Chapter 16: Girlish Love
Zhao Ji received the text message from Li Shi inexplicably, and sat alone in the room, anxiously thinking about what Li Shi was doing.
At this time, there was no knock on the door.
A dark figure, pushing the door open, suddenly moved in.
Zhao Ji was taken aback, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Li Heng.
Li Heng walked in.
I saw that his face was sullen, but his mouth was full of sighs, and he didn't know what was on his mind.
When he entered the house, he was hunched like a bow and moved slowly, not like a young man. When he saw Zhao Ji sitting on the chair, he didn't say hello, but directly grabbed Zhao Ji's hand and shook it tightly.
Zhao Ji stood up and shook Li Heng's hand.
That hand, cold.
Li Heng's eyes were blazing, with a high-spirited expression on his face, his body trembled slightly, and his emotions seemed to be extremely excited, as if he was about to explode at any time.
"Why are you here all of a sudden?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise, "You rarely come here." β
Li Heng took a chair in his hand, sat down in front of Zhao Ji.
"Zhao Ji, do you know?" With a reluctant smile, he hesitantly began to say, "Three days ago, I surprised you with the life experience of Li Shi. What I said today will only surprise you even more. β
"How...... What's wrong? β
Zhao Ji was startled and sat down as well.
"If it were someone else, I probably wouldn't have made up my mind...... So straightforward to you...... Say these things. However, I believe that you are a fair and honest man, and you are my worthy friend, right? β
Li Heng's voice became high-pitched and bright, and the middle finger of his right hand kept tapping on the table.
"Do you need to say it? Of course, the two of us are good friends. β
Zhao Ji was nervous, his facial expression twitched, and he looked extremely unnatural, not knowing what Li Heng was going to say about what happened unexpectedly.
"Listen to me, my sister Li Shi, she is in love with you." Li Heng repeated, "Zhao Ji, do you know? She's really in love with you. β
When Zhao Ji heard this, his whole body trembled, and he didn't get up slightly......
"Your sister, you mean...... Love ......"
He pointed outside, meaning Li Shi; And he pointed to his chest, meaning to himself.
"Yes, yes," Li Heng interrupted Zhao Ji.
"Listen to me, my sister is crazy, and she will drive me crazy."
"Crazy? She was still ...... when I left."
Zhao Ji pretended to shrug his shoulders easily.
"Well, when you left, my sister, she wasn't feeling well and was lying in bed all the time."
ββ¦β¦β
"Still, she's kind-hearted and doesn't lie β she trusts me. Ah! This girl thinks a lot and thinks a lot...... She will ruin the happiness of her life. I think she will. β
"Are you mistaken? She's such a quirky girl, will she fall in love with me? β
Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and asked tentatively deliberately.
"No, I'm not mistaken, I'm really not mistaken, I'm sure she's in love with you."
"Oh......"
Zhao Ji looked both surprised and sad, and a little worried.
"Yesterday, as you know, she lay down almost all day without eating, but she didn't say she was sick...... She never said anything about her illness. β
"Is she really sick?"
"Well, I think soβalthough she had a fever in the evening, I wasn't worried. But at one o'clock last night, the proprietress knocked on the door and woke me up. β
"What did she say?"
"The proprietress said that she was on night duty at night and heard my sister coughing incessantly in the room, and she went in to take a look and said that my sister seemed to have a fever, and she seemed to be sick...... Now go and see her! β
"Ah...... She's really sick! β
Zhao Ji muttered a little worriedly.
"Yes. I didn't have time to change my clothes, so I ran to her room in my pajamas and saw her tears running down her face, and she was so emotional that she was out of control. β
ββ¦β¦β
"I touched her forehead with my hand, and the fever was really terrible, and I could see her teeth chattering."
"Ouch...... What's wrong with her? Is it so sick? β
"It's really serious. When my sister saw me coming in, she threw her arms around my neck and began to plead with me to take her away as soon as possible if she wanted to live...... Leave ......"
"What does she mean by that?"
I didn't quite understand what she meant, so I tried to comfort her...... She cried harder...... Suddenly I could hear her weeping and whimpering......"
"What do you hear?"
"Zhao Ji, really, in short, I can hear it, she is in love with you."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, please trust me! You and I are both sensible and empathetic people...... None of us can imagine how deep her feelings are for you...... So deepβ"
"Ah......h
"My sister, what an incredible power she has for you is now manifesting in her."
ββ¦β¦β
"The love for you is like a storm to her, with the wind and the mud and sand, the lightning and the rain mixed with the hail, so swift, so unexpected, so irresistible."
"I really didn't feel it...... Just blame me for being careless......"
"You can't be blamed for that, of course. I know that you are a big brother who is pleasant and sincere. β
Li Heng continued.
"Actually, I didn't figure it out either. My sister kept crying and telling me that she had been in love with you since the first time she saw you. β
"It was love at first sight! It's all my fault......"
Zhao Ji blamed himself and beat his chest.
"The other day, my sister cried and assured me that she didn't want to love anyone but me. Li Shi didn't dare to love you, because she thought you looked down on her, and thought that you probably knew what kind of person she was. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Li Shi once asked me if I told you about her life experience ,ββ me...... Of course I didn't dare to tell her what I told you, I was afraid that she would be anxious......"
"Li Heng, I know, you trusted me, so you told me Li Shi's life experience, and I don't blame you for this."
"But my sister is extremely sensitive, and she seems to have sensed what I told you. She only wants to do one thing, get out of here, leave right away, don't want to see you again. β
"Ah......h
"The more she loves, the more she hates. She loves you, but she hates her own lowly origins. She kept crying......"
"And then?"
Later, I sat with her in her room until dawn in the morning. I had to promise herβwe'd pack up and leave quietly tomorrowβand she would fall asleep peacefully. β
"Oh...... Did she really leave me so cruelly? β
"I thought about it, but I made up my mind to come over - to talk to you."
"Li Heng, tell me, what should I do?"
"I don't know! In my opinion, my sister Li Shi is right, we had better get out of here and never see you again, maybe she will calm down a little. It's good for her, she can't stand the toss and blows. β
"So you think so......"
"So what's the solution? If I hadn't had a strange thought in my head that stopped me in time, I would have taken her away early this morning, maybe ......"
"But,...... What's that weird thought? β
"This strange thought, I have to figure out your mind - do you like my sister? If so, why should I take her away? After putting aside all the worries about saving face, I made up my mind to ......"
"I like her!"
Zhao Ji replied affirmatively.
"Of course, I'm a little aware...... So I made up my mind...... Ask in front of you to make it clear. Li Heng felt embarrassed, "Please forgive me for my recklessness!" β
He added, "I'm really not used to dealing with such nerve-wracking things for my sister. β
Zhao Ji took Li Heng's hands and shook them gently.
"Li Heng, are you trying to figure out ......" Zhao Ji said in a blunt tone, "You want to find out if I like your sister, right?" β
Li Heng nodded embarrassedly.
"Now I'm telling you unequivocally that I like her...... Love her ......"
Li Heng looked at Zhao Ji's manly and well-defined face.
"But ......," Li Heng said hesitantly, "you don't marry her, you're just joking, right?" β
"How can you say that about me? What do you want me to answer you? Li Heng, please think for yourself, I can ...... now"
Zhao Ji hadn't thought of marrying Li Shi so far, and he was a little hesitant-
