Zhong Yi's fingers twirling the corners of the quilt moved slightly, and a sourness surged into his throat.

"At the beginning, I had no choice. The Zhong family found me, and that accident happened to make A Yi's identity disappear completely. If I go back to find you again, Zhong Lingxiao will definitely threaten me with your safety."

"So you're doing it for my safety?"

Zhong Yi looked at her stubborn almond eyes and said, "Not entirely. I also want to see how high I can stand. At that time, I couldn't protect anyone."

I also want to wait until the dust settles before marrying someone else.

Counting now, she is only twenty-two years old.

Who would have thought that she would get married so early!

Just give him one more year, one year is enough!

Once the new year is over, he will try his best to get the position of heir and take control of the entire Zhong family!

But he was a year late.

It's just one year.

Things in the world play tricks on people.

Qiao Xi laughed at herself: "I don't know if it's your acting skills or that I'm just too stupid. When you appeared in Haicheng, I didn't believe that someone would come back from the dead."

Same name.

Similar faces.

But the eyes and temperament are completely unfamiliar.

He really deceived her.

Qiao Xi looked at him and said: "Now I know the reason why you faked your death, and I accept your affection! Let me save you at Thirteen Bay Pier, and I will pay it back slowly in the future. There is astragalus chicken soup in this thermos bucket. If you You can drink chicken soup if you don’t like it. Your body needs to be well cultivated now. I’ll leave first..."

There are many words on my lips, but I don’t know how to say them out.

But seeing that Zhong Yi had woken up, Qiao Xi felt relieved.

It's time for her to go.

"Xixi!"

Zhong Yi struggled to get up and reached out to hold her wrist.

The infusion tube on the back of the hand was bright red.

This time the blood is really coming back!

"Don't leave."

He almost used all his strength to keep her, "I regretted it countless times."

I regret leaving like that.

I regret not going to Haicheng earlier.

I regret that I planned every step of the way and calculated everything, but there were still some omissions.

Regret is the illegitimate son of the Zhong family, being dragged forward by fate.

"Qiao Xi, I have made a mistake since I was born. If I had a choice, I would rather be an ordinary person in Moon Village than a young master from a first-class family."

He tightened his grip on her wrist, "I have wanted to confess to you many times, but there are external and internal troubles. You have already lived so hard, and I don't want to add any more burden to you. I can't let my troubles become Your trouble."

His pale and delicate cheeks were bloodless, and his lips were white and dry.

Those passionate eyes looked extremely sincere and sad at this moment.

Qiao Xi bit her lip tightly, turned around and saw the bright red blood on the back of his hand. She opened her mouth and finally sighed.

She pulled out the needle, repositioned it and inserted it into the back of his hand.

Finally secure with tape.

"Qiao Xi."

Zhong Yi's smile was a little bitter, "I know it's useless to explain now. I'm lying to you. It's true. I've fantasized about the scene where we recognized each other countless times, but I didn't expect to be in such a life-and-death situation. .You saved me again..."

"You've helped me so many times."

Qiao Xi tried her best to stay calm, but her slightly trembling voice revealed the turmoil in her heart.

"Zhong Yi, I don't regret for a moment that I went to Thirteen Bay Pier to rescue you. To rescue you seems to be rescuing myself who was drowning in self-blame and unable to get ashore."

She was going to make up for her regrets.

Tears rolled down from the corners of Qiao Xi's eyes.

"I studied medicine hard just to keep the people around me."

"But..." Her voice choked, "From you, to my grandma... and then to Grandpa Cheng, it almost became a lifelong regret for me. I'm always afraid that I can't keep you guys even though I try my best."

"so……"

She sniffed, with a bright smile on her pretty face.

Like spring flowers and rain.

"I'm happy to know you're alive. This happiness outweighs the anger of being deceived."

"I just... don't know how to express the complicated emotions in my heart. I don't know if you are still the same as before. I am afraid that you have changed. I am afraid that you are just pretending to be a complete stranger."

Zhong Yi's voice was a little hoarse and a little weak.

"To you, I have never changed."

I love you as passionately as I did when I was a teenager.

Zhongyi always just wants to be someone's Zhongyi.

"Xixi, you can trust me as before. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. There is no need for any politeness between us, and there are no more secrets."

Qiao Xi wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said, "When you were in Haicheng, you went to worship grandma, right?"

"Ah."

"That day you stayed in the trunk and entered the city to avoid Zhong Lingxiao's pursuit?"

"Yes."

"Are you and Xiang Mingzhu pretending to be cowardly in order to sow the sisterhood between her and Lu Yingxue so that I can benefit from the needle test conference?"

"Yes."

Zhong Yi showed no deception and recognized them one by one.

Qiao Xi's eyes were hot, "Then did you also send someone to find Grandpa Cheng?"

"Yes, I have been looking for it for a long time but there is no progress."

Qiao Xi felt relieved, looking at his familiar yet unfamiliar handsome face, the last trace of alienation and scruples disappeared.

"You and Lu Yingxue..."

"Nothing happened." Zhong Yi looked at her and said softly, "It's just an act."

"What about your engagement? I hope you can find a girl you like, instead of sacrificing your own happiness for profit." Qiao Xi said seriously, "I am one of the people who hopes you can be happy."

The first half of his life was not easy either.

Although we are prosperous and wealthy now, who knows whether it will become a passing thing in the next second.

Obscurity flashed in Zhong Yi's eyes: "The new year is approaching, and my engagement with her will not last long. I will not focus on feelings now, that is not what I need."

The person he wants is already married.

No matter how good other people are, it has nothing to do with him.

He hated Huo Xingzhou so much in his heart, but because of the incident at Thirteenth Bay Pier, he had no choice but to be tied to him.

To be honest, he really wanted to poach someone.

"Are you in danger from this internal fight?" Qiao Xi said it with regret.

If there was no danger, how could he be lying here.

"It's okay." Zhong Yi lowered his eyes and said, "I will take care of myself."

He must win!

His past and everything about Qiao Xi may have been exposed.

So, you can only win!

Zhong Yi looked at her unnatural expression, glanced at the can of astragalus chicken soup next to him and said softly: "I want to drink the chicken soup you made, is that okay? I haven't eaten the medicinal meal you stewed for many years. I almost forgot. What does it feel like?"

He lowered his eyes, looking a little lonely and pitiful.

One of his hands was still dripping, and he asked with a bit of extravagance: "It's not convenient for me, can you feed me?"
