Chapter 213 Are you tired?
Jiang Yi sat on the rooftop, letting the wind brush against her cheeks, looking back at Chi Ruiche's gaze, a strange sense of familiarity filling her mind.
“Che”.
The name slipped out of Jiang Yi's mouth, and as she stared blankly, the water glass slipped from her hand, and she caught her breath.
Chi Ruiche's mind was thrown into turmoil at that moment.
"all."
Chi Ruiche called her name in a trembling voice, his eyes immediately reddening.
Jiang Yi's face turned pale, pain surfaced in her eyes, her brows furrowed, and her voice choked in her throat. This call had finally broken through her long-held defenses.
Her thoughts were in complete disarray, and her whole body felt as if it were frozen.
"You're afraid of him."
"He cannot show up."
A voice from the depths of Jiang Yi's heart called out to her, stirring her emotions.
Chi Ruiche noticed her change, slowly approached her, and took her hand.
Jiang Yi shook her head repeatedly in disbelief, taking steps back, her eyes vacant as if she had lost all hope, her expression becoming numb, but fear still dominated her, and she wanted to get away.
"Go away, you lied to me."
"Yi-yi, it's me, Che. Do you...remember me?"
Chi Ruiche's eyes were red; she was afraid of him.
"Go away, don't come near me."
Jiang Yi shook off his hand. She had no idea what was wrong with her. She was emotionally out of control, every nerve in her body was filled with pain, and she was screaming to get away from him.
Jiang Yi knew he was Chi Ruiche, but why was she so sad? Her body and mind couldn't bear anything about him.
"I don't want to see you, go away."
Jiang Yi's voice grew louder and louder, each shout tearing Chi Ruiche's heart apart.
The moonlight shone on Jiang Yi's helpless face, her eyes glistening with tears, as if she would vanish at the slightest touch.
"Can I stay?"
A tear slid down his face. Chi Ruiche moved his steps with difficulty, wanting to grasp something, but he hesitated to step forward.
Her voice was choked with emotion, filled with grievance and heartache.
Jiang Yi's unfocused eyes focused at this moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and he stared at him blankly.
Chi Ruiche stared at her with heartache, but when he met her gaze, it was as still as a deep lake, without any ripples.
"Che, carry me on your back."
Jiang Yi uttered these words in a dull and lifeless voice, without any expression, but a sudden brightness appeared in his dim eyes.
Chi Ruiche nodded in response, took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and tried his best to hide the bitterness in his heart.
He squatted down in front of Jiang Yi and carefully carried her on his back, his movements gentle so as not to disturb her.
Jiang Yi slowly relaxed, pressing against his back. She felt safe, and her warm breathing became even.
The soft glow of the streetlights elongated their shadows, and the trees lining the street cast dappled shadows; everything was so tranquil and warm.
The music in the dance floor downstairs didn't stop after Jiang Yi left; instead, it grew even more enthusiastic.
Abula and Lü Haotian booked a private room, away from the hustle and bustle, where the two of them were alone in the dark room.
“Abu, you should know that Xiao Yi cannot be stimulated right now.”
Lü Haotian crossed his legs naturally, with his knees slightly raised, displaying a sense of composure.
Abu leaned back on the sofa, seemingly unconcerned, his gaze piercing through the darkness as he looked directly at Lü Haotian, a man he had known for many years.
"Are you tired of wearing a mask all these years?"
Abu's lips pressed slightly together, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Lu Haotian paused, his fingertips patting the sofa, and suddenly chuckled, though the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"You and Zheng Sicheng knew each other before, why didn't you say so?" Abu asked coldly.
