Chapter Twenty-Two

  Ji Xiaowan lowered her head, deliberately avoiding the two men's deep gaze. She stretched out her left wrist, unwrapped the bandage, revealing a red-purple wound. The two men's eyes sank as soon as they saw the injury, and their hearts flashed with waves of pain and intense guilt.

  Yes, Ji Xiaowan knew that they would feel guilty when they saw the wound, and it was precisely because she knew this that she did it on purpose. Originally, she didn't plan to make a big deal out of it, but she had to protect herself! Whether you say she's despicable or hateful, her goal is just to make a small request! She doesn't want much, and the request she makes won't be excessive. That's what Ji Xiaowan thinks.

  "This wound may be nothing to you, but for me, it's an unforgettable life experience."

  Two men could not understand what Ji Xiaowan meant. She was reminding them that they were the ones who drove her to cut her wrists and commit suicide.

  Yì Líng dodged her head, and the ostrich didn't dare look at her because of its guilt.

  Ye Haiyi looked straight at her wound and said solemnly, "Sorry, it's our fault."

  "It's not your fault! I know, I'm just an ordinary citizen with no money, power or family background. My parents are divorced and my mother is not capable of taking care of me. Compared to Luo Mei Yue, I'm not even in the same league. And since we've only known each other for less than a year, it's understandable that you don't trust me."

  "No, it's our fault." Ye Haiyuan had originally planned to apologize to her, but he really hadn't expected that what they did would cause her such great harm.

  "Actually, at first, my mother got me so sick that I almost died in my own home. When you two appeared and saved me, I thought you were already my friends." Ji Xiaowen said this, and the two of them looked at her with joy, but then she continued, "But you didn't treat me like a friend. You didn't trust me, that's fine. But during that dinner, it was clearly Taili who slapped Lu Mei Yue, yet you believed Lu Mei Yue and Taili's lies instead of listening to my explanation."

  "You didn't explain." Ye Haiyuan pointed out the fact.

  "At the beginning of dinner, even if the location was a bit remote, I thought there would be at least one or two people who would notice what happened at our table. But you didn't even ask for an explanation, and directly beat me to death with a stick. Tell me, if I had explained it back then, would you have believed me?"

  Just like just now, she said all the facts in one breath and asked them five if they believed it or not, but the answers were all disbelieving!

  Ye Hai remained silent for a moment before saying, "It was my mistake."

  "And besides, that night when you forced me to apologize, I also said it then, I didn't do it, and I'm not willing to apologize."

  Two men closed their eyes directly, Ye Haiyin bit her teeth, "It's all my fault. Xiao Wan, don't say anything more." If they continued to talk, it was estimated that none of them would be able to sleep tonight.

  The little girl is really ruthless, they just don't want to mention the past again, but she insists on making them face the fact! They did something wrong to her, the fact that she cut her wrist and committed suicide!

  Xiao Yatou is rubbing salt into their wounds! Every sentence she utters, every matter she brings up, seems to be digging out their hearts and tormenting them for a long time.

  Ji Xiaowan knew she had gone a bit too far, but she couldn't help it. "Actually, I want to forgive you all," she said, "but thinking about what happened before and the revenge you took on me, I really don't know how to forgive you."

  Two men stood silently, listening to Ji Xiaowan's words, and clenched their fists one after another. They were very frustrated, so frustrated that they couldn't bear it! They thought that if Ji Xiaowan had asked them five times whether they believed her or not just now, they shouldn't have hesitated, but directly followed her blindly and said they believed her words. Then the situation wouldn't be as bad as it is now!

  Yi Ling still didn't dare look at Ji Xiao Wan and remained silent, continuing to act like an ostrich. He handed over all the speaking rights to Ye Hai Wei.

  Ye Haiyu was silent for a long time before he let out a sigh, "Xiao Wan, speak up, what do you want? Whatever it is that we can do, we will definitely help you achieve it."

  Ji Xiaowan had said so much before, actually just waiting for Ye Haoyu's sentence. Finally, she was relieved to hear Ye Haoyu's words and said, "My request is actually very simple."

  "What is it?" Ye Haiwei slightly narrowed his eyes and asked.

  "If possible, I don't want to have any contact with you guys again. It was because I got too close to you guys that Luo Mei Yue took revenge on me before, so I really don't want to have anything to do with you guys anymore. I just want to quietly finish high school and then go to university, graduate and work."

  This girl, it turns out she was thinking of this all along!

  Ye Haiyi and Yi Ling suddenly understood.

  Ji Xiaowan said so many words that made them feel guilty, just to push them away and let her live a carefree and happy life alone!

  The little girl's abacus skills are quite impressive!

  Yi Ling's face turned red with anger, clearly displeased, but he didn't want to speak up because he knew that if he did, he would lose his temper and end up like Ye Haiwei, calmly negotiating with her. He was sure that if he used brute force to solve everything, Ji Xiaowan wouldn't dare mention any conditions, but this way, Ji Xiaowan's heart would also be pushed further away. Yi Ling knew that he couldn't do the "good guy" act, so he let Ye Haiwei take over, just like how the "bad guy" role was always played by someone else, with Ye Haiwei never taking action personally, and everything being done by Yi Ling instead.

  Yi Ling's thoughts were also Ye Haiyi's thoughts. But Ye Haiyi had just said that as long as they could do it, they would definitely do it!

  What's said can't be unsaid!

  Ye Hai slightly moved his brain, thought for a long time, and said, "Xiao Wan, I know you don't want to see us, but we are in the same school, and there will be opportunities to meet occasionally."

  Ye Haiyuan only wanted to overthrow Ji Xiaowan's proposal, and Ji Xiaowan was naturally unwilling to agree. "It doesn't matter, as long as you all keep a distance of five steps from me. I don't want to talk to you, and you shouldn't take the initiative to come find me to talk either. This way, we'll all get along peacefully."

  Wow! Ji Xiaowan gave them a five-step command! From now on, they can't touch her, kiss her, or bully her! This girl's methods are really ruthless!

  Ye Hai's mind moved quickly, and in the end, he decided to use a policy of delay, using gentle tactics to soothe the prickly rabbit.

  Ye Hai nodded and replied, "I know, from now on we will absolutely not approach you within a five-step range."

  Yi Ling's eyebrows were furrowed in distress, clearly he had a lot of opinions about Ye Haiyi's decision, but he endured it and didn't make a scene on the spot. The reason wasn't just because of the scar on Ji Xiaowan's hand that made him feel deeply guilty, there was another reason - that photo! If he hadn't taken that photo with ill intentions back then, Ji Xiaowan wouldn't have been driven to this state! Yi Ling couldn't escape his responsibility in this matter, he was an accomplice, Ye Haiyi at most could be considered a accessory to the crime. Calculating it, his responsibility was greater! Therefore, Ye Haiyi made the decision for him, Yi Ling had no right to object!

  Ji Xiaowan won another beautiful victory! Tonight, she can finally sleep soundly and wait for the brilliant dawn of tomorrow!

  That night, Ji Xiaowan slept sweetly, but the two men sat on her bed, one on the left and one on the right, staring at her sleeping face like wolves, sleepless until dawn!
