Chapter 419: Evil (48)
Memories of the past overlap with the present.
Looking back, it seemed like a dream, unreal. She still remembered waiting for the music class to end, thinking of the boy who didn't have an umbrella.
She hurried downstairs.
Braving the splashing raindrops, I went downstairs and saw the cold boy leaning against the wall in the corridor, looking at the rain outside with an empty expression.
The picture that was slowly sketched out from memory gradually emerged.
It was also at that time.
He was pushed into a dead end by his rage.
The tangled emotions and the pain of the past resurfaced as I looked at this familiar scene: the empty and silent corridor, the same rain as that day.
The scene brought back memories for no reason, and I thought of the pain he had once inflicted.
Thought of it again.
The last time I saw them was a pair of eyes that were so gentle that they were almost heartbreaking.
a lot of.
She couldn't let go of the pain and suffering he had caused her, nor could she forgive him. She also couldn't forget the tenderness he had shown her when he decided to let her go, so that she wouldn't be soft-hearted.
Why do I always have to be covered in bruises?
Only then can you realize the naive feelings that you are unwilling to admit but have already sprouted?
He finally realized the feeling.
I had just learned the clumsy gentleness and immaturity, and before I could even make amends and repay her, I had to atone for my violent past self.
An entangled evil fate.
It ended in that way.
Qiao Xi burst into tears as she watched the rain, still struggling with her painful and tangled emotions. However, she was caught off guard by Yu Zhi, who saw her in that state. Even her panicked disguise seemed like a joke.
Wrong.
Wrong again.
She shouldn't have fallen, nor should she have panicked. Her heart was in turmoil, and she ran away.
The cold rain came down.
The water quickly soaked through her clothes, making the originally light fabric feel incredibly heavy. Qiao Xi ran away, not looking back, not daring to look back.
I don’t know how to face it.
This is a very contradictory emotion. Are all people so complicated?
Yu Zhi looked at her fleeing back with his eyes slightly closed, until Qiao Xi's figure completely disappeared from his sight.
He then slowly opened his umbrella and leisurely walked towards the car that had been parked outside waiting for him.
Changed.
Just as he thought, Qiao Xi had really changed a lot.
Yu Zhi sat in the car, leaning against the soft seat, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his lips.
In that confusing kiss, what filled my mind more was the desire to see her embarrassed and broken down.
But I didn't see it.
Instead, I saw the girl lost in thought and sadness.
He felt uncomfortable for no reason, and he didn't see Qiao Xi's emotional breakdown and loss of control, driven crazy by him. He could only see the girl running away in a panic.
Collect your thoughts.
Yu Zhi looked out the window at the rain, feeling rather listless, and recalled everything he had done. It wasn't anything excessive, just something to kill time and have some fun.
He neither committed murder nor arson, nor did he agree to play with other people's feelings.
Which target does Yan Shen like?
They would get in touch, treat those people better, and then they would confess their feelings. However, he would often reject them after they confessed their feelings. It didn't matter. Zhan Qi would simply reject them to the point where he couldn't even meet them.
Is this bad?
Yu Zhi supported his chin and looked at the rain outside the window thoughtfully.
Except for Yan Liang, who would agree to date a few people just for fun, either holding hands or hugging.
There was also Yan Shen's brief one-day love experience card. For the rest, he and Zhan Qi would reject any confessions of affection from those who were moved. There was no physical contact at all. If you really want to say it, you are really sorry for anyone.
The only person Zhan Qi feels sorry for is probably Qiao Xi.
What about him?
Yu Zhi recalled the first time he met Qiao Xi. He used some tricks to get close to Qiao Xi, and he probably felt a little sorry for her.
but--
When the girl was being bullied and verbally abused, it was he who pulled Qiao Xi out of the predicament and took her away.
When the girl was covered in wounds, it was he who applied medicine to Qiao Xi.
Seeing Qiao Xi's unusually well-behaved and docile appearance, Yu Zhi, who had never been interested in that kind of thing, became interested for the first time and asked her for some compensation.
Qiao Xi may not know.
He looked so calm and composed, but he gave her his first kiss and the first time they did that.
He couldn't accept the girl who had been touched by Zhan Qi.
However, it is a bit of comfort to actually occupy the clean place that belongs to me.
It's more about caring.
Why did Qiao Xi, who was already not clean, attract Yan Shen's attention?
In fact, it seemed that even he himself was attracted to it unconsciously?
When I realized this belatedly.
Already kissed.
Just being angry for no reason.
It's really a contradiction, because he is not a completely evil person, nor is he completely bad.
Therefore, when it comes to verbal attacks that do not cause substantial harm, we need to consider whether to retaliate in a different way.
Qiao Xi hid under the eaves.
With a blank expression, she grabbed her clothes and wrung them out, then cast another spell. She was caught in the rain, but since her body was a stand-in, she wasn't worried about getting sick or catching a cold.
That was the scene she showed Yu Zhi.
From Yu Zhi's perspective, she probably felt that she loved Zhan Qi terribly.
And from her perspective.
F4 had never physically harmed any girl before, but this was the only time they started to change. Bai Zhizhi was the one who had to bear the brunt of this, but now Qiao Xi had completely diverted the blame.
And she herself did things that Bai Zhizhi would not do with her personality.
In a subtle way.
Quietly change these people's attitude towards her.
Zhan Qi, the only one who caused her any substantial harm, was eliminated first, and Yu Zhi, who was good at using verbal attacks on PUA, is now beginning to be caught.
On the surface, she and Yan Liang are in a cooperative relationship.
Now we can see signs of a deterioration in relations.
As for Yan Shen, who was the direct cause of all this, there is no need to mention that he was both resentful of her and had a possessive crush on her, and there was also a score that had not been settled.
Qiao Xi had already muddied the waters.
Unknowingly, the relationship between the F4 has become increasingly alienated and separated. After finishing the final performance before the curtain falls, they can smile and watch the dog-eat-dog fight.
【Have you never been soft-hearted? 】
The little black cat system is eating melon in space.
Although they couldn't understand human emotions when watching the big screen, the picture looked very similar to the scene in the TV series "The rain is so heavy, you hurt me so deeply".
To make others fall into the play, you must first deceive yourself.
Qiao Xi took out an umbrella from her bag with a calm tone, opened it, and walked home slowly and leisurely.
I couldn't even fool myself and couldn't get into the role and move to the emotions.
So how do you get others to empathize?
What's the point of such poor acting? Is it possible that such low-level and awkward acting is full of loopholes that everyone can see?
So she took the role very seriously.
Allow yourself to empathize, fully express the pain of what you have experienced, and truly express it. As a victim, you will naturally be able to quickly get into the business state.
It's something I've experienced myself.
What she performed was nothing more than the psychological changes that a normal girl would go through.
What kind of expression should I use? What kind of attitude should I adopt?
What kind of psychological changes will a normal girl undergo after encountering such a thing?
Like Stockholm syndrome, you are self-abusing and unable to extricate yourself from falling in love with the person who hurts you. Such struggle and painful emotions will eventually make you suffer from psychological torment and walk out of it, or you can't help crying.
While hating my own powerlessness.
Unable to let go of such feelings, did you finally choose to accept the other person?
Normal mode has these two options.
However, Qiao Xi neutralized the situation. She did not show any forgiveness to Zhan Qi, nor did she give him any hope.
But the character 'Qiao Xi' she played was indeed moved. She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and couldn't forgive him, but she really loved him.
so.
At some time of a certain day, a familiar scene.
It touched my heart and reminded me of the way he had treated me in the past and the harm he had done to me. I also remembered the pain and struggle I was experiencing now, knowing that I was deceiving myself by loving him and that there would be no result.
As it should be.
I just shed tears.
This was a decision she made after careful consideration, not to block the road too tightly. She was determined to live and die with him, yet she could fully display such sorrow and embarrassment.
Gives an illusion.
At least the acting department in the first world was not in vain.
【……】
The little black cat system smacked its lips and didn't know what to say for a moment, while the little white cat system patted it as usual.
The host himself has that kind of personality.
She watched all this happening indifferently as if it had nothing to do with her, but everything that happened was closely related to her.
The innocent kindness disguised as a little devil character, and the occasional mischievous little bit of evil, always make those who are willing to take the bait unable to stop and willingly step into the trap.
So in the original world, it would be said...
She is really a tea art sister who loves to travel and play, and is a full-fledged green tea.
It won't really hurt yourself.
She can also sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, watching those seriously ill people who want to truly possess her being fooled by such schemes.
What does green tea mean?
The Little Black Cat System couldn't understand this word for a moment.
【I'll find it for you】
The Little White Cat System decisively went to the Baidu Encyclopedia and posted the search results for it to see.
It generally refers to a woman who has a pure and otherworldly appearance, always has long flowing hair, appears to have no makeup on in public, pretends to be pitiful, harmless, and living a peaceful life in front of others, but is actually prone to illness, disasters, and sentimentality, while behind the scenes she is good at scheming and playing with people's feelings.
[Here, like this]
It looked at the search results and pushed them to the Little Black Cat System.
【……】
The little black cat was speechless for a moment. It had always thought that Qiao Xi was playing the role of a gentle, pure, harmless and weak white lotus.
So you were deceived too.
The little white cat system looked at it with pity. This system still had too little experience. It wouldn't work.
"Then, isn't that kind of 'Brother, you won't be angry, right?' a true green tea character?"
[That kind of thing... can only be said to be entry-level]
There are also those that are easy to see through and embarrassing for others, the ones that are too deliberate and make people realize it quickly. Men are not stupid, of course they can see it at a glance.
Unless your intelligence is lowered.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.
Those with a high level of skill can basically go beyond the scope of green tea, and can even be said to have high emotional intelligence. They can be liked by everyone without anyone being able to tell that they are green tea.
If she really wants to get someone.
The one who is targeted will be in trouble.
Fortunately, Qiao Xi was a person of good family background and had a strong conscience, so she wouldn't hurt innocent people. If she wanted to punish someone, she would punish those who had hurt her. Of course, she wouldn't implicate innocent people.
After torturing the body and mind, it is the standard ending.
Let them reflect on themselves through legal procedures.
No matter how far the Yan family's reach reaches, it can't overshadow the righteous central government. A thorough investigation can uncover the root of the problem and serve as a warning to others. A strong country is always the most reliable and powerful backing.
If the roots are damaged, it's over.
Naturally, there is no need to believe anymore.
Because the roots are not damaged, it is working hard to get rid of the borers. So Qiao Xi doesn't mind growing with it, giving it more time to develop, even though it is not completely perfect yet. It will get better and better.
She hopes so too.
If there is an opportunity in the future, I will be able to join it and become a part of its construction and development.
After buying groceries, Qiao Xi hummed a cheerful tune, returned to her small rental house, and began cooking in a happy mood.
【……】
I felt the little black cat system with countless little red flags floating before my eyes and rubbed my eyes.
Even though it was treated with malice and injustice by the world, it could finally understand why Qiao Xi was always so optimistic.
It turns out that her lover is the country.
She trusted her lover and never gave up loving it.
Even in different time and space, different scripts and different worlds, in the darkness full of malice and injustice, no matter how many times her identity changes and how many times her soul has experienced.
The only thing that never changes is her heart for her lover.
as always……
The black cat system fell silent. Qiao Xi wasn't the heroine it wanted to see in a cool, savage novel. It could even be said that this girl had quite a few flaws.
Sometimes the waves are bad.
He can tease others and be cold and heartless.
But even though she is not so perfect and yet is invincible, she has only one unchanging belief.
People are not born great.
One has to go through wind and rain to grow.
The simple yet exquisite meal for one was ready, and Qiao Xi washed her hands and sat down to eat. She didn't think it was a big deal to live alone, but rather felt very free.
Don't worry about sudden changes.
There is no need to worry about being prepared for business emergencies at any time and anywhere.
"beep--"
The landline in the small rental apartment rang. Qiao Xi put down her chopsticks and walked over to answer it. The anxious voice of the fake mother, who was supposedly her mother, also came over.
"Xixi, buy some fruit and some apology gifts and go to the hospital's XX ward to apologize to them. I hope they will forgive me and stop arguing with you..."
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Qiao Xi was a little confused.
The woman on the other end of the phone heard her confused voice, and remembered the call that night, and immediately became furious.
"Zhan Qi caused all this trouble! He's just as bad as his father. Luckily, he still has some conscience and confessed everything to me. If his father knew what he did, there's no way he'd divorce me so easily!"
Fortunately, Zhan Hao's son is quite filial.
She knew she had to talk to her, otherwise she would be the one who was dragged down to death! She already had a daughter who was a burden, and she didn't want to take care of the child, but after all, she was her own flesh and blood.
If you don't know anything.
If I were still implicated now.
Where can I get so much money to compensate them?
Wasn't it Tu Zhanhao who saved up a little money to get married in the first place? Who knew that that stubborn guy wouldn't let her get anything.
She was not feeling well though.
But he still thought that Qiao Xi would get something when she got married in the future, but he didn't expect that an accident would happen first. His son was really capable. He had offended so many people that they wanted his son dead.
Qiao Xi was silent for a while.
He listened to the woman cursing on the phone for a long time before he finished speaking. Then he softened his voice and tried to persuade her kindly.
"Don't blame me for not being able to accompany you. I have to work. I'm afraid that person will hold a grudge against you too. Buy something to apologize to that person..."
"Okay, Mom, I'll go, don't worry."
My daughter, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, will definitely do what she says. Those big shots won't be so petty as to make things difficult for a little girl who has nothing to do with them.
The woman on the other end of the phone finally felt relieved.
After giving her a few instructions on how to be polite when meeting people, he hung up the phone.
That hospital ward.
Isn’t this the independent ward where Yan Shen is hospitalized?
Qiao Xi had not read Zhan Qi's background information to know what he had done, but after listening to what Yu Zhi had said to her before, she could still guess some of it.
Zhan Qi used to be very fierce in fighting.
Many people who were obstructing Yan Shen were cleared out. Those people were not killed, but they were injured. All the subsequent troubles were handled by Yan Shen, and Zhan Qi continued to be used as a spear.
The medical expenses for one or two people are still affordable.
But what if there are many?
He probably knew that his not-so-warm home would soon be overwhelmed, so he called and told Qiao Xi, the mother in his assumed role, everything, letting her know that he had offended someone he shouldn't offend.
Plus.
It's a second marriage and there is no blood relationship.
Her mother immediately rushed back to divorce Zhan Hao and took her away. From then on, even if she cut off ties with the Zhan family, she would not be implicated again.
Then……
Did Zhan Qi go to atone for her sins after her mother took her away?
When I called that night.
What did he say to her mother? He let her go and pushed her away. Could this be considered the only good thing Zhan Qi, a man with so many evil deeds, did?
[Host, do you want to know? You can see it.]
The little white cat system poked its head out, eager to try and adjust the screen.
If Qiao Xi wanted to, she could go and see what Zhan Qi said that night.
"No, not interested."
The girl waved her hand lightly and went back to sit down.
He picked up his bowl and continued eating.
She didn't like to delve into things that had already happened and were settled, she only cared about the outcome. She should focus on the unfinished business at hand, not on the things that had already happened and had no suspense about the outcome.
No need to waste any more time.
[Alas, I really don’t know whether to say you are heartless or rational]
The Little Black Cat System shook its head.
Sometimes I always feel that Qiao Xi is too rational and heartless, but her empathy in the play always makes the characters unable to let go, and often in the end they know they are wrong.
But it always becomes an unforgettable regret.
It also offered a tiny glimmer of hope, a lingering glimmer of warmth. Even if it held onto this fragmented warmth as it reached its original dark ending, it could still give the characters in the play a small measure of… comfort.
At least I once had it and once obtained it.
Perhaps, this is also what Qiao Xi left behind due to his ruthless rationality.
The last trace of cruel tenderness.
If you look at it from a God's perspective, it's actually very scary for a guilty person to deal with such a woman. If they are not careful, they will be left with nothing.
She gave it many chances.
But some people took the opportunity she gave them as an indulgence in their evil deeds, and continued to make further progress.
【So you want to go to the hospital? 】
The little white cat looked at Qiao Xi, who had finished washing the dishes and was holding a book to read.
"Go ahead. You already promised mom, why not go?"
She nodded seriously and put the book away. Not only did she want to go, but she also wanted to buy something as an apology, just like her mother had said.
But she won't buy fruit.
Maybe they don’t lack fresh fruits at all, and it would be a waste to buy too much and not eat them, so just buy some flowers to decorate the ward.
As for apology.
Qiao Xi didn't know what to buy, and she didn't have much spare money. Yan Shen certainly had plenty of precious health supplements. But she couldn't afford expensive things, and even if she did, the young master probably wouldn't even take her seriously.
I have seen so many valuable things.
So it’s better to compensate with something thoughtful, like making a vase and packaging it yourself?
Zero cost, low consumption and innovative.
The main thing is that it is unique and irreplaceable, and will definitely not be the same as any other product on the market.
Thinking so.
Qiao Xi also began to think about the design. She took out a piece of paper and a pen and began to draw. She had to have a general idea before she could continue with the design.
The two cat systems watched her busy in the space.
He also pulled over another screen in the space and turned the picture to Yan Shen.
Even though the injury was serious and required several months of recuperation, it did not affect Yan Shen's handsome appearance at all.
Being beaten directly by Zhan Qi like that.
There was a small square of gauze on the side of his face, and his messy hair hung softly on his forehead, softening his serious edge and sharpness.
He no longer wore those gold-rimmed glasses.
Those narrow, clear eyes were no longer as aggressive as before. I don't know if it was because of the injury or something else.
Most of the injuries on his body were superficial.
He needed to rest and recuperate, and now even walking was difficult. Staying like this for a long time, and hearing the reports from the spies he had sent out, made Yan Shen increasingly irritable.
"Has the message been sent?"
Yan Shen leaned against the head of the bed and casually flipped through the book in his hand.
"Yes, the mother had just heard the news and wanted to come and apologize immediately. But... because of their different social status and generation, perhaps she couldn't bring herself to do it, or perhaps she was busy out of town. So, she asked her daughter to apologize."
The subordinates observed Yan Shen's expression.
You've gone through so much trouble, just to...
"The result is very good. Thank you for your hard work. You can go back to your work." Yan Shen closed the book, and the subordinate nodded slightly and left tactfully.
The person left.
The ward door closed again, leaving him alone. Yan Shen's eyes gradually turned sinister. Qiao Xi probably didn't want to see him, and she didn't care at all.
But.
He has plenty of ways to make the girl come to see him on her own initiative.
