After Ji Yunze left, Xiao Tongyu began to eat wholeheartedly. She was ready to eat the entire table full of breakfast.

No matter what you think about Ji Yunze, eating is still the happiest thing for you.

Anyway, he gave her a one-year deadline. Once Xiao Tongyu had made it out of this situation safely after a year, she would immediately resign and open her own design studio.

At this time, Zhuang Shufei called.

"Tongtong, don't talk if you are kidnapped."

Xiao Tongyu smiled: "No, Ji Yunze has left."

The person on the other end of the phone let out a long sigh of relief: "Damn, this bastard is really crazy! Why can he look at your phone and force you to say that? Did you guys sleep together again last night?"

"There really wasn't any last night. I don't know what Ji Yunze was thinking." Xiao Tongyu stuffed a piece of beef bone into his mouth.

Zhuang Shufei hesitated: "Tongtong, you said... Ji Yunze doesn't like you, right?"

Xiao Tongyu shook his head: "Oh, how is that possible? What is there about me that he likes? How can he like me? I would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree."

Zhuang Shufei still felt a little skeptical, but she did not continue to discuss the topic.

"By the way, Tongtong, are you free tomorrow night? My brother wants to have dinner with us."

"Of course, as long as I don't work overtime."

"I'm going to shoot that scene tomorrow until around seven o'clock. Can we go together after I finish work?"

Xiao Tongyu chewed his eggs Benedict with gusto: "Okay, if you don't have to work overtime, I'll come find you."

"What are you eating, Tongtong? It smells so good?"

"Ji Yunze's breakfast, he didn't eat it, it can't be wasted."

"..."

After breakfast, Xiao Tongyu hesitated for a few minutes and decided to go see Lin Xiao.

Ji Yunze didn't know how to control the severity of his attack yesterday. If she hadn't stopped him, Lin Xiao would have been beaten to death on the spot.

He has repeatedly said that he has something to say, so let's talk it out with him all at once.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tongyu stood up.

……

Imperial Hospital.

Lin Xiao lay in bed for a whole night and a morning, and was finally able to sit up.

He was seriously injured. His head was bandaged like a swollen bun, and his right hand was bandaged with faint traces of blood.

His face was as pale as paper, his chest heaved, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and with every breath, a sharp pain came.

But the physical pain is far less than the heartache.

Lin Tianhao and Yuan Qing sat beside the hospital bed, looking at their son anxiously.

Lin Tianhao couldn't help but say: "Lin Xiao, you were just there to discuss business, how could you have provoked Ji Yunze? How could Ji Yunze be someone we can afford to offend?!"

Yuan Qing glanced at her husband in reproach: "Stop scolding our son when he's already like this!"

Lin Xiao remained silent.

He didn't say that Ji Yunze hit him because he saw him hugging Xiao Tongyu.

Because of his secretary, Ji Yunze actually took such a cruel action. Lin Xiao was not a fool, he could see that Ji Yunze had a special relationship with Xiao Tongyu.

Could it be that the kiss mark on Xiao Tongyu's neck was left by Ji Yunze?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao clenched his intact left hand into a fist, his nails digging deep into the flesh.

If Xiao Tongyu and Ji Yunze were together, Lin Xiao would never get her again.

On the day Xiao Tongyu graduated from high school, Qin Mengyan was at Lin Xiao's house. She took off all her clothes to seduce him. Lin Xiao had drunk some wine and couldn't control himself.

When they were making love, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Tongyu. That night, she sent a message to say goodbye, saying that she had moved away.

Lin Xiao didn't know why he felt guilty. He felt that he couldn't face her, so he didn't respond and instinctively tried to avoid her.

Maybe at that time, I had already developed different feelings for Xiao Tongyu?

He didn't know. He just felt a pain in his chest.

Suddenly, Yuan Qing's words pulled Lin Xiao back from his thoughts: "Lin Xiao, have you told Tongtong that you are injured? Let her come to see you."

Lin Xiao sneered in his heart. Do I need to tell her? She has seen it all. If she wants to come, she will come naturally.

"No need mom, she won't come."

Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open and Xiao Tongyu stood at the door.

The moment he saw her, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.

“Tongtong!” Yuan Qing rushed over and asked, “How did you know that Lin Xiao was in the hospital?”

“Uncle Lin, Aunt Yuan, I heard about it by chance.”

Xiao Tongyu didn't intend to admit that she was at the scene, and she was also sure that Lin Xiao would not tell them. The closest hospital to Si Jue was the Imperial Capital Hospital. After she and Ji Yunze left yesterday, Lin Xiao must have been sent here as soon as possible.

"Oh, then you guys chat. Lin Xiao's mother and I will be leaving first."

Lin Tianhao was somewhat delighted, thinking that Xiao Tongyu and Lin Xiao might have a chance together. He pulled Yuan Qing up and walked out of the ward, closing the door for them.

Xiao Tongyu walked to the bed, but she didn't sit down.

Seeing Lin Xiao being beaten like this, it would be a lie to say that she felt nothing in her heart.

After all, Lin Xiao didn't commit such a serious crime. His indifference back then was also due to the fact that there was suddenly a person in his family for no apparent reason, a fool whom he didn't like and who kept chasing after him all day.

"Lin Xiao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Tongyu, his narrow peach blossom eyes were full of red bloodshot: "Tongtong, are you with Ji Yunze?"

Xiao Tongyu bit her lip: "You are wrong, I didn't."

Lin Xiao certainly wouldn't believe her words: "Tongtong, even if you don't stay with me, you can't stay with Ji Yunze. Do you know what kind of person he is? Will he really like you?"

"He won't, and neither will you. Lin Xiao, stop pretending to be affectionate here. You're only moving yourself."

"You really don't believe that I like you?"

"Lin Xiao, you treated me like trash when I needed you the most. Whether you really like me now or not is not important, because I don't need your love."

Lin Xiao's eyes gradually became misty. He knew he was wrong, very wrong.

He was so wrong that he didn't realize his attachment to Xiao Tongyu, but instead pushed her further and further away.

Lin Xiao lowered his eyes: "I understand, Tongtong, I was wronged by you for everything that happened in the past. I will regard this beating as paying back my debt to you."

At that time, Xiao Tongyu, who was living in the Lin family and had no one to rely on, had fantasized countless times that the boy she had secretly loved from the age of eight to eighteen would suddenly walk up to her one day and say that he had always liked her.

However, this is more unattainable than a dream.

In the end, what she has to face every day is the person who says she is "rustic and ugly", "a strange orphan" and "it would be better if she died".

Thinking about it now, even Xiao Tongyu herself found it funny. Who gave her the courage to chase after such a cold and ruthless man for a full ten years?

Now, after really hearing the word "love" from his mouth, Xiao Tongyu felt no ripples in her heart.

Because her heart had died long ago.

"I'm leaving, Lin Xiao, you should have a good rest."

After Xiao Tongyu finished speaking, he walked out of the ward without looking back.
