Chapter 72: Long time no see For the next few days, Lin Xicai was not...
For the next few days, Lin Xicai stayed at home and lived the life of Karl Lagerfeld. Every day at dinner time, she would hold her mobile phone in her arms, staring at it with hearts in her eyes. She had luxurious meals, abalone and lobster in the first meal and tomahawk steak in the second, French food on the left and Japanese food on the right... She would just order whatever she saw with her eyes closed. She was not afraid of spending money or gaining weight.
Xie Shi let her use his cell phone and spend the money as she pleased. He ate whatever she ordered without saying a word or making any comment, letting her do as she pleased.
It was indeed delicious at the beginning. Lin Xicai felt the happiness of a capitalist and exclaimed that this was life. But soon, the excitement gradually subsided. Her taste buds began to get bored and picky. Those luxurious and exquisite meals were served, and they were obviously delicious, but she just had no appetite and began to feel... sick of them.
Then at this time, she suddenly thought of Le Xieshi’s diced eggplant and shredded pork noodles.
There was a table full of expensive delicacies in front of her, but she just wanted to eat a bowl of noodles.
Xie Shi sat across from her, picking at dishes intermittently. He asked knowingly, "What's wrong? Why aren't you eating? There are so many delicious dishes, and you don't like any of them?"
"Xie Shi," the person on the other side pursed his lips and said softly, "...I still want to eat what you cook."
Xie Shi raised his eyes to glance at her, feeling relieved but keeping a straight face. "Really? My home-cooked dishes are no match for the wild food out there."
“…”
Well, it starts again.
Is this guy a reincarnated jealous person? It's bad enough that he's jealous everywhere, but why is he even jealous of a dish?
There's nothing I can do. Since he's easy to coax, I'll just coax him.
"I'm just playing around with food from other places, but I really love your food." Lin Xicai was so sincere that it was almost affectionate. "Food from other places is only good for a while, but I can eat your food forever."
Xie Shi: “…”
"What to eat?"
"Dice eggplant and shredded pork noodles."
......
The days pass by unknowingly.
This day marked three months since they last met.
It was late at night and the lights in the room were off. Xie Shi stood by the bed, staring at the person sleeping soundly on the bed with a deep look in his eyes.
Three months is still too short.
If possible, he hoped they could live like this for three years, thirty years, or even three hundred years.
He was in hell, originally enduring it all alone, and he seemed to have gotten used to it, but then this person rushed in, bringing a beam of light with him. He was warmed by this light, and he was addicted to it. If it were suddenly gone, he didn't know if he could still get used to the torment he had been in before.
Xie Shiyou stared at the person on the bed. The moonlight outside the window sprinkled on that delicate and calm face, like a precious oil painting that could be stolen at any time, his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
He was enduring it. If he relaxed even a little, he would lose control of the evil thoughts deep in his heart. He wanted to imprison them in this corner forever.
There is no aging, no death, and no future.
The whole world is their backdrop, and they can live forever in this static world.
This idea tempted him, even though he knew it was poisonous and had thorns and should not be touched.
After a while, he leaned over slightly and kissed her lightly on the lips.
The kiss was very light, just like a dragonfly touching the water. When they separated, they found that the person on the bed had opened his eyes at some point and was lying there sleepily, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
So the body that was about to straighten up bent down again, and he couldn't help but kiss her again. A slender arm stretched out from the quilt and gently placed on his shoulder, but instead of pushing him away, she pushed herself towards him and responded to him awkwardly. The light touch turned into an attack on the city.
Late at night, bedroom, bed.
It’s too easy to make mistakes at this time.
That kiss had long since become a kiss, and the breathing of both people could be clearly heard in the quiet air.
Xie Shi's body and eyes seemed to have undergone some changes, becoming erotic, full of desire, with a kind of strength and aggressiveness that made people shudder.
In the end, he just hugged her, holding her through the thick quilt to calm her down, burying his face in her neck, and his breath was hot and scorching.
Lin Xicai didn't dare to move, her body was a little stiff.
This is not the first time they have been on the verge of losing control. If they continue like this, something bad will happen sooner or later.
She knew what he was thinking. She had had such bad thoughts before, and at certain moments she would feel distracted for a moment, thinking that it was possible for them to be together forever on this day.
But it was only for a moment, and she never forgot why she was there.
Lin Xicai was silent for a while. When Xie Shi looked up and met her gaze, she looked into his eyes and finally spoke: "It's been 90 days. Xie Shi, let's make it 100 days."
"After the 100th day, it's tomorrow," she said. "Let's not kid ourselves. Life will eventually move on. Tomorrow won't never come."
Lin Xicai paused, and gently stroked his eyebrows with her fingertips. "We still have ten days before tomorrow comes."
She suddenly smiled. "I've been studying with my eyes open and eyes closed every day for the past three months. I finally have the right to relax for the last ten days. Don't force me to study anymore. I'll make a strategy and we can have fun for a few days."
Xie Shi stared at her for a while, his Adam's apple moved, but he didn't object.
.......
The glass roof was hot and the water in the pool was dazzling.
When Xie Shi went into the water, Lin Xicai didn't move. She lay on the rattan chair by the swimming pool and drank soda slowly.
During these ten days, they went to many places, such as amusement parks, comic conventions, art galleries, and cinemas... In the end, they didn't know where to go. A swimming competition was playing on TV. Lin Xicai's eyes suddenly lit up and she nudged the person next to her with her elbow, "Can you swim?"
Xie Shi nodded, "Everyone can swim."
"Then let's go swimming." Lin Xicai took out her phone and tapped it on her palm, feeling a little excited. "I love swimming so much, but because of my heart, my family hasn't allowed me to go in the water for a long time."
Xie Shi naturally had no problem with this, and he directly booked a swimming pool for her to play in. There were very few swimming pools that could be booked and used on the same day, so in the end he decided on a high-end swimming pool, and spent a high price that even Lin Xicai could not imagine.
Although she knew very well that the money they squandered would return to their wallets at midnight, Lin Xicai still felt a pang of pain. As expected, she still couldn't get used to the extravagant life of the capitalists.
Lin Xicai swam underwater for a long time. When she was tired, she lay on the shore and drank juice. She felt that life was comfortable and her whole body was refreshed. She couldn't help but sigh again how happy it was to have a healthy body.
If she really succeeded in returning home this time, would she be able to run whenever she wanted, jump whenever she wanted, swim whenever she wanted, get angry whenever she wanted, and lose her temper whenever she wanted, just like now?
Lin Xicai suddenly felt that life was full of hope.
She wanted to laugh unconsciously, but the smile on her lips had not yet appeared. When she thought of Xie Shi, it slowly fell.
What will he do if she leaves?
Lin Xicai bit the straw, and the sweet soda between her lips and teeth suddenly became tasteless.
Lin Xicai sipped the soda sporadically until the bottom of the glass was empty. Holding the empty glass, Lin Xicai suddenly realized—Where's Xie Shiren? He just said he was going to dive. It's been too long, why is there no movement at all?
Lin Xicai stood up suddenly. The water surface was as calm as a mirror, without even a bubble.
"Xie Shi?" Lin Xicai's mind went blank. Her slippers made a quick sound on the tiles. She ran to the edge of the pool in a few steps and jumped in without thinking, splashing a large amount of water.
She entered the water and wandered around. Just as she was about to dive into the deeper water, her ankle was suddenly grabbed by a force. She screamed and fell forward into a cold embrace.
The lips were blocked precisely, with the coolness of swimming pool water and the force was undeniable.
Lin Xicai struggled twice, pushed him away, and pulled him to the surface.
The moment the two of them emerged from the water together, Lin Xicai stared at him with hatred, raised her hand and gently slapped him in the face.
Her eyes were red and angry: "Do you know how long you have been underwater?"
Xie Shi shook the water droplets off his face and hair, smiled cruelly and coldly, and said in a flat tone: "I don't know. I'm waiting to see if you will come to find me."
"This joke is not funny at all!" Lin Xicai stared at him stubbornly, "Promise me, no matter what, don't joke about your life."
Seeing this, Xie Shi reached out and pinched her wrist, his fingertips slightly cold: "But you came and kissed me."
Seeing that he still had the nerve to smile, Lin Xicai shook off his hand, turned around and was about to swim towards the shore, but he was hugged tightly from behind.
He rested his chin on the top of her head, and after a while, he solemnly and quietly promised: "I promise you."
The ripples on the water surface swayed gently, sparkling like tiny diamonds.
......
On the last day they had agreed on, they went to the park to watch the sunset. When they got home, Xie Shi was hit by a small chandelier at the entrance when he passed by. A small cut was made on his forehead and blood was gushing out.
Lin Xicai heard some noise behind her, turned around and screamed, "What's going on?"
It's this little chandelier again.
This little chandelier falls down at this time every day.
Xie Shi would always avoid it, and later on, the first thing he did every morning when he woke up was to fix the lights.
But today he seemed to have forgotten to repair it.
There was no repair or hiding, just being hit.
Lin Xicai was busy looking for something to bandage him. Xie Shi looked at the wound on his forehead in the mirror. After a while, he murmured, "This is the antidote for this day."
Lin Xicai didn't hear clearly or understand, "What?"
"Nothing." Xie Shi smiled slightly, "Tomorrow will be a new day."
The cycle has been broken.
As you wish, tomorrow will be a new day.
Lin Xicai seemed stunned for a moment, a little dazed, and a little relieved. "Okay, then after dinner, take me home. Although it's only been a day, I haven't seen my mother for three months."
That night, Xie Shi sent Lin Xicai home. When the two were parting at the door of Fu's house, he suddenly called her.
"I still have some things to do," Xie Shi said, "Wait a moment, and promise me you won't go out for the next week."
Lin Xicai didn't nod immediately and paused.
She looked at him for a long moment, then said seriously, "If it's Li Ci, don't interfere. I have a way to protect myself."
Xie Shi stared at her, his eyes changing uncontrollably when he heard the name, and his tone became grave: "Don't let me hear this name from your mouth again."
Lin Xicai didn't avoid his gaze. After a moment of silence, she said, "Don't forget what you promised me."
"I haven't forgotten," Xie Shi said. "I promise you. I will do things the way you like."
Lin Xicai wanted to say that she didn't have any favorite way, and she wouldn't like it as long as he was still interfering in this matter.
But she knew the person in front of her too well. He was a rebellious person, and sometimes if she said too much, the result might be bad.
She could only hope that he really listened to her words.
After Lin Xicai arrived home, as Xie Shi had said, time began to move forward in an orderly manner.
As for Lin Xicai, she hadn't dared to step out of the Fu family's front door since she got home. She didn't dare to think about what kind of psychopaths were out there waiting to take revenge on her. As long as she didn't go out, she would be safe.
The system has not been seen since it disappeared last time, and Lin Xicai summons it almost every day.
It's too difficult. Without some external help, she really can't move forward.
That day, Lin Xicai was doing homework in her room when Fu Xuefan sent her a message, asking her to come over and have lunch with them at noon.
Lin Xicai was a little surprised and subconsciously didn't want to join in the fun. Just as she was thinking about how to refuse, Fu Xuefan sent her a message urging her to go over, saying that it was her father who asked her to go over quickly.
Fu Changmin was a good elder who took good care of her and her daughter, so she swallowed her words of refusal.
Lin Xicai walked to the main building, pushed open the door and entered the living room. She looked up casually, and when her eyes met a pair of eyes, her whole body froze.
Li Ci was sitting on the sofa facing the door, staring at her quietly like a poisonous snake.
Fu Changmin's eyes lit up when he saw her and he called her over. "There are guests at home. I heard from Fanfan that you two are quite familiar with each other. Let's have dinner together later."
As he spoke, he asked the servants to set the table.
Li Ci's eyes locked onto her the first second he saw her, and never left her gaze. His gaze seemed to want to devour her, tear her apart, and crush her to pieces, yet a faint smile clung to his face. "Long time no see."
Lin Xicai's face turned pale in an instant.
Li Ci stood up from the sofa and stood there tall and slender, looking gentle and polite.
"Are you feeling unwell?" he asked. "Why are you so pale? Are you sick, or did I scare you?"
