Chapter 23 The Noble Academy Substitute (23) It was simply her nightmare...
Xia Zhi struggled in Xie Yi's arms, but Xie Yi's strength was simply too great. Xia Zhi couldn't help but say, "Xie Yi, don't go too far!"
Xie Yi stared intently at Xia Zhi, then chuckled softly after a long while: "Me, going too far? Who's really going too far?"
Just as Xia Zhi was about to speak, Xie Yi suddenly bent down and leaned close to Xia Zhi's cheek.
Caught off guard, Xia Zhi was kissed. She was a little dazed, only feeling the slightly moist touch on her lips.
Before she could react, a figure suddenly rushed up through the doorway. The man, disregarding everything, resorted to his fists, beating Xie Yi until her face was bruised and swollen.
Xia Zhi belatedly realized that this person was Meng Ziyue. Although she didn't know when Meng Ziyue had come in, she could sense his silent anger.
She stared blankly as the two wrestled together, finding it all absurd.
Would two such outstanding individuals, both exceptionally talented, fight over her?
Xia Zhi stood there until her assistant came over to break up the fight, at which point she reacted, rushed forward, and stopped the two of them.
Just as Meng Ziyue was about to call again, she suddenly stopped...
Xia Zhi looked somewhat scared, but she still stopped him.
Meng Ziyue gradually regained his composure and adjusted his glasses.
Xie Yi, whose face was bleeding from the beating, defiantly beckoned to him with her finger: "Want to hit me again?"
Xia Zhi, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "Do you all have to be so childish?"
Looking at the distraught Xia Zhi, the assistant affirmed her thoughts for the first time.
Meng Ziyue looked at Xie Yi, and the two exchanged a silent glance, both of them showing a hint of resentment.
Meng Ziyue glanced at Xia Zhi and saw her serious and troubled expression. He then slowly said, "Zhizhi, let's go. Let's not stay with him."
Xie Yi looked at Meng Ziyue and wiped the blood from his face. Then he stood up and casually straightened his clothes, his movements very slow, clearly not in a hurry.
He looked at Meng Ziyue: "There are surveillance cameras here."
Meng Ziyue chuckled: "I know, and you should know that what you did to Zhizhi just now was also recorded."
Xie Yi hummed in agreement: "And then?"
Meng Ziyue's smile faded slightly; he noticed Xie Yi's smugness. This was his territory, and Meng Ziyue couldn't really take any action against him.
Xia Zhi stopped looking at Xie Yi and instead looked at Meng Ziyue: "Let's go."
Xie Yi's smile froze, and he subconsciously looked away. Xia Zhi avoided his gaze and nudged Meng Ziyue with her hand: "I don't want to stay here anymore."
Meng Ziyue nodded and gave Xie Yi a mocking smile: "Did you hear that, Mr. Xie? Xia Zhi already hates you enough."
Xia Zhi pulled Meng Ziyue away from the office; that kiss was a nightmare for her.
Meng Ziyue seemed to notice Xia Zhi's discomfort, so he comforted her, "It's okay, Zhizhi, it's all over now."
Xia Zhi felt her body tremble slightly; she had truly been frightened.
Meng Ziyue instinctively reached out to comfort her, but Xia Zhi dodged away.
Meng Ziyue's eyes darkened, and he stopped talking to her.
The two walked down the elevator in silence. Xia Zhi just wanted to get back to her apartment as quickly as possible. She looked at Meng Ziyue and said, "I'm going back now."
Meng Ziyue nodded and said, "Go back and rest early."
Xia Zhi nodded, hailed a cab, and got in. Meng Ziyue noticed that she was in a great hurry, so he glanced at her a few more times.
He was about to lose his temper. He kept pretending to be well-behaved, but he didn't get any benefit from it.
Xia Zhi glanced at Meng Ziyue in the rearview mirror. He was staring intently in their direction, clearly deep in thought.
Xia Zhi knew in her heart that he was not a good person.
Xie Yi's behavior today left her somewhat at a loss. She hadn't expected Xie Yi to be so bold as to kiss her in front of so many people.
Xia Zhi subconsciously touched her lips and closed her eyes.
The next few days don't look like they'll be easy.
*
The next day, Xia Zhi came to the company as usual. Xie Yi looked at her with a strange gaze, and a hint of possessive heat.
Xia Zhi avoided his gaze. This time, if Xie Yi forced her again, she was prepared to fight to the death.
Fortunately, Xie Yi only instructed her to do some things.
Just as Xia Zhi was about to leave, she heard Xie Yi say softly, "Zhizhi, Meng Ziyue is terrifying. He's definitely plotting something. You should stay away from him."
Xia Zhi looked at Xie Yi and said warily, "I think you're more terrifying."
Xie Yi froze, her eyes turning somewhat sinister.
Xia Zhi went outside to begin her work for the day.
As the day drew to a close, Xia Zhi calculated the time for taking graduation photos. It was almost time; soon she could feign death and leave this wicked world.
For the next few days, Xie Yi didn't make things difficult for Xia Zhi. On the day of graduation photos, Xia Zhi arrived at school as promised.
According to the original plot, she would die on the street after taking graduation photos.
Xia Zhi even smiled. Although the outcome of faking her death was rather tragic, it had nothing to do with her. She could leave soon.
After taking graduation photos, Xia Zhi couldn't wait to walk towards the road.
But they were suddenly stopped.
Xia Zhi paused slightly and looked at Xu Yu in front of her.
Xu Yu looked at Xia Zhi, his voice a little hoarse: "Zhi Zhi, I'm sorry about what happened a few days ago."
Xia Zhi didn't know which matter he was referring to, but she nodded nonetheless: "It's nothing."
Looking at her indifferent expression, Xu Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart: "Zhizhi, do you really hate me that much?"
Since she was about to leave, Xia Zhi stopped thinking about anything else and looked directly at Xu Yu: "I don't have any feelings for you. I only approached you because you could protect me."
Xu Yu paused upon hearing this, his face turning pale: "You..."
Xia Zhi nodded, looking somewhat innocent.
Xu Yu subconsciously reached out and grabbed Xia Zhi: "Zhi Zhi..."
Xia Zhi dodged the question for a moment: "Xu Yu, I just want to go home."
Xu Yu stared at her blankly for a long time before giving a defeated "hmm".
Xia Zhi walked towards the road, recalling her experiences there. Although every day was painful, she had accomplished her mission.
A car rushed over quickly, and Xia Zhi subconsciously closed her eyes.
She was startled to find someone blocking her way, and then she saw Xu Yu standing in front of her.
Xia Zhi turned around again and saw Xie Yi and Meng Ziyue.
Both of them had an expression of disbelief on their faces.
Xia Zhi subconsciously looked down at the car; her body was already underneath it. She had successfully faked her death in this world, but Xia Zhi didn't move.
Because she realized that the three of them seemed to have lost something most precious, staring blankly at her corpse.
Xia Zhi felt a little reluctant, then looked at the system Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, can we leave now?"
