After climbing the mountain, when Xia Xizhi returned home, it was already afternoon. Back at home, Xia Xizhi came directly to the study, but saw the figure of Ji Xiuyu. Seeing this, Xia Xizhi frowned curiously: "Strange, not in the study, did you go out?"

On weekends, Ji Xiuyu rarely goes to work. Both of them are busy with work on weekdays, so on weekends, they try to spend time with each other. It's just that because he was going to climb the mountain with Shu Yun this week, Xia Xizhi didn't accompany him.

Although curious, Xia Xizhi didn't think much about it, turned around and went back to the bedroom, ready to take a shower. Thinking of today's mountain climbing experience, Xia Xizhi felt that it was quite comfortable to be with friends. This feeling was somewhat foreign to her.

After taking a bath, Xia Xizhi was a little sleepy, so he went back to the bedroom to sleep. By the time I woke up again, it was already dark. With his stomach growling, Xia Xizhi sat up and grabbed his hair indiscriminately: "Hasn't Xiu Yu come back yet?" Lifting the quilt, Xia Xizhi walked downstairs suspiciously.

In the kitchen, the maid was already preparing dinner. Seeing her come down, he smiled and said, "Madam, dinner is ready, you and Mr. can come to dinner." ”

Hearing this, Xia Xizhi asked puzzledly, "Have you seen Xiuyu?"

Shaking his head, the servant replied truthfully, "Not yet." Then I'm busy with work, so I'll go back first. With that, the servant nodded at her and left.

Leaning on the railing, Xia Xizhi picked up his mobile phone and dialed Ji Xiuyu's phone. But as in the previous days, the phone was never answered. Seeing this situation, Xia Xizhi's heart was full of confusion. Shrugging his shoulders, Xia Xi went downstairs and prepared to start eating.

Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, it was ten o'clock in the evening. Seeing that Ji Xiuyu hadn't returned home yet, Xia Xizhi couldn't help but worry. "I haven't come back so late, and I haven't answered the phone, so something should happen, right?" Xia Xizhi thought solemnly.

wanted to call his friend, but Xia Xizhi sadly found that he didn't leave his friend's contact information. And now, she can only sit here. You can't do anything. At this moment, Xia Xizhi had an indescribable sense of frustration.

Sitting quietly at the head of the bed, Xia Xizhi's eyes always fell on the window. Seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, the panic in Xia Xi's heart deepened. I really can't rest assured, just when Xia Xizhi was about to call the police, there was a whistle downstairs. Xia Xizhi trotted quickly to the balcony, and sure enough, he saw a familiar car appear.

Seeing this, Xia Xizhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay." ”

After a while, footsteps were heard. Xia Xizhi came to the staircase and waited, seeing him appear, Xia Xizhi was just about to speak, and a strong smell of wine came to his nose. Seeing this, Xia Xizhi was surprised: "Why do you drink so much wine?" As he spoke, Xia Xizhi stretched out his hand and supported him with a gesture.

Seeing that her hand was about to touch him, a low and hoarse voice sounded coldly: "Don't touch me." ”

Huh? Looking at him dumbfounded, Xia Xizhi had already misheard: "What?"

Ji Xiuyu didn't speak, just walked past her calmly. Seeing this scene, Xia Xiyi's face was confused. "What's going on?" Xia said in confusion.

His brain was buzzing, but Xia Xizhi quickly reacted. Turning around and chasing after him, Xia Xizhi looked at his somewhat stumbling steps and said with concern: "Be careful." ”

Ji Xiuyu was silent and walked directly into the bedroom. When he came to the big bed, Ji Xiuyu leaned back directly and fell on the bed. Seeing this scene, Xia Xizhi suddenly didn't know what to do.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be like talking, Xia Xizhi was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go and put hot water for you to take a bath." With that, Xia Xizhi turned around and walked to the bathroom.

Listening to the footsteps leaving, Ji Xiuyu slowly opened his eyes. There was obvious pain in his eyes.

After putting the hot water, Xia Xizhi came to the room: "The bath water is ready, I'll help you in." ”

Ji Xiuyu sat up and said hoarsely: "No." Leaving these two words, Ji Xiuyu stood up and calmly walked to the bathroom. Seeing his appearance, Xia was puzzled.

"What's the matter, why did Haoxuan suddenly reject me? Could it be that he encountered something unhappy, or?" Xia Xizhi was puzzled. I racked my brains to think about it, but I couldn't guess the truth.

Sitting quietly on the bed and waiting, as if a century had passed, Ji Xiuyu returned to the bedroom. Seeing him, Xia Xizhi stopped talking.

Ji Xiuyu came to the other side of the bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down on the bed. Seeing this situation, Xia Xizhi spoke softly: "Xiuyu, what's wrong with you?"

Closing his eyes, Ji Xiuyu turned his back to her and said in a low voice: "I'm fine." It's earlier than the time, go to bed early. After speaking, Ji Xiuyu stopped talking.

Looking at his back, Xia Xizhi felt that he didn't want to communicate more. Looking at his side face for a while, Xia Xizhi said, "Okay, let's sleep well, good night." With that, Xia Xizhi pressed the switch of the light, and the whole environment was dark.

Lying on the bed, Xia Xizhi lay on his side. She found that Ji Xiuyu was lying on the edge, as if trying to distance themselves from each other. This feeling made her a little uncomfortable. I wanted to lean in his direction, but I was worried about encountering a situation like the one just now.

After struggling for a long time, Xia Xizhi called softly: "Xiuyu, have you slept?"

I waited for a moment, but I never heard his reply. Seeing this, Xia Xizhi muttered softly: "You should have fallen asleep, right?"

couldn't help but think of the scene when he just came back, Ji Xiuyu rejected him in that cold tone, and Xia Xi's heart tightened. After a while, Xia Xizhi said softly: "Sleep." As he spoke, Xia Xizhi turned around slightly, also with his back to him, looking in the other direction.

Hearing the calm behind him, Ji Xiuyu slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the pitch darkness, his lips couldn't help but purse involuntarily. Thinking that the woman he loved was behind him, he wanted to turn around and hug her, just like every night, he took her into his arms and fell asleep. However, reality did not allow him to do so.

Thinking that she was Xia Zhengguo's daughter, and then thinking that he was the culprit who caused Ji's mother to lose her life, Ji Xiuyu couldn't forgive. And he fell in love with the enemy's daughter. The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and an indescribable emotion was blocked in my chest.

Turning around and lying down, Ji Xiuyu stared at the ceiling, his fists clenched tightly all the time. His eyes narrowed slightly, staring at a certain point, and Ji Xiuyu asked heavily in his heart: "It's a pity, now, what should I do with you? Should I give up on you?"

The night was silent, and no one could give him an answer. For Ji Xiuyu, the night was also extremely long.
