Chapter 8：disappointment (1/2)
Since that day, Mu Zheng no longer appeared in Hongye Hot Springs. Ye Ruwei's mood swung from the initial shock, panic until gradually she was able to calmly think about her and Mu Zheng's problem.
Undeniably, she still loved Mu Zheng but could she and a killer stay together for life? She could not decide on a positive answer.
What should she do?
Break off with Mu Zheng?
No, she could not do it!
Then pretend she did not know about his past, just to stay by his side?
She really did not know!
”Sister Ye.” Xiao Jia finished arranging the items in the shop, put on his jacket and walked up to the counter.
”Xiao Jia, ready to get off work?” She looked up, trying to put on a smile.
”Sister Ye, are you still thinking of that person? He will not come again! Don't worry, I am by your side. I can.....”
”Xiao Jia!” Ye Ruwei interrupted his words, gently shook her head. ”I understand what you mean. It's not that I do not want to accept you but I cannot accept you. I love Mu Zheng and only love him. If I can easily fall in love with other people then the person beside me would not have been Mu Zheng.”
She had a lot of suitors but she only loved Mu Zheng and she could not do anything about it!
”Sister Ye.....” Xiao Jia opened his mouth to say something but her firm expression stopped him and finally he put down his arms, sadly gave up.
”Sister Ye, since you only love Mu Zheng, why did you give up on him, so easily? Mu Zheng is a cold person and loving him is not an easy thing, right? If you encounter a small problem and retreat, I think....Sister Ye, it would be better to let go now because loving him would be more heartbreaking as time goes by. Why place yourself in a dead end?”
”Xiao Jia...” Ye Ruwei had always thought that he was just a youngster and did not think that his analysis of feelings would actually be so thorough.
”So Sister Ye, you have to think clearly. If you decide to really love Mu Zheng, then do not give up so easily. Regardless of any difficulties, there must be a solution. If you decide not to love him...” He pointed a finger at his nose and said naughtily. ”Remember to consider me. I should be your first choice!”
She could not help but laughed.
”Sister Ye is laughing!” Xiao Jia happily said. ”Sister Ye, you look very pretty when you laugh. I like Sister Ye's gentle smile, the most.”
”Xiao Jia!”
”I would like to thank you.” Ye Ruwei said, looking at the Xiao Jia's sincere face. ”About what you said just now, I will think carefully. Thank you so much! You are not just a good working partner but also my good friend.”
”You're welcome!”
Xiao Jia bowed his head, touched his nose lightly and tried not let her see the disappointment in his eyes.
He did not expect that the first time he liked a woman, it would be a bitter unrequited love. It seems that his love path was destined to meet with hardships!
Mu Zheng came home in the middle of the night and as he exited the elevator, he felt a difference in the environment.
Years of developing his instinct told him that someone was nearby!
He bent over his boots, pulled out his pistol and hid it in the pocket of his long coat. Carefully leaning against the wall, with silent footsteps, he moved forward. At the corner just before his front door, he took a quick look and was surprised to see a dazed woman sitting on the floor in front of his house.
It was her!
”Why are you here?” He asked as he walked towards Ye Ruwei.
Ye Ruwei quickly got up from the floor. ”I'm looking for you!”
”Go in!” Mu Zheng opened the door and entered the house.
”Oh!” Ye Ruwei followed him, blankly standing in the living room, looking a bit helpless.
”Sit down, this is not the first time you are here. You should not be so unfamiliar.”
”Thank you!” Ye Ruwei sat down in the corner of the black leather sofa and said. ”Mu Zheng, I...”
”What do you want to drink?” He took off his coat and asked.
”Ah? Coffee....”
”I only have mineral water.” He opened the fridge, took out a bottle of mineral water and tossed it to her.
”Thank you.”
She took the mineral water and put it on the table. What she had wanted to say initially, she could not put into words.
”What did you want to say, just now?” He sat down opposite her, scrutinizing her as he had not seen her for several days.
She had not changed much but looked as if she was thinner. Still with elegance and beautiful looks which men would appreciate.
”I want to say...” She hesitated for a moment, raised her head and summoned her courage to ask. ”Can you tell me why you are a killer?”
Mu Zheng did not immediately look at her, tightly pursed his lips and had no intention of answering her.
After waiting for a long time, so long that Ye Ruwei thought he would not answer, suddenly he said.
”In order to repay kindness.”
”Kindness?”
”Yes.”
He told her everything, from the time he was eleven years old.
”Because they saved you, so you have to kill for them?” She asked in surprise.
In this kind of society, there were still people like him who would repay kindness?
”Yes.”
”But if they are decent people, they will not send you to kill people!”
”I did not say they are decent people. I only want to repay their kindness, no matter what kind of people they are.”
After listening to his answer, Ye Ruwei felt the heaviness and sadness in her heart.
She knew Mu Zheng was wrong. He should know how to differentiate between right and wrong. Allowing himself to be used as a killing weapon but can she blame him? Was it fair to him?
Even his own biological father had treated him so cruelly and mercilessly, hurting him...in this world, who could he trust?
Her nose turned sour, felt the pain in her heart, tears began to gather in her eyes.
She could not blame him, she could only feel distressed for his years of suffering.
She had seen his numerous large and small scars. Once, she had asked him about the scars and at that time, he did not answer. Thinking back, he must have got the scars during his childhood and training days.
He must have suffered a lot!
”You came to me specifically just to ask this?”
He got up, with his back towards her, walked to the full-length window.
She did not say a word, quietly got up and went to him.
Mu Zheng did not look back but had been carefully listening to the movement behind him.
She stood behind him, spread her arms and hugged his thin body.
”I love you.”
Mu Zheng was startled, afraid to turn around and look at her.
She knew he was an evil killer, his hands were covered with blood but still, she was willing to love him?
”Xiao Jia told me if I choose to continue to love you, then regardless of any difficulties, I will have to carry on. This is my choice, I love you!”
