Chapter 544: So Unbearable
In the bathtub in the bathroom, Xu Zhishan, who had calmed down after the impulse, realized belatedly that she had touched the bottom line of Su Chenyi's relationship with others.
She suddenly lost her previous boldness, and her heart was torn between wanting to know how Su Chenyi felt about her now and being afraid of making Su Chenyi unhappy.
Finally, the image of Su Chenyi's eyes and back, which had suddenly become distant and indifferent after she asked about the burn scar on her hand, came to her mind.
Xu Zhishan looked at Su Chenyi's indifferent expression with his brows slightly furrowed. She removed her hands from Su Chenyi and took a few steps back.
She thought about it and felt that Su Chenyi would most likely not give an answer that would make her happy.
So, she immediately turned her gaze to the exit at the back, and while tactfully agreeing that Su Chenyi didn't need to answer, she gave Su Chenyi a clear look that he could leave.
But Su Chenyi, who had wanted to leave very much before, sat there motionless without Xu Zhishan blocking him, with no intention of leaving at all.
Su Chenyi just looked at Xu Zhishan quietly, who suddenly became a little nervous. He knew what Xu Zhishan was afraid of.
He knew that after Xu Zhishan asked him about the scar on his hand at Yeyi Bar, she became more cautious when talking to him because of his subconscious reaction.
Although he didn't like people asking him about his personal privacy, he was not actually angry because of Xu Zhishan's inquiries that time.
Su Chenyi just thought of his parents who were burned to death in the raging fire, and felt sad that he had not been able to avenge them.
The scars on his hands, which he had left because he wanted to save his father who was burned by the flames, were a mark that he remembered the hatred of his family being destroyed.
When Xu Zhishan asked him, he thought of the important task that was still on him, and his eyes changed in an instant.
At that time, Su Chenyi didn't want Xu Zhishan to see the hatred that flashed in his eyes, and the sadness that came from missing his parents.
He also didn't want to be too close to Xu Zhishan, causing him to forget that he shouldn't have any other unnecessary emotions at the moment, which would affect his revenge.
Therefore, he quickly got up and left Xu Zhishan, and for a long time afterwards he deliberately distanced himself from Xu Zhishan.
At this moment, Su Chenyi looked at Xu Zhishan who suddenly became cautious again, and he couldn't bear to continue answering.
But he couldn't bear to see Xu Zhishan fall in love with someone who was not worthy of her love, and himself, whose hands were stained with blood and wrapped in hatred.
Therefore, he had to be hardened and build a thicker and taller wall between him and Xu Zhishan.
Therefore, Su Chenyi, who was doing the bloodiest task in Dark Moon Fire, pushed Xu Zhishan away from him completely, where her life might be in danger at any time.
He clenched his back teeth slightly, a serious and earnest expression appeared on his calm face, and he told Xu Zhishan that he would answer.
Then, before Xu Zhishan could refuse, he said with a serious look on his face:
“I treat you like a sister, just like your brother.
After that... don't bother her. She's not someone you can afford to offend. Please... please."
"Buzzing..."
After Su Chenyi finished answering, neither he nor Xu Zhishan spoke. In the quiet bathroom, only the exhaust fan above Su Chenyi's head was turning and making the sound of the machine operating.
Maybe the air in the bathroom started to circulate, or maybe Su Chenyi's words were cold and direct.
In an instant, the bathroom, which had just felt warm due to the hot steam, became cold, as if it was in a cold storage room.
This time, Su Chenyi did not mention Jiang Yunhan's name directly, but it was different from Xu Zhishan's previous reference to "she" when she didn't want to mention Jiang Yunhan's name.
Xu Zhishan didn't know if she had become too sensitive because of her physical discomfort.
She actually felt that the "she" Su Chenyi mentioned was so intimate and gentle.
Although Su Chenyi seemed to have answered a question that was not asked, he had actually indirectly answered all of Xu Zhishan's questions.
When she heard the word "sister", she felt a dull pain in her heart. She didn't believe that Su Chenyi only treated her as a sister.
But Su Chenyi's next words made her open her eyes wide, and then her eyes gradually became dim.
The feelings deep in her heart slowly emerged in her eyes, and a look of hurt slowly covered her entire facial features, as if the beautiful person had lost her luster in an instant.
Xu Zhishan thought that when she met someone she disliked, she would act like a spoiled little girl with a bad temper. She did seem a bit spoiled and domineering, and too true to her nature.
But what Su Chenyi said made her feel that she was an unreasonable and evil person who would deliberately cause trouble for others?
Moreover, Su Chenyi used a warning tone, which clearly showed that he was concerned about Jiang Yunhan and was particularly afraid that she would bully Jiang Yunhan.
After seeing this, Xu Zhishan felt very hurt, even more sad than when she heard Su Chenyi say "I like Jiang Yunhan more" and "She is my girlfriend".
At this moment, she seemed like a wooden person, her mind became dull and sluggish, and she kept repeating Su Chenyi's answer in her mind.
Xu Zhishan began to doubt her image in Su Chenyi's heart. Has it always been so bad?
Su Chenyi was even worried that she would go upstairs to cause trouble for Jiang Yunhan later. Was he so worried that he needed to ask her in advance... to the point of begging her?
So... does she cherish Jiang Yunhan so much, the man who made her completely heartbroken the first time he appeared in front of her?
But what Xu Zhishan didn't realize was that Su Chenyi didn't say that he liked Jiang Yunhan.
He asked Xu Zhishan not to look for Jiang Yunhan, firstly because he wanted to prevent the innocent Jiang Yunhan from being too implicated because of the matter between him and Xu Zhishan.
Secondly, he was very worried that Xu Zhishan would provoke Jiang Yunhan, the gangster boss of the Hanhu Gang, because of her bad mood, and he didn't want Xu Zhishan to be in danger.
At this time, Xu Zhishan, who was in a depressed mood, had a lot of thoughts in her mind and had more questions than before that she wanted to ask Su Chenyi.
But she stood there silently, her long eyelashes slowly drooping, casting a shadow under the white light above her head.
But even though the shadow covered the sadness that flashed across her eyes, Su Chenyi, who was sitting in front of him, still noticed Xu Zhishan's disappointment and hurt.
Su Chenyi couldn't bear to watch any further, so he lowered his head slightly and looked at Xu Zhishan's feet, which were painted with red nail polish.
He stared at Xu Zhishan, who always wore high heels to look mature and sexy, and whose feet were abnormally red, with hallux valgus and blisters all over them.
While he felt distressed, he also became more certain of what he had just done and that he must push Xu Zhishan away from him.
So, Su Chenyi became silent again, with no intention of comforting Xu Zhishan, and just sat there quietly.
He did not take the initiative to leave, but waited for Xu Zhishan's next question, or to vent her dissatisfaction with him.
Suddenly, Xu Zhishan, who had been silent for a long time, said two words slowly with a dull expression and a low voice, as if she had no strength left:
"……go out."
