Su Xiaozhu and Qin Shiyao had long ago not wanted to stay in the office. Now after hearing Ning Yuxi’s words, they hurriedly left the office as if they had heard an imperial edict.
Qin Shiyao is much more careful than Su Xiaozhu. With her many years of experience and a woman's intuition, she feels that there must be something going on between Ye Chen and Ning Yuxi.
"Xiao Zhu, have you noticed that Teacher Ning is a little different today?"
Qin Shiyao asked Su Xiaozhu in a low voice.
Su Xiaozhu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Teacher Ning is indeed a little different today."
The two people looked at each other and secretly pressed themselves against the office door, hoping to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
But there was no movement at all inside. Su Xiaozhu and Qin Shiyao were worried at the door.
The atmosphere in the office became extremely depressing.
How many years have passed, this is the first time the two of them have been alone together like this.
The atmosphere became a little solid.
Although Ning Yuxi tried her best to keep her face calm, the ever-changing posture and the sweat on her palms indicated that she was not at peace inside at this time.
Ye Chen slowly raised his head and looked at Ning Yuxi in front of him. The shadow in his heart slowly grew larger, and finally it slowly overlapped with the woman in front of him.
"Are you okay?"
Finally, Ning Yuxi couldn't bear it any longer and broke the silence of the room.
"As you can see, I'm living a good life."
Although he tried his best to hide it, Ye Chen's voice still had a tremor.
Perhaps this feeling made him a little irritable, so he couldn't help but take out a cigarette from his pocket and light one.
Ning Yuxi frowned slightly. Although he hated others smoking in front of him, he still acquiesced to Ye Chen's actions.
"Miss Su is indeed a good woman, and you two are a perfect match."
Ning Yuxi looked downcast, lowered his head, and said with a forced smile on his face.
"What about you, how are you doing?"
Ye Chen's voice was a little hoarse and low.
"I'm doing well too."
After being silent for a long time, Ning Yuxi's eyes were slightly red, a forced smile appeared on his face, and he said softly.
Seeing the confusion and weakness in Ning Yuxi's eyes, Ye Chen felt angry.
This woman is always like this, hiding things in her heart and carrying them alone.
Ye Chen took a big sip from the cigarette in his hand, with an irritated expression on his face. He couldn't help it anymore and asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"Why did you reject me in the first place?"
The atmosphere became solid once again.
Ning Yuxi lowered her head and remained silent.
"Speak, why don't you speak."
The expression on Ye Chen's face became more and more violent, and he growled: Why do you do this every time?"
In this world, there are only a few people who can make Ye Chen's mood fluctuate greatly, and Ning Yuxi is undoubtedly one of them.
"Do you know how much I have suffered over the years and how many times I have raced against death? All of this is thanks to you."
Ye Chen looked a little ferocious, panting heavily, and growled: "Even now, why, you still don't want to tell me, why."
The way Ning Yuxi looked at him was unmistakable to Ye Chen. It was still the same as the way he looked at him before, without any change. It was even stronger than before.
Ye Chen thought so hard that he couldn't even imagine why he would reject him back then.
Ning Yuxi looked at the irritable Ye Chen and felt a pain in her heart. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
She really wanted to tell Ye Chen the truth and say that it was not what she meant.
But the words come to my lips but I can't say them out.
That night, when she chose to accept that person's request and did so, the outcome was already decided.
If she tells it now, Ye Chen will definitely settle the score with him.
This is not what she wants to see.
Besides, it's too late to say anything now. It's enough for her to suffer alone. There's no need to bring more troubles to Ye Chen, right?
"Cry, you know how to cry. You don't want to say anything, you don't want to do anything, and you hide everything in your heart. Can you bear it?"
Ye Chen grabbed Ning Yuxi's shoulders with both hands and shook her body violently.
"Yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Two lines of clear tears ran down her cheeks, and Ning Yuxi cried like pear blossoms with rain, but she didn't make a sound.
This silent crying made Ye Chen become violent.
"I'm sorry, you just know how to say sorry, and you won't say anything else?"
Ye Chen had a gloomy face, the strength on his hands gradually increased, and he roared in a low voice: "I don't want to hear you say sorry again."
There was a hint of pain on Ning Yuxi's face, and her eyebrows were knitted together. Seeing that Ye Chen was a little out of control, she gritted her teeth and endured it silently.
Ye Chen looked at the suppressed pain on Ning Yuxi's face. His whole body was trembling slightly due to the increasing strength in Ye Chen's hands, and he felt a heartache in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen released his hands on Ning Yuxi's shoulders and sat back on the chair.
Looking at Ning Yuxi, whose eyes were full of tears, Ye Chen felt extremely aggrieved, and there was a rage in his heart that he couldn't let out.
He can only feel this feeling when he is with her.
Every time he saw her tears, Ye Chen always wanted to surrender. The weakness and helplessness shown by Ning Yuxi at this time made him unable to bear to blame her anymore.
"Wipe your tears."
Ye Chen took out a few tissues and handed them to Ning Yuxi.
There is no point in continuing like this. Ye Chen knows her character best.
Although she has the fragility of Jiangnan women, she also has a tenacity that is rare for ordinary people.
Since she doesn't want to talk, even Ye Chen can't get her to speak, and there's no point in continuing like this.
Ning Yuxi took the tissue from Ye Chen's hand and wiped the tears on his face.
After using several pieces of paper, Ning Yuxi wiped away the tears on his face, but the red circles under his eyes still made Ye Chen feel a little distressed.
Ye Chen stretched out his hand towards Ning Yuxi's face.
A flash of panic flashed across Ning Yuxi's face, and her big eyes couldn't help but blink.
Ye Chen's hand touched Ning Yuxi's cheek, and then covered her red eyes.
Ning Yuxi didn't know what Ye Chen was doing, so she tilted her head slightly, trying to avoid Ye Chen's big hand.
"Don't move."
Ye Chen's stern voice came out, and Ning Yuxi closed her eyes as if a restraining charm had been cast on her, and stopped in place aggrievedly.
Ye Chen's hands lightly brushed Ning Yuxi's face, as if a cool stream of water was passing by, and the red eye circles disappeared instantly.
"Okay."
Ye Chen's faint words came, and Ning Yuxi opened her eyes, looked at herself in the mirror, and was surprised to find that the redness and swelling in her eyes had subsided.
Ye Chen was sitting on the chair, lowering his head and smoking a cigarette. Ning Yuxi was also sitting on the chair, lowering his head, and occasionally glanced at Ye Chen secretly.
Just like that, the two people became silent again, each with his head lowered and silent.
