Xia Haitong is indeed a compassionate person, but she is not a fool either. If it weren't for Ye Chengxuan taking care of her for more than a month, if she hadn't seen Ye Chengxuan put down his body today and work hard to accompany her sister, she would not
She had such a strong desire to help him, at least, that's what she convinced herself.
Her words reminded Ye Chengxuan of what happened that night.
That night, she was so drunk that she said the same thing.
"I want to know you...I want to help you..."
Ye Chengxuan lifted her chin, with a cynical look on his face: "Do you want to understand me and help me, or do you just want to help Ye Chengzhi?"
She said without hesitation: "I want to help both."
He squinted: "I can only choose one."
"Why?"
"Because I want to know the answer."
Xia Haitong looked at those narrow phoenix eyes, and she knew that Ye Chengxuan was not joking with her, he was serious.
In the past, she would have said she wanted to help Ye Chengzhi without hesitation, but at this moment, she hesitated.
Scenes of scenes flashed through her mind, and his good and bad qualities were all replayed in her mind. In the past, she could always attribute his kindness to her to his use, but now,
She couldn't help it anymore, her heart slowly softened, and she began to appreciate Ye Chengxuan's kindness to her, and even began to reflect on herself and think about what Lei Ming and Ye Chengzhi said to her.
Just like now, it is undeniable that she does want to help Ye Chengzhi, but at this moment, she wants to understand Ye Chengxuan more and then help him.
"I want to help you."
Ye Chengxuan was slightly startled, and then said: "Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"I'm not lying to you, it's true."
Ye Chengxuan felt something strange, but soon he smiled again, moved his face closer to her, and said evilly: "My dear, do you like me?"
Xia Haitong said seriously: "No, I just want to help you."
"If you don't like me, then why are you meddling in my own business?"
"I don't know, I just want to take care of it, and I also want to help Chengzhi. I think there must be the best solution to this matter!"
Ye Chengxuan smiled coldly and said: "Then let me tell you now, I have no difficulties and no helplessness. I just do it for power and money. I am a ruthless person who likes to do whatever it takes."
Xia Haitong frowned and said righteously: "You are not!"
"Why do you say I'm not?"
"Because your brother says you're not, and my feeling says you're not!"
Ye Chengxuan looked at her displeased and whispered: "Xia Haitong, don't forget that I am very good at acting. Also, don't forget the bet between us."
Xia Haitong smiled and said: "I remember all this, but Ye Chengxuan, no murderer in the world would stand up and say that he is a murderer."
Suddenly, Ye Chengxuan pressed her down on the sofa, with arrogant eyes in his eyes: "Xia Haitong, don't talk to me in such a see-through tone, don't think that I can get carried away by being nice to you, you will regret it.
"
Xia Haitong raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Ye Chengxuan, your brother said something to me, and now I can confirm the authenticity to you."
He was confused: "Say."
"He told me that when a man is ignited by desire, asking him to restrain himself from possessing the woman next to him is equivalent to self-abuse for this man. Ye Chengxuan, this sentence means something to you.
Does it apply?"
Ye Chengxuan's eyes suddenly burst into flames, Xiao Ming, what nonsense did you say to her!
Seeing the fire in his eyes, Xia Haitong suddenly felt that he was very interesting, and it was quite comforting to think that she could tease him once.
But just when she was feeling triumphant, Ye Chengxuan blew gently into her ear, causing her body to tremble. Just when she felt that the atmosphere was not right and wanted to escape, she was firmly restrained by his hands.
"My dear, can I understand what you said just now as teasing me?"
"No! I absolutely didn't mean it!"
Although she looked begging for mercy, Ye Chengxuan still put his hand on her lapel: "Really? But it doesn't matter. Since you think I have been self-abuse in the past, I will not self-abuse today and indulge myself for once."
how?"
"Chengxuan, you sir have a lot of money. Don't argue with me, a little girl. I didn't say anything just now, so just pretend you didn't hear me!"
Xia Haitong secretly cursed himself for making it up a thousand times. Why the hell did he talk so much nonsense? Didn't he suffer this time?
Don't try to be smart, no!
He put away his hand and smiled evilly: "But I really heard it, what do you think I should do?"
Xia Haitong held back his screams and looked at Ye Chengxuan with a complicated look on his face: "My sister is asleep inside, can you please do it?!"
"My dear, you mean it's fine if you're not here. How about we go to the hotel now?"
With that said, he left her body and looked down at her on the sofa. She shook her head violently, wishing she could stick to this sofa.
Ye Chengxuan looked at her, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he said calmly: "Remember, don't meddle in other people's business." At the end, he added, "Don't have mercy on me."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but was pulled by her.
She stood up with determination in her brows: "Ye Chengxuan, I won't give up just yet."
He shook off her hand: "Remember our bet, don't fall in love with me too easily, otherwise I will find it boring."
After saying that, he left the living room. Xia Haitong stared at his back blankly. She was also stunned, where did her persistence come from?
She thought that there must be an element of curiosity in it, and she sighed, if she wanted to blame it, she was too curious.
That night, she didn't fall asleep. She just lay next to Xia Xueqing and kept thinking about Ye Chengxuan.
That night, he didn't fall asleep either. He stood by the window and looked aimlessly at the stars outside the window. He laughed secretly at Xia Haitong for being too easily moved by others, laughing at her like a fool who thought she was the Virgin.
All can be redeemed.
However, even he himself didn't know that some things had quietly changed in his heart. When he knew it, it was too late and he regretted it.
Since both of them didn't sleep well, they both got up a little late. By the time they got up, it was already noon.
Xia Haitong thought that Ye Chengxuan would leave today, but who knew that he still stayed with her all day long, until the evening, when the two of them came out of the apartment. Before leaving, Xia Xueqing also told her that it would be over in two weeks.
Her birthday should be celebrated for her. This sentence made Xia Haitong very heart-warming.
But in the following days, Xia Haitong didn't feel comfortable. People are so strange. The more things others don't want to know, the more they want to know. Besides, she really wanted to help Ye Chengxuan, she
He is a person with clear grudges. He has helped her so much, so she naturally wants to help him back, otherwise her conscience will not feel good.
That's what she thought, and that was the reason why she was so persistent.
However, even if she thinks so, she will still feel restless and uneasy inside. Coupled with Ye Chengzhi's incident and the various envy, jealousy and hateful complaints about her in the company these days, it makes her even more troubled. No,
She lay on the bed early and forced herself to fall asleep, but she still couldn't fall asleep after an hour. In desperation, she decided to call Ding Xiaoqian to express her worries.
"Xiao Qian, are you asleep?"
She thought, it was only half past eleven, so she must not have slept yet, right?
Ding Xiaoqian said cheerfully: "Well, I'm awake. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just feel uncomfortable and feel weird." After a slight pause, she said quietly, "Xiao Qian, let me ask you a question, if there is a very excellent man who treats you well, and he wants to be you.
My boyfriend, will you agree?"
Ding Xiaoqian pondered for a moment: "What does it mean to be excellent?"
Xia Haitong mentioned all the good qualities of Ye Chengzhi, but of course, she did not mention Ye Chengzhi explicitly.
"This is indeed excellent... But Haitong, why do I think this man looks so much like Ye Chengzhi?"
Xia Haitong hurriedly replied: "It's not him, and I didn't say that I had such an experience. I was just asking."
"Oh...that's it..." Ding Xiaoqian thought for a long time before saying, "No."
Xia Haitong was surprised: "Why?"
"Because it doesn't suit my taste, it's not my cup of tea."
Xia Haitong asked confusedly: "Xiao Qian, how do I know what my taste is? If a man treats me well, should I be with him? Isn't finding a man who loves me the first condition for choosing a spouse?
?”
Ding Xiaoqian said quietly: "I don't know about this, and I've never been in love. If you ask me, I really don't know what to say." After a slight pause, she added, "But I've read too many novels and TV series.
For love, you must first like the other person, otherwise everything will be fake."
"I like..." Xia Haitong was confused and asked again, "Then what does it feel like to like someone? Does having a good impression count as liking him?"
"Definitely not. There are so many people who have a crush on her. The little deer bumps around and her heart beats faster. That's what I like."
Xia Haitong was silent and asked herself, her feelings for Ye Chengzhi don't seem that strong, right? He has always given her a feeling of peace of mind and gentleness. Although she blushes, she is not like a deer!
Ding Xiaoqian felt something was wrong with Xia Haitong, so she asked again: "Haitong, do you like someone, or is someone confessing to you?"
At this moment, the figure of the masked man came into her mind again. She shook her head repeatedly and said: "No, it's just that there have been too many things recently and it has made me a little tired, so I just wanted to divert my attention."
"What's wrong with you? Tell me everything quickly!"
Xia Haitong told her everything that happened recently. Of course, she omitted everything about Ye Chengxuan. It wasn't that she didn't want to confess, but that she understood what it means to know more, the more danger there is.
Ding Xiaoqian listened, feeling sympathy and distress for her, but the most important thing was that she actually mistakenly thought that Ye Chengxuan bullied Xia Haitong. She wanted to cut Ye Chengxuan into pieces, but she was very self-aware.
But she couldn't leave Xia Haitong alone, so she decided to ask Lei Ming for help.
