Huo Yi pushed Xu Zi away: " Didn’t you hear me tell you to let go? Or are you planning something again?"
The strong push from Huo Yi almost made Xu Zi lose her balance, stumbling to the ground.
But her hand never let go of Ye Ranran, instead, she clutched even harder.
If she were to get into trouble, she seemed willing to drag Ye Ranran with her to the end.
Ye Ranran’s physical condition was nowhere near as good as Xu Zi’s, the forceful pull from Xu Zi unsettled her balance, causing her entire body weight to press on Xu Zi.
"Ah." Xu Zi shrieked as she fell to the ground.
"Ranran." Huo Yi rushed to pull Ye Ranran up.
With seemingly no effort, Huo Yi lifted Ye Ranran from the ground, he was surprised at her frailty.
Why had she become so weak after being apart for a while?
In order to suffer less, Ye Ranran did not resist. She did not lean into Huo Yi’s arms either. Standing upright, she asked calmly: "Can you let go now?"
Huo Yi, afraid of offending her, quickly let her go.
Xu Zi was still lying on the ground, clutching her stomach and whimpering: "It hurts, Ah Yi, I’m in pain."
"Aren’t you going to take her to the hospital?"
"Even if she dies here, it has nothing to do with me."
Ye Ranran was surprised by Huo Yi’s indifference and then laughed sarcastically. What was there to be surprised about? Back then, he was just as indifferent to her.
The boy from her memories felt like a distant past now.
"But I don’t want to see her again." Ye Ranran’s brows furrowed slightly with annoyance.
Huo Yi immediately had someone escort Xu Zi out. From beginning to end, he never spoke a word to her.
His cold demeanor brought Ye Ranran a sort of dark satisfaction, but also a touch of melancholy.
The satisfying part was that Xu Zi finally got what she deserved.
The melancholy part was that, as Huo’s mother had said, no matter what, Xu Zi loved him. Coming from love, she was not wrong, she only erred in her approach.
Even if he didn’t love her anymore, didn’t want to see her, he didn’t need to be so ruthless.
After all, they loved each other once.
"Ranran, are you okay?" Huo Yi belatedly noticed Ye Ranran’s pallor.
Was that the complexion a healthy person should have?
Her big hand had just been lifted when Ye Ranran subtly avoided it: "Brother, please conduct yourself properly."
The use of ’brother’ drew a distinct line between them.
Huo Yi’s hand dropped, a bitter smile touched his lips: "Ranran, I understand, don’t worry, I won’t interfere with you two."
Only, he couldn’t help feeling reluctant, he just wanted to be a little closer to her, to borrow a little warmth.
"No one could destroy us. But still, thanks, brother. I’m tired and need some rest."
The order to leave was clear.
Huo Yi had no choice but to let her go.
"You’ve lost a lot of weight, have you been having a hard time recently?" Huo Yi asked, pretending not to care.
"Maybe." Fatigue showed on Ye Ranran’s face.
Ever since Zhou Xian brought the latest news about Jun Mochan, Ye Ranran had been unable to sleep night after night.
Every time she closed her eyes, she would see Jun Mochan lying lifeless in front of her. No matter how much she called or shouted for him, there was no response.
And then he would disappear, and no matter how much she searched, she wouldn’t find him. She stood alone, despairingly, on a road with no visible end.
So most of the time, if she could keep her eyes open, she absolutely would not close them!
"Then you rest well, I won’t disturb you anymore!"
As soon as he closed the door behind him, Huo Yi went to find Xu Zi. In fact, he wasn’t as heartless as he appeared!
