CHAPTER 217 (1/2)

Collapsing 11 Boundaries 5

Jiang Xie’s senses returned and there was some tension in his eyes. Fortunately, Xie Xi didn’t wake up. He just changed directions and continued sleeping.

Jiang Xie struggled to calm his heartbeat. Once it completely calmed down, he whispered, “Mr. Xie.”

Xie Xi slept soundly.

Jiang Xie’s voice became slightly hoarser as he called out, “Xie Xi.”

He didn’t know why but just calling this person’s name filled him with an inexplicable trembling that started from his back to the tip of his hair.

The wonderful thing was that Xie Xi opened his eyes. Jiang Xie’s heart hardened.

Xie Xi’s eyes were blurry. Once he saw Jiang Xie, he spoke with some chagrin. “Oh, look at me. I only drank that much and actually fell asleep.”

Jiang Xie steadied himself with effort. “You are too tired.”

Xie Xi pinched his brow. “I’ve been very busy recently.”

Jiang Xie’s heart moved. “If you are busy, why did you come out to watch the game?”

Xie Xi laughed. “After socializing for a week, I have to find a way to reward myself.”

It was a reward to watch the ball game with Jiang Xie? He wasn’t a social engagement but a way to relax?

These casual words were more exciting than any sweet talk. This was the defenseless Jiang Xie. How could his heart not be warm?

Xie Xi untied the seat belt and got out of the car. “It is late. I’ll have someone send you back.”

Jiang Xie also got off the car, trying to let his eyes always remain on this person. “Okay.”

On the way back, the corners of Jiang Xie’s mouth couldn’t be suppressed. He thought about the kiss just now and his heart was soft.

An unimaginable beauty. In addition, this beauty was only the tip of the iceberg.

Jiang Xie closed his eyes and couldn’t escape. He liked Xie Xi. Not as a friend but in a love-related way that went against secular ethics.

He was calm after coming to this conclusion. He wanted to be with Xie Xi and wanted to have this person.

Xie Xi watched this memory of the firm and loving teenage Jiang Xie and couldn’t help playing it again.

Sure enough, no matter how young and naive, this man was like this. Once he recognized the goal, he would go all out. He wasn’t timid but was confident and determined.

After watching it three times, Xie Xi shook his head and laughed. He still thought that Jiang Xie was too silly.

In the memories, the two people had more frequent contact. In the past, Jiang Xie was very resistant to a variety of entertainment since he would have to wear women’s clothing. Now he was looking forward to it.

He didn’t know if Xie Xi would go but he couldn’t hide his happiness if they met.

Xie Xi also protected him everywhere, trying to let him talk less and not become too tangled up with someone else. He was very diligent as the ‘flower protector.’

Occasionally, they would sneak out to talk on the balcony. They chatted for a while in this empty place, in the night where they couldn’t see the stars.

Xie Xi didn’t make any moves but he never refused Jiang Xie’s invitation. They talked happily every time, feeling a moment of ease and comfort in this hypocritical entertainment.

Nearly one month later, Jiang Xie raised the courage to invite Xie Xi. He didn’t send a message because he felt it wasn’t formal enough. Therefore, he made a phone call.

Xie Xi accepted the call after a while. He lowered his voice and wondered, “Xiao Xie?”

Jiang Xie vaguely heard voices on the other end of the line. “Is it inconvenient right now?”

Xie Xi gradually moved away from the other voices and his own volume increased. “I’m in a meeting. There has been no result for an hour.”

Jiang Xie felt chagrin. “I disturbed your work.”

“No.” Xie Xi’s tone was relaxed. “I’ve heard enough.”

Jiang Xie’s lips slightly curved and his heart was filled with sweetness. “Then do you want to go out for some air?”

“Okay, eat together at noon? I will arrange the place.”

“No,” Jiang Xie refused. “I have booked a table. You can come over directly.”

He really wanted to pick up Xie Xi but this was too eye-catching.

Xie Xi requested, “Where is the reservation? I will go now.”

Jiang Xie laughed. “It is only 10 in the morning. Wait another hour.”

Xie Xi also laughed. “Look at me being this anxious. It must be because you think too little of me.”

Jiang Xie’s heart jumped wildly and his throat was dry. “I will take note of Mr. Xie’s words and regularly meet you in the future.”

Xie Xi’s voice through the microphone seemed to carry an electric current. “That would be good.”

This routine was too deep…

Xie Xi watched the memories and thought, ‘I don’t have this ability. Jiang Xie’s script writing ability is really excellent!’

Then Xie Xi recalled what happened in Dream Come True and found that he really had been caught a bit easily. The good thing was that Mr Jiang in Dream Come True wasn’t a slag. He was just a little beast.

In contrast, the collapsed world was full of malice.

It couldn’t be helped. In the face of being abandoned, the souls were forced to think in bad ways.

In the normal quasi-worlds, the tasks might be too pitted and Xie Xi had to pedal N number of boats but the souls always did their best to find reasons for Xie Xi. They strove to cast him as a pure-hearted octopus with difficulties. There was no way, he stepped on so many boats because he had too many feet.

It wasn’t the same in the collapsed world. The previous summary was basically that he was a pure slag…

It was up to Xie Xi to turn the tide. Repairer Xie Xi had to carefully repair it!

Xie Xi buried a time bomb and waited for when it almost detonated.

A photo of Xie Xi and ‘Miss Jiang’ holding hands was sent online.

The headline was shocking: The Chengyu Group and Jiang family’s upcoming marriage? Chengyu’s Xie Xi and Jiang Hong are secretly engaged.

Jiang Xie’s pupils shrank the moment he saw the photo.

It was by the pool after Xie Xi fell into the pool and Jiang Xie rescued him. Thanks to the fall, it was inconvenient for Xie Xi to walk and they held hands as support.

This photo was taken very cleverly. The dim lighting made it impossible to see that the two people were wet. It only showed the intimate posture of the two people holding hands.

This was too much like a couple in love.

If Jiang Xie was really Jiang Hong then he would only be happy to see such news.

However, he wasn’t. Xie Xi was the person he liked and Jiang Hong was his sister. He didn’t want anyone to misunderstand their relationship.

He was thinking about how to suppress this news. He had just refreshed the page when it was deleted.
