"Don't be afraid."
In the dark night, Xiao Zheng gently pressed down on the trembling Sophia. He said softly, "It's me."
It's me.
Who would only use the words "It's me" in front of Sophia to identify themselves? Sophia was mute, but she was not deaf. She could forget the voice of her favorite singer, but she would never forget Xiao Zheng's voice. Even if she could never see his voice again in her next life.
"Click."
Sophia reached out to turn on the light and looked at Xiao Zheng with misty eyes. The corners of her lips twitched as if she wanted to speak, but she could not even utter the simplest syllable. Soon, her expression became complicated and gloomy.
Even a woman like Tina, who wandered between darkness and death, would mind her own voice and speak as little as possible. Moreover, Sophia had completely lost her voice and became mute.
No matter how good her mental fortitude was, how could she relieve the depression in her heart?
Xiao Zheng saw the twitching at the corners of Sophia's lips and asked softly, "What do you want to say?"
What did she want to say?
She wanted to say a lot, but she could not utter a single word.
There was a neat stack of white paper and an exquisite fountain pen beside the bed. She turned around to take the white paper and the fountain pen and scribbled a line of words.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Zheng saw the English words on the white paper. He said honestly, "It was Ruth who informed me."
Sophia did not even raise her head when she got the answer. She quickly wrote another line, "I'm fine. Don't worry. "
Worry about what?
Sophia did not say it clearly. Because she did not know how much Xiao Zheng knew.
"Do you need to drink to sleep every day if you're fine?" Xiao Zheng said with a pained expression as he glanced at the empty wine bottles on the table. "Would you rest so early if you're fine? I remember that you usually don't rest until the wee hours of the morning. And it's not even eleven o 'clock right now. "
Sophia listened to Xiao Zheng's narration. She brought over a second piece of white paper and scribbled a line of words, "Oh, right. Have you arranged a place to stay? Do you want to stay here? "
"I already have a place to stay," Xiao Zheng nodded lightly and said softly. "Don't worry about me. I'm here to solve your problem. "
Sofia's gaze was complicated, and she tried her best to control her emotions. She wrote a line of words on the paper and handed it to Xiao Zheng. "I'm fine." The Phantom series was also progressing very successfully. Every month, there was an increase in the sales volume.
Didn't Ruth and Nika say she didn't care about anything? Even so, she still cared about the Phantom series. Why? Was it because of the profit that she didn't care about?
Xiao Zheng held Sofia's ice-cold hands and shook his head, "Don't write anymore. I understand what you want to say. I don't need you to answer any of my questions. I only came to tell you. No matter who bullied you. I won't let him succeed. "
Sofia's expression was slightly stiff, but she slowly freed her hands and continued to write on the paper.
It was a very short sentence. It could be translated into three words: I don't deserve it.
Why wasn't she worthy?
How was she unworthy?
Xiao Zheng's eyes were a little teary. She could vaguely see some signals from Sophia's eyes. She didn't deserve it. She had become a mute, and she could only communicate with pen and paper. She didn't deserve the brave and outstanding Xiao Zheng.
Perhaps in the past, she still had the mental strength to compete with Lin Huayin. But now, she chose to quit. Not for anything else. Just because she couldn't even say "I love you" to Xiao Zheng. It had become an extravagant wish. It had become impossible.
What right did she have to pester him and stay by his side?
Xiao Zheng angrily tore the white paper to shreds after seeing these three extremely glaring words. He stared at Xiao Zheng with a burning gaze and shouted, "Without you, I might have already died in Tokyo! You don't deserve it? Why don't you deserve it? Just because you can't speak? Even if you can't speak for the rest of your life. Even if you can't speak for the rest of your life, you definitely deserve it! "
She was so intelligent. She was so outstanding. Before she knew him, she was the number one socialite in New York, the brightest star of the younger generation. Even the little demon Donnie was full of admiration when he mentioned this big sister.
Why did she look down on him?
Why didn't she let him help her?
When he was in trouble, didn't she stand up for him without hesitation?
"Sophia, let me tell you! You saved my life! Your life was also saved by me! Pull yourself together and be a strong woman! I'm not even afraid of death. Will I be defeated by a mere loss of my voice? "Xiao Zheng said word by word.
Sophia was silent. Her face was slightly drooping, and her delicate body was trembling.
She was so confused and conflicted.
She had been the knife for him. She had lost the chance to speak for him. But she didn't regret it at all. A woman, in a woman's life, had the courage to give up everything for a man without any complaints or regrets. Wasn't that a happy thing in itself?
Now, she just wanted to hide in a corner quietly, far away from him, and live the life that she could live, the only life that she could live. She didn't want to think about anything else, and she didn't dare to think about it.
What right did a mute have to let her imagination run wild?
But she never expected that Xiao Zheng, who had a bunch of outstanding women by his side, a bunch of women who weren't inferior to her, would actually say such things to her. She had always thought that Xiao Zheng couldn't accept her, and even rejected her.
She had always thought that deep in his heart, Xiao Zheng couldn't accept her, and even rejected her.
One had to know that she had used Xiao Zheng more than once for the sake of her own benefits. Even though she was confident, even though she knew that nothing would happen to Xiao Zheng. But using him was using him. This was an unchangeable fact. What right did she have to ask Xiao Zheng to do anything for her?
But —
"Show me the ability that you used to make use of me," Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice. "Show me the courage that you used to kill Jones. Last time, we were able to defeat Jones together. This time, why would we be afraid of a mere Skeleton Corps? "
Pausing for a moment, Xiao Zheng stared straight at Sophia. Suddenly, he changed the topic and said, "I'm hungry. Let's go downstairs and have some supper with me. "
After saying that, he carried Sofia, who was wearing a thin nightgown, by her waist. Her skin was smooth to the touch, and an alluring fragrance assaulted his nostrils.
In the process of hugging, Xiao Zheng pinched Sofia's soft waist with his left hand and laughed, "How bouncy!"
Sophia was caught off guard by this sudden touch. Her face turned red, and she did not dare to look at Xiao Zheng's unbridled gaze. Like a shy golden cat, she curled up in Xiao Zheng's arms, unable to move.
Seeing Sofia like this, Xiao Zheng said coquettishly, "After we eat and drink our fill, we will go to the Heavenly Palace. Why not go upstairs and have a friendly match? It's not an exaggeration to say that before I came to New York, I've been suppressing my anger. "
