"Apologize?"
Su Liang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked indifferently at the weak and beautiful boy in front of him.
Ning Jiayi, who has entered the pre-differentiation stage, now has some of the aura of an Omega. However, compared with the future, Ning Jiayi now seems to be indeed troubled by pheromone confusion, and his delicate and beautiful face shows a strong sense of illness.
Coupled with the uncontrollable cough in his throat, he looked even more slender, as if a gust of wind could blow him down in an instant.
Su Liang could already sense the scrutiny of many passers-by casting upon him and Ning Jiayi.
This made Su Liang feel a little irritated.
"A Zhao told me that you thought I destroyed your things on purpose that day," Ning Jiayi pursed his lips, his voice trembling, "I think there must be a misunderstanding between us! Brother Su Liang, I... ahem... I really didn't mean it. You are a beta, you may not know that the body is really burdened before transforming into an Omega. I have been dizzy these days, and I really didn't pay any attention to the wrapping paper of the box and the card inside. At that time, I just wanted that child not to cry."
As he spoke, Ning Jiayi's eyes began to turn slightly red.
"Brother Su Liang, please forgive me, I never thought of targeting you. I actually like being with you."
"oh."
Su Liang responded vaguely.
He looked at the personal terminal in his hand and checked the time.
Ning Jiayi seemed to have not noticed Su Liang's actions at all. He sniffed and then made a gesture.
The driver of the luxury hovercraft immediately opened the trunk of the car and took out a beautifully packaged box.
Su Liang took a glance and through the transparent protective cover, he could clearly see that the model placed inside was the one he had given to Lu Zhizhao before - no, if you look closely, the model in this box is only similar in appearance to the one Su Liang bought, but the details are much more exquisite, and the color levels are also richer.
Ning Jiayi clapped his hands, and the driver handed the box to Su Liang.
"Brother Su Liang, I'll give you the model as compensation. Please stop losing your temper, okay?"
Behind the driver, Ning Jiayi spoke pitifully to Su Liang.
"This model is a prototype made by Master Jia Shi himself. Look, there is his signature on the base!" Ning Jiayi blinked and added eagerly, "This is the only handmade product in the world! It is extremely precious. I fought for it for a long time before I bought it from another collector. If you give this to A Zhao, he will be so happy! Please, Brother Su Liang, don't be angry--"
Before Ning Jiayi finished speaking, Su Liang had already taken the box from the driver.
Even Ning Jiayi couldn't help but get stuck at this moment.
There was a hint of surprise in those watery eyes.
He really didn't expect Su Liang to accept this model, and he didn't expect Su Liang to look at him expressionlessly and calmly, and then said:
"Okay, I forgive you."
"That's great."
Ning Jiayi responded dryly.
...In fact, if it was Su Liang in the previous life, he would probably forgive the "willful and clumsy" young master of the Ning family with a truly gentle smile.
At least, he wouldn't accept a model made by a famous artist so easily.
Ning Jiayi did not lie about some things. The models handmade by masters have always been in short supply, otherwise even mass-produced products would not become limited edition products.
This is indeed an exceptionally expensive apology gift. It was indeed something that Su Liang would never accept no matter what. In his previous life, Su Liang had always been an outlier among the numerous young masters and young ladies in the Lu family. He had a very gentle personality, but his self-esteem was damn high.
He would not touch anything that belonged to the Lu family that was too expensive or too luxurious. Otherwise, as the younger brother of Mrs. Lu Su Nuan, he would not have to work part-time during his spare time in college. Of course, the gift for Lu Zhizhao wouldn't be that difficult for him to buy.
"Okay, you can go now."
After Su Liang took the model, he casually tucked the model box under his arm and was about to turn around.
Ning Jiayi opened his eyes wide involuntarily, and subconsciously, he tried to stop Su Liang.
"Brother Su Liang, you——"
Su Liang suddenly dodged, avoiding Ning Jiayi's hand that was reaching out to him in a very abrupt manner.
"You haven't calmed down yet."
Ning Jiayi became even more frightened when he saw Su Liang's movements as if he was avoiding a cockroach.
Su Liang turned around and looked at Ning Jiayi.
He couldn't help but think of the face at the wedding on the TV screen.
In fact, even he himself found it a little unbelievable. In fact, until now, he did not have any strong resentment towards the other protagonist of the wedding, even though the other party directly snatched Lu Zhizhao away.
But that doesn't mean he knows nothing.
In the previous life, after Lu Zhizhao left, the Lu family had actually withdrawn all restrictions and oppression on Su Liang.
However, Su Liang's assets and files, which were briefly recovered, were soon frozen again.
Moreover, it is sealed more tightly, more carefully and without any reason than before.
In addition, Su Liang inexplicably had a lot of bizarre credit black spots and accusations.
If it weren't for those unexplainable criminal records, Su Liang wouldn't have been unable to get even the most basic medical care in the end.
It was not until he arrived at Area 48, the garbage dump considered to be hell on earth, that Su Liang learned by chance that he was in such a miserable state because he had offended the "Ning Family".
When thinking about the final marriage between the Lu and Ning families, many things become especially clear.
What's more... after Lu Zhizhao left, Su Liang had thought over and over again countless times why that person never came back.
Unless you are a fool, you can detect Ning Jiayi's poorly concealed malice and disgust in such recollections.
Living his life over again, Su Liang was already grateful enough that his sister was still alive and that he had a second chance. He did not have too much energy and emotions to struggle, feel pain, or hate.
Ning Jiayi hates Su Liang.
It just so happened that in this life, Su Liang didn’t want to see Ning Jiayi very much.
"I remember you have always been receiving tutoring in the Lu family?"
Su Liang shook off Ning Jiayi's hand. The latter's palm was wet and cold, like a snake that had just emerged from a hole.
Ning Jiayi seemed to have no idea why the two of them suddenly turned to such an irrelevant topic.
"Ah, yes, I'm not feeling well, so..."
Ning Jiayi said timidly.
"No wonder." Su Liang raised his hand and showed Ning Jiayi the timetable on his personal terminal. "Master Ning, I'm really sorry. I'm just an ordinary student. If we ordinary people are late for class, we will be called out by the teacher."
Ning Jiayi's face turned a little ugly.
The Xingchuan University that Su Liang attended was the best university in the entire Earth Federation, and anyone who could enter it was the most gifted of all.
In comparison, Ning Jiayi's Lu family private tutoring is indeed a bit embarrassing.
The delicate and pitiful expression on Ning Jiayi's face disappeared for a moment, and he couldn't help but glare at Su Liang fiercely.
Su Liang was also looking at him.
It was not until this moment that Ning Jiayi was shocked to realize that Su Liang could actually look at him so coldly.
"You delayed my class, Master Ning."
Su Liang smiled faintly, glanced at Ning Jiayi, and then he spoke word by word.
Ning Jiayi naturally did not miss the dark malice and ridicule in Su Liang's eyes at that moment.
Just like the thorns on the reed grass, they are usually thin and insignificant, but once they penetrate the skin, the slight itch can make people feel restless and unbearable.
"What did you say?!"
Ning Jiayi subconsciously wanted to stop Su Liang, but Su Liang's movements were much faster than Ning Jiayi's.
Even though he was holding such a large and valuable model, Su Liang still ran as fast as a wild deer in the forest.
After a few steps, his figure disappeared into the distance.
"Master, do you want to catch up?"
The driver from the Ning family bowed slightly and asked respectfully in Ning Jiayi's ear.
“…”
After a moment of silence, Ning Jiayi turned around with a gloomy face and sat back in the car.
"Need not."
He said, looking extremely grim.
Almost at the same time he got into the car, his personal terminal vibrated.
It was Lu Zhizhao who answered the call.
Ning Jiayi lowered his eyes and stared at the message, then he closed his eyes.
And when he opened his eyes again, the pitiful, weak boy who appeared in front of Su Liang, like a trembling little white flower, appeared again on the other end of the communication.
"Jiayi! Where have you been?! Your treatment in the treatment chamber this morning hasn't finished yet, why aren't you in the hospital?!"
Lu Zhizhao's anxious and tense face appeared on the channel.
He glared at Ning Jiayi sternly, and soon discovered that Ning Jiayi was actually in the hovercraft: "Don't tell me you really ran away! Do you still want your body?"
Lu Zhizhao's voice rose again.
"I... ahem... I..."
Ning Jiayi sniffed and tried hard to force a smile towards Lu Zhizhao that looked uglier than crying.
"I didn't mean to make you worry. I just wanted to come and apologize to Brother Su Liang."
“…”
Lu Zhizhao was speechless for a moment.
After a long pause, Lu Zhizhao continued to speak, but his voice became much drier.
"You can go find Su Liang after the treatment is over. Why are you sneaking out without even doing any treatment?"
"But you also said that Brother Su Liang was really angry, and he thought I was targeting him... How could I still lie quietly in the treatment chamber and receive treatment?! Ah Zhao, you also know that you and Brother Su Liang are my best friends in the Lu family, and I don't want to lose either of you."
"Can--"
"You go and apologize for me. Brother Su Liang is already angry. Of course I have to go find him myself, but..."
As Ning Jiayi was speaking, a second-level message was suddenly inserted into the terminal.
Ning Jiayi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, his gaze slightly fixed, and his expression froze for a moment.
Lu Zhizhao immediately noticed that something was wrong with Ning Jiayi, and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Jiayi, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Jiayi lowered his eyelashes to hide all the emotions in his eyes, but the panic in his voice became more and more intense.
"I, I came to apologize. I specially gave Brother Su Liang a signed model handmade by a master. Brother Su Liang also accepted my apology. I, I thought he really forgave me, but... but... I just found out that he seemed to have sold it immediately."
Because Ning Jiayi had specifically searched for information about the model before, and this was not an ordinary model, once the sales information appeared on Star Network, the intelligent system automatically pushed it to Ning Jiayi.
There were already some tears in Ning Jiayi's eyes.
"A Zhao, I don't know what to do. I don't know what Brother Su Liang wants me to do. I have really tried very hard to apologize, but he seems unwilling to forgive me no matter what. He must still be angry with me for doing this."
"You think too much."
Lu Zhizhao's decisive voice came from the other end of the communicator.
"Xiao Liang is not that kind of person. He is a simple person without any ulterior motives. If he accepted your compensation, it means that he has accepted your apology. As for him selling that thing, it should be purely because the master-made model is too flashy. After all, I am the only one who likes the model. You want to apologize to him, why did you give him the model? He probably didn't feel comfortable telling you directly, so he did this. Don't think too much."
Ning Jiayi lowered his head. In a place where the communication camera could not reach, the boy's fists were clenched white.
"Is that really the case? That would make me feel relieved."
Ning Jiayi raised his head and forced a smile.
Lu Zhizhao said: "Only someone like Xiaoliang would be so considerate. If it were someone else, they would probably be even angrier..."
Ning Jiayi's body suddenly swayed slightly. He bit his lips and his breathing became noticeably rapid.
He pressed his chest with one hand, panting, and interrupted Lu Zhizhao's endless praise of Su Liang with difficulty: "A Zhao, I'm sorry, I... I can't breathe."
After saying that, he suddenly fell towards his seat.
"Jia Yi——" Lu Zhizhao shouted in panic. But this time, Ning Jiayi did not respond to him.
Ning Jiayi fainted due to physical discomfort.
