Chapter 420: Evil (49)
Like someone you can never be with.
Thus, she buried it in the grave of her heart, burying this feeling that should not have come into being. Time slowly passed by in the ticking sound of the wall clock. There were only three minutes left before the end of the exam.
The rustling sound of the pen falling has disappeared.
Yu Zhi was idly supporting his chin with his hand as he looked at the girl across from him. The sunlight from the window poured down, casting a faint, dazzling glow on her body.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the paper.
The focused and serious look concealed those fragile and clear eyes, diluting the sadness and melancholy buried deep in the heart.
Have you let it go?
Definitely not, I just realized this belated feeling.
How can you just say you don’t care?
"bite--"
A familiar ringtone sounded, signaling the time to collect the papers. Yu Zhi withdrew his thoughts, and just as he was about to look away, Qiao Xi seemed to have noticed something.
I subconsciously looked towards him.
The seats were shuffled.
However, Yu Zhi's position remained unchanged. After handing in his paper, the boy slumped back in his seat, looking listless. Qiao Xi also sorted out her stationery and returned to her original seat.
Before the next score announcement.
Her current seat will not change, but after the announcement, she will most likely be moved to the front row.
He would no longer sit behind Yu Zhi.
A lot has happened during this period of time, and the rumors about Qiao Xi haven't even stopped. Others probably don't think she will do well in the exam.
Yu Zhi is similar.
Glancing at the girl sitting back in her original seat, he reached out his hand from the back seat and casually placed it on Qiao Xi's shoulder from behind.
"Come and keep me company."
The boy's lazy voice came from behind, and his hand on the girl's shoulder clearly noticed that Qiao Xi's body was slightly stiff.
“…”
Qiao Xi ignored him and slapped his hand away.
Yu Zhi pouted unhappily and simply pulled his chair over to sit next to her, blocking the girl's seat. Qiao Xi frowned at him, looking unhappy.
"Don't be so unreasonable."
The girl spoke softly, her voice clearly showing her dislike for him.
"How did I bother you?"
Yu Zhi was completely unaware of this. He intentionally or unintentionally tugged at Qiao Xi's sleeve, disrupting the girl's writing. It seemed as if he had casually brought it up, casually chatting about a topic.
"Anyway, I didn't expect you to have the nerve to come. After this incident, which caused such a big uproar and made everyone hostile to you, you're actually not affected at all."
Yu Zhi's words.
It also successfully stopped Qiao Xi's pen. She lowered her eyes, put down the pen, turned around, and pulled her sleeves back without letting the boy touch her again. Her clear almond eyes were full of seriousness.
"so what?"
"Um?"
Yu Zhi was a little confused by her attitude.
"So I should die of shame and anger, then jump from here and apologize to maintain my innocence. Then live my whole life in self-blame and guilt, constantly condemning myself. That's the right thing to do, right?"
Qiao Xi continued talking to herself.
Her eyes were exceptionally calm and composed.
"What about you? Do you feel even a little bit guilty about your bad temper? You can make fun of me, tell me I deserve it, but you've been taking advantage of my misfortune and using your words to undermine my confidence. You're satisfying your own hypocrisy by belittling and mocking me. What qualifications do you have to say such things to me?"
It was the first time she talked so much to Yu Zhi.
It was also the first time that Yu Zhi saw Qiao Xi's emotions hidden underneath revealed.
I've never seen her like this.
Yu Zhi was only slightly surprised and didn't care at all about what she said: "So you have such a sharp tongue."
Qiao Xi didn't look at him.
"I'm grateful for lending me the book."
The girl lowered her head and took out the English book that originally belonged to him and was already filled with notes and handed it to him.
"I've already written the notes you requested, and I've already paid you for your help applying the medicine. I don't owe you anything, so you can leave."
Yu Zhi didn't answer.
Qiao Xi simply stuffed the book into his arms without even looking at it, and completely ignored him.
She will also go to the hospital to visit Yan Shen on the weekend.
She also didn't want to waste her time on Yu Zhi. If she could talk things out and make him stay away from her, that would be great.
Ideals are very fulfilling.
But the reality is very bleak.
After being forced to take the book she stuffed into his hand, Yu Zhi simply threw it onto the seat behind him without paying any attention to it at all.
The cat-like boy smiled with his eyes curved.
He liked Qiao Xi like this. He knew there were signs of wrong feelings, but he did not continue to let them grow, but instead made a decisive move to nip them in the bud.
If you know it is wrong, it is wrong.
No matter how much I like it, I will never regret the decision I made.
A very sober girl.
She is much better than the cowardly, helpless and desperate girl she used to be, so Yu Zhi likes her the way she is now.
Even now.
Qiao Xi should have seen through his true nature.
He simply likes to use his capricious and moody personality to disguise his truly despicable self. He enjoys watching the excitement and is the master of muddying the waters.
Really likes to cause trouble.
“……?”
So when Qiao Xi was held by the wrist by him and gently pressed against the wall, she looked obviously a little confused.
Yu Zhi picked up a big book casually.
Before Qiao Xi could come to her senses, he leaned over and kissed her lips, and the large book blocking their movements happened to block them. The girl's pupils suddenly contracted in surprise, but Yu Zhi simply touched her lips and left.
only.
The warmth remaining on the girl's soft lips has not completely dissipated.
This brief moment.
It was so fast that she didn't even notice the noisy crowd around her. The little girl was too shy to accept this in public.
Her pretty face soon turned a faint blush.
It gradually spreads, letting the scorching heat spread to the ears.
She wanted to hide her panic, fearing that people around her would notice that something was wrong with her. Qiao Xi quickly took a book and put it in front of her face to block it.
Only those clear and beautiful almond eyes were revealed.
She glared in shame and anger at the boy beside her who was so calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.
shameless!
Yu Zhi also clearly understood the words in her dissatisfied expression. After all, it was not like they had never kissed each other before. Seeing that Qiao Xi didn't want to pay attention to him, he wanted to bully Qiao Xi even more.
I had secretly taken her little hand and played with it before.
"Do you want to go to the swimming pool?"
"No."
Qiao Xi refused without even thinking, there was no need to consider it at all.
"Why? Doesn't it matter if our affairs are exposed?"
here we go again.
Yu Zhi could always say threatening words with a smile and as if nothing had happened, and he never thought that he had a bad nature.
Qiao Xi was silent for a while.
When acting with this kind of person, you just have to pretend to be nice to each other.
She put down the book in her hand, stared into the boy's eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter. The girl smiled with her eyes curved, raised her hand, and rubbed the boy's hairy head.
"It doesn't matter, just expose it."
Her peach-like lips were pink and beautiful, and she raised her eyes as if to mutter something and looked at the boy in front of her seriously.
"It's not bad to follow you. This way they won't dare to say anything bad about me."
What she thought seemed simple.
A half-joking tone woven into her sweet, gentle voice concealed a touch of sadness and a sense of self-resignation, having long since given up on trying to change things. The girl's eyelashes drooped slightly, concealing the loneliness in her eyes.
"I have nothing left, so I don't care about losing it."
A light sentence.
There was no unnecessary emotion in her expression, not even a hint of grievance. It was as if she was clearly aware that everything around her was slowly moving away from her.
Seems to be hesitating.
Qiao Xi looked a little conflicted.
"Yuzhi, if even you ignore me, I will become a truly invisible person. So even though I know you are very mean, I just want to kill time. But for me..."
“It’s nice to have someone to chat with.”
Even so, this person is not a good person.
There was no good purpose for her.
But compared to facing the hostile and indifferent world alone, having someone to chat with doesn’t sound so bad, right?
Even if that person approaches with a purpose.
Yu Zhi was stunned for a moment, but soon figured out what Qiao Xi meant.
so.
Even though Qiao Xi knew that he was mean and frivolous, and always liked to use his fickle attitude to attack her, she still chose to accept him like this?
It’s not that I don’t care about the gazes and comments of people around me.
It was simply because she felt that with him by her side, she still had a friend with whom she could chat.
So that's why you don't care?
Then why did Qiao Xi return the book to him? Doesn't this seem more like she was distancing herself from him?
but.
Qiao Xi had just rubbed his head, and it was the first time he saw her with such a gentle and helpless expression. The thoughts that Yu Zhi should have suppressed began to stir again.
The girl didn't notice his eyes darkening.
"Even though I said that, I still hope you can change your attitude. Otherwise, it's really easy to make people angry. Every time you come close to me, I will beat you up."
For example, if she puts her arm around him, he'll ask her to come over and keep him company.
There are also things like kissing unexpectedly.
Yu Zhi looked at her earnestly explaining things and thought she was adorable. Even though he knew his true colors, he had already exposed them.
In the end I chose to accept it.
Qiao Xi is really a soft-hearted and simple person. Although she seems to have changed a lot and become more sober, in essence, she has not changed much.
"Okay, then I respect you."
The young man also smiled brightly, "Can I invite you to go to the swimming pool with me now?"
The little girl pouted unhappily.
"No, you idiot with a head full of yellow crap."
Yu Zhi: “???”
Before the boy was about to explode, Qiao Xi also sighed. She turned her head and looked out the window with a somewhat lonely look.
"You know I can't let go, yet you still want me to play with you. Not only are you heartless and mean, but you also don't know how to consider other people's feelings. No wonder you don't have any friends."
“…”
Yu Zhi was silent.
At least he still has some, like Yan Liang, Yan Shen, and Zhan Qihe...
"If you're talking about Yan Liang and the others, then your friendship is really too plastic."
Finally, the little girl's sweet voice came again.
Cut off the depressed thoughts.
Are there any good brothers who like to put hats on each other? You stab me in the back once, and I stab you in the back, and then I continue to smile on the surface.
That's really a good friend.
"But it doesn't matter. It's just right that you two are good friends. You must know Zhan Qi very well, and you can talk to me more about him. We can also be good friends."
"Hmm? But you don't really hate him?"
"Yeah, I definitely couldn't agree to that in front of him. But you're different, you know I like him. He can't hear me now anyway, and I don't want to be so tired anymore. I still have to face my feelings."
These words are full of vicissitudes and emotion.
As if she had experienced some great storms, Qiao Xi's expression was complicated and nostalgic.
Yu Zhi suddenly wanted her to shut up.
"But don't worry, you're my only friend now. As for Yan Liang... I don't even know him well, so I don't plan on causing trouble for him. I don't like him anymore anyway."
Qiao Xi's eyes were sincere and genuine.
Looking into Yu Zhi's eyes, the young man was moved for a moment. Wait, so Qiao Xi doesn't like Yan Liang and doesn't plan to get close to him now.
Zhan Qi's whereabouts are unknown.
Yan Shen, who was in the hospital, had little interaction with her. Even if Yan Shen was interested in her, there was no chance of seeing her since he was already in the hospital.
It goes around in circles like this.
The final winner, and the one with the greatest chance of winning, is himself?
But what Qiao Xi said was wrong.
She thought she was the one getting close to Yan Liang, but in reality, it was Yan Liang who was trying to get close to her. So now the only one who needed to be restrained was Yan Liang.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhi narrowed his eyes happily.
That's really not difficult.
It would be even better if Qiao Xi wasn't interested in Yan Liang. He only needed to divert Qiao Xi's attention and let her fall in love with him step by step. Now the girl's attention was indeed only on him.
The one who is closest to the water gets the moon first.
Without paying attention to what the boy next to him thought, Qiao Xi saw that it was almost time and started packing up.
Why.
It's just some empty talk, everyone can do that.
Since Yu Zhi loves to talk nonsense, she also talks nonsense.
Anyway, don't take any of it seriously.
It was almost time, and Yu Zhi offered to take her home, and this time Qiao Xi did not refuse. Yan Liang had originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Qiao Xi, and had been waiting outside not far away for a long time.
He waited until Qiao Xi came out.
However, Yu Zhi also came out with this girl.
Amidst the crowd, the two of them naturally didn't notice him standing at the back. Instead, they walked away side by side, talking and laughing.
The temperature in Yan Liang's eyes froze in an instant.
If he had admired Qiao Xi's actions before and was pleased with the girl's quick actions, he also wanted to give her some sweet praise.
But now.
Seeing Qiao Xi and Yu Zhi being so intimate, and seeing their kiss in the rain, Yan Liang was no fool. He had been in love before, so he naturally knew what those expressions on girls meant.
Seeing Qiao Xi’s appearance before.
It's obvious that my heart is moved.
No one knew what had happened between her and Yu Zhi that led to Yu Zhi kissing her in the rain that day. The girl panicked and was at a loss, and fled from here in a panic.
if.
Qiao Xi just took action and eliminated those people one by one.
Then Yan Liang can still accept it.
But she had fallen in love with Yu Zhi, and now, looking at their intimacy, it was clear that they had reconciled. They even walked side by side and got into Yu Zhi's car again.
It's easy to imagine what happens next.
Yan Liang's hands clenched into fists at his sides, his eyes dark and paranoid. He watched Yu Zhi's car drive away, then got in his own car and signaled the driver to follow.
Yu Zhi sent Qiao Xi back to her home.
He looked at the small rental house where the girl lived with some curiosity: "How about you move in with me? That way we can stick together every day, and I can find you whenever I want to play with you."
Of course, you can't take this bastard's lies seriously.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyelids gently, and looked at his eyes which were smiling deeply as if she was looking at a fool.
"You already know where my home is. If you want to hang out with me, can't we make an appointment later when we have time?"
The girl said this to Yu Zhi.
It is undoubtedly an open pass.
The young man's eyebrows lit up and he suddenly became carefree and cheerful: "Okay, that's what you said, then I will come to ask you out."
"Okay." Qiao Xi agreed obediently.
It was a date, but whether she was available or not was another matter. As the car was about to leave, the girl waved and watched him leave.
After they left, she returned to the house.
Yan Liang, sitting in a car not far away, saw Qiao Xi reluctantly saying goodbye, and his suspicions became more certain. Yu Zhi, contrary to his usual enthusiasm for being with Qiao Xi, must have really cared about her.
In the past, the goal was to pay back.
It's understandable that the other party isn't interested. After all, how can free food delivered to your door taste the same as something you snatched with your own hands?
Yan Liang understood this feeling well.
He should have known that Qiao Xi's ability to eliminate both Yan Shen and Zhan Qi at once would pique Yu Zhi's interest. But Yan Liang never expected Qiao Xi to develop feelings for Yu Zhi.
It’s real now.
If this continues, there's no need to wait until Yan Shen is discharged from the hospital. As long as Yu Zhi can prove that Qiao Xi likes him and submit evidence to prove the girl's confession, then the final winner will naturally be Yu Zhi.
He came too late.
Or maybe he was too confident in Qiao Xi.
He had thought Qiao Xi was the same kind of person as him, hating those rich kids who just wanted to hang out and play but still pretended to be noble. Unexpectedly, he didn't fall for Yan Shen, but fell for Yu Zhi instead.
Yan Liang felt a tight breath in his chest.
I just feel extremely uncomfortable.
He should wake Qiao Xi up and make her realize the reality. Make her realize that she was just a pastime for Yu Zhi to pass the time, and let her see clearly that she was just one of the people being deceived.
So that she can wake up completely.
Yan Liang's eyes flickered slightly, and he found a suitable reason for his actions.
"Go back and come back later."
"yes."
Besides, Qiao Xi had visited him before, so he could come here in the evening and pay a visit to Qiao Xi's home.
It's just a matter of reciprocity for the girl to treat him.
