Su Xi understood what Director Chen meant. Su Rou had come from the Love and Care Orphanage. Director Chen was a kind person who treated every child in the orphanage like his own.
Now that Su Rou is down on her luck, Dean Chen naturally feels sorry for her.
"I know it's not a good idea to say this, but if it were you..."
"good."
Perhaps seeing that she didn't respond, Dean Chen thought she was unhappy and wanted to say something to ease the tension, but unexpectedly Su Xi agreed.
Dean Chen was taken aback, but quickly recovered and smiled. "I've always known you're a kind girl. It was the Su family's cruelty and inhumanity that caused you so much suffering. Anyone in your shoes would definitely feel hatred."
Su Xi and Dean Chen have a good relationship. Besides talking about the orphanage, they often chat about their personal matters.
Dean Chen is aware of Su Xi's situation.
I feel sorry for her from the bottom of my heart.
"I was determined to take revenge on them before, but now that the Su family is in decline, I feel quite calm," Su Xi said, gazing ahead at a group of children playing soccer on the playground.
She suffered countless grievances in the Su family back then, and it was hatred that supported her to become stronger. Now she is strong enough to make those who bullied her pay the price.
Seeing those people kneeling and begging for mercy, she didn't feel any pleasure in punishing them.
Although Su Rou is hateful, it is also caused by jealousy.
Unlike Li Xuemei, who was vicious and ruthless from the bottom of her heart.
Su Rou has indeed changed, and Li Xuemei is now paralyzed. She has achieved her goal, and these people no longer mean anything to her.
"I can choose not to make things difficult for her, but I also won't help her. What happens to Su Rou in the future is none of my business."
A ball rolled to Su Xi's feet.
She bent down to pick it up, then kicked the ball back with a smile.
Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed past her eyes. Su Xi thought it was her imagination and rubbed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, the man's figure became increasingly familiar.
"Go."
Dean Chen also saw Zhou Jingming and said with a smile.
Su Xi took a step forward, turned back and smiled, "I'll come find you in a bit."
Zhou Jingming also ran towards her with the ball, and Su Xi went to steal the ball, and the two began to compete in the ball game.
"When did you get here?" Su Xi seized the opportunity to steal the ball.
Zhou Jingming reacted quickly and easily dodged the question, saying, "I just arrived recently."
"Following me?" Undeterred by her first failed attempt, Su Xi looked for another opportunity.
They were all highly skilled individuals honed through rigorous training, and Zhou Jingming's reaction was surprisingly quick. "I couldn't find you at the hospital, and thinking you might come here, I followed you to check on you."
After saying that, his expression turned serious in an instant, "You just went to the casino?"
Su Xi entered the casino, and someone immediately reported to him.
The place was a mixed and filthy place, unsuitable for a young woman.
Su Xi honestly admitted, "Su Rou was humiliated, and it just so happened that the man was a regular at the casino. I suspected that he might be involved in the car accident, so I went over to investigate."
"Hmm..." Zhou Jingming dribbled the ball and maneuvered around Su Xi, controlling it to prevent it from being stolen. "Any clues?"
Su Xi shook her head. "It wasn't him."
"I've already had Si Nan investigate this matter, and we should have results soon. But you're not allowed to go to places like casinos again." With that, Zhou Jingming tensed his calves and kicked the ball away with all his might.
A perfect shot went into the net, the ball bounced out and bounced several times on the ground.
Su Xi got the ball first and seized the initiative, saying, "I'll listen to my husband and not go anymore."
Zhou Jingming raised his lips, wanting to pat her head, but Su Xi quickly ran off with the ball.
She even turned back and waved at him, saying, "Come and grab it."
Zhou Jingming easily caught up with him.
The couple chased each other on the court, their skills evenly matched.
Soon after, Su Xi also scored a goal.
"Not bad, have you been training?" Zhou Jingming clapped and cheered as he watched the perfect shot.
Su Xi touched his nose smugly, "Self-taught."
Tired from playing, the two sat down on the grass to rest. Su Xi leaned her head on the man's shoulder, while Zhou Jingming put his arm around her waist. The soft sunlight shone on them, as if gilding them with a layer of radiance, making them look like a beautiful painting.
Su Xi never imagined that she and Zhou Jingming would have this day.
When the two were mortal enemies, she never looked forward to the future.
When they first got together, he said it was all about sex, not feelings, and she didn't take the relationship seriously either.
But this seemingly simple game turned out to be his long-planned, complete love scheme.
She married her arch-nemesis.
His arch-rival, who had secretly loved her for over a decade.
Whenever Su Xi recalls all of this, she always feels like she's had a dream.
"Zhou Jingming, when exactly did you start liking me?" Su Xi tilted her head to look at the man's face.
He's a monster.
No matter which angle you look at it from, it is so perfect and impeccable.
The palpitations I'd never felt before gradually began to pound in my heart during this time of growing affection.
Even now, just smelling his scent makes people feel happy and sweet.
Zhou Jingming thought seriously, "Maybe it was when some little crybaby was bullied and came to me for help with a pitiful look, or maybe it was when you dressed me up as a little princess and made me get laughed at, or maybe it was... when you secretly kissed me while we were playing house."
As Su Xi listened to him, scenes from her childhood flashed through her mind.
So many years have passed, and my memory has long been blurred, but I never expected Zhou Jingming to remember it so clearly.
She recalled that interview, in which the host asked when the two had their first kiss. Zhou Jingming said it was on the night of February 16th, during a rainstorm.
If she remembered correctly, that day was the night she was punished by Li Xuemei, a night filled with wind and rain, a night when she felt most helpless and afraid.
She also misunderstood that Lin had spent the night with her.
Zhou Jingming said that he was the one who was there that night.
So this man secretly kissed her back then?
"If you like me, just say it. Aren't you tired of hiding it for so many years?" Su Xi suddenly felt her self-esteem was satisfied.
There was actually a man who had secretly liked her for so many years.
But she knew nothing about it.
Zhou Jingming flicked her forehead as punishment, "What if I scare you away if I tell you?"
"If you refuse me, where will I put my pride?"
Goodness.
It turns out she was afraid of being rejected.
Even a dignified young master like Zhou has things he fears.
That's really rare.
"Being so concerned about your image, no wonder you've had a crush on him for so many years." Su Xi grabbed his large hand and played with his slender fingers. "But, the feeling of being secretly admired is quite nice."
She felt both nervous and excited, especially when Zhou Jingming confessed everything.
The most unimaginable thing actually happened in such a confused and bewildering way.
"I've given you my whole heart, you have to make it up to me." Zhou Jingming pinched her chin and gazed at her tenderly.
