Chapter 19: Self-love
"ah--"
Zhang Qi screamed.
Sheng Yize threw his dislocated arm away and stepped on his dislocated joint, his whole body filled with rage.
Everyone present was frightened by this sudden situation and came forward to dissuade them.
Chen Yi hurried forward, put his hand on Sheng Yize's shoulder, and stepped on the back of Zhang Qi's hand that was lying on the ground unintentionally, and crushed it hard.
"Hey, Brother Sheng, don't be angry. It's just a game. Don't take it seriously." Chen Yi squatted down and patted Zhang Qi's dislocated arm with worry in his eyes. "Brother Qi didn't mean it, did he?"
Zhang Qi was in so much pain that he couldn't utter a word.
The people in his group also came over to try to stop the fight.
"Yes, Mr. Sheng, Zhang Qi just said it casually, please forgive him this time."
"Yes, we were really unlucky today and kept losing. Brother Qi just couldn't accept it, so he said you cheated. He was also confused because of the loss, so don't mind it."
…
Sheng Yize glanced at them coldly.
The two of them shut up in shame.
Hao Jun heard the noise and ran to the private room again. He saw Zhang Qi lying on the coffee table with his arm dislocated. After understanding the whole story, he spat at Zhang Qi.
With a big smile on his face, he quickly pleaded with Zhang Qi: "Master Shengsheng, that's enough, we all know each other, don't make it so ugly. For the sake of my birthday today, will you let him go?"
Sheng Yize looked at Hao Jun and glanced at Sang Sui who was standing in the crowd.
Her face was pale, and she seemed to be frightened by his action.
Sheng Yize retracted his foot and turned back to sit on the sofa.
Lean back, cross your legs, and close your eyes.
Hao Jun waved his hand to signal the two people: "Go, go, send Zhang Qi to the hospital quickly."
The two men reacted and carried Zhang Qi out of the private room, one in front and one behind.
After Zhang Qi left, everyone looked at each other and then dispersed.
Zou Jin glanced at Sang Sui and seemed to understand something.
He came forward, with a cheerful look on his face: "Brother Sheng, let me thank you on behalf of Sang Sui!"
The man opened his eyes slowly, his icy eyes were chilling.
"Who are you, replacing her?"
“…”
Sheng Yize raised his eyes and met Sang Sui's gaze.
As if dodging something, he turned his eyes away, stood up, and walked out with big strides.
When passing by Sang Sui, he paused slightly.
Sang Sui looked worried and was about to speak, but the man had already looked away and walked out of the private room.
"Sheng Yize!"
Sang Sui hurriedly chased after him.
Zou Jin was angry and speechless: "Chen Yi, did Brother Sheng eat firecrackers today?"
Chen Yi was speechless. He glanced at him and followed him out.
Zou Jin also chased after him: "Hey! What did I say wrong?"
-
Sheng Yize seemed not to hear her voice and kept walking.
Sang Sui trotted after him and found that he had come to the open-air balcony.
She paused and stared at his back in a daze.
The balcony is large and curved, surrounding the entire wall of this floor.
There is a rest pavilion on top, with some potted flowers and plants placed around the pavilion.
Even though it’s early fall, the flowers and plants haven’t completely withered yet. They’re still colorful and lush, showing that someone is taking care of them regularly.
Sheng Yize stood there with her on his back, his hands on the railing, his body leaning forward.
The hostility emanating from the figure was drowned out by the night, and as it gradually relaxed, only anger, confusion, struggle, and pain remained...
She heard what Zou Jin said to him.
He did not deny the meaning of Zou Jin's words "he stood up for her", but he also did not admit that he taught Zhang Qi a lesson under the pretext of playing games for her sake.
Sang Sui looked at his back and clenched his fingers.
She took a deep breath and walked up slowly.
Hearing the footsteps, the man turned his head to look at her, and when his eyes fell on her face, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face.
He turned his eyes away and looked at the night market which was bathed in bright lights.
"Thank you."
She mustered up her courage and finally spoke.
The man lowered his eyelids slightly, his eyes full of mockery.
He turned to face her and sneered, "What are you thanking me for?"
Sang Sui's face turned pale: "I..."
"Do you think I beat Zhang Qi because of you?" Sheng Yize's face darkened a little, "Don't be so self-indulgent."
Sang Sui was stunned.
The four words "self-indulgent" were like a sharp knife, stabbing into her heart.
Her eyes instantly turned red.
She smiled, trying to make herself look less embarrassed.
"sorry."
But as soon as she finished speaking, the tears in her eyes still fell uncontrollably.
Sheng Yize's eyes flickered slightly, he looked away stiffly, and turned to look at the dazzling night market.
Sang Sui wiped the tears from his cheeks.
"I was really being sentimental."
After all, he never admitted it throughout the whole process.
He hated her to begin with, so how could she dare to believe...
Is he standing up for her?
She looked up at him. The man's lips were tight and his profile was straight and hard, making him look even more inhuman.
Sang Sui pursed his lips and smiled, pretending to be relaxed: "It's okay, Zhang Qi got a lesson, I'm very happy."
"Thank you because I am happy."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Sheng Yize tightened his fingers on the railing and his eyelashes drooped.
He is probably...
Really crazy.
-
Chen Yi caught up with her, and seeing Sang Sui about to leave, he grabbed her arm.
Seeing her red eyes, he was surprised: "You..."
Sang Sui quickly wiped the wetness off his face, pursed his lips and smiled.
Chen Yi's eyes showed heartache, and he patted her shoulder: "Don't cry, Brother Chen Yi will avenge you!"
Sang Sui shook his head: "It's okay, I'll go first."
After saying that, she turned sideways and left.
Chen Yi sighed and walked towards Sheng Yize.
On an October night, the cool breeze blows gently on my face, and it feels a bit like icy prickles.
Chen Yi walked to Sheng Yize's side, put his hands on the guardrail, leaned slightly, and looked at the brilliance and hustle and bustle of the night market.
He turned his head and glanced at Sheng Yize beside him.
The man seemed very irritable, and the cigarettes burned one by one between his fingertips.
The air was filled with smoke, and the pungent smell of cigarettes entered his nose, and his irritability seemed to be diluted a lot.
It's a waste to light it but not smoke it.
After a moment, Chen Yi said, "Sheng Yize, stop deceiving yourself."
Sheng Yize paused and looked at him, his brows slightly knitted.
Chen Yi stood up straight, turned to face him, glanced at Sang Sui who was squatting there, and sighed.
"You know better than anyone who taught Zhang Qi a lesson."
Sheng Yize was silent for a while, then turned away: "She is not worthy of me doing this at all."
"But you did it anyway."
“…”
Chen Yi turned and looked into the distance.
"You keep saying you hate Sang Sui, that she's annoying, and that you don't even want to see her."
"But every time, you can't ignore her."
"Last time it was the yacht, that time it was Qiuyue Li, this time it was Zhang Qi."
"Every time," Chen Yi laughed, "it's related to Sang Sui."
Sheng Yize's eyes sank, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Sheng Yize, we grew up together, I know you too well."
Chen Yi smiled and stated the facts: "You don't hate Sang Sui at all."
“…”
-
When Lin Luoluo came over, she found Sang Sui squatting there with his hands on his knees.
Her heart ached, and she stepped forward quickly: "Sui Sui..."
When Sang Sui raised her head, Lin Luoluo realized that her eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.
Lin Luoluo glared at Sheng Yize in the distance, cursing, "Let's get up first."
Sang Sui staggered to his feet and saw Sheng Yize and Chen Yi walking towards him.
She quickly turned her eyes away and pretended to leave.
"Sang Sui!" Chen Yi called her.
Sang Sui was about to turn around when he suddenly saw a man running towards him.
The man's eyes were filled with anger, he raised his fist and shouted -
"Sheng Yize, go to hell!"
Sang Sui opened his eyes wide -
"careful!"
A petite figure suddenly pounced over.
The man punched him hard.
Sheng Yize only felt the petite figure in front of him fall down...
