Chapter 29: Wind and Rain Like Night

  Cheng Zhiyi left, taking sorrow with her, leaving with tears in her eyes. It wasn't until her figure disappeared behind the door that Xu Shaoyan suddenly realized - there was a hint of coldness and hatred in her eyes, as if... despair.

  Is she thinking about the past again? It turned out that her tears were due to a great sorrow that pierced her heart, not because of the great joy that moved him. The sadness in her eyes struck his heart, making it ache, and he also began to resent Lin Zhihao, whom he had never met before. He just wanted to hold her in his arms, protect her, for all eternity.

  Nothing will happen to her, will it?

  She tossed the rose in her arms to the ground, and Xu Shao Yan hastily chased after her. Once they exited the movie theater, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of rain and fog in the sky, with the wind whistling through. Cheng Zhi Yi walked listlessly in the rain, not even bothering to open an umbrella, allowing the rainwater to soak her hair and forehead, with water droplets streaming down her face, making it impossible to tell whether they were rain or tears.

  Xu Shaoyan strode forward with his long legs, grabbed her arm and asked anxiously as he looked at her grief-stricken face: "Where are you going? I'll take you there!"

  "Where to go, where to go..." The rain poured down harder and the wind blew stronger, in the midst of the torrential rain, Cheng Zhi muttered to herself, "To a place where happiness doesn't exist."

  "What?" Xu Shaoyan tilted his head and listened carefully, then asked her, "Where are you going?"

  Jing Yiyi raised her head to look at Xu Shaoyan, a pair of bright big eyes were slightly narrowed by the rainwater, through the rain curtain, she saw the genuine concern in Xu Shaoyan's eyes. For some reason, the concern in Xu Shaoyan's eyes made her suddenly relax her guard, and the grievances in her heart surged up, warm tears gushing out.

  Tears streaming down her face, she wailed to him: "I want to go home! I want to go home!"

  At this moment, she just wants to go home!

  Xu Shaoyan pulled Chu Zhiyi's arm, walked to the car parked in front of the cinema, stuffed Chu Zhiyi into the passenger seat, and then drove her home - Ah, after so long, he finally got his wish to let Chu Zhiyi "take a ride" on his Rolls-Royce Phantom, but why couldn't he feel happy at all?

  All the way, Cheng Zhiyi was silent and expressionless, just sitting there with a lost soul, her face pale and bloodless, letting the rainwater drip from her hair and tears flow from her wounds. It turned out that I was so evil, my heart still harbored resentment! So when I saw Chen Xiao Zheng give up on Zheng Wei, I would hate him so much! Hate to hold a sharp blade in hand, personally kill that man who didn't know how to cherish true love, hate to erase the scars of that painful youth. It turned out that I had never forgiven Lin Zhihao!

  Xu Shaoyan drove while occasionally turning his head to look at Cheng Zhiyi's beautiful and sorrowful profile, seeing the crystal tears falling from her eyes. Xu Shaoyan felt heartbroken and wanted to comfort her with words, but didn't know how to start.

  Also, in Jingyi's eyes, Xu Shaoyan was just a man with ulterior motives and evil intentions. If he spoke too much and revealed that he had secretly investigated her, she would hate him to death!

  From Mo Wei's mouth, Xu Shao Yan learned more about Cheng Zhi Yi's past and gradually understood this weak, pessimistic yet stubborn woman. After being robbed of her boyfriend by the deputy mayor's daughter, her self-esteem and confidence were severely damaged, and she gradually faded out of the crowd, avoiding the gossip-prone places. She didn't like watching sweet romance movies, didn't like people praising her beauty, didn't like heavily made-up women, didn't like ice cream, didn't like chocolate, didn't like holidays...

  Typhoon weather, the road near Jing Yiren's home was flooded, if it were in the past, Xu Shaoyan would definitely be crying and screaming for his expensive luxury car. However, at this moment, he only thought of sending Jing Yiren safely to her doorstep without letting her get wet again.

  The car finally drove into the alley and stopped in front of Cheng Qi's house. Xu Shaoyan quickly helped her open the door, but Cheng Qi still looked lost and expressionless as she got out of the car, opened the door, entered the house, and closed the door without even saying a word of thanks to Xu Shaoyan!

  With a "bang", her desolate and bleak figure disappeared behind the door, and Xu Shaoyan stood quietly in front of the door, thinking about her tear-stained face and her unbearable pain, his heart aching.

  Cheng Zhi stumbled into the room, dazed and confused, and immediately spotted Mo Wei lounging comfortably on the bed, holding an iPad and having a great time.

  She said she had an urgent matter at school, how could she be at home? —— Cheng Zhiyi was puzzled in her heart.

  Mo Wei glanced at Cheng Zhiyi entering the door, playing games while curiously opening her mouth to ask: "How was it? Was the movie good?" Then, she stopped the game in her hand, raised her head and smiled ambiguously at Cheng Zhiyi.

  However, what Mo Wei saw was Cheng Zhiyi's appearance of being neither human nor ghost. A look of uncontainable astonishment instantly appeared on Mo Wei's face - what had happened?

  Looking into Jingyi's eyes, which flashed with inquiry for a moment, Jingyi suddenly understood: it turned out that all of this was the "romance" arranged by Xu Shaoyan in advance, and Mo Wei had become Xu Shaoyan's "accomplice" at some point!

  No wonder she insisted on going to the movies despite the typhoon weather, no wonder the large theater was empty, no wonder she made an excuse to leave early because of school, and no wonder Xu Shao Yan appeared at the movie theater...

  As soon as she thought of this, Cheng Zhiyi's heart suddenly became even more distressed - after all, Mo Wei was her most intimate and trusted friend! Now, her most intimate and trusted friend had "betrayed" her, how could Cheng Zhiyi not be angry?! Moreover, if Xu Shao Yan was a good man worthy of entrusting one's heart to, then that would be fine, but he was actually a lecherous playboy! How could Mo Wei push herself into the arms of such a lustful rogue?!

  All the sadness and grievances surged to my heart, it hurt so much that I almost burst open. In my cold body, there seemed to be a furious beast locked inside, desperately wanting to break out. Finally, the furious beast inside me was unleashed, and I let out a hoarse scream at Mo Wei: "How could you trick me into watching such a heartbreaking movie?! You just wanted to humiliate me, didn't you? I'm that Zheng Wei who was abandoned by Chen Xiao Zheng... Are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied now...... Waaahhh... I hate you..."

  But did she really hate Mo Wei? No! She hated Lin Zhihao, hated Su Ruo, hated Xu Shaoyuan who had witnessed her sorrow from start to finish, hated the self that still couldn't let go of it all, and hated the feeling of being powerless in blaming one person and hating another.

  Cheng Zhiyi's sudden anger frightened Mo Wei, who stared at Cheng Zhiyi with wide eyes - my god, what was going on? Was this hysterical woman in front of her still the Cheng Zhiyi she knew?

  In over a decade of knowing her, she had never seen Cheng Zhiyi so heartbroken. Never!
