CHAPTER 222 (1/2)

Collapsing 11 Boundaries 10

From Jiang Xie’s perspective, this scene was filled with bleakness.

In front of the huge glass window, the falling sun dyed the sky red. It was as if all the strength was exhausted and the last blood of life was falling.

The back of the man standing in front of the floor to ceiling window was straight but the shirt showed a large gap. In particular, the waist was so thin that it was distressing.

In this one month… hadn’t this person eaten any good meals?

During the one month abroad, Jiang Xie hadn’t wanted to think about Xie Xi. In fact, as long as he was idle, he couldn’t help thinking about Xie Xi.

However, he was too afraid to look. Turning on the phone would allow him to connect to the monitor and see Xie Xi’s every move.

Yet Jiang Xie didn’t dare take a single look. It was like facing Pandora’s Box. If he didn’t look at it, he wouldn’t be tempted. He was afraid that one glance would make him return home.

This gap created by Jiang Xie could be regarded as giving Xie Xi enough time. He had a comfortable time this one month.

Jiang Xie didn’t look at Xie Xi but Xie Xi always paid attention to Jiang Xie. The monitoring was very useful and even Jiang Xie’s breathing while sleeping at night could be transmitted to Xie Xi’s ears.

Xie Xi went to see him several times and even got close to him using the stealth charm.

While staying in the office, Xie Xi was very comfortable. Once he interfered with the cameras, he could casually enjoy himself.

It was nothing to read books. If he was tired of reading books then he would play with high-tech gadgets and he could also practice his drawing skills.

There might be the sketch pen and it was bound to him for life but he couldn’t always rely on it. For example, this quasi-world emptied out all his other skills and items. What if there was a world where he couldn’t take the sketch pen?

In short, there was no harm in practicing.

Xie Xi only moved his chopsticks when outsiders sent him food. Privately, he drew whatever he wanted to eat.

There was the enhanced version of the slimming pill, causing Xie Xi to become thinner. In one month, he lost 5 kilograms. He was already really thin so it was miserable to lose 5 kilograms.

Jiang Xie hadn’t seen Xie Xi for one month. It was natural to be shocked.

Xie Xi stirred up some emotions, made sure he wouldn’t burp and slowly turned around…

This picture was very moving.

The exquisite face became smaller because it was thinner while the eyes became bigger. The lips were dry and the colour was very light, presumably from malnutrition…

Jiang Xie’s heart was tugged.

Xie Xi’s voice was hoarse (from choking) as he asked, “You came back?”

Theoretically, Xie Xi didn’t know what Jiang Xie was doing and didn’t know that Jiang Hong had recovered.

Jiang Xie’s brow furrowed. “Why haven’t you been eating well?”

In fact, Xie Xi had been eating well. He ate food from all over the world, including China, France, Italy, Japan, Korea and Thailand.

Xie Xi replied, “I have no appetite.”

Jiang Xie didn’t say anything. He just took off his coat and went to the kitchen.

It hadn’t been used for one month but the kitchen contained fresh vegetables, which were prepared by the daily cleaning people.

They weren’t sure when Jiang Xie would come back and their job was to change the fresh vegetables every day. The types were prepared according to the schedule and they never changed it.

Jiang Xie wanted to cook rice but he looked at Xie Xi and was afraid of his indigestion. Thus, he changed it to porridge and didn’t put anything apart from a few green vegetables.

Xie Xi sat outside worrying.

It was reasonable to say that this meal should be eaten. He had been hungry for so long and Jiang Xie finally came back and personally cooked a meal. Eating it would give extra points.

However… he couldn’t support it.

Not only did he eat dinner, he swallowed a mouthful of dessert.

Now he was panicked. He couldn’t exercise to eliminate the food. After all, he was skinny and if he jumped around… it would be poisonous!

Jiang Xie was afraid that Xie Xi would be hungry and cooked quickly. The porridge was made in a pressure cooker and the speed was incredibly fast.

Xie Xi looked at the table full of dishes, “…”

“Come over and eat.”

They were all food that Xie Xi loved to eat, light but delicious homemade dishes.

If Xie Xi hadn’t eaten a bowl of pork bone ramen, chestnut fish and strawberry mochi, he would really want to eat it.

Jiang Xie watched Xie Xi have no appetite and frowned even more. “You aren’t eating. Do you mean to starve yourself?”

Xie Xi picked up the chopsticks and caught a small pea.

Jiang Xie, “…”

Xie Xi really wasn’t able to eat. If he knew that Jiang Xie would come back, he wouldn’t have sneaked so much food.

Jiang Xie felt pained and uncomfortable. He also couldn’t eat and put down his chopsticks, asking him, “Without Chengyu, you don’t even have the strength to eat?”

Xie Xi’s spirit was shocked and he finally led Jiang Xie to the right track.

His dazed expression fell into Jiang Xie’s eyes and there was a burst of pain in his heart. “Do you think I will be soft if you look like this?”

Xie Xi raised his emotions and shook his head. “No.”

Jiang Xie was unsure what question he was answering.

Xie Xi spoke softly, “I just think it is quite boring.”

Perhaps his body was so weak that it made his voice as light as a whisper. If it wasn’t so quiet, Jiang Xie wouldn’t have heard his words.

After listening to the answer, Jiang Xie’s heart trembled and an uncontrollable sourness spread in his chest.

Jiang Xie wondered, “Do you live just for the sake of Chengyu?” This Chengyu represented Xie Xi’s ambition but he didn’t have the heart to say it in such a straightforward manner.

Xie Xi glanced at Jiang Xie in a startled manner. “Otherwise, what else can I do?”

Jiang Xie was stumped by the question.

Xie Xi looked at the meal in front of him and spoke slowly, “I have never been as idle as I am now. I have always been working hard, struggling to go up.”

This was the first time Jiang Xie saw such a Xie Xi. The dazzling aura was removed and the exquisite camouflage faded away, revealing a Xie Xi that had never been seen before.

Jiang Xie was very clear about Xie Xi’s experiences. Or it should be said that no one in D City’s financial circles didn’t know.

He was a child of the Xie family. Due to some enmity, his mother left that life and took him away.

His father married someone else and it wasn’t long before he gave birth to Xie Xi’s younger brother.
