Chapter 173 Xie Tong x Xie Yi: One Step Away 3
Xie Yi raised his head, looked at the face he had been thinking about day and night in his dreams, kissed her, licking and biting her lips wantonly.
Xie Tong hit him hard, but he clamped her hands and pressed her against the dining table. Her breath was taken away and she felt as if she was suffocating.
Unable to struggle, Xie Tong stepped hard on his foot. Xie Yi let go of her slightly, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Are you crazy?"
Xie Yi looked aggrieved and asked in a low voice, "Can you please stop pushing me away..."
"Xie Tong, I can solve the problems you don't want to solve. It doesn't matter if you keep avoiding me, but can you please not push me away? Just take one step towards me, just one step."
Xie Tong's eyes sparkled with tears, "Xie Yi, I was just using you before, do you understand?"
"I just want to find someone to join the company for me. I don't want to be trapped by anything, including marriage."
"I know everything." Xie Yi said.
Xie Tong was startled, and then he heard him ask, "What about now?"
"Do you feel it when I kiss you?"
"Why do you think about getting married?"
Without waiting for her answer, Xie Yi sealed her lips again. He thought, it doesn't matter if Xie Tong doesn't take that step towards him.
She had taken this step a long time ago. A long time ago, in that muddy alley, she walked into his world, and from then on, she became his whole world.
Xie Yi picked her up and walked towards the bedroom. They both fell on the bed. His kiss became chaotic and his breathing became rapid. After a while, he suddenly stopped moving.
His hot breath sprayed on his neck. Xie Tong pushed his head and said, "Xie Yi, Xie Yi?"
Xie Tong: …
I don’t know whether to praise him or scold him for being able to fall asleep at a time like this.
Xie Tong was speechless and pushed him off him. Just as he sat up, Xie Yi grabbed his wrist and pushed him down again. Then he held him tightly in his arms.
She had never been held like this while sleeping, but for some reason she didn't dislike it. But in fact, when Xie Yi carried her to the bedroom just now, she already had the answer in her heart.

I drank too much last night and my stomach felt like it was on fire. Xie Yi woke up very early. When he opened his eyes and saw the person in his arms, his brain froze for three seconds, and then everything that happened last night came to his mind bit by bit.
He stiffly pulled back the quilt a little, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both of them were wearing clothes.
Xie Yi covered her with a blanket, got out of bed, cleaned himself up, and prepared to go back to Xie's house.
He comes back once a week, and my parents have gotten used to it. After all, they have raised him for several years, so it is impossible for them not to have feelings for him. They always make preparations in advance every time he comes back.
Xie Yi put the things he brought on the table. Xie An glanced behind him and asked, "Are you back?"
"Yes, uncle." Xie Yi was a little nervous. He knelt down in front of Xie An with a plop.
"Uncle, I want to pursue Xie Tong."
"What did you say?!" Xie An's voice suddenly increased, and he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Xie Yi raised his head and said in a firm and resolute voice, "I want to pursue Xie Tong. If possible, I want to marry her in the future—"
“Pah—”
A powerful slap hit his face and Xie Yi almost fell down.
"What a mess!"
"How could you have such thoughts about Tongtong!"
"Or did you plan this a long time ago? Does Tongtong know that you are so dirty?!"
Xie Yi looked calm, "She knows."
Xie An threw the newspaper on the sofa at his face. "So?"
"Since you're asking me, I'm telling you it's impossible! It's impossible in this lifetime!"
"What if I can get her to stay?" Xie Yi asked.
Xie An glared at him with cold eyes, "Xie Yi, you are not worthy and you have no qualifications."
"Of course I don't agree with Xie Tong running around the world, but you don't have the qualifications to make her stay."
"Uncle, I will prove to you that I can."
Xie An snorted coldly and ignored him, walked past him to the study and slammed the door.
Before he came, he had anticipated this result, and Xie Yi stood up despite the pain in his legs.
As soon as I got back to the car, my assistant called me, "Boss T, Mr. Zhang suddenly changed his mind about the cooperation we agreed to yesterday and said he would no longer cooperate with us."
"I see." Xie Yi said calmly, "It may be more than just them. Let everyone be prepared. If they want to leave, give them their wages and compensation."
"boss….."
"That's it for now."
Xie Yi hung up the phone and saw several missed calls from Xie Tong on his phone. He called back, "Hello."
The other end of the line was very quiet, with only the sound of light breathing, "Where have you been?"
"Sorry, I've been a bit busy these past two days."
Xie Tong suppressed his anger in his voice, "Xie Yi, what do you mean?"
"Tongtong, can you... wait for me, at most a week, I——"
"I'm waiting for you! I'm waiting for you, you big-headed ghost!"
The call was hung up, and there was a series of lonely beeps. Xie Yi looked at the message sent by his assistant on his mobile phone that several companies had cancelled cooperation.
Even though this road is difficult, he will continue to walk on it.
But the situation was far more serious than he had imagined. After Xie An expressed his stance, no one dared to cooperate with him anymore, and some even refused to see him.
Just when he was at a loss, he received a call from Lin Shulang.
Shi handed him an order that was enough for him to gain a foothold in Beijing. Shi's attitude also gave everyone a signal.
After signing the contract, Xie Yi looked at Lin Shulan in confusion. Regarding this cooperation, Shi's had more and better options. He didn't understand why Shi's wanted to get involved in this mess at this time.
"Assistant Lin, can I ask the reason?"
Lin Shulang smiled faintly, "Our lady hasn't been home for three days."
"I wish you success soon." He nodded and left with the documents.
Xie Yi's slow brain took a while to react and finally understood something.
Less than half a day after Shi announced the cooperation with him, the attitudes of those people changed instantly, and the company came back to life. Xie Yi understood that this was just the beginning.
At six o'clock in the evening, Xie Yi waited downstairs of Xie Tong's dormitory and saw Xie Tong and Shen Chutang coming back together arm in arm.
Shen Chutang greeted him with a smile, but was pulled past him by Xie Tong as if he didn't see him.
"Tongtong, let's talk."
Xie Tong stopped in his tracks, and when he turned back, his eyes were red. "Xie Yi, I told you I won't wait for you."
Shen Chutang looked left and right, then secretly pulled his arm out, quietly walked to the side, distanced himself from them, and then ran away.
Xie Yi grabbed Xie Tong's wrist and said, "Tongtong, if you hadn't waited for me, you would have left long ago."
"What do you want to talk about? I've given you a chance. Who would confess their love one night and disappear the next day? Xie Yi, who do you think I am?" Xie Tong struggled twice, but he held his wrist even tighter.
"I went back and confessed to my uncle."
"Are you sick?! Why are you confessing to him when I haven't even agreed to anything?!"
As more and more people gathered around, Xie Tong shook off his hand and got into the car, "Xie Yi, are you a fool?"
"Did he hit you?"
Xie Yi shook his head, "No."
"Do you think it's fun to lie to me? Sometimes he even hits me, so why wouldn't he hit you?" Xie Tong sneered, folding his arms and looking out the car window.
Xie Yi leaned over, and Xie Tong subconsciously put his hand against his chest, "If you dare to kiss me today, you're dead."
Xie Yi said nothing, pulled the seat belt over and fastened it on her, "No kissing today."
Xie Tong pushed him away and said, "You're so annoying."
"What did you tell him?"
Xie Yi answered truthfully, "I told him that I want to pursue you."
"That's it?" Xie Tong sneered. She really overestimated this fool.
"Um."
"Tongtong, I know I'm not good enough, and I don't have the qualifications to ask you to wait for me. Can you...can you let me stand by your side?"
He spoke sincerely and self-deprecatingly, as if just being by her side was enough.
"I know you like freedom. Nothing in this world can hold you back. I am the same. I will support you no matter what you want to do. Just remember that I will always be here waiting for you."
"Just do what you like. Whether you choose to stay here after graduation or want to continue traveling around the world, it's up to you. I'll take care of it for you uncle and aunt."
"Who asked you to solve it?" Xie Tong's expression changed slightly, "Go home."
"Go back to my house."
Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, then did as he was told. He didn't know what Xie Tong and Xie An talked about that day. The two chatted for a long time, until the moon was high in the branches.
That night, Xie Tong took his hand for the second time and asked him to go home together.
He had longed for a home with a loved one.
Two years later, at Shen Chutang and Shi Chengyu's wedding, Xie Tong threw the bouquet into his arms.
Xie Yi had never dared to hope for these things, so when he subconsciously hugged the bouquet, the huge surprise made him lose the ability to think.
"Can I?" he asked in a low voice.
Xie Tong glared at him and said, "No, just throw it away. There are many people who want it even if you don't want it."
Xie Yi hugged the flowers tighter, and as soon as the wedding ceremony was over, he took Xie Tong back to the hotel room. Due to the tight schedule, he only had time to ask his assistant to buy flowers and rings.
Xie Tong was pulled by him to stand in front of the huge French window with a confused look on his face. "What are you doing?"
Xie Yi unskillfully picked up the ring on the table, then knelt on one knee in front of her, "Tongtong, I know this is a bit hasty, and I also know you may not be ready."
"This is the first time. I will propose ninety-nine times until you are willing, until you are really ready. If you haven't said yes by then--"
Xie Tong snatched the ring away and said, "Are you stupid? Why should I give you the bouquet if I don't want to? Do you want me to be the one to propose?"
"Xie Yi, can you please stop being so self-deprecating? I never meant to look down on you. Stand up and talk to me."
Xie Yi was a little bit unbelieving, his eyes were a little wet, and he stood up. Xie Tong handed him the ring and then stretched out his hand to him.
Without hesitation, Xie Yi held Xie Tong's hand and put the ring on her. In an instant, tears began to fall from his eyes.
"Tongtong, thank you, thank you for giving me this world." Xie Yi held her in his arms, feeling the resonance of their heartbeats.
He had been in this world for many years, but he did not own this world until the moment Xie Tong saw him.
