The Rest of My Life

I froze.

It was actually Ye Bei Bei...

Ye Jingchen sat on the edge of the bed and took my hand as he answered the phone.

I gently avoided it.

His eyes were deep and steady as he looked at me.

I heard him ask Ye Beibei if he was feeling better, his voice soft enough to drip water.

It made my mood darken.

I didn't want to listen any longer, so I pulled back the covers and got out of bed on the other side.

He seemed to want to take my hand, but I pulled him away.

I went out in my slippers.

He didn't give me a chance to escape this time. He stepped forward and grabbed me.

He was still answering the phone, comforting Ye Beibei.

My chest stagnated before I whispered, "You should pick up the phone first."

I pulled my hand away and left the room.

As the door closed, I stood in the hallway and took several deep breaths before I could calm myself.

There were a lot of bodyguards in the corridor, and there were a lot of plainclothes policemen guarding the entrance to Tao Zhizhou.

I thought for a moment, then knocked on Shen Zixian's door.

Shen Zixian should have already gone to sleep, after all it was already past 12 in the morning.

Sure enough, the door opened and Shen Zixian's eyes became sleepy. Seeing me, he opened his eyes wide and said: "What happened?"

I shook my head and whispered, "Can I go in?"

Although Shen Zixian had a face of surprise, he did not hesitate and immediately let me in.

He poured me a cup of hot water and stared at me. "Are you crying?"

I was stunned and denied it. "No."

He pointed at my eyes and said with a frown, "You're already red here. Don't tell me that you just entered the sand."

I was surprised because I didn't even realize I was crying.

Even though I was feeling like I was going to die, I had been in the corridor for a while, and I thought I had adjusted myself.

Shen Zixian suddenly raised his voice and said, "Did Zhou Xun go to your room?"

As expected, he was not clear about Zhou Xun's whereabouts.

I looked at him speechlessly.

He immediately jumped up, "I've already ordered someone to stop him. How did he get in?" He walked two laps around the tea table, cursing, "Sly scum!"

I was angry and amused and ignored him.

He rolled up the sleeves of his pajamas and was about to rush out to argue with Zhou Xun.

I hastily pulled him back. "Forget it, I've already come out. Don't wake the others up."

Shen Zisheng glared at me in dissatisfaction, looking me up and down for a moment, then said: "Did he bully you?"

Actually, it wasn't a bullying.

But... I couldn't stand him talking to Ye Beibei on the phone in front of me, but he was still talking to me in that gentle tone of his...

I sighed. "No."

Shen Zi Shi obviously did not believe him, and said unhappily: "Just what happened, you have to tell me clearly, only then will I help you get out of this situation."

I don't want him to know about Ye Bei Bei calling Zhou Xun, or else he would definitely cause trouble with Zhou Xun again.

Thus, I changed the topic and said, "Can I sleep here? "Can you go and sleep with Uncle Zhou?"

Shen Zixian pinched his nose and said disdainfully, "I don't want to sleep with that guy!"

I looked at him. "Then, do you want me to return to my room?"

He choked on his words for a moment before saying, "Forget it, I'll just go squeeze with Zhizhou for a bit."

However, Tao Zhizhou had just finished his surgery, how could he be disturbed …

Instead, I hesitated.

Shen Zisheng glared at me in displeasure and said: "You don't need to worry about that. Hurry up and rest, tomorrow morning I will find Wednesday and settle the score less."

Then he went out.

I am very grateful for Shen Zixian's indulgence of me.

When I was a kid, I envied my brother, who was a few years older than her, to pick her up in the rain and lead her across the street.

Now that I have an elder brother, the feeling of being protected isn't bad.

Just the thought of Zhou Xun made me feel sad again.

The view outside the window was a blur. I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.

When he woke up the next day, Shen Zixian was downstairs having breakfast. Tao Zhizhou was also there.

I was surprised. Shouldn't he be lying in bed right now?

Shen Zixian waved his hand at me and said, "Come over and eat something. In a while, we will return to [The Emperor]."

I was more and more surprised.

I think I heard from them that they are going to wait for Tao Zhizhou's injury to stabilize before returning. Why did they suddenly change their mind?

It would be New Year's Eve two days later.

Seemingly seeing my doubt, Shen Zixian explained, "I have an urgent matter with Captain Tao, so I need to hurry back."

I frowned and asked, "Can Captain Tao hold on?"

A three-hour flight, in case the wound breaks.

Tao Zhizhou smiled and said, "It's fine. I know what I'm doing."

Since they have already agreed on it, I naturally have no objections.

However, when I looked around, I couldn't see Zhou Xun.

I was a little curious, but I couldn't ask him on my own accord, so I could only keep my doubts to myself.

Shen Zisheng glanced at me and said: "What are you looking for?"

I shook my head.

He coldly snorted and said, "Are you looking for Wednesday? He went to the airport early, so we'll meet up with him later. "

So it was like this.

Shen Zixian snappily warned me, "Why are you so concerned about him, don't forget what you said yourself."

He probably meant that I had decided to separate from Zhou Xun.

I whispered, "Don't worry, I won't change my mind."

Tao Zhizhou listened with a smile, but didn't say anything.

After breakfast, we set off for the airport.

It had taken me five or six hours to walk here, but it would only take me two hours to tell the truth. The reason for the delay was probably to avoid being hunted down by the police.

It was no wonder that Zhou Xun had arrived so quickly. He must have been here on his own accord.

At the airport, Zhou Xun was waiting for us.

His eyes fell on me.

I avoided eye contact and hid behind Shen Zixian, pretending I didn't see him.

Actually, I think it's weird, why would Shen Zixian go with Zhou Xun.

Wasn't he muttering about how he didn't like Zhou Xun?

However, at such a critical moment, he still appeared to trust Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun warned him softly, "It's time to go."

This time, it's a chartered plane back to (Emperor) Capital. The cabin is filled with familiar people, but I've always been sitting together with Shen Zixian and haven't spoken to Zhou Xun from start to finish.

Three hours later, the plane arrived at the airport.

Shen Zixian said: "The family has sent a driver here. In a while, don't go anywhere, just follow me."

I agreed.

But in the underground parking lot, just as I was about to get on the car, Zhou Xun stopped me.

I hesitated, then stopped and waited.

He walked over and asked softly, "Are you really not coming back with me?"

I nodded.

He said, "Grandpa is very worried about you. Rui Rui is back too. He misses you …"

For a moment I was in a trance.

He actually brought out Grandpa Zhou and Rui Rui.

Grandpa Zhou was very nice to me, and I really wanted Rui Rui, but I couldn't change my mind for Zhou and Rui.

Separating from Zhou Xun was a decision that I made after much deliberation.

At the end of the day, no matter how good the Zhou Family is, if there's a problem with my relationship with Zhou Xun, it's impossible for me to continue with him.

So I stayed silent.

Zhou Xun looked at me and suddenly said in a low voice, "You gave me a call to Bei Bei last night. You just told me that she was fine."

I met his eyes in surprise.

She didn't expect him to bring up Ye Beibei.
