Chapter 707 I like you

Zhong Yi's fingers twirling the corners of the quilt moved slightly, and a sourness surged into his throat.

"At first, I had no choice. The Zhong family found me, and that accident happened. That made the identity of Ayi disappear completely. If I went back to find you, Zhong Lingxiao would definitely threaten me with your safety."

"So you're doing this for my safety?"

Zhong Yi looked at her stubborn almond eyes and said, "Not entirely. I also wanted to see how high I could stand. At that time, I couldn't protect anyone."

I also want to wait until the dust settles before marrying someone.

Now, she is only twenty-two years old.

Who would have thought she would get married so early!

Just give him one more year, one year will be enough!

After the New Year, he will find ways to get the position of heir and take control of the entire Zhong family!

But he was a year late.

Just one year.

Life is unpredictable.

Qiao Xi said self-deprecatingly, "I don't know if you're a good actor or I'm just too stupid. When you appeared in Haicheng, I didn't even believe that someone could come back to life from the dead."

Same name.

Similar faces.

But a completely unfamiliar look and temperament.

She was really deceived.

Qiao Xi looked at him and said, "Now I know the reason why you faked your death, and I appreciate your kindness! Thirteen Bay Pier, thank me for saving you once, and I will repay you slowly in the future. This thermos contains astragalus chicken soup, and you can pour it out if you don't like chicken soup. Your body needs to rest well now. I'll leave first..."

A lot of words come to my lips, but I don't know how to say them.

But seeing that Zhong Yi had woken up, Qiao Xi felt relieved.

It's time for her to go.

“Xixi!”

Zhong Yi struggled to stand up and reached out to grab her wrist.

The IV tube on the back of his hand was bright red.

This time I really recovered!

"Don't go."

He used almost all his strength to keep her. "I regretted it countless times."

I regret leaving like that.

I regret not going to Haicheng earlier.

I regret that I had planned every step and calculated everything, but I still missed something.

Regret is the illegitimate child of the Zhong family, being carried forward by fate.

"Qiao Xi, I was a mistake from birth. If I had a choice, I would rather be an ordinary person in Moon Village than the young master of some first-class family."

He grasped her wrist tightly. "I have wanted to be honest with you many times, but I have external and internal troubles. You have had such a hard life, and I don't want to add any more burden to you. I can't let my troubles become your troubles."

His pale, delicate face was bloodless and his lips were white and dry.

At this moment, those passionate eyes showed incomparable sincerity and sadness.

Qiao Xi bit her lip tightly, turned around and saw the bright red blood on the back of his hand. She opened her mouth, but finally sighed.

She pulled out the needle, reprocessed it, and inserted it into the back of his hand.

Finally, secure it with tape.

"Qiao Xi."

Zhong Yi's smile was somewhat bitter. "I know it's useless to explain more now. It's true that I lied to you. I have imagined the scene of us meeting countless times, but I never thought it would be in such a life-and-death situation. You saved me again..."

“You’ve helped me so many times.”

Qiao Xi tried hard to remain calm, but her slightly trembling voice revealed the turmoil in her heart.

"Zhong Yi, I have never regretted going to the Thirteen Bay Pier to save you. Saving you was like saving my former self who was drowning in self-blame and unable to get ashore."

She went to make up for her regrets.

Tears rolled down from the corners of Qiao Xi's eyes.

"I studied medicine so hard because I wanted to keep the people around me."

"But..." Her voice choked with sobs, "From you, to my grandmother... and then to Grandpa Cheng, they almost became my lifelong regrets. I was always afraid that I would not be able to keep you no matter how hard I tried."

"so……"

She sniffed, and a bright smile appeared on her pretty face.

Like spring flowers with rain.

"I'm glad to know you're still alive. This joy is greater than the anger of being deceived."

"I just... don't know how to express the complicated emotions in my heart. I don't know if you are still the same as before. I am afraid that you have changed. I am afraid that you are just pretending to be a complete stranger."

Zhong Yi's voice was a little hoarse and a little weak.

"I have never changed towards you."

I love you as passionately as I did when I was a teenager.

To like someone, one always just wants to be someone's favorite.

"Xixi, you can trust me like before. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. There is no need for any formalities between us, and there are no more secrets."

Qiao Xi wiped the tears from her cheeks and said, "When you were in Haicheng, you went to worship grandma, right?"

"Um."

"That day you stayed in the trunk to go into the city, was it to avoid Zhong Lingxiao's pursuit?"

"yes."

"You and Xiang Mingzhu are playing coy with each other in order to sow discord between her and Lu Yingxue, so that I can take advantage of the situation in the needle testing competition?"

"yes."

Zhong Yi did not lie and admitted everything.

Qiao Xi's eyes were hot. "Have you sent someone to look for Master Cheng?"

"Yes, I have been searching for a long time but have not made any progress."

Qiao Xi felt relieved. Looking at his handsome face that seemed so familiar yet unfamiliar, the last trace of alienation and suspicion disappeared.

"You and Lu Yingxue..."

"Nothing happened." Zhong Yi looked at her and said softly, "It's just a casual act."

"What about your engagement? I hope you can find a girl you like, instead of sacrificing your own happiness for the sake of profit." Qiao Xi said seriously, "I am one of the people who hope you can be happy."

His first half of life was not easy either.

Although you are rich and glorious now, who knows if it will become a passing cloud in the next second.

Zhong Yi's eyes flashed with sadness: "The end of the year is approaching, and my engagement with her won't last long. I won't focus on relationships now, that's not what I need."

The person he wanted was already married.

No matter how good other people are, they have nothing to do with him.

He hated Huo Xingzhou to the core, but because of the incident at the Thirteen Bays Pier, he had no choice but to be tied to him.

To be honest, he really wanted to undermine the relationship.

"Will you be in danger in this internal fight?" Qiao Xi regretted the moment she said this.

If there was no danger, how could he lie here?

"It's okay." Zhong Yi lowered his eyes and said, "I will take care of myself."

He must win!

His past and everything about Qiao Xi may have been exposed.

So, you can only win!

Zhong Yi looked at her unnatural expression, and with a glance at the pot of astragalus chicken soup beside her, she said softly, "I want to drink your chicken soup, can I? I haven't had your medicinal food for many years, and I almost forgot what it tastes like."

He lowered his eyes, looking somewhat lonely and pitiful.

One of his hands was still connected to an IV, and he asked with a bit of extravagance: "I'm not feeling well, can you feed me?"
