Capítulo 1140: Chapter 1140: Bound by One’s Own Web
Xia Siyu said, “Hmm, I don’t believe it.”
But Yun Lih’s words were so frank that she had to start facing the issue seriously, “Are you… serious?”
She really didn’t believe Yun Lih would pursue her because it seed unnecessary.
To Xia Siyu, as long as Yun Lih nodded, she would always be the one who threw herself into the chase recklessly.
No matter how many tis she was pushed away, he had a fatal attraction to her.
Yun Lih ruffled her hair, his smile carrying a gentle indulgence, “Whether it’s true or not, you feel it for yourself. There’s no rush to answer; we still have three months.”
Xia Siyu felt she should be happy, but she couldn’t manage a smile at all.
Perhaps she’d been rejected too many tis that she was used to it, and Yun Lih’s sudden change left her mixed with emotions and at a loss.
…
At half past nine in the evening, Xia Siyu and Yun Lih returned to the hotel.
They bid farewell in the elevator, and Xia Siyu fled into her own room.
She closed the door, leaned against it, and clutched her wildly beating heart, unable to calm down for a long ti.
Yun Lih actually ca back to pursue her; he indeed wanted to chase her.
Xia Siyu felt a joy of regaining what was lost, but on the other hand, she worriedly wondered if it was Yun Lih’s prank.
But he shouldn’t be that kind of person.
Xia Siyu dragged her heavy steps to the bed and sat down. The dark and quiet room magnified her thoughts and fears infinitely.
When all the joy subsided, Xia Siyu suddenly realized… Yun Lih had three months left.
If he only had three months left in his life, what was she waiting for?
Waiting for his pursuit or his confession?
That would be too pretentious.
The person she liked didn’t have much ti left; three months to partake in a passionate romance seems worthwhile.
Whether out of compensation or guilt, he’s promised to go to Cloud City with her, hasn’t he?
Xia Siyu suddenly stood up with a sense of urgency to find Yun Lih.
She retrieved her phone from her bag just as she got to the door; the screen glowed weakly.
It was a WeChat ssage.
Yun Lih: Open the door.
He’s here?
Xia Siyu held her breath and tucked her hair behind her ear, slowly opening the door, “Why did you…”
No one was outside.
Peeking into the hallway, she saw the hotel attendant pushing a dining cart not far away, “Miss, this is the late-night snack Mr. Yun ordered for you.”
“Oh, bring it in.”
Xia Siyu stepped aside and opened WeChat to reply to Yun Lih: Why did you order a late-night snack?
Yun Lih: Eat the snack before you drink.
Xia Siyu looked up at the ceiling, how did he know she would drink tonight?
Not long after, the attendant set the table and ntioned a few things to note before leaving the room.
Xia Siyu looked at the delicate Western pastries and appetizers on the table, pursed her lips, and sent another ssage to Yun Lih: Do you want to co and eat together?
The straight man’s reply ca: No need, I don’t eat sweets.
Looking at the chat page with those bold words, Xia Siyu threw down her phone dejectedly, realizing she couldn’t have expectations of him.
That night, the two were in separate rooms within the sa hotel, each drinking alone and each experiencing unusual feelings.
…
The next day, at eight in the morning, Xia Siyu and Yun Lih departed for Cloud City.
Their situation hadn’t changed; it was still a balance between advancing and retreating, but the subtle flow of ambiguity was easily noticeable.
Like when Xia Siyu sneezed while boarding, the two seconds later, a suit jacket was draped over her head, “Wear it.”
Xia Siyu took the jacket off her head, pushed her hair back, “I’m not cold.”
“Should I put it on you?” Yun Lih stood on the gangway with one hand in his pocket, ready to reach out when she continued to hesitate.
Seeing this, Xia Siyu quickly draped the jacket over her shoulders, “No need, no need, I’ll do it myself.”
Yun Lih smiled subtly, but as he turned, he didn’t notice the slight red tint on Xia Siyu’s earlobes.
Can’t take it…
This Yun Lih was practically forcing her to surrender.
Overbearing yet caring, assertive yet not annoying.
Xia Siyu bowed her head and entered the cabin, completely giving up fighting with her own heart.
…
Cloud City.
Xia Siyu and Yun Lih walked out of the cabin, and a business car was already on standby on the tarmac.
Once in the car, the assistant turned to greet Xia Siyu, “Sister Xia, everything’s arranged.”
“Hmm, let’s head straight there.”
Xia Siyu was still wearing Yun Lih’s jacket and began processing company emails non-stop on her phone.
She was busy, and Yun Lih was also occupied; the rcenary Group’s Cloud City branch was already on the agenda.
About forty minutes later, Yun Lih stood under the headquarters building of Huanxia Laboratory, his thick brows slightly furrowing with a bad premonition.
As expected, Xia Siyu finished her last email, got out of the car, and stood beside Yun Lih, “The lab needs to retrieve so samples for research and testing, it won’t take long.”
Yun Lih glanced at her with his hands in his pockets, “Better just be retrieving samples.”
Xia Siyu didn’t think much as they walked side by side into the most confidential biology lab at Huanxia.
Then, within three minutes, Yun Lih was sitting in the blood draw room, looking at Xia Siyu with a blank expression full of resistance.
Oh right, the dignified leader of the rcenary Group, fearless of anything but fainting at needles.
Xia Siyu stood in front of him with a difficult expression and whispered, “The blood test is a necessary procedure.”
At this mont, four big words floated in Yun Lih’s mind, “Caught in one’s own trap.”
He closed his eyes and unconsciously grabbed Xia Siyu’s wrist, “Xiaxia, actually I…”
Seeing his struggle and pain, Xia Siyu instantly felt sympathy, “Oh, forget it, no need for a blood draw, I’ll have them find another research thod, let’s go ho.”
Just as Yun Lih prepared to confess, he was dragged out of the blood draw room by Xia Siyu.
This Xia Siyu made Yun Lih’s heart flutter slightly.
He took her wrist in reverse, leaned down to et her gaze, “My illness isn’t that serious.”
Xia Siyu stared into Yun Lih’s eyes for a long ti before sighing, “Stop comforting , only three months left, how can that not be serious?”
Yun Lih: “…”
He was at a loss for words, his bitter smile tinged with helplessness.
It was all his own doing, now he’s caught in a difficult position.
Yun Lih watched the worried Xia Siyu, his mind shifted, and his warm hand slowly slipped down, soon wrapping hers in his palm, “Three months is enough.”
Xia Siyu’s arm trembled, her gaze lowered to look at their entwined hands, her heartbeat once again unraveled.
At this mont, Yun Lih spoke again, but with a change in tone, “Has Lu Jingan contacted you?”
Xia Siyu focused on their clasped hands, absent-mindedly answering, “He contacted , he invited to dinner.”
Yun Lih raised his thick eyebrows, “Did you agree?”
Xia Siyu looked up, catching Yun Lih’s slightly displeased expression, pursed her lips, and nodded, “He said he had sothing urgent to discuss with .”
