Ye Xi stared at the voice message in shock, thinking that the Overlord Qiao would not come up with any tricks to make things difficult for her, right?
Her white fingertips paused on the voice message. Just as she was about to click on it, the sound of the bathroom suddenly stopped. Following that, the door opened as well.
Ye Xi's fingers trembled in panic. He hurriedly covered the flat surface, but it was unknown if he was too anxious, or why, when his fingertips accidentally touched the voice message.
The unruly tone of a certain overlord brimming with a strong sense of banditry immediately spread out.
"Xi Xi, you have to have a begging attitude when you're begging. Isn't that attitude of yours a bit too perfunctory? "Come on, call the good older brother and let this grandpa hear it. This grandpa will help you when I'm satisfied!"
"?" Ye Xi felt extremely helpless.
Ye Xi covered his face and wailed. He was really done for now!
Sitting stiffly on the lazy chair, Ye Xi tried a few times but failed to get up and walked into the bedroom.
It wasn't as if she hadn't seen someone go crazy. Right now, she didn't even dare to look at his face!
Alright, she was actually quite a coward!
After waiting for a long time and seeing that Ye Xi had not recovered, a certain Overlord was finally willing to use his golden fingers to send her a message.
"I told her, she'll reply to you later." After the news, he even left an expression of helplessness.
When Ye Xi saw the news, he heaved a sigh of relief. This proved that Qiao Wei was fine.
She was fine, but she was in trouble!
Scratching his hair, Ye Xi leaned back on the chair, escaping from the corpse.
Half an hour later, when Ye Xi heard the sound of the bedroom door opening and closing, his nerves tensed up.
Clenching his fists, Ye Xi stood up in a hurry and walked to his bedroom. He did not see anyone.
Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he walked out of the bedroom.
In the living room, with someone's figure not present, Ye Xi locked his gaze onto the study room that was half open.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xi slowly walked towards the study room.
When he walked to the door of the study, Ye Xi realized that there was only darkness in the study room, and the lights were not turned on.
The only light was cast from the living room.
The lonely man stood at the study room's window. The light from the study room's entrance reflected on his back. At this moment, he looked so lonely.
Ye Xi's heart ached, and he walked over.
However, after walking two steps towards the study room, the man's cold voice was filled with a repressed ster
ess. "Go back to your room and sleep!"
"?" Ye Xi lowered his eyes, he then stopped and continued to walk towards him.
"I'll let you go back to your room to sleep!" The man's voice was suddenly cold and sharp, like a blade that pierced into Ye Xi's ears.
Ye Xi took a light breath and stood at his original position.
The distance between the two of them was not even five steps. It was clearly very short, but Ye Xi had the guts to say that he was very, very far away from her, so far that she could not even catch him by his hand.
His heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. A moment ago, the two of them had been as intimate as one person.
However, at this moment, the two of them seemed to be inferior to even strangers because strangers, at least, wouldn't make her feel sad or worried about gains or losses.
Ye Xi sorrowfully discovered that the longer she stayed with him, the more worried she became about her personal gains and losses.
With a single word, he could send her to heaven, and with a single word, he could send her to hell.
His gentle action was enough to make all the cells in her body dance. And his cold and distant action made her feel as if she had swallowed a large bowl of coptis, making her feel unspeakably bitter.
Ye Xi lightly twirled his finger, took a deep breath, and walked towards him again.
Standing behind him, Ye Xi could clearly feel the cold energy radiating from his body. His small face had turned pale from the cold and she slowly reached out to hug the man from behind.
Her soft body pressed against his broad back regardless of anything else, as if trying to use her body's temperature to disperse the cold.
The man's body stiffened for a moment. He didn't push her away nor did he give her any response. His entire body became as cold as ice.
Ye Xi closed his eyes and opened his mouth. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain to him what had happened between her and Qiao Jinglian.
Too much, she had to admit, too many things had happened between her and Qiao Jinglian before.
Before she was sixteen, in her life, other than Xu Qiu, Qiao Jinglian occupied the majority of her life.
He was domineering enough to leave his mark everywhere she moved.
Maybe before she was twelve, when she was still young and didn't know what love was, she had naively thought that as long as she became the Brother Lian's daughter-in-law, they would be together forever. That way, she wouldn't be so lonely as to not have a single friend.
Yeah, Qiao Jinglian was her only friend at that time.
At that time, it wasn't as if there were no children of the same age as her, but for some reason, no one was willing to play with her, other than Qiao Jinglian.
Therefore, he was her childhood reliance. Other than the time needed for her to eat three meals a day, she was willing to spend it with him.
She did everything he wanted her to do because she was scared, and in the end she didn't even want to play with him anymore.
Growing older, her request or orders to him seemed to be something she would not habitually reject. What Qiao Jinglian had said back then was equivalent to an imperial edict to her.
But before she turned twelve, Qiao Jinglian had never treated her as tyra
ically or maliciously as he did in the following years.
Although he liked to instruct her to do this and that, he was very good to her.
When he was eleven, Qiao Jinglian was already seventeen or eighteen. At that time, he had the nickname "Overlord Qiao" in the "Jianghu".
Of course, this nickname wasn't obtained in vain, but was created from fighting one battle after another.
At that time, the school they attended was the only aristocratic school in B City. It had a primary school, primary school, and high school.
At that time, she wasn't some noble clan, but the Grandpa Qiao doted on Qiao Jinglian and agreed to all of his requests.
In order to avoid losing her, a "loyal" follower, Qiao Jinglian asked the Grandpa Qiao to send her to a noble school.
At the age of eleven, she was still in the sixth grade and was about to enter junior high.
Qiao Jinglian was originally in his third year of high school, but when he went to middle school, he just so happened to graduate from high school.
However, he didn't know which part of the fight had turned out like this. He had taken the initiative to drop two levels, and Hua Li had gone from third year to first year.
Of course, the only thing that didn't change was that he relied on his handsome appearance and his days of fighting and creating trouble. He firmly ranked first on the school's celebrity rankings.
At that time, the atmosphere in the school was like this. Even though they were both boys, even if you were the top scorer of the a
ual exams, you were still nothing compared to a 'bad boy' who also knew how to fight.
Therefore, Qiao Jinglian was publicly acknowledged as the "perfect lover" by all the students in the entire junior high section.
