"In the end, this whole thing is my fault. He was the one who got the chance. Let's just deal with him and not drag other innocent people into this."
This is the difference between people.
Henry, as wicked as he is, never hesitates to harm others and never hesitates to wipe them all out.
Kind-hearted Xu Zhe, however, thought only of settling scores and grievances, and not wanting to involve the innocent.
Yi Tianran became even more certain that this was her grandmother's grandson, kind as she was but not weak, and had his own self-discipline and bottom line.
She couldn't help but chuckle softly, "You don't really think I'm going to go after his family or hurt his sister, do you?"
"Isn't that right?" Xu Zhe was stunned for a moment, somewhat dumbfounded. "Then why did you say that to Henry?"
"Of course, it's to scare him on purpose, to make him live in fear and have no peace day or night. Who told him to be so arrogant?" Yi Tianran said with a serious face, "I am a respectful and law-abiding ordinary citizen, not some domineering CEO who can make even a super king lose his temper with just one sentence."
Xu Zhe: "..." That's too cheeky!
Yi Tianran smiled and leaned closer: "Looking at his terrified expression after being tricked, don't you feel relieved?"
Thinking about it this way, Xu Zhe actually felt quite relieved.
Tonight was truly thrilling and exciting; recalling those moments, he still feels lingering fear.
But at this moment, he formally opened his heart to Yi Tianran, "Tonight, thank you..." Thank you for saving me despite your own safety. Why are you so good to me?
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Tianran's phone rang first.
Upon seeing the incoming call, her eyes sparkled. She quickly told him to wait a moment and ran to the side to answer the phone.
As soon as the call connected, before Fu Yunchen could speak, Yi Tianran said softly, "I'm fine now. I didn't have time to report to you in time, and I'm sorry to have worried you."
A gentle voice drifted in on the night breeze: "Yes, I know."
She had already learned from the bodyguard that she had safely rescued Xu Zhe, but Fu Yunchen still needed to hear her voice before he could feel completely at ease.
Even though they were separated by a phone and she couldn't see his expression, Yi Tianran felt as if she could guess what he was thinking.
"The matter has been mostly resolved. I sent Xu Zhe's hair back. Could you help him and his grandmother get their DNA tested? Once I get the results, I'll come back."
I'm coming back to you.
Fu Yunchen, I miss you so much, can you feel it?
Having just experienced the feeling of someone she cared about being coerced, Yi Tianran's mood suddenly softened at this moment.
"Okay." Fu Yunchen gazed at the night view outside the window, his eyes filled with tender warmth. "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."
It is said that this is a refined way of expressing one's feelings.
Yi Tianran's cheeks suddenly felt hot as she looked up at the sky.
The sky over Country V was pitch black, but she lied through her teeth, saying, "Yes, the moonlight here is beautiful too."
Suddenly, a sexy, magnetic laugh reached my ears, as if he had seen right through me.
Fu Yunchen didn't expose him, but said gently, "Go back and rest early, good night."
Yi Tianran smiled sweetly: "Good night."
When I returned after hanging up the phone, I heard Xu Zhe ask in a strange tone, "Were you talking to your ex-lover?"
Yi Tianran: "..." What old flames and new flames? Kids these days are so gossipy.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Xu Zhe thought to himself, "You told me not to say anything, but don't make it so obvious!"
She would come back from a phone call and smile like a blooming flower, making one feel both bittersweet and heartbroken.
He knew he had no right to object and that he didn't think he would like men, which is why his feelings were so complicated.
All the emotions I had been building up inside me were swallowed back down.
"Let's go back!"
...
Lying in his dormitory bed that night, Xu Zhe tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The scenes from today echoed in his mind, and he was deeply moved by the thought that Fu Ran was willing to risk his life for him.
However, he foolishly fell into a trap for her sake. What is the true nature of this relationship...?
The icy temperature brushed against his cheek, startling Xu Zhe so much that he jumped up from the bed.
"you……"
Seeing Yi Tianran standing by the bed with a beer in her hand, grinning smugly, he was speechless. "What are you doing up so late at night?"
“I bet you can’t sleep either, after all, you were quite frightened. How about we have a couple of drinks?” Yi Tianran not only had to consider the child’s self-esteem, but also his physical and mental health.
Xu Zhe did indeed want to find a way to vent, so he had no reason to refuse.
I picked up an ice-cold beer and gulped down a whole bottle. Still not enough, I picked up another glass and chug it down.
Seeing that he was about to pick up the third bottle, Yi Tianran quickly reached out and pressed down on the back of his hand, "Wait, this is wine, not water. You don't need to drink so much!"
Xu Zhe seemed to be provoked, slapped her hand away, and said angrily, "Can you please stop touching me all the time? Anyone who doesn't know better would think you're after me and taking advantage of me!"
Yi Tianran looked completely bewildered: "Huh?"
Xu Zhe, however, seemed to get excited. "What are you pretending to be innocent for! You've been helping me nonstop since the first day you arrived. You've been so kind to me for no reason. I'm not heartless! Of course I'm touched!"
Yi Tianran: "..." This doesn't sound like something the usually reserved and brooding boy would say!
"Can't you...stop doing things that make me misunderstand?" Xu Zhe's face gradually flushed red, and he said sadly, "You've made my heart flutter. You're clearly a man, how could I possibly be attracted to you? Besides, I already have someone I like."
Yi Tianran looked shocked: "Xu Zhe, you..."
"Shut up, let me finish!" Xu Zhe slammed the beer bottle on the table, his cheeks flushed, and said aggressively, "Let me tell you, my sweetheart is wonderful. She's strong yet gentle, beautiful and noble, kind and considerate... In short, she embodies all the good things in the world. I like Qin Yao, I love her!"
Yi Tianran: "..."
Hearing the other person's emotional confession to her online persona, the person involved said she had mixed feelings.
"But...but I clearly like her so much, so why am I attracted to you!" Xu Zhe blinked his eyelashes, his expression pained and conflicted. "I clearly only like girls, but your appearance, your kindness to me, time and time again, is driving me crazy, you know?"
Help!
Yi Tianran really didn't know that!
She thought Xu Zhe could only forget "Qin Yao", but she never expected that even though she had become a boy, she could still win the heart of a young man.
Yi Tianran couldn't bear to drive the child crazy.
He frowned, muttering her two pseudonyms incoherently.
"I can't tell who I actually like! Have I made the same mistake that all the scumbags in the world make—liking two people at the same time?"
