Chapter 142 The Secret in My Heart
Shen Jiheng was often scolded by her, but she didn't expect that she would still scold him when she was drunk. Just how much hatred had she accumulated in her heart?
Han Xi loosened his collar, shook her head, and said with some disappointment, "No, you are not him, he won't help me."
Shen Jiheng frowned, it seemed that there were many other factors in her heart besides hatred.
He held Han Xi's shoulders, making her face him directly.
"Han Xi, look carefully, I am Shen Jiheng. If you have anything you want to say to me, you can take this opportunity to say it."
Han Xi tilted his head, as if deep in thought, or perhaps observing.
Shen Jiheng moved a little closer so she could see him more clearly.
Unfortunately, Han Xi's pupils were filled with double images, and he couldn't make out who the person in front of him was. He only felt that the outline was very familiar.
This vague outline has been lingering in her mind for years.
If she could forget, she would rather have no memory of this person at all.
She raised her soft hand and placed it on Shen Jiheng's shoulder, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Shen Jiheng, I really want to go back to the day I entered university and give that back to you."
Shen Jiheng was confused and chuckled, asking, "Return what? I don't remember you borrowing anything from me."
Han Xi shook his head and corrected, "No, there is... there is something I've always wanted to return to you."
Shen Jiheng thought carefully and couldn't recall ever lending anything to Han Xi during their university years. In fact, the two of them had no interaction whatsoever.
But why is Han Xi fixated on this question? Could it be that he really gave her something?
"Explain clearly what you want to repay."
Han Xi looked at him with a pitiful expression. Just as Shen Jiheng was staring at her curiously, Han Xi suddenly pounced on him and bit his neck.
Caught off guard, Shen Jiheng pushed her away in pain, but Han Xi wouldn't give up and tried to pounce on him again, so Shen Jiheng had no choice but to pinch her cheeks.
"Han Xi, wake up! I never imagined that your drinking behavior would change so much in just a few years. You've even started biting people."
Han Xi hung her head, her eyes filled with even more sorrow, as if she were being bullied by him.
Shen Jiheng reluctantly let go of her hand. "Alright, I'll let you go, but don't bite again."
Han Xi started sobbing, and looking at her trembling shoulders, she looked incredibly pitiful.
Shen Jiheng softened and asked, "What's wrong with you? And what is it that you keep insisting on returning?"
Han Xi looked at him with a wronged expression. Shen Jiheng saw a dejected mood in her eyes that he had never seen before. Was there something he didn't know?
Shen Jiheng became even more curious and asked again, "Tell me, what is it?"
Tears streamed down Han Xi's face as she choked out, "I want to give you back the love at first sight I felt, so that secretly loving you won't be so tiring."
"What did you say??"
Shen Jiheng wondered if he had misheard. Had Han Xi just said that she had fallen in love with him at first sight?
But everyone at Haicheng University knows that Han Xi and Bo Siye are the official couple, and she's actually saying something like that now.
"I'm so tired, Shen Jiheng. I gave everything to love you, but why don't you love me?"
Han Xi spoke while crying. The emotions she expressed were not those of the current Han Xi, but rather those of the Han Xi she had been when she was in school, with a touch of willfulness and tantrums in them.
"Do you think I married into the Shen family seeking protection through a prescription? No, none of that."
What is that?
Shen Jiheng realized that he seemed to have missed a lot of things.
"It's because I love you. I chased you for four years during college, and I've been married to you for three. The best seven years of my life have been spent loving you. Why don't you know that!"
Han Xi's resentful hatred made Ji Heng's pupils dilate. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Han Xi said that he had been chasing him for four years.
How could this happen? He had no idea.
They say that people speak the truth when they're drunk, and he now wants to know all the secrets in Han Xi's heart.
"Everyone knows you like Bo Siyue, doesn't they?"
Han Xi laughed again, tears streaming down her face.
"How could I like Bo Siyue? I'm just his little follower, we're just..."
Han Xi covered her mouth before she could finish speaking, looking like she was about to vomit.
Shen Jiheng told the driver to open the window and slow down, then put his arm around her shoulder and asked, "Tell me quickly, what are you?"
Han Xi waved his hand in distress, unable to speak at all.
It's all her fault for drinking too fast and not eating anything that night; the alcohol hit her and she couldn't hold on.
But Shen Jiheng was anxious and asked her again, "Han Xi, please continue. I need to know what your relationship is."
If they aren't a couple, why are they creating this kind of relationship? Shen Jiheng needs to figure that out.
Han Xi opened her mouth, about to speak, when the driver suddenly made an emergency turn. Han Xi felt nauseous and vomited all over Shen Jiheng.
Shen Jiheng: "......"
If it were anyone else at this moment, he would have thrown them down.
The driver said in a panic, "President, I'm sorry, a car suddenly drove up just now, and I had to swerve the steering wheel urgently."
Shen Jiheng's feelings were complicated, and he couldn't vent his anger.
Seeing that Han Xi had fallen asleep in his arms and that the car was a mess, he waved his hand, not wanting to say a word.
He just wants to know what happened, but with Han Xi like this, he probably can't get any information out of him.
The next day.
Han Xi woke up with a headache. She rubbed her temples and opened her eyes, finding the ceiling familiar, especially the chandelier.
Wait, why is she at the Shen family villa?
Han Xi propped herself up and was surprised to find that she was completely naked, and what was even more terrifying was that there was someone lying next to her on the pillow.
She mechanically turned her head, and when she saw the face clearly, she grabbed the blanket and quickly dodged to the side, a sudden movement that startled the sleeping person.
Shen Jiheng opened his panda eyes and couldn't help but tease her for her posture.
Why are you making that face? Are you afraid I'll eat you up?
Han Xi grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, angrily saying, "What's going on? Why am I here? And where are my clothes?"
Shen Jiheng yawned, sat up wearily, and didn't know how to describe Han Xi's antics last night.
Han Xi gritted her teeth in anxiety: "I'm asking you a question, answer me quickly."
Shen Jiheng winked at her and said, "Han Xi, think carefully about what you did last night."
Han Xi said angrily, "No matter what I did, you shouldn't have brought me back and taken off my clothes. What kind of behavior is this? I can sue you."
Shen Jiheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, "If we're talking about suing someone, I should be the one suing you for harassment."
These words confused Han Xi. Shen Jiheng stepped forward and said, "I kindly gave you a ride last night, but you threw up all over me and in the car. Just the cleaning fees alone cost me a lot."
Shen Jiheng added, "Also, you should remember the outfit I wore last night. It was a limited edition handmade by a top designer, costing eight figures. You ruined it, so you should compensate me for the price."
Han Xi felt a little guilty listening to this; could it be that what he said was true?
