Chapter 654: Guan Zhiyuan (3)
Chu Si Ning found a car from somewhere, and the group left faster. However, the city had already fallen, and they were driving fast in an era full of zombies.
Guo Qingyang is a very good driver.
Whenever he saw a zombie rushing out, he would quickly turn the steering wheel, but his graceful technique was not so friendly to Qiao Xi who was in the car.
Chu Sining sat in the passenger seat, as if he was used to it.
The girl looked calm. She saw zombies rushing towards the vehicle from afar, but for some reason, the zombies fell down before they reached the vehicle.
And Guan Zhiyuan.
He held Qiao Xi, who had her eyes closed, and silently injected some special energy into her to relieve her symptoms.
In a strong sense of dizziness.
Qiao Xi felt as if her mind was being torn apart, with occasional intermittent images flashing by. The images gradually became clearer from blurry, and then, they froze for a moment.
Qiao Xi covered her head.
Fighting against the intense pain, her delicate eyebrows knitted together. Guan Zhiyuan's eyes darkened, and he unconsciously hugged her tighter. He wanted Guo Qingyang to drive slower, but behind the car.
There were densely packed zombies chasing after us, roaring continuously.
They had just forced their way out of the occupied city center. There was no living person nearby, and they were surrounded by zombies who were attracted by their scent and were chasing them relentlessly.
Now this scale.
It's not something they can handle.
Qiao Xi, curled up in Guan Zhiyuan's arms, trembled slightly. Many images flashed through her mind rapidly, and she could only barely capture one of them. A familiar name came to her mind, and she finally couldn't help but moan softly and called out unconsciously.
"Xuan, Brother Xuanye..."
The faint call was fragile and brittle. However, the name uttered by Qiao Xi made the man holding her feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if he had been pushed into an extremely cold hell.
Shouldn't have thought of it.
But his thoughts, like a relentless wave, gradually engulfed Guan Zhiyuan's sanity. The waves crashed against his fragile mind, constantly impacting it, revealing the darkness he had tried so hard to seal away, the unbearable emotions he had buried.
What is Qiao Xi talking about?
Whose name was it that she called out?
Guan Zhiyuan had imagined countless possibilities, and he also thought that Qiao Xi might recover her memory one day in the future. He knew that the first time the girl saw him after recovering her memory, she would probably feel disgusted or even annoyed.
but……
The only thing he didn't want to hear from Qiao Xi was someone else's name.
Especially that person.
Or the captain of Base A, who has a deep connection with her.
In the past, Qiao Xi could easily abandon him at any time and place for the sake of being the commander of Base A. She never showed him even a little bit of mercy, let alone stayed for him.
Guan Zhiyuan knew it.
There is no comparison between him and Gu Xuanye. He is not even one of Qiao Xi's options. He will always be the one who is abandoned.
No matter when.
No matter how humble.
Sitting in the back seat, held in Guan Zhiyuan's arms, Qiao Xi felt a pain as if her soul had been torn apart. Something was constantly impacting her mind, converging into a more chaotic picture.
Her body was even trembling slightly.
The power in the body is surging, as if responding to the pain of being cut apart, and the power is ready to move.
Qiao Xi unconsciously clenched her hands and grabbed Guan Zhiyuan's collar.
However, her behavior deeply hurt Guan Zhiyuan's heart. All his self-deceiving thoughts were shattered when Qiao Xi unconsciously murmured Gu Xuanye's name.
Guan Zhiyuan's hand moved.
The man's slender, cold fingertips stroked her cheek and landed on Qiao Xi's tightly furrowed brows. The girl in his arms was fragile and brittle. She could only rely on him so much when she was asleep.
It was as if something was stirring up his instincts.
Before the deeper and thicker darkness of despair spread, only a surging undercurrent remained in Guan Zhiyuan's gloomy eyes. He could no longer restrain his heart that was devoured by jealousy and tortured by morbid possession.
Bend over.
He kissed Qiao Xi's lips, and his supernatural powers gradually spread.
He did his utmost to possess and cling to her, as if to drag Qiao Xi into an abyss from which there would be no return. His demands, his desires, and his greed were all fully expressed in this kiss.
The mark is burning.
It kept burning his nerves and torturing his body.
This bittersweet punishment was once considered a shame by Guan Zhiyuan. But now, it has become the last connection between him and Qiao Xi. It seems that only in this way can he feel that Qiao Xi is real.
“…”
The girl he was kissing seemed a little confused.
Her brows, originally furrowed, relaxed unconsciously. The girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyelids slowly opened. Those beautiful eyes, as crystal clear as gems, with a hint of confusion, suddenly entered Guan Zhiyuan's sight without warning.
If you say.
When Qiao Xi first woke up, her clear pupils were filled with the mist of the early morning forest. Her bewildered look at this moment was like a lonely deer lost in the fog in the deep forest.
Such a helpless look.
At this moment, Guan Zhiyuan's heart was deeply touched.
He was like being electrocuted, and his lips quickly parted from Qiao Xi's. Guo Qingyang, who was concentrating on driving, had no time to look at the back seat. Chu Si Ning, sitting in the passenger seat, had a serious expression on his face, busy navigating Guo Qingyang's route with the least zombies.
No one was paying attention to them.
Chasing behind the car were roaring zombies.
But at this moment, Qiao Xi, who had regained consciousness, was staring blankly at the enlarged handsome face in front of her. As if driven by something instinctively, when she saw Guan Zhiyuan hiding the darkness in his eyes and trying to leave her presence.
She was a little panicked.
Almost subconsciously, she stretched out her arms and wrapped them around the man's neck.
The girl placed her soft and slender hands on the back of the man's neck, and gently pulled him down as if bewitching. Her red lips, adorned with a hint of crystal, were slightly parted, and her clear eyes were stained with a hazy confusion.
Everything.
For Guan Zhiyuan, these are all fatal temptations.
He couldn't refuse.
Just like countless times in the past, he could never truly reject this woman, and could no longer control the instinct that clamored for Qiao Xi.
For the first time, he wanted to indulge himself without hesitation.
He lingered on kissing the girl's lips, briefly separating and then reuniting, entangled several times. Qiao Xi hugged his neck, trying to raise her head in response, feeling the softness between the other's lips.
Guan Zhiyuan held her waist tightly without her noticing.
He forced himself to break the kiss.
Even he himself didn't know when those overflowing jealous emotions turned into sweet and painful love.
Qiao Xi after he left.
It was as if she had regained consciousness at this moment. Her mind was still hazy, but she no longer felt dizzy or had a headache. Abundant strength flowed through her body, a little more than before.
Her vision was still confused.
Her eyes could not help but fall on the man holding her. Guan Zhiyuan also lowered his eyes to look at her, but the man's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes were filled with a hint of laziness and danger.
Qiao Xi's body stiffened slightly.
Because the girl noticed that Guan Zhiyuan was pressing against her.
The two of them were already very close. Sitting in the back seat, Guan Zhiyuan held her and let her sit on his lap. This action was already very intimate. And the kiss just now seemed to ignite the unknown feelings between them.
Qiao Xi couldn't understand.
She didn't know why she trusted Guan Zhiyuan.
She wasn't quite sure why she wanted to get close to Guan Zhiyuan. As if drawn to him, she moved closer to him, step by step.
Qiao Xi tried to struggle out of his arms somewhat unnaturally.
But at this moment, the man bent down, came to her ear, and whispered in a hoarse voice that only the two of them could hear: "Be good and don't move."
Outside, there were the roars of zombies.
The car's shrill sound as it skidded around a corner was enough to conceal the secret that had just transpired between them. Meeting his deep gaze, Qiao Xi suddenly felt timid, turning her head and burying her face in the man's chest.
I didn't dare to go see him.
Guan Zhiyuan stroked the girl's hair and lowered his eyes, trying to calm the burning heat brought by the restlessness of the mark. Qiao Xi quietly raised her eyes to look at him, and found that the cold young man pursed his lips and said nothing, and did not dare to disturb him.
Guan Zhiyuan waited until the abnormality in his body gradually subsided and the energy of his invisibility ability dissipated before returning to normal.
"I'm so annoyed. I can't get rid of it! It keeps coming!"
Guo Qingyang's angry voice came from the front. He had finally reached the limit of his patience. No matter where he drove, there were dense swarms of zombies and the roars of monsters were endless.
Just like this despairing reality.
Chu Si Ning's face also looked bad. She was reborn back to the beginning of the apocalypse. Her supernatural power level was not high, and she could not use it continuously for too long.
Just pointed out a route out of the city center.
When you almost reach the edge of the city, you have reached your limit.
An accidental glance in the rearview mirror.
Chu Si Ning found Guan Zhiyuan holding Qiao Xi, who seemed to be asleep, and looking at the scenery outside the window with a distracted look. Seeing him like this, she was furious.
What the hell, she and her darling are racing at the speed of life and death.
How dare this person watch the show!
Damn it, he's about to die and he's still standing here unmoved. He eloped with the woman of the commander of Base A and doesn't even know how to cherish his life.
Chu Si Ning was furious: "Hey, you dead faceless guy over there, don't just watch and think of a solution!"
Guo Qingyang was startled by Chu Sining's angry voice beside him.
In his impression.
Si Ning has always been the typical cute and adorable girl type. She likes sweet-style little skirts, beautiful JK uniforms, things that are full of girlishness, and speaks softly.
But now.
The girl was like a knife that no longer concealed its sharpness. She crossed her legs and grabbed her hair in annoyance, her cold and arrogant eyes filled with disgust for these zombies.
Guo Qingyang's mouth suddenly opened wide.
He, he had never seen his girlfriend act so unladylike.
He had always treated Si Ning like a little girl, but now the girl suddenly gave him such a huge contrast that he was stunned.
"Si, Si Ning..."
Guo Qingyang called her name with some stammering.
The boy's voice immediately brought Chu Sining back to her senses. Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that her behavior was a bit too sudden, and she couldn't help but bring back the bad habits she had developed in the apocalypse.
Previous life.
After Guo Qingyang died, she lost her soul.
There was no longer the big boy who doted on her. The boy who had been bitten by a zombie, looked pale but still smiled at her, telling her to run quickly and never look back. Chu Sining was very scared and didn't dare to move her legs.
But Guo Qingyang pushed her out.
She still ran away regardless, tears scattered on her cheeks in the wind. Learning to grow up and become strong is a very difficult process. She was too well protected by Guo Qingyang. The boy who only had her in his heart and eyes would never treat her like that.
But in the end times.
Who can be the delicate little princess?
If the apocalypse hadn't arrived, she and Guo Qingyang would have gotten married right after graduating from university. But there were no ifs, and she paid the price of her blood for growth and enlightenment.
But I also lost the one I loved most.
The only boy who can make her heart beat and remember her best appearance.
"Qing, Qingyang, I..."
Chu Si Ning suddenly became nervous, revealing an uneasy look. She was afraid that Guo Qingyang didn't like her, didn't like that she, who was originally gentle, was rolling around in a group of men in the end times, and was stained with vulgarity and bad habits that she herself used to disdain.
"Si Ning, are you..."
Guo Qingyang looked serious.
Before he could finish his sentence, the car suddenly shuddered. At some point, the swarming zombies finally caught up. Bloodstained hands pounded on the car windows.
A bunch of ferocious faces surrounded the car window.
He opened his bloody mouth and roared.
Even though Guo Qingyang was mentally prepared, his face still turned pale when he saw these monsters surrounding him.
It was at this time.
Guan Zhiyuan, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly handed something to them.
Chu Sining and Guo Qingyang both subconsciously tried to catch it, and soon they felt a surge of energy enveloping them, with a translucent light.
At the moment they were wrapped up.
The zombies outside who were banging on the car windows and shouting constantly suddenly showed a confused expression and stood there blankly, not moving at all.
"What... is going on?"
Guo Qingyang was a little confused and looked down at what Guan Zhiyuan handed over.
It's a piece of paper.
Calling it a piece is too extravagant, it's just a small corner. It feels like it was torn off by someone, but the paper is translucent and has a faint glow.
"The paper that carries my special ability is valid for three hours."
Guan Zhiyuan glanced at them and gave a brief explanation.
"ah?"
Guo Qingyang was a little confused, but he quickly realized what was happening. He remembered Si Ning had also told him about superpowers. Si Ning also said that very few people could awaken superpowers.
And superpowers can fight zombies.
Everyone's abilities are different.
Her psychic abilities are very effective against humans, but have no attack effect on zombies, after all, zombies have no spirit.
However, her psychic ability was like a natural map, able to detect all nearby zombies and their numbers, allowing her to avoid danger in advance. Of course, when she used her ability, she could also see everything within the range of her ability.
It's considered a top-level auxiliary.
And what kind of special ability does this man who handed them the paper have?
Guo Qingyang was still wondering when Chu Sining spoke.
"The invisibility ability is really convenient. Not only can you hide your body, but you can also hide your breath, sound, and everything else. Under the invisibility ability, not only zombies, but even psychics can't detect you. You can entrust the ability to an object, and once it is allowed to be held, the holder will also become invisible."
"So powerful?" Guo Qingyang was shocked.
However, when he realized how well his girlfriend knew that guy, he quickly felt jealous.
Chu Si Ning quickly noticed that he was jealous.
Not caring that the boy was still driving, she quickly leaned over and kissed him, giving Guo Qingyang a loud smack.
“!”
Guo Qingyang quickly recovered and continued driving with a smile on his face.
There are no more zombies chasing us.
There was no need to hide any longer. Guo Qingyang and Chu Sining's goal was Base A, so when they were safe halfway, they would separate and act separately. After leaving the city, they arrived at the edge of the city.
There are obviously fewer zombies.
They stopped along the way and went into a convenience store to grab some dinner. The remaining supplies were all given to Guo Qingyang and Chu Sining.
However, Chu Sining was a little discouraged.
As it was getting dark, and she even had a place to stay, she still didn't find what she wanted.
"What are you looking for?"
Qiao Xi sat next to the worried girl with some curiosity.
Chu Si Ning looked at the night sky and sighed deeply: "What else can I find? You know what couples lack."
She's revealed her character before.
On the way, she explained it to Guo Qingyang. She originally thought that the boy would find her changes too big and dislike her, but Guo Qingyang looked at her seriously and said that he was late and made her suffer like that.
Chu Si Ning was extremely moved.
He couldn't help himself and even wanted to fight Guo Qingyang for three hundred rounds. But, something was missing...
The temporary place they found to stay was a homestay.
Since there was no one here, it was natural for them to stay there. Plus, this place was close to the edge of the city, closer to nature. The surrounding scenery was very beautiful. She and Guo Qingyang stayed in one house, while Qiao Xi and the others stayed in another.
After tonight.
Chu Sining was about to part ways with them, after all, their destinations were different.
"Ah, if you're talking about that, I have a lot."
Qiao Xi understood Chu Si Ning's meaning in seconds. She raised her hand to her side, and suddenly, like magic, a large box appeared.
“???”
Chu Si Ning was stunned and watched Qiao Xi hand the thing to her.
"This, so many..." She couldn't help but be amazed. It was like robbing a supermarket, there were so many.
"Yeah, I don't need them, so I'll give them to you."
Qiao Xi nodded, her eyes curved with a smile.
Guan Zhiyuan, who had been hiding his presence and waiting for the girl to come back not far away, also had his eyes darkened when he heard Qiao Xi say that and handed the pile of pink and blue boxes to Chu Si Ning.
No use...
Didn’t she say it herself, just in case?
Now that he says he has no use for it, he probably doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Sure enough, although no one brought it up, Qiao Xi might have already thought of Gu Xuanye.
Yes, they didn't have a relationship that needed that thing.
Things have come to this.
Wouldn't it be ridiculous for him to have any expectations for nothing?
But these thoughts will not be conveyed to Qiao Xi.
"Thank you, that's a great help."
Chu Sining took the big bag with gratitude. She didn't feel anything was wrong with Qiao Xi's sudden action of taking out something.
Although she rarely paid attention to gossip in her previous life.
But during certain online hours, she would also check the posts. How weak could a woman be if she was favored by the base commander? At the very least, she had a special ability.
"By the way, why don't you save some for your family member?"
After putting the things away, Chu Si Ning remembered this question.
She noticed that the captain with facial paralysis had an unusual relationship with Qiao Xi, and she had also tried to find out during dinner that they were dating. Although she didn't know if the captain with facial paralysis had any memories of his past life, but...
Judging from the fact that the other party is unwilling to go to Base A.
There should be, right?
Although the base commander, Gu, was later dismissed and investigated, it was true that he had helped and saved many people during the most difficult times of the apocalypse. As for Chu Sining herself, she was very grateful to him for giving her a place to stay.
Although at that time, the rules for survival were cruel.
"If you don't keep it, you won't be able to use it."
Qiao Xi answered without even thinking and just shook her head.
Chu Si Ning looked at the girl's unusually resolute attitude and was speechless for a moment: "No, don't you have any life in your relationship?"
"This is our second day of dating."
Qiao Xi thought for a moment, then tilted her head to look at Chu Si Ning: "It's too early to do this kind of thing now. Maybe he thinks the same way. I'd better not let him worry."
As she spoke, the girl's voice gradually became softer.
"Only the second day? Then there's really no rush." Chu Sining expressed her understanding. She and Guo Qingyang were so passionate about each other that they wanted to elope right away.
Some things.
Chu Si Ning had not intended to tell Qiao Xi, but seeing the girl's clueless look, she still felt a little reluctant.
"Do you...know Gu Xuanye?"
Chu Si Ning considered carefully before mentioning the name.
Guan Zhiyuan, watching them from a distance, gasped for breath and unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides. He vaguely expected yet feared the answer, just like his heart, which was constantly tormented at this moment.
Qiao Xi obviously hesitated.
The name seemed familiar to her, but... she felt nothing.
"I don't know him, but he looks very familiar."
Qiao Xi shook her head and honestly expressed her thoughts. Chu Si Ning couldn't help but sigh as she looked at her who knew nothing.
"Actually, I'm a reincarnated person. In my previous life, I know a little about you. Gu Xuanye was the commander of Base A, and your identity was widely rumored at the time. Netizens called you the commander's little wife. You were his lover..."
Chu Si Ning's voice seemed to come from far away, talking about Qiao Xi's past that she knew nothing about.
Guan Zhiyuan, who was standing on the other side, was stiff all over.
His clenched fist even made a slight cracking sound. He had squeezed too hard, his knuckles turning white. The emotions surging in his eyes cooled, gradually becoming sinister and cold.
Shut up!
He should have stopped the man from continuing.
But some strong emotions were struggling, wanting Qiao Xi to know the truth. However, the beauty of reality was addictive, and he did not want to destroy the current false appearance of peace.
The heart that is struggling violently is not calm.
Chu Si Ning, who was sitting there, had already told Qiao Xi everything he knew about his past life.
She didn't expect Qiao Xi to accept everything at once.
after all……
If someone suddenly comes out and talks to you about his past life, a normal person would probably think that there is something wrong with the other person, or that he is joking.
It is naturally impossible to accept it so quickly.
So Chu Sining patted Qiao Xi's shoulder, and looking at the girl who was lost in thought and struggling, she also advised her.
"Don't dwell on it too much."
Chu Sining patted her shoulder and turned back into the house. She wanted to be intimate with Guo Qingyang.
Qiao Xi was still sitting on the steps at the door.
She looked up at the starry night sky. The cold wind carried the smell of dust and gently caressed her hair on the side of her cheek.
After listening to what Chu Sining said.
She was actually depressed.
At the same time, she felt a little confused about herself, because she had an impression of the name Gu Xuanye and it seemed very familiar to her. However, she just couldn't remember it no matter what.
Qiao Xi sat huddled up on the steps.
She just felt a little confused, and vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something important, but she couldn't remember it.
Guan Zhiyuan watched her from a distance.
The girl was wearing thin clothes and was lying on the steps over there, staring at the night sky in a daze.
When the moon's cold light is also filled with melancholy.
Accompanied by the murmur and crying of the evening breeze, it can easily stir up the most vulnerable part of people's hearts, and gradually make the already sensitive nerves of human beings soaked in the color of sadness.
Guan Zhiyuan looked at the girl who was full of distress and pursed his lips.
final.
He still did not choose to hide his figure. His invisibility ability disappeared, and he appeared not far away, walking towards Qiao Xi.
The girl was still immersed in her own thoughts.
only.
A figure quickly appeared before her eyes, and a familiar hand appeared in front of her. She raised her head and looked up, and was caught off guard by Guan Zhiyuan's deep eyes.
Qiao Xi saw seriousness and determination in his eyes.
But those dark eyes also carried too much complexity and sorrow that she could not yet understand. Guan Zhiyuan was like a person who was gradually eroded by darkness, covered by the increasingly rich color of tragedy.
To the extent that.
It even gave Qiao Xi the illusion that he was very lonely.
"Go back."
The sound that fell from the boy's lips was lighter than before, but also much duller.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, then quietly raised her hand and placed it on him, following him without saying a word.
Guan Zhiyuan looked at her, lowered his eyelids, and hid his emotions.
"Is there anything you want to ask me?"
The man's voice sounded as calm as always, without any unnecessary emotions.
Qiao Xi looked at him hesitantly.
"Will you tell me everything I ask?"
In fact, she still didn't quite understand what kind of person Guan Zhiyuan was. She only knew that he had a good impression of her, and in this chaotic world, she wanted to grasp her only hope.
Need comfort.
She also needs a spiritual pillar to help her accept this absurd reality.
She was not the kind of person who was so obsessed with love. Qiao Xi felt that she still had some selfish motives in taking advantage of him, because the world had fallen and monsters were rampant in this era.
She...didn't dare to be alone.
So if someone appears, and happens to be kind to her, meets her ideal, can reach out to her, and tolerate everything about her.
No matter who it is.
Qiao Xi thought that as long as that person appeared, she would grab him without hesitation.
It's like falling into a river and grabbing onto a piece of driftwood to survive. It seems that only by doing this can you feel the reality.
so.
The reason she has a good impression of Guan Zhiyuan and relies on him is simply because Guan Zhiyuan happened to appear when she needed him.
Out of danger for now.
She has the time and energy to think about these things, and she also cares about how Guan Zhiyuan sees her.
"If you want to know, I'll tell you."
The boy stood with his back to her beside the newly made bed. The zombies wandering around here had been cleared out by them, and now it was only the second day of the apocalypse and there was no water or electricity outage.
The network can also be used normally.
Many evacuation notices can even be seen on mobile phones, encouraging residents to go to the four major bases.
"What was the relationship between you and me before?"
Qiao Xi asked this while looking at his back.
Guan Zhiyuan froze. He had actually given Qiao Xi the answer to this question before. Now, a picture suddenly emerged in his mind: he had asked Qiao Xi the same question before.
But he was asking about Qiao Xi and the base commander.
At that time, Qiao Xi said that her relationship with him was similar.
"We..." Guan Zhiyuan opened his lips, looking at the girl behind him with an unusually serious expression. His heart was slightly aching as he peeled back his memories layer by layer.
Every time I recall something related to Qiao Xi.
To him, it was all torture.
The pain was so severe that it almost took his life, and the memories of Qiao Xi were like arsenic that he swallowed willingly. He knew it was highly toxic, but he still took it willingly. On the one hand, he felt the pain as if his blood was flowing, but on the other hand, he was willing to indulge in the beautiful moment that Qiao Xi gave him.
"An abnormal relationship, a relationship with no results."
He opened his thin lips slightly and said the words that Qiao Xi had once said to him.
At this moment.
The girl's pupils contracted slightly, as if she had encountered something unbelievable. Guan Zhiyuan did not miss the momentary surprise in her eyes.
"I should be very cheap to you."
He lowered his head and laughed at himself, but what he said was extremely sarcastic to himself.
If not.
When she mentioned the past, how could Qiao Xi think of Gu Xuanye first? Even the name she said was Gu Xuanye. She just couldn't forget the base commander, even now.
Even if there are some signs of recovering memories of the previous life.
But the person I thought of was still Gu Xuanye.
How many times has Guan Zhiyuan deceived himself? Even he himself can't remember clearly. When he comes to his senses, he always makes excuses for Qiao Xi, pretending to deceive himself, maybe Qiao Xi cares about him a little bit.
But no.
A person can be confused all his life.
But after two lifetimes, he couldn't be so confused anymore. How long would he have to pretend to be stupid? Qiao Xi didn't love him at all, let alone love, she didn't even like him.
He knows.
Qiao Xi would now show him a sense of dependence and tell him that she had a good impression of him. But there was no strong love for him in her eyes. Guan Zhiyuan could not forget that the look in Qiao Xi's eyes when she looked at Gu Xuanye was always sincere, passionate, and full of affection.
She would never look at herself like that.
Now there is dependence and affection in her eyes. But there is no passionate love. Even if he kisses her, she only does not refuse because of her girlfriend status. Qiao Xi takes the initiative to date him.
perhaps……
It was also because he kissed her on impulse, and she needed him to take responsibility.
Guan Zhiyuan knew that this was just a grand and reasonable excuse that Qiao Xi found to keep him by her side through self-hypnosis.
Qiao Xi is very fragile now and just needs someone to accompany her.
It doesn't matter if this person is not him.
When she becomes strong, she won't need him anymore. Guan Zhiyuan knows this, he understands it better than anyone else, in fact, he knows it better than anyone else. It's never that Qiao Xi depends on him or can't leave him, but that he himself can't leave Qiao Xi.
Even though, Qiao Xi's first choice will never be him.
But as long as I can be with her and have the qualification to be allowed to stay, that would be fine.
Guan Zhiyuan turned his back and didn't look at her.
He didn't want Qiao Xi to notice his expression. He was already in a miserable state. He had no idea how far he would be pushed by the ignorant Qiao Xi in front of him.
Forced to uncover those memories.
Every time I think of it, it is like a torture to myself, and it is also torment and punishment.
It’s because Qiao Xi knows nothing now.
That's why she appears to be naive and cruel.
“…”
Guan Zhiyuan turned around and didn't pay any attention to the girl behind him. He didn't want to see Qiao Xi's expression, nor did he want to see any sympathy or pity on the girl's face.
He doesn't need these handouts.
However, what Guan Zhiyuan didn't notice was that after he said that, Qiao Xi's expression gradually changed from disbelief to subtlety, and the girl covered her head.
Something seemed to be touched.
From the depths of her mind, it slowly poured in like a stream. Those dusty memories seemed to be awakened by someone repeating what she had said.
As these memory fragments become clearer and clearer.
The things about the person before her seemed to become clearer. There was no pain like the previous awakening of memories. Instead, like a curtain slowly being peeled back, those memories, once held in mystery, finally revealed their true nature.
Qiao Xi's expression changed slightly.
She remembered.
Why am I here and what is the reason for being here.
"Have a good rest tonight. Call me if you need anything."
Guan Zhiyuan was still busy making the bed for her without looking at her. After tidying up her room, he checked it once before turning to look at Qiao Xi.
Right now.
Qiao Xi had long since concealed the playful cunning in her eyes, and when Guan Zhiyuan looked over at her, she also curved her eyes and raised a sweet smile.
"Thank you, Zhiyuan. You're so thoughtful."
"It's okay." Guan Zhiyuan turned his eyes away from her who knew nothing. He could only suppress the emotions surging in his chest and turned around to leave the room.
See him running away.
For no apparent reason, Qiao Xi felt the urge to tease him again. She truly could never get enough of teasing Guan Zhiyuan. Regardless of whether her memories were blocked or not, her inability to resist teasing Guan Zhiyuan would remain unchanged.
"Can't you stay tonight?"
Guan Zhiyuan, who was about to leave, suddenly stiffened.
Something soft pressed against his back. He stiffened and slowly lowered his head, seeing Qiao Xi's hands, which had reached out to his waist without him noticing. The girl, as soft as a boneless bone, pressed against him, wearing only a thin layer of clothing.
This brings them closer.
It seemed that the atmosphere between the two of them gradually became ambiguous. Guan Zhiyuan realized that the mark on his body became hot because of Qiao Xi's touch.
In today's kiss.
He was already trying his best to suppress his rationality, and now he simply couldn't stand the girl's innocence and carelessness, which was a fatal provocation to him.
“…Stop it.”
Guan Zhiyuan suppressed his heavy breathing slightly, trying to make his deep voice sound normal. However, the warmth and softness behind him was something he couldn't ignore.
He tried to pull Qiao Xi's hand away roughly.
But the girl seemed to be leaning on him. Before Guan Zhiyuan could touch her, Qiao Xi's small hands lifted up his clothes on their own. Her soft and slender fingertips touched the skin under his clothes, vaguely outlining the lines of his abdominal muscles.
"Huh? Brother Zhiyuan turned out to be so self-disciplined."
The little girl's voice, somewhat surprised and unexpected, came from behind, as if it was an unintentional sigh.
However……
When Guan Zhiyuan heard her call, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and his whole body froze in place, unable to move.
An unusually familiar tone.
And also, these hands that loved to mess with him.
The thoughts in his mind were in a mess, and before Guan Zhiyuan could sort them out, the little hands had already become restless and quietly slid down to his strong waist. In the next second, they touched him unexpectedly.
“!!!”
This moment.
