Yokai Office

Zong Ci's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression was stunned for a moment.

"Zong, Team Zong, don't think I'm joking..." Shen Xi panicked, but seriously wanted to express his heart clearly, "I like you."

Another repetition.

Zong Ci clearly saw the truth in the other party's eyes.

After living for a thousand years, he experienced the feeling of being at a loss for the first time.His throat was a little tight, and he asked, "Where are you and An Yin? What's going on?"

"Ah?" Shen Xi was confused.

"The banquet was in the cubicle that day, and I saw you sticking very close."

As soon as Shen Xi heard this, his little head shook like a rattle, "No!"

"Team Zong, I only like you." Shen Xi's eager voice came, and he took another step forward, "I like it very much."

Zongci was silent for a while, and his mood was complicated for a while.

The bit of jealousy that had been hidden in my heart for the past few days disappeared without a trace.What followed was an unstoppable heartbeat.

"Team Zong." Seeing Zong Ci's silence for too long, Shen Xi's inner tension was gradually replaced by anxiety, "...Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't like me, I can chase you!"

The online strategy said that as long as you have a thick skin and use the right method, you will be able to catch up with the male god sooner or later.

This is the retreat Shen Xi left for himself.

Zongci saw through his uneasiness, and was about to comfort him when a face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Gradually, it coincided with Shen Xi in front of him.

In an instant, Zong Ci frowned, and all the surging enthusiasm cooled down instantly.He clasped his hands tightly, trying to restrain his emotions.

"Team Zong?" Shen Xi always felt that Zong Ci's mood was a bit strange.

But in the next second, Zong Ci restrained all his emotions, leaving only a cold and indifferent look.

"Shen Xi." The voice was so calm that there was no ups and downs.

"Huh?" Shen Xi called out cautiously, feeling more and more uneasy.

Zongci looked at him, the old smile completely disappeared from his eyes, and he said calmly, "...I don't like you, and I won't accept your confession."

Chill.

Shen Xi's expression dimmed.After a few seconds, he could barely show a smile, "No, it's okay. I can chase slowly..."

"No need." Zong Ci interrupted him, "We can only be subordinates."

The anticipation and enthusiasm in the eyes are completely wiped out.

Zong Ci's refusal was too strong and decisive, making Shen Xi at a loss as to what to do, so he could only stand there in a daze.He lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

"Sorry, I'm a little tired." Zong Ci's eyes flashed a momentary unbearable, and he hurried back to the room.

The door slammed shut.

Cut off all contact between the two.

Shen Xi bit her lip tightly, exhaled deeply several times, and then walked slowly back to the table.

Looking at the empty bowls on the table, he remembered the atmosphere when the two got along half an hour ago.

It seems that I personally broke this atmosphere.

The mist in his eyes suddenly gathered together, he wiped his eyes carelessly, and wiped away the moisture from his hands casually.

Bearing it again and again, Shen Xi finally couldn't restrain himself, and rushed back to the room with messy steps.

He looked at everything in the room and suddenly felt extremely strange.

——This is the home of Zong Ci from the beginning to the end.

——Even if I have a thick skin, no matter how long I hang on, there will still be a day when I leave.What's more, the current situation made it completely impossible for him to face Zongci.

Everything Zong Ci gave was too warm.Therefore, when he left suddenly and cruelly, it made Shen Xi feel cold all over.

He is self-righteous and takes himself too seriously.I always thought that Zong Ci would be different to me.

But now, rejection without any hope is more cruel than anything else.

Shen Xi bit her lip tightly, and sat down on the head of the bed, her eyes gradually blurred by the mist.

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Shen Xi subconsciously took it out and glanced at it. It was a text message from An Yin.

[Xiaoxi, don't be nervous, remember to find me if you have anything to do. 】An Yin is the only one who knows.

Shen Xi lowered his head, panicked in his heart, and directly dialed the phone.

"Hello, Xiaoxi?" An Yin's gentle voice came.

"Brother An..." In a low voice, there was still a little crying.

An Yin instantly sensed something was wrong, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"

"...Mistakes, we all made mistakes." Shen Xi sobbed uncontrollably, "He doesn't like me, he doesn't like me at all."

"It's my wishful thinking..."

Up to now, he didn't know how to face Zong Ci at all.

"Brother An, can you come and pick me up?"

"I can't live here anymore."

"I can't even see him."

Every word and every sentence makes people feel distressed.

An Yin couldn't be more clear that Shen Xi looks optimistic, but he is actually a person with little sense of security.Compared with An Yin, the elder brother whom he only met when he was a child, Shen Xi obviously regarded Zong Ci as more important.

He even treated Zong Ci as the only light.

Zong Ci's refusal was probably too harsh, and that's why he fell into a complete breakdown.

"Don't cry, I'll pick you up right now, you take care of your things obediently." An Yin has always treated Shen Xi as a younger brother, and now she is naturally anxious.

At the banquet that day, he could tell that Zong Ci treated Shen Xi differently.Even if you don't like it, you must have a good feeling.

Therefore, when Shen Xi wanted to confess to Zongci, he would nod in support.

But now, how could it become like this?

"... Come here quickly." Shen Xi responded.

Maybe it was because he cried too hard for a short time, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xi sobbed, took out his two suitcases, and packed them with difficulty.

However, the situation did not improve.

The spiritual power in his body seemed to be a little disordered, Shen Xi sensed something was wrong, and wanted to close his eyes and calm down to adjust.

Unexpectedly, a burst of intense pain surged up, Shen Xi choked for breath, his legs went limp, and he fell straight down.

"Bang!" His forehead hit the corner of the table, and after a short pain, he became dizzy.

Shen Xi fell to the ground, the double pain made him curl up into a ball, and he couldn't even utter a word.

A trace of warm liquid slid across his face, with a faint fishy smell.

"Um……"

Shen Xi stretched out his hand to wipe it with difficulty, and it was stained with a lot of red.

Spiritual power filled the body, flowing irregularly in the tendons.Wave after wave of pain made Shen Xi almost faint.

Just suddenly, the person who came to his mind - Zong Ci.

***

As soon as Zongci returned to the room, his mind was in a mess.

He thought of the disappointment in Shen Xi's eyes, his hands on both sides were clenched into fists, his eyes and eyebrows were full of complexity and pain.

Ordinary monsters only regard him as a thousand-year-old monster with powerful abilities.But there was one thing that he couldn't guarantee, and even feared it would happen.

The past is still vivid in his memory, he can't let himself be like this!

Now, if he could cut off Shen Xi's feelings for him and make Shen Xi safe and sound, even if he was entangled, he would be cruel.

Zong Ci stood by the window for a long time, but suddenly heard a knocking sound from the next room.

A trace of worry flashed across his brows and eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to leave.

Just as a last resort, he abruptly stopped his pace.

And in the next second, Shen Xi's cry sounded in Zong Ci's mind, it was telepathy.

【Zong team...】

Repressed and painful, Zong Ci's face suddenly changed, "... Shen Xi?"

***

The intense physical pain passed quickly.

Shen Xi put her hands on the ground, struggling to get up.

Suddenly, the electronic button on the door of the room rang and opened.Caught off guard, Zong Ci took a thorough look at his current embarrassment.

There was a cut on Shen Xi's forehead, a lot of blood oozed out, dripping onto the white sweater, the sight was shocking.Shen Xi was still lying on the ground without getting up, his face was incredibly pale compared to before.

Perhaps seeing Zong Ci suddenly, Shen Xi was stunned for a few seconds, but suddenly burst into strength, stood up unsteadily, and turned his back to Zong Ci.

"I accidentally fell down."

Extremely restrained words, but with a sad trill.

"...Zong team, sorry to bother you."

Zong Ci felt his breathing stagnate for no reason, and a sharp pain arose in his heart, covering all his self-control.

"What's going on?" Zong Ci walked over eagerly, just about to stretch out his hand to pull Shen Xi over, but the other side dodged him.

"I'm fine." Shen Xi took out a few pieces of tissue paper and casually covered the wound, "I'm just packing my things."

When Zongci heard his words, his attention shifted a little, and he fell on the suitcase beside the bed.

He paused, guessing what the other person was thinking, and felt blocked.But what he was more worried about was Shen Xi's situation.

"Don't worry about these things, just turn around and show me."

After all, he went to drag Shenxi again.

"No need!" Shen Xi suddenly turned around and shouted.When his eyes touched Zongci, he softened again, "Zongtu, really don't need it..."

please don't do this to me again...

Shen Xi actually had the urge to cry again.

It's just that the pain hit again, and his internal organs seemed to be squeezed, making him fall forward suddenly.

Zong Ci quickly caught him and hugged him in his arms.He soon noticed the strange spiritual power in Shen Xi's body.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was another full moon night.

It's just that Shen Xi's wave of spiritual power came extremely fiercely and abnormally.

"Let me go." Shen Xi was tortured by the pain, but still wanted to break free from Zong Ci's embrace, "I don't need you to worry about it."

Zong Ci forcibly hugged Shen Xi, but only used his spiritual power to stop the bleeding from the wound on his forehead.

"Don't make trouble, be good. When you stabilize, I will explain to you clearly." Zong Ci comforted him in a low voice, and took him to the bedside to sit down.

All the tough indifference and rejection are nothing but self-deception.

Seeing Shen Xi's current appearance, he couldn't ignore the deepest true emotion in his heart.

"I was wrong..." Zong Ci's words were full of self-blame and apology, "You don't know anything, I shouldn't have treated you like that."

The suppressed emotions finally collapsed, and the pain in body and heart broke out in an instant.

Shen Xi desperately wanted to break free from Zongci, and burst into tears, "I don't want to! I don't want to listen to you...I want to wait for Brother An to pick me up! Let go, let me go!"

The pain overwhelmed everything again, Shen Xi lost his strength and fell back.

The cloth was wet with tears, burning Zongci so painfully.

Shen Xi pressed against his chest, muffled, not sure if he was admonishing himself or telling Zong Ci.

"I don't like you anymore."

Zong Ci's arm around Shen Xi suddenly tightened, "Shen Xi."

"Ah..." Shen Xi was overwhelmed by the pain, and bit his lip with blood.

Consciousness becomes blurred, and almost all senses are withdrawn.

Zongci, who was already hugging him tightly, suddenly leaned forward and kissed him.
