When Xu Zhi left, he not only left before Zhu Xu, but also settled the bill.
Zhu Xu:?
Didn’t he come to treat us as promised?
…
When Chen Yao opened her eyes and was about to find some water to drink in the car, Xu Zhi came over and knocked on her car window.
The car door opened, and Xu Zhi sat in the main driver's seat. After closing the door, he looked at Chen Yao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, feeling a little tired and listless, and asked her, "Are you going home now?"
Chen Yao nodded and said, "Let's go."
On the way back, Chen Yao's eyes seemed a little blank, and she looked like she was thinking about something.
Xu Zhi asked her, "Are you too tired from your part-time job today?"
Chen Yao opened a bottle of purified water, brought it to her lips, drank two sips, and said softly: "No, it's not that I'm tired, I just suddenly feel that the world is impermanent, and I feel a little sad."
In fact, when she closed her eyes to rest just now, she asked the system to help her check Xu Sheng's life experience. After learning about it, she found out that he lived a very sunny and passionate life, just like a sunflower that strives to bloom upwards, with a stem that grows tall and straight, and can hold its head up vigorously even in the scorching sun without wilting at all.
A person like him should have lived a brilliant and passionate life, but unfortunately——
Encountered villains like Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming, as well as the unshakable umbrella of protection behind them.
Even after death, there is no peace.
In order to smooth over what happened back then, Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming fabricated several bad deeds for him. Now that more than two years have passed, they can still go back and make up some more just to cover up what happened back then more firmly.
In their eyes, other people's lives are nothing, only their own interests are the most important.
Chen Yao didn't even see a trace of apology, guilt, regret, indebtedness, panic or sadness in their eyes.
This matter has a long-lasting impact.
After she came to her senses, she could fully understand why Xu Zhi had persisted for so long, no matter how difficult it was, even if it might cost him half his life.
At this moment, she even wanted to tell Xu Zhi directly that she would accompany him to break through the umbrella of protection covering the gold-selling girl. She was not afraid of anything.
But after calming down, she felt that it was too strange to say this suddenly. After all, Xu Zhi had never talked to her in detail about his brother.
So she should just wait and see. When he is willing to take the initiative to bring it up, it won't be too late for her to express her attitude.
Now there is another problem. The task assigned to her by the security organization is only to hide and collect information and evidence, but she is not allowed to alert the enemy. Therefore, she must remain calm and not reveal any flaws in front of Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming, nor can she rush forward and do anything in a fit of rage.
"What happened?" Xu Zhi suddenly asked her.
"Hmm?" Chen Yao turned her head to look at him, her eyes flashing, "Nothing."
The traffic light ahead is red.
After Xu Zhi braked the car, he looked into her bright eyes and asked softly, "Were you wronged? Were you bullied? Was it during your part-time job today?"
He rarely saw her so down, so he was still very worried, afraid that she had encountered something but had no one to talk to.
Chen Yao just shook her head slightly and said, "No."
The street light turned green and Xu Zhi continued driving forward.
After crossing the intersection ahead, he heard Chen Yao say, "I just... suddenly found a partner I want to fight alongside. I want to do something more just and cool with him."
She smiled after she finished speaking, but Xu Zhi only felt a wave of bitterness and complexity in his heart when he heard it.
Who is this partner she is talking about?
Could it be someone I met at my part-time job today?
Or maybe, her boss?
Xu Zhi's eyes darkened, and an indescribable complex emotion swept over him.
The car was still moving forward at a steady speed and was about to pass an area where a long stretch of road was under maintenance and the street lights had been turned off for unknown reasons.
At the moment Xu Zhi drove the car past, the lights on the entire road suddenly lit up at the same time, instantly illuminating all the roads ahead.
At the same time, Chen Yao's gentle and firm voice sounded in his ears:
"I hope we can be—invincible."
