Chapter 49 I Deserve to Die



Chi Xiuwen's words, which were described as excessively manipulative, even sounded somewhat sinister to Pei Zhi.

This doesn't fit Chi Xiuwen's character.

Chi Hsiu-wen has always been a tough guy, but now he's become... a bit greasy.

"The way you're saying that... is just like what those male escorts say, it's not suitable for you."

Chi Xiuwen raised an eyebrow: "Is it inappropriate? I've seen it portrayed this way in novels and TV dramas."

Pei Zhi retorted, "Why are you learning all this?"

Chi Xiuwen gently massaged Pei Zhi's legs, "They are good at being charming, they must have some special qualities."

"ha."

"You'd better just be yourself."

“No good.” Chi Xiuwen shook his head and said with a light sneer, “It’s my own fault.”

“Chi Xiuwen, you are very good.” Pei Zhi cupped Chi Xiuwen’s face in her hands. “You are really good, it’s my fault.”

Pei Zhi did not want Chi Xiuwen to develop such feelings of self-loathing.

She's the bad guy; she has nothing to do with Chi Xiuwen.

Chi Xiuwen is a very, very good person; he has done nothing wrong.

"If you're not good enough, why am I so attracted to you the moment I see you?"

"Can you stay with me forever? I have nothing left but you."

Chi Xiuwen pulled Pei Zhi close and hugged her.

"I can give up everything. I can quit acting so we won't be photographed. It'll just be the two of us, and we can live a quiet life, okay?"

Pei Zhi couldn't agree to Chi Xiuwen's request; she was leaving.

She will only cause Chi Xiuwen greater harm if she agrees to his request now.

Pei Zhi hesitated and said, "The world is vast, and there are many beautiful things. I can go with you to find them."

"I don't need anything, I just want you. Please, don't leave again."

Pei Zhi was unable to answer Chi Xiuwen's pleas.

She couldn't agree to Chi Xiuwen's request, so she could only refuse silently.

Chi Xiuwen waited for a long time, but Pei Zhi did not reply.

"Pei Zhi, you are so heartless."

With tears welling in his eyes, Chi Xiuwen questioned, "If that's the case, why did you come back? To inflict further pain on me?"

"Are you happy and satisfied to see me in such a sorry state?"

Pei Zhi noticed the madness in Chi Xiuwen's eyes. "You're not right right now. Calm down."

“You don’t care about me at all. Mind your own business and get out of here. Get out of here right now.”

"Go as far away as possible, and never appear in front of me again."

Pei Zhi noticed that Chi Xiuwen's face was turning pale, and dared not provoke him further.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Pei Zhi got up, ready to leave.

Chi Xiuwen kicked over the coffee table in front of him, and the things on the table fell to the ground.

Pei Zhi took two steps back, somewhat startled.

Chi Xiuwen always presented himself as a gentleman and refined gentleman in front of Pei Zhi.

Never before had my face been so dark, radiating a gloomy aura.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Chi Xiuwen seemed to sober up a bit.

"I... I didn't mean to, I didn't intend to do this."

Chi Xiuwen didn't want to make a scene with Pei Zhi, nor did he want to lose his composure in front of her.

Pei Zhi stepped over the shards and hugged Chi Xiuwen.

"Let's get treatment first. I'll stay with you. Let's get treatment first, okay?"

At this moment, Pei Zhi's self-blame reached its peak.

Because of her, a healthy person has become like this; it's all her fault.

Pei Zhi comforted Chi Xiuwen for a long time, and then found the medicine prescribed by the doctor and made Chi Xiuwen take it.

After Chi Xiuwen fell asleep, Pei Zhi contacted Chi Xiuwen's agent.

It was only from Chi Hsiu-wen's agent that I learned that Chi Hsiu-wen had a history of depression.

Chi Hsiu-wen got too into character, but once filming wraps up and he gets a few months to rest, he'll be able to get over it on his own.

Therefore, the reason why Chi Xiuwen became like this still lies with Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi scratched her head, unable to accept that Chi Xiuwen had become like this.

What if she doesn't come back?

In case something really happens to Chi Xiuwen because of her, she…

[System, I think I really made a mistake.]

The system sent Pei Zhi back to save the world.

Pei Zhi thought that she was just a little lecherous.

What's wrong with her having fun with men in her own little world?

Seeing a perfectly healthy person become like this because of her, Pei Zhi realized that she had made a mistake.

The system paused for a moment, then said, "[Do you want to know what happened to those three people last time?]"

Pei Zhi instinctively wanted to refuse because she had a feeling that the last time might not have ended well.

You tell me.

Chi Xiuwen committed suicide, and Lu Mingxu went to prison. Xie Cinian became disabled and lived abroad permanently, establishing a rule that no descendant of the Xie family could ever return to China.

Why is this happening?

Given Chi Xiuwen's current condition, if he falls ill, he will have to receive treatment.

It's not impossible that Chi Xiuwen might actually go down that path in the future.

But Lu Mingxu was perfectly fine, so why did he end up in jail?

And then there's Xie Cinian, a perfectly healthy person, how did he become disabled?

What other rule was established, that Xie family descendants would never be allowed to return to China?

After you disappeared, Xie Cinian reappeared, and Lu Mingxu assumed that Xie Cinian had taken you away.

Pei Zhi didn't need to hear what happened next.

When Lu Mingxu gets impulsive, not even eight oxen could stop him.

Lu Mingxu couldn't find him anywhere, and seeing Xie Cinian's powerful family, he must have assumed that Xie Cinian had imprisoned her.

No one knows what Lu Mingxu did that crippled Xie Cinian, and he himself ended up in jail.

I deserve to die.

"You'd better not die yet. If you die, things will go into chaos again."

The most urgent task is to treat Chi Xiuwen's illness.

Mental illnesses, unlike physical illnesses, are much more difficult to cure.

For physical ailments, medication, surgery, and wound healing are all that's needed.

When Chi Xiuwen woke up, he smelled the aroma of food.

When the door opened, Pei Zhi was standing in the kitchen, wearing an apron and busy at work.

"You're awake, come have breakfast."

Chi Xiuwen stood at the doorway, "This seems to be a scene from my dream."

Pei Zhi's tone rose slightly, "In your dreams, I cook for you in the kitchen every day and wait for you to come and eat?"

Chi Xiuwen immediately shook his head, "No... it's that I get up early every day to cook for you and then wake you up to eat."

"No matter who cooks, come and eat first."

Pei Zhi cooked millet porridge and stir-fried some side dishes.

Pei Zhi was worried that Chi Xiuwen hadn't been eating properly and had a bad stomach, so she prepared some light food for him first.

Pei Zhi ladled out a bowl of millet porridge and placed it in front of Chi Xiuwen.

"Shall we go to the hospital after breakfast?"

Chi Xiuwen was stunned for a moment. He looked at Pei Zhi's gentle profile and couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Chi Xiuwen nodded, "Okay, if you want me to go, then we'll go."

Pei Zhi placed a spoon in Chi Xiuwen's bowl and suddenly said, "I love you."

Chi Xiuwen looked up in a panic: "What?"
