It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

This was like Zhou Yinghuai being fed a mouthful of shit in the sweltering summer heat.

I rushed over in the sweltering summer just to apologize to Zhu Xi.

It's just that the brothers have had very poor chemistry over the years.

Sheng Xiali had no idea what Zhou Yinghuai was thinking.

Actually, it's not a big deal.

The courtyard they are living in now is a newly opened one of Fengle Valley, and a girl who is troubled by love has moved in.

Her boyfriend, a firefighter, proposed to her in this courtyard.

She agreed, and the two agreed to hold their wedding in Fengle Valley.

The next day, her boyfriend received orders to be dispatched urgently, but unexpectedly encountered an accident during the mission and sacrificed his life.

The girl came from a bad family and only realized how wonderful it is to be loved after meeting her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend's sacrifice was too much for her to bear, and she also had to face the complaints from her parents, who favored sons over daughters, and her boyfriend's parents. She soon had suicidal thoughts.

The girl lived alone in Fengle Valley for half a month.

On a rainy night with torrential downpours, he swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills and committed suicide by cutting his wrists.

Fortunately, a security guard on night patrol came to check the electrical circuits, found the girl, and promptly took her to the hospital.

Several years have passed since then.

Fenglegu would transfer a sum of money to the girl's card every month.

Since then, the courtyard has basically been empty of guests.

That's why Sheng Xiali was so surprised when Zhou Yinghuai suggested staying here.

Zhu Xi wasn't stupid; she quickly extracted useful information from Sheng Xia's brief words.

Everything that happened that day, all the fragments of conversation, strung together into a long line.

Zhu Xi understood.

If that line was just a conjecture, then the regret on Zhou Yinghuai's face at this moment is irrefutable proof.

"Sister Xi, it's not what you think."

Zhu Xi laughed, her shoulders shaking, and then she burst out laughing.

Their gaze shifted from Zhou Yinghuai's fearful and handsome face to Sheng Xiali.

"Boss Sheng, don't be nervous." She paused, then looked at Zhou Yinghuai again, "Are you trying to tell me that all that nonsense about blind people having tough lives and no heart is utter bullshit?"

"Is it right?"

Zhou Yinghuai was unsure whether his reply was right or wrong.

Zhu Xi smiled at him and said, "I appreciate your kindness, really."

She glanced down at her watch. "Zhou Yinghuai, besides my brother, you're the first person who's gone to the trouble of letting me know that someone with a strong will has no taboos. You'll be staying here tonight. If you're scared, sleep on the floor in the master bedroom."

"Sister Xi, I..."

Zhu Xi tiptoed and peered into his eyes.

Her eyes were moist, clear, and bright.

"Zhou Yinghuai, thank you. My brother took me to a haunted house back then, and now you've brought me to a haunted house."

She smiled, and her tiptoes landed back on the ground.

"I'm tired, I'm going to catch up on my sleep." Zhu Xi turned and walked back to the master bedroom, smiling as she looked back at Zhou Yinghuai and said, "I should be able to sleep until tomorrow morning. I won't eat dinner, you guys go ahead with your work."

The wooden door slammed shut.

With a thud, it struck Zhou Yinghuai's heart.

Realizing he had caused trouble in the sweltering summer, he made a hasty retreat.

Once on the shuttle bus, he immediately called Zhou Lingyi for help.

Zhou Lingyi didn't answer, so he called Lan Qi instead.

The couple had just reconciled when the overseas phone rang twelve times.

Lan Qi's voice was hoarse and unhealthy as he impatiently said, "In the middle of summer, you'd better have something incredibly important to do!"

In the sweltering summer: "Stop fucking being a simp, where's my little sister Lingyi?"

Zhou Lingyi's voice wasn't very good either; she tried her best to suppress it, but it still sounded like a cat's, "Speak."

Hearing his emotions build up in the sweltering summer heat, he shouted urgently, "Lingyi, your brother and sister-in-law are getting a divorce!"

Zhou Lingyi, her nightgown draped down to her waist, kicked away Lan Qi, who was beneath her, hooked the shoulder strap, and raised her voice an octave higher, "Who! Is it that blind sister of Lan Qi who went to the hospital to see my sister-in-law again?"

Zhou Lingyi was caught in the crossfire; the flush on her face had not yet faded, and her wet eyelashes pressed down on her angry eyes.

He kicked Lan Qi in the face again, yelling, "Get out!"

In the sweltering summer, instead of addressing the main issue, she only told Zhou Lingyi that Zhu Xi now had a very bad impression of her brother.

His words and actions completely absolved him of any responsibility.

"Is your brother out of his mind? How could he have thought of taking Zhu Xi to that courtyard?"

Zhou Lingyi, with her easily provoked temper, didn't think things through. "I've always said my brother's a blockhead! He deserves to be single forever!"

In the sweltering summer: "That's right, I can't teach him even if I try."

Zhou Lingyi felt sorry for her brother, "What should we do? I really like my sister-in-law."

In the sweltering summer, another mischievous trick was hatched: "Your brother is attending Lou Yan Hui's wedding tomorrow, so how about..."

A peaceful night.

As dawn broke, a few drops of rain fell sporadically.

Zhu Xi slept for a long time.

When I opened my eyes, I stared at the sunlight filtering through the curtains for a long time.

She paused for a moment, then picked up her phone from the bedside table and glanced at it.

There are several unread messages.

My brother congratulated me on my flight back home, and Su Daiqing and GG also sent some boring group messages.

Zhu Xi only glanced at Su Daiqing's barking dog, but didn't reply.

Press the electric button by the bedside, and the curtains slowly open to both sides.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the scenery is beautiful, with scattered flowers mixed with green grass, bathed in the morning sunlight of midsummer.

Such a beautiful view made her forget what had happened yesterday afternoon.

The tranquility of the suburbs allowed her, a mere hospital worker, to find the greatest and most comfortable relaxation.

She took out her camera, intending to capture the fresh and beautiful side of nature.

Suddenly, a handsome, tall man exuding masculinity entered the frame.

Zhou Yinghuai returned from his run, his skin glistening with a light sheen of sweat, his muscles captivatingly defined.

Zhu Xi stared at the screen, mesmerized.

The man, who unexpectedly became part of the scenery, stretched out in the light and shadow. As he moved about, Zhu Xi couldn't help but smile.

This man is his.

This arrogant thought flashed through her mind, and Zhu Xi loosened her right hand, causing the phone to fall onto the soft brocade quilt.

No.

She shook her head frantically.

What Zhou Yinghuai wanted in his wife was a woman who didn't love him, didn't like him, and wouldn't affect his career.

A person who only holds a nominal position and helps others out of trouble.

Zhu Xi patted her cheeks, forcing herself to calm down, just like her heartbeat and brain.

"Zhu Xi, you're going to be the dean."

"You can't break the contract."

"Such a respectable man is good enough to look at and enjoy."

She was engaging in self-stimulation, her eyebrows dancing and her expression lively.

Zhou Yinghuai was in the courtyard and saw everything.

I also saw that she had it in her hand at some point, and held it high, with the camera pointing right at his phone.

He smiled.

With bent knuckles, he gently tapped on the window.

"Sister Xi, you're awake?"

Zhu Xi, caught red-handed, stared wide-eyed.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Zhou Yinghuai opened the window from the outside, and with a light leap, jumped in.

As she approached the bedside, Zhu Xi came to her senses.

"Don't come any closer!"
