The courtroom remained tense.
Song Zhizhi gave Yi Wenhan a cold stare, not interested in his sophistry or wasting time.
She spoke again, “The video only lasts 5 seconds, everyone might wonder why? It’s simple, because the details before and after carry the unspeakable secrets of this case, so they were deleted. I’m aware that the law requires clear facts, which I admit I lack for now. I tried to restore the video, but unfortunately, someone has used high-tech to protect it, and I can’t recover the full video for now, unable to accuse you of perjury for Nie Xiaofei. To put it bluntly, I can’t sue you.”
“I didn’t…” Yi Wenhan finally heaved a sigh of relief, yet was still overawed by Song Zhizhi’s bravado.
“Yi Wenhan, watch your words, the more you say, the more mistakes you might make. Just because I can’t restore the video now doesn’t mean I never will. I believe in the progress of technology, and I will eventually regain the lost video. So I advise you not to be too confident in your speech!”
At that moment, Yi Wenhan was hit back by Song Zhizhi again, his anger rising, yet powerless to fight back.
Song Zhizhi began, “The reason why I choose this moment, in such a respected place, to confront Yi Wenhan even knowing I can’t sue him, is not to waste everyone’s time, but to clarify one thing in court – a place where lies can’t be uttered.”
Again, all eyes were on her.
It seemed that Song Zhizhi took a deep breath at that moment, slowly saying, “I want to clarify that I
do not love Yi Wenhan. I’ve said this many times before, yet apparently no one believes me.
Therefore, right now, I’d like to state solemnly to the judge and everyone present here, I don’t love Yi Wenhan. I only love Ji Baijian!”
Her firm declaration seemed to echo throughout the courtroom.
The man being confessed to sat in the audience, his deep eyes focused on Song Zhizhi the whole time.
She summoned up her courage, speaking righteously.
A bit cute, a bit coy.
He hooked up the corners of his lips.
His smile warmed his features.
Probably it was the only moment that Ji Baijian, such a man, would strike as approachable in his lifetime.
“So please, stop speculating about my feelings. I’m saying this out loud here, in the courtroom, because everything said here has legal binding. I’m willing to put a legal label on ‘I love Ji Baijian’.”
Song Zhizhi finished.
Her voice was still loud, even though her face had turned beet red.
Expressing her feelings in front of so many people, no matter if she’s lived another lifetime, even wearing the face of her in her 30s, she’s not stoic.
At that moment she didn’t even dare to look at Ji Baijian.
She had no idea what his reaction would be, didn’t know if he would laugh at her, or remain as aloof as usual. Biting her lip, her ears turned red, the earlobe peeking out from the hair, under the light, was so red it seemed translucent! It was even adorable enough to make people want to taste.
Ji Baijian swallowed slightly.
He still… kept his silence, but it was not difficult to see that he was blooming inside.
so.
He had been confessed to, in a legally binding manner..
