Xia Ying fainted on her way to the hospital. When she woke up on his bed, the sky was already bright. Looking at Zhong Zhen who was lying on the side of the bed, he did not recognize his at all.

His entire person had become haggard and haggard. His originally angular face had actually become thinner in just a month. Taking a closer look, he saw black circles under his eyes and stubble quietly emerging from his beard. Was this still that lively and cheerful handsome young man?

When Zhong Zhen woke up, the first thing he saw was Xia Ying's pained gaze. He extended his hand, grabbed Xia Ying's long hair, and brought it close to his nose to smell it. Xia Ying nodded.

The red and swollen on the right side of his face had not subsided yet, causing Zhong Zhen's heart to ache, he wanted to kill Xia Teng immediately.

Furthermore, he was only his father. Even though his relationship with his father wasn't as harmonious as that of an ordinary family, it was unlikely for him to be like this.

Thinking back to how Xia Ying had to bear all these by herself, she truly did not know how she had suffered through it.

"You've lost weight."

"Is that so? Isn't it more handsome? " Zhong Zhen touched his chin.

When Xia Ying saw that he looked the same again, she felt that the person in front of her was real, "Are you done with your work?"

"You're still not going back tomorrow? Come with me. I came back this time to pick you up." Zhong Zhen looked at Xia Ying who was sitting on the sickbed with incomparable seriousness. Indeed, she definitely could not be left alone here.

This time, she had come back in time, but Xia Ying was still injured. If she had come any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Zhong Zhen did not say anything, but only shook his head with a resolute attitude. He had no other choice, although he had already expressed his feelings towards her, but Xia Ying did not have much intentions for him, and he did not even know if Xia Ying viewed him as a mere friend. Friends, friends, really.

It was August, the hottest time in the city. Gu Yi went to the villa but he did not see Xia Ying.

It was only after seeing Zhong Zhen's bodyguard that he found out that Xia Ying was hospitalized. However, as a well-trained security personnel, they naturally did not reveal too much information to him.

He rushed to the hospital as fast as he could. When he saw the ward number, he barged in without knocking. Xia Ying was smiling the entire time, and what surprised Gu Yi was that Zhong Zhen, who was sitting on the bedside, why did he come back? Since when was he so close to Xia Ying?

Xia Ying, who had always been cold to others, did not have any wariness towards Zhong Zhen.

Zhong Zhen and Xia Ying noticed the person who entered almost at the same time, and as they turned, Xia Ying felt a little awkward for some reason. Shaking her head, he felt that she had overthought things.

"What's the matter with you? "He's actually hospitalized." Gu Yi looked at the wound on the corner of Xia Ying's mouth, and his swollen face. "What happened to his face? Wasn't it all right when I left last night? "

"I'm fine, why are you here?"

Gu Yi ignored the topic that Xia Ying intentionally changed, and walked over to sit on the other side of the bed, "Let me see, what exactly happened? Could it be this brat?! "

"Xia Ying is truly ashamed of Gu Yi's imagination. No. It's that person. "

"Xia Teng?! "Why did he appear again? You wanted to call the police when you saw him, take a look at this injury!"

"It's in. "You're too long-winded." Gu Yi shut his mouth in embarrassment. After that, he looked at Zhong Zhen, and coincidentally, Zhong Zhen was also staring at him. They looked at each other as if they understood each other's selfishness.

"I'll go buy some food."

"What do you want to eat?"

Both of them spoke up at the same time with a helpless expression on Xia Ying's face. "Anyways, you guys can go with me. I'll rest a bit more."

After sending the two away, he immediately felt good and lay down to sleep for a while.

After exiting the door, the two of them walked side by side, Gu Yi spoke first, "The matters at home have been resolved, did you save Xia Ying last night?"

"It's about time." When Zhong Zhen thought about Gu Yi's words that 'when I left last night', an indescribable rage arose in his heart. What exactly did Gu Yi want to do, to stay in Xia Ying's house so late at night?

But after all, they had known each other for so many years, so Xia Ying didn't say anything, but in her heart, she cared a lot about Gu Yi.

Although he knew all of this, he couldn't act rashly. Otherwise, Xia Ying would never forgive him.

The two of them did not say much along the way, as they both hid these thoughts.

Xia Ying was really speechless when she saw the two bring back the breakfast. Excuse me, am I a pig? Even pigs can't eat this much. "

"Eat slowly. Just try a little of each." Zhong Zhen beamed as he placed the things on the table for breakfast. Gu Yi also put down the things in his hands.

"Alright, it's about time. You guys can leave."

Naturally, the two of them were unwilling to do so. Gu Yi's phone rang. He was truly embarrassed now. Xia Ying immediately said: "You can go. See you another day."

Gu Yi was reluctant, and he repeatedly reminded her. Like this, Xia Ying could only say, "The doctor will say so, let's go."

With Gu Yi, Zhong Zhen felt much better. Now, he could not leave Xia Ying alone here. But, if she was not willing to leave, how could he persuade her to leave?

However, he still wanted to give it a try, "Come with me to France, you will always encounter some strange things here. Why don't you come back after this is over? Even if we have to take a temporary rest there. "

"You should have seen the news too. I don't want to go, and even more so can't go now. What Gu Yi said is right, I can't avoid it.

It's Gu Yi again! This person really was one. Chen Ang's problem could be considered to have been resolved, he did not know how, and now was not the time to ask, so he endured it.

"However, how could I be at ease when you face all of this by yourself? Things over there have only just begun, I can't stay by your side, it really won't work. "Come with me."

"Zhong Zhen, before I met you, I was always in this state." When Zhong Zhen heard this, all the enthusiasm in his heart was immediately extinguished by the pouring cold water. The subtext of this sentence was probably: He really isn't important at all.

Looking at Zhong Zhen who had his head hanging down, Xia Ying realized that what she was saying was too excessive, so she continued, "I can't always rely on others, I have to solve the problem myself. I've escaped, the problem is still there, and there's no way to solve it. "

His words were like a gush of wisdom. He had been like this for a long time. He felt that it would be easier to solve many problems in the future if he delayed it a little.

However, Xia Ying's words had finally woken Zhong Zhen up. But why would a woman make things difficult for herself? Zhong Zhen had roughly confirmed his feelings for Xia Ying at this moment.

"Actually, you can try relying on someone else." Zhong Zhen was very sure of his words. He only hoped that Xia Ying would one day trust him, and rely on him.

After eating dinner, Zhong Zhen finished applying the ointment on Xia Ying. The swelling on his face had receded a bit, and there were still some red marks on it.

It had been a long time since he last saw the stars. Xia Ying stood in front of the window and looked at the stars, Zhong Zhen saw that she was lost in thought, and took a piece of clothing and walked over, "You like? "Then wait for me a moment." Then he went out.

When she returned, Xia Ying was still in her original position, "I'll bring you to a place."

Xia Ying did not hesitate, and allowed Zhong Zhen to pull her all the way out. It turned out to be the top floor, and there was already a bench placed there. It's more beautiful to see the stars here. "

Xia Ying raised her head. She was indeed very beautiful. You just went out of the house for this chair? "

"Yeah, you're worth it."

Xia Ying did not speak, but instead looked at the stars. The cold wind of summer night was gently caressing her face, and the stars were flickering in and out of the darkness of the night.

People always felt that when they grew up, the stars would become fewer. In fact, it was only because they enjoyed their natural time that they had become fewer.

And the starry sky, with someone accompanying it, was truly the most beautiful of all stars. At least, that was how Xia Ying felt at that moment.

'The hypocritical light of the city covers your eyes.' So who said that a city that was too dazzling was not suitable for looking at the stars? It was ridiculous.

Perhaps, there were some people who did not need to speak too much before they would have a miraculous tacit understanding. As long as they approached each other, they would be able to sense each other. Xia Ying thought to herself vulgarly, hmm, I probably like it.

"I guess you're leaving tomorrow morning. Will he come back? "

"Come back, who asked me to be so unattractive. Since some people aren't willing to follow me, then I can only go back and gather information."

"It's too painful." Seeing Zhong Zhen's distressed look, he couldn't help but tease him.

"Because, because we are destined to be together."

A long time later, after experiencing too many things, when thinking about it again, Xia Ying couldn't help but suspect that in this vast world, after going back and forth, separating and reuniting with someone, would there really be someone who was destined to be together?

Even though he didn't believe it, he still remembered these words. The reason he wasted all his time was probably because he never gave up on this oath that didn't seem like an oath.

By the side, after Odile found out that Zhong Zhen was going to China without a care for anything else, he only wanted to see who this kind of woman, who was so worried about him, was, but in this critical period, he did not have Xue Minghuang's courage.

After so much planning, all he could do was wait for the auction. If the other party fell for the trap, then the aftermath would be easy to deal with. Only if the auction this time would cut off the other party's chain of funds, would they be able to achieve effective results in the upcoming battles.

Otherwise, it would be a game of chess with a huge disparity in strength.

Deep into the night, Zhong Zhen left the hospital. Before he left, he was already asleep. He went out quietly and left a note. " "He'll be back soon."

Xia Ying had already woken up. She reached out and took the sticky note, and holding it in her hand, she felt a very warm feeling in her heart. Some people say that the happiest thing in life is to meet the warm people, with the warm people together. Hence, at least, the current Xia Ying felt that Zhong Zhen was that warm person.

After arranging everything on Xia Teng, he also arranged for the bodyguards to stay outside of Xia Ying's room, so that they would keep a safe distance from him and not let him find out, only then did he leave.

They grew up together, and Zhong Zhen was at a loss as he accompanied him to his house. From the start, Zhong Zhen had always thought of her as a good friend, and there was almost nothing they could say.

Odile's family's influence was strong, but this little princess, who was supposed to be spoiled and spoilt as a child, didn't have a proud and domineering temperament, and always got along well with Zhong Zhen.
