Yan Zixiu finished speaking, but Jing Shaoci did not respond for a long time.

Although he had expected this situation, he still lowered his eyes in disappointment.

After an unknown amount of time, Jing Shaoci called his name.

"Yan Zixiu."

Jing Shaoci's eyes were filled with grief and sorrow, and even his voice was trembling.

"If I killed your master and uncle with my own hands, and slaughtered all of you in Tianfeng Temple, and even became violent and ruthless in order to ascend the throne, and lost

all conscience." He lowered his head and looked at Yan Zixiu, "If it were you, would you forgive me because of your love for me?"

Yan Zixiu's eyes suddenly turned red, but he still looked at him firmly and said, "No, I will kill you with my own hands."

In his previous life, Jing Shaoci made the same choice.

After the army captured Shangjing City, the enemy took him to kowtow in front of the tombs of loyal ministers and generals for a whole day and night.

He kowtowed until his knees were broken and his face was bloody. Then he broke his waist, crushed his ten fingers, and ordered people to hang him on the city wall.

Under the hateful gazes of everyone, Jing Shaoci personally drew his bow and shot three arrows through his heart.

But before he died, Yan Zixiu had a smile on his lips.

Because his sweetheart could finally sit firmly on the throne of the Lord of the World.

And the people of the world finally had a wise ruler.

Hearing his answer, Jing Shaoci smiled extremely sadly, "I am a living person just like you. I can't bear to see your hands stained with blood, and then hand you a handkerchief to keep your hands from getting dirty."

Yan Zixiu's body trembled, and he closed his eyes with a heart full of sorrow.

"What I said to you in the hospital two years ago was not to vent my anger."

Tears rolled down Jing Shaoci's eyes, and his tone was full of despair.

"I hate you deeply, but I hate myself more for not being able to stop loving you."

"So I asked you to let me go. That sentence was not to make you suffer, but to beg you."

His voice was choked with uncontrollable sobs, "Because there will be no result between us, it is better not to see each other again instead of torturing each other."

After the voice fell, Yan Zixiu opened his eyes and looked at him.

He opened his lips and said slowly and firmly: "Jing Shaoci, I know you don't want to see me again, but from the moment I became a Heavenly Master, I have sworn to you in my heart." He

raised the corners of his lips, but his eyes were full of sadness and misery, "No matter whether it is eternal damnation or grinding bones to dust, I will do my best to love you and protect you, and never change until death."

*****

Jing Fengyi and Xie Wanxin deliberately got up very late the next day, but they didn't expect that as soon as they went downstairs, they were told by the housekeeper that the second young master had left early in the morning.

The couple felt helpless and lost, but they really didn't know what to do.

Yan Zixiu just returned home in the morning and saw Duan Shaoheng packing things.

"Master."

The other party walked up to him with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you during this period. My agent has already found a house, and I will move out today."

With Jing Shaoci's identity, it is easy to check his background.

Rather than being exposed by the master in person, it is better to retreat and advance, at least it will not leave the impression of entanglement with the other party.

Hearing this, Yan Zixiu said coldly: "Yes." Duan

Shaoheng approached slightly and said in a coquettish tone: "Master, can I come to learn talisman magic from you in the future?"

Yan Zixiu nodded, "Yes."

The corners of his lips rose instantly, and he said happily: "Thank you, Master!"

Not long after, Duan Shaoheng's agent came with an assistant.

After moving the luggage, the agent thanked Yan Zixiu nervously.

Before leaving, he called Duan Shaoheng and gave him a sachet.

"If you encounter something you can't escape, you can use this to call me for help." Yan Zixiu said, emphasizing, "Only this once."

He returned the favor of the Changshengdeng.

After Duan Shaoheng took it, he put it directly into his closest pocket.

He didn't thank him as usual, but lowered his voice and said, "Master, I will miss you."

After saying that, Duan Shaoheng turned around and left without waiting for Yan Zixiu's response.

Another half month passed in the blink of an eye. After returning from his honeymoon, Li Fengzhi went to Yan Zixiu's home.

"Zixiu, this is a gift for you."

Yan Zixiu took the box, "Thank you."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, then sat down and started talking about work.

"Xiao Liu and the others are very dedicated to their work, and there haven't been any mistakes during this period."

After saying this, Li Fengzhi pursed his lips slightly, and then asked tentatively: "Zixiu, that Duan Shaoheng..." Yan

Zixiu understood what he wanted to ask, so he said: "I owe his master a favor, so I'm taking care of him on his behalf."

Li Fengzhi instantly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said: "That's good."

Apart from a few familiar people, he had never seen Zixiu treat anyone differently. At that time, he felt that there must be something hidden, but Gu Shi was also very nervous about Jing Shaoci, and urged him to ask as soon as he came back.

Li Fengzhi originally wanted to ask about his situation with Jing Shaoci, but seeing that Yan Zixiu looked unhappy, he didn't open his mouth.

"Director Liu Chenyu is planning a new movie. The audition invitation has been sent to my phone a long time ago. In addition, "Mountain and Sea Monster Hunter" is also inviting you to participate in the second part. I have read the script and it is very good."

Yan Zixiu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "I don't want to act in the second part. I will read the script given by Liu Chenyu carefully."

"Okay, if there is a better script, I will send it to you as soon as possible."

After Li Fengzhi finished speaking, he raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "We haven't eaten together for a long time. I will treat you at noon. Let's go out to eat."

Not long after the two drove to the restaurant, Gu Shiyi also came.

"Brother Yan." Gu Shiyi greeted him very energetically.

Yan Zixiu nodded as a response.

After ordering the dishes, Yan Zixiu stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

As soon as he left, Gu Shiyi couldn't wait to ask, "Wife, have you asked about Duan Shaoheng?"

"I did,

and Zixiu said he was repaying a favor." Gu Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest and said, "That's good, I thought my sister-in-law had fallen in love with someone else."

Li Fengzhi looked at him and said in a comforting tone, "If he really liked someone else, Zixiu wouldn't have waited for your brother for so long."

Gu Shiyi heard this and said a little sadly, "I think if Brother Jing doesn't change his mind, it will be a long time before my sister-in-law changes her partner."

After dinner, the two of them sent Yan Zixiu home together.

Just as he was about to get off the car, Gu Shiyi hurriedly said in a deliberate tone: "Wife, you must remember to ask for leave on the 28th of this month, because my brother's birthday is that day."

Li Fengzhi felt a little embarrassed by his obvious reminder, but still cooperated: "Don't worry, I will definitely not go to the company that day."

But Yan Zixiu seemed to ignore him, got out of the car without saying a word.

After everyone walked away, Li Fengzhi said helplessly: "You think too much. How could Zixiu forget your brother's birthday?"

Gu Shiyi said angrily: "Then I'll remind you. Maybe sister-in-law will come because of what I said."

Li Fengzhi shook his head, "You still don't understand him. As long as Zixiu doesn't want to do something, no one can force him."

In the following time, Yan Zixiu still devoted himself to work as usual, and even went to a remote mountain area to do charity activities for a week.

The day he returned to City B was exactly the day before Jing Shaoci's birthday.

Originally, his assistant should have taken him home, but Li Fengzhi asked the staff to go home and rest early, and he drove himself. Yan Zixiu leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes as soon as he

got in the car. Li Fengzhi saw this and did not disturb him.

More than half an hour later, the car arrived at the downstairs of the community.

"Zixiu, we're home."

Yan Zixiu opened his eyes, unbuckled his seat belt and said to him, "Thank you."

Just as he was about to open the car door, Li Fengzhi suddenly called him.

"Zixiu, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning..." Li Fengzhi paused, "Okay?"

There was no announcement tomorrow, and both of them knew it.

Yan Zixiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "No, thank you."

After saying these words, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Li Fengzhi looked at his leaving figure and sighed sadly.

When Yan Zixiu came out of the elevator with an expressionless face, he happened to see two people standing at the door of his house.

"Master Yan."

Fan Daode came over, and Ji Luoyu beside him also called him.

Yan Zixiu glanced at the two of them, then asked straight to the point: "What's the matter with you here?"

Fan Daode pulled the corners of his lips unnaturally, and said with a wry smile: "The bureau hopes that you can..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Zixiu interrupted him and said: "Tomorrow is my lover's birthday, I will not go anywhere."

When Fan Daode heard this, he nodded in understanding and said: "Okay, then you should rest early, we will leave first."

After he entered the room, Ji Luoyu lowered his head dejectedly.

"Master Yan Tianshi has been so cold these past two years. I've seen him smile before."

Fan Daode sighed and said, "For people like us who are always in big trouble, it's good that Master Yan Tianshi is willing to pay attention to us."

After the two of them walked into the elevator, he said, "The little bonus from our bureau is not even a fraction of what others make from filming. Master Yan Tianshi always helps the weak and helps the poor because he has good intentions."

Ji Luoyu heard this and silently prayed to God in his heart. Although he didn't know the reason, he hoped that Master Yan Tianshi would be happier in the future.

The next morning, Yan Zixiu went out early.

It was almost noon when he came out of a cake shop carrying a box.

"Happy birthday to your boyfriend." The proprietress smiled and waved.

Yan Zixiu replied earnestly, "Thank you."

After getting off the taxi, he put away the talisman paper that concealed his appearance.

As soon as he entered the Jing family's gate, Xie Wanxin appeared in front of him as if she had been waiting for him.

"Xiu Xiu, you're here." She looked at the cake in Yan Zixiu's hand, and her smile widened again.

"Mom."

Xie Wanxin held his other hand and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Not hungry yet."

The two walked towards the kitchen while talking.

Xie Wanxin originally thought he was going to put the cake, but unexpectedly Yan Zixiu took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves.

"Xiu Xiu, what are you doing..." she said puzzledly.

"I want to cook a meal for him."

As soon as the voice fell, Xie Wanxin's eyes suddenly became hot.

She quickly hid her emotions and said with a smile: "Okay, let's cook. When your father and Xiaoci come back, we will eat together as a family."

Unexpectedly, Yan Zixiu lowered his head and said: "No need."

"Xiu Xiu..."

Yan Zixiu raised his eyes and looked at her and said: "Mom, it's his birthday today, I don't want him to be unhappy."

Xie Wanxin's heart was filled with sorrow and she could no longer say words of comfort.

In addition to a few dishes that he was good at, Yan Zixiu also studied many recipes in advance according to Jing Shaoci's taste.

Just when the last dish was about to come out of the pot, the housekeeper suddenly ran over with a nervous look on his face and said: "Madam, Second Young Master, the master's car is parked at the door."

Today is the year-end shareholders' meeting. Jing Fengyi and Jing Shaoci went to the company together, so they must come back together.

When Yan Zixiu heard this, he immediately turned off the stove, picked up his coat and left without even taking off his apron. He

definitely couldn't leave through the door, so Xie Wanxin had to protect him as he entered the elevator.

At the moment when the elevator door closed, Jing Fengyi and Jing Shaoci walked in.

"Husband, Xiaoci." Xie Guanxin said with an unnatural smile.

Jing Fengyi could tell at a glance that his wife was a little bit abnormal, but he chose to remain calm.

"The meal is ready, let's go to the restaurant."

After going down to the garage, Yan Zixiu looked at his hands and smiled helplessly.

He could obviously teleport away directly, why was he so flustered?

Just when Yan Zixiu was about to perform the shrinking technique, he suddenly received a message from the housekeeper.

At the same time, Jing Shaoci had already sat down at the dining table.

"Xiaoci, today is your birthday."

After saying this, Xie Guanxin took a deep breath, as if she had made some important decision.

"All the dishes on this table were made by Xiu Xiu. If you don't want to eat them, I'll eat with your father."

After saying that, she pointed to the side and said, "This cake was also made by him for you. If you don't like it, I'll ask the housekeeper to throw it away."

In fact, Xie Wanxin didn't know who made the cake, but no matter whether it was bought or not, she said it was made by Yan Zixiu.

After hearing this, Jing Fengyi understood why his wife looked strange.

"I've found an excuse to leave him in the garage. Whether you want to meet him or not, your father and I respect your decision."

Jing Shaoci clenched his fingers under the table, and after a while, he picked up the chopsticks in the eyes of the two.

Xie Wanxin wanted to say something, but was persuaded by Jing Fengyi's eyes.

The three of them sat at the dining table and ate quietly. Unexpectedly, after Jing Shaoci took the first bite of chicken wings, he put down his chopsticks and stood up suddenly.

Jing Fengyi and Xie Guanxin looked at the direction he was walking away, and smiled with relief at the same time.

But at this moment, the whole garage was echoing with Duan Shaoheng's voice——

"Master, save me!"

Yan Zixiu had just extinguished the flames on the talisman paper when he heard movement behind him.

He turned around and saw the face he had been thinking about day and night.
