Chapter 211: Chapter 211 We’re Even Now
As she spoke, Su Zixi took out the keys to unlock the door, and when she turned around, she saw Ning Yichen standing at the doorway with a smile, intensifying that strange feeling.
She warned him irritably, “Don’t come over!”
“Mhm,” Ning Yichen indeed paused, smiling as he watched her.
Su Zixi hurried into the dorm, set down her things; she had planned to clean, but now with Ning Yichen outside…
She sighed and walked out of the dorm, closing the door behind her. She glanced at him and said, “Let’s go, the ATM is just across the street.”
Ning Yichen smiled, “Alright.”
Su Zixi took the lead downstairs, unable to shake the absurd feeling.
Today was supposed to be this man’s wedding day, yet, he was here in front of her…
If only He Jingyao could have descended from the heavens and said to her that he wasn’t actually angry… How wonderful that would be. But she knew that was impossible.
At this thought, Su Zixi couldn’t help but purse her lips.
She walked in silence, never looking back, unconcerned whether Ning Yichen was following her or not.
And Ning Yichen didn’t mind; he watched her slender figure, recalling how she had taken care of him in the hospital.
She had once looked at him with anticipation, she had once considered him the most important part of her life, but now, she had stopped caring completely, unconcerned with his attitude toward her, as well as whether he was grateful to her.
Ning Yichen smiled bitterly.
So this time, he must seize the opportunity!
He clenched his fists tightly.
Soon, Su Zixi led him to the ATM, “It’s here. Withdraw the money and look at the amount. Once you do, we’ll be even.”
“How could that be acceptable?” Ning Yichen said softly, “I owe you, and I must pay it all back.”
“It’s not necessary,” Su Zixi glanced at him, “I just need some cash for an emergency. Although I paid your medical bills at that time, it was voluntary, so whether you pay it back or not doesn’t really matter to me.”
Ning Yichen looked at her, his gaze somewhat moved.
He went inside, withdrew ten thousand in cash, and handed it to Su Zixi, “Take this for now, and if you need more, let me know anytime.”
Su Zixi showed delight, unabashedly taking it and stuffing it into her bag, “This is enough, thank you!”
This amount was just right for her; too much would have been inconvenient to accept.
Ning Yichen watched her satisfied expression, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down.
“Zhixi,” he finally couldn’t restrain himself and asked, “Why did you do that back then… why did you save me and then continue to take care of me afterward?”
Taking him to the hospital was something many people could do, but caring for a stranger, endlessly giving to a stranger, almost no one could do that.
Su Zixi paused, smiling nonchalantly, “I forgot… I couldn’t just watch you die, could I? I didn’t have any connections and didn’t know how to find your family.”
“Is that the only reason?” he gazed at her intently, “Was just this reason enough for me to willingly give so much?”
Su Zixi looked up at him and calmly said, “Yes, just this reason. From now on, we are even. Please go back.”
After she spoke, she turned and walked away.
But Ning Yichen suddenly caught hold of her wrist!
Su Zixi angrily said, “What are you doing?”
“Zhixi, can you… give me another chance?” he finally spoke, his voice thick with emotion.
