I wasn't quite sure what he meant by that, but it was good that he didn't scold me. Originally, I couldn't leave him with a good impression, but at least it didn't get any worse.

I was overjoyed. I didn't expect to receive such praise from him. This really surprised me.

I sighed. As expected, it was this kind of carefree work again.

However, Print room's work was unexpectedly busy, and I almost didn't have any time to rest. I had to copy the documents one after another.

After getting off work in the evening, my four limbs didn't feel anything. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. After working for two days, I had already become like this. I didn't know what kind of torture would be waiting for me in the future.

After work, I didn't wait for Ye Junli to leave. I couldn't stay in his house forever, and if word got out, I would be the laughing stock of others.

I rode the bus back to my own home, but saw an unexpected person at the door — — Xia Lan.

Xia Lan was wearing thin clothes, but when she saw me, she immediately stood up and awkwardly smiled, "Yao Ji."

I didn't expect to see her again. I can't pretend that nothing happened to her cheating me last time. How could she still have the face to come and see me?

I looked at her coldly. "How do you know my house?"

"I... I beg Aunt An to tell me. " Xia Lan stammered.

Xia Lan is someone I am completely unable to fathom. She sacrificed herself to this extent for love, was able to stand up and save me in front of Hei Baozi, and yet she sold me out so easily.

"Why are you looking for me?" My tone was cold.

Xia Lan had already expected that I would react, so she didn't appear too surprised. Instead, she forced a smile and said: "Can we go in and talk?"

I still couldn't bear to look at her. After all, she was a poor woman, and if she hadn't been tortured by life, she wouldn't have stood in front of me so humbly begging for forgiveness.

I nodded, opened the door and brought Xia Lan in.

Even though so many days have passed, every time I return home, I still absentmindedly feel that Xiao Nian would come out from there.

"Yao Ji..." Xia Lan's voice interrupted my fantasy.

"Say it, what do you want from me?" Even though I was willing to allow her to come in and talk with her, I was not able to get her to be friendly with me. After all, what she had done to me before, if I did not think of a way to persuade Yan Yue to let me go, I didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.

"Yao Ji, are you still angry at me?" Xia Lan asked softly.

I took a deep breath and went straight to the point, "Xia Lan, I am not a saint, there is no need for me to cast a look of forgiveness towards everyone who hurts me. I also have my own life, and since you have betrayed me, you shouldn't come and win my forgiveness.

Hearing my words, Xia Lan's entire body violently trembled, and then she laughed: "I knew you wouldn't forgive me, I had already guessed it before I came … … However... I still want to give it a try. "

I still looked at her coldly.

She lowered her head and sniffed. I saw beads of tears the size of beans fall to the ground. It was no wonder that all the guests in the Demon Area liked her tune. It could indeed arouse the desire of men to protect.

"Since that's the case, I'll be leaving first. Actually, I came here today just to apologize to you. It doesn't matter if you forgive me or not …" I'm sorry for what you said to me before you left, and for the phone call I made to you that day. " After Xia Lan finished her words, she prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment." I called to her.

She stopped and looked at me expectantly.

"Why is that? What condition did Yan Yue give for you to call me? " I couldn't help but ask.

Actually, to me, the thing that made me feel the most disheartened wasn't that she had tricked me into going to Yan Yue, but that she had taken advantage of my sincerity. When I rushed to save her with an eager look on my face, she actually betrayed me to Yan Yue. This was the most incomprehensible and heartbreaking thing to me.

Xia Lan wiped away her tears, "You know that I've always been paying back those debts … Yao Ji, I'm really tired, I just couldn't wait for a man to come and pick me up, and the debt that pressed down on me is getting higher and higher. I don't know how long I can hold on, so when Miss Yan made this condition, I agreed without thinking at all … After that, I feel regret … "

Her voice trailed off until she could barely hear it.

The condition she mentioned, was that Yan Yue would use the condition of tricking me over to clear those debts for her.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she lowered her head and smiled. "Then I'll be going. I hope there won't be a chance to see you again. "

"Xia Lan, take care." I couldn't resist saying this before she left.

Xia Lan's movements paused for a moment, then she lightly nodded her head, closed the door, and disappeared from my sight.

It was only then that the tears that he had been holding back began to fall.

Actually, what rights do I have to blame Xia Lan? We are both the same, living in the lowest class, the pressure in our lives is so heavy that we can't even breathe.

As for Xia Lan, her biggest mistake was to yearn for her own happiness.

I wiped my tears away and suddenly thought of Xiao Nian.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. It was Ye Junli. I was surprised.

"Hello." I picked up the phone.

"Zhou Xiang? Where are you now? " Ye Junli's voice was still cold and distant.

"Of course I'm at home. What's the matter?"

The other party didn't reply immediately. I could already imagine Ye Junli's frowning appearance, "Zhou Xiang, I thought you might have realized it."

"What consciousness?" I don't understand.

"You want to live with me after you become my woman? What's going on with you going back to your little house by yourself?" Ye Junli's voice was filled with dissatisfaction towards me.
