Chapter 49 The Apartment Showdown Day 29 But he took yours to support me…
[Next time? I just saw the message; I'm already home.]
Zhou Jingchi's mind was filled with the messages Xie Ruan had sent him.
Zhou Jingchi took all of this seriously.
He had originally planned to drop by Wen Hezhou's lounge to kill some time.
But unexpectedly.
He was there when he bumped into Xie Ruan, who had just lied to him, saying that she had already gone home.
The air in the lounge was much colder.
Zhou Jingchi glanced inside again.
Wen Hezhou's lounge is not small.
The entrance is not very large.
Zhou Jingchi was already quite large, and when he stood in the doorway, he quickly blocked it completely.
Xie Ruan could no longer find a crack to squeeze out; he could only bury his head and try to minimize his own value.
But the room was only so big; how could Xie Ruan possibly outdo Zhou Jingchi in his scrutiny?
Xie Ruan felt like Zhou Jingchi was watching her closely, and this feeling was not comfortable.
Xie Ruan's thin, moist lips were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
However, Zhou Jingchi's gaze kept wandering around Xie Ruan and Wen Hezhou.
It landed right on the spot where Xie Ruan was feeding Wen Hezhou, and they were still in a stalemate.
Xie Ruan's fingers trembled slightly, a rare occurrence for someone feeling guilty.
Xie Ruan never expected that Zhou Jingchi would be here.
Xie Ruan's breathing became labored, and she was more certain than ever before that—
Xie Ruan was certain that this time, his trembling wasn't just due to social anxiety, but also... a guilty conscience.
Xie Ruan didn't want to lie to Zhou Jingchi.
Xie Ruan sensed that Zhou Jingchi's gaze had shifted to his backpack.
It's just right, because Wen Hezhou gave away so much merchandise.
Xie Ruan did not zip up his backpack.
Xie Ruan didn't expect that this slightly unzipped zipper would cause a piece of Wen Hezhou's material to fall out.
It's too obvious.
Anyone with even a modicum of eyesight could clearly see everything stuffed into Xie Ruan's bag.
Even someone like Zhou Jingchi, who has absolutely no interest in Wen Hezhou's surroundings.
That's enough to make it clear.
Xie Ruan's body trembled more and more violently.
Xie Ruan felt as if she was being deprived of her breath.
Xie Ruan's mind went blank, and her breathing became erratic, her chest heaving.
He even forgot to retract his hand, naturally causing Zhou Jingchi's gaze to slowly shift to the right... and lock onto the small cake that Xie Ruan was holding.
Xie Ruan's favorite flavor is strawberry.
Zhou Jingchi knew.
Zhou Jingchi looked at Xie Ruan.
Xie Ruan's breathing quickened.
Xie Ruan's fingers trembled slightly.
Before Xie Ruan could react, Zhou Jingchi saw Wen Hezhou grab Xie Ruan's wrist with her left hand and then feed her to Wen Hezhou.
The distance is too close.
Wen Hezhou was clearly not someone to be near, yet he was sitting on the same sofa as Xie Ruan at this very moment.
Lean forward.
Zhou Jingchi even felt that Wen Hezhou might kiss him if he wasn't careful.
Zhou Jingchi's stiff body and the chilling aura became even more oppressive.
Xie Ruan dared not speak.
But the first thing that came to Zhou Jingchi's mind was: a small cake?
Zhou Jingchi's brain was spinning rapidly.
On what grounds?
Zhou Jingchi mentally counted them all.
He doesn't have a particularly good memory.
but……
But he remembered Xie Ruan's matter.
Zhou Jingchi remembered Xie Ruan's matter very clearly.
He naturally remembered that Xie Ruan had fed him small cakes.
Xie Ruan only ever fed him fried chicken.
Why should Wen Hezhou be fed cake?
His relationship with Xie Ruan is the closest one ever!
Zhou Jingchi's eyes reddened slightly, and a strange feeling welled up in his chest.
Zhou Jingchi took a large stride and walked several steps toward Xie Ruan, interrupting their actions.
Zhou Jingchi was very close to Xie Ruan.
The familiar scent of citrus wafts up at the tip of my nose.
Zhou Jingchi saw the red marks on Xie Ruan's wrists, which had been gripped tightly by Wen Hezhou.
I don't know, light, heavy.
That's why Zhou Jingchi didn't want other men to get close to him.
Zhou Jingchi scooped Xie Ruan up in his arms, and before Xie Ruan could react, her legs were dangling in the air.
Zhou Jingchi threw Xie Ruan's strawberry cake on the table beside him: "Where did you kidnap Xie Ruan from?"
How could the delicate Xie Ruan possibly lie?
His Xie Ruan was the most innocent; it must all be other men's fault.
Zhou Jingchi: "He told me he was going home."
Zhou Jingchi: "Why did you bring me to the lounge again? Don't you know it's his rest time?"
Wen Hezhou is a senior.
However, the two families were old friends and had known each other since childhood, making their relationship more ambiguous than that of strangers or friends—neither too familiar nor too distant.
Zhou Jingchi's arrogance wouldn't allow it; in front of Wen Hezhou, he yielded to Xie Ruan, saying, "You even let Xie Ruan feed you little cakes?"
Zhou Jingchi became increasingly angry as he spoke.
Zhou Jingchi: "You're the one who's always bullying him."
Wen Hezhou: "..."
Xie Ruan: "...?" Did Wen Hezhou bully him?
No one responded when Zhou Jingchi spoke.
Xie Ruan's gaze quietly shifted to Wen Hezhou.
Wen Hezhou remained calm and composed.
Being a few years older than Zhou Jingchi made Wen Hezhou more composed. He sat on the sofa, sipping his coffee slowly and elegantly, like a young nobleman.
The atmosphere inside became even more tense.
Xie Ruan couldn't hold back any longer.
He was trembling with guilt, his whole body quivering.
It's impossible for Zhou Jingchi to suddenly start a fight with Wen Hezhou.
However, the difference in physical strength was too great. If Zhou Jingchi chose to fight Xie Ruan, Xie Ruan would have no way to turn the tables.
Xie Ruan was terrified. The more he thought about it, the more suffocated he felt, and his eyes even welled up with tears after recalling Zhou Jingchi's fierce questioning.
he.
He just didn't want Zhou Jingchi to be saddened by the news that he couldn't go.
And there's only one of him!
With so many people inviting him and sending him messages, how could he possibly split it into several groups and go out together?
Xie Ruan felt increasingly distressed as she thought about it, and even her eyes became wet.
Xie Ruan was so focused on feeling wronged.
He didn't even notice the sudden look of surprise on Zhou Jingchi's face when he looked down at him, and the look of heartache that filled his eyes after a moment of stunned silence.
besides……
Zhou Jingchi's misunderstanding.
Zhou Jingchi: "..." Why are Xie Ruan's eyes so red? Wen Hezhou must have bullied him.
Zhou Jingchi: "Xie Ruan is so naive, she definitely wouldn't give up my invitation and come to see you alone. You must have intercepted her."
Xie Ruan: "..." No, please don't steer the conversation here.
Xie Ruan's shaking became even more intense.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingchi became even more confident.
Seeing Xie Ruan trembling, Zhou Jingchi became even more convinced of his guess: "How could you bully him like this? He's not at work today. Even if he were, there's an order to things. Xie Ruan came for me today and got my ticket."
Xie Ruan: "..." I'm going to die...
Xie Ruan thought her plan was foolproof, but she never expected that Zhou Jingchi would reveal his identity to her.
Waaaaah.
Xie Ruan originally thought that Wen Hezhou and Zhou Jingchi had a bad relationship.
Wen Hezhou and Xie Ruan did not have a good relationship.
So Wen Hezhou simply gave him a coupon because he was in a good mood, just to keep him company.
There's no room for other thoughts, and no room for other troubles.
Wen Hezhou will definitely let him go back soon.
Xie Ruancai arrived.
What's more, it's delicious.
There are also limited edition merchandise items.
They are all very valuable.
How could he possibly resist the urge to give it up?
Xie Ruan blinked.
Waaaaah.
He really wanted to ask someone to save him.
However, Xie Ruan only had one close friend, He Leran.
Moreover, He Leran was working in another city at the time and could not come to rescue him.
Therefore, his only option now is—
It's cool.
QAQ!
No way!
Xie Ruan really couldn't accept it; his breathing became disordered.
Xie Ruan didn't even dare to open her eyes and look at reality.
Xie Ruan heard this and chuckled softly.
It was Wen Hezhou's voice: "Pfft."
Wen Hezhou didn't suddenly try to take Xie Ruan from Zhou Jingchi; instead, his gaze quietly fell on the spot where Zhou Jingchi was holding Xie Ruan.
No one could tell what Wen Hezhou was thinking.
He just watched as the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, and he slowly and deliberately rested his cheek on his hand, looking at the two of them.
Wen Hezhou's face was smiling, but his mood was gloomy, making it hard for people to breathe.
Xie Ruan, in particular, felt that the air inside the room was getting thinner and thinner.
Xie Ruan could only pray silently in her heart.
Wen Hezhou, don't expose him.
Please, please.
Xie Ruan opened her eyes pitifully, her eyelashes wet with water droplets.
Perhaps it was because he had been praying with his eyes closed for too long, but Xie Ruan felt that the light source was too bright and she almost couldn't open her eyes.
Xie Ruan was trembling all over. Before he could even see Wen Hezhou clearly in the blinding light, he heard Wen Hezhou's gentle voice.
Wen Hezhou: "The ones you invited... Xie and Ruan."
Wen Hezhou's pronunciation is intriguing.
The oblivious Zhou Jingchi clearly didn't realize what was going on: "Of course, I specifically chose the votes for him, and gave them to him on Thursday."
Thursday.
Wen Hezhou rested his cheek on his hand, his smooth black hair falling down: "What size did you send?"
Wen Hezhou didn't rush to look at Zhou Jingchi and argue with him about ownership. Instead, he quietly turned his gaze to Xie Ruan's profile.
Xie Ruan's entire profile turned red.
Perhaps due to excessive guilt, the frequency of his trembling was different from usual.
Wen Hezhou even noticed Xie Ruan's tense ears.
It was as if he was afraid of missing something, which would lead to his utter ruin.
It will only make people...
More, like, bully, bully.
Wen Hezhou's gaze shifted upwards, and he suddenly met Zhou Jingchi's eyes.
He heard Zhou Jingchi's confident voice: "Number 8."
Wen Hezhou smiled casually, his gentle voice brushing past their ears: "But Xie Ruan, you're sitting in seat number 7."
Zhou Jingchi frowned: "..."
Zhou Jingchi's fingers tightened slightly.
He originally thought that Wen Hezhou wouldn't care about Xie Ruan.
As a result, Wen Hezhou counted Xie Ruan's positions.
What does this mean?
Zhou Jingchi frowned: "Wen Hezhou? You still sold tickets to Xie Ruan? He works as a nanny and doesn't earn much to begin with. Are you trying to extort money from him?"
There wasn't much money to begin with!
Xie Ruan: Thank you for the invitation. A monthly salary of 100,000 is considered not much money? Zhou Jingchi, I really thank you. Thank you to all of you rich people.
Wen Hezhou chuckled softly.
He seemed very interested in what Zhou Jingchi had said.
Zhou Jingchi, however, did not see through Wen Hezhou's scheme and continued: "Did you tell Xie Ruan that number 7 had a better view and then persuaded him to buy number 7? How could you bully Xie Ruan? He could only make a pittance anyway."
Xie Ruan: ...a pittance...
Xie Ruan: QAQ! Do rich people call a job that pays 100,000 a month like this? He can't take it anymore, he really can't take it anymore, waaaaaah.
Zhou Jingchi: "I'll pay for whatever amount of money you took from Xie Ruan."
Xie Ruan stated—
Although Zhou Jingchi completely misunderstood, he really thanked Zhou Jingchi QAQ!
Xie Ruan was being held by Zhou Jingchi.
Because the two of them were constantly targeting each other.
Xie Ruanxin felt a little relieved.
Xie Ruan looked at Wen Hezhou, unaware of the pleading look in his eyes.
He just desperately hoped that Wen Hezhou wouldn't betray him.
Wen Hezhou glanced at Xie Ruan's intense emotions, his voice as warm as a gentle breeze as he whispered in his ear, "I didn't take any money."
Zhou Jingchi: "So you've taken over your fans?"
Zhou Jingchi: "Is the person sitting in number eight someone you originally invited?"
Zhou Jingchi was too engrossed in his own reasoning.
Xie Ruan was so frightened that she dared not utter a sound.
He thought he had done a good job of pretending not to recognize Jiang Zhi.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Jingchi even saw it from the people around him.
They even specifically counted the number of seats he was sitting in?
Will Zhou Jingchi recognize Jiang Zhi?
He almost got into a fight with Jiang Zhi over coffee a while ago...
QAQ!
Is Zhou Jingchi a time management master?!
Today's variety show was full of jumping and games, and he still managed to pay attention to these details.
Xie Ruan had no choice but to speak up.
He thought that it was better for him to confess than for Wen Hezhou to say it: "Um, no, it was Teacher Wen's vote... yes."
Wen Hezhou interrupted: "Yes, I gave you the number 7 ticket."
Zhou Jingchi: "?"
Xie Ruan: "?"
Wen Hezhou: "Maybe it's been changed. I thought Xie Ruan was the one who drew the lottery."
Zhou Jingchi: "No, he only swapped with your fans to see my position. Xie Ruan and I are best buddies. You can't compare."
Wen Hezhou slightly curved his eyebrows and looked at Xie Ruan thoughtfully.
Xie Ruan felt a chill run down her spine instinctively.
Xie Ruan didn't know why Wen Hezhou was willing to help him.
He didn't even mention that the ticket was given to him by Wen Hezhou, or that he had received two tickets from two other people.
Xie Ruan didn't seem to be that familiar with Wen Hezhou.
When Xie Ruan looked up in a daze and met Wen Hezhou's gaze, her fear vanished, leaving only astonishment.
Xie Ruan was still looking at Wen Hezhou with surprise, still wondering why Wen Hezhou had helped him.
In a gap where Zhou Jingchi couldn't see, Wen Hezhou parted his thin lips slightly.
Zhang He several times.
Xie Ruan didn't quite understand it.
But he could only make out the faint sounds of his lips.
He understood Wen Hezhou's meaning—
You owe me a favor.
*
A long time passed.
Xie Ruan, realizing what was happening, thought: It's more than just owing someone a favor.
Xie Ruan: There's more to it than that.
But Wen Hezhou has already done a great job in helping him out of this predicament.
At least, Zhou Jingchi's side doesn't need much explanation.
and.
Does Wen Hezhou have any feelings for him?
He can definitely pay it back!! At least it's much better than what Zhou Jingchi discovered!!!
After Xie Ruan finished calculating the accounts, her breathing became much more stable.
Xie Ruan tried to comfort herself as Zhou Jingchi carried her out of the lounge.
Xie Ruan was still thinking—
Fortunately, Wen Hezhou came to his rescue.
Instead, Wen Hezhou and Zhou Jingchi got into a fight.
And I know that he agreed to two people's requests at the same time and received two tickets at the same time.
even……
Jiang Zhi also learned that the reason he couldn't insert his ticket was because he couldn't use it.
fine.
Things aren't that bad yet.
He offended Wen Hezhou.
Instead of Zhou Jingchi and Wen Hezhou...
And Jiang Zhi.
Otherwise, you'll offend the main characters, plus the main character who's the dominant one.
For a mere nanny like him, this was an absolutely terrifying ordeal.
Xie Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.
I sighed again, thankfully he was smart enough to send Jiang Zhi away first.
After all, who have these people offended?
He can't afford to offend anyone. Jiang Zhi—who can even easily handle villains.
Thank goodness! Jiang Zhi knows nothing about it!!
I left early!!
Zhou Jingchi whispered something in Xie Ruan's ear.
Xie Ruan hadn't had a chance to listen yet.
Just as I turned my head, I suddenly bumped into a figure.
Xie Ruan was so engrossed that she didn't even notice the voice.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside you: "You guys."
?
Xie Ruan followed the familiar voice and looked over.
I just happened to hear the second half of the man's sentence: "What are you doing?"
*
Black hair.
Black eyes.
Deep-set facial features.
A high, straight nose.
An imposing presence.
He is 192cm tall.
And, as is standard in this book, there is the electric wheelchair, which is not very convenient for mobility.
Xie Ruan almost pinched his philtrum: "..."
Isn't this Jiang Zhi, whom he said was alright and hadn't discovered yet?
he.
Is he a jinx?
Why does everything I think about come true?
Is it in this river?
Xie Ruan dared not think about it anymore.
He subconsciously closed his eyes, imagining that everything he was experiencing was an illusion.
However, Xie Ruan opened her eyes.
What Xie Ruan saw was still Jiang Zhi sitting in a wheelchair.
He carried Zhou Jingchi as they went out.
And then there's Wen Hezhou, who's about to leave, leaning against the doorframe as if he's watching the excitement first.
QAQ?
Could a nanny really handle this situation?
He's really begging you all.
Can you please let him go?
Xie Ruan was still thinking when she saw Zhou Jingchi pointing his finger at Jiang Zhi: "Pei Zhi, what are you doing here? Why are you in a wheelchair?"
Did you just realize that?
Last time, Pei Zhi was in a wheelchair with Zhou Jingchi at the villa.
Xie Ruan dared not speak.
Jiang Zhi completely ignored Zhou Jingchi: "Weren't you going back? What are you doing here?"
Pei Zhi, whom Xie Ruan mistook for Jiang Zhi, was still sitting in a wheelchair, impersonating Jiang Zhi. Xie Ruan, who shouldn't be there, was already in Zhou Jingchi's arms.
The feeling of suddenly seeing someone next to you and being embraced by them is not pleasant.
Xie Ruan could even feel her scalp tightening more and more.
But the men clearly didn't let him and each other off the hook.
Zhou Jingchi: "Pei Zhi, you don't need another nanny. Is it necessary to keep bullying Xie Ruan? He just came to rest and couldn't take care of you, so you followed him all the way here. Isn't that going too far?"
Zhou Jingchi completely misunderstood.
Pei Zhi seemed to have no patience to explain to him, and simply swept his cold gaze over Zhou Jingchi.
Zhou Jingchi didn't want to let it go.
Xie Ruan was still thinking about how to explain when she saw Pei Zhi suddenly stand up.
Wait?
Isn't he lame?
Before Xie Ruan could react, Pei Zhi snatched her away and kicked Zhou Jingchi to the ground.
Holding Xie Ruan in his arms, he quickly sat in the wheelchair and ran away.
Xie Ruan's brain went blank: "..."
Is his eye playing tricks on him?
How did this person just get up and steal his things?
Xie Ruan was completely disoriented in Pei Zhi's arms.
As the man drove up to the Panamera, he suddenly said, "It's normal for a lame person to be able to stand up occasionally."
Xie Ruan: This isn't right! This is completely wrong!!
Xie Ruan expressed her disapproval with both her hands and feet.
Unexpectedly, the man's lips curled slightly, and without even putting on an act, he picked up Xie Ruan and got into the car.
Zhou Jingchi was also running wildly behind them.
The man seemed to be deliberately waiting for Zhou Jingchi to come closer.
Zhou Jingchi was standing by the door and window, just about to take the opportunity to come in and argue with the man.
Just as Zhou Jingchi was about to put his hand on the car door, the man seemed to stop at the perfect moment.
rub.
one time.
Tell the driver to step on the gas.
They ran away.
Zhou Jingchi watched helplessly as Xie Ruan was abducted.
Zhou Jingchi: "Pei Zhi! I will never forgive you!"
Zhou Jingchi stood with his hands on his hips and spoke into the car exhaust.
Wen Hezhou, however, slowly got into his car, not joining the two of them.
Wen Hezhou sat in the back seat.
Zhou Jingchi's car didn't come over.
When I saw Wen Hezhou beckon with his finger.
Zhou Jingchi walked towards Wen Hezhou almost subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, Wen Hezhou's car was exactly the same as Pei Zhi's. Just before Pei Zhi arrived, panting, and before he could put his hand on the door handle, the driver sped off.
Zhou Jingchi: "..." He, Zhou Jingchi, will never forgive Wen Hezhou and Pei Zhi in this lifetime!
Zhou Jingchi stood there, laughing in exasperation.
When the remaining images of Jiye popped into my mind.
Zhou Jingchi also stated: He and Ji Ye are sworn enemies!
That's why he said back then that even dogs wouldn't go back to No. 7 Seaview Bay.
Zhou Jingchi had been close friends with the three men since childhood, but the three of them had never gotten along.
Simply put, Pei Zhi is the perfect child. He excels in everything from childhood to adulthood, and his pace is different from everyone else's. While others play in the mud, he has mastered eight languages. While others play games, he is learning piano, painting... and even finance.
So at a young age, he became an all-rounder.
Zhou Jingchi originally thought that Pei Zhi was a bookworm who stayed at home all the time and never went out. He couldn't possibly beat him in sports, could he?
As a result of one match.
Zhou Jingchi lost.
Zhou Jingchi suspected that Pei Zhi was genetically predisposed to evil.
Otherwise, why would Zhou Jingchi only have 24 hours in a day? Pei Zhi, on the other hand, seems to have 1024 hours in a day, which is unbelievable, even though he and Pei Zhi are almost the same age.
Zhou Jingchi originally thought that he only didn't get along with Pei Zhi.
So, when his family tried their best to let him play with other rich kids when he was a child, Zhou Jingchi was in contrast to Ji Ye, who always had a stern face, wore strange ripped clothes, wore blinding earrings, made strange music, and silently showed that he was a genius music trendsetter.
Zhou Jingchi thought that Wen Hezhou was a normal person.
He felt that he might be able to become friends with Wen Hezhou.
Unexpectedly, the sons of wealthy families are either bad-tempered, extremely talented, or extremely... people.
If Zhou Jingchi said Pei Zhi was an extreme genius.
Ji Ye is a musical genius with an extremely reclusive personality who is obsessed with his extreme art.
Zhou Jingchi felt...
Gentle on the surface...
Wen Hezhou.
What impressed him even more than his genius was...
Extreme...
people.
Zhou Jingchi even suspected that Wen Hezhou was mentally twisted.
After all, someone who, from a young age, can be fascinated by laboratories, studying anatomy, and even has a room full of anatomical models...
Zhou Jingchi thought so.
He doesn't seem like a normal person.
Zhou Jingchi had always thought that Wen Hezhou would be a doctor.
Inherit the family's medical business and contribute to the medical field.
But he...
He became an actor.
Zhou Jingchi cannot, like on the internet, posit that Wen Hezhou is a gentle and mild-mannered person.
After all, every time he saw Wen Hezhou, he could picture Wen Hezhou as a little kid who was already experimenting on mice.
That was the guinea pig he played with at Wen Hezhou's house for three days!
His best friend!!
Zhou Jingchi and Wen Hezhou are sworn enemies!
Zhou Jingchi had nothing to talk about with Ji Ye and Pei Zhi either.
If it weren't for Xie Ruan.
He will never associate with these people again in his life.
Zhou Jingchi was bewildered in the wind.
Completely unaware, Wen Hezhou's car was leisurely following Pei Zhi's car at that moment.
Pei Zhi still held Xie Ruan in his arms.
Xie Ruan felt that the atmosphere around her had become much colder.
Xie Ruan trembled involuntarily.
Pei Zhi remained expressionless.
Xie Ruan was still trying to figure out how to explain everything that had just happened.
Then Pei Zhi took off his coat and draped it over Xie Ruan.
Pei Zhi raised his eyes and glanced ahead.
The driver immediately understood and turned up the air conditioning temperature.
The relationship between Xie Ruan and the "Jiang Zhi" in front of her is very subtle.
Xie Ruan had expected the man to ask him everything—his tickets, why he was with someone else, and even why he had invited her.
But the man said nothing.
She simply moved closer, her voice soft and almost insincere, and asked, "Are you still cold?"
Xie Ruan shook her head stiffly.
The man seemed unwilling to ask anything.
Xie Ruan asked, as if possessed, "You, how come you're back?"
Xie Ruan was extremely uneasy and panicked, unable to think of any other questions, but he regretted it as soon as he asked them.
He felt that this topic would actually lead to men asking him questions.
Xie Ruan should shut up.
Xie Ruan steeled herself and subconsciously lowered her head to minimize her presence.
But the man subtly curled his lips where Xie Ruan couldn't see, and then tugged at Xie Ruan's hair with his finger: "Assistant Li said that no one will be at the villa to pick you up."
Xie Ruan: "..." That's true.
The man leaned closer, his minty scent extremely pleasant. "I happened to be in Assistant Li's car, and since it's an event and it's hard to get a taxi here, I came to pick you up."
Nestled in the man's arms, Xie Ruan listened to his explanation, so tenderly cared for that she was speechless: "..."
What does he think?
Are the men different from those in the original work?
It's not as scary as it seems.
It's even a bit out of character (OOC)?
Is this really reasonable?
Xie Ruan's trembling has lessened considerably.
The man then tidied his hair, which had been disheveled from his frantic running, and picked it up, playing with it for a while before speaking in a cryptic tone: "You probably couldn't get a taxi, so you ran into the event venue to look for Wen Hezhou and Zhou Jingchi, right?"
Jiang Zhi is so familiar with Wen Hezhou and Zhou Jingchi?
Xie Ruan was somewhat surprised.
He had many ideas in his mind.
She was hoping to have an excuse to explain why she abandoned him and went to find someone else.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingchi had already come up with his own words.
Jiang Zhi had also figured out his motives for his actions.
This explanation is much better than his clumsy one.
QAQ! Xie Ruan looked at Pei Zhi with immense gratitude and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
He believed everything Jiang Zhi said.
They didn't see the corner of Jiang Zhi's mouth curl up silently at all.
Fleeting.
Then, the man casually opened his phone.
I saw a message sent by Zhou Jingchi from the Pei Clan's back office—
[Zhou Jingchi]: Pei Zhi, don't be so smug. Aruan came to see me today especially! I gave him the tickets to my event.
The message sent by Zhou Jingchi seemed to carry a strong assertion of sovereignty.
The man looked out the window and raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly interested in the text on the screen.
[Zhou Jingchi]: Pei Zhi! Even if you come after me, in Xie Ruan's heart, I am still more important.
[Zhou Jingchi]: I am Xie Ruan's best brother.
Pei Zhi's lips curled slightly as he looked at Zhou Jingchi's repeated emphasis on the same point.
Slowly and methodically typed a line of small text, then sent it.
[Pei Zhi]: But he uses your tickets to support me^^.
