The Humble Spare Tire is Set After the Car Rolls Over - Chapter 182
Chaoci left quickly and went back quickly. Zhao Yi didn’t realize that he had gone to Huo Yige.
But soon, Huo Yige’s offensive slowed down, and finally gave up, and Zhao Yi realized that something was wrong.
Huo Yige’s willingness to give up voluntarily is of course a good thing for Zhao. Because they have completely fallen into the inferior position because they are taking the lead, and they have a great chance of losing in the end.
But for Zhao Yi, it may not be a good thing. He may have had a vague impression of the name “Huo Yige” in the past, because he retreated behind the scenes and lived a secluded life, but in these days of fighting, even if he didn’t see Huo Yige a few times, he could see who he was.
He is a person who is crazy to the extreme in his bones. Such a person cannot give up without achieving his goal.
And his purpose is to say goodbye.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Chao Ci came to bring him dinner as usual. When he put the food on the table above the hospital bed, Zhao Yi suddenly grabbed his wrist.
“What’s wrong?” Chao Ci turned to ask him.
“Have you gone to see Huo Yige?” Zhao Yi looked at him, unable to tell the tone of his voice for a while.
Chao Ci knew that he couldn’t hide it from Zhao Yi, so he nodded and admitted: “Yes.”
Zhao Yi obviously disagreed, and was a little scared.
But he couldn’t say anything serious in the end: “Are you stupid, go see that lunatic? In case—”
Huo Yige is indeed a lunatic. Chao Ci was killed by him once, and he went crazy once. Both Zhao Yi and Tan Lie obviously hated and feared him very much.
They were unwilling to see Huo Yige themselves – even if they had the truth that Huo Yige didn’t know – let alone ask Chao Rei to see him.
Chao Ci lowered his eyes and said his own considerations: “I don’t go to him to make it clear, he won’t stop, Zhao Shi and Shuhua are in danger.”
The Zhao family is the hard work of several generations of the Zhao family, and Shuhua is also very important to Tanlie, and Huo Yige will target them entirely because of the court speech.
In love and reason, Chao Ci can’t sit back and watch.
The two have apparently opposite concerns.
Even if the Zhao family really loses this time, Zhao Yi is not willing to resign to see Huo Yige.
Before Zhao Yi’s words were spoken, Chao Ci understood what he meant.
“Don’t worry, I borrowed seventy or eighty people from Yang Hang to go with me.” He sat down and said facing Zhao Yi, trying to calm him down.
Yang Hang is the friend who opened a security company in Chaoci.
But Zhao Yi still disagreed. He frowned and looked at Chao Ci: “Did he say anything to you? Did he force you again?”
“No.” Chao Ci shook his head, “I told him all those things, promised me to stop, and said that they would not disturb me in the future.”
His tone sounded relaxed, even a little malicious – to Huo Yige.
But in fact, his mood was not so relaxed. Thinking of Huo Yige’s stubborn and crazy look that day, he only felt a thorn in his back, and an inescapable disgust haunted him from beginning to end.
But he still concealed Zhao Yi, just like at any time in the previous eight years. His disguise is always superb, and Zhao Yi is far from being sensitive when facing him.
Although Zhao Yi was still worried, he was relieved to hear that Huo Yige was willing to let go.
He leaned over and hugged Chao Ci, and said softly in his ear, “If he can see clearly, we can live our lives well.”
Chao Ci seemed to pause, and then nodded lightly.
“Um.”
“Hurry up and eat.” Chao Ci said again.
Obviously this is the moment he longed most before, to be able to live with Zhao Yi as a partner.
But I don’t know why, but at this time he actually had all kinds of complicated feelings, they were like estrangement, like a sense of emptiness stepping on the void, and like a kind of inexplicable resistance – no matter what kind, it seems to be all. showed resistance.
And the surprise you imagined was nowhere to be found.
Zhao Yi didn’t want to end this topic so soon.
“Aci, shall we get married?” he asked suddenly.
This matter was not sudden, but had been in his mind for a long, long time.
He had already planned a marriage proposal, and he waited until the matter with the Huo family was over before going. But now, he was inexplicably feeling a sense of panic. This panic not only came from the fact that Chao Ci went to see Huo Yige without telling him, but also came from a sense of no reason, as though Chao Ci was in front of him, but his soul was wandering and repelling.
This gave him a strong sense of unease, so he subconsciously said this sentence without thinking too much.
After the exit, he was startled, but he didn’t regret it, and there was a sense of relief.
He desperately hopes to have a stable relationship and future with Chaoci.
He let go of the resignation and smiled apologetically: “I didn’t expect it to be so fast, but I couldn’t help but say it all at once. I didn’t even prepare for a marriage proposal…”
“It’s okay.” Chao Ci shook his head, leaned over and gently placed a kiss on Zhao Yi’s forehead, “Of course I would.”
Chao Ci, what are you hesitating about? Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?
He asked himself over and over again in his heart and told himself over and over again.
After he finished kissing, Zhao Yi pressed his forehead against Chao Ci’s forehead and whispered, “I will supply you in the future.”
I want to give everything to you.
…
Huo Yige stopped, and Zhao Yi was no longer as busy as before, and had a lot of time to accompany Chao Ci.
The relationship between the two seems to be getting closer.
Just a few days ago, Zhao Yi made up a romantic proposal, and the battle was so noisy that it spread throughout City B for a while.
Chao Ci was too flamboyant, and Zhao Yi said that the engagement after that would be low-key, and it would be good to invite some friends.
Yes, he has already started preparations for an engagement.
But Chao Ci was not as happy as it seemed on the surface.
He seemed to be wearing a mask again, just like before.
The difference is that before, he had to pretend not to love Zhao Yi, but now, he has to pretend to love Zhao Yi.
Yes, pretend.
Chao Ci can’t tell if he doesn’t love Zhao Yi anymore.
Zhao Yi is still very important.
However, he was not as happy as he had imagined, instead there were estrangements everywhere.
Has he changed? Or has his feelings for Zhao Yi always been like this?
Perhaps his craving to death in the past was just wishful thinking, and he did not love Zhao Yi as he imagined—or it was simply a morbid love.
When you can’t get it, you will long for it, but when you get it, you will feel terrified.
In addition to this kind of psychology, there is another person between Chao Ci and Zhao Yi’s relationship.
Tan Lie.
It seems that since Chao Ci promised to be with Zhao Yi, he has not gone to see Tan Lie, as if he is avoiding him on purpose, even if Chao Ci has not seriously thought about this issue.
During the time he was with Zhao Yi, he deliberately kept himself from thinking about Tan Lie and all the things he had promised him, even if those demands did not include the guarantee of his feelings for him.
He couldn’t explain his feelings for Tan Lie, but at least there was guilt in it.
What a surprise, in his lifetime, he still owes others a day.
Chao Ci avoided him, but Tan Lie seemed to obey and did not come to him.
But on the third day after Zhao Yi’s proposal to Chao Ci spread throughout City B, Tan Lie took the initiative to find Chao Ci and wanted to meet him.
Chaoci agreed, some things, even if they escaped, they had to be told.
They meet at a coffee shop, an ordinary meeting place for dates.
Their meeting seemed unusual at first, with the two greeting each other and then falling silent again.
Tan Lie stirred the coffee and looked down at his blurry face on the black-brown liquid.
After a while of silence, he raised his head and said to Chao Ci, “I came to you this time mainly to say goodbye to you.”
Chao Ci made a move and looked up at him in astonishment.
“You’re going back to Country D?” His voice was trembling with a hint of unnoticed.
“Yeah.” Tan Lie nodded, then smiled bitterly, “The family handed Shuhua to me just to test my ability. But the development of Shuhua in Country Z is not ideal, and the family wants to call me back to make another plan. , and Shuhua will hand it over to the mainland person in charge of the branch here.”
The Zhao family has a great and deep-rooted career in City B. Even if he was hit by the Huo family and fell into a disadvantage for a while, he quickly recovered after that.
However, Shuhua is just a foreign brand that has just entered the Z country market. It has a very shallow foundation. It is suppressed by forces like the Huo family, and the blow to it is fatal.
Shuhua’s report for this quarter is extremely bleak.
The family was very disappointed, and had let Tanlie go back several times. But Tan Lie still chose to stay here until he heard the news that Zhao Yi proposed to Chao Ci and Chao Ci agreed a few days ago.
He knew it was time to go.
