Chapter 405: Evil (34)
When I saw Qiao Xi again.
A few days had passed, and Bai Zhizhi didn't know what she had done. She just felt that Qiao Xi, who had returned, had become even more incomprehensible to her, and was completely different from before.
And after coming back.
Many people were discussing it in private.
It was said that Zhan Qi from Class 3 had returned the comics they had stolen earlier, unopened. Those who had originally given up hope of getting them back were shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
It was stolen.
They didn't expect to get it back at all, not to mention that Zhan Qi was one of the F4.
Bai Zhizhi was very depressed.
After Qiao Xi came back, he treated her as if she were a transparent person. There were several times when their eyes met, but the girl just looked away and pretended not to see her.
Bai Zhizhi didn't want to care about her either.
But the more Qiao Xi acted like this, the more uncomfortable she felt.
She couldn't explain the uncomfortable feeling, but she wasn't used to being alone at all. Although she knew some senior students, they were not in the same grade.
We only see each other at certain times.
Plus, those senior students also have friends in the same class.
The rest of the time, we can't talk at all.
Looking back, the only person who could be considered a friend around her was Qiao Xi, but now she and Qiao Xi have broken up, and Bai Zhizhi couldn't bring herself to look for her.
We can only stay in this stalemate.
On the other side, Qiao Xi was called to the office by Yan Shen.
The man in front of him had gentle features and a calm and elegant demeanor. His narrow eyes beneath his gold-rimmed glasses held a faint smile, and his hands rested on the desk with his fingers lightly intertwined.
He looked at Qiao Xi.
When the gentle surface of his eyes peeled away, all that was left was icy indifference and disgust. However, even this negative emotion, Yan Shen could disguise it as admiration for the girl.
"You have great potential. I think it would be a shame to let you go."
Yan Shen's voice was gentle and low.
Dark curtains were drawn in the office, and the sunlight that was blocked outside could only leave a gentle and hazy halo, failing to warm the icy cold room.
The atmosphere between the two was a little subtle.
Qiao Xi was even more resistant to his words.
The girl pursed her lips slightly, and closed her beautiful eyes, hiding the light surging in them: "But President, you know why I want to leave."
"Hmm?" Yan Shen looked at her sideways.
There was a hint of confusion in the man's smiling eyes, as if he didn't understand what Qiao Xi was asking.
However, the girl's light voice soon came.
"President, you are the worst person."
Qiao Xi walked around the desk and came to Yan Shen's side. She also clearly felt that when she approached, the pressure on the man who was still maintaining a gentle appearance suddenly dropped.
An invisible and heavy feeling of oppression loomed.
However, Qiao Xi didn't care.
"You knew Zhizhi liked you, but you still invited me in front of her. President Yan Shen, you were the one who was interested in Zhizhi first, and you were the one who kicked her out first."
The girl spoke to herself.
Yi stood beside Yan Shen's office chair with one arm folded, looking down at him.
The hazy light outside the window didn't soften the man's handsome face, but instead made him feel as if he were on the borderline between light and darkness. Shrouded in alternating colors, he could at any moment switch to the unbearable and violent dark side.
"Yeah?"
Yan Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and put away some of his gentleness.
He turned his head to look at Qiao Xi, the coldness and cruelty in his eyes gradually made the elegant smile on the corner of his lips become stained with morbid paranoia and joy.
"That's not right. She likes me, that's her business."
Yan Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.
The man leaned lazily on the swivel chair and turned to face Qiao Xi. His bony hands rested on the armrest of the chair, and his other hand supported his chin, looking relaxed and at ease.
His eyes seemed to be filled with poison.
When it fell on Qiao Xi, it made people feel even more uncomfortable.
Yan Shen's eyes swept across her neck, lingering on the new mark for only a second before moving away. He sneered.
"It's so dirty, how many hands do you have?"
Different from Yan Liang who likes to play.
He didn't have the time or energy to waste in this remote area. In short, these people were not worthy.
He is very picky.
This stuff is unbearable.
Of course, Yan Shen himself had never experienced those things because he believed they were not qualified or worthy.
"But isn't this all thanks to the president—"
Qiao Xi smiled slightly, but was not annoyed.
The girl was thinking about saying something else when there was a knock on the office door, followed by a voice that was very familiar to both of them.
"Um... Yan Shen, are you there? I have something to ask you."
Bai Zhizhi's weak voice came through the door.
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly as if she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the heroine would actually come to find Yan Shen on her own initiative. She must be hopeless.
Do you like it to this extent?
There's nothing much to say about that.
Qiao Xi didn't want to get involved in this trivial matter between them, so she immediately lost interest and didn't even look at Yan Shen, intending to leave.
only.
Suddenly, a force came from her wrist, forcibly pulling her forward. Qiao Xi was caught off guard and her center of gravity was unstable. She stumbled a few steps and was about to fall backwards. Seeing this, Yan Shen did not support her, but stepped aside.
The girl was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Yan Shen turned the chair back into its place and pushed Qiao Xi in with him.
The height of the desk.
Just blocked her.
Before he could recover from the fall, Yan Shen half-forced him to hide under the desk, and the back of his head was hit and it hurt a little.
Qiao Xi frowned subconsciously.
Her vision seemed a little blurry, and she squinted her beautiful eyes to see clearly, only to see the man sitting on the chair looking down at her condescendingly.
Release her wrists.
The pair of almost cold eyes beneath the gold-rimmed glasses were deep and oppressive, a warning and threatening look. However, the voice responding to Bai Zhizhi outside the door was as gentle as the spring breeze in April.
"I'm here, come in."
Qiao Xi: “…”
Her beautiful eyes widened slightly. She never expected this person to be like this.
“Click.”
The outer door opened, then closed softly. Then came the sound of Bai Zhizhi's footsteps, as she seemed to be approaching the desk.
"It's just...long time no see, Yan Shen."
There was obvious nervousness in Bai Zhizhi's voice.
"What's wrong? Why do you come to me suddenly? What do you want to ask me?" Yan Shen's gentle voice also sounded.
Qiao Xi, who fell to the ground, was speechless.
She looked at the chair that had been pulled closer, completely blocking her view. It was dark, with no light visible, and only the sounds of Yan Shen and Bai Zhizhi's conversation continued to reach her.
"That day, I said I liked you..."
Bai Zhizhi seemed to have finally mustered up the courage to bring it up. Her voice sounded very conflicted and embarrassed, but she had finally taken this step.
"You also have feelings for me... right?"
"But why did you invite Qiao Xi to the movies and ignore me as if I were a nobody?"
There was a strong sense of uneasiness in Bai Zhizhi's voice.
She must have thought about it for a long time before deciding to come here to ask Yan Shen for an answer.
Qiao Xi sat on the ground and listened idly.
From time to time, she would glance at Yan Shen's long legs in front of her.
The man's gentle voice came at this time, "Regarding this matter, I am naturally happy-"
But the voice was stuck at an abrupt place and was abruptly cut off.
Yan Shen's body tensed instantly.
When he was about to say that he liked Bai Zhizhi, a small, soft hand reached out silently in the darkness and touched him without any warning.
Wandering quietly.
"What?"
Bai Zhizhi was a little confused.
I don’t understand why Yan Shen’s smile suddenly froze, nor do I know what he wants to say next.
Both hands were placed on the table.
Now that Bai Zhizhi is here too, there is naturally no way to take it away.
But that soft and boneless little hand has begun to advance further, exploring and searching on its own, constantly testing from an ambiguous distance, which is more like a warning.
The softness of light touch.
Yan Shen, who had never been treated like this before, quickly had a different feeling and reaction.
"Of course it's Xi... Xi is more important to me."
He said this with almost a forced smile.
His tense body was stiff and unnatural. When Bai Zhizhi heard these words, she subconsciously took a step back, her face pale and her body shaky.
Her eyes were full of disbelief.
"Why? Is it... because you came into contact with her very early?"
Or was it really as she guessed?
Are they all true?
Yan Shen concealed the slight awkwardness in his eyes, and his tone was not as gentle as when he treated her alone in the past.
"It's not what you think. There's another reason."
Bai Zhizhi naturally noticed this change in attitude.
In the past, Yan Shen was patient and gentle with her, and never treated her perfunctorily, but now she could hear some impatience in the boy's tone.
"…What other reasons could there be?"
Bai Zhizhi bit her lip and asked in a trembling voice.
For some reason, Yan Shen became increasingly annoyed by her persistence.
In addition, Qiao Xi was teasing him intentionally or unintentionally, and had to test him back and forth in the minefield, constantly provoking his rationality.
The soft little hand has quietly reached out.
The seemingly unintentional touch, the delicate fingertips gently outlined the touch. Like a kitten's claws scratching someone, not only was it not offensive, but it was also extremely attractive.
Inexplicable strangeness is rampant.
The dark emotions in Yan Shen's eyes intensified a lot, and the veins on the back of his hand that was resting on the desk were throbbing, but he could do nothing about Qiao Xi's quiet action of holding him.
"No reason, get out."
The low and gloomy voice also scared Bai Zhizhi.
She had never seen Yan Shen so angry, let alone seen him so impatient with her.
Are they really all fake?
Bai Zhizhi still looked at him unwillingly, but he just closed his eyes, his expression unprecedentedly cold. She could only lower her head, swallowing the bitterness in her heart, and turned away.
It turns out that Yan Shen really doesn't like her.
