211 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 7, Substitute Lover (22)

All clues point in the same direction.

Since Xue Li could conceal his identity from Chi Yu, why couldn’t Chi Yu conceal it from Xue Li?

The tacit understanding between the two is clearly reflected in this aspect.

Maybe they are not intentional or malicious, but they invisibly make the hidden rift between each other wider and wider, and eventually cannot be healed.

Fate is such a coincidence sometimes, which makes people helpless.

“Why did you suddenly ask that?”

Just when Xue Xue thought that Chi Yu would not answer him, Chi Yu spoke with a faint voice, but Xue Xue could tell from the change in Chi Yu’s gestures on the steering wheel that the man was nervous.

Why are you nervous?Naturally it was because of a guilty conscience.

Xue Xue understands human nature very well, and Chi Yu’s character may be a bit elusive, but the big picture will never change.

In the past, because of Xue Li’s concealment, he put himself in the position of the victim and felt angry at her behavior. It was a sense of betrayal by being deceived, which was enough for Chi Yu to rationalize a series of harmful behaviors he had committed, and to openly forget about the same mistakes he had made.

But things are different now.

After Xue Xue opened her heart to talk to him and expressed her feelings to him in a sincere manner, Chi Yu’s excuses were gone.

What kind of disadvantage Xue Li was in before, Chi Yu is in the same position now.

“Because you seem to know those people, but they are obviously not in the same circle.” Xue Xue said in a joking tone.”A Yu, you always said that I was hiding something from you in the past, but now that I have made it clear to you, it won’t mean that you are hiding something from me, right?”

Hearing this, Chi Yu’s expression did not change at all.

Because of this, Xue Xue can be more certain.

Chi Yu also had something he didn’t confess to Xue Li.

Both men were dishonest in this relationship.

In a stagnant atmosphere, they arrived at their destination.

The antique building is located on the hillside on the outskirts of the city. The sky has completely darkened at this time. A row of traditional paper lanterns hang on both sides of the painted red door, swinging in the evening breeze.

When Xue Xue was about to unbuckle her seat belt and get out of the car, Chi Yu suddenly held her wrist.

Xue Xue turned his head and met Chi Yu’s eyes.

Deep and heavy, like the lake they passed just now, immersed in the night and blending into the night.

Chi Yu was facing the light, and the outline of his facial features was blurred in the flickering shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

Xue Xue waited for what Chi Yu had to say.

If Chi Yu didn’t plan to say anything, then she decided to put the man aside tonight and reflect on it.

With this idea in mind, Xue Xue was not in a hurry. She returned to her position with her arms folded across her chest, as if Chi Yu would not get off the car until he explained clearly.

Chi Yu moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but seemed unable to say anything.

Xue Xue’s patience was being consumed bit by bit.

In this mission, because the client had only one request and the target of the attack was very clear, Xue Xue specifically told the system that he would only come out when the mission was completed.

After all, the system also needs to rest.

Although this is a bit blind, Xue Xue believes in his intuition and judgment. Chi Yu’s favorability has definitely increased, but it is hard to say how much. The key is probably to depend on this time.

Break the secret in Chi Yu’s heart.

Xue Xue had a hunch that this was inextricably related to Chi Yu’s blackening. Of course, the premise was that the direction she had assumed before was correct.

The two of them sat in the car like this, one moving his lips but not speaking, the other thinking too hard not to speak.

Their scheduled time was seven o’clock, and the number now displayed on the dashboard was six-fifty, with less than ten minutes left.

Chi Yu’s cell phone placed on the stand suddenly rang.

After a quick glance, he cut it off.

“Xue Xue…”

Xue Xue glanced at him, and Chi Yu felt his heart tighten.

“I didn’t mean not to tell you.” Chi Yu paused for a moment every time he said a word, obviously considering every word.”I just don’t think it’s necessary because…”

Why?Chi Yu couldn’t think of precise words to describe it for a while, so Xue Xue simply said it for him.

“I understand, just like I did before.” There was no hint of ridicule in the words.”It’s okay. I understand. If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it. There’s no point in trying to force it out.”

Chi Yu realized later that Xue Xue was angry.

This is a very rare thing for Chi Yu. He has no experience in coaxing people, so he can be said to be helpless.

However, Xue Xue didn’t give him another chance. He pushed open the car door and got out of the car. When he closed the door, he even used extra force. The door panel made a loud “touch!”, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

Chi Yu finally knew what it meant to be speechless and unable to argue.

He plucked his hair irritably, saw Xue Xue glare at him and turned around to leave. He immediately got out of the car and chased after her without thinking.

“Xue Xue!”

“Let go!” Xue Xue, whose wrist was clamped again, did not let the man hold her obediently like the first time, but tried to shake it off.”I told you to let go! Chi Yu!”

“Don’t let go!” Chi Yu had a strong premonition that if he let go this time, Xue Xue would fly away from him as lightly as the kite he flew when he was a child.”Listen to me first, Xue Xue, calm down and listen to me first!”

Seeing Xue Xue’s excitement, Chi Yu felt relieved and pulled him into his arms.

After all, there is a gap between the strength of men and women, especially Chi Yu who was determined and locked his arms from his back as tightly as a chain. After Xue Xue struggled once or twice and found that it was useless, he stopped wasting his efforts.

However, even if she calmed down, Chi Yu could still feel how stiff her body was.

He stroked Xue Xue’s back back and forth with his palms.

After a long time, I finally got a response.

“Hmph.”

Although cold, it is better than saying nothing.

“Xue Xue, can you give me a chance first to finish what I said?”

Xue Xue didn’t say yes or no, she just held his collar tightly.

“I’m very happy that you are willing to tell me what’s in your heart. Really, I haven’t been this happy for a long, long time.” Chi Yu thought she acquiesced and said slowly.”As for the others… I am indeed the owner of a coffee shop, and I am indeed a traveler who loves to travel around the world, but rather than saying that is my profession, I would rather describe it as dreams and ideals.”

“It’s just… Xue Xue, I do have other identities. The reason I don’t tell you is just because I’m afraid you won’t be able to accept it, because even I myself did many stupid things when I was young in order to get rid of this identity that shouldn’t belong to me.”
