The Rest of My Life

What are the feelings of Auntie Zhou and Little Night? I'm not really interested.

I was more concerned with Zhou Xun's thoughts.

When I got back to the bedroom and closed the door, I stared at him and asked, "Uncle Zhou, what are you trying to do?"

Zhou Xun silently looked at me for a long time before he gently reached out and held me in his arms. "I've let you suffer again."

He didn't answer my question at all!

Naturally, I was unsatisfied. I broke free from his embrace and said hoarsely, "I am not the only one who is feeling wronged, you are also feeling wronged with me! "That's why I don't understand what you're trying to do!"

Maybe it was because his kneeling had shocked me so much, but even now, I still couldn't calm down. I almost lost control of my emotions.

Zhou Xun reached out again and tried to take my arm.

I slapped his hand away in excitement. "If you don't tell me, I won't be able to continue acting with you!"

Zhou Xun's hand hung in the air, unmoving for a long time.

I looked at him stubbornly.

He slowly lowered his hand and sighed, "Other than enduring, what else can I do?"

I stared at him, confused.

What did he mean? It was clear that Grandpa Zhou was on his side, and it was clearly Aunt Zhou who was causing trouble. Why did he have to endure this?

My tone wasn't too good. "You're just enduring. What can you get? Aunt was obviously acting out of temper. If I don't leave, she won't stop! "Unless we separate …"

Zhou Xun did not reply.

I was shocked. Could it be … Is he trying to make me angry by offering to leave?

Thinking of this possibility, I couldn't help but sneer. "Have you already decided to separate from me? "Since that's the case, why did you kneel for me just now and let me go against my aunt? Maybe if I cause a ruckus with her, I'll just leave!"

Zhou Xun's expression turned grim, but he remained silent.

The more I felt, the more uncomfortable I felt.

I wondered what he would have done if he had been in Northwest China.

Would he still choose to endure? Could he bear to be troubled by Aunt Zhou?

I think he definitely can't bear to part with it. He'll probably protect Bei Bei perfectly, and won't let Bei Bei suffer any grievances …

Thinking of this, my mood immediately sank to the bottom.

I could no longer care about anything else. I lowered my eyes and whispered, "Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry. I overestimated myself …" I thought I could be your fiancée and filial piety with you. "But as it turns out, I don't have the ability. I can't please Auntie Zhou, nor can I help you achieve what you want. I can only implicate you …" I bit the corner of my lips and said, "How about, we end the contract …"

The end of the contract also means that the engagement between me and him will also end. In the future, we might not even have a chance to meet. After all, his identity and status isn't something that I can easily meet.

And my love... It would also end in failure.

Zhou Xun did not move for a long time.

I lowered my head. I couldn't see his expression, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

Just as I was about to lose my patience and try to sneak a peek at him, he grabbed me by the chin.

I was forced to look up and meet his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at me. "You said to end the contract?"

My nose turned sour and I choked with sobs, "Hmm … "It's because I'm too timid and useless, I'm not worthy of you …"

If it was a stronger woman, she could probably accompany him in this scene or have long thought of a way to deal with Auntie Zhou.

I had always known that I was a different person from him, but after what happened today with Aunt Zhou, I was more aware of that fact.

He pinched my chin and said in a low voice, "Say it again?"

His eyes were as cold as the frost on a cold winter night.

I couldn't help but cry.

I already felt wronged, so when I thought about parting with him, my mood became even gloomier. In the end, he even scolded me …

Perhaps it was because of my tears, but Zhou Xun's face softened and his thumb gently caressed the corner of my eye.

He then said gently, "You said that as long as I don't chase you away, no matter what happens in the future, you won't be afraid. You will always be by my side."

I started, and the tears started falling harder.

Yes, I did say that. However, what I expected was that I would be willing to accompany him in the stormy weather, be it a rain of bullets or a mountain of blades or a sea of flames. But I couldn't stand to be trampled by his aunt like that.

I tugged at his sleeve and sobbed, "Just treat it as my regret …"

His eyes flitted across my face and he said bluntly, "No!"

My chest hurt so bad I couldn't control my sobs.

He slowly released me and said lightly, "I'll go see Grandfather first. You go soak in the bath first and think about it carefully."

With that, he turned and left.

The door slammed shut and he left just like that …

I thought back to his expressionless face and how his heart had been hollowed out.

What bothered me more was his attitude. He didn't want to let me go, nor did he want to have a showdown with Auntie Zhou. He wanted to continue coaxing her.

In other words, I had to continue to endure Aunt Zhou's unreasonable and unreasonable behavior with him.

I cried in silence for a long time before I remembered I was not feeling well and went to the bathroom.

In the mirror, my head and face were covered in grease. In my hair, there was still residue from the soup. My eyes were swollen, and my face had also swelled up because of the slap from Auntie Zhou …

No matter how he looked at it, he was in a sorry state.

On the surface, I was still able to accept the sorry state I was in, but the pain in my heart made me feel especially tired. I covered my eyes with my hands and simply cried to my heart's content.

After I had finished my drowsy shower and cleaned up, Zhou Xun never returned to his room.

I didn't want to face Aunt Zhou and the Zhou family, so I decided to just sleep.

Maybe after waking up, Auntie Zhou suddenly became kind and friendly …

Of course, this kind of fantasy could only be a fantasy, but at this moment, I really don't want to go out and meet people.

Just as he lay down on the bed, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Xun had always pushed open the door and entered, so it definitely wasn't him. Then … Who could it be?

I opened the door and saw the young woman standing there with tears in her eyes.

She spoke softly, "Miss Nian, may I have a chat with you?"

I looked at her in silence.

She was crying bitterly, her eyes were swollen, and there was a pleading look on her face.

I secretly sighed and moved aside. "Come in."

She lowered her head and entered the room. When she saw me closing the door, she used the back of her hand to wipe her eyes. "Miss Nian, have you and Elder Cousin Xun quarreled?"

I replied, "No."

Of course, people like Zhou Xun couldn't argue with me, but he and I had our differences, but there was no need for me to tell her about this.

She sniffed, as if considering what to say.

I handed her a box of tissues.

She whispered her thanks.

Seeing that she had become silent, he took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to talk about?"

She rubbed the tissue, but shook her head.

I was not in a good mood to begin with. She was still crying in front of me, so I became impatient. My voice turned cold. "Hurry up and say it. I'm not feeling well. I want to rest."

She slowly stopped crying and said, "I told you, don't be angry with me, okay?"

I said, "You first."

She hesitated for a moment before saying: "I apologize to you. I was worried earlier and couldn't bear to see Elder Cousin Xun kneel before you."

I could understand her anxiety. After all, Zhou Xun was someone she liked. I could understand that she had pushed the blame onto me, because she wanted to protect Zhou Xun.

But understanding was one thing, accepting her apology was another.

I calmly replied, "There's no need."

She might have been struck by my sarcasm and fallen silent again.

I waited for her for half a minute, and when she didn't speak, I narrowed my eyes and tried to chase her away.

In the end, she suddenly raised her head and stared straight at me. "Sis Nian, please leave Elder Cousin Xun."
