Just as Zha Zhongqi was about to speak, his phone screen lit up with a WeChat message containing only two words:

"Done."

To maintain the mystery, Zha Zhongqi pointed to the corn and asked:

"Is it tasty?"

Just as Tang Li was about to ask another question, Zha Zhongqi shushed her:

"When the sun rises tomorrow, the man you love will come running to you in full armor. Would you be willing to trust me this once?"

Tang Li did not answer.

Zha Zhongqi reached out and tapped her head:

"Perhaps it's because we're in the same boat, but I feel no sense of unfamiliarity with you. I even feel like you're my own sister. There are some surprises, but I can't presume to do it for you, just as I hope you can keep my secret."

Tang Li understood immediately.

"How long do you intend to keep this from Yunxi? I'm afraid I won't be able to resist letting it slip in front of her."

Zha Zhongqi said almost pleadingly:

“I want to apologize to her in person after things have settled down. She has already gone through a long and arduous journey, and the road ahead will be even more difficult. I don’t want her to suffer.”

Tang Li wanted to offer some advice, but before she could even open her mouth, he interrupted her:

"I know you'll tell me that every day with me is better for her than losing me, but I want to show her my best side, do you understand?"

Tang Li shook his head:

"All I know is that it's better for two people to bear it than for one person to suffer alone."

The crescent moon peeked out from behind the dark clouds. Zha Zhongqi looked up at the sky and explained:

“A person seeking revenge can never be clean. Just like I knew you were innocent, but I still dragged you down with me. Although Tang Yuan’s final fate was not my wish, I did contribute to the fact that Lin Yiyun nailed him to the pillar of shame.”

Tang Li roughly understood.

Tears welled up in Zha Zhongqi's eyes:

"I hope that what the people I love see in their eyes is the purity and beauty of the world. As for the filth and ugliness, let the scumbag Zhongqi, who has returned from his lustful days, take it all."

While expressing his own opinion, Zha Zhongqi didn't forget to defend Huo Chenyu:

"Just like King Yan, his lifelong wish was to cherish you like an innocent little princess for the rest of his life. I was too selfish and ruined your originally happy life. Don't worry, sister, I will apologize to you."

Tang Li's eyes were filled with tears:

"Six years have passed, and everyone says the Tang family is deeply sinful. I never expected that you would be the first person to clear the Tang family's name."

Zha Zhongqi reached out his arm, hesitated for a moment, and then put his arm around her shoulder.

The two people stood in the moonlight, their shadows long, both slender and strong.

"Let us protect our loved ones in our own different ways. Because of her, even if I return from hell, I still see flowers blooming everywhere in this world."

I have returned from hell, and I see the world in full bloom.

Tang Li wept uncontrollably:

"You are truly great."

Zha Zhongqi was amused by her:

"This is not greatness, but to put it bluntly, it is selfishness. So selfish that I think her whole life belongs to me and can only belong to me, so I dare to defy even death."

Tang Li was both amused and exasperated.

"So you're saying that the end of the universe is metaphysics, and the end of selfishness is grandeur."

"Fallacy, fallacy, utter fallacy."

Zha Zhongqi said modestly.

Tang Li almost forgot the most important thing:

"How did you manage to escape death that day?"

Zha Zhongqi sat on the wall of the ruins of the Zha family, reached out and pulled Tang Li up, and the two sat on the wall.

"I thought you would be more eager to get resource sharing from me."

Tang Li gently touched his arm, her cautious gesture not catching Zha Zhongqi's eye. He grabbed Tang Li's wrist, punched himself hard in the chest, and told her:

"I'm not that fragile, don't treat me like a porcelain doll."

After saying that, he let go, and although Tang Li threw another punch, the force was still very small.

Zha Zhongqi braced himself against the wall, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and said to the sky:

“The car accident happened in an instant. I was sitting in the passenger seat, and my father was driving. All I know is that the moment the two cars collided, my father turned the steering wheel to the right. The huge impact threw me out of the car, which was originally going to stop at the intersection to buy motion sickness patches for my mother. The car first caught fire and then exploded.”

Generally speaking, the front passenger seat is the least safe position.

In order to survive, drivers will instinctively protect themselves the moment danger strikes.

But in that situation, Zha Tiesheng swerved to the right, preventing his son from colliding with the vehicle.

“The whole process was very fast, and I didn’t have time to react. Later, in countless late nights when I recalled that day, I felt that the King of Hell had pulled me out of the water. He probably didn’t want to take me, a little devil, so he pulled me into the sewer. Because of the explosion, the sewer cover was able to cover the opening perfectly. When I flowed into the river through the sewer and survived, everyone thought I was dead.”

Although Zha Zhongqi spoke of it casually, even with a touch of humor.

But even with her eyes closed, Tang Li could still imagine that scene.

After the car collision, he was thrown out and fell into a sewer, which was then blocked by the explosion.

That's how he escaped with his life.

But the flames from the explosion still burned him beyond recognition after he fell into the sewer.

Who saved you back then?

If it flows down the sewer into the river, most people will die.

Moreover, he was also seriously injured.

“It’s Yunxi.” Every time Yunxi’s name was mentioned, Zha Zhongqi’s voice would become incredibly gentle.
