Chapter 11: The Secret of the Door Lock 4

  Zi Xi rearranged her emotions. Since Yao liked a dead person, if she persisted, Yao would eventually accept her after all, as she was the longest-lasting woman by Yao's side so far.

  About the woman that Yo has been unable to forget for a long time, Shiki believes that as long as she is devoted enough to Yo, he will eventually forget about that woman.

  She sat in front of her dresser, gazing at her delicate face in the mirror: Zixi! You must be able to win Yao's heart!

  Ling Shuiyue arrived as scheduled. It turned out that he thought he would never love again in this life, Zi Xi was an excellent woman, if there must be a woman by his side, Ling Shuiyue was willing to choose her.

  However, with Muxi Xue's appearance, Ling Shuiyue's long-sealed heart was opened, he knew he loved, and he knew he could love.

  Since Zi Xi still had hope for herself, he must face her and tell her clearly, although it was cruel, he hoped that Zi Xi could see his sincerity. He couldn't fall in love with her, but he absolutely couldn't deceive her.

  "Wow!" Zixi was so excited, she was punctual today, and unexpectedly Ling Shuiyue was already sitting there waiting for her. This was the first time in their dates that this had happened, usually it was the other way around.

  Ling Shui opened the chair for Zixi, and Zixi's heart surged with joy, her face filled with smiles: "Yao! How about we go to the beach after dinner?"

  Ling Shuiyue forced a faint smile and turned her head to beckon the waiter.

  "Fliver, Nordic pear mousse, crimson sky. Thank you!"

  "Another one, plus a bottle of beer."

  Zi Xi found it strange that Ling Shuiyue had never ordered wine when they ate together: "Shuiyue! Is it a good thing or a good mood?"

  Zi Xi wore a crimson fitted knee-length dress today, her perfect figure was fully exposed. Her straight hair fell to her shoulders, and her large earrings hid in her black hair, revealing themselves from time to time, both cute and beautiful.

  Ling Shui gazed at Zi Xi: her straight hair slowly pulled back, the large earrings transformed into square-shaped diamond studs, and her dreamy eyes sparkled with emotion... She was smiling, she liked him...

  Zi Xi saw Ling Shui Yao staring at her without blinking, his mouth corners slowly rising, and her heart almost jumped out. Yao must have fallen in love with her: "Yao, how about we get drunk today?"

  Zi Xi finished speaking and saw Ling Shui Yao still staring at her without blinking, her heartbeat became shy: "Yao...... the service staff is here."

  Ryō's eyes widened in surprise, and the person in front of him had turned into Shiki: What was going on? The one sitting in front of him should be Shiki; they had an appointment today, and he also wanted to express his true feelings.

  "Oh, wine......" Seeing the waiter asking if he wanted to pour some wine first, Ling Shuiyue covered up his own guilt: "Yes! Fill it up!"

  "Ah——! You know I don't have much alcohol tolerance......" Zi Xi's voice was soft.

  "Half a cup! Sorry! I'll just put it here. Thanks!" Ling Shuiyue picked up the Perrier that the waiter had placed on the table and poured half a cup for Zi Xi.

  Zi Xi was already drunk before the wine arrived. She raised her glass: "To every second we spend together..."

  Ryō didn't say a word and downed his drink in one gulp. Shiki saw Ryō finish his drink in one gulp, so she also finished the liquor in her cup.

  Ling Shuiyue refilled his own glass and raised it in front of Zixi, wanting to say something but stopping himself, then downed the drink in one gulp.

  Zi Xi only then realized that the atmosphere was off, and it wasn't what she had thought.

  "Zixi! That day you said we're not a normal couple, and mentioned breaking up... I think your words make sense..."

  As Ling Shuiyue spoke, Zixi's face turned increasingly ugly: "What are you saying? What do you want to say?"

  "You're great, excellent. We also had an agreement at the beginning, half a year, within a year, if both parties feel suitable then be together, if one party feels unsuitable then break up. As you said, I... we are not suitable to be together, no need to stick to this agreement."

  "What? Inappropriate? You're telling me this today?"

  Zi Xi interrupted Ling Shuiyue's words, and she had a feeling of falling from heaven to hell in an instant: "You... ...worked hard? Great, great! What if I don't agree? After all, it's not even been a year yet."

  "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

  "Nowhere is good, all I can do for you is be honest!"

  "Is that all?! Is that guy really that great?!" Zi Xi held back her tears, she didn't want to cry at this moment, she wanted to say what was on her mind.

  "I thought, I used to think, that in this life, I would only love one person, but... Zixi, I'm very ordinary, I met my love."

  "Have you fallen in love with someone else?"

  "Uh, sorry."

  "I'm very sorry?" "There's nothing to be sorry about, six months... We were just friends? I remember our original agreement was that if the person you were waiting for didn't show up, you could only choose me." This was the first time she had fallen for a man, and she couldn't just let him go so easily.

  "Zi Xi! Forgive me! You will find your own happiness."

  "When I heard Ling Shuiyue's words of blessing for myself, Zi Xi's tears burst out: 'Before the deadline, I am still your girlfriend!'"

  Ling Shuiyue knew that he was wrong, Zi Xi was a good woman, she devoted herself to him, even in his dreams when he called out another woman's name, she only turned her back to wipe away tears, and when she faced him again, all she showed was a smile.

  "He also mustered up his courage to say those words, because all he could do for her was be honest: 'Zixi, don't get agitated......'"

  "I'm not excited! The time hasn't come yet, the person you're waiting for hasn't appeared, and I won't agree. Ling Shuiyue! You dared to do it back then, now you must have the courage to take responsibility!"

  "Zi Xi! I couldn't deceive you! If I deceived even you, would I still be human? I just wanted to hurt you the least."

  "What about now? Are you not hurting me right now? Are you not currently harming me?"

  "Yes! Everything is my fault. You're a good girl and I couldn't bear deceiving you!"

  "I can tolerate it," said Tsubaki, and without giving Ling Shuiyue any more time to continue, she grabbed her bag and ran away.

  Ryō looked at Shiki's disheveled footsteps, proud Shiki, when had she ever been so flustered?

  He will go to hell! He first betrayed Xia Xian's love and then owed Zi Xi's true feelings.

  He will go to hell sooner or later!
