Li Weixi and the other two sat there in silence. An hour later, Lin Yi arrived home.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Weixi's hand trembled and a few drops of juice spilled onto the coffee table.
The Thirteenth Master lowered his eyes and glanced at the drop of juice.
Lin Yi walked up to the three of them, threw his briefcase on the sofa and stared at Chi Zhihan coldly.
Chi Zhihan quietly glanced at Li Weixi and moved to the side to make space.
Lin Yi walked over and sat down without saying a word, which made Li Weixi even more nervous. She did not know how the man would treat her.
Amidst the silence, it was Master 13 who spoke first, "Lin Zi, we have some clues about what happened that year. We've found the hospital and I've asked someone to book the tickets. Shall we go there?"
"Mm." Lin Yi nodded. "You can leave first."
"Okay, I'll leave first." The Thirteenth Master stood up, pinched Lin Yi's shoulder and pulled Chi Zhihan up. He gave her a look.
Chi Zhihan seemed to be resisting, so the Thirteenth Master whispered in her ear, "Let's go. Lin Yi won't do anything to her. He will be angrier if we stay here."
After hesitating for a moment, Chi Zhihan glanced at Li Weixi, who had her head lowered, and followed the Thirteenth Master out.
As soon as they left, only Lin Yi and Li Weixi were left in the living room.
Li Weixi breathed softly because she was afraid of the man beside her, and her hands were trembling.
Suddenly, her hands were held by someone. The warmth of the man's palm enveloped her hands.
"Do I scare you that much?" Lin Yi asked. "Why do you have to run away from me?"
Li Weixi's eyelashes fluttered and her eyes turned misty. "I saw the news that day. You said that you're getting married."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows. "So, you think I'll marry someone else?"
Li Weixi nodded.
Lin Yi was so angry that he laughed. "How can you tell? Do you see any other women around me? Or did my Lin Clan send someone to warn you? "
Li Weixi pursed her lips and didn't say anything. In fact, she should have known all this, but she just couldn't accept it.
She had a lot of time to carefully think about this matter, but every time, she didn't dare to think too much about it. She was afraid that her heart would soften and she wouldn't be able to leave. She was also afraid that she would be happy for nothing. She really didn't want to experience that kind of pain again.
Even when she heard these words from Lin Yi's mouth just now, she still didn't quite believe it and was still afraid.
After living with this girl for so long, Lin Yi knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.
Lin Yi tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said softly, "So, what are you afraid of? During this period of time, I thought that you would be able to understand my feelings and attitude towards you because of what I've done. In the end, I heard from The Thirteenth Master today that you're going to run away. "
"Li Weixi, what do you want me to do for you to believe me?"
Li Weixi was also very upset. She didn't know how to answer this question and could only say in a fit of pique, "You keep asking me to believe you, but you're helping the person I hate the most behind my back. I was so sad before, but I didn't see you do anything. Now you're asking me how I can believe you. How would I know?"
Lin Yi's throat moved slightly and he felt a little choked up. "So, it's because of her?"
Li Weixi pursed her lips and didn't answer because she didn't know why either. Perhaps it was because of all the pain she had accumulated over a long period of time that made her unwilling to believe it.
Lin Yi stared seriously into the girl's eyes for a long time. Even though she didn't say anything, he suddenly seemed to understand something.
He laughed self-deprecatingly. "I know. I'll think of a way to deal with Xu Shaohua. As for the rest, we'll talk about it in the future."
"In the future?"
"If you can tell me the reason now, why don't you tell me?"
Li Weixi closed her mouth.
Lin Yi sighed softly. The anger he had accumulated along the way had completely dissipated because of the girl's careful behavior.
He rubbed the girl's hair. "You haven't eaten yet, right? Are you hungry?"
Li Weixi shook her head. She felt a lump in her throat.
Lin Yi was still saying, "I've already bought the tickets for the movie you want to watch. Xiao Qi will deliver the tickets tonight. I've asked him to buy two tickets for all the shows that day. You can choose whichever one you want."
"En." Li Weixi replied in a muffled voice as tears welled up in his eyes.
Along the way, she thought that Lin Yi would get angry, scold her, imprison her, or even beat her. But now that they were really face to face, Lin Yi didn't do anything excessive except for the unpleasant tone when he asked her questions at the beginning.
She was prepared to be scolded and treated violently, but she wasn't prepared for this. All of a sudden, an inexplicable emotion swelled in her heart, making her feel terrible, as if she had done something wrong.
The man pulled her into his arms and suddenly laughed. "It seems that you still know that you're wrong. You're not hopeless. Let's just treat this as a bygones. In the future, I hope that you can tell me directly if you have anything to say. I won't hide anything from you."
Li Weixi nodded and didn't dare say anything. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help crying if she spoke.
"Aunt Lin hasn't made dinner yet. I'll take you back to your room to rest first." Lin Yi then carried her upstairs and carried her to her room.
Listening to the steady heartbeat in the man's chest, Li Weixi's flustered heart finally found a place to settle down, making her feel a little more at ease. However, the guilt that followed made her not dare to look at the man in front of her.
Lin Yi put her under the blanket. "Lie down first. Don't think about anything else."
Li Weixi nodded and covered herself with the blanket.
Lin Yi touched her head through the quilt, and his expression became extremely complicated in an instant.
He covered the girl's feet and walked out of the room. After telling Aunt Lin to make dinner, he went to the study to call Lu Luan.
Ever since he found out that the plan had failed, Lu Luan knew that he would call him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He thought that Lin Yi would still be confronting Li Weixi.
Lu Luan picked up the phone and said, "Lin Shao is fast. You didn't have to call me, did you?"
Lin Yi-leng smiled. "That's not the only thing you've done recently, right?"
"Oh? What is Lin Shao referring to? "
"Xu Shaohua."
