Fang Zhi kept his eyes tightly shut, listening to the rustling sounds of changing clothes coming from not far away, and dared not move at all.
Qi Shen put on his wristwatch and straightened his navy blue tie in front of the spotless mirror.
For some reason, an image suddenly popped into his mind of a little girl standing on tiptoe to tie his tie.
He gave a slight twitch of his lips. This was a good thing; it seemed he should find some time to teach her how to tie a tie.
After tidying everything up, he turned to get his phone from the bedside table. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of Fang Zhi's thick, curled eyelashes fluttering slightly, and knew she was pretending to be asleep.
Qi Shen didn't expose her. He leaned down and lightly pecked the corner of the girl's lips with his thin lips, then pulled away.
Calloused fingertips traced the girl's trembling eyelids down to the tip of her delicate nose.
"Zhizhi, please don't go out for the time being."
"Once your brother has finished dealing with all the eyesores around you and cleaned things up, I'll personally take you out for a stroll."
The man's voice was so warm it was almost gentle, but the words he spoke carried a chilling coldness.
Fang Zhixin felt a sudden, icy drop, as if she had fallen into a freezing cellar. Did her brother mean to harm Jiang Yuze?
No matter how much she begged him last night, the man who always doted on her refused to let her go.
He repeatedly told her to stay away from men, and even not to have any same-sex friends after Liu Siyi went abroad to study.
He didn't stop until she agreed.
Fang Zhi didn't even dare to imagine what his brother might do, especially since Jiang Yuze was someone he had no connection with.
Reason and responsibility told Fang Zhi that Jiang Yu hadn't done anything wrong; he had just liked the wrong person.
If the relationship between her and her brother has become a swamp, then let her stay here.
She didn't want innocent people to be implicated.
"Brother..." Fang Zhi grabbed the arm of the man who was about to leave and sat up abruptly. "Don't go yet."
Qi Shen paused in his steps.
Slowly turning around, facing the sunlight streaming in through the window, his gold-rimmed glasses gleamed, and he said with a half-smile:
"So Zhizhi is still awake."
Fang Zhi froze, chilled by the almost icy curve of his lips, and forced back her fear, "Could you...?"
"Think carefully before you speak," Qi Shen said casually, cutting off the girl's words as he stared into her eyes.
Even with all the buttons fastened, the girl's fair, rounded shoulders and delicate collarbones were partially exposed by the loose shirt, which was covered with numerous hickeys.
How ridiculous that his girl, wearing his clothes and bearing the mark he gave her, wants to plead for another man.
"If Zhizhi pleads for others, it won't work. On the contrary, her brother will be even more unhappy, and some people will suffer even more."
Qi Shen didn't even want to utter the word "him".
Only a brief overview for adults.
He gazed at her and said, word by word, "I don't like hearing you plead for others, understand?" The man's tone remained gentle and calm, as if he were patiently explaining to her.
Under Qi Shen's unwavering gaze, Fang Zhi slowly lowered his head and said, "I understand."
"Very good." Qi Shen smiled. "Didn't you say you were still sleepy? Now lie down and rest, don't think about anything, and don't let your brother know that you're worrying about unrelated people."
After the girl lay down, he tucked the blanket around her and then turned and left.
......
Not long after the man went downstairs, he panicked, got off the bed, climbed down, and hid by the window.
As the Bentley drove out of the villa, she searched everywhere for her phone, but it wasn't in the bedroom.
right.
Fang Zhi suddenly remembered that the bag she had carried yesterday, along with the pile of dolls, had been left in the downstairs living room by her brother. The girl, barefoot, went straight downstairs without stopping.
She did not have Jiang Yuzhe's contact information.
I almost added him last time, but my brother got my phone and rejected me.
Fang Zhi knew that the first thing she could do after getting the phone was to contact Liu Siyi. As soon as the call connected, she quickly asked, "Siyi, do you have Jiang Yuze's contact information?"
Liu Siyi was taken aback, and the words of greeting she was about to say remained unspoken.
"Yes, I remember Jiang Yuzhe said he would add you, but you didn't agree?"
She clearly remembered that Zhizhi and Jiang hadn't been in much contact during the last period of their time at school, so why would Zhizhi suddenly contact her to ask about Jiang Yuzhe?
Liu Siyi was a little confused. "Did something happen between you two?"
"Siyi, can you please not ask now? I'll tell you later." Fang Zhi was almost crying with anxiety. "Go tell Jiang Yuze to stay home and not go out recently."
Fang Zhi, who usually acts with composure and gentleness, was now speaking urgently and seriously.
Liu Siyi had a gut feeling that this was a big deal.
"Okay, okay." She didn't dare to delay any longer. "Zhizhi, don't panic. I'll contact him right now."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Fang Zhi gripped his phone tightly, his fingertips turning slightly white. "You must tell him."
"Okay, I'll contact him and let you know."
After hanging up the phone, the girl slumped back onto the sofa.
Her brother made it very clear last time that she was truly afraid of making a terrible mistake if she hesitated even a little longer, and that Jiang Yu would really be crippled.
Fang Zhi closed his eyes and silently prayed while looking at his phone:
Siyi must contact Jiang Yuze. Her brother is furious right now. If Jiang Yuze can stay home for a while, her brother's anger will subside.
Everything will be alright.
-
The Jiang family.
The bedroom curtains were drawn, and the quiet room was dark. Jiang Yu was lying on the bed, fast asleep with his head covered.
The other phone screen suddenly lit up, and the buzzing music broke the silence of the bedroom. It started playing again after one round, with only a one-second pause in between.
"Holy crap!" The boy's handsome brows furrowed in the darkness. "What kind of early morning nagging is this?"
Ignoring the failure, Jiang Yu ran his fingers through his hair and sat up in bed, looking irritated.
He wanted to see who it was... Liu Siyi?!
He stared blankly at the incoming call information on the screen. Why would she suddenly contact him? Could it be related to Fang Zhi?
He instantly snapped to attention and answered the call without hesitation.
"Big brother, you finally answered the phone!" came the girl's loud voice from the other end of the line.
"I was sleeping, I didn't hear you." Jiang Yu hissed, rubbing his ears, "What's wrong?"
"Zhizhi called me suddenly this morning and asked me to tell you not to go out recently."
Jiang Yu paused, then asked, "Why?"
"I don't know either, that's all Zhizhi said."
