Chapter 171: Turning Around
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For a moment, he didn’t know how to react when facing s.h.i.+ Yi, who was admiring the necklace in the mirror. He had let the situation develop to this point and left the two of them with no way out. How could he explain to s.h.i.+ Yi and introduce himself?
Should he tell her directly, “s.h.i.+ Yi, do you like me? Do you like Xu Zhi from the Xu family?”
He had always wanted to leave the family to find a way for himself, but he was always trapped by the family. This family that gave him everything was destined not to let him leave so easily. From the moment he was forced to join the Down Ridge Clothes Workshop, there was no turning back between him and s.h.i.+ Yi.
After a long time, Xu Zhi calmed himself down. The corners of his lips twitched a few times. Then, he finally put down his phone and walked in with a forced smile.
s.h.i.+ Yi smiled at him and didn’t notice the strange expression on his face. “What did you say you like?”
s.h.i.+ Yi had guessed what he wanted to say just now, but he was interrupted by the phone call, so she chose to give him another chance to say it.
Xu Zhi felt dejected and could barely maintain his smile, but he still tried his best to make the smile on his lips look more natural. “Do you like this necklace?”
s.h.i.+ Yi was stunned and looked at Xu Zhi’s face in the mirror. She no longer looked as calm as before and even appeared a little disappointed. It turned out that she had been delusional.
She forced a smile, but she was no longer in a good mood. Even the necklace didn’t look as pretty as before. “Yes, it’s okay.”
Xu Zhi said, “This one then.” Then, he took out his card and asked the shop a.s.sistant to swipe it.
When he looked at s.h.i.+ Yi again, she had already taken off the necklace and the shop a.s.sistant helped her put the necklace into a box.
The disappointment in s.h.i.+ Yi’s eyes made Xu Zhi’s heart ache, but there was nothing he could do.
The shop a.s.sistant returned after swiping the card and handed the card and receipt to Xu Zhi. “h.e.l.lo, it costs a total of 100,000 yuan. These are the receipt and necklace. Please take them.”
Xu Zhi took it and walked out of the shop with s.h.i.+ Yi.
Xu Zhi was about to say something when s.h.i.+ Yi said listlessly, “Sorry, I’m a little tired, so why don’t we call it a day?”
Xu Zhi didn’t know how to make her feel better, so he could only nod reluctantly.
The two of them walked side by side but didn’t say a single word and the atmosphere became awkward as well.
The chauffeur was already waiting for s.h.i.+ Yi at the door. Xu Zhi opened the back door for her. Before s.h.i.+ Yi got into the car, Xu Zhi suddenly stopped her. “Wait, s.h.i.+ Yi.”
s.h.i.+ Yi looked up at him while waiting for him to continue.
Xu Zhi wanted to say something but hesitated. After thinking for a long time, he handed the bag with the necklace to her and said, “This necklace suits you very well. 1 hope you like it.”
Thinking about how delusional she was, s.h.i.+ Yi felt like crying. Xu Zhi’s words didn’t comfort her at all. She could only try her best to smile, but she couldn’t bring herself to smile at all, so she could only give up.
s.h.i.+ Yi took the bag and said politely, “Thank you.” Then, she got into the car and left without even rolling down the window.
The weather suddenly became gloomy. Large dark clouds gathered, and soon, raindrops fell. At first, they fell drop by drop, hitting the roof of the car and the window gla.s.s. Then, the drizzle turned into a torrential rain. Even their vision became blurry.
The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and the chauffeur didn’t speak. The quietness made the sound of the rain seem even clearer. As s.h.i.+ Yi stared at the rain outside the car, her mood was as gloomy as the weather and the tears that she had been holding back for a long time couldn’t help but flow out.
Tears fell onto the dark blue paper bag one by one. At this moment, cracks broke along the patterns of the paper bag, as if something was shattering and determined to turn the necklace hidden in it into a part of these tears.
Ever since Xu Zhi sent s.h.i.+ Yi away, he had been standing on the spot without moving. Even when the heavy rain drenched him, he continued to stare in the direction s.h.i.+ Yi left in for a long time..
