Hearing this, Chi Yiming was a little surprised.
He thought Chi Yan was very tolerant. In his childhood memories, Chi Yan was mostly calm and tolerant. So he didn’t expect that he could even say such words.
Chi Yiming’s smile disappeared: “Why don’t you continue pretending? Aren’t you always able to endure it?”
Chi Yan looked at him coldly, blocking Jiang Sui behind him, his eyes cold and stern: “Yiming, you really don’t look like the child I raised.”
Chi Yiming chuckled, as if he had heard something funny: “Besides giving me food to eat, have you ever taught me anything else?” And those few bites of food were bought with his mother’s life.
Chi Yan frowned and felt tired.
He turned around and asked Jiang Sui: “Will you come with me?”
When he asked this question, his voice was very faint, but only he knew how uncertain he was. He was no match for Chi Yiming, and could not give Jiang Sui a stable life, or even a definite love.
Chi Yan knew that he was a person without a future.
His dark eyes stared into hers, and when their eyes met, Jiang Sui saw only endless darkness.
There wasn’t even any expectation in Chi Yan’s eyes, as if her words of choosing Chi Yiming were just a gust of summer breeze that would pass by lightly.
Although his eyes were dark, she didn’t know why she thought of the sea, hiding all the turbulent emotions under the surface, all the while looking cold and emotionless. She smiled at him, and in Chi Yan’s eyes, it was like peach blossoms suddenly blooming in March. Then he heard Jiang Sui say, “Well, I’ll go with you.”
Chi Yiming: “Jiang Sui!”
Jiang Sui poked her head out from behind Chi Yan, with boundless disgust in her eyes. She had endured it all night, and finally spoke crisply: “Chi Yiming, I’ve wanted to say this for a long time, you are an arrogant, conceited playboy, and disgusting little pervert!”
It felt so good to say it out loud, that Jiang Sui felt relaxed all over.
Chi Yiming’s eyes suddenly turned cold, almost spitting fire.
Jiang Sui grabbed Chi Yan’s clothes and avoided Chi Yiming’s gaze: “Okay, let’s go.”
Chi Yiming laughed in anger: “You can do it!”
Chi Yan looked at her and saw that her eyes were sparkling, he was silent for a moment, touched her hair and said: “Let’s go.”
Jiang Sui no longer cared about Chi Yiming’s expression and followed Chi Yan out of the community.
There was moonlight in the summer in R City. Although it was not as bright as street lamps, it still made the darkness of the night milder. Jiang Sui’s heart was pounding. She had wanted to scold Chi Yiming for a long time. She thought she would never be able to express her disgust for him until she died. She didn’t expect that there would be a day when she could say it out loud.
Jiang Sui once minded that Chi Yan gave her to Chi Yiming.
But now she knew that some misunderstandings were not intentional.
She couldn’t help but look at Chi Yan again and again. Chi Yan stopped. He was not dead, so how could he ignore her look: “What’s wrong?” Could it be that she regretted it after taking just a few steps?
Her face was pink and tender, and tears seemed to come out of her eyes: “Chi Yan, I have scolded Chi Yiming. He holds a grudge. No matter what happens in the future, you can’t leave me to him.”
Chi Yan was somewhat unable to bear her trusting look.
He didn’t know how to tell her that he brought her to his side not to protect her in the first place, but to preserve the situation that he had worked so hard to change over the years and everything he had gained.
Including the lives of those people on the island.
But at this moment, her eyes were full of trust, so he whispered in a low voice: “I’ll try my best.”
Jiang Sui was shocked. Why not make a guarantee but say that he would try his best?
She felt a little aggrieved: “Can’t you just promise me?”
She had already fallen out with Chi Yiming, and she felt horrified at the thought of falling into the hands of that pervert Chi Yiming again in the future.
But the man in front of her was too calm and would never tell her anything he was uncertain about to comfort her.
He held the back of her head and said, “I’m not that strong. Do you know what the biggest difference between me and Chi Yiming is?”
Jiang Sui was stunned: “What?”
Chi Yan said: “The one he relies on is his biological father. I have no one to rely on, I am alone.” Even if Chi Yiming failed and his family property fell into the hands of his sister, he would not be killed by his relatives.
But Chi Yan only had this flesh and blood body. If he failed, he would be a waste to the Third Master and would be trampled upon by countless people.
For many years, he had been living alone like this.
Chi Yiming always said that Chi Yan had never given him anything except a meal. However, for the young Chi Yan, a meal was everything.
Outlook on life and values were all bullsh*t when you couldn’t even get enough to eat.
Chi Yan looked down at her eyes. The girl’s eyes were clear, filled with the peaceful little moon in her hometown and his appearance. He seemed to smile. After so many years, she was still the one that moved him the most.
His first understanding of beauty was this pair of bright eyes. The collision with the black and white of his youth made his regularly beating heart a little uncomfortable. So even though his situation was not that good, he still wanted to catch her.
Even if it was only for a short time, it was better than having regrets for a lifetime.
Jiang Sui suddenly felt a little sad. She had witnessed his hard and miserable childhood, but because of her inner grudge, there was very little she could do for Chi Yan.
But for some things, it was never too late to do them.
Jiang Sui said, “You and I are together, and we are two people.” She seemed a little embarrassed, “I don’t have any great skills, but I can make money. If that day comes, I won’t let you go hungry.”
It was the stupidest thing in the world, but despite the words being so innocent, he felt his heart shrink sharply.
Chi Yan didn’t even dare to look at her anymore. Her existence was such a terrible temptation. He was really afraid that he would become the person in Chi Yiming’s mouth in the next moment, and his calmness would break, and he would drag her with him even if he died.
As if he couldn’t stand it anymore, he patted her head for a long while and said calmly, “Stop talking nonsense.”
