Lu Min took Zheng Xiao's hand and said, "Xiao Xiao, let's go."
They didn't say a bad word about Lu Li, but the word "we" was enough to be a knife stuck in Lu Li's heart.
In a moment of collapse, Zheng Xiao brushed Lu Min's hand away.
Her tearful gaze fell on Lu Min, her eyes filled with unfamiliarity.
Lu Min was slightly stunned, a sense of panic about losing something important swept over him and enveloped his entire body.
Zheng Xiao glanced down at Lu Min's hand that was holding hers, and her tone suddenly became indifferent.
"Don't touch me."
"You disgust me."
Lu Min couldn't believe her ears: "Xiao Xiao, what did you say?"
Zheng Xiao looked at him: "You're not stuttering anymore? I see you reacted pretty quickly. Well, listen carefully, I said, don't touch me, you make me feel disgusted."
She forcefully pried Lu Min's hands away, took two steps back, and glanced at the two men in front of her.
"You people disgust me."
"Now, get out of my house."
"roll!"
When Zheng Xiao goes crazy, she really goes crazy. She turns around, goes to another room, finds a baseball bat, and smashes everything in the house that they might have touched to pieces.
Lu Li was only staying temporarily, and now that they're starting to kick him out, how can he possibly stay any longer?
He left with Lu Huan.
Lu Min wanted to say something more, but Jiang Zao directly blocked his way.
"I don't care what your purpose is in coming back, don't involve Xiaoxiao. Do you know how she's been living these past few years since you 'died'? If you knew, would you still feel proud and honored? After all, there was a foolish woman who completely changed herself for you? She even dyed her hair the silver-white color you like?"
Lu Min's expression darkened slightly: "Get out of the way."
"This is between Xiaoxiao and me."
Zheng Xiao pulled Jiang Zao over and shielded her behind him, pointing her baseball bat directly at Lu Min: "Get lost, don't force me to lay a hand on you."
Lu Min's expression changed instantly.
Whether it was a few years ago or a few years later, this was the first time Zheng Xiao had spoken to him in such a tone.
It was as if he were a monstrous flood, impossible to avoid.
"You already knew." Lu Min had guessed.
Zheng Xiao finally learned about his ugliest side.
Lu Min stopped pretending and looked up at Zheng Xiao with a possessive and obsessive gaze.
"No matter what, Xiaoxiao, my love for you is real. The days I spent with you were the happiest and most unforgettable of my life."
Zheng Xiao questioned, "Then what is fake?"
Lu Min remained silent.
Zheng Xiao continued, "The imprisonment was fake, those heartbreaking experiences were fake, the psychological trauma was fake, Lu Min, even our reunion was full of lies, how can I believe you!"
She pointed to the door again: "Get out."
Those once gentle eyes were now icy cold. "Don't force me to call the police."
Lu Min left, and the look he gave as he left startled Jiang Zao, who was standing to the side.
That kind of obsessive determination shows that he would never give up on Xiaoxiao easily.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you move in with the Fu family for a while?" Jiang Zao said, still worried.
Zheng Xiao didn't want to bother others: "I've been very busy lately, working day and night, so I'm afraid I'll disturb your rest. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Jiang Zao hugged Zheng Xiao tightly: "Baby, you don't need to pretend in front of me."
Zheng Xiao broke down completely, burying her face in Jiang Zao's arms and crying her heart out.
That evening, the two ordered a bunch of takeout and bought a lot of alcohol. They sat in the messy living room and started chugging straight from the bottle.
Zheng Xiao's face was constantly wet, and it was impossible to tell whether it was from tears or alcohol.
"Zaozao, don't you think I've been pretty stupid these past few years?" Zheng Xiao leaned back on the sofa, her lips curving upwards, but the smile only conveyed sarcasm and self-mockery.
Before Jiang Zao could speak, Zheng Xiao continued to mutter to himself: "Three times. I attempted suicide three times because of his death, and I hurt myself countless times. Every time I raced someone, I would floor the gas pedal, hoping the car would fly off the railing and fall off the cliff, thinking that would end it all, and it wouldn't be bad to be his ghost couple. But damn it, he's living a good life in the Golden Triangle, and he's probably even incredibly proud of himself because some stupid woman was willing to die for him and completely changed herself!"
Jiang Zao spoke very little tonight; she knew Zheng Xiao just needed someone to accompany her and listen to her.
Occasionally, he would lend Zheng Xiao his shoulder and a hug, allowing her to vent her emotions freely.
Outside the residential compound, a police officer knocked on Fu Yanci's car window.
"Someone reported you for behaving suspiciously. Please show your identification."
Not only that, the police officers also took the opportunity to give Fu Yanci a breathalyzer test.
After confirming that everything was in order, the officer asked, "Why has the car been parked here?"
Although this person has no prior criminal record, it does not mean he will not commit a crime in the future.
They might be scouting and reconnaissance for some future crime.
This was the first time in Fu Yanci's life that he had been questioned like this.
He explained helplessly, "My wife is at my best friend's house. I'm very timid and naive, and I'm afraid she won't dare to go home by herself in a while, so I'm waiting for her."
The police officer had never seen such a doting husband. "Um, is it possible that your wife slept at her best friend's house tonight?"
Fu Yanci smiled and said, "It's alright. She'll be going out tomorrow morning anyway, and it'll be more convenient for her if she needs anything late at night since I'm nearby."
Police officer: "..."
He finally figured out why he was single.
Because their servility is not strong enough.
As expected, Fu Yanci's precautions were effective.
At 2 a.m., he saw a car suddenly stop on the path on the side of the residential area.
Four shifty-eyed men simply scaled the wall and entered.
He immediately called Jiang Zao.
The phone rang for a long time, and Fu Yanci was about to get out of the car to go inside to look for the person when Jiang Zao finally answered.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zao's voice was tinged with drunkenness.
It was hazy and indistinct, lacking its usual aloofness, and exuding a touch of allure.
Fu Yanci didn't waste any words and got straight to the point: "Four people sneaked into the community. I'm not sure if they're after you, but you need to be on your guard now."
Jiang Zao's drunkenness subsided considerably in an instant, and she asked, "Are you outside the residential area?"
Fu Yanci got out of the car: "Okay, I'm coming over now. Remember, don't open the door for anyone except me, and close the balcony and windows."
Jiang Zao did as instructed, and then told Fu Yanci the room number and the password for the unit door.
After hanging up the phone, she went to call Zheng Xiao.
"Xiaoxiao?"
"Xiaoxiao!"
Zheng Xiao drank a lot; this time she was truly drunk.
"Lu Li, if you keep making noise, I'll dock your pay." She rolled over, grabbed an empty wine bottle to use as a pillow, and continued sleeping.
Jiang Zao was almost laughing in anger at her. Not long ago, she had angrily scolded Lu Li and even kicked him out, but now she was calling out his name in her dreams.
Indeed, love is an irrational thing.
