Chapter 19 The Noble Academy Substitute (19) You haven't been with a man yet...
Chapter Nineteen
“I will make things clear to Xie Yi’s parents. They might come after you, but if you go too far, along with the other two, you might not be bothered by anyone.”
Xia Zhi quickly realized what she meant and nodded: "I understand what you mean."
Xie Ningyu smiled and said, "Good that you understand."
Xia Zhi suddenly looked at Xie Ningyu: "Why did you give me advice? Why did you help me?"
Xie Ningyu's hand on the steering wheel paused slightly. It was a turn, and he turned smoothly without answering.
Xia Zhi didn't force him; as long as she could get rid of them, that was enough.
Xie Ningyu suddenly said, "Don't ask me yet, I haven't said I have to agree to your request."
Xia Zhi was stunned.
Soon, the two arrived at the beach. The beach was somewhat gloomy at night, with waves occasionally crashing against the sand and making a rustling sound.
Xie Ningyu parked the car by the sea and turned to Xia Zhi: "Get out of the car and come with me to see the sea first, and then I'll consider whether I should agree to your request."
Xia Zhi could only reply, "...Okay."
The two got out of the car, Xia Zhi following behind Xie Ningyu. Xie Ningyu suddenly slowed down deliberately, walked to Xia Zhi's side, and couldn't help but sigh, "So, why did you take the initiative to approach them in the first place?"
Xia Zhi was slightly taken aback. She must have approached them initially because of the mission. But she couldn't say it directly, so she made up a few excuses: "Because I... I was afraid of being bullied, so I sought refuge."
Xie Ningyu chuckled: "But you didn't expect to provoke three lunatics, did you?"
Xia Zhi nodded. She hadn't expected that their years together would lead to such an obsessive love for her from the three of them. According to the original plot, they would fall for the female lead upon meeting her, and she would become a substitute.
However, she didn't expect the plot to be so strange. But no matter what, as long as she gets to the end where she fakes her death, she should be able to leave this place.
Xie Ningyu didn't press her for more questions. Instead, she stopped and gently sat down on the beach. "I used to be bullied a lot too."
Xia Zhi was a little surprised when she heard this: "Are you often bullied too?"
Xie Ningyu chuckled and said, "What kind of expression is that? Of course, people will bully me because of my status."
Xia Zhi chose to sit down, and she turned her head slightly to look at Xie Ningyu with curiosity.
Xie Ningyu sighed, "Xie Yi is different from me. He can't understand your feelings. He has been pampered since he was a child, and everyone likes him."
Xia Zhi nodded: "It's also because of his status."
Xie Ningyu said, "I'm different from him; I understand you better."
After Xie Ningyu finished speaking, he turned his head slightly, his eyes smiling. Perhaps because the light was too dim at night, Xia Zhi felt that his eyes were a little intense.
Xia Zhi keenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere, so she subconsciously stood up and said, "I'll go for a walk over there."
Xie Ningyu didn't stop her, but said calmly, "At this time of day, there might be traps set by tourists on the beach. If you walk in the dark, you might fall in."
Xia Zhi stopped in her tracks upon hearing this. She turned around and sat down defiantly: "Then what will it take for you to help me?"
Xie Ningyu chuckled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I already said I'd chat with you."
Xia Zhi looked at him. The light was a bit dim, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He just stared at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi looked away uncomfortably, but then heard Xie Ningyu's voice, slightly hoarse: "Xia Zhi, you're so beautiful."
Xia Zhi felt her face getting hot. Just as the two were at an impasse, Xie Ningyu's phone suddenly rang.
Xie Ningyu raised an eyebrow slightly, then answered the phone.
It's a thank you.
Xie Yi's voice was calm: "Uncle, is Zhizhi your place?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Ningyu looked at Xia Zhi, who was looking at him nervously.
Xie Ningyu smiled and said, "Hmm... let me think about it."
Xia Zhi widened her eyes, signaling Xie Ningyu not to speak carelessly.
Xie Ningyu then spoke up, saying, "He's not with me."
After a moment of silence, Xie Yi spoke again: "You're at the seaside? Which sea?"
Xie Ningyu was taken aback, and then realized that Xie Yi must have heard the sound of the sea.
He could only reply perfunctorily, "In some sea area nearby? What's wrong, Xiaoyi?"
Xie Yi's voice was a little cold: "Are you planning to stay out all night? I'm coming to find you now, and I roughly know which sea you're in."
Xie Yi hung up the phone, and Xie Ningyu stared at the phone in astonishment, lost in thought. Xie Yi was truly angry; he could tell.
Although Xie Yi always addressed him as "uncle" as a distant relative, only he knew that Xie Yi was not afraid of him at all.
Xie Yi was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His parents were overjoyed when he was born and made many sacrifices for him.
Even Xie Yi's grandfather, whose face was always cold and ruthless, showed a slight smile.
Xie Ningyu was undoubtedly envious of him. At this moment, he looked at Xia Zhi and suddenly had a bold idea.
Xie Yi likes Xia Zhi so much. If he makes a move on Xia Zhi, will he be angry?
Xie Ningyu looked at Xia Zhi with a half-smile: "What should we do? It seems like he knows where I am."
Xia Zhi's face turned pale upon hearing this. Xie Yi and the others had come looking for her, and she didn't know what they would force her to do. She didn't want Xie Yi and the others to come to her door, and she didn't want to get entangled with them.
"Don't you have to go to work tomorrow? You should just go home obediently." Xie Ningyu curled his lips, deliberately trying to scare her.
Xia Zhi subconsciously tugged at Xie Ningyu's collar: "They found me, and I don't know what they'll do to me. I don't want to live in the same villa as Xie Yi, and I especially don't want to be his personal assistant."
Xie Ningyu looked down at Xia Zhi's fair hands, raised his eyebrows with interest, and then said, "Although I just agreed, I can go back on my word at any time."
Xia Zhi was shocked by Xie Ningyu's shamelessness, and she felt her thoughts were in disarray. If Xie Ningyu went back on his word, there was really nothing she could do.
Xia Zhi suddenly said calmly, "But you've already angered Xie Yi by taking me away. I can tell Xie Yi that you kissed me on purpose to make him angry."
Xie Ningyu was speechless upon hearing this. He stared at Xia Zhi's bright red lips and laughed in exasperation: "I kissed you on purpose? Little girl, you've never kissed a man before, have you?"
Xia Zhi felt her face getting hot, then she mustered up her courage and said, "I can put on some lipstick and pretend that you kissed me. Xie Yi is already angry, so when she hears me say this, she won't think too much and will just go after you for revenge."
Being alone with a man and a woman on the beach, Xia Zhi felt insecure, but this was the only method she had left, even if it angered the other person and was detrimental to herself.
Xia Zhi appeared calm, but was actually very nervous inside.
She was waiting for his reply when Xie Ningyu looked at her, then suddenly moved closer and lowered his voice, saying, "In that case, I might as well just kiss you. Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
