24. Being hugged

Half an hour later.

"Okay, done!"

In the kitchen, Xia Chi threw down the spatula and told the chef beside him, "What are you standing there for? Put the food on the plate!"

"This..." The chef next to him looked at the horrifying thing in the pot with a tingling scalp.

But there was no way. Under the boy's increasingly dissatisfied gaze, the chef still gritted his teeth and served the food.

Xia Chi held the mask tightly in disgust and stepped away.

He ordered, "Remember to throw away all the things in the kitchen and replace them with new ones tomorrow, and then clean it ten times for me, remember?"

"Okay, young master."

A moment later, the restaurant.

"Mom, can you open it and take a look?"

On the dining table, a dish that was much larger and deeper than an ordinary dish was placed in the center, and it was mysteriously covered with an exquisite lid.

Xia Chi handed Su Zhi a pair of chopsticks with both hands and looked at her with sparkling eyes, looking particularly sincere and expectant.

You don't have to guess to know that it's not a good thing.

Su Zhi was feeling dizzy and tired, so she was ready to just leave.

She told the servant, "Open it."

"Yes, ma'am."

Soon, the lid was lifted.

Thick fog came out first, mixed with a strange and foul smell.

When the thick smoke cleared, Su Zhi finally saw what was on the plate:

Unscaled rotten fish, mice, toads, lizards, cockroaches, earthworms, snails...

When the servants in the restaurant saw this, their faces changed.

Only Su Zhi watched motionlessly without saying a word.

Xia Chi curled his lips coldly: "Mom, how about this dish I made, are you satisfied?"

The program director standing by couldn't bear to watch this anymore.

Of course, they tried to persuade him, but it was of no use.

"Madam, this..."

However, just as the servant opened his mouth, he suddenly saw Su Zhi stand up from the chair and rush towards the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of vomiting was heard from the bathroom.

“Hahahaha…” Xia Chi laughed wildly.

[I can’t stand it anymore, I’m going to vomit! ]

[Xia Chi, you are such a jerk. Even if you don't like her, she is still sick. This is too much!]

[So disappointed, how could Xia Linxing, such a brilliant and bright person, raise such a naughty child? ]

[How cute it was when it was little, how come it suddenly became rotten, eh~]

[If I were Su Zhi, I would beat him up/angry/angry/]

bathroom.

Su Zhi lay on the sink, vomiting until tears came out of her eyes.

I've had no appetite and felt nauseous all day, and now I feel like vomiting bile.

She was wrong. It seemed that she was too kind to this little bastard.

In that case, there is no need for her to show mercy to his men for Xia Linxing's sake.

......

The night grows darker.

The manor villa was completely silent, and the lights were still on as usual.

The servant on duty was a little surprised to see Xia Linxing suddenly come back.

However, before they could say hello, he went straight into the elevator.

This time, Su Zhi didn't sleep well.

Hot and cold, the disgusting thing that the boy made in my mind was like a maggot on the tarsal bone that couldn't be shaken off.

Perhaps due to the illness and the stimulation of disgust, she dreamed of many things that night.

She dreamed of the scene when she insisted on finding a job and her father wanted to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her.

She dreamed of stepping onto the court for the first time to compete, and being loudly questioned in front of tens of thousands of people, saying that she had gotten the starting position through the backdoor.

She dreamed of her first World Championship, where she could have won the title, but she missed out on the title because of match-fixing by her teammates, and was subsequently banned for three years.

Then he dreamed that he finally returned to the game three years later and led his new team to win the championship, but in the end he died unexpectedly on the world championship podium.

None of this mattered, she knew she was dreaming, and she couldn't help but curse in her dream what a fucked up life she had.

Until the very end, she dreamed of the scene in the funeral home where her parents were kneeling in front of her body.

The mother who always spoke harshly to her and never smiled, at that moment lowered her head deeply, lay on her cold body, and cried heart-wrenchingly.

The father, who had been gentle all his life but who only saw her as his mother and not as his daughter at all, held her cold cheeks and kept calling her name in despair.

At this moment, sadness suddenly came like a tide and drowned Su Zhi in an instant.

Finally she couldn't help herself and cried sadly in her dream.

She didn't know how long she had been crying until later, when she felt something warm hugging her.

The tears seemed to be wiped away, and a soft and pleasant comforting voice came to my ears.

At this moment, all the complicated dreams were dispelled by this voice.

In the dim light, she slowly opened her eyes.

It's dark and quiet.

But there was a clear and pleasant smell coming from the breath, like winter agarwood soaked in frost and snow.

Also, the sound of the heartbeat is exceptionally clear.

Close to her ear, one sound after another, accompanied by warm and solid power.

Familiar feeling.

She seemed... to be hugged by that man again.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Awake?" A low magnetic voice came from above. Su Zhi raised her head slightly, but the tip of her nose only touched the protruding Adam's apple.

She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to step back.

However, as soon as he moved, the force around his waist tightened.

In an instant, both sides of my waist were gently pinched by warm force.

The curtains of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows were not completely closed, and the silver moon was soft, with the hazy light and shadows swaying slightly.

By the time she reacted, she had been picked up from lying on her side to lying face down, tightly pressed against a strong chest.

Then, easily, she was face to face with a face.

A face whose outlines are still three-dimensional and clear in the dim light.

The atmosphere was silent and peaceful.

Su Zhi couldn't see clearly, but she could feel that she was being stared at closely.

"Kitten..."

A low, magnetic voice suddenly sounded, and it was clearly a questioning tone, but it sounded like a gentle coaxing, "Why are you crying again?"

Su Zhi felt as if he had just been pulled out of the water. He was hot, dizzy, and had no strength.

She climbed onto his broad shoulders with both hands, but finally couldn't hold on any longer. She exhaled a hot breath and leaned weakly on the crook of his neck.

"I wasn't crying, that was just sweat." She whispered, trying to cover up her mistake.

It was so embarrassing. She was God K. The first time she cried in front of him was an accident. Of course, the biggest responsibility still lay with him.

She swore that such a scene would never happen again.

But this oath seems to be broken now.

That’s not right either.

As long as she doesn't admit it, it doesn't count.

"Really?"

"Um."

The hair that was wet with tears and stuck to my cheeks was suddenly brushed away gently.

However, it did not stop.

After a moment, the end of the eye was suddenly gently pressed, and the small water droplet hanging at the end that was about to fall was easily crushed.

"What is this?"

He seemed to chuckle, "Little Pearl?"

Su Zhi: ………
