Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

Mai Xiaowen stepped down from the president's desk with a dejected expression and empty eyes.

Silverwing and the others noticed it immediately.

Seeing Mai Xiaowen's bloodied appearance, Yin Yi's reprimanding words stuck in his throat, and all his words vanished upon seeing that forlorn face.

"Wheat!!!" Zoya screamed, rushing over to grope him all over. "That bastard Said! How dare he hurt you?! Aaaaah! I'm going to get revenge!"

In her panic, Zoya didn't notice that the blood on Mai Xiaowen's body wasn't hers; she assumed that Said had hurt Xiaowen.

She was furious and was about to go to the president to confront Said.

Just then, a small, cold hand grabbed her, and Mai Xiaowen whispered, "This blood isn't mine, it's Said's."

"Even if it's Said's, it can't..." Zoya said angrily, but then she froze, her cherry-like mouth forming a "口" shape, "Huh?"

"Said's? Wheat, is all the blood on you Said's?"

"Um."

Upon hearing this,

Everyone gasped, staring at Mai Xiaowen's bloodied state, and fell into deep thought.

Even the blood that splattered on Mai Xiaowen would be a lethal dose for an ordinary person.

And... what about Saeed?

Is he dead?

Did the wheat kill their newly formed business partner?

Seemingly anticipating everyone's thoughts, Mai Xiaowen tilted her head back and said coolly, "I can't kill him."

Silverwing breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried again. Would Said back out of the cooperation because of this?

Looking at the blood on Mai Xiaowen's body, he couldn't imagine what kind of injuries Said had suffered. He wanted to scold Mai Xiaowen, but when he met those lifeless eyes, he couldn't say a word.

"No, I have to go apologize." Silverwing thought to himself, and was about to return to the president's office.

However, at that moment, Im happened to come down the stairs.

"Ms. Im, may I ask about Said..." Silverwing hurriedly inquired about Said's condition.

But Im said calmly, "The boss is fine, you should leave now."

Compared to before, Im's tone was icy cold, practically screaming "Get out!"

She caught a whiff of gossip about her boss and that Mai Xiaowen, but she never expected that her boss would be the one being abused. This made her heart ache, so naturally she wouldn't give them a kind look.

"Hey, where's Xiao Kangzi?" Zoya stepped forward and asked angrily.

Upon hearing this, Im raised his eyes, and a hint of warmth returned to them.

Oh yeah, there's another boss too, and I even know his name, Bai Kang, Bai Kang... That sounds really nice.

Everyone was puzzled by the smile on Im's lips, wondering what was wrong with this woman. She was so cold just now, but she started laughing as soon as Bai Kang was mentioned.

Mai Xiaowen slightly raised her eyes, and the mention of Bai Kang finally stirred ripples in her cold heart.

A heart of Africa is enough to melt any iceberg; its value is immeasurable.

"Here, I'm here."

A voice came from the centrifugal connection, and Bai Kang arrived "late," holding a lot of trinkets in his hands.

Upon closer inspection, wow!

They were all little red.

Rolexes, pocket watches, caviar, GPS receivers, and more—they have it all.

"The centrifuge is so fat, it took a while, but I found a lot of red ones. Come on, one for each of us."

Without saying a word, Bai Kang distributed the little red envelopes in his hand to everyone.

Did Bai Kang find these little red things?

If he could, he would have preferred it, but unfortunately his drop rate remained low, with only one small gold item in the entire Liefen.

As for the little red ones in my hand, they were all taken from my secret stash.

Im felt a pang of heartache watching his eldest son squander money. He pursed his lips and thought to himself, "My eldest son is such a spendthrift. He doesn't understand the hardship of making money at all."

Zoya held the memento of Said in mid-air for a while, then happily put it away. Although she didn't need it, the gift from Xiaokangzi held a different meaning.

Bai Kang came to Mai Xiaowen.

Bai Kang paused, because Xiaomai in front of him looked like a rag doll that had lost its soul. He felt a little sorry for her, so he took the initiative to put the Rolex on her wrist and gently held her hand.

As he moved, Mai Xiaowen raised her eyelids, staring blankly at Bai Kang. Suddenly, she threw off the blanket and whispered, "Don't wear a mask in front of me."

"Um."

Upon receiving a positive response, Mai Xiaowen's mood, which had been mired in turmoil, suddenly improved slightly. Looking at Bai Kang's handsome face, she recalled the last words Said had said when he left the president's office.

Do you really hate me that much?

Do I really hate Said that much? Mai Xiaowen asked herself again in her heart.

In an instant, she had her answer.

That's for sure. She wished she could tear him to pieces, eat his flesh and blood, and that his death would be no loss.

But was the hatred really that strong at the beginning?

The answer is no. Initially, she also wanted Said dead. But not to the extent she now wants to tear him to pieces and devour his flesh.

So why has hatred increased?

Mai Xiaowen asked herself this question in her heart, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

A person who is lost and confused is weak and frail.

"No matter what happens, I will be with you." Bai Kang's gentle voice rang in my ears.

The voice, like a gentle spring breeze after rain, quietly seeped into Mai Xiaowen's heart, which was mired in a swamp.

Mai Xiaowen suddenly understood why that hatred was so intense.

Because she had someone she loved; because of love, her hatred was intense.

The trauma of her childhood made her incredibly sensitive, and her past experiences made it difficult for her to make friends with others. Even Zoya had to go to great lengths to get into her heart.

Not to mention love, which is even more precious than friendship.

The Heart of Africa symbolizes eternal and pure love.

But her spirit had been tainted; she was no longer pure, so she felt unworthy of that African heart.

She felt that Bai Kang should give that precious African heart to someone else, and Die was the best candidate.

The right time, the right place, but the wrong people.

This is the source of Mai Xiaowen's venomous hatred, as viperous as a python.

"I'm sorry," Mai Xiaowen murmured softly.

Bai Kang didn't know why Xiaomai was apologizing, and why it was so heavy-hearted.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say so much, but able to say very little.

He certainly wanted to hold Mai Xiaowen and admit that he was the very Said who caused her pain; he wanted to say that her love and hate both stemmed from him.

But he was afraid.

It wasn't that he was afraid of what kind of punishment he would receive, but rather what would happen to Mai Xiaowen. Pain and love came from the same person, and he couldn't imagine what crazy things Xiaowen might do.

The best time for him to admit his identity was actually the day Mai Xiaowen came to Yuncheng Academy, which was the day they first met.

If he had confessed then, he would have at most received a severe beating, perhaps resulting in disability, but certainly not death. Mai Xiaowen would never have killed him in front of the entire school.

Once she vents her anger, everything will be fine, and that hatred will gradually fade away.

For Mai Xiaowen, it was the right time, the right place, but the wrong people.

For Bai Kang, it was the right place, the right people, but the wrong time.

This ill-fated couple has ended up in this situation because of a single wrong decision.
