Chapter 43: Timely Intervention

  Perhaps because they had attended the same school, Cheng Zhiyuan gradually discovered that she and this warm "big boy" in front of her had a lot to talk about. From the school's playground to the director of the teaching office, from the basketball that leaked air during physical education class to the tone of the principal's speech, and then to the annoying class interval exercises...

  Moreover, she found that the man in front of her was not as young and naive as he appeared. He was erudite and eloquent, from Zhang Xiaofeng to Yu Guangzhong, from poetry to George Orwell's "1984" to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude"... He was well-read and knowledgeable, speaking with a smooth tongue and making perfect sense.

  Compared to that "gold on the outside, dross within" Xu Shaoyan who only knows how to indulge in flowers and wine, game with beauties, this man in front of her really has too much depth! Unbeknownst to herself, Cheng Zhiyi added another 10 points to Zheng Xiwen's score - still a perfect 100 for now.

  However, Cheng Zhiyi was enthusiastically chatting with Zheng Xiwen when she suddenly caught sight of Xu Shaoyan leaning against the bookshelf across from her, his hands inserted into his pockets, watching her with great interest, a faintly discernible sly smile playing on his lips.

  "My goodness! When did this man get here? Why is he stubbornly following him? Cheng Zhiyi stared at Xu Shao Yan with wide eyes, feeling a slight discomfort in her heart."

  Xu Shaoyan knew that Cheng Zhiyi had discovered him, so he leisurely raised his right hand, slightly raising his thick black sword eyebrows, and gave Cheng Zhiyi a silent greeting - hey, prosecutor princess!

  Eason Chan noticed something unusual about Cheng Qiyuan, so he turned around and saw a man who was even more handsome than him walking step by step towards "him" - oh no! Towards "her".

  Xu Shaoyan directly ignored Zheng Xiwens existence, walked straight to Cheng Ziyis side, put his hands on the table, leaned down and looked at Cheng Ziyi with deep affection, asking in a gentle and charming low voice: "Why didnt you return my text message? Why didnt you answer my phone call? Do you know how many times I called you?"

  Of course, she knew. Twenty-eight text messages, thirty-two missed calls! Cheng Zhiyi silently replied in her heart. However, she didn't want to respond, couldn't respond, and didn't dare to respond! Sometimes, silence is the best response. Didn't he understand? Didn't he understand?!

  "What's wrong?" The girl who had just smiled like a flower was now completely different, and Cheng Zhiyi had turned back into the cold and rude Cheng Zhiyi, with a chill in her eyes that seemed to reject people from afar.

  "I know you're angry with me, but we're already engaged, how can you come and date another man?" Xu Shaoyan's face instantly put on a heartbroken look, but his eyes revealed a hint of mischievous smile, continuing to act out his tragic play, "Can't we discuss things properly? Why must you hurt my heart like this..."

  "What are you talking about?!" Cheng Zhiyi suddenly stood up, glaring at Xu Shao with a scowl, gritting her teeth and saying - This abominable man, he was obviously intentionally trying to tease her! To think that this was his old trick, how could she not see through it?!

  Who would have thought that Xu Shaoyan would ignore the anger in her eyes, and suddenly grab her hand. Then, with a smile all over his face, he said to Zheng Xiwen, who had not yet figured out what was going on: "Sorry, sir, I'm taking her back!"

  After finishing, Xu Shaoyan swaggered out with Cheng Ziyi, not forgetting to turn back and instruct Zheng Xiwen: "Hey, trouble you to pay the bill!"

  "Let go! Let go!" Jing Yiyi shouted loudly, her face red with anger, not caring if she would disturb others. She struggled hard, but the more she struggled, the tighter Xu Shao Yan held on to her, and she couldn't break free from his grasp, only feeling a sharp pain in her wrist.

  Fortunately, there were only a few people in the book bar. However, everyone looked at them with curiosity and suspicion, not knowing whether they were performing a family drama or a romance, a tragedy or a comedy?

  Zheng Xiwen was also startled by Xu Shao Yan, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere like a program that had been bitten. He was still dazed and didn't know what had happened - just now, that man, was he Cheng Zhiyi's boyfriend? He had clearly already inquired about it, but Cheng Zhiyi currently doesn't have a boyfriend! It seems that Cheng Zhiyi doesn't want to go with him... Oh no, could he be a bad person?!

  Zheng Xiwen finally came to his senses, immediately stood up and chased out, but only saw Xu Shaoyan drill into a black car and then drive away...

  Xu Shaoyan's face always had a triumphant smile on it, because he was in such a good mood that he didn't even bother to pay attention to the angry roar of the restless 'woman' beside him, and just drove happily. It was all thanks to Mo Wei, if she hadn't notified him in time, how would he have known that this 'woman' had actually gone on a blind date!

  The day before yesterday, when Cheng Zhiyi said "let me think again", he thought that she might have been moved by his heroic act of saving the beauty, and for a moment, his heart was moved. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning on the bed until dawn. The next day, he eagerly sent her a text message, then waited for her response...

  And then there was no then!

  Until just now, he didn't know that the woman had actually gone on a blind date until he received Mo Wei's text message. He immediately postponed his important meeting with clients and rushed to Half Island Time - fortunately, he arrived just in time, otherwise, judging from the smiles on Cheng Zhiyi and the man's faces, it would have "gone smoothly" and "ended perfectly".

  For the past two months, he has been struggling in endless thoughts, waking up as if drunk and passing days like years. It wasn't until after experiencing it personally that he believed love is actually a poison, and longing is addiction to the poison!

  Only heaven knows how much effort he put in to suppress the longing to see her, and not appear before her again. Only heaven knows how much wine he drank, to make his memories dull, and no longer heart-wrenching.

  After experiencing a two-month longing, after experiencing a heart-wrenching farewell, no matter how hard he tried, he could not erase his love for her. Later, he finally understood his true feelings - he really loved her, loved her very much, and it was not just infatuation!

  Two months later, he and she miraculously met again. What is this if it's not fate?! From that moment on, he made up his mind -

  This time, he must hold her tightly, grasp her hand, and capture her heart.

  This life will not leave, this life will not abandon!
