Chapter 417: Evil (46)

He didn't want to let go.

He is still the one who refuses to repent.

I want to use impulse to temporarily forget the unbearable past.

He was greedy for the fleeting happiness and Qiao Xi's body temperature. After the hysteria, he also wanted to plunder her completely with a kiss. Then he would use it to numb his nerves and cover up his self-abandonment.

But Qiao Xi didn't give him this opportunity.

After pushing and pulling each other into the girl's room and closing the door, they both fell on the soft bed. Qiao Xi quickly covered his lips just before he leaned over for a kiss.

"Zhan Qi, don't force me to hate you more and more."

“…”

The man's eyes were deep, pulsing with a near-paranoia. The feelings that had been torn into a thousand pieces after the pain were pieced together again, forming the most unspeakable twisted love.

His deep voice was more gentle than ever before.

"...Be good, I won't do anything."

He pulled the girl's hand that was covering his lips and kissed it with the utmost piety and affection.

"Just lie to me this once, okay?"

He kissed Qiao Xi's soft hand, buried his head in the girl's neck and whispered a humble plea. Qiao Xi pushed him away, and he stood up as she wished. The man's slender hands rested on the buttons of his clothes, unbuttoning them one by one.

The girl was stunned when she saw this and immediately became alert.

However, Zhan Qi noticed the change in her expression.

I soon knew what Qiao Xi was thinking. She must be extremely afraid of repeating the same mistake. Even though she had already fallen, she still had an instinctive fear of him that she could not dispel. Doing that kind of thing might not be a pleasure for her.

He is the only one who is wishful thinking.

He had nothing to give to Qiao Xi, nothing left.

If he still thought that the only one he had was Qiao Xi, but now even Qiao Xi didn't want him. When he decided to go against Yan Shen and chose Qiao Xi without hesitation to be with her, he was already taking a gamble.

but……

He lost the bet.

Qiao Xi didn't want him, he had nothing. Even if he wanted to repay the mistakes and harm he had done to the girl, he could only spread out this broken body covered in bruises and present it to her.

Zhan Qi's knees slowly bent down.

While Qiao Xi was slightly stunned, he had already lowered his head, bent his knees, and slowly knelt on the ground. His thin pajamas had been taken off and slid off, revealing his well-proportioned, wheat-colored, muscular upper body covered in scars.

Zhan Qi opened his lips and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

"...I have nothing to give you."

Therefore, the only way for Qiao Xi to vent her anger and hatred towards him was to let her beat or scold her.

His life was awful.

I can't even pay back Qiao Xi.

The girl clutched the corner of the quilt and slowly sat up, looking at the man in front of her who had brought her nightmares for countless nights and was now kneeling here to pay for his sins in such a humble way. She felt dazed.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips.

An inexplicable feeling of bitterness welled up in her eyes, and her beautiful eyes became moist in an instant.

"Zhan Qi, do you think I will be soft-hearted and forgive you if you do this?" She was suppressing the slight trembling in her voice. Isn't it too late to turn back after pushing someone into a desperate situation?

"Don't be soft-hearted, and don't forgive me."

Zhan Qi raised his eyes to look at her, his stubborn gaze not wavering at all.

He lowered his eyes and tentatively reached out his hand. When he noticed the girl flinching slightly, his hand paused. But he still carefully reached in and gently cupped her fair little feet amidst the girl's slight resistance and trembling.

Pull it over slightly and press it against your chest.

His hoarse voice was a little bitter: "Xixi, don't be so gentle to me."

So gentle... that it gave him hope that he shouldn't have.

He always wanted to push for more, thinking that he could have a future with her. He was obsessed with it and unwilling to let go.

He had done so many wrong things to her.

What she did in return was less than one tenth of what she had done. Xixi was really... still indulging and being gentle to him at this time, but he clearly had more excessive thoughts.

He even wanted to take advantage of her tenderness towards him.

If you want to go a little further, ask for a kiss.

But he couldn't do that, he had made enough mistakes and couldn't continue to be stubborn. He cultivated her evil and greed, and also wanted his girl to have sharp thorns to hide the innocent and cowardly self deep in her heart.

She is really beautiful, bright and unrestrained.

If she goes out, she can still have a bright future.

In this world where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

Innocence is destined to be bruised all over. He personally became the villain and indulged in his greed for her.

“Woo…”

The girl's delicate shoulders were shaking, and her two fair little hands were wiping her face carelessly to wipe away the tears that were rolling down her face.

Zhan Qi's heart suddenly tightened and ached, and the hand he was holding on Qiao Xi fell down weakly.

“Don’t cry…”

Zhan Qi's originally straight back slowly bent down, his hands collapsed to cover his expression, and sadness almost overflowed in his hoarse and difficult voice.

"Xixi, please... don't cry for someone like me."

You still have to shed tears for him at this time. He is a complete rotten person. It is a waste to shed a tear for him.

It's so sad.

He doesn't deserve even a little bit of her tenderness.

"Scumbag, Zhan Qi, you are just a cheap scumbag, wuwuwu..."

Qiao Xi wiped her tears frantically, sobbing and kicking him hard on the shoulder. Zhan Qi had no defense against her to begin with, and after being kicked so hard by the girl, he fell to the ground in a mess.

My vision shifted dizzily.

He stared at the ceiling of Qiao Xi's room in a trance, the girl's sobbing that made him feel like a knife was piercing his heart was heard beside his ears. Qiao Xi must have really lost control of her emotions. After kicking him down, she rushed over and beat him randomly.

Who wants to sink?

It's so wrong that there's no turning back.

Perhaps he knew it better than anyone else, yet he still deceived himself. Zhan Qi closed his eyes and said nothing, letting Qiao Xi vent her anger and beat him. The new scars stung the old ones, stretching out into a flood.

"Even if someone like you dies, no one will feel sorry for you."

Qiao Xi seemed to have used up all the words she could think of to hurt him.

Zhan Qi looked at her gently and responded with a soft "hmm".

He did it himself.

Even this scarred body was a cheap and unbearable compensation. It was his debt to Qiao Xi, but it was far from enough to repay her injuries.

Zhan Qi propped himself up slightly and sat up.

His strong arms wrapped around the girl's back, gently pressing down her still crying body and hiding her in his arms. He lowered his eyelids, his hoarse voice very soft, with an imperceptible clumsy tenderness.

"So don't cry, don't cry for someone like me."

Qiao Xi, who was held in his arms, looked dazed.

When she came to her senses, she sniffed and pushed him away with red eyes. Her hysterical look was the most devastating and painful thing Zhan Qi had never seen before: "Get out, get out!"

“…”

Zhan Qi pursed his lips.

He looked at her deeply, but still said nothing.

He lowered his eyes, picked up his clothes, stood up shakily and left her room.

The lonely and desolate figure also disappeared behind the closed door, and the clear sound of the door closing completely separated the two people's worlds from then on.

He staggered a few steps like a zombie.

All the unbearable emotions that came to him belatedly flooded and spread rapidly the moment he couldn't see Qiao Xi. The cold air filled his lungs, making even breathing dry and painful.

He owed her.

It can never be made up for.

If, if he still has a future, if he can still have a future after atonement, can he compensate her with the remaining share?

There will always be such self-deceiving thoughts.

Who are you deceiving?

Even if he really had that uncertain future, Qiao Xi would have already left here to embrace the vast blue sky. And from then on, their worlds had become two parallel lines.

There will never be an intersection.

“…”

“…………beep.”

"...Auntie, it's me. Um, there's something I want to tell you. My sister is resting now, so I'm here to call."

…

The intermittent voices were drowned in the cold living room. Qiao Xi covered her dizzy head with her hands and climbed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the window.

It was the fine and dense cold rain that was falling, filling the old and dim street lights downstairs, and the hazy sound of the rain was shrouded in the halo.

living room.

It was Zhan Qi who put down the phone and looked at the rain pouring into the balcony.

The fresh scent of grass and trees brought his thoughts back to the park where he first met Qiao Xishi. The girl, holding an umbrella and wearing a pair of red rain boots, walked into the quiet rain.

Slowly.

Coming into his silent world, that simple voice filled with temptation and caution sounded hesitantly, calling his name crisply.

"Zhan Qi, are you here?"

Tick, tick.

It wasn't just the dense, cold rain that was falling; it was also her voice that broke the silence that caused slight ripples in his lonely and numb world.

final.

He moved, his body, curled up and closed for so long, had already become stiff. However, he still tried his best to reach out his hand in that small space and responded to her.

At that time, my subconscious instinct might have been to catch it.

I'm so tired.

Zhan Qi forcibly cut off his memories of this scene and withdrew his gaze from the drizzling rain outside the window.

My thoughts calmed down and gradually became empty.

He closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, not wanting to think about it anymore. There was no aftermath and no outcome. He always regretted things after he had lost them, perhaps because he was such a loser.

…

Quiet rain scene.

Carrying too much overflowing sadness, it overflows.

Qiao Xi's consciousness became drowsy and she fell into a deep sleep.

This kind of emotional outburst must be controlled in moderation and must be done in one go in front of others, without any room for error.

The little white cat and the little black cat in the space looked at each other.

It was open for business in the past.

I haven't seen many scenes like this that require continuous outbursts and control of emotions, and it's probably really tiring now.

Yan Shen was hospitalized.

Some of the injuries were severe enough that they passed out, but they received prompt medical treatment. Most of the injuries were superficial and not life-threatening, but they just needed time to recover.

When Yu Zhi and Yan Liang came back that afternoon.

After hearing what happened, he seemed to be quite surprised. And the next day, Qiao Xi didn't show up even though she'd asked for leave. It was as if they had agreed to disappear at the same time as Zhan Qi.

They went to the hospital.

After visiting Yan Shen, I knew that he was awake and nothing serious was wrong, so I chatted with him for a few minutes and then left.

only.

When Yan Shen learned that Qiao Xi and Zhan Qi did not come, his gloomy and terrifying eyes became extremely scary and distorted.

Also on the next day.

After Zhan Qi had avoided her for a whole day, Qiao Xi inexplicably waited for her supposed mother to appear. She was a woman wearing heavy makeup and dressed ostentatiously, smelling of cheap, pungent perfume.

But I saw her.

She took her hand and said, "Xixi, go pack your things. Mommy will take you away."

"……What's wrong?"

Qiao Xi looked at the anxious woman in front of her blankly.

"Mom has already started the divorce process with Zhan Hao. Remember, don't have anything to do with the Zhan family. Pack your things quickly!"

Under the woman's somewhat impatient urging.

She hurriedly packed her clothes and backpack, and until the moment before she left the house, Zhan Qi's door was still locked.

She was taken away by her mother without knowing it.

We were taken to a remote rental house in the town. The narrow house was a bit dirty, but basically everything we needed was ready.

The woman said a few more words to her.

I hurriedly caught the last bus out of the town and left.

Qiao Xi was still a little confused in this small rental house.

The accident happened too suddenly. Qiao Xi looked at the small amount of money left by her mother on the table, then looked at the new and unfamiliar environment. After thinking about it, she decided to pack up her things first.

The kind of life she usually leads.

It's no different from living alone, so I can get used to it.

[Host, Yan Shen has woken up and learned that you and Zhan Qi didn't show up. Then he started to attack Zhan Qi.]

The Little White Cat System took the opportunity to add a sentence.

Now Qiao Xi has parted ways with Zhan Qi. Even if Yan Shen takes action against Zhan Qi, it will not involve her even if the situation there gets bigger. After all, he is only looking for trouble with Zhan Qi.

Qiao Xi's fingertips paused, and her beautiful eyes focused lazily.

"It's just dog-eat-dog."

She didn't show any emotional fluctuations. No matter how chaotic the situation was or how difficult it was to resolve, in the end it was all their own fault.

[Do you still need to go back and show up? ]

The Little White Cat System brought up a few more screens to check the current situation. Qiao Xi carefully folded her clothes and put them away one by one.

"Of course I will."

It would be better to fight back first, take turns with them one by one, and then send them on their way.

The aftermath of this incident has not yet completely subsided.

Everyone was talking about it, speculating about what happened that day. The more Qiao Xi and Zhan Qi disappeared, the more they speculated.

There are many different opinions.

There are various versions of the story, but the most popular one is that Qiao Xi angered Yan Shen, and then Zhan Qi liked Qiao Xi, so he beat Yan Shen to protect Qiao Xi.

so.

That's why Yan Shen was later hospitalized, and Zhan Qi was punished and asked for leave. As for Qiao Xi, the beauty who caused all this, she probably didn't dare to come again because she felt guilty.

Human imagination is truly endless.

When Qiao Xi heard these rumors, she even wanted to give them a thumbs up. Every era has its share of people who make up stories and speculate about others with malice.

therefore.

The moment Qiao Xi appeared, all the noisy sounds suddenly stopped, and the world became quiet.

She returned to her place as usual.

The girl lowered her head slightly, her expression normal, and put down her bag.

I started to organize my things again.

The doubtful gazes from all around her fell on her, bright and dazzling as if they were struggling. Yu Zhi had been coming here very early recently, just to wait for Qiao Xi to come back one day.

And now.

He finally got what he wanted and waited for Qiao Xi to appear.

Shortly after the girl sat down.

He held up his cheek and reached out to casually grab the back of Qiao Xi's collar. A youthful and casual voice came from behind: "Good morning, Qiao Xi."

"good morning."

Qiao Xi turned sideways to look at him, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally looking at Yu Zhi's hand that was holding her collar.

Yu Zhi also smiled and let go.

"Yan Liang and I went to see Yan Shen. When we asked him what happened, he didn't say a word. Is it because of you?"

Straight to the point.

Without any warning, he used the simplest method, not even bothering to maintain his depression even a little bit.

Very direct.

Asked this question.

His voice was not loud, and he deliberately moved closer to Qiao Xi. The distance between the two was so close that it was ambiguous, and their conversation was known only to them.

"It has something to do with me."

The girl naturally did not hide it. She looked up at Yu Zhi's dark and playful eyes and answered seriously.

It's the same as not saying anything.

But this is a disguised admission, right?

She was able to drag Yan Shen into this situation and even let Zhan Qi fight for her. This woman seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined. He had originally thought that she was weak and cowardly, but now it seemed...

She seemed.

Not only does she have the charm that makes Yan Shen infatuated.

There is even more.

The magic that can drive the brutal side of Zhan Qi's instinct to work for her.

That's really interesting.

"You're really amazing. You eliminated Yan Shen and Zhan Qi early, leaving me as the only obstacle. So what are you going to do to me next?"

Yu Zhi hooked her collar and played with it.

But the girl slapped his hand away, with some confusion in her beautiful eyes.

What to do?

[Host, you told him before that you like Yan Liang]

A warm reminder from the Little White Cat system.

[You said Yan Liang was the only one who treated you well, but he said you were dirty and unworthy of Yan Liang, and you were still very sad]

The little black cat system next to him supplemented while watching the replay.

Qiao Xi: “…”

That's too much praise. It's not that sad. It's just a situational interpretation.

but.

She did have an impression.

She'd been going around in circles before, and it seemed like that was the case. She'd establish a character for each person, but she wouldn't specifically remember these miscellaneous little settings. They weren't important to her, so she'd just talk about them and forget about them.

Unless you meet that character.

So now we have to enter the settings.

But for a clever kid like Yu Zhi who was full of bad intentions and had a fickle mood, she decided to practice Tai Chi.

"Whatever you think."

Qiao Xi said this lightly, turned around and ignored him.

If she said one more word.

I'm afraid that the other party will make up the plot of a 100,000-word suspense novel in her mind, and come up with all kinds of conspiracy theories and premeditated murder. By then, I really don't know where to start when I want to complain.

This kind of person has a lot of thoughts.

Just leave him there to speculate on his own.

Yu Zhi looked at her back as she turned away without any reluctance, and began to think while stroking her chin with his fingertips.

Qiao Xi's attitude has also changed.

Or has she figured it out? Because she feels that she is not worthy of Yan Liang, she wants to eliminate all those who pose a threat to her.

Then.

When only Yan Liang is left and no one knows her secret, she can be with Yan Liang.

But Yan Liang is not a fool.

After all, he has had so many girlfriends, and those traces may not be recognizable at a glance, but for Yan Liang, maybe it shouldn't matter.

All he wants is victory.

As long as Qiao Xi confesses her feelings to him, he wins.

So the current situation.

No matter how you look at it, Yu Zhi is at a disadvantage. Zhan Qi's whereabouts are unknown and he can't be contacted. Yan Shen is in the hospital, and he and Yan Liang went to visit him before.

Nothing was asked.

But at least you can guess.

It was Zhan Qi who beat him, and Zhan Qi's personality made him go against Yan Shen and the rules of the game they had always followed.

There is only one motivation that can drive him.

Qiao Xi.

There was no doubt that those traces were left by Zhan Qi, and it was unknown what had happened between Qiao Xi and Yan Shen, which caused Qiao Xi to anger Yan Shen.

Then.

In order to protect Qiao Xi, Zhan Qi disobeyed Yan Shen for the first time.

The consequences of doing this.

Even Yan Shen was unhappy with Zhan Qi, so now he didn't need to abide by the agreement anymore and attacked Zhan Qi without showing any mercy.

Until now.

Zhan Qi must be in huge trouble, with all kinds of people knocking on his door and asking him to pay back the money.

There is no Yan Shen to back me up.

If the incident gets out of hand, the angry parents will come looking for him. A bunch of people reporting it will definitely attract attention, and then an investigation will be conducted, and then someone will take Zhan Qi to the police station.

therefore.

There is no news about Zhan Qi, and his whereabouts are unknown.

But you can imagine his current situation.

After things were sorted out.

This seems to make sense, right?

Yu Zhi quickly reorganized the versions of the rumors he had heard in his mind, and finally came up with a version that he thought was almost the same as the original development of the incident.

[I'm impressed. He really is good at thinking.]

The Little Black Cat System looked at the image on the virtual screen and couldn't help but sigh.

[…Can you be normal?]

The little white cat system glanced at it.

I don’t know if it’s a program error or a problem with the factory settings, but the language system of this Black Cat system always has a smell that I can’t describe.

Isn't it normal when mimicking?

The moment you open your mouth you ruin the atmosphere.

It was only when Qiao Xi was doing business that he at least understood the situation a little bit and didn't ruin the atmosphere too much.

The little black cat system is completely confused.

【That's better than you (^_)☆, right?】

How could I be like this???

As they were talking, they suddenly started arguing again. Qiao Xi's mind was not on this, and she just listened to the two systems start arguing again.

She simply escaped her consciousness back into space.

Enjoy watching the show and eating melons.

Yu Zhi, who was sitting in the back seat, thought about the purpose of Qiao Xi's actions for the whole morning. When it was noon, he saw the girl get up and prepare to go to the cafeteria for lunch, so he stopped her.

"I'll go with you."

After finishing eating the melon in the space and regaining consciousness, Qiao Xi looked up at him with a slightly puzzled look.

When I met the boy's clear and bright eyes.

She was a little surprised.

But it would be nice to have someone to eat with, and Yu Zhi hasn't openly broken up with her yet.

"Okay, let's go together."

The backs of Qiao Xi and Yu Zhi leaving together made the remaining people look at each other in confusion.

The whole morning.

Qiao Xidu did not communicate with others. They had many speculations about the rumors and many different versions spread.

even.

Some people even dared to pretend that they had accidentally dropped the note on Qiao Xi's seat.

only.

The girl ignored them completely, leaving those people in an awkward position.

Ever since Yan Shen was hospitalized, Zhan Qi hasn't come.

Now it’s basically just Yan Liang and Yu Zhi who get together, and most of the topics they talk about are related to games.

Yan Liang waited idly.

When two familiar figures appeared in his sight and walked side by side, his eyes lit up and a meaningful look flashed across them.

Qiao Xi's matter.

Of course he heard about it.

Although no one knows what means the girl used, she eliminated Yan Shen and Zhan Qi at once, leaving one of them hospitalized and the other missing.

but.

For him, this is a great thing.

When Yan Liang heard the news, he almost laughed out loud and couldn't control his ecstatic heart.

He didn't expect Qiao Xi to act so quickly.

I didn't expect that either.

Qiao Xi's lethality after being completely destroyed by the stimulation far exceeded his expectations. The results he had obtained now also exceeded his expectations.

This is the answer sheet submitted by Qiao Xi.

Even more perfect than he had expected.

Even now, Qiao Xi, who had just returned, immediately attacked Yu Zhi.

Now I can come here with Yu Zhi.

This also shows that her current target is Yu Zhi, and she has begun to take action against Yu Zhi.

When sitting down.

The girl glanced at him inadvertently, and Yan Liang immediately understood and hid the smile in the depths of his eyes.

Such an obedient little wild cat.

He really wasn't disappointed.

Qiao Xi hated these people as much as he did, and when all of them collapsed one by one, he wouldn't mind giving this little wild cat a few more sweet treats.

He was very satisfied with the girl's performance.

In conjunction with.

When Qiao Xi sat down and ordered the food, Yan Liang even moved his seat for the first time and sat next to Qiao Xi.

There was no mention of Yan Shen and Zhan Qi at all.

Just like the last time they gathered together for dinner, he picked up some food for Qiao Xi, but this time his actions were different from before.

It can be said that there is a slight ambiguity that is difficult to explain.

The familiar left and right again.

Yu Zhi next to him was the same as usual, just observing Yan Liang's actions.

After realizing that the boy's consideration for Qiao Xi was no longer as casual and perfunctory as before, his eyes became deeper and filled with unknown meanings.

Yan Liang attacked Qiao Xi?

Or does the other party think that Yan Shen and Zhan Qi have no chance, so now is a great opportunity and they want to start fighting for it?

at least.

This time the action was no longer as considerate but perfunctory as before.

Yan Liang noticed Yu Zhi's gaze over there.

When he looked over, he saw Qiao Xi in between, and the moment their eyes met, it seemed as if an invisible spark of provocation and hostility burst out.

“…”

Qiao Xi was sandwiched in the middle, eating silently with her head down.

Sometimes I really don’t understand why there can be intrigue even over a meal.
