I Am Rich

23

Of course she didn't want to eat crawfish, she simply just wanted to see him.

After this unexpected mistake, she realized that she had such strong feelings for him. 

Now that he has no one in his heart is a good thing for her. She was overjoyed and just wanted to spend more time with him. But... What should she do next? She didn't want him to just treat her as a younger sister.

After thinking for a while, Guan Zhiyi took out her phone and sent a message to Hua Hongxi: [I want to tell everyone that we were just acting before, and that it's not real.]

Hua Hong Xi replied quickly: [Wait! Don't be impulsive!]

When he replied to this message, Hua Hongxi was actually already escaping in stealth far away. He said he was chased and scolded by his family for 'breaking up', and now he didn't even dare to return home. He was so miserable and lonely.

So in such a situation, as a comrade-in-arms, she must by all means take it easy first. When the limelight had passed, It’s not too late to talk about this "seeking for more beating matter"

Guan Zhiyi felt funny and helpless looking at his miserable appearance.

[Then I'll only tell Brother Cheng Yan, okay?]

[No way! He's going to come after me!]

[No, I promise. I'll tell him that I forced you to keep it a secret!]

Hua Hongxi paused for a while, and a few minutes later suddenly replied: [You have always said that you want to end our relationship, so I guessed that you have someone that you like…]

Guan Zhiyi froze, and immediately said: [Don't you think blindly, okay? I just don't want to lie to him.]

Hua Hongxi: [You understand me clearly, did I say anything?]

Guan Zhiyi: [......]

Hua Hongxi: [Zhiyi, You can't be, right? You like brother? 】

It's late at night, but many people's lives have just started. KTV, bars, night markets...people come and go.

When Qi Chengyan finished dealing with things, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. After he got in his car, the assistant asked whether he should drive to the Imperial Palace. Qi Chengyan pressed his eyebrows and nodded subconsciously.

The assistant started the car and drove it out of the company.

"Wait."

The assistant glanced at him from the rearview mirror, and saw Qi Chengyan suddenly say: "Go to Chenguan Road."

"Do you have other matters?"

Qi Chengyan thought of the little girl at home who was waiting to be fed, and smiled: "I almost forgot to bring the task."

"Ah?"

"You drive to the crayfish shop on Chenguan Road to buy crayfish."

The assistant was slightly stunned, crayfish?

"President Qi, I remember you don't eat these."

"Someone wants to eat it."

After taking another look in the rearview mirror, the assistant had a vague guess:"Then, after buying it, you're not going back to Imperial Palace, instead you'll go to Xinghe Bay, right?"

"Mm."

Xinghe Bay is the address of the villa where Miss Guan is currently staying. Sure enough, the one who can make his boss make a special trip was also this person ......

Guan Zhiyi went to bed quite early recently, but she lied to Qi Chengyan today. 

She has been waiting for him to come back.After waiting for a long time, when she thought that he might be really busy and didn't have time to come here, she finally heard a noise from outside. Her mood lifted and she immediately sat up.

A few minutes later, she saw Qi Chengyan entering the door.

"Brother, you are back!"

Qi Chengyan carried the food and walked over, jokingly said, "Your eyes are glowing, if this bag is opened, are you going to drool?"

This glow is because of the person and definitely not because of the food.

Guan Zhiyi smiled and said, "I will control it."

Qi Chengyan glanced at her and sat down to unpack the food, "Don't eat too much, be careful you can't fall asleep later."

"Um!"

When the crayfish box was opened, the aroma was flowing all over the place.

"I bought two flavors, you try to see which one tastes good." Qi Chengyan opened the disposable gloves for her.

Guan Zhiyi mumbled and started to pick the shells, while doing so, she was wondering about how to start with her and Hua Hongxi matter.

"Don't you want to eat?" After eating one, she found that Qi Chengyan hadn't moved.

Qi Chengyan: "It's fine you can eat it."

"Then you watch me eat."

"Ah, should I watch you eating till you can't eat anymore?"

"Then won't I feel embarrassed."

Qi Chengyan laughed a little: "How come I didn't know that you were so thin-skinned."

"I've always been quite thin-skinned ......"

Qi Chengyan patted her head and took out his mobile phone: "Okay, eat quickly, I won't look at you."

Guan Zhiyi said oh, then lowered her eyes to continue with the crayfish.

Pull--

With one force, the soup flew over a small distance and at last fell onto Qi Chengyan's sleeve.

"......"

"............"

Guan Zhiyi was stunned for a few seconds, immediately leaned forward to pull a tissue: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll wipe it!"

Qi Chengyan looked at the little stain on his sleeve, then looked at the messily peeled crawfish on Guan Zhiyi's fingertips,"You don’t seem to be good at eating it."

Guan Zhiyi was focused on his sleeve: "Wipe it first."

"No need, it can't be wiped off." Qi Chengyan did not care about it at all, he slowly took out a pair of gloves from the bag and put them on, said helplessly,"You don't have to peel them. I'll do it."

Guan Zhiyi blinked her eyes: "Do you know how to do it?"

Qi Chengyan raised his eyes and glanced at her: "It's definitely better than you."

"……Oh."

Qi Chengyan didn't often eat crawfish, but peeling them was still a simple task. So he peeled a few of them and put them in front of her.

Guan Zhiyi thought at the beginning that she could eat less because it was too much trouble to do it, but who would have thought that she could eat the ready-made one now. So she happily watched Qi Chengyan peeling the crawfish while throwing them into her mouth one by one.

After eating for some time, she almost forgot about the Hua Hongxi matter.

"Hiss, so spicy ......"

"Do you still want to eat more?"

Guan Zhiyi shook her head: " No, I'm full."

"Would you like some water?"

"Yes."

Qi Chengyan indulged her, got up and went to the kitchen to pour some water. Guan Zhiyi took off her gloves then wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue, "With ice ah."

In the end, Qi Chengyan returned bringing warm water.

Guan Zhiyi whispered: "It's not with ice…"

As soon as she finished speaking, he patted her forehead: "It's already late at night, why do you still want to drink ice." 

"..."

"Allright, You go back to bed after eating. Where's Auntie?"

"Oh, don't I have to wait for supper today? So they all went to rest, they didn't wait for me to sleep."

Qi Chengyan: "Then you get up, I'll send you back to your room."

"Wait!"

"What's the matter now?"

After she finished eating and drinking, she still had to say what she wanted to say.

"I have something to say!"

"What is it?"

"Brother, that, actually ...... actually Hua Hongxi doesn't like me at all."

Qi Chengyan froze, thinking that she still couldn't get over this hurdle. He originally thought she was so happy today because she already put the previous matter behind.

He could only comfort her: "Xiao Wu, you will meet a better one in the future."

Guan Zhiyi: "I don't like him at all either."

Qi Chengyan felt even more distressed when he heard this. He thought, When has his little girl ever treated other people this way. Yesterday, she cried so much, and now she wanted to benumbed herself with "I don't like him anymore".

"You are right to think like that, since the other party does not really like you, you shouldn't be thinking about him anymore."

"No, no, I mean, we really don't like each other, there were no feelings at all!“

Qi Chengyan paused, obviously somewhat unsure of what she was talking about.

Guan Zhiyi carefully observed his expression and continued: "I'm sorry, in fact, I lied to you. Before I was only...... pretending to be together with Hua Hongxi."

"What did you say?"

Guan Zhiyi pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, "I said, it's a lie that I'm in a relationship with him, we're just acting in front of everyone because we don't want to be forced by our families to go on a blind date."

Qi Chengyan was stunned for a few seconds, his eyes went from puzzled to shocked, and from shocked to annoyed: "Guan Zhiyi."

"No, no, no, don't be angry, we really have no other choice. Actually, I didn't want to hide it from you at first, but Hua Hongxi said that if you know, you will definitely won't allow it. so I did not tell you......" Her voice became more weak afterwards, Guan Zhiyi pulled his sleeve and shook it: "You, you don't get angry ah. "

Qi Chengyan stared at her, his face was cold for a moment, "I never thought that you would deceive people with this kind of thing. Do you know how worried your brother and I were when we thought that you broke up?"

Guan Zhiyi lowered her head and muttered: "I know I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong…"

"You-" Qi Chengyan looked at her pitiful expression, he wanted to scold her, but he really couldn't bring himself to do so. In the end, he could only say coldly, "You are really good."

"No, it's nothing good... Don't be angry…"Guan Zhiyi said while holding his sleeve, did not dare to let go, afraid that he would turn away in anger.

"Wait, you said it was fake, then what did you cry about yesterday?" Qi Chengyan suddenly remembered.

Guan Zhiyi was stunned: "Ah, ah?"

Qi Chengyan narrowed his eyes: "Yesterday you cried so sadly, it doesn't look like it was fake."

Guan Zhiyi stared at his questioning eyes, her heart tightened, even if she could tell him now that she and Hua Hongxi were in a fake relationship, but she can't honestly say that the reason she cried yesterday was because of him…

At least now was not the time to say that she liked him yet.

"I... I'm acting."

Qi Chengyan felt a bit unimaginable**: "What?"

(**It refers to bizarre and weird actions, which is not what most people can imagine based on normal circumstances.)

"I'm acting! After Hua Hongxi told me about the incident, I thought I should express a little bit about the breakup, so, so I cried…"

Acting? How come, yesterday he felt that she was really sad ......

No, of course he can feel it.

Because this little kid is not an ordinary person, she is an actor ah. How real her crying scene looked, didn't he already see it himself before?

When Qi Chengyan thought of this, he became more irritated:"Since you even cry to lie to me, why are you telling me the truth now?"

"I've thought about it, and I still think it's better not to lie to you ......" Guan Zhiyi tilted her head and looked at him, begging, "Brother, I only tell you alone, you, you must not tell the elders, or else I will be dragged to a blind date again. You can understand me, right? You know how uncomfortable it is to be arranged."

Qi Chengyan remembered what mess his family made with Miss Yang, coldly grunted: "...... I really do not know what to say about you."

"Then don't say it! I swear! I definitely won't lie to you next time!"

Actually Qi Chengyan still felt angry in his heart, however when he thought about the fact that she hadn't actually had her heart broken by anyone, he was somewhat glad.

In the end, it was better that she was just acting than really being dumped.

"There is a next time?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"Remember what you said yourself."

"Mmm! I will definitely remember it!"

Qi Chengyan helplessly shook his head: "If your brother knows he probably will also be angry with you."

"...... So don't tell him yet."

"I know." Qi Chengyan pressed his eyebrows, "It's already very late today, let's go back to rest first."

"Mm!"

Qi Chengyan helped Guan Zhiyi get up, "Where's your crutches."

"I don't know how to use it. Auntie usually carried me upstairs." Guan Zhiyi looked at him, her mind struck an opportunity and said directly,"Brother, you carry me today."

Qi Chengyan glared at her, "You've just deceived me and you're going to make me do hard labor?"

"It's not hard labor, I'm not heavy at all." Guan Zhiyi grabbed his arm, "Hurry up, hurry up, I can't stand still--"

Seeing that she was really swaying, Qi Chengyan immediately reached out to support her.

Guan Zhiyi seized this moment, quickly throwing herself on top of his shoulder.

Qi Chengyan paused: "Guan Xiaowu, your brother is right, you are quite courageous."

Even though he said that, he turned his back and bent down.

Guan Zhiyi smiled and leaned on his back: "I'm not... didn't you also carry me before."

Qi Chengyan carried her on his back and carefully walked towards the stairway:"I used to do it in the past, are you still a kid now."

"I'm not."

"It's good that you know."

_____

They said it like this, but the weight behind Qi Chengyan was indeed no different from that of a kid.

The road upstairs was not long, Guan Zhiyi lay on his shoulder, only thinking about whether he can walk a little slower, a little more slower. This way, she can stay with him a little longer.

"Brother, I think you are very good…"

The corner of Qi Chengyan's mouth twitched slightly: "Do you think praising me like this can right away make up for anything."

"No, just simply complimenting you, I just think that you are especially good." Guan Zhiyi tightened her arms around him, her voice was muffled down, "So, are you this good to everyone."

She was almost pressed against him, and when she spoke, her breath was on his neck, with an itchy heat.

Qi Chengyan's footsteps slightly stalled and tilted his head unconsciously: "Why do you ask that?"

Guan Zhiyi whispered: "Just think that many people will find you very good, but ah...I don't want so many people to find out."

Qi Chengyan was stunned for a moment: "...What kind of messy silly things to say."

"It's not a silly words…"

She really thought like that, thinking of taking him for herself, thinking that in his eyes, she would always be the only one.

A few minutes later, Qi Chengyan brought her back to her room, after he put her on the bed, he carried and tucked her under the quilt: "Go to bed early."

"Okay."

He went out and closed the door behind him. Guan Zhiyi looked at the closed door and suddenly smiled.

Then, she got off the bed with one foot, took the double crutches on the side, hummed a little song and went to the bathroom.

She is not a fool, after so many days, how can she not know how to use the crutches?
