Chapter 14 - Are You Always Like This?
"You can't blame me for what happened because she is the one who didn't dodge my attack, so it's her fault not mine, Ok? And hey, you were fighting so well earlier, so why didn't you dodge my attack earlier?" Yixian asked angrily.
"Brother Yixian, you can't blame her for that. How would she have known that you would suddenly launch an attack on her? And brother Yixian, she is my saviour, so you can't treat her in this manner again," Jingxian reprimanded her brother coldly before she turned and faced Yang Zi. "Zi Er, how are you? Does it hurt badly?" Jingxian asked as she quickly helped her to the couch.
"Jingxian, you shouldn't get mad at your brother because it was my fault for making him angry. I bet he is mad at me because I am friends with you," Yang Zi said sadly before she turned to address Yixian.
"Mr. Zhou, it is all right if you don't like me being friends with your little sister. I completely understand the fact that you can't stand an annoying lady like me. I am so sorry if I had offended you," Yang Zi said pitifully as a drop of tears fell from her eyes. Shiyi who was watching this scene through the lenses applauded his best friend for being such an excellent actress.
"Hey! Young lady, why are you saying all this? I don't remember ever telling you I dislike your association with my sister, so stop spewing nonsense," Yixian said provoked.
"Zi Er, although you are cold and hot-tempered, I know you are not a troublemaker, so you don't have to apologise. And brother Yixian, you don't have to say the words out loud for her to know that you don't like her for me. I like Yang Zi very much and I will not cut ties with her even though you are against my friendship with her because I can only be my true self whenever I am with her. You will get to know that she is a very fun person when you relate with her more. I will take her home now," Jingxian said with a tone of finality as she helped Yang Zi up to her feet.
"Jingxian, you don't have to get mad at me because of this and to assure you that I don't object your friendship with her. I will personally drive her home on your behalf so are you happy now?" Yixian asked curiously, letting Yang Zi lean on him.
"Ok, brother Yixian, take care of Zi Er on my behalf. Convey her to the hospital if her condition worsens," Jingxian told her brother in a serious tone. She focused her gaze on Yang Zi once again. "Zi Er, I will definitely check up on you tomorrow. Take care of yourself," Jingxian said affectionately, bidding them goodbye. Yixian drove off afterwards.
A few minutes into their journey, Yixian who has been stealing secret glances at the supposed asleep Yang Zi broke the dead silence in the car.
"Hey lady, why did you act as though I was the bad guy earlier when I was only talking to you before the incident occurred?" Yixian asked sternly as he drove.
"It's Yang Zi not hey lady," Yang Zi, who was closing her eyes with her back fully resting on th car seat corrected him sternly.
"Are you always like this? You are so darn rude," Yixian said coldly as he threw Yang Zi, whose eyes were still closed, a piercing glare. Yang Zi pretended as if she did not hear him and kept quiet.
"Is this your way of gaining my attention? If that is it, then I guess your plan is successful? Although you are so rude, I still find you interesting. You are not as boring as other ladies who always fall for my charms whenever they see me. Is what you told Jingxian really true?" Yixian asked curiously, feeling uneasy that the lady was still ignoring him despite all his efforts to make her speak to him.
"I told Jingxian so many things, so which one of them are you referring to? You don't expect me to read your mind to know what you meant," Yang Zi replied rudely. Yang Zi knew for a fact that all men disliked being treated in this manner but she couldn't careless about his feelings. Despite the fact that Shiyi was screaming over the earpiece for her to seduce the guy, she ignored his instructions. She didn't want to look cheap in his presence no matter what and besides she knew that Yixian would not fall for her if she just threw herself at him shamelessly.
"Is it true that a pretty lady like you is single? Your beauty alone is enough to make any man go crazy for you so why are you still single?" Yixian asked as he parted the hair that was attempting to cover her face.
"Yeah you are right about that but there is one man I know who hasn't gone crazy over me, despite the fact that I have been with him for about two months now," Yang Zi thought as she slowly opened her eyes when she felt that the car had come to a halt.
"And who the hell is this goddamn man who can control his little thing down there when he is with an angelic beauty like you? I bet he must be a gay," Yixian said pretending as if he was angry.
"Why do you even care? You will just be wasting your precious time if you said that you like me because I don't give a damn about jerks like you who hurts vulnerable women given the slightest opportunity. I will leave now if you don't have anything else to say," Yang Zi said coldly coughing in the middle of her sentence while touching her chest with a pained look on her face. Yixian who had previously wanted to threaten her held her hand caringly when he saw that she was still in pain as a result of the previous incident.
"Yang Zi, I can take you to the hospital if it still hurts and don't worry I was not intending to ask you out just yet," Yixian said holding unto her hands but Yang Zi quickly yanked her hands out of his grip as if Yixian was diagnosed of an infectious disease.
