Love is like sugar and marriage is like water

Chapter 20
At this time, Mrs. Lily saw Li Shi rushing out of the room angrily, so she came over and asked with concern——

"Young man, why did she run away? She looks so angry! What's going on? What happened between you two? Can't you just talk to her if you have something to say? You made her angry, right?"

Zhao Ji was speechless... everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly.

He was stunned as if he had been struck by a burst of lightning, still standing in the dark corner of the dark little room; or like a pitiful little piece of paper lying casually on the ground, being blown and ravaged by the storm.

After thinking about it, he really couldn't figure it out——

Before coming...he had thought about how to express and what he should say to Li Shi.

However, once he arrived in this room, everything seemed to be in chaos.

The conversation between her and him did not go in the direction he had thought before.

So much so that not all of what I wanted to express and what I should have said was said, not even one percent of it.

When he himself didn't know how to solve this thorny problem, how could this stupid date end so quickly, so carelessly, and so briefly?

"Young man, what are you doing here? Why don't you go out and chase her back...Ashi ran away in anger. With her paranoid and impulsive personality, there will really be big problems, and she will regret it then. It’s too late.”

Mrs. Lily yelled at Zhao Ji while slightly raising her permed wild eyebrows in front of the wig Liuhai, her tone of voice was unusually reproachful.

Zhao Ji looked at Mrs. Lily like a fool.

——He walked out anxiously.

He moved his legs with difficulty, walked out of Mrs. Lily's house with difficulty, and walked straight to the street of the town.

He was pale, crestfallen, dejected, and immersed in depression—extreme depression.

He met Li Shi, but he didn't think about it seriously - maybe if he thought more deeply at the beginning, the corners of his mouth would be raised a little more, and he would regret less.

He asked himself, regretting that he had... scolded himself with all kinds of reproachful words, which were in vain.

He couldn't understand the reason why Li Shi had to change their date place, and he couldn't see clearly what price she would have to pay if she went to Mrs. Lily's place.

This is what Li Shi, a thoughtful woman like her, painstakingly planned...

Why can't he keep her - why?
He and she were both youthful young people, alone and alone in that dark room with only a little light...

He was actually so bold and courageous enough to resolutely push her away from him, even scolding her for being ignorant...

How did he do it?
It should be said that something would happen between them - but nothing happened.This would destroy Li Shi's girlish dignity into a complete mess... This would not fail to make Li Shi furious and make her furious.

……

And now, he regretted it... Li Shi's beautiful and flawless appearance always lingered in his heart. He asked her to forgive him.

He recalled this cheek as pale and smooth as white marble, these shy double-lidded red eyes with tears in them...

He recalled the hair that spread around her neck like a beautiful white swan and her head being pressed gently against his chest...

He felt so uncomfortable that he was about to die...

"My dear, I am yours now..." Zhao Ji seemed to hear her low murmur again.

"I acted according to my conscience and morality and did not possess her. All this was for her future good..."

He said to himself with certainty... This was not the truth in his heart. In fact, when he faced the beautiful Li Shi, he really wanted to have sex with her...

Li Shi called him a liar and a hypocrite... because Li Shi had seen into his heart.

Does Zhao Ji hope for such an ending?No!
Did he want to break up with her willingly?No!

Could he lose her so easily?No!
Why can't you marry her?Is it because she is an illegitimate daughter, or because she is willful, eccentric, and paranoid?No, it's because he is too hypocritical——

"What's wrong with me? I'm really a lunatic... lunatic... I'm really a lunatic... not only a lunatic, I'm also a liar and a hypocrite..."

Zhao Ji hated his own weakness and kept repeating...

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and a ray of setting sun gradually disappeared into the horizon.

Night falls, hazy and sad.

Zhao Ji strode towards the B&B with a light red door where Li Shi lived.

Li Heng walked towards Zhao Ji.

"Have you made an appointment with my sister? Have you seen her? Where is she?" Li Heng asked Zhao Ji loudly and hurriedly from a distance, with a hint of roaring in his voice.

"Isn't she in this room?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Of course not, otherwise, would I ask you so anxiously?"

"She didn't come back?"

"No. It's all my fault."

Li Heng continued with a gloomy face.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't bear it. I violated the previous agreement between us. I was worried that something would happen to my sister, so I went to the 'Meet' cafe alone. I saw that she was not there."

"Ah..." "So, my sister didn't go?"

"It's true that she didn't go to the 'Meet' Cafe, but..."

"But what? Haven't you seen her too?"

Zhao Ji had to admit that he had already seen her.

"Where did you meet?"

"We met at Mrs. Lily's house. I was going to go to the 'Meet' cafe, but she sent me a message midway and changed the date. I broke up with her about an hour ago."

Zhao Ji said.

"At that time, we had nothing to talk about and couldn't get along, so I rejected her. She ran out angrily. Mrs. Lily kept scolding me and told me to chase her... I thought she had come back."

"No, she just didn't come back. I'm worried to death... So, let's wait for a while! Maybe she went elsewhere."

Li Heng said helplessly.

"I'll give her a call and ask where she is?"

They walked into the small courtyard and sat down next to each other.

Li Heng called Li Shi more than a dozen times and sent more than [-] text messages, but Li Shi didn't answer the phone or reply to the messages.

They were silent, looking at each other in agony.

They kept looking back, looking at the door painted in light red, and listened attentively to the sound of her footsteps.

However, it was replaced by disappointment...

Finally, Li Heng stood up.

"This is outrageous!"

Li Heng raised his voice and said... with the slightest hint of blaming Zhao Ji——

"Zhao Ji, do you know? I've been in a mess lately. She...how should I put it...makes me extremely anxious - let's go look for her. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Zhao Ji nodded in agreement.So, they went out.

It was completely dark outside.The stars in the sky were drowned by the night sky, silent and everything was deep and dark.The street lights are on.

"What did you say to her?" Li Heng asked as he walked, pulling down the hat until it reached the edge of his eyebrows, covering the man's handsome eyes.

"I didn't say anything! It took less than twenty minutes before and after I met her." Zhao Ji replied, "I told her what we had agreed upon."

"Isn't it?"

Li Heng asked incredulously.

"Now, Zhao Ji, we'd better search separately. This way we can find her as soon as possible. Regardless of whether we can find her or not, you will come to me in an hour and we will meet to discuss the situation."

They hurriedly walked down the stone stairs from the B&B on the top of the mountain, went straight to the street, and started searching separately.

Zhao Ji quickly visited all the streets.He looked around, hoping to find something, and even looked at the window of Mrs. Lily's house, and then returned to the small river that flowed quietly in the small town.

He ran along the river bank... Some people were walking leisurely in twos and threes.

Occasionally he saw three or four or a group of women.

At this time, he saw a woman in front of him whose back looked very much like Li Shi. He hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.

The woman turned around.

Zhao Ji took a look and saw that it was not Li Shi.The woman was extremely angry and scolded Zhao Ji: "Why did you shoot me? You scared me. You are really a psycho."

Zhao Ji quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry! I made a mistake. Your back looks like..."

The woman yelled "Get out!"

He knew he was wrong and went to look for it elsewhere.

I looked everywhere but couldn't find Li Shi.

What makes Zhao Ji distressed is no longer frustration - a secret feeling of fear and helplessness is torturing him, tormenting him, and rubbing him...

An ominous premonition lingered in his heart - what he felt was not only fear... no, what Zhao Ji felt was also regret and regret - this was the most heartbreaking regret...

Yes, this is the legendary love - tender and fragile love.

Zhao Ji felt extremely sad - his heart was cut like a knife and he was in pain...

He called Li Shi's name in the increasingly dark and hazy night——
