Chapter 890: Have You Recovered Already?
This door is unable to block me…
He was right. If he wanted to get in, this door was not a problem at all.
Leng Zhiyuan let her hand go.
She went inside the living room, lifted her heels, and went upstairs immediately. The sound of footsteps behind were just like a shadow. He trailed behind her the entire time. Leng Zhiyuan thought for a moment. If she was unable to avoid it today, then she would explain clearly, so when she went inside the room, she did not close the door.
Zhou Yao followed her inside the room. He shut the door with his leg with a bang!
Leng Zhiyuan stood in the middle of the room to look at him. He was also looking at her quietly. It was already afternoon. The bright rays of suns.h.i.+ne shone through the layers of curtains as they seeped inside. The warm rays of suns.h.i.+ne spewed down on his face and illuminated his handsome face that was getting slimmer.
He wore a black t-s.h.i.+rt today and had a pair of black pants. Although he’d lost a lot of weight, the man’s bone structure was naturally strong. He was tall with long legs as he stood at the door just like a guard.
His handsome features had all slimmed down. His side profile became hard and even more stern. The expression on his face was not too good, and his dark, bottomless gaze was focused on her intently, and he was just like a wild beast fixed on its prey.
“Have you…recovered already?” she asked him.
Upon hearing this question, the corners of Zhou Yao’s thin lips curled upwards as he said, “I have recovered…thanks to you.”
He had grievances. She knew that.
“Since you are fine, what did you come here for then? I think that the both of us have already spoken about this clearly. We…do not have much to say…”
“Hah!” He was still smiling as he said, “You do not have much to say to me, and you have something to say to Ye Ziyi then? It has only been a few days, and you are pretending not to know me anymore?”
His words were very sharp and made her feel a little awkward. She did not plan to explain the matters between her and Ye Ziyi. With Han Xuan there, it was probably enough for him to be busy.
Leng Zhiyuan turned around, and placed her bag on the coat rack as she said, “It is up to you to say whatever you want… Zhou Yao, after all, we were good with one another once, and now, since we were fine together. We should split on good terms…”
She had yet to finish her words, and Zhou Yao had already came over to come behind her. A large, defined palm gently pressed down on her shoulder before pus.h.i.+ng her, and her back crashed directly against the wall.
There was an extremely angered face in front of her. Zhou Yao’s eyes were all red as he stared at her, and he slowly said, “Leng Zhiyuan, I really want to dig your heart out to have a look!”
Leng Zhiyuan did not bear to look him in the eye. It would be better for the pain to be short rather than to drag it out. Her tone was all cold as she said, “Let go! This is the Leng home. It is not a place where you can do whatever you want just because you want to!”
Zhou Yao saw her behaving like this, and his eyes got even redder. He curled the corners of his lips up as he laughed coldly. He lowered his volume, and only she could hear what he was saying as he said, “Do something? I really want to strangle you to death right now!”
His large palm went upwards and pinched her weak but elegant neck.
Leng Zhiyuan immediately found it hard to breathe. She looked at him quietly. His palm was exerting strength, and her small face slowly became red, but she did not let out a single squeak. She did not beg to be spared.
If by doing this, he could feel better, then she would allow him to do so.
Zhou Yao’s dark moving eyes had a crack appear in them. It was just like a broken net. She was so quiet right now. Was she just so sure that he would not bear to do so?
He really did not bear to do so.
Her neck was in his hands. As long as he used strength, she would die, but he did not dare to do so. Every time his hands exerted strength, his heart would ache even more.
He never knew that love would be so painful and torturing.
He had a smile on his face as he took his hand back. He stretched his tongue out to lick his dry lips, and he mocked himself as he said, “The moment I opened my eyes, I was searching for you, but all of them said that you did not come. For eight whole days, you did not come to visit me for a single moment at all.”
Leng Zhiyuan held her neck as she took a few steps back. She went far away from him, and she turned her body around and allowed her tears to fall down from the corners of her eyes.
“I did not believe what all of them said. I pulled the IV drip in my hand out to look for you. I ran down from the sixth floor, fifth floor, fourth floor, third floor, second floor, first floor. I searched every single floor, and I thought that you must have hidden in some corner to watch me secretly. The people that pa.s.sed by all looked at me as they commented about me behind my back. They said that I was a madman…
“I think that I was really mad. It was you who personally pushed me away. Till today, I still remember how you went out of the door without turning your head back at all that night. You were so firm. I am just fooling others and myself. Why was I still thinking that you would come over to visit me?
“Hah, when I ran out of the main lobby of the hospital and stood outside, there was a gust of cold wind that blew over. At that time, I really awoke. You really did not come over.
“I still do not understand why you could be so cruel. You know what it means for me when Han Xuan is the one saving me, but you still pushed me away. I just want to ask you today: why? What is the exact reason?”
Leng Zhiyuan stretched her hand out to wipe the tears on her face. Was it like this? He looked for her like that when he opened his eyes?
She could imagine that scene, where he was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. His face was all pale and worried as he searched for her in the midst of others, and he was really so silly.
“That day inside jail, I said that it is nothing much to die, but it was the most scary thing for two hearts to be separated. I can take anything, but when I looked on as you were tortured by the illness time and time again, I realized that I was not as strong as I imagined…”
“I was very afraid. I was afraid the moment I pushed the door, the first thing that I would see would be you lying in the pool of blood with your eyes closed… I was very afraid. I was afraid that I would see Grandpa, Dad, and Mum get older and older, with the white haired people sending the black haired people off. If that day really came, how would you expect them to shoulder all of this? I was more afraid when I saw Older Brother and Xiao Tao coming over, and they were all forcing smiles on their faces. They were obviously sending you on your final journey, but all of them were unable to say anything…
“Slowly, I started to be scared of many things. Those few days, I would have nightmares every night. I was sleeping by your side, but I would wake up frequently to use my index finger to check your breathing…
“It was only until then that I understood, living was the most important thing. When you are alive, only then would there be hope…”
“So you pushed me over to Han Xuan?” Zhou Yao interrupted her.
Leng Zhiyuan turned her head back to look at him, as she said, “Zhou Yao, actually…there is nothing bad about Han Xuan. If you had not met me, you would definitely have gotten together with Han Xuan… Think about it, if I were not here, you were poisoned, and Han Xuan could also save you, you would definitely have accepted her help… Zhou Yao, there is nothing wrong about making do with it. Treat it just as…you have never met me before…”
Zhou Yao’s eyes were staring at her firmly. He stretched his finger out to point at her as he said, “You are totally spouting nonsense right now. Are you me? Why are you so firm that I would get together with Han Xuan eventually? What do you mean by making do? I, Zhou Yao, never settled for these words in my life before!”
After he was done bellowing out at her, Leng Zhiyuan also became silent. She turned around and looked over at the balcony in front of her. Her vision started to blur. She stretched her hand out to cover her mouth and was unwilling to let out a sound as she cried.
It was too late to say anything right now. The ending was already fated to be like this.
