Chapter 375: He Loved Silently (5)

The way she looked then reminded him of how she had looked five years ago. That was when she had told him, “Si Zhengting, let’s break up.”
Five years ago, his greatest mistake was to let go of her. So how could he possibly let her go now?
Even if she really didn’t love him anymore, even if she really didn’t care about him anymore, he couldn’t loosen his grip on her and let her go.
Si Zhengting’s gaze slowly drooped downwards. He could see her rubbing her own shoulder out of the periphery of his vision, then she had continued to hold her drafts with her head lowered.
He suddenly remembered that she had no laptop.
It was the weekend. How could she possibly come up with the drafts within two days?
By drawing them by hand?
Si Zhengting sighed internally. He stared at her for a moment before turning around and planning to leave. However, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. “Who’s there? Ah, someone, please come over! There’s someone peeping at me!”
Si Zhengting stiffened. He stood in the darkness, so the other party couldn’t see him clearly. However, when he turned his head around, he could see Lin Xi’er standing at the door. She was screaming in fear and trepidation!
And before Lin Xi’er had finished screaming, Si Zhengting was stunned.
He had decided to come because he thought that there was no one here. He never would have thought that he would be so caught up in staring at Zhuang Nainai that he wouldn’t realize that someone was behind him!
He turned his head around and gazed toward her room. Through the window, he could see that Zhuang Nainai had jumped to her feet. Si Zhengting had been worried that he would scare her to death, as Mother Zhuang was not living with her at the moment. Being alone here, a young lady like her might be nervous and jumpy.
He didn’t expect Zhuang Nainai’s immediate reaction to be to pick up the broom in her room and to rush to the door. Before she even opened it, her resonant voice had already rung out, “Who? Who’s peeping there? You b*stard! How dare you peep at what my grandaunt is doing! I’ll knock your teeth out!”
Si Zhengting was shocked.
His entire face had turned dark. If Zhuang Nainai really spotted him now at this place, what would happen?
So, without thinking, he turned around and hurriedly left for the alleyway.
He still heard Zhuang Nainai’s furious voice calling after him and the sound of her footsteps thundering behind him. “Hey, stop running! Come back! You have the guts to peep but not to stand still?”
Si Zhengting was shocked.
Zhuang Nainai was indeed a person who made others worry for her! What if the person she was chasing after was an actual criminal?!
Wasn’t she afraid that she would be in mortal danger?
Si Zhengting ran for a full half an hour. He ran past many alleyways before he finally managed to throw Zhuang Nainai off his trail.
Then, he stood at the small house within the rural Xibali village. He walked around it a couple of times before realizing that he would have to walk for more than an hour to get back to his car.
His rage and sadness had dissipated after being chased by Zhuang Nainai and her broom. Right now, Si Zhengting was only left with one emotion, and that was… feeling lifeless.
He sighed and pushed his hand into his pocket, reaching for his cell phone. Without hesitating, he called Su Yanbin.
Half an hour later, Su Yanbin drove his car over with his sleep-laden eyes. He witnessed a troubled-looking Si Zhengting still managing to cause pedestrians to turn back and take a second look at him thanks to his striking figure. Su Yanbin couldn’t help but sigh. What a world obsessed with good looks!
Once Si Zhengting entered the car, Su Yanbin yawned. He checked his phone and saw that it was already 11:30 pm. He asked, “Leader Ting, how did you end up here? Should I send you home now?”
Si Zhengting paused for a moment before replying, “No, send me to the shopping mall.”
