The sky in Seoul, South Korea seems to be extremely dark at this moment, without a ray of light that can completely illuminate people's hearts.

Cui Yingdao confronted Cui Dongxu, who was already livid with anger, without retreating, and the expression on his face relaxed a little after seeing Zhixi coming out of the next room.

"Liu Zhixi..." He called her, but saw tears in her eyes, and a clear fingerprint on her right cheek. He paused subconsciously, and watched her walk out of the door in front of his eyes .

He clenched his fists in frustration, and the haze in his eyes gradually spread.

"So you kid, do you think you have done a lot of great things?" Cui Dongxu looked at Cui Yingdao with a gloomy face, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc.

"What should I do?" Cui Yingdao let out a sigh, pulled the red tie on his neck, looked at his father who was half a head lower than himself with cold eyes, "I don't regret it, father. "

After he dropped these words, he strode out the door, and the anxiety in his eyes still revealed the uneasiness in his heart.

"This kid!" Cui Dongxu flicked the coffee cup on the table to the ground angrily. He didn't like the feeling of not being under his control, and he didn't like...his son against his will!

Cui Yingdao didn't take a few steps outside the door when he saw Liu Zhixi's slender figure walking forward stubbornly in the cool night.

"Liu Zhixi..." He took a slight step forward, and unconsciously lowered his voice when he saw her lonely figure.Seeing that she was still walking forward with no intention of stopping, he frowned annoyedly, walked up quickly and grabbed her arm, and pulled her back at once, "Don't go any further Let's go..." He saw her biting her lips tightly, tears overflowing from her eyes, turning into cold liquid and sliding down her face.His eyes gradually became deep, and he sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry, Zhixi..."

Cui Yingdao, who never said sorry words, was saying sorry words to her at this time.

"Cui Yingdao, you...do you have to hurt everyone to be happy?" Liu Zhixi threw away his hand with red eyes, and stared at him, "Why did you do this...why!"

His thrown hand hung in mid-air somewhat bewilderedly, and it took a while for it to slowly hang to the side of his body.

"Although I'm sorry, but..." He stared at her with only seriousness in his eyes, "This is the best way I can think of, and it's also... the way that best expresses my determination, so Liu Zhixi "He gradually clenched his hands hanging on both sides of his body, only her figure was left in his eyes at this moment, and the heart that had been numb for a long time also began to beat slowly. For a moment, "I like you, please stay by my side, don't... run away again."

She looked at Cui Yingdao with a flash of panic in her eyes, and seeing him looking so serious before, the words she wanted to say were choked in her throat.

"so……"

"So what you say about Cui Yingdao..." Cui Yingdao's hopeful words were interrupted by Ji Xi's sudden jjj words. Looking up at Cui Yingdao, "I'm afraid we won't even be able to be friends. This incident has also taught me a lesson. You must... stay away from Cui Yingdao so that you won't get hurt."

She turned around, did not look at Cui Yingdao's expression, the complex light in her eyes was flowing, and finally walked forward firmly and left here.

Cui Yingdao stood in place and watched her thin figure disappear from his sight, with some difficulty pulling a self-deprecating smile from the corner of his mouth.

"What is it, Cui Yingdao, the confession that has been prepared for so long, is it rejected so decisively..." He lowered his head and looked at his hand that still had her warmth, and sighed, "I'm going crazy, My heart...why is it so uncomfortable..."

Jin Tan was driving a blue sports car and galloping on the street mentioned in Liu Rachel's text message. He glanced to the right from time to time to look at the passing crowd, and his mouth was always tightly pursed because of nervousness.

"What the hell happened, Zhixi..." He recalled that Liu Rachel didn't finish his sentence, and the constant guessing in his heart already made him irritated.

"Ah-"

The eye-catching blue sports car finally came to a sudden stop on the side of the road. Jin Tan turned his head and looked at Zhi Xi who was sitting alone under the faint street lights, and saw that she was wearing only one coat on such a cold night. She wore a thin knee-length skirt, her nose and cheeks were a little red from the cold, and a few strands of hair were stuck to her face with tears.

His breath also seemed to be choked by someone, and he felt aching and uncomfortable seeing her like this.

A passing truck, with its bright headlights on, passed quickly by his car, kicking up a chilly wind and dust in the air.

He squinted his eyes because of the strong light, and when he looked in her direction again, he saw that Zhi Xi was also looking in his direction.

Jin Tan directly opened the car door and walked over to where she was sitting. Seeing her distressed appearance, his eyes were filled with distress, "So you don't know how to take care of yourself?"

He took off his coat and wrapped it directly around her.

At this moment, Liu Zhixi suddenly chuckled, her embarrassed appearance did not detract from her temperament, "Senior Jin Tan, what are you doing now?"

"I'm protecting you." He stood in front of her, his slender figure being elongated by the faint street lamp.

The remaining warmth on the clothes rushed to her icy limbs quickly, but was firmly resisted by her heart.She took a deep breath, looked up at Jin Tan who was staring at her, "Protect me? Maybe you, Senior Jin Tan... like me too?"

"Yes, I like you, Liu Zhixi." Jin Tan was unexpectedly cheerful, and his voice gradually softened, "I really like you."

"Why do you want to like it?" Her voice also raised a little bit, her eyes sparkling, "It's not that I don't know you and don't remember you, and I have a marriage contract with my sister, why...why do you still like me?"

"I don't know, I'm also very angry with myself like this!" He looked at her emotionally, and his clenched fists slowly loosened when he saw the tears in her eyes, "When I saw your alienated and indifferent I will tell myself that she doesn't remember you anymore, don't be persistent anymore, but... Then I will say to myself, it doesn't matter, as long as I remember you, as long as I want to protect you What to do... what am I going to do again!"

She turned her face away, bit her lower lip tightly, and said with a trembling voice, "So...just stop liking me, I already...don't remember you, you..."

"I can't do it," Jin Tan directly interrupted her words, the light in his eyes became more and more intense, "Because I like you, because... I have liked you since then, so I can't stop liking you... "

The light of the street lamp was flickering slightly, and the faint light seemed to have withdrawn the last trace of power at this moment, leaving only endless shadows on the faces of the two people...

The time passed by every minute and every second, and the hour and minute hands slowly approached, and finally turned into a formulaic angle.

The night also became darker, and the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared in the villa, only the lights in various rooms were unrestrainedly turned on like daytime.

After wiping the water stains in the bowl for his mother, Che Enshang turned his sore neck and walked across the courtyard to his room, but he saw Jin Tan sitting by the fountain.

Jin Tan was sitting on the edge of the fountain, wearing only a thin white shirt, but with a blank expression on his face.

Che Eunshang's mouth moved, and he finally walked in another direction. After a while, he walked towards Jin Tan with an army green velveteen coat in his hand, and covered him directly. Then she clapped her hands and sat beside him, "Although she looks very healthy, but...you will still catch a cold."

"Thank you." Jin Tan said this lightly without looking at her, and then took a sip of the beer beside him.

"Just now... saw you driving out in a hurry, Madam asked me several times." Seeing that Jin Tan was in a bad mood, she asked cautiously.

"I went to look for her." Jin Tan's eyes dimmed a bit, remembering that she left him and left resolutely in the end, he couldn't help but put on a wry smile, "But... it seems that there is no good result."

Che Enshang stared blankly at the bitterness in Jin Tan's eyes, recalled his current mood, sighed lightly and looked up at the faint starlight in the sky, "Jin Tan, do you know that I... have always hated... no , It should be jealousy," she laughed self-deprecatingly, "I have always been jealous of Liu Zhixi, jealous of her having such a good family background, having such a perfect appearance, and having a sister who is very good to her despite her superficial arrogance, And..." Her words stopped suddenly.

And...you who like her so much, Jin Tan...

That's what I'm most jealous of...

At this time, the door of the originally pitch-black broadcasting room was pushed open, and with the sound of a switch, bright lights illuminated every corner.

Liu Zhixi sat on the sofa with a tired face, still wearing Jin Tan's clothes, and slowly lay down on the sofa like this.

She was clutching the collar of the coat tightly, her right cheek was a little swollen, and her eyes were still red, but she was looking absent-mindedly and didn't know where to look.

"Pa—" a mobile phone fell from Jin Tan's coat pocket to the ground.

Her eyes were attracted by the sound, and she reached out to pick up the phone, but the screen of the phone lit up because she accidentally touched the button, and the screen saver was a photo of her looking back in a wheelchair in a daze.

She stared blankly at the picture, her eyes slowly filled with water vapor, her body trembled slightly, and she covered her mouth with her hand tightly to prevent herself from crying, but tears continued to flow from her fingers , fell on the thick carpet.

Silently.
