"Hur hur. That's what you said. I recorded it! If you go back on your word, then I'll take your word and release it in my circle of friends. At that time, don't blame me for not giving you face! " Lucian smiled triumphantly.
"I won't give you a chance! "Don't worry!" Xia Zhi said proudly.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhi could only smile helplessly.
It was only tonight that she would use alcohol to numb herself. Only then would she be able to sleep peacefully.
She didn't want to disappoint Lucien and make him proud. She needed a good night's sleep, a good night's sleep that wasn't due to sleeping pills …
Xia Zhi threw her phone on the sofa, turned around and walked to the wine shelf, took a bottle of Black Cube, and went back into her bedroom.
Half an hour later, she fell into a deep sleep.
The dream was not peaceful. She dreamed that she was taking the child to the amusement park. She was sitting on the merry-go-round with the child in her arms, laughing happily.
As she smiled, she suddenly realized that the child had disappeared. She panicked and frightened as she jumped off the wooden horse, searching everywhere. However, she was unable to find the child even after searching for a long time.
She was in a frenzy as tears streamed down her face as she fled all over the place. Her heart was filled with despair and pain …
She wished she was dreaming and struggled to wake up, but no matter how she struggled, she couldn't wake up.
She could not leave the crowded amusement park, much less give up the search.
After an unknown amount of time, she discovered that she had finally left the amusement park and arrived at the top of a mountain. Looking at the pitch black cliff, she suddenly realized that she had always been walking down a path of no return.
She was sad and exhausted, and suddenly she wanted to end it all. She felt that this was the only way to get the child back into his old life, so she jumped to the bottom of the cliff.
The feeling of her feet falling off the ground was very terrifying. It was so frightening that she felt her whole body shudder and then wake up.
He opened his eyes and sat up, realizing that he was still in the hotel. The golden dawn had illuminated the entire room, and there was a polite and restrained knock on the door.
So it was all a dream!
It was because she had been thinking too much last night …
Xia Zhi's entire body was drenched in cold air. She jumped off the bed and ran to open the door, but to her surprise, she saw Yi Zihan walking away with a gust of cold air.
"Why is it you?" She was surprised and happy.
God knows how much she longed to see him at this time.
She only felt that her entire world was being blown by the wind every day. The snow that fell was cold and gloomy and filled with despair, and Yi Zihan was always able to let her see a hint of hope and sunshine.
"You don't want to see me?" Yi Zihan smiled gently.
"How is this possible? He was just surprised! Come on in! " Xia Zhi dodged to the side and let him in.
As he passed her, he suddenly stopped and reached out to pick up a strand of wet hair from her cheek. His eyes darkened as he whispered, "Have you had a nightmare?"
"That's right!" Last night, someone suddenly ran off to see a Thai ghost film, only to dream of being chased by the evil mind of the movie. Fortunately, you knocked on the door in time, otherwise I would still be running in my dreams! " Xia Zhi said with a faint smile.
"Is that all?" Yi Zihan raised his eyebrows.
"Of course. What do you think? " Xia Zhi smiled and closed the door, "You must be tired from the night on the plane, right? "Wait for me for a moment, I'll go to the bathroom to wash up first. Then, I'll come out with you to the cafeteria downstairs for breakfast."
"Alright." Yi Zihan took off his coat, turned and looked around, sighing, "No matter how comfortable the hotel is, it is not as comfortable as my home. Don't you already have several houses here? "Why don't you just pick a set and properly decorate it?"
"The hotel is more lively. Furthermore, we don't need to cook, it's very convenient. " Xia Zhi smiled, took her clothes and quickly entered the bathroom.
Yi Zihan was deeply moved by her words.
She was pitifully lonely, and he wanted to be the one who would always be with her, even if he didn't say anything, just stay by her side and watch over her.
Unfortunately, she was also proud. She was used to hiding and healing herself, just like last night when she was clearly too sad and lonely to resolve, yet she still calmly told him that nothing was wrong.
He had a feeling of helplessness.
He wanted to persuade her again to give up her revenge, but he also knew that she was terrifyingly stubborn, and once she made a decision, no one would be able to persuade her.
Repeatedly persuading him was only to force her to stay away from him.
Without him, she would become even more lonely and desperate, and there would truly be no possibility of ever coming back.
So no matter how worried he was, he could only stay where he was, watching every word she said and every expression on her face to see what she was really thinking, and then give him the help he could give in time.
Just like now, when she was at her loneliest and most desperate, she had come all the way here to see her.
Yi Zihan sighed weakly and turned towards the kitchen.
When Xia Zhi came out, she did not see Yi Zihan. She could not help but be stunned, and somewhat suspected that the meeting earlier was just a figment of her imagination.
Her mental state was too poor, and it was not impossible for her to occasionally have hallucinations.
However, she suddenly heard some movement from behind her. Turning around, she saw Yi Zihan, who was wearing an apron, walking out from the kitchen with a smile, "I've made breakfast, hurry over and eat it."
Xia Zhi opened her mouth and asked blankly: "Are you really here?"
"What do you mean?" Yi Zihan placed the bowl on the table, turned and walked in front of her, and pulled her hand all the way to his face, "Pinch with force to see."
Xia Zhi pinch her in pain, causing her face to contort, but she continued to smile gently, "How is it? Is there a real sense of touch? "
Xia Zhi laughed, "When I came out and saw that you weren't here, I thought that meeting you was just an illusion!"
Yi Zihan's eyes lit up, "Are you hoping for me to be here, or not?"
"Of course I'm here." Xia Zhi smiled lightly, "You make me feel very warm."
"Hur hur. You obviously think of me as a warm baby. " Yi Zihan chuckled, then took her hand and walked over to the dining table. He pressed her down on the chair and pushed the bowl in front of her, "This is the dumpling that I told you about last night, if you wanted to taste it, I brought it over. "You go ahead and eat first. I've even brought some wontons and goosebumps to cook in the pot. It should be ready now. I'll go and get them."
He turned and hurried into the kitchen.
Xia Zhi looked at the white crystal balls of soup, and her heart was filled with emotion.
Last night, she had only casually said that she wanted to eat, but he had flown all the way here. This emotion was too much for her to bear.
She knew that if it was for his own good, she should drive him away, tell him never to mind that she would never be troubled by anything else about her, so that he could have the chance to live the happy life he deserved.
However, she couldn't say that out loud.
He was the only ray of sunlight in her world. If she could lose that ray of light, then she might go further and further on her long road to revenge, so far that she could never turn back.
Although she had already made up her mind not to turn back, at least his existence meant that her life had a way out.
This was very selfish, very despicable, and very shameless. However, she was like a person that was about to drown, and wanted to not let go of him …
Just as she was thinking that, Yi Zihan had already brought two bowls of wontons and dumplings to her side. Seeing her holding the chopsticks and looking at Soup Yuan not moving, he lightly touched her elbow, reminding her with a smile, "What are you thinking? "Why are you so lost in thought?"
"Nothing." Xia Zhi came back to her senses, and smiled gently at him, "I only feel that this Soup Dumplings is very well cooked, and I really don't want to eat it!"
"No matter how beautiful it is, it's still used for eating." Yi Zihan sat across her and urged, "Hurry and eat. It doesn't taste good when it's cold. I've had dumplings, wontons, and dumplings. "
"I can't finish so much all by myself. Let's go together, only then will it be lively and fun!" Xia Zhi's eyes could not help but flicker with tears.
"Alright. "Let's eat together." Yi Zihan felt unexplainable heartache when he saw this, so he stood up and took a small bowl to share with Xia Zhi.
The two of them ate very slowly and attentively.
When Xia Zhi finished the last dumpling, Yi Zihan asked concernedly: "Are you full? "If not, I'll go to the next point. I've brought enough this time."
Xia Zhi quickly waved her hands, "There's no need. Enough. I'm really full. In the end, you've actually made it yourself. The food is truly delicious and has the taste of home. "
As he finished speaking, his face couldn't help but show traces of sadness.
"In the future, if you want to eat, just call me. I'll definitely deliver it for you! I promise you, you will enjoy my, Yi Zihan's, specialized delivery services for the rest of your life. " Yi Zihan laughed and patted his chest, "I will never be able to keep up with your words!"
"Alright. I remember. " Xia Zhi vigorously nodded his head. His heart was moved and ashamed, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little wet.
Having known him for so long, it had always been him selflessly giving up his life, yet she could do nothing other than create trouble for him …
Seeing her tears, Yi Zihan was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he pretended not to see, smiled and got up to pack up his tableware and enter the kitchen, asking loudly: "The weather today is not bad, let's go climb the mountain in the outskirts?"
Hearing his words, Xia Zhi suddenly remembered her date with Lu Sean. She lifted her wrist and looked at her watch, only to realize that it was already 9: 30. She clenched her teeth, looked at Yi Zihan who was busy washing the dishes in the kitchen, and then looked at her watch, hesitating.
There was only half an hour until her appointment with Lucian. Whose appointment was she supposed to make?
