☆、Seventy-five、Returning Home (2195 words)
Fortunately, the dormitories were all suites, so Li Yaxi never said anything when he brought female companions back.
Once, when she went to the bathroom, she ran into him wearing a condom in the restroom. He then smiled and asked Li Yaxi if she wanted to have a threesome. Li Yaxi immediately felt that his face was far too fake!
Li Yaxi still calls Feng Zihao every day; her monthly phone bill is enough to cover the monthly living expenses of a frugal international student.
The initial busyness was all for the sake of the final results after the project was completed, so Li Yaxi had a rare period of leisure in the two months before returning to China.
He finally has time to take good care of his health, and at least he needs to get back to the weight he had when he left the country before returning home.
Li Yaxi just couldn't understand why other people could lose weight so desperately, while he found it so incredibly difficult to gain weight!
After establishing a regular lifestyle, I even need to take stomach medicine much less often.
A cup of spring water every day, and a constant supply of fruit.
With plenty of time, Li Yaxi, who had hardly cooked since her rebirth, started cooking for herself every day.
Xia would sometimes come back for dinner, and then exclaim dramatically, "If you were a woman, I would definitely marry you!"
"Forget it, marrying you would mean constantly having to guard against mistresses, it's too tiring!"
There's a calendar by Li Yaxi's bedside, marking her return date day by day. She watches the numbers in her account steadily increase, but she feels no joy whatsoever.
If this money is useful to the Feng family, then the six months of separation will have been worthwhile.
One night, Han Weiming suddenly went to find Li Yaxi and dragged her out of the house.
Li Yaxi knew it was Han Weiming's birthday that day, and if it weren't for the fact that his other roommates were resting, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to get on the bus.
Han Weiming seemed particularly unhappy, perhaps due to setbacks at work.
Li Yaxi knew that Han Weiming had completely shifted his career to China after something happened abroad in his previous life. Looking at Han Weiming's cold expression, Li Yaxi became increasingly uneasy.
Li Yaxi's unease was quickly confirmed by reality: Han Weiming, who had been drinking, was driving recklessly and collided with a truck coming from the side.
In the blink of an eye, both cars were wrecked beyond recognition.
A truckload of goods was scattered on the road at night, broken glass was everywhere and stained with blood, and the air was filled with the smell of gasoline.
After the loud crash stopped, the silence became even more deathly. Before losing consciousness, Han Weiming tried to check on Li Yaxi beside him, but unfortunately, he couldn't withstand his physical limits and completely passed out.
At the moment of impact, Li Yaxi instinctively entered the space and collapsed on the grass, panting.
Little Ears and Little Seven rushed over and licked the blood off Li Yaxi's face and body; shards of glass were still embedded in her flesh.
Having narrowly escaped death, Li Yaxi fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, the constant stinging pain in his body reminded him of the terrible car accident he had been in the previous night.
The first thing he thought of wasn't whether Han Weiming was alive or dead, but rather that he really wanted to hear Feng Zihao's voice and tell him how much he missed him.
Enduring the pain, he removed the glass shards and soaked them in the spiritual spring for a long time. The wounds gradually began to heal before he changed his clothes and went outside.
The wrecked vehicles have been cleared away, and some dark red marks on the ground make the empty driveway look somewhat desolate.
Li Yaxi looked at the ground and smiled. "Han Weiming, if it weren't for the spatial ability, I would have died at your hands again!"
Back in her dorm room, Xia was still unaware of what had happened; it was just the first time she had stayed out all night.
"Heh, where did you go last night? Had some fun? How was it?"
"Not bad," Li Yaxi smiled and returned to her room.
The phone call woke Feng Zihao, who was already fast asleep. This time it rang several times before he answered. "Zihao, I want to come back early."
"Ya Xi? What's wrong? Did something happen?"
The fact that he was called back at a time when he never usually did, and that he was going back to China early, sent a chill down Feng Zihao's spine, banishing all sleepiness.
"It's nothing, I just miss you so much, so so much, that's why I couldn't hold back anymore, Zihao, let's never be apart again, okay! I'll never be away from you for so long and so far again!"
"Okay, we'll never be apart again. It should be class time for you, right? Have you had breakfast? Don't you have any classes today?"
"I have class, I'm going to be late, Zihao, wait for me to come back!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you." After hanging up the phone, Li Yaxi collapsed onto the bed, almost bursting into tears.
Back at school to process the application for returning to campus, this elfin-like Eastern boy stood out as exceptionally refined and pleasing to the eye amidst the tall, burly crowds of foreigners.
The school was reluctant to let her go back for this reason alone, especially since many people recognized Li Yaxi's abilities and believed she would have a bright future if she stayed in the United States. Therefore, everyone wanted to keep this beautiful young woman there.
"I'm sorry, my love is still at home; he's been waiting for me for a long time."
"he?"
Yes, it was him!
The professor looked at the brave boy with a friendly smile, even though same-sex relationships are quite open in the United States.
But not many people can be so honest about it, especially a young man from a conservative country. His courage alone is enough to prove his sincere love.
After the school gave its approval, Li Yaxi got busy again.
Some accounts and stocks needed to be sorted out, and it took several days to get everything sorted out.
All the money he earned in the United States over the past six months was transferred to a Swiss bank, and his assets were recognized by a Swiss bank Black Diamond card as proof of his status.
Li Yaxi simply smiled and accepted the gifts without any surprise; it was all just for Feng Zihao.
He's not good at scheming; he can't handle those political intrigues and maneuvers.
The only thing I can do for Feng Zihao is to use my memories from his previous life to prepare more funds.
Li Yaxi also regretted that she hadn't thought that much about it back then, so she had just let herself get by and not starve.
Now that the moment has come, I realize I've wasted so much time. No matter how many times you live your life, there will always be some disappointments; that's just life!
Li Yaxi didn't care about Han Weiming's life or death until she boarded the plane back home; it really didn't matter to her anymore.
He had loved and hated, and then came the forgetting. He knew it might take a long time to forget, but at least he could finally begin to learn how to forget.
