Can you please stop hating

Yu Xi's words were already very straightforward, she was almost about to tell Jin Zhuoxiao directly that Yang Huijuan wanted her to be a brother-supporting demon.

She didn't say it directly because she wanted to retain some dignity, but she knew that Jin Zhuoxiao would definitely understand.

So Yu Xi didn't dare to look up and meet Jin Zhuoxiao's eyes. She didn't dare to imagine how Jin Zhuoxiao would look at her with contempt.

But even with her head lowered, Yu Xi knew that Jin Zhuoxiao was looking at her. His gaze seemed to have substance at this moment, burning her shattered self-esteem like a raging flame.

Yu Xi's face was pale, but her eyes were extremely red. She looked like a rubber band that had been stretched too tight and then released, completely devoid of energy.

"..."

Neither of them spoke. In the quiet restaurant, the atmosphere at the table was exceptionally silent. Every minute and every second was torture for Yu Xi.

After a moment, Jin Zhuoxiao said calmly: "What kind of answer do you want me to give by telling me this?"

Yu Xi was slightly startled and slowly raised her eyes to look at him.

Jin Zhuoxiao's eyes were as deep as ever, like a deep pool, with no obvious emotions in them: "Will you let me help your brother?"

Yu Xi hurriedly denied: "No!"

Jin Zhuoxiao: "..."

Yu Xi turned away her eyes, curled her fingers and said, "I don't want to use you, I just want to explain my family's situation to you and end our relationship."

Jin Zhuoxiao was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Is this why you don't want to get back together with me?"

Yu Xi's long eyelashes fluttered, and she pursed her thin lips without answering.

Jin Zhuoxiao: "I don't want to end our relationship because of this incident."

Yu Xi's heart trembled and she looked at Jin Zhuoxiao in surprise.

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Your family doesn't care about you at all, have you ever thought about getting rid of them?"

"When I was little, I resented them for not caring about me, so I thought about going to a place far away from home to study at a university when I grew up, and then I would be separated from my parents and live the life I wanted."

Yu Xi's eyes burned, and she took a deep breath to suppress her tears before she said, "But after my brother passed away, I always felt that I owed my parents a lot, and I had to work hard to repay them, so that I could feel better."

Jin Zhuoxiao listened quietly, then said, "I'll pay it back for you."

"What?" Yu Xi didn't understand what he meant.

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Doesn't your mother want money? As long as you give her enough, I think she will be happy to let you go."

Yu Xi was stunned for a long time before digesting Jin Zhuoxiao's words. Tears gradually filled her eyes, and she said in a trembling nasal voice: "Are you crazy? You want to be the scapegoat?"

Jin Zhuoxiao looked at her with a smile on his face, and said nonchalantly, "I'm waiting to marry you as my wife, just consider it as an advance investment."

Before she finished her words, Yu Xi's tears began to fall as if a valve had been opened. Her chest was heaving due to her rapid breathing and she couldn't even speak.

Seeing this, Jin Zhuoxiao walked over to Yu Xi and sat down, taking out a tissue to wipe her tears: "Actually, I don't mind helping your brother. After all, helping him is just a matter of me saying a few words, but your family's attitude towards you makes me very unhappy, so I don't want you to continue to have contact with them."

Yu Xi couldn't stop crying, her body twitching, unable to speak, and let Jin Zhuoxiao wipe her face.

"Your mother didn't take good care of you, so I will."

Jin Zhuoxiao looked at Yu Xi and said seriously: "Yu Xi, if I want to take you away, would you dare to go with me?"

Yu Xi's eyes were blurred. She felt as if she was suddenly pulled out of a quagmire without sunlight, and then told that she could leave that prison-like place and gain the freedom of the wilderness.

The intense emotions in her heart were like a raging flood that surged back and forth in her body. Yu Xi was unable to calm down for a moment and couldn't even control her crying.

Jin Zhuoxiao had never seen her cry like this before. She looked like a lost child, pitiful and helpless. He said distressedly, "Although you look beautiful when you cry, you have to know when to stop."

Yu Xi punched him. This guy never behaved properly.

Jin Zhuoxiao laughed: "Stop crying, if others don't know, they might think I'm bullying you."

Yu Xi sobbed and said, "I, I wuuuu, I can't stop, wuuuuu."

"Ouch, ouch," Jin Zhuoxiao held her in his arms and coaxed her gently, "Slow down."

Yu Xi hugged Jin Zhuoxiao's waist, held back her voice, and burst into tears.

*

After a long time, Yu Xi's emotions slowly calmed down, but she felt embarrassed and didn't want to look up.

Jin Zhuoxiao didn't hear any movement for a long time. He pinched her earlobe and said jokingly, "Are you asleep?"

Yu Xi felt itchy and simply pushed him away.

Jin Zhuoxiao laughed: "You change your expression very quickly."

Yu Xi already felt embarrassed, and Jin Zhuoxiao deliberately teased him, so she raised her eyes and glared at him.

Jin Zhuoxiao lifted her chin with his finger, took a closer look, and said, "Your eyes are swollen."

Yu Xi pushed Jin Zhuoxiao's hand away and said with a heavy nasal voice: "Don't look at me."

Jin Zhuoxiao raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Yu Xi: “Ugly.”

Jin Zhuoxiao chuckled: "I didn't think so."

Yu Xi's face was dry and uncomfortable, and she said in a muffled voice: "I want to find a place to wash my face."

Jin Zhuoxiao picked up the phone and said, "Come back to the hotel with me to take a shower."

Yu Xi looked up: "Hmm?"

Jin Zhuoxiao seemed to know what she was thinking, and explained with a half-smile: "My clothes are wet because of your crying, go back and change."

Yu Xi was immediately embarrassed and lowered his head and stopped talking.

The two paid the bill, left the restaurant, and drove directly back to the hotel.

Yu Xi knew that she must look very embarrassed now, and she even avoided people when walking. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she walked into the hotel room.

I don't know if the room was cleaned by the cleaning staff, but it looked very tidy.

Jin Zhuoxiao took off his coat and said, "Just go inside and wash it."

Yu Xi: “Yeah.”

Yu Xi walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, seeing her red face from crying. She felt really embarrassed.

She turned on the faucet, washed her face with warm water, and came out only after she felt comfortable.

Yu Xi didn't expect that Jin Zhuoxiao hadn't put on his clothes yet. Looking at his naked upper body, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Jin Zhuoxiao curled his lips and said frivolously, "Please sit anywhere you like."

Yu Xi nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down with her back to Jin Zhuoxiao, then lowered her head and pretended to look at her phone naturally.

In contrast, Jin Zhuoxiao was very calm. He took out a black slim-fitting top from his suitcase without haste and put it on.

After getting dressed, he closed his suitcase, stood up and said, "You haven't answered the question I asked you before."

Yu Xi didn't know whether Jin Zhuoxiao was dressed properly or not, so she lowered her head and asked, "What's the problem?"

Jin Zhuoxiao walked up to Yu Xi, lifted her chin with his hand, and waited for Yu Xi to look at him before asking word by word, "Will you come with me?"
