085 “Cherry [Teacher-Student H]” Chapter 84

Zhongyi VS Doubao (Chapter 23)

Zhong Yi leaned against the door, staring at the door opposite and thinking for a long time. After a while, he moved away and knocked on the door.

“Knock knock.”

Zhong Yi calmed down and said tentatively, “Xiao Xi…”

There was still no movement inside.

“Open the door.”

The deathly silence made his heart tighten, and he spoke quickly, “If you don’t open the door in three seconds, I’ll hit you.”

“3…”

“Zi Liu.” The door opened.

A narrow gap was opened on the side of the door, and the man pushed it open. When the door was closed, the little girl was standing behind the door, with her bare feet, her head slightly lowered, and her lips pursed into a thin line. She wore short sleeves in the middle of the autumn night, revealing her smooth little arms. Her neck shrank and her body was shaking violently.

The man sighed helplessly and quickly walked to the bed to take her sweater jacket and kitten slippers.

The coat gently covered her body, and the slippers were thrown to the ground. She said in a low voice, “Put them on.”

Doubao seemed to be unable to hear, and her thin lips turned fresh and blood red when she bit them, and she was secretly choking.

Zhong Yi glanced at her lightly, then squatted down, trying to hold her ankles and guide her to put on her shoes as usual, but the moment he reached out, Doubao dodged like an electric shock and stepped back.

A calm voice came out from his throat, “I’ll do it myself.”

The man straightened up, Doubao had put on his shoes at the speed of light, and kept a distance of one meter vigilantly. His pupils were dark and glowing.

She raised her slender neck and said in a distant tone, “Uncle, you are disturbing my rest…”

The man remained calm and said slowly: “Drive me away.”

“As a man who is about to get married, my uncle is not appropriate to stay alone in my niece’s room…” Doubao said seriously: “You don’t understand the word “avoiding suspicion.”

“Do you still want me to teach you?”

Her questioning voice is sharp and her accent is weird, and every word pierces your heart.

Doubao is a simple person, he always has only two emotions, intertwined with each other.

If you are so excited that you shout, the whole world is bright and beautiful, if you are so angry that you are violent, then you can relieve your anger however you want.

But now, it looks peaceful on the surface, but it’s like a huge wave on the inside. Every word and sound is wrapped in a huge amount of water vapor, and the outlet condenses into ice.

The man frowned, treating her as a child having a temper and refusing to argue with her.

“You’re right, I was negligent…” Zhong Yi nodded and accepted her words, “Get some rest early.”

He turned around sharply, but as soon as he took a step, the little girl behind him grinned like a self-mockery, and the laughter stung his heart.

“You’ve wanted to leave for a long time, haven’t you?”

Zhong Yi heard the pun very clearly. He turned his back to her and did not turn around. After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice: “I’m here…”

“You’re not here…”

Doubao smiled bitterly, and the moisture instantly moistened his eyes.

“You’ve already left…”

Zhong Yi felt a stab in his chest and turned to look at her in a panic. The little girl’s eyes were gray, so hollow that they were almost dull.

Her voice was as light as a feather, floating in the air.

“You gave me a candy, and I liked it very much, so you gave me one every day until I became addicted to my bones. But suddenly one day, you gave the candy that belonged to me to someone else without authorization…”

Those disheartened eyes were clinging to his heart, and after piercing through them with great force, they only left a peculiar rotten smell in the air.

She gave a sad smile, “You never asked me if I wanted to, and you didn’t care if I could bear losing this candy. You only said that this candy is mine, and you have no right to interfere with who I want to give it to.”

Zhong Yi heard her breath hitched, “Xiao Xi…”

“Uncle, when you stood behind her and asked me to apologize to her, did you consider my feelings?”

“You knew she was the person I hated the most, but you still gave her the candy without hesitation.”

There were tears in her eyes, she sniffed, clenched her fists, and stubbornly refused to let them fall.

“She will be your rightful person, what about me?”

She asked and answered herself, “I am the candy wrapper you are so eager to throw away…”

“It’s garbage…” She lowered her head, smiled, and murmured, “Wrapping paper is also garbage…”

Zhong Yi’s scalp was numb from the turbid air in his body. If he wanted to protect her, he had to push her away, but he never thought about the harm this would bring to her.

No matter how calm and composed he was, no matter how strong his self-control was, he could not withstand her despair: “Uncle, I feel bad.”

He was not the only one who suffered so much.

Finally, he couldn’t resist, so he slowly took a step towards her, and Dou Bao took a step back cautiously. It wasn’t until her legs touched the edge of the bed that the two of them stopped fighting secretly.

Zhong Yi stared at the thick long eyelashes trembling under her hair, “What are you hiding from?”

“I hate this…”

Doubao suddenly said, she was tortured to the point of collapse by all kinds of entangled emotions, “I hate my uncle too.”

“I have been very unhappy during this period. I always get angry for no reason. I don’t like myself like this…”

“Every day I feel uneasy and timid about you being hot and cold, and I am afraid that you will suddenly disappear.”

She raised her head, her eyes were dull, and her eyebrows drooped feebly, “Uncle, if you really can’t love me, then stay away from me, okay?”

“I can’t control myself from approaching you, but I’m really… really having a hard time…”

The man’s heart seemed to be bleeding, his face darkened to the point of stiffness, “Xiao Xi…I…”

Doubao looked at him, a ray of light flashed in her dark eyes, she was still looking forward to it.

It was the last wing of light, a glimmer, not bright, but it suddenly ignited her eyes.

The man’s sanity had almost disappeared due to her measured advances and retreats. The light in her eyes burned his chest, so hot that even his breath boiled.

At the moment when he lost his mind, he wanted to hold her in his arms regardless of her, and kiss every inch of her delicate and smooth skin.

But the moment he raised his hand, the phone rang in his trouser pocket.

He stopped, regained his concentration for a while, and mechanically took out his cell phone. When he saw the caller, he glanced at the little girl first, then turned sideways and answered the phone.

“It’s me.”

I don’t know what was said on the other end, Zhong Yi’s expression changed instantly, “I understand, come right over.”

Then, he hung up the phone, and when he looked at her again, his expression was extremely unnatural, and his voice was even worse.

“I have something urgent and I have to go out.”

In just one second, the light in Doubao’s eyes turned completely gray, and no more light source could be found.

Zhong Yi saw it in his eyes and couldn’t bear it, “We’ll talk about it when I get back, okay?”

She didn’t say anything, and her whole body seemed to sink suddenly to the bottom of a pond.

The vibrating sound continued. Zhong Yi turned away, breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around decisively, and walked very quickly. As soon as he opened the door, Doubao called him from behind.

“Brother-in-law.”

He didn’t look back and remained motionless.

Her eyes were tightly locked on the man’s generous back, and her eyes were filled with tears.

“I don’t want that candy anymore…”

She raised her jaw slightly, letting the tears she had held in all night wet her pale face. The big tears fell to the ground, scattering crystal water.

A relieved smile slowly appeared on her lips.

He said softly: “I give up on you.”
