Peerless War God Returns

After coming into contact with the ground, Chu Xihee's face even touched something soft.    

    

Realizing what had happened, he sprung up like he had been electrocuted, closing his eyes in preparation to receive Zhuang Jiyue's overwhelming rebuke.    

    

But after a while, Zhuang Jiyue was as calm as a pool of clear water.    

    

There was no reprimand, no reprimand, not even a slightly more intense one.    

    

"Are you okay?" Chu Xihee hurriedly asked in a probing manner.    

    

"Mmm, my hands and feet are a bit soft. I haven't eaten much in the past two days."    

    

Zhuang Jiyue only said so lightly. She had already recovered from her fall. Even if Chu Xihee saw her and touched her, it wouldn't be as sarcastic as usual.    

    

This surprised Chu Xihee greatly.    

    

"I'm finished, I'm finished. Is this still the Zhuang Jiyue I know? It's as if I've suddenly become a different person. What happened in the past two days? Did I find the wrong person and come to the wrong room?"    

    

"Or did she think I didn't see it? It can't be. If it was in the past, he would have already been pushed away."    

    

"Still … Does she think it doesn't matter anymore? "    

    

"Treat me as one of your own?"    

    

At this moment, Chu Xihee was filled with doubts, while his mind was in a mess.    

    

He could not explain the abnormality at the moment, so he had to deal with this somewhat awkward situation. After all, she was still lying naked in front of him.    

    

In the end, Zhuang Jiyue changed into warm and dry clothes with Chu Xihee's help.    

    

Seeing Chu Xihee come to Zhuang Jiyue, she suddenly had the power to persevere. It was just one more person, but it made her feel like she wasn't alone anymore.    

    

Zhuang Jiyue's body became dry again. Under Chu Xihee's gaze, she ate the bowl of bird's nest porridge that his mother brought to his room.    

    

"What are you looking at?"    

    

Seemingly noticing Chu Xihee's gaze, Zhuang Jiyue, who had just eaten some soup, turned sharp again. She continued to eat slowly with the bowl in her hand.    

    

"Oh, no." Chu Xihee quickly looked away, putting aside his doubts towards Zhuang Jiyue's previous performance.    

    

"However, your room is quite pretty, and it's very big, much bigger than Chuanzhou's house." Chu Xihee changed the topic.    

    

"I'm getting married in three days."    

    

Zhuang Jiyue suddenly said. She stopped the spoon in her hand with a complicated expression on her calm face.    

    

This was obviously the biggest problem and problem she was facing right now. It wasn't hard to tell from her expression that she had experienced a struggle between thought and emotion.    

    

With just a simple sentence, Chu Xihee could tell that Zhuang Jiyue's seemingly calm tone carried a hint of bitterness.    

    

But if you listened to it alone, the meaning of this sentence was as if she had agreed, because it was a statement, not a question, and not a negative sentence.    

    

Chu Xihee heard this and for some reason, a guess appeared in his heart.    

    

That was the purpose of his visit this time. He wanted to know about the marriage decision and Zhuang Jiyue's attitude towards it.    

    

After hearing this, Chu Xihee thought Zhuang Jiyue had already agreed. Otherwise, how could his family even decide on the date of marriage?    

    

"Then, congratulations." Chu Xihee said.    

    

Seemingly not expecting Chu Xihee to say something like this, Zhuang Jiyue suddenly looked at Chu Xihee with a serious expression. Chu Xihee also looked at Chu Xihee with the same obedient attitude to cover up the sense of loss in his heart.    

    

After the encounter earlier, Zhuang Jiyue thought that Chu Xihee already knew what she was thinking, but she didn't know why he said those words.    

    

Surprised and a little angry, Zhuang Jiyue's mood also turned unfathomable under this misunderstanding.    

    

She didn't think that her expression was a misunderstanding, but she felt that Chu Xihee was still indifferent about her marriage.    

    

Could it be that even though he knew that he was marrying someone he didn't like, he was still so cold? Didn't this mean that he had no interest in her.    

    

If that was the case, didn't he think that he was being sentimental too much? From this point of view, he felt that the mood just now was laughable.    

    

That hug was nothing.    

    

She thought Chu Xihee knew what she was thinking and also knew what she was thinking about. Everything was hazy and close to breaking through to the normal state.    

    

But now, everything had returned to how it was before. It was originally just an expression of wrong feelings and a misunderstanding.    

    

Zhuang Jiyue instantly felt that it was laughable and sneered coldly. She shifted her gaze elsewhere.    

    

"Heh heh, yes, you should be congratulating me. That is the capital's Zhou Family, a place where the sky is splashing with wealth, where oil is being boiled in flames, and the girls do not wish to marry off to. " Zhuang Jiyue said angrily.    

    

When Chu Xihee heard this, he immediately understood.    

    

Even if it was just a moment ago, Chu Xihee had purposely said those words a little probingly. If Zhuang Jiyue was unwilling, then she would definitely have a great reaction.    

    

Pity that he still had a sliver of hope, but at this moment, it was all extinguished. The disappointment in his heart that he tried to conceal just now was completely overflowed out, unable to be suppressed.    

    

This trip was superfluous, and he couldn't help but find it laughable.    

    

It was also not good for him to question her about her transformation. Perhaps in the past two days, she had clearly thought about it. Even that disappointed appearance from before could still be explained by her.    

    

At this moment, the two of them were a little conflicted. Their thoughts and words were completely different.    

    

"However, my trip was not in vain. At least I was able to visit your luxurious villa. It's really impressive. I didn't expect your family to be so rich."    

    

"In a place like the capital, I really can't see it."    

    

Chu Xihee's words contained a sense of inferiority. At least, Chu Xihee knew Zhuang Jiyue as an ordinary person, so he would inevitably say something envious when faced with their flourishing families.    

    

"Heh, of course."    

    

The more Zhuang Jiyue heard Chu Xihee's words, the more distant she felt. The tacit understanding between them had already dissipated like smoke. The two of them did not need to treat each other and herself with sincerity.    

    

"Actually, I feel that Miss Qian Jin is in pretty good health. At the very least, she doesn't have to stay up all night to work overtime. She has to think hard about how good her days will be."    

    

Zhuang Jiyue purposefully said those words in a relaxed manner. She was trying her best to fight back, and it was also her internal protective mechanism. No matter what, she couldn't afford to lose face.    

    

Did she have to admit that she liked it? It was completely out of character for her to bend her knee like that. She wasn't a girl who fell in love.    

    

Chu Xihee didn't say anything more after hearing that. He couldn't keep up with the disappointment in his heart anymore. This kind of awkward expression would probably be felt by anyone.    

    

The two of them fell into an awkward silence that was similar to being befuddled. This strange silence caused their hearts to be affected.    

    

They could feel that the other party was slightly fond of them. However, due to their lack of face, the two of them had purposely neglected this matter.
