Chapter 189 Persuasion
When Chi Heng returned to Thousand Souls Mountain, Dongfang Jin happened to return as well.
She already had something to tell him, so as soon as she sensed that Chi Heng had returned, she went out to greet him immediately.
In the end, they managed to corner him at Chi Heng's doorstep.
As a result, seeing the redness around his eyes and nose and the broken light in his eyes, Dongfang Jin couldn't help but twitch.
"What's wrong with you? Did you mess everything up after going out for a while???"
Chi Heng glanced at him indifferently and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Dongfang Jin hesitated for a moment, "Should I... have something to do? Or... can't I have something to do?"
Chi Heng closed his eyes.
"Is it important?"
Dongfang Jin twitched the corner of her mouth. "It doesn't have to be important."
Clearly, Chi Heng's emotions are more important now.
Chi Heng nodded. "Let's wait and see. I'm a little tired and want to rest for a bit."
Dongfang Jin's pupils trembled for a moment.
Wow, even an Ironman has a time when he says he's tired?
Something's up! Something's up!
Something's definitely going on!!!
"What's wrong? Can you tell me?"
"It's nothing, don't overthink it. I'm going to rest for a while. It's rare for you to come back, so you should get some rest too. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"...Okay...okay?"
After Dongfang Jin gave a puzzled reply, Chi Heng tried his best to control his emotions and strode back to his home.
Then he closed and locked the door, refusing entry to anyone.
Dongfang Jin frowned, lowered her eyes, and helplessly turned back to the Little White Building.
In the living room, Jiang Yi, who had returned with Dongfang Jin, was chatting and laughing with Luo Mei.
Seeing him return, I instinctively asked, "Second brother's back? Did you tell the eldest brother?"
Dongfang Jin shook his head. "Boss has something to take care of and doesn't have time right now. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Oh." Jiang Yi nodded, then asked, "By the way, isn't Xiao Qi back yet?"
Luo Mei said, "The boss said that he found the trail of the dyed-clothes person and chased after him."
"Why don't you go?"
Luo Mei pouted, "The boss said he'd go, but he wouldn't let me."
Otherwise, would she just stay here and wait obediently?
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin's eyelashes twitched violently for a moment.
Case solved!
The case is solved!
......
A short while later, he made an excuse to go home and contacted Yu Yao.
"Xiao Qi, are you busy?"
"No, Second Brother, you tell me."
Yu Yao was tossing and turning on the large bed in the space, unable to fall asleep.
My mind is filled with the image of Chi Heng before he left.
When told that he was going to look for the fragments by himself, he paused for a moment before nodding in agreement and gently reminding himself to be careful and to go home when he got tired.
He really didn't do anything that made her feel uncomfortable.
But he... even though he tried his best to hide it, constantly adjusting his breathing to conceal his feelings.
His trembling nasal voice still betrayed him, carrying an inexplicable sense of brokenness.
Yu Yao suddenly felt a little unwell.
......
Dongfang Jin: "Did the boss... say something to you?"
Yu Yao: "Did he tell you?"
Dongfang Jin: "No."
"and you......"
Dongfang Jin: "I guessed it because he was about to break."
Yu Yao: "I'm sorry."
Dongfang Jin: "What are you apologizing for? You don't think I'm here to interrogate you, do you?"
Yu Yao: "......"
No?
Dongfang Jin continued, "Don't worry, whether you accept him or not is your freedom and right. No one can force you, and I won't blame or question you just because you have a good relationship with the boss."
Yu Yao: "Then you are...?"
Dongfang Jin: "I was just thinking... you don't accept him not because you hate him, but because you don't want a romantic relationship to ruin your friendship with your teammates, right?"
Yu Yao: "Yes."
Dongfang Jin: "Your concerns are not unfounded. To be honest, this is something I've always been afraid of myself."
Yu Yao: "?"
Dongfang Jin: "I know the feeling of suppressing emotions. It's exhausting. In the end, it even becomes a shackle, making it impossible to speak even if you want to."
Xiaoqi, you should... think it over carefully. If you're just worried that he might change his mind, then you can rest assured. Although he has never been moved, it's precisely because he is a serious and loyal person.
You can exclude that from your considerations. You only need to consider whether you've fallen for him, and whether the thought of walking hand-in-hand with him softens your heart.
Yu Yao was stunned for a long time.
"Wait a minute, there's too much information here, let me catch my breath."
Dongfang Jin: "Okay~ Think about it carefully."
Yu Yao's mind was racing with a frenzy of thoughts.
Half a day later, I suddenly gasped.
"Second brother, you...are you...Ah Mei...?"
Dongfang Jin: "Yes, I used to think the same way you did. I was afraid that if I didn't handle my feelings well, it would ruin the friendship between my teammates. As a result, now even if I want to say something, no one will believe me, especially Xiao Liu. She will only think that I am thinking of some bad idea or that I am joking with her."
Xiaoqi, you really need to think this through. I hope you reject him because you genuinely don't like him, and not because you're worried about anything else.
Don't end up like me, making yourself like this; it'll be too late to regret it then.
Yu Yao sat on the large bed in the space, lost in thought about Dongfang Jin's words.
He likes Amei!
No wonder Amei said her second brother always ruined her marriage prospects.
No wonder he always listens very attentively to whatever Amei says and is the first to respond!
No wonder he had the lowest level of favorability towards me at the beginning!
Because he was jealous that Amei liked to cling to him!
He wasn't in the team that saved the original owner in the previous life! Because he probably went after Amei!
As for Amei... she still doesn't know what he's thinking.
Even if I knew, I wouldn't believe it!
......
Yu Yao pursed her lips, feeling sorry for him for revealing such a secret in order to persuade her.
At the same time, she also seriously considered Dongfang Jin's words.
Did she reject Chi Heng because she was worried about ruining their teamwork? Or did she genuinely dislike him?
It seems like both!
The former is more common!
However, Dongfang Jin's words also reminded her that she shouldn't reject Chi Heng's feelings because of those things.
What if one day...
What if.
