Leave me!
For some reason, Xia Zhi felt a sense of loss in her heart.
She shook her head and trudged upstairs.
There was a biting chill all over his body and he was carrying several bulging plastic bags.
It was filled with all kinds of food.
Xia Zhi immediately extended her hand out to receive it, "Why did you buy so much? "Hurry up and give it to me!"
"Don't move. This is too heavy, be careful not to hurt your hands! " But Yi Zihan refused to let her take it.
Xia Zhi could only move to the side and let him in, "Don't tell me that you fought so hard for an entire afternoon just for this."
Yi Zihan strode into the kitchen and placed the plastic bags on the counter. He then sorted the food out and put them away like food.
Xia Zhi watched on silently. After he had put away all the food, she said in a low voice: "I actually don't have much time to eat at home, even if you buy me so many things. As time passed, many things were wasted. Zi Han, it's really unnecessary. "
Yi Zihan lowered his head, washed the pot and put it on the stove. After igniting the fire, he turned to her and said, "It's better to waste your food than to have nothing to cook when you want to eat it. I don't want you to have to wrap wine around your belly when you're hungry and have no choice. It will destroy your body. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't care, but if I saw it, I couldn't ignore it! Don't be annoyed with me. It was too late. Who let you choose to bring me into this house. "
As he spoke, he turned around and took out a piece of lean meat to chop. His expression was solemn and focused, as if he was doing something extremely important.
Xia Zhi's eyes became misty as she looked at it, but she slowly walked out of the kitchen.
After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she was holding the pair of jade bracelets that Lady Yi had gifted her yesterday. Yi Zihan walked out of the kitchen with steaming hot noodles and egg pancakes.
"Come and sit down." Yi Zihan called out to her.
She walked over and handed the box over, "Take this back before I eat. This is not what I should have taken. "
"If you shouldn't take this, then this world isn't a world where other women have the right to take it." Yi Zihan's expression was indifferent, he did not even look at her, and just calmly placed his spoon and chopsticks beside the bowl, then pulled out a chair for her, "Eat while it's hot. It's not good for the stomach. "
Xia Zhi stretched out his hand stubbornly, "If you don't accept it, then I won't eat it. "Not only will I not eat today, I will never eat again."
Yi Zihan suddenly raised his head and looked at her, then asked: "Are you that anxious to sever all relations with me?"
"NO!" Of course not. I have always treated you like a friend or an elder brother, and I have always longed to have you by my side all my life. You always let me see the sun and feel safe. Do you know how important that is to me? That's why I have to give it back to you. This is the only way we can live without hurting each other. "
"I don't know! I don't understand! " Yi Zihan suddenly erupted and slammed the table hard.
With such strength, the dishes on the table jumped up and collided with each other, letting out a crisp and melodious sound as well as a little bit of the soup spilled out.
Xia Zhi's face paled as she looked at the broth on the table spreading out, and said in a hoarse voice, "That is why. Zi Han, you are a good person with warmth and sunshine, but you are not a saint without emotions and desires. Because of this, your feelings for me could hurt you at any time. I have seen many of the good people of the past turn their humanity off course because of their different greed. My parents are like this, Xu Shang is like this, Pei Yaochen is like this, Han Jing is like this, Yang Yazhu is like this, Yang Yazhu is like this, even I am like this. I know that I am walking on a dark and sinister path of no return. I am unable to save myself and am also unable to stop Pei Yaochen and the others. Leave me. Live for justice as you did before, work hard for the things and the people that are worthy of you, and not fall for a monster like me... "
When Yi Zihan heard this, he felt a deep pain in his heart. He had no choice but to admit that every word Xia Zhi said was correct, smashing right into his heart.
Deep in his heart, he disdained Xia Zhi's actions of revenge. Although she had not directly harmed anyone, there was bound to be a day when the battle between her and Pei Yaochen involved innocence.
For example, during the last fire incident at Hearst Manor, it was very likely that the unrelated people would be harmed in such a chaotic situation.
Although he really wanted to warn her that she had done her job well, every time he saw her sorrowful eyes, his heart would soften into a mess and he was unwilling to say anything to her.
More importantly, he had no choice but to help her when she was in danger, regardless of whether she was right or wrong.
If things went on like this for a long time, she was afraid that he would really be slowly pulled into her cycle of revenge, unable to extricate himself.
And this result, other than making him more and more depraved, had no result at all.
She wouldn't want him.
In her eyes, there was only Pei Yaochen.
On the surface, the other side of the hatred was love, right?
Without love, where would hatred come from?
And was that terrible consequence really what he wanted?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Seeing him frown and ponder, Xia Zhi didn't say anything further. She just sat down and slowly ate the noodles, one by one.
Yi Zihan did indeed love her deeply, but he would never give up on his basic principles just because he loved her.
Moreover, she also hoped that he would be like this, because he was really the only light and hope she had left in this world.
If even he could lose justice because of love, then all she wanted was to kill herself!
It was because she had personally dragged him into hell …
When Xia Zhi counted to twenty-eight, Yi Zihan picked up the embroidered box she placed on the table, turned and left with big strides.
When he closed the door, he used a lot of strength and made a loud 'bang' sound, which frightened her so much that her whole body trembled.
But she smiled.
As he smiled, his face was filled with tears …
After Xia Zhi finished eating, she cleaned up the table and went out.
After arriving at the company, she threw herself into the mess of public service.
At noon, Ah Zheng came in and asked her what he wanted to eat as usual. She didn't give any reaction, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Ah Zheng frowned, and quietly retreated.
Only a quarter of an hour later, he walked in again. Following him was the rich fragrance of food.
Xia Zhi frowned in displeasure, "I said I won't eat anything!"
Ah Zheng said softly: "It was Yi Zihan who sent it to the company. He said it was specially made for you."
Xia Zhi was startled, and waved her hand.
Ah Zheng hurried forward.
"Open." Xia Zhi said softly.
Ah Zheng opened his mouth.
When Xia Zhi looked inside, she saw a small cup of chicken soup, a cup of porridge and a few small dishes.
Light nourishing stomach but nutritious.
He had indeed thought about it.
But she couldn't be happy.
Because his concern indicated that he still could not let her go.
She closed her eyes and waved her hand. "Take it away."
Ah Zheng was startled, "You don't want to eat it?"
"No taste."
"Then where should I take it?"
"Anywhere. If he's here, then return it to him. If you're not there, throw it into the dustbin outside the company. " Xia Zhi rubbed her eyebrows in pain.
"Are you sure?" Ah Zheng asked, unwilling to give up.
Xia Zhi suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him, but did not say a single word.
Ah Zheng knew that she was truly angry, and anxiously said: "I will take it right now!"
He picked up the basket and hurried away.
When Ah Zheng threw the food inside the dustbin, Yi Zihan sat in the carriage and looked everything over clearly. He frowned, stepped on the throttle, and drove off.
In the morning of every following day, Xia Zhi would receive a bunch of roses for her breakfast when she left her room.
The company was guessing which rich young master was secretly wooing her and even placed this bet. They heard that every unmarried young master in City L was betting on them.
Xia Zhi only had one way of handling it, and that was to throw all the food and flowers back into the dustbin.
Although it hurt his heart to do this, he didn't feel that it hurt him. He also felt that he was doing something extremely cruel to Yi Zihan due to his heartache.
But even so, she had to persevere.
It was because she knew that being cruel for a moment was her responsibility for his entire life.
This matter should have been done a long time ago, but because he had always coveted his happiness, he kept delaying it.
She had to make up her mind to fight until he became more and more direct in both actions and speech …
This situation continued for half a month, until this morning when Xia Zhi opened the door and habitually looked down, only to discover that the door was completely empty.
He finally woke up.
Just as she was about to collapse …
Xia Zhi laughed bitterly, she wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes and walked up to the front of the car with her head held high, getting in.
At noon, Ah Zheng walked in and said uneasily: "No one is sending food and flowers today."
"Very good. This is normal. " Xia Zhi laughed indifferently and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Ah Zheng asked anxiously.
"Let's go eat!" "Finally, I have a taste!" Xia Zhi walked into the elevator without looking back.
After finishing his meal, Xia Zhi did not return home. Instead, he went to the Walking Street to stroll around for the better part of the afternoon.
Ah Zheng reminded, "President Tian, tonight is Qiao Zhian's birthday celebration. He called to confirm your presence before you returned. "
Xia Zhi laughed lightly, "He is much more active than before, it seems like Pei Yaochen spent a lot of money on him."
"Do you want to go?"
"Of course. Don't you see that I spent an afternoon strolling through the streets for tonight's dinner? " Xia Zhi waved the paper bag in his hand.
"Then I'll answer. He said that if you were to go, he would come and get you himself. "
"Don't let him take it. I'll go by myself! If he insists on it, I will not go! " Xia Zhi waved his hand, pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.
