065 Xie Ziyu's real age
Huo Yanxi stood up abruptly and staggered toward the door of the consultation room.
The next second, Lu Zhi grabbed his wrist.
"Yanxi, don't be so quick to deny yourself. Actually, this isn't a bad thing, is it?"
Huo Yanxi's face turned ashen, and he stared at Lu Zhi with a cold gaze.
“My attachment to the warmth given by others, and my use of her as a substitute for Manman, is a desecration of Manman and a desecration of my feelings for Manman.”
"I won't allow it!"
Looking at his obsessive and crazy expression, Lu Zhi's heart sank.
He was Huo Yanxi's psychologist, and he knew better than anyone how deep Huo Yanxi's obsession with Chi Xiaoman was.
He wouldn't allow himself to treat anyone as a substitute for her, and this high moral standard would also become a shackle on his ability to start anew.
But……
Chi Xiaoman is already dead.
Back then, when Pei Yan went to investigate Chi Xiaoman's whereabouts, he discovered that she had died.
At that time, Huo Yanxi was suffering from severe anorexia and insomnia. In order not to upset him, he and Pei Yan made up a story, saying that Chi Xiaoman went to the mainland with a man to develop her career.
With the mainland being so vast, Huo Yanxi's search for someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
They thought that by making up a story, they could dispel Huo Yanxi's obsession, but they underestimated his feelings for her.
Lu Zhi pressed him down into the treatment chair and saw that the skin exposed by his collar was covered with bruises.
He couldn't help but frown.
"Yanxi, do you want to die?" Lu Zhi grabbed his collar with both hands and pulled it to both sides.
The buttons popped open, revealing a patch of pale skin covered in bluish-purple marks; it was almost impossible to see any healthy flesh.
Lu Zhi was heartbroken. "Huo Yanxi, do you really not want to live anymore? You're even trying to kill yourself. Have you ever thought about what might happen if you quietly die in that dark room one day?"
Huo Yanxi looked utterly dejected. "So what if I die? No one will care if someone like me dies."
Lu Zhi glared at him intently. "What nonsense are you spouting? Aren't we human?"
Huo Yanxi curled his thin lips into a bitter smile.
“It’s different. You don’t know what she means to me.”
Back then, she insisted on divorcing him, even disregarding the need to sever all ties with him.
At that time, he thought that he must make a name for himself and stand at the top.
He wanted to make her regret it.
But now, he stands at the highest point, while she has disappeared into the vast sea of people.
He doesn't want her to regret it now; he just wants her back by his side, even if she doesn't love him anymore.
Lu Zhi felt heartbroken. "Yanxi, is there any point in torturing yourself like this? She has no idea."
Huo Yanxi's smile was bleak. "I don't want her to know or to gain her sympathy. It's just that this way, I'll feel a little better."
He could still bear the physical pain, but the pain in his heart tormented him to the point of madness.
Lu Zhi squatted down in front of him, raised his hand, wanting to touch the bruises, but was afraid of hurting him.
He's only human, how could he be so cruel to himself?
Just then, the door to the consultation room was pushed open, and Song Wu stood in the doorway.
"Lu Zhi, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Wu's voice caught in her throat as she saw the scene in the examination room.
Depend on!
What exactly did she see?
Is this something she can watch without spending money?
"Song Wu, knock before you come in, don't you know that?" Lu Zhi's forehead veins throbbed.
He was especially annoyed by Song Wu's gossipy expression.
Song Wu quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here... please continue."
After saying that, she slammed the door shut, quickly went back to her bedroom to find Lu Zhi's clothes to change into, grabbed her bag, and ran away.
That's too presumptuous of you!
Lu Zhi looked straight as an arrow, but it turned out he was gay, and the person he was gay with was Huo Yanxi, the famous head of the Huo family in Hong Kong.
This huge piece of melon is enough to choke her.
Did Lu Zhi sleep with her last night? Does that mean he's bisexual and a total scumbag?
Huo Yanxi's eyes were red just now, were they crying from anger?
Is Lu Zhi just trying to coax him?
It’s over!
She never imagined that she would be Huo Yanxi's love rival in her lifetime; this was truly a bittersweet experience.
In short, she decided to run away first.
She can't afford to offend either of these two!
After calming Huo Yanxi down, Lu Zhi came out of the consultation room and saw Song Wu carrying her bag and running away.
He chased after it to the elevator entrance, but only managed to see it going down.
He put one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead.
He and Song Wu had been mortal enemies for many years. He might not be the person who knew her best, but he definitely knew her better than the average person.
Her gaze just now clearly indicated that she had misunderstood his relationship with Huo Yanxi.
Damn it!
If Song Dazui dares to talk nonsense in the industry, he will definitely... he will definitely kiss her lips until they are swollen!
Lu Zhi returned to the consultation room, and Huo Yanxi's emotions seemed to have calmed down.
He handed him the water glass, saying, "Have some water."
Huo Yanxi took the drink, lowered his head to take a sip, and raised an eyebrow at Lu Zhi, "Who was that just now?"
“My mortal enemy,” Lu Zhi said coldly.
Huo Yanxi narrowed his eyes, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the scratches on his chest.
"It doesn't look like it."
Lu Zhi didn't want to talk about his own affairs, so he asked Huo Yanxi, "What are you planning to do next? Refuse to eat the food that mother and son cooked and continue to starve yourself?"
Huo Yanxi did indeed have this plan.
He cannot indulge in this false satisfaction and squander his feelings for Chi Xiaoman.
"No, Yanxi, do you have a bit of a sadistic tendency? Why are you torturing yourself like this?"
Previously, since there were no meal replacements available, he could only receive nutritional injections for his anorexia.
Now that someone can recreate the taste he remembers, why shouldn't he accept it?
Huo Yanxi's gaze was cold and deep. "You wouldn't understand me."
Lu Zhi truly didn't understand his thoughts. "Then...would you drive that mother and child away?"
"Why would I drive them away?" Huo Yanxi asked, puzzled. "I still have the most basic sense of contractual obligation."
Xie Yaoyao is here to tutor Huo Zidu. The two months are not over yet, and he can't possibly switch tutors halfway through.
Lu Zhi: "..."
It seems that Huo Yanxi only reacts strongly to things that touch his emotions.
well!
Chi Xiaoman was still his biggest worry.
If he knew that Chi Xiaoman was dead, the consequences would be unimaginable. Now he actually hoped that the mother and son could distract him from his feelings for Chi Xiaoman.
Huo Yanxi left Lu Zhijia's house and went to the company.
Pei Yan knocked on the door and entered, first reporting his itinerary for the day, and then handing Huo Yanxi an investigation document.
"Mr. Huo, this is the information you asked me to investigate about Teacher Xie yesterday."
Huo Yanxi glanced at it indifferently, "Put it on the table, I'll look at it in a bit."
Pei Yan placed the documents on his desk, paused, and then mentioned something interesting.
"Mr. Huo, Teacher Xie's son looks about six or seven years old. Guess how old he actually is?"
Huo Yanxi frowned. "Isn't he six or seven years old?"
Pei Yan shook his head, "He'll be five years old at the end of this year. What do you think Teacher Xie has been feeding him? He's growing so fast!"
