Can you please stop hating

The scene was too chaotic, Yu Xi didn't know where to start explaining. Looking at the two people opposing each other in front of her, she was overwhelmed.

Jin Zhuoxiao's eyes were as deep as the abyss. He looked past Liu Meng and looked at Yu Xi. His low voice was calm but powerful: "Yu Xi, who am I to you?"

Liu Meng was present, so Yu Xi didn't know whether to answer this question or not. She bit her lower lip anxiously and picked her fingers unconsciously.

For a moment, the two were in a stalemate.

Liu Meng looked at this and then that, totally not understanding the current situation, but she could see that Yu Xi and Jin Zhuoxiao had a close relationship.

Seeing that Yu Xi didn't say anything, Jin Zhuoxiao turned to Liu Meng and asked, "Who is my girlfriend you are talking about?"

"what?"

Liu Meng was suddenly called out, and she was a little nervous for some reason. After she came to her senses, she spoke uncertainly, "Isn't that the girl with the big curly hair who came to the store with you to drink coffee before?"

Jin Zhuoxiao thought for a long time before realizing that the person she was talking about was Yang Zichan. He frowned and denied, "That's not my girlfriend."

Liu Meng blinked blankly: "Huh?"

Before she could fully digest it, Jin Zhuoxiao looked at Yu Xi again and said to Liu Meng, "The person behind you is my girlfriend."

Liu Meng's eyes widened instantly. He turned around and looked at Yu Xi in disbelief.

Yu Xi quickly explained: "It's my ex-girlfriend, we've broken up."

"But why didn't you tell me you were dating? You also didn't tell me the two people in the photo weren't a couple."

Liu Meng frowned, feeling very magical: "I thought you didn't know each other."

Yu Xi pursed her lips, not knowing how to explain.

At first, she thought that Jin Zhuoxiao and Yang Zichan had a private relationship. Exposing her identity as a girlfriend would not only affect Jin Zhuoxiao, but would also indirectly expose her situation of being cheated on, so she didn't tell Liu Meng.

Later, she broke up with Jin Zhuoxiao, but she had missed the best time to confess to Liu Meng. She couldn't find a reason to explain to Liu Meng why she had concealed her relationship with Jin Zhuoxiao, so she kept dragging it on until now.

Yu Xi never thought that things would turn out like this, and she was so devastated that she wished she could die.

Jin Zhuoxiao understood the logic behind it, and looked at Yu Xi with a gloomy gaze, his voice as cold as ice: "Do you also think that Yang Zichan and I are having an affair?"

Yu Xi felt a chill down her spine. She had indeed believed this at the beginning, so she lowered her head and did not refute. However, her lips turned white from biting them out of guilt.

"Ho."

Glancing at Yu Xi's expression, Jin Zhuoxiao had the answer in his mind. He laughed out of anger, but the smile was only superficial and flashed by.

Jin Zhuoxiao's face quickly turned cold, and he frowned and pressed his cheeks. He suppressed his anger that was about to collapse before saying, "I met Yang Zichan here because someone in her family is sick and she wants to borrow money from me."

Hearing this, Yu Xi's face turned pale and her heart sank. She didn't know how to face Jin Zhuoxiao.

"Yu Xi, when Yang Zichan asked me to borrow money, we were still talking."

Jin Zhuoxiao's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his voice became increasingly difficult: "You don't trust me that much, and you think I'll cheat on you?"

Guilt was like a whip dipped in chili peppers, whipping Yu Xi again and again, making it hard for her to breathe. She apologized in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry."

Jin Zhuoxiao was unwilling to give up, staring at Yu Xi and asking persistently: "Why don't you come and ask me?"

A huge amount of self-blame came like a flood, almost drowning Yu Xi. She struggled to find her voice and confessed softly: "I thought you were just playing with me."

Yu Xi's words were like a sharp sword, almost piercing Jin Zhuoxiao's heart, and the pain made his eyes gradually turn light red.

Yu Xi really treated their previous relationship as a "deal", so even though she knew he was cheating, she would not be jealous, and was even very "tolerant".

After all, Yu Xi didn't trust him or love him, so she didn't care.

Jin Zhuoxiao was not unaware of these facts, but after seeing them again, he still felt heartbroken.

"..."

No one spoke and the atmosphere fell into dead silence.

Liu Meng stood between the two of them, piecing together fragmentary information from their conversation.

She suddenly realized that she had indirectly caused a big disaster, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She tried to reconcile them, "Don't quarrel, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have secretly taken photos of the guests, nor should I have made random guesses about the guests' relationships. I'm sorry, sorry."

Yu Xi knew that Liu Meng had only served as a trigger in this matter, and the real problem was with her. She said in a hoarse voice, "It has nothing to do with you. Go and get busy first."

This is a private matter between the two of them. Liu Meng really can't help here and seems redundant.

She glanced at the two of them, decided to give them some space, and turned away.

As soon as Liu Meng left, the air became more stagnant, and Yu Xi felt that every minute and every second was torture.

She knew that she was the one who let Jin Zhuoxiao down. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said sincerely, "Jin Zhuoxiao, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have misunderstood you based on my habitual thinking."

"During the time I was dating you, I didn't have any affair with anyone," Jin Zhuoxiao looked at Yu Xi and asked, "Do you still think I just wanted to have fun with you?"

The redness in his eyes deeply hurt Yu Xi's heart. This was probably the second thing that made Yu Xi feel that she was unforgivable after Yu Li's death.

Yu Xi felt hot in front of her eyes. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears, so she did not speak but just shook her head.

Not to mention the future, at least now Yu Xi felt that Jin Zhuoxiao really liked her.

"Are you willing to give me a chance to start over now?"

Jin Zhuoxiao's voice was gentle and his eyes were calm. He didn't seem to be angry with Yu Xi at all about what happened just now.

This kind of shock was much greater than being scolded. Yu Xi's heart was trembling and her eyes were getting more sore. Jin Zhuoxiao was one of the few people who was very kind and tolerant to her.

But because of this, Yu Xi couldn't treat him carelessly.

She took a deep breath and said, "Jin Zhuoxiao, I told you before that I want to find a boyfriend who is down-to-earth and can give me a sense of security, because I am very sensitive and often tend to overthink."

Yu Xi paused for a moment and continued, "Just like what happened with Yang Zichan, if we were together, I can't guarantee that I wouldn't make the same mistake again, which would not only consume myself but also drag you down. It would be very tiring for anyone who is with me."

Jin Zhuoxiao listened quietly before saying, "In an absolutely safe environment, even the most timid person will feel safe. Similarly, as long as I stop flirting with other women, similar situations will not happen again, and you will not feel insecure."

Yu Xi pursed her lips and continued, "Liking is an impulse, which will not last long due to various factors. We know each other too little and are not suitable in many aspects. I think you need more time to think carefully."

In fact, Yu Xi’s worry is not only about the personality conflict between her and Jin Zhuoxiao, but also about her own family reasons, which is her biggest trouble at the moment.

Yu Xi's family is a chronic illness to her. She doesn't want to be seen by Jin Zhuoxiao, nor does she want to implicate Jin Zhuoxiao.

"Everything depends on human effort," Jin Zhuoxiao said. "There aren't that many people who are born to be suitable for each other. Most people need to adjust to each other. I think we can do that too. When we were in love, we were pretty happy, weren't we?"

Yu Xi: “…”

This is why Yu Xi feels that they are different. Jin Zhuoxiao is always arrogant and willful. In his eyes, there is probably no such thing as "no". He only has to try first and is determined to win.

Jin Zhuoxiao is not a cowardly person, but Yu Xi is, so Yu Xi is afraid that she will not be able to resonate with him.

"Many things cannot be just said, they must be proved by actions. Yu Xi, we still have a lot of time to slowly get along with each other, and the facts will prove everything."

Jin Zhuoxiao looked at Yu Xi and said firmly, "I said I would change, and I will definitely change. One day, I will give you enough sense of security."

"..."

Yu Xi's eyes moved slightly, and her heartbeat became more and more violent, so heavy that it seemed like it would break through her chest and jump out.

If she hadn't been concerned about her family, she would probably have taken another gamble for the current Jin Zhuoxiao.

Unfortunately, she will probably never be able to escape Yang Huijuan's control in this life, and she doesn't know how far she and Jin Zhuoxiao will go in the future.
