Chapter 149: Gradual Reckoning

Li Xuanci didn't understand the reason for Zhong Ziyi's disappointment, she was usually too lazy to understand these things.

But after all, there is something to ask for at the moment, she was afraid that Zhong Dashao would misunderstand something, so she hurriedly explained: "Brother Ziyi, don't think about it, these have nothing to do with Shen You, they are all my sincere words - we have known each other for so many years, no matter what happens, you are by my side, of course I can see that you are good to me, and of course I like you." What's more, the Li family and the Zhong family are world friends, and the elders of the two families in the early years still wanted to make us a couple, this time I am serious, if Canran's crisis passes, isn't it logical for the two of us to be together?"

Zhong Ziyi squinted slightly, silently looking at the delicate and moving face of the girl opposite.

Under the colorful light of the crystal lamp, Li Xuanci's silhouette seems to have the precipitation and elegance of an oil painting, and the soft light of warm yellow tones outlines her flawless face, perhaps because it is too beautiful and moving, and even the panic that is unconsciously revealed is a bit beautiful.

The elegant environment of the high-end western restaurant, the soothing and beautiful piano music, the delicate rose exudes an intoxicating fragrance, lingering in the nose one by one, Li Xuanci's words have not completely faded from the cry, the faint nasal voice makes her voice delicate, it seems gentle and soft.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like years of perseverance and hard work, and it is about to achieve positive results.

But this kind of sugar is clearly just drinking to quench your thirst.

Zhong Ziyi understands Li Xuanci's temperament too well, and he knows how much truth and some falsehood in these words is, so that even the slightest emotion similar to being moved or happy seems ironic, and all that is left in his heart is almost uncontrollable anger.

Li Xuanci said such a thing, whether it was a beauty trick that had to be used in order to calculate, it was only after a setback that he finally knew that he regretted it, Zhong Ziyi didn't care, and he felt that it didn't matter, he only knew that what he said was like water spilled out, and it was always difficult to collect the water.

This is Li Xuanci forcing him to let go of all the good things he once had.

If it is the reminiscence of the past between the two people, Zhong Ziyi may only feel stunned and sigh that there is no fate. If Li Xuanci is very objective to discuss whether Zhong Ziyi can help her, and to what extent, Zhong Ziyi will only do business, and even soften his heart because of affection.

Either way, it doesn't make him feel too ridiculous.

But Li Xuanci chose the most wrong way.

In the silent time, Zhong Ziyi recalled Li Xuanci's once smiling and beautiful appearance, her proud and flamboyant fifteen-year-old, wanton and arrogant eighteen-year-old, twenty-year-old who was heaven and earth, and finally twenty-three years old. The bits and pieces of getting along have become particularly clear, Zhong Ziyi still remembers those days that were not glorious, whether it was heartbeat, protection or even hard work, it was all given by him unilaterally, he thought that Li Xuanci, who was nervous, didn't know, and vaguely hoped that she would see through something, but he didn't want her to see it too thoroughly.

Then, take this relationship completely in your hands.

Many times in the past, Zhong Ziyi wanted to draw a clear line with Miss Li, but he couldn't say goodbye at all, every time he didn't completely want to leave, he was pulled back by those feelings that had not yet been liquidated, and then a new round of consumption began. The so-called drawing of a clear line flashed in my mind, and it also became meaningless formalism, all the twists and turns and grievances were insignificant, and Li Xuanci was innocent, and he would not understand Zhong Ziyi anything.

However, what is Li Xuanci talking about now-

She said, Brother Ziyi, I know you are good to me.

I like you too.

This sentence is too cheap, so cheap that it is not worth the hard work that Zhong Ziyi has spent on her over the years, and it is so cheap that it is carefully regarded as a treasure by Zhong Ziyi, in Li Xuanci's eyes, it is just something that can be said casually without any emotion, so Zhong Ziyi has waited for so many years to respond, but it has only become a joke, and it is a bit ridiculous to even feel sad.

So much so that Zhong Ziyi suddenly felt that his long-term insistence was child's play.

It's not worth it.

.......

These intricate thoughts have been turned around several times in Zhong Ziyi's thoughts, those who are not remembered enough, those who are deeply rooted in the bottom of my heart can not be forgotten, and those who are gradually reluctant to mention after many years, but they are still reluctant to forget after several fermentations...... All the shattered memories suddenly came alive, gushing out uncontrollably, looping like a slideshow.

Recalling those tug-of-war years, the whole barren youth memory, Zhong Ziyi really liked Li Xuanci, all the unspeakable love words were silent, and finally involved obscure thoughts all over the world. He knew that Miss Li saw everything thoroughly, and he also knew that she was unwilling to give any response, but he was still reluctant to leave, and he was willing to offer all his weaknesses with his own hands, probably because he felt that liking was just a matter of one person.

As long as she feels happy, it's good that there is no result, and it's good to guard silently.

Everything is good.

For these things, Zhong Ziyi has never delved into the unfairness of the public, and he has always been among thousands of flowers, and once a person who does not touch the leaves falls in, he is the most simply trapped. For this kind of unrequited love without even a brain, even Su Yiyang, who is a small hair, is inconvenient to say more - after all, Su Yiyang can see that Zhong Ziyi's whole heart is tied to Li Xuanci's body, presumably no matter how much others persuade him, he can't persuade him to come naturally, so he can only wait for him to think about it.

If you don't really have feelings, who can be willing to be consumed for more than ten years, Zhong Ziyi is obviously very affectionate, and he has been involved all the way by love words.

But at this moment, those emotions that were constantly interrupted suddenly broke off.

Zhong Ziyi carefully recalled the moments when Li Xuanci moved his heart, but everything became blurry. To this day, he traces back in time, but his memories seem to be shrouded in a vast fog, and even the memories seem unfamiliar, as if those emotions mixed with "reluctant to be inseparable and can't let go" have become insignificant in an instant.

Since the entanglement over the years has become a bargaining chip that can be used by the other party.

Still, forget it.

"What makes it logical for us to be together, where did you put me, and where did you put that boyfriend of yours...... I deserve to be a spare tire for you, when the third party between you and Shen You can't succeed?" It was probably a lot of emotions that affected Zhong Ziyi's remaining sanity, he tried his best to be calm, but he still couldn't control his anger, and his mouth was the smell of gunpowder that couldn't be stopped.

"I admit that I've been quite a bastard over the years, there are a lot of beautiful girls around me, and I don't do a lot of bastard things, but I at least have principles, I haven't let anyone down, and I know what kind of people I can't touch - don't mess with people who have a partner, this is the most basic principle, so you have a boyfriend and want to have an affair with me, don't you? And Li Xuanci, don't you think it's an insult to me to say this kind of thing, what do you think?"

"Brother Ziyi, don't get me wrong, you listen to me tell you slowly..... There are a lot of problems between me and Shen You, he is a good partner, even a mentor and a good friend, but definitely not a good lover. Or in other words, he doesn't have you for me, and you don't have you for me. What's more, we unmarried men and women are unmarried, and we are qualified to choose, and I only realize now that you are the most suitable for me, so I want to be with you, is there anything wrong with this, not to mention ......"

Speaking of this, Li Xuanci's tone paused slightly, almost coquettishly laughed, her slender fingertips pinched the wine glass, the clear yellow liquid reflected the halo projected by the crystal lamp, and then shook into her eyes with the action of gently shaking the goblet, as if there were dazzling waves in her eyes.

Li Xuanci's voice was unhurried, and when the conversation changed from the internal struggle of the Canran Group to the emotional showdown between her and Zhong Ziyi, her confidence and determination seemed to have returned, and the arrogance and superiority of the eldest lady were full of aggression, so it was clear that this was a question, but she directly used an affirmative tone.

"Brother Ziyi, you actually like me, right?"

Facing Zhong Ziyi's unexplained gaze, Li Xuanci's beautiful eyes smiled and looked straight back. With a firm confidence in her words, she finally faded away from the layers of camouflage in the past, she didn't want to pretend to be stupid anymore, and she didn't bother to play the little trick of the game between hunters and prey with Zhong Ziyi, but simply put everything on the table.

"You have taken special care of me since I was a child, and when I was still in school, you secretly settled the things that I couldn't do in school, right....... And you graduated from the military academy, and you didn't go directly to the army according to Uncle Zhong's intentions, but turned your head to set up geometric propaganda, also for me, what I said back then made you sad?"

Adhering to the principle that the loser does not lose the battle, at this time, no matter what the truth is, Zhong Ziyi has no reason to directly recognize it, he raised his eyebrows and laughed lightly, and his tone was a little careless, as if he was talking about something very insignificant.

"I said Miss Li, why did you open your mouth and start arranging me, we do have an unusual relationship with children, but how should I decide on major events in my life, and what does it have to do with you?"

But obviously, Li Xuanci is not so easy to fool, her fingers are around the hair hanging down her cheeks, the delicate Japanese manicure reflects the bright light, she slightly raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Ziyi, a pair of beautiful eyes turned a little bit, and she saw all the emotions of the person opposite, so she continued to talk to herself.

"You've liked me since I was a child, and now you still have the love I typed behind the notes on your phone, right? Actually, you can't deny me privileges, even when you're most angry with me, you still can't let me go....... So, since you like me, why don't you cherish the opportunity to be together, Brother Ziyi?"
