Hua Xuanhe: ...
What was he supposed to say?
Indeed, people shouldn't lie.
Just as he was thinking about how to explain, Hua Xuanhe's phone rang.
He answered the phone, listened for a few minutes, his expression changed slightly, and he said to the driver, "Back to the manor."
Upon hearing this, the driver made a U-turn at the next intersection, preparing to return to St. John's Estate.
Seeing that Hua Xuanhe had become serious, Shi Xi stopped asking about going to the airport and whispered, "How about you drop me off on the side of the road?"
"Leaving a girl like you on the side of the road late at night?" Hua Xuanhe said, "I'm sorry, I can't do such a thing."
"When you pass by the hotel, could you drop me off?" Shi Xi asked tentatively.
"Stay at the manor tonight, and you can go wherever you want after dawn tomorrow," Hua Xuanhe said.
Shi Xi thought about the splendor of St. John's Manor.
Oh right, part of this estate is open to the public as a hotel.
With that thought in mind, Shi Xi leaned back in her chair with peace of mind.
At least I don't have to worry about where to stay at night anymore.
However, Xie Yunzhou has not yet replied to her message.
What's wrong with him?
Even if someone dies, shouldn't there be an obituary?
Shi Xi was scrolling through her phone.
The more I look at it, the angrier I get.
If it weren't for the fact that Xie Yunzhou risked his life to save her, she would have really wanted to beat him up!
Could it be that he was too badly injured and didn't want her to worry?
Shi Xi then sent a message to Ning Yu, asking if Xie Yunzhou would suffer any long-term effects from his injury.
For example, a crooked neck, kidney problems, etc...
Ning Yu replied quickly.
The reply was only two words: 【Maybe.】
Huh?!
Has he really become disabled?
Is that why you're avoiding her?
I'm so touched!
Shi Xi sent Xie Yunzhou another long message.
The gist of it is: even if you fall and become disabled, and can never get out of bed again for the rest of your life, I will still take responsibility for you.
I have no way to repay the life-saving grace.
The only way is to repay him with my body.

Xie Yunzhou looked at the messages Shi Xi kept sending and pressed his temples in exasperation.
He wanted to distance himself from the relationship, but Shi Xi was overthinking things.
But one can imagine that there is still a vast chasm between the two of them.
Xie Yunzhou lowered his eyes and began replying to Shi Xi's messages.
I saved you this time, so we're even. Let's not contact each other again.
Hopefully, the girl won't cry too much after seeing this.
Xie Yunzhou put down his phone, trying not to feel sorry for the girl.
...
"Meow~"
The sudden sound inside the car made Hua Xuan turn his head.
Shi Xi blinked and said, "It was my phone that rang."
Hua Xuanhe: The notification sound is quite unique.
This notification sound was a message notification sound that Shi Xi had set up specifically for Xie Yunzhou.
This means Xie Yunzhou sent her a message!
Shi Xi's eyes lit up instantly.
She knew Xie Yunzhou wouldn't ignore her!
Shi Xi opened her phone and read Xie Yunzhou's reply over and over in disbelief.
What does it mean to "even things out"?
Shi Xi recalled that when she first arrived, she had casually saved the main villain.
Let's just say that she saved Xie Yunzhou that time.
So, Xie Yunzhou's kindness towards her all this time is all because she saved him back then?
This time, Xie Yunzhou risked his life to save her, just to repay the debt of gratitude he owed her.
Shi Xi wanted to make the call, but when she saw that she was the one sending the messages in the chat history, she stopped.
As Shi Xi slowly scrolled up, she saw that she was the one sending the messages.
It turned out that it was all wishful thinking on her part.
What about that confession back then?
What did it mean when we agreed that I would be the first person to fall in love?
My heart is throbbing with pain.
When she wanted to be in a relationship, Xie Yunzhou left without hesitation.
How carefree!
In the end, the clown turned out to be Shi Xi herself?
Tears streamed down my face, landing on the phone screen.
