Chapter 35 Men will be depressed.
"Why do you sound unhappy?"
"You heard me wrong. I feel very good."
Xia Mi quickened her pace and returned home.
Huo Jingchen parked the car and when he entered the house, Xia Mi had just washed her hands and passed by him.
He reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist.
"Just say what you want to say. Who made you unhappy?" The man's hand fell on his waist, lifted Xia Mi's chin, and forced her to look at him.
There was a flash of hesitation in Xia Mi's eyes as she met the man's sharp, probing eyes.
"Let go." Xia Mi slapped his hand away and said directly, "You seem to have never told me about your family."
"You never asked."
After finding the reason, Huo Jingchen's affectionate eyes curved and the smile at the corners of his lips became more and more obvious.
I thought it was no big deal.
Xia Mi turned away and said, "I didn't think much about it, but if you had told me clearly at the beginning, I would definitely not agree to marry you."
Fortunately, Li Jiajia was a talkative girl, and I managed to get the news from her that Huo Jingchen's father worked in the Ministry of Defense.
After knowing this, Xia Mi regretted it a thousand times. Wasn't this equivalent to jumping from one fire pit to another?
Li Jiajia also comforted her that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but how can this be the same? The difference between her and Huo Jingchen's status is like heaven and earth.
Huo Jingchen's smile faded a little, replaced by confusion and anger.
"You are so Buddhist that you regard power and money as dirt? If I knew you didn't want to marry me, I would definitely tell everyone to shut up, especially those with the surname Jing and Li Jiajia."
Xia Mi was surprised by his words and wondered what he saw in her.
Huo Jingchen stared at her, his eyes sharp, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with what she had just said.
The man's oppressive feeling turned into a chill that went up his spine.
She hesitated and asked, "What is it about me that you like?"
"Didn't I tell you that I have a short life and I need you to put pressure on me."
Xia Mi frowned slightly, thinking that this reason was too ridiculous, and wanted to ask more questions.
Huo Jingchen's face suddenly moved closer and closer to her, until his slightly cold lips pressed against hers.
The strong and domineering force didn't give her the chance to ask any more questions. She reached out and hit the man, but was easily punished. The hand around her waist began to exert force, and she was held tightly in his arms.
Xia Mi couldn't breathe, her brain gradually lost control, and she let out a moan in pain.
Huo Jingchen suddenly came back to his senses, lust surging in the man's eyes, wanting to drag him down.
After a while, Huo Jingchen let go of her. Xia Mi's legs were weak and she almost slipped. He grabbed her with his big hand and let her lean against his chest. His voice was low and annoying, "Men will become bad if they hold it back."
Xia Mi raised her face, her curled eyelashes trembling slightly, and her watery eyes stared at her.
The look in her eyes inexplicably gave rise to a desire to abuse her in Huo Jingchen's heart, and he wanted to completely possess her.
Xia Mi's face was burning and her ears were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.
"You haven't answered my question directly."
She inexplicably thought of how she had said in front of Jing Xiaoran that she didn't love Huo Jingchen, but when she came back she was bewitched by the man's arousing appearance.
Xia Mi was in mixed feelings and wanted to cry but had no tears.
Huo Jingchen picked her up by the waist and said, "I said, can you tell me why you agreed to marry me?"
Xia Mi was speechless. She felt guilty that her starting point was wrong. At first she wanted to take advantage of Huo Jingchen's family, but she didn't expect to be so lucky.
But this is too good, too good...
"Let's eat. I'm hungry." Xia Mi silently changed the subject. -Late at night, Xia Mi lay on the bed, staring at the window with her beautiful eyes. The moonlight shone into the room through the thin curtains.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xia Mi's back stiffened, "How do you know I didn't sleep?"
"If you move again, you will roll off the bed. You can sleep on the floor if you like. I respect your hobby, but please leave some quilt for me."
Xia Mi quickly turned over, but found it difficult to do so, and then she noticed that she had been rolled up like a caterpillar.
The person next to him had a resentful look in his eyes. In the darkness, the man's dark pupils were gradually eroded by the night, and the emotions on his face were difficult to discern.
She quickly gave up the quilt and said, "Sorry, I didn't notice."
The quilt carried Xia Mi's body temperature and fragrance. Huo Jingchen remembered that she seemed to always apply something fragrant after taking a bath.
"What did Jing Xiaoran say that made you so excited that you couldn't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Xia Mi was speechless. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, the next second the man embraced her.
"You telling me about it makes me excited. I've been away from home for too long. She might know more about my family than I do. Let's see if I can get so excited that I can't sleep in the middle of the night."
"Which eye of yours saw my excitement? I just couldn't sleep on my first day at work."
Her tone was extremely helpless. She was used to his dominance and skillfully found a comfortable angle to lie down.
Xia Mi couldn't stand it any longer and put her hands on his waist.
"Please don't speculate too much about me, thank you." She emphasized the last two words.
Xia Mi looked at Huo Jingchen, "Why did you come to Zhuifeng Island? Will you be exiled if you do something wrong?"
"What age do you use the word exile? I didn't realize that you are older than my grandmother. If I did something wrong, I would not be sent to Wind Chasing Island."
"Where should we go then?"
"Court-martial."
“…”
Seeing her dazed expression, Huo Jingchen laughed in a low voice, his chest vibrating, and Xia Mi's face fell.
Xia Mi's blood started boiling all of a sudden, and she said in a muffled voice, "Let's go to sleep. If I don't sleep, my blood pressure will go off the charts."
Huo Jingchen agreed.
No more than three minutes later, Xia Mi poked her head out and said, "You haven't answered my question directly."
Huo Jingchen spoke slowly, "I came here because there are no annoying flies. I came to Zhuifeng Island just for myself, not for others. Don't listen to other people's nonsense."
"Then will you go back?" Xia Mi answered obediently.
There was a long silence on the other side.
"Perhaps..."
Xia Mi pulled the quilt and stopped asking questions, "Go to bed. I will start formal classes from tomorrow."
Huo Jingchen sighed silently, his eyes suppressing emotions in the darkness. -The next morning, Zhuifeng Primary School started classes at 8 a.m., and Xia Mi was in the classroom preparing lessons at 7:30 a.m.
Yan Yiming was the only one in the office.
Xia Mi put her bag down and sat down, with no intention of saying hello.
"Xia Mi."
Xia Mi's eyes froze, and she didn't even look at Yan Yiming. "What's the matter?"
"Why did you tell Li Jiajia those things, just because I leaked your identity in the first place?"
Just because? Xia Mi chuckled. These three words sounded so light and fluffy.
"Didn't you also report the news of my marriage back to the Xia family?"
Yan Yiming fixed his eyes on Xia Mi, his glare was as sharp as a torch, and he wished he could stare a hole in her back.
Seeing that no one spoke, Xia Mi was sure that her guess was correct.
She said that the Xia family had no more contact with the original owner in the book, so why would they take the initiative to visit her on an island with harsh conditions? Yan Yiming lowered his eyes with guilt, "I was just afraid that Uncle Xia and the others were worried that you still couldn't contact you, so I mentioned it to my parents once or twice."
"Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue tangled when you say this? Yan Yiming, revenge is revenge, why do you have to be such a hypocrite?"
Xia Mi closed the book, her disgust for Yan Yiming written all over her face, and she didn't bother to pretend at all.
It has started to be recommended on the paid list, so kids who have added it to their bookshelf must read it!
(By the way, I'm asking for votes.) I'll update one chapter first to see if it will be blocked by the review, and then I'll post the second chapter after it's fixed. I'm worried but QAQ (End of this chapter)
