Chapter 60 Complicated (1/2)

Zhang Gui suddenly roared and let it all out. Then the woman pushed him away and slipped into the blanket. Zhang Gui was surprised. He quietly put up his pants. Then the woman snorted, ”You didn't call me lately. I saw you with a woman the other night. Do you think I didn't know? She's more beautiful and elegant than me... I'm just a whore. You have reasons to despise me.”

Zhang Gui yelled, ”Yingzi, what the hell are you talking about?”

Xiao Bing would be surprised if he saw Zhang Gui's face. Because the insane indignation and love on this short, ugly coward's face was quite conspicuous.

”I met you when I was 28 and you were just 22. You were the woman of my life since that night! I've been working hard every day, trying to make enough money to save you! Maybe I'm a useless man, but I still have my conscience. You've always been good to me. I remember that. I'm not an ungrateful person!”

”Just stop...” Yingzi cried and her makeup ｗas ruined.

Zhang Gui slipped into the blanket as well and put Yingzi in his arms. Though he was a short man, everything he did at this moment seemed to be big.

Zhang Gui seemed to be about to cry, ”You have been by my side all these years. Others hate me because I'm short and hideous. But you're different. You've always been kind and gentle to be. You're more like my wife though we're not married. You are perfunctory when you're with other men. But you're true to me. How can I ignore that?”

Zhang Gui sobbed while speaking, ”But I'm just a total loser. I could have saved you from Qiang Zi if I was not that useless, so you don't have to work for him anymore... I thought of running away with you. But these monsters will never give us a quick death if we don't make it...”

”Stop saying that. Just stop.” Ying Zi burst into a flood of tears, ”It's not your fault... I'm sorry. I was just being unreasonable. I became yours for the rest of my life since that night four years ago. Maybe it is because I'm stressed out lately and I think too much... I thought I was not worthy of you and you would cast me aside.”

”Don't ever think that.” Zhang Gui held Yingzi in his arms and said in a hoarse voice, ”You're the only woman who isn't disgusted with this ugly man. It is me that is not worthy of you. I know people talk behind our backs whenever we walk on the streets. They all sneered at you for being with such an ugly man. They have no fucking idea who doesn't deserve whom!”

”Please... Stop saying that. When you have enough money to save me from Qiangzi, I'll marry you and be a true wife to you. Okay?”

”That would be a dream come true.” Zhang Gui's eyes shined with deep feelings while he tightly held her in his arms. ”It's your birthday a week from today. I'll give you a big surprise on that day. You will never forget it...”

A week... He still had a week to do that.

In the next two days, Xiao Bing kept searching with Yezi when he was done with work. But he had not seen Zhu Liya since that night. So he gradually forgot about what happened that night.

Su Xiaoxiao finally caught up with her study schedule, but she still asked Xiao Bing to help her with her problems, which made Xiao Bing very impressed with her passion for studying. So he patiently helped her with studying. The day her mother Li Chunlan could get discharged was also approaching.

On the third day, after Xiao Bing said goodbye to Xiaoxiao at the gate of the campus, he coincidently saw Zhu Liya coming his way. As he was thinking about how to avoid her, he noticed that she seemed to be flurried after seeing him. She suddenly turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

”What happened?”

Xiao Bing was confused and he ran after her out of curiosity. He shouted while he was near her, ”Liya!”

Zhu Liya had to stop. Xiao Bing stood in front of her and saw her wearing big black sunglasses. She turned her head when she saw him. ”Is this woman mad at me? Because I took advantage of her that night? Or is she mad because I didn't take enough advantage of her?”

Xiao Bing began to regret catching her up. He felt uneasy when he saw her after that night.

But Xiao Bing was an experienced man. He was not that nervous since he was used to being surrounded by girls when he was in Beijing. But Yezi was an exception. Xiao Bing restored his confidence instantly and smiled, ”Liya, why did you turn your back to me without saying hello?”

”Well... Xiao... Xiao Bing, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I need to go home.”

”Alright then, go on with your business. I should go to the noodle house.”

”Okay. I'll talk to you next time.”

”See you next time.”

Xiao Bing inwardly laughed because her original direction was towards her home. And yet she turned around and was going in the opposite direction, saying she was going home... But Xiao Bing did not point it out to her. But when he brushed against her, he noticed the faint bruise under her sunglasses...

While Xiao Bing wanted to take a closer look, she was already gone. Xiao Bing felt uneasy when thinking about the bruise on her flurried face. How come it appeared on that pretty face? He could only think of one possibility... But it was their own business. Xiao Bing had nothing to do with it. He suppressed his uneasiness and left.
