Chapter 98 Keep Your Distance "How could I be so bad?"...
"I'm on the phone."
Chi Liuai held up the phone, trying hard to appear natural, then stuffed the phone into his sleeve and shook his hand to hide it.
It seemed as if he was telling Meng Yuzhi that it was normal to keep dialing a number that would never go through late at night.
Instead, it was Meng Yuzhi who appeared behind him, which hurt Chi Liuai's sensitive nerves again.
This is a sign of distrust.
After her eyes met Meng Yuzhi's briefly, she almost bumped into Meng Yuzhi's arms, who didn't want to let the matter go.
The night was a little chilly, and Chi Liuai was wearing thin clothes. Meng Yuzhi lowered his eyes to look at Chi Liuai, and put the coat that was draped over his arm over her shoulders. When he reached out his hand, Chi Liuai dodged.
It was a guilty gesture of shielding the phone behind one's back.
Meng Yuzhi remained calm and after making sure Chi Liuai wouldn't catch a cold, he reached out his hand.
"Take it out."
Chi Liuai raised his head and looked at Meng Yuzhi.
"But everyone else has it, but I don't."
Meng Yuzhi said calmly, "You will meet him at the wedding. Don't miss this opportunity again."
Chi Liuai was suddenly irritated by Meng Yuzhi's uncompromising indifference, and her little face, which was trying to remain calm, turned red instantly. She would never be able to understand Meng Yuzhi. It was as if he would die if she said a word to her brother. He treated her like an enemy, monitoring her, guarding against her, and suspecting her.
Even if she had sworn, Meng Yuzhi would not believe herself.
Chi Liuai admitted that the relationship between her and her brother was not too pure, but everyone makes mistakes sometimes, not to mention that she had not made any mistakes yet, she just hurt Meng Yuzhi's lofty self-esteem.
So he tied himself to his side just for revenge.
He also deliberately used gentle means and tricks full of money and luxury to turn himself into a vassal.
He didn't even buy her a cell phone.
Don't buy her a cell phone! Don't allow her to watch TV or go online!
Meng Yuzhi got his cell phone back, and Chi Liuai lost the right to live alone. Her room was locked by Meng Yuzhi, and she now had the right to sleep only in Meng Yuzhi's bed. Chi Liuai buried herself in the quilt in humiliation, tears falling into her palms, and began to whimper.
He kept repeating it in his mouth.
Why do others have it but I don’t?
Such resentment towards Meng Yuzhi's harsh treatment.
Meng Yuzhi turned off the desk lamp, and Chi Liuai also turned off the light. When the man's shadow pressed down, Chi Liuai fought back angrily, kicking the quilt to prevent Meng Yuzhi from getting close to her. In fact, he just turned off the light, but the woody scent and rustling sound of friction really stimulated Chi Liuai.
Chi Liuai kicked Meng Yuzhi, but ended up pushing himself upwards.
bump--
The crisp sound of collision made both of them quiet down.
Chi Liuai struggled but failed to shake Meng Yuzhi at all, letting Meng Yuzhi suffer the retribution he deserved. She actually bumped into the corner of the table. Her mind went blank before the severe pain, and she didn't feel any pain at first. Suddenly, in her blurred vision, she slowly became aware of Meng Yuzhi's worry, which could no longer be concealed. His eyes were mixed with care and heartache, and his gentle palm had already supported her head.
Instantly, Chi Liuai's tears burst out.
Feeling very aggrieved, she looked at Meng Yuzhi in disbelief and said, "You actually pushed me. You bully me. I hate you. You pushed me. It really hurts."
Perhaps it was because Chi Liuai cried too much and was overwhelmed by the anger just now, coupled with the slight collision, her spirit was exhausted by the repeated stimulation, and Chi Liuai felt like she was about to faint.
But she still felt that Meng Yuzhi, who half-knelt beside her to apply medicine, then held her in his arms, walked back and forth to apologize and make several promises, was very insincere.
"Give me back my phone." Chi Liuai said with a stern face.
The private doctor found it a little hard to believe that Mr. Meng actually controlled his wife from playing with her cell phone, and gave Chi Liuai a curious look.
Even if Meng Yuzhi gave people something to talk about, the spearhead, like a doctor's gaze, would always be directed at Chi Liuai.
Chi Liuai felt from the doctors' attitude that they must have misunderstood him.
He was still rubbing the back of his injured head, and spoke clearly to the doctors and assistants around him, word by word.
"This was done by Meng Yuzhi."
When saying this, she put her chin on Meng Yuzhi's shoulder as usual, looking thin and pitiful, but her feelings were not bad enough to the point of violence. Meng Yuzhi had a gentle smile in his eyes, and he slightly tilted his chin and rubbed Chi Liuai's cheek.
"I'm sorry." Meng Yuzhi replied.
Chi Liuai felt that Meng Yuzhi had immersed him in the scent of leather and wood. The pain in the back of his head, which hadn't hurt as much, was becoming increasingly severe. Chi Liuai buried himself in Meng Yuzhi's shoulders and neck.
"I don't want to talk to Meng Yuzhi."
Chi Liuai said with his dizzy head and the pitiful look he placed everywhere, "Because my head hurts so much, it must be because the collision just now was too painful."
Meng Yuzhi felt that Chi Liuai should be preserved, placed in his private museum, with the inscription "A spoiled child." It seemed only in this way could everyone be allowed the opportunity to admire Chi Liuai. This was the sense of security brought about by the glass window separating the treasure and the subconscious belief that Chi Liuai was expensive.
"Okay, then please tell me how to forgive Meng Yuzhi." Meng Yuzhi felt Chi Liuai's tears rubbing against his neck. In this situation, Meng Yuzhi couldn't be heartless. "I will tell him."
Chi Liuai raised her eyes stubbornly. She was sensible and understood that at this time, she should not only capture the man's conscience, but also try to whet his appetite. Chi Liuai rested her head on Meng Yuzhi's chin and cried pitifully.
"Honey, I want to play with my phone."
Meng Yuzhi kept staring at Chi Liuai without saying a word.
It seemed as if calling out this name had exhausted Chi Liuai's dignity. Meng Yuzhi's failure to respond in time was enough to make Chi Liuai extremely disappointed. She even felt extremely insignificant because of the condescending angle from which Meng Yuzhi looked at her.
Chi Liuai broke free from Meng Yuzhi's arms. Meng Yuzhi was afraid that the tragedy would happen again, so he put her down safely on the ground.
This happened to give Chi Liuai an excuse. She looked at Meng Yuzhi with a look that said "You pushed me away without mercy", tormented Meng Yuzhi like she was throwing a tantrum, turned around, and walked away from him without looking back.
Meng Yuzhi called her name.
After all, I've raised her until now, and I know her temper. Chi Liuai wasn't tormenting Meng Yuzhi, she was bullying me. If she was so bitter and unbearable that she cried all the time because of some trivial matter, everyone would feel sorry for this sensitive and straightforward child.
Meng Yuzhi walked forward with steady steps. Chi Liuai was chased to the restaurant island, where he suddenly stopped and fell silent.
The glass window was blurred by the turbid rain water. Chi Liuai could not see the dark night, but only felt the unusually piercing sound of the wind, as if he was back to the day when Lin Zhun said goodbye.
Meng Yuzhi seemed to compromise and asked, "You're calling your brother, right?"
Chi Liuai nodded and choked.
Maybe because she looked very obedient when she admitted it, Meng Yuzhi still asked in a gentle tone.
"He left you behind, but Liuai still contacted him. Why?"
Meng Yuzhi's dignity seemed to not allow him to ask Chi Liuai whether she loved Lin Zhun, but she could not leave a bad guy named Meng Yuzhi, so she had an unsatisfactory life and was blindly pursuing happiness.
Chi Liuai looked at Meng Yuzhi, lowered his head and said nothing.
Meng Yuzhi walked closer.
"Because you don't hate him?"
Even if I abandon you, I won't hate you. Why? Meng Yuzhi, who prides himself on being smart, attributed the answer to love and family affection early on. Both can hurt Meng Yuzhi.
Chi Liuai raised his head slightly, as if he was talking about something normal, and his expression was a little puzzling, which was enough for Meng Yuzhi to know that this was Chi Liuai's true words.
"Because you're so nice to me."
Even though Chi Liuai expressed her hatred, she knew that all of Meng Yuzhi's tyranny that hurt her came from the perspective of a father figure who had been absent for a long time.
She was not satisfied with the Chi family's attitude towards her, so Chi Liuai would slightly resent Lin Jun's self-willed behavior on some nights.
But it seems that when he was with Meng Yuzhi, Chi Liuai never resented Lin Zhun for abandoning him, including now.
Perhaps Chi Liuai, who is more sensitive than ordinary people, can feel the feelings hidden beneath Meng Yuzhi's sincerity.
Even though she never pursued the truth.
Meng Yuzhi was already very close to Chi Liuai. He wanted to hug Chi Liuai, but he did not move.
If I hold her in my arms, I won't be able to see clearly into her eyes.
Only by keeping a distance can you see the true heart.
The sound of rain outside the house was very loud, and Meng Yuzhi's voice was still very clear in it, but his tone was not as gentle as usual.
"Liuai, you're very kind. So, please continue to tell me why you want to contact him, okay?"
Meng Yuzhi's stubbornness in this regard is hard to understand.
Whether Chi Liuai hates Lin Zhun or not is illusory, and whether she loves him or not is unrealistic and will change. The only unshakable truth is who Chi Liuai will live with.
Chi Liuai's vision was blurry, and he paced in front of the dining table a little impatiently, then looked at the branches swaying outside the window, and the wind and rain were pressing in.
Meng Yuzhi stood outside the window, blocking the rain, so Chi Liuai could not see the night outside the pouring rain.
Suddenly, his hand pressed on the sandalwood table, and his fingers curled up.
This was the first time Meng Yuzhi saw Chi Liuai cry like this. In the past, Chi Liuai's crying would be even more exaggerated than the sadness in her heart. If possible, she would make an important speech about her sadness and inform the whole world.
This time, Chi Liuai's crying was pressed against her chest, a sob that hit her lungs with endurance and could not escape from her mouth.
Chi Liuai paced helplessly in front of the dining table, stamping his feet.
Then he looked at Meng Yuzhi and said.
"Because on the day my brother passed away, I threw away the meal he prepared for me. I didn't eat it, and I got angry at him and told him I never wanted to see him again."
“I didn’t eat his cooking.”
"I threw the note away."
"I also told him that I didn't want to see him."
"How could I be so bad?"
The tears that Chi Liuai had been accumulating for several months finally flowed out.
