"What's going on now?" Xu Zhi asked in a low voice.
But the hand around Shen Yao's waist did not loosen at all.
Chen Yao: ...
Then, she heard Xu Zhi continue to whisper in her ear: "The moment I knew you were working for Zhou Cheng, do you know what I was thinking?"
Chen Yao: "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking that I appeared in front of you because of Zhou Cheng's suggestion? Or are you thinking about whether my previous sparring partner was sincere or fake?"
Xu Zhi: “Neither.”
Chen Yao was a little curious, "So what are you thinking about?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Zhi spoke: "What I was thinking at the time was, if only I could have met you earlier, then you wouldn't have to walk on thin ice alone until now. I would be with you and do what you want to do together, just like now."
Chen Yao's heart moved slightly. Just when she was about to ask him if he had reached an agreement with Zhou Cheng, he continued, "Zhou Cheng has been in some trouble recently. Maybe he hasn't had time to tell you yet. The reason he called you here today was actually to make you a scapegoat."
Chen Yao was stunned, "How did you know?"
Xu Zhi actually knew something before she did, something that even she didn't know.
Xu Zhi smiled. "Because I was the one who had those troubles exposed in advance. According to the original plan, those things would not come to light until the day of the competition at the end of the month, but for...some reasons, I changed the plan."
Chen Yao reacted quickly and asked, "Could it be me who caused this change?"
Xu Zhi didn't deny it. "Yes, it was you. I just didn't expect him to push you out so quickly."
At this moment, the system suddenly warned, "Host, Zhou Cheng has returned. You and Xu Zhi should leave now and return to where you were waiting for Zhou Cheng."
Chen Yao was startled and quickly pushed Xu Zhi's shoulder, saying in a somewhat hurried tone: "Hurry up, Zhou Cheng is coming back.
But at this time Xu Zhi did not seem to be in a hurry at all, as if everything was in his plan and arrangement.
The air was filled with silence, but Chen Yao's heart seemed to have a clock ticking all the time, and with the ups and downs of her heartbeat, she felt more anxious.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Xu Zhi's state at this moment had become different from before. Now it seemed as if he was going to do something without telling her, with a sense of being ready to die.
But time was running out and she had no time to think about it.
"Xu Zhi, you..." She gritted her teeth, her tone filled with obvious anxiety: "If you don't leave now, we're all doomed."
Suddenly——
Her cheeks felt hot because Xu Zhi suddenly raised his hand and touched her face, and for some reason he even pinched it.
Chen Yao: ???
At this moment, her nose suddenly felt cold.
Then it was plunged into a twilight of darkness.
At the moment her eyelids felt heavy, she heard the last few vague words:
"Although I showed up late, I hope everything is still in time."
"Chen Yao, I love you."
