Guan Lei had no choice but to take out his drone and write what he wanted to say on a piece of paper. Then, he let the drone fly to Shen Xi’s balcony with his words.
Seeing that Shen Xi did not open the door, Guan Lei could only control the drone and gently knock on the gla.s.s door.
Shen Hui, who was about to reach the main entrance, suddenly looked up and asked the people beside him in confusion, “Did you hear anything?” Lu De listened attentively for a while before shaking his head. “No, I didn’t.” Only then did Shen Hui retract his gaze and the group went home.
Shen Xi grabbed Guan Lei’s drone and said to Guan Lei on the other end of the phone, “Guan Lei, you actually let your drone hit my gla.s.s door. Can you afford to pay for it?”
“If I can’t afford it, I’ll compensate you with myself.” Guan Lei said seriously. If Xi was willing to make him pay with his life, he would be absolutely willing.
“You’re worthless, I don’t want you.” Shen Xi joked.
Guan Lei listened to Shen Xi’s joking tone and instantly felt a little relieved. He asked nervously, “Xi, are you not angry anymore? That blind date has nothing to do with me.’
“l know. I knew it had nothing to do with you the moment I heard it.” Shen Xi said while lying on the bed.
Guan Lei was stunned. He had always been afraid that Shen Xi would misunderstand, but Shen Xi actually said that she had always known that it had nothing to do with him. He asked in confusion, “How did you know?”
Shen Xi sat up straight and sighed, “Because I know you. You won’t do such a thing, and I believe you.”
Guan Lei’s heart trembled. A feeling of regret was like a ten-foot-high wave that hit his ears and buzzed. There were all kinds of questions in his heart. Shen Xi understood him and believed him. What about him? Did he understand and trust Shen Xi?
Guan Lei questioned himself. Why would he believe that Shen Xi had agreed to date him while liking Meng Yu?
With his understanding of Shen Xi, Shen Xi would not do such a thing.
Then why was he so muddleheaded four years ago that he stubbornly believed that Shen Xi was the kind of woman who would agree to date someone else even though she clearly had someone in her heart?
Was it because he did not understand Shen Xi’s character well enough, or because he did not trust Shen Xi?
So after they reunited, Shen Xi was not willing to accept him again. Was it because he did not realize his mistake?
He subconsciously pursed his lips and said, “Xi, 1 1 m sorry.”
“Why are you suddenly apologizing?” Shen Xi asked.
Guan Lei was silent for a while, then said with difficulty, “I’m sorry for what happened four years ago. Xi, 1 1 m sorry. I should have believed you four years ago. I actually doubted your character. I’m sorry.”
Shen Xi was very pleased that Guan Lei had finally understood a little.
“Guan Lei, you shouldn’t doubt my promise to you.” Shen Xi said. “Have you forgotten that I only agreed to be with you after I found out about Meng Yu’s existence? Since I only agreed to be with you after I found Meng Yu, it proves that in my heart, I like you more than Meng Yue But you only followed your thoughts and made up a lover for me without listening to my explanation.” Guan Lei’s eyes were red as he said, “I’m sorry, Xi. I know I was wrong.”
Guan Lei didn’t just know that he was wrong. He even felt that he was an idiot.
“Guan Lei, do you remember the first time we had hotpot in this villa?” Shen Xi suddenly asked.
“l remember,” Guan Lei said with tears in his eyes, “we went to the market and got ripped off. Your parents laughed for a long time.”
Shen Xi couldn’t help but laugh when she thought of how excited the two of them were and how they thought they were good at saving money.
“Then do you remember what we talked about at that time?” Shen Xi continued. “I said, Guan Lei, if you abandon me in the future, I will never see you again, remember?”
When Guan Lei heard Shen Xi say such words, he instantly broke down. Shen Xi saying such words at this time, did it mean that the two of them were completely finished?
His heart seemed to have split into a bottomless pit in an instant. He fell into it, but he could not touch the ground no matter how hard he tried. He was fl.u.s.tered and nervous, and there was also a tearing pain.
“Xi, don’t…” Guan Lei didn’t know how to salvage the situation, so he could only voice out the most primitive expectation in his heart.
“Guan Lei, I’ll give you one last chance. Listen well, I’ll say it, you’re in my heart! I like you! I love you! There has never been anyone else. This time, do you hear me clearly?”
Shen Xi coldly said a confession that was enough to make Guan Lei boil..
