Xiao Ci trembled slightly and turned around to see Lin Zhiyi standing behind him with a pale face.
"Zhiyi——" He stepped forward subconsciously.
Lin Zhiyi stepped back and avoided him. She lowered her eyes and did not look at him, because she was afraid that she would cry out of sadness.
Because at this moment, her heart hurt as if someone had stabbed a knife, but she still tried her best to control herself so that she would not collapse too much.
But one could still hear her voice trembling slightly as she said: "I never understand why you always stay away from me. You always give me a little hope at the right time every time I want to give up."
At this point, it seemed that he finally gathered the courage to look up and face him: "Now I finally understand.
Xiao Ci, you must be very proud to see me worrying about you, struggling with myself over and over again for you, and playing with me like this, right?"
She never thought that the truth would be like this.
Xiao Ci looked at the red eyes, his heart ached, and denied: "No -".
"What is that?" His explanation was interrupted by Lin Zhiyi, who asked: "Is everything I just heard false?"
She wished it was false, but her reason did not allow her to deceive herself and others like this.
Maybe he was too angry, and Lin Zhiyi's mood finally got a little higher because he couldn't control it. After all, no one would really stay calm at this time.
After spending these days together, Xiao Ci still understands her.
The reason why he chose to trick her into going abroad on his own and ended up in this way was because he didn't want her to face this scene.
But after all, he underestimated her importance in his heart, and he didn't escape it after all.
Xiao Ci subconsciously wanted to hold her in his arms, but Lin Zhiyi raised her hand and slapped him instead.
Snapped!
As the sound of flesh colliding with each other resounded in the room, Xiao Cijun's face was hit to one side. Several fingerprints clearly landed on it, and even a little blood spilled from the corners of his lips.
But they didn't move for a moment, and the space became quiet, as if even time had stopped.
It wasn't until a few seconds passed that the two of them seemed to have recovered.
Xiao Ci saw that she was no longer so excited, so he wanted to step forward again.
Lin Zhiyan suddenly stood in front of his sister and warned in a deep voice: "Don't touch her."
Of course Xiao Ci would not touch Lin Zhiyi, but when he saw Lin Zhiyan's face in his eyes, there was deep hatred in his eyes.
"Get out of the way." His tone became colder, as if he could split him in half at any time.
Coincidentally, Lin Zhiyan was in the same mood, so they faced off silently.
The powerful aura of the two men made the whole room smell like crackling gunpowder.
War is about to break out.
But at this moment, Lin Zhiyi tugged on her brother's sleeve and said, "Brother, let's go."
The damage had been done, and she didn't want her brother to use force to solve the problem.
Lin Zhiyan obviously didn't want to let Xiao Ci go, but he knew that his sister must be very heartbroken.
She needed to leave here as soon as possible, she needed to heal her wounds, or cry in a place where no one was around, so Lin Zhiyan held back all her anger.
He said, "Okay." He took Lin Zhiyi's hand and left.
Xiao Ci stopped them directly. He looked past Lin Zhiyan and looked directly at Lin Zhiyi behind him. He seemed to have a lot to say, but he couldn't say it.
Because he had no excuse, because he already knew that when everything was revealed, he would no longer be able to keep her, but he just didn't want her to leave.
"Xiao Ci, if you want to die, let's make an appointment somewhere else." Lin Zhiyan gritted his teeth and looked at him.
He should be lucky. If it weren't for his sister's presence, he would have been torn into pieces right now.
Xiao Ci turned a deaf ear and just looked at Lin Zhiyi stubbornly.
But when Lin Zhiyi met his seemingly affectionate eyes, besides pain, she only felt great irony: "Xiao Ci, the lie has been exposed.
Even if I, Lin Zhiyi, fall in love again, I will never be deceived by your performance again."
In her opinion, everything Xiao Ci did was just a ploy to deceive herself, so she might as well make it clear to him and not waste her efforts.
Xiao Ci had known this would be the result, but he couldn't stand her cold look at this moment, especially the mocking smile on her lips, which was like a sharp dagger cutting into his heart.
His figure swayed, as if he couldn't bear it.
Lin Zhiyan knocked him away and led Lin Zhiyi out of the guest room.
When Xiao Ci regained consciousness and chased after him, the two of them had already entered the elevator.
In the closed space, except for the constantly changing numbers on the display, it seemed like there was no breathing.
Lin Zhiyan took off his coat and wrapped it directly around his sister. She wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.
However, Lin Zhiyi buried her face in his arms and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for embarrassing you and dad."
She now regrets not listening to her brother. If she had listened, she would not have so many entanglements with Xiao Ci.
Now she stupidly came to the door by herself and was teased around. What's the difference between this and Xiao Ci stepping on their faces to humiliate them.
"No, it's our fault, it's us who have caused you trouble." Thinking of the harm his sister had suffered, Lin Zhiyan also blamed himself and felt guilty.
He was too careless. When he first met Xiao Ci and said his surname was Xiao, he should have been wary.
Ding!
When the elevator reached the first floor, Lin Zhiyan held Lin Zhiyi in his arms, trying not to attract other people's attention.
After walking through the hall and going out, the driver had already driven the car and parked it at the door.
After the two of them got into the car one after another, they left directly.
It was during the morning rush hour, and there was noisy traffic outside, but it was unusually quiet inside the car.
Especially the driver felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After silently lowering the barrier, the space seemed even smaller and duller.
"Don't go home, my parents will be worried if they see me like this." After a long silence, Lin Zhiyi spoke.
"They made an appointment with someone to go to the hot springs in the mountains, and they won't be back until tomorrow." Lin Zhiyan reassured her.
"But -" She wanted to admit that she was very sad, as sad as if she was about to die. One night was probably not enough.
The most important thing is that she feels that she has no strength and pretends to be relaxed in front of her parents for a short period of time.
"You can do whatever you want. This matter involves the Xiao family, and they will know about it sooner or later." Lin Zhiyan said.
The affairs of the Xiao family are relatively complicated, and he cannot hide this from his father.
"What happened back then?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
Why has she never heard of any grudges between her family and the Xiao family? Because it has affected her, she is even more eager to know the whole story.
"Go home first." The car was obviously not the place to talk about this.
Lin Zhiyi nodded and said no more.
Although she was quiet, Lin Zhiyan knew that she was sad.
After all, this is her first love, the first time she treats a man with no blood relationship wholeheartedly. He can easily affect her emotions and control his joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
Lin Zhiyan secretly clenched his fists in hatred when he thought of his sister, whom he had held in his hands since childhood, being hurt like this.
