Zhang Zhao hesitated for a mont, then asked, "Sis, what are you going to do later?"
Zhang Xin struck a pose and said, "Why do kids worry about so much? Have you finished morizing your English words?"
Zhang Zhao asked, "Sis, are you going to see your boyfriend? Are you going on a date?"
Zhang Xin looked at him wordlessly, feeling uncomfortable from Zhang Zhao’s sudden closeness. She frowned, "Is this really sothing you should be concerned about? Go back to your room and study!"
Zhang Zhao was reluctant to leave, looking at Zhang Xin with a sowhat vacant expression. It was as if he was speaking to her, yet also as if he was talking to himself: "How can you like him? I’ve never seen you care about anyone so much before. What makes him worth it for you? You even sold your mom’s house..."
Zhang Xin was in a pretty good mood at the ti, rare clarity coming from Zhang Zhao’s voice that brought a bit of warmth to her heart. After all, being cared for was sothing she couldn’t entirely ignore, even though she wasn’t good at getting along with this younger brother and certainly wouldn’t be close with him.
Zhang Xin rolled her eyes, "Did you eavesdrop on talking with Dad?"
Zhang Zhao didn’t deny it, replied in a trembling voice, "Sis, is he worth it for you to do this for him? He’ll hurt you; there’s not a good man among them. You care for him, you trust him, but will he trust you?"
Zhang Xin found it laughable and absurd, waving her hand, "What do you understand? This is between and him, kids shouldn’t worry! Hurry back to your room to study!"
Zhang Zhao turned reluctantly, dragging his feet as he walked away.
As Zhang Zhao turned his back and walked away, a deep-seated gloom he had been desperately suppressing surged rapidly. He tightened his hands at his sides so hard that his fingertips turned slightly bluish-white.
Zhang Xin sat watching TV for a while when her phone rang. It was Qu Chaozong calling. She quickly answered, smiling, "Hey, Chaozi!"
Qu Chaozong’s voice was dull, "I’m at the hotel, the sa one we went to last ti, room 305. Co over."
Zhang Xin drove to the hotel, knocked on the door, and saw Qu Chaozong standing at the entrance, his eyes red, hair a bit disheveled, the whole person looking very grim, as a violent emotion drilled outward from his cold gaze.
Zhang Xin felt a pang in her heart at his expression, hesitated a bit, then followed him into the room and asked, "Chaozi, what’s wrong with you?"
Qu Chaozong was walking towards the bedroom as he spoke to Zhang Xin, "Co here, I have sothing to tell you."
Qu Chaozong’s voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.
Zhang Xin’s impression of Qu Chaozong using such a voice with her was during her first confession, cold, flat, emotionless, with suppressed regret.
Qu Chaozong took two steps forward, turned back when he saw Zhang Xin hadn’t followed and his face darkened further: "Co here!"
Qu Chaozong abruptly raised his voice.
Zhang Xin looked at him puzzled, her gaze scanning his face and body, finally locking eyes with him, they stared each other down, Zhang Xin surrendered and followed him into the bedroom.
The bedroom had only the bedside lamp on, Qu Chaozong hadn’t turned on the main light, he walked to the bed and sat down, staring at Zhang Xin, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
Zhang Xin walked over, didn’t sit, stood opposite Qu Chaozong, broke the silence first by asking, "What do you want to talk to about?"
Qu Chaozong looked into Zhang Xin’s eyes, as if suppressing sothing, he unlocked his phone screen, scrolled a couple of tis, handed it to Zhang Xin, his voice icy and flat: "Look familiar?"
Zhang Xin took the phone, played it, glanced, and her expression changed dramatically.
Qu Chaozong coldly glared at Zhang Xin, "What is this?!!"
Zhang Xin’s face turned as pale as paper, frozen in place, unable to speak.
Qu Chaozong gritted his teeth and growled, "Tell , what the hell is this?"
Zhang Xin’s mind went blank, she couldn’t quite recall when this was taken, she frantically said, "I, I... Chaozi, let explain."
Qu Chaozong was already quite emotional, his gaze becoming terrifying: "Explain? Zhang Xin, what the hell did you promise back then?"
Qu Chaozong took several deep breaths, barely holding back the sour feeling rushing up his nose: "I’ve always known your private life was quite chaotic in the past, but you chased for so long, I was moved by you, I thought everyone has a bit of a wild past, as long as you can change, I’m willing to forgive you, I was even willing to marry you, to be good to you... If this thing happened after you were with , then Zhang Xin, you’re really disgusting, completely disgusting."
Qu Chaozong felt heartbroken by his own words, reflecting on the past two years of Zhang Xin’s persistence chasing after him, through fights, drama, refusals, persistence, in retrospect how hard it was for their relationship to finally truly co together, starting a happy sweet romance.
And what happens then? It turns out Zhang Xin possibly never took him seriously, it was just a ga, when he took it seriously, invested in it, she found it boring, and could just leave without hesitation.
This thought propelled Qu Chaozong’s frenzied emotion to a new height, he gritted his teeth and said, "If, if you dare betray , I won’t let you off!!"
Qu Chaozong felt his heart bleeding over the matter as he spoke to Zhang Xin, feeling like his dignity was ground to dust, only intense heart pain remained: "Zhang Xin, do you really owe this?"
Zhang Xin’s face was livid, tremblingly said, "Chaozi, ever since I started liking you, I’ve never been involved with anyone else! Really! You have to trust !"
"I trust you, I want to trust you! Then tell , what’s going on with this thing? What the hell is it?" Qu Chaozong was completely unable to control his boiling emotions, he hadn’t lost control like this in years.
Qu Chaozong’s face was as ugly as it could get, he gritted his teeth, "Then say it! Explain it! What the hell is this? Who did you film with? What the hell have you been doing behind my back?!"
Zhang Xin’s whole heart was about to burst with bitterness, she lunged at Qu Chaozong, trying to hold him: "Chaozi, listen to , this video, I really don’t rember when it was taken, I, after I got involved with you, I broke it off completely with them, the one I love, is only you, you have to trust !"
Qu Chaozong irritably pushed her away.
Zhang Xin clung tight around his neck, refusing to let go, passionately said, "Chaozi! I beg you this once! Trust ! Please! I really haven’t lied to you!!"
Qu Chaozong glared at her furiously, already filled with disappointnt and anger, if Zhang Xin couldn’t clean up those rotten people and matters from before, they simply couldn’t have a peaceful and steady relationship.
