Mixed Chapter 60
byHaihou’s first heartache
Zhu Shutong still reduced Lin Zi’s energy. Seeing that she was getting thinner and as thin as a bamboo pole, her physical strength was actually better than when they were together.
From ten o’clock in the evening to five o’clock in the morning, I must have counted seven or eight times intermittently. If Zhu Shutong was not exhausted, his whole body was sore, swollen, and even his eyelids weighed a thousand kilograms and could not be lifted at all, then Lin Zi would have added a few more times without mercy.
Lin Zi’s style of dealing with sudden emergencies has always been to leave after sleeping, and this time was no exception.
She washed away the scent of desire and walked to the bedside, and lifted up the fallen hair from her forehead in the white tea-scented night. Her free hand was about to pick up the thin inner cover of the quilt, but unfortunately the person on the bed was unwilling.The arm hanging in the air was firmly fixed by Zhu Shutong, and the clothes fell down.
Lin Zi frowned and looked at Zhu Shutong, who curled up and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.There was a slight hint of displeasure between his eyebrows, but there was no sign of opening his eyes.
Why are you trying your best to keep me when you are obviously too tired to open your eyes?
She turned slightly sideways, and her right hand, which had enough room to use, covered the back of her hand, and then slowly moved her fingers apart one by one.
“Xiaozi, don’t go, okay…” Six words rushed through her dry throat one after another. If she hadn’t spoken slowly, it would have been difficult to understand the meaning. Her voice was so hoarse that it was unreasonable.
“I think you should know me very well, Miss Zhu.” Lin Zi didn’t appreciate it at all.
“Just this once, okay?” Her humble look was in sharp contrast to the other person’s ruthlessness, and in the end she shed crystal clear tears helplessly.
Tears were the most useless thing to Lin Zi.
She thought of the days when she was with Zhu Shutong, and she never shed a tear.No matter how much he made her angry, he never did.
But why do you cry so easily now?
Zhu Shutong must know that tears are the most useless thing to Lin Zi.
But she had no choice.
The strength in Lin Zi’s hand relaxed, and there was a hint of tenderness in her tone that she couldn’t even detect, and asked her: “Why are you crying?”
She looked at Zhu Shutong and shook her head, then raised her head and tried hard to hold back the excess tears.
Lin Zi’s heart felt like it had been hit hard.But God made a few cuts as if she didn’t feel the pain was enough, and finally poured a whole bag of salt into the openings.This taste made her breathless in pain for at least a full minute.
Is this God’s punishment for the Queen of the Sea?Lin Zi didn’t know.She was unfamiliar with the intense pain she felt just now. She thought she shouldn’t have such emotions, and even if she did, at least she shouldn’t use them on Zhu Shutong.
“I hate people crying.” The remaining pain made Lin Zi’s breath become confused. She didn’t want to be influenced by others, so the gentleness in her tone turned back to ruthlessness.The arrogant lion didn’t want to be seen through, so she put on a lie and said, “Zhu Shutong, don’t let me hate you!”
Lin Zi’s last lie seemed to block the road ahead of Zhu Shutong.She watched Zhu Shutong’s eyes gradually dimming, and finally became darker than the night in Milan.
The remaining pain deepened in her bottomless eyes.In the air-conditioned room at 22 degrees Celsius, where Zhu Shutong could not see, Lin Zi’s forehead was already covered with sweat.
——Don’t cry, I’ll stay.
This truth from the bottom of my heart has long since blended into the night along with the arrogance and sweat on her forehead.
Lin Zi tensed her jaw and broke away from her hand again, picked up her clothes and left the bedroom.
She did not choose to go back to the hotel, nor did she choose to spend the night on the sofa in Zhu Shutong’s living room. Although she quite wanted to do so, she still couldn’t let go of that shame.
As dawn broke in the sky, she accidentally entered a nearby 24-hour convenience store, bought a bottle of lemon-flavored beer, and found a seat to sit down.She held her face and yawned, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.People of all kinds began to appear on the deserted streets, and the shadows of the trees were gradually lengthened by the sun.
Lin Zi just sat there with a bottle of beer for two hours, just two hours to relax and think about her first heartache.
Thanks to the well-chosen time period and geographical location, she can temporarily put aside her identity as a public figure. If she were in China, Lin Zi would definitely be on Weibo’s hot searches that day.
She took the last sip of wine down her throat, crushed it, and threw it into the trash can.
When she turned on her phone, she saw seven or eight missed calls, all of which were from her assistant, Baby.
She dialed back, her voice full of fatigue: “Hello.”
“Sister Zi, are you still at Miss Zhu’s place? How soon will you be back?”
“Why are you in such a hurry? We can’t lose it. Besides, we don’t have a flight at night.” Can’t you just let me relax first?
“Tsk, hang up now. I’ll be back later.”
Lin Zi left the convenience store, her tired eyes still not accustomed to the strong sunlight outside.She squinted her red bloodshot eyes, carrying a medicine bag along the way under the eaves, and unknowingly returned to the downstairs of Zhu Shutong’s apartment. Then she got on the elevator by accident and knocked on her door.
She patiently knocked intermittently for two or three minutes before Zhu Shutong’s hoarse voice came out of the room.
As she got closer, she heard the abnormality in her steps.It was dragged over with a limp.
It’s so out of control.
Zhu Shutong weakly unscrewed the door handle, and when the sun shone in, she saw how humble she was last night.
She met Lin Zi’s eyes, but there was no joy in her eyes, but more of fear and fawning.
“Xiaozi…why are you back?”
Lin Zi walked straight into the house without saying anything.He put down the pile of medicines in his hand and said, “I was too out of control last night, so… I bought you some medicines and sent them over.”
During the two hours that Lin Zi was in a daze, she thought a lot and sorted out a lot.
Lin Zi thought of Zhu Shutong’s previous indulgence and good temper towards her.She was even the only one among the countless ex-girlfriends he dated after becoming famous who didn’t stay with her for resources and even poured resources out to her.He is also the only one who keeps in touch from time to time after the breakup and continues to have a relationship.
If it were anyone else, Lin Zi would never be able to do this.
She belatedly discovered that while Zhu Shutong was indulging her, she was also indulging Zhu Shutong.
The arrogant lion spent 120 minutes clearing away the fog and found the cause of the heartache.So coming to Zhu Shutong was never a coincidence, it was just following one’s heart.
“Do you need… me to apply some medicine on you?” she said as she untied the knot of the bag.
“Xiaozi, actually you don’t need to come back specially. I asked you out first, and now it’s all of my own free will. Anyway, we have maintained this relationship for a long time, haven’t we?” She smiled self-deprecatingly, “Also, well, I just thought of something last night, so don’t worry about it. You should still have work, so go back quickly.”
“Will we meet again?”
“What are these words? Of course.” Zhu Shutong felt confused.
“Then… we’ll see you next time.” Lin Zi took out the medicine bottles and ointments she was going to use and put them away.
“Can you be a little gentler next time?”
“Yeah.”
Lin Zi, who was straight forward, began to feel conflicted.
She felt heartbroken for the first time, but when she heard Zhu Shutong’s words, she thought that maybe maintaining this relationship was the best choice.
At least, it’s the best option for now.
But, love is a magical thing.
Love can change or hurt, it can be a reward or a punishment.If pain in love is punishment, then pain in change is double punishment.
Lin Zi’s changes after returning to China are obvious.Before boarding the plane, she briefly put aside her dignity and sent a message to Zhu Shutong to express the pain in her heart and the changes in her emotions.Zhu Shutong only replied with one sentence
——Xiaozi, you can’t just talk but not do anything in your life.
You can’t just talk and not do it.
Lin Zi remembered this sentence for the first time, so she returned to China for a month without finding a new romantic partner or making any new relationship progress. She even called Chi Nuan a lot more serious.
Lin Zi is 29 years old.
The more she established herself in the fashion world, the more emptiness she felt.If it weren’t for Zhu Shutong’s initiative to meet, without Zhu Shutong’s pleading and tears, she would always be tied to false love in this life, and she would never experience the feeling of falling in love with someone, let alone get anyone’s sincerity.
But Lin Zi’s prosperous career can never fill the emotional emptiness.
Lin Zi is 29 years old.
It’s time for her to calm down.
