Chapter 180: Junior Brother, are you crying?

"I met the Water-Confusing Clan."

As soon as the half of the jade pendant engraved with a fish tail appeared in Ye Xingzhou's hand, Meng Zhi's face darkened.

He stared at Ye Xingzhou intently, clenched his fists, and his eyes were cold and fierce, which was so frightening that it made people feel scared.

"Ye Xingzhou, I don't want to listen, and I don't want to have anything to do with Shui Yujun."

"If you want me to go back and recognize my relatives, then our relationship ends here."

His voice was cold, but upon closer listening, it was tinged with uncontrollable hatred.

Ye Xingzhou clenched the jade pendant in his hand and was speechless for a moment.

He didn't expect Meng Zhi to react so violently.

Meng Zhi could say Shui Yujun's name as soon as he opened his mouth. It was obvious that he knew her life experience.

Shui Yujun concealed from him the fact that she had visited Meng Zhi.

Ye Xingzhou's momentary silence caught Meng Zhi's eyes, which was a response to the second half of his words.

Meng Zhi's lips were stretched into a straight line. He raised his hand to dissipate the barrier. He suppressed his anger and spoke word by word.

"If you want to tell about my background, then go ahead."

After he finished speaking, Meng Zhi turned around and left without any hesitation.

Ye Xingzhou grabbed his wrist and said, "Junior brother, I don't know how to do it."

Meng Zhi glanced sideways with a cold look in his eyes, and he shook off Ye Xingzhou's hand.

"Whether you can or can't is none of my business. From today on, our friendship is over."

"Junior brother, don't be like this." Ye Xingzhou quickly caught up with Meng Zhi, "I didn't agree to him, and I never thought of asking you to go back and recognize your relatives. I never did."

"You know, I won't force you to accept anyone or anything you don't like. Not before, not now, and not in the future."

Meng Zhi had a stern face, his eyes were pure black and full of hostility, making people dare not look directly at him.

"How much benefit did Shuiyujun give you by being close to me?"

If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight tremor in his voice.

Bad words hurt people’s hearts.

Don't think that Meng Zhi's words are harsh and hurtful. If you let Meng Zhi leave today without knowing the reason, misunderstandings will arise, and Meng Zhi will have to hide in the quilt and cry secretly.

The words turned into a sigh. Ye Xingzhou grabbed Meng Zhi's belt and refused to let him go no matter how hard he struggled.

"Junior brother, you and I have always been the best."

"All I accepted were the benefits you gave me. In the beginning, I really became friends with you because of the benefits you gave me. Later, I treated you well with all my heart."

"You risked your life to save me that time in Dongyin Country, so how could I betray you? You can take my life, but I already owe you one."

"But if you want to break up with me, that won't work. I can't bear to let you go, and I can't bear to see you sad."

Meng Zhi's clenched fist gradually loosened, leaving several deep crescent marks on the palm of his hand, almost sinking into the flesh.

Ye Xingzhou continued, "I made a deal with Shui Yujun. He asked me to give the jade pendant to you, and I changed it to ask him to help me find the black-robed man and kill him."

"I didn't know this would have such a big impact on you. It's my fault. If you don't like it, I won't mention it again in the future."

He has a long mouth, so if there is any misunderstanding, he will explain it clearly.

Besides, there is no distinction between high and low in friendship.

He was willing to bow his head and explain proactively because that person was Meng Zhi, his junior fellow apprentice.

However, when Meng Zhi heard the three words "man in black robe", her fingertips trembled.

That is an existence that can hide in Yantian Sect and threaten Ye Xingzhou's safety.

What did Ye Xingzhou do wrong?

Ye Xingzhou just wanted to live.

Even though he had a soul contract and even though he gave Ye Xingzhou a protective magic weapon, he could not protect him all the time.

Every time he got angry, Ye Xingzhou would come to make peace. Anyone would be tired, but Ye Xingzhou never did. He was always tolerant.

And his words of breakup were so hurtful to Luoye Xingzhou.

If Ye Xingzhou had lost his temper, wouldn't they have ended up breaking up?

Does he want to see it? No, not at all.

Meng Zhi's throat tightened and the words of apology were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.

He stood there for a long time, speechless.

Ye Xingzhou raised his eyes and looked into Meng Zhi's eyes with an unprecedented seriousness.

Meng Zhi didn't dare to look directly into that honest gaze at this moment, and his evasive eyes looked a bit embarrassed.

"Junior brother, don't be like this." Ye Xingzhou slowed down his voice, "I don't want to see you sad."

Meng Zhi's body trembled slightly.

Ye Xingzhou stood on tiptoe and touched his forehead to Meng Zhi's.

Through the transmission of warm body temperature, Ye Xingzhou could clearly feel Meng Zhi's trembling, Meng Zhi's uneasiness, Meng Zhi's... fear.

Meng Zhi is also afraid of losing this friendship.

Ye Xingzhou reached out, grabbed Meng Zhi's belt with one hand to prevent him from running away, and put his other hand around his waist from behind, like a vine, and gently patted his back, as if to comfort him.

"Junior brother, Meng Zhi, you are the person I trust the most. Please don't say these things again in the future, okay?"

"……good."

Meng Zhi's voice became much hoarse and dry.

"Ye Xingzhou, aren't you angry?"

This was the second time he asked Ye Xingzhou if he would be angry. In fact, he wanted to ask more: Ye Xingzhou, aren’t you tired?

It was Meng Zhi who was angry, it was Meng Zhi who was being unreasonable, and it was also Meng Zhi who was throwing tantrums.

Ye Xingzhou seemed tireless. He touched him when he was covered in thorns, and got closer and more accommodating to him when he threw tantrums again and again.

Meng Zhi's fingertips trembled.

He had to admit that he had always been the despicable one in friendship, testing Ye Xingzhou's bottom line time and time again. He was not worthy of such a good Ye Xingzhou.

Just as Meng Zhi was about to clench his palms again, a hand clasped his bent knuckles.

The fingertips, which were slightly cooler than his body temperature, gently smoothed out the deep marks on his palm.

The fragrance of tassels spreads everywhere.

He heard Ye Xingzhou's voice.

"Junior brother, I've said before, I'll never be angry with you. No matter how many times I say it, it'll always be the same answer."

"It's normal to have a temper. Just let it out. Senior Brother won't blame you, never."

Meng Zhi lowered his head and buried it in Ye Xingzhou's shoulder, hiding his thoughts deep inside.

“…I’m sorry, brother.”

He squeezed these words out of his throat, which was so hoarse.

Ye Xingzhou opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Meng Zhi called him "Senior Brother"?!

This is Meng Zhi’s first apology!

How honored he is!

"fine."

Ye Xingzhou suppressed the upward corners of his mouth, but the joy on his face still betrayed his current mood.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have wanted to show off wherever he went.

Look how obedient his junior brother is.

Ye Xingzhou's shoulders stiffened until he felt the wet and hot touch on his skin.

Is Meng Zhi...crying?

Are you so touched?

Ye Xingzhou reached out to lift Meng Zhi's head, but Meng Zhi held his shoulders tightly and refused to move. Ye Xingzhou tilted his head to look at him.

"Junior brother, are you crying?"

"……No."

It lacks the flamboyance of the past, and still has a muffled voice.

"You really didn't cry?" Ye Xingzhou asked again.

This time, he felt a bite on his shoulder in response.

Meng Zhi opened her mouth and bit his shoulder. The bite was very light, and it was obvious that Meng Zhi was trying to stop Ye Xingzhou from continuing.

Ye Xingzhou suppressed his smile, his eyes swept over the black mole on Meng Zhi's left ear, and he whispered in her ear.

"Junior brother, I will always be your support."
