Chapter 48: Together into the Sea of Suffering

  In the dead of night, a round moon hung high in the sky, with clear and serene moonlight, twinkling starlight, carrying a hint of coolness. The hustle and bustle of daytime had retreated, leaving only the biting cold wind howling through the air.

  Soft moonlight casts a thin veil over the earth, stars twinkling in the sky as if telling stories of human life. Neon lights not far away flicker non-stop, and urban nightlife seems to have just begun.

  Zhang Yifei's mind was in disarray, he had never dared to hope that his parents would come looking for him, but now the old principal told him that his parents already knew he was in Lijiang and were still searching for his whereabouts.

  His heart was in disarray, a heart that had never been in disarray before, was now in disarray.

  Although Zhang Yifei's words were tough, was his heart as hard as his mouth?

  Obviously not, Zhang Yifei is also a person and has the normal seven emotions and six desires. He also hopes to see his parents and wants a warm home!

  But this was a luxury for him, and now that luxury has become reality, how could Zhang Yifei accept it.

  Although the old dean did not say who Zhang Yifei's parents were, it can be confirmed that the old dean already knew his own origin.

  Zhang Yifei's heart is now a mess, he doesn't know if he can still do what he said today when his parents appear in front of him.

  When Zhang Yifei returned "home", Shao Ningdie was already sitting at home watching TV, waiting for Zhang Yifei, just like a wife waiting for her husband to return from going out.

  Looking at Shao Ningdie, Zhang Yifei felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at Shao Ningdie at this moment. Home, he also had a home, it's just that this home didn't have the warmth he had imagined.

  "Welcome back." Shao Ningdie said with a gentle smile as she saw Zhang Yifei stand up.

  "Have you eaten?"

  "Not yet!"

  "Waiting for you!"

  Zhang Yifei was taken aback, he hadn't expected this woman to be waiting for him to come back and have dinner together, it was something he hadn't even dared to dream of.

  Zhang Yifei sat beside the dinner table, on which was a sumptuous supper of porridge, hot dishes and fried eggs. Looking at the warm and cozy room, looking at Shao Ningdie who was still busy in the kitchen, Zhang Yifei suddenly felt a sense of emotion: "It's really great to have a wife!"

  At this moment, Zhang Yifei's face revealed a smile, especially those eyes, as deep as the night sky. With restraint and sincerity, with gentleness and firmness.

  Who would have thought that this man known as the King of Killers would have such a gentle smile.

  "How come you haven't eaten yet?" Shao Ningdie walked out of the kitchen with a plate of lobster.

  "You've been waiting for me for so long, if I didn't wait for you, I would be embarrassed." Zhang Yifei swept away the gloom of just now and restored his usual carefree appearance.

  Shao Ningdie would never believe Zhang Yifei's words. As the saying goes, it's better to believe in ghosts than to trust a man's mouth!

  Shao Ningdie has always believed in this sentence.

  "Are you thinking of your friend?" Shao Ningdie asked Zhang Yifei as if she knew something.

  "En." Zhang Yifei nodded.

  "If you miss them so much, why don't you go and see them?"

  "Things have changed and people are gone, Xiaodie, don't try to deceive me with my own words. Knowing too much won't do you any good, we're not from the same world." Zhang Yifei said lightly.

  "Why?"

  "As long as I'm alive, I'll be the source of all troubles. Don't try to understand me too much, and don't attempt to enter my heart." Zhang Yifei decided that he should make things clear with Shao Ningdie today, some things can't be forced.

  After hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Shao Ningdie was stunned for a moment. This man actually said such things to her today, which was quite out of character for him.

  "I've started to like you." The words are so shocking they're to die for.

  "Really?" Zhang Yifei heard and smiled indifferently: "But I didn't plan on liking you!"

  For a moment, the two of them stared at each other, their eyes extremely sharp. Although there was no movement or speech, it made people feel the atmosphere was tense. To be precise, the atmosphere in this room was too eerie, and the entire environment was filled with undercurrents because of the two of them, making it difficult to fathom!

  "The old director told me about your situation, I hope..."

  Before Shao Ningdie finished speaking, Zhang Yifei suddenly stood up from the chair and rushed to one side of Shao Ningdie. Her movements were swift, and before Shao Ningdie could react, she was already pinned down by Zhang Yifei!

  "Even if you knew my past, your tragic flaw as a woman is that you take yourself too seriously, thinking you can be like Guanyin Bodhisattva, saving everyone with your thoughts. Don't forget, the Buddha said: 'The higher the Tao, the higher the devil.' You can't save me!"

  At this moment, Shao Ningdie's face was flushed as she stared at Zhang Yifei, and she could clearly feel the changes in Zhang Yifei.

  "Hmph!" Shao Ningdie coldly snorted.

  "You're too dangerous, if I'm with you for a long time, I'm afraid I'll lose control of myself. So from now on, don't ask about my affairs or think about how to change me or tell me what to do. I have my own path and don't need anyone to design it for me." Zhang Yifei leaned his nose into the woman's long hair, from her hair to her ear, from her pretty face to her chin, from her eyelashes to her lips. Suddenly he took a deep breath, smelling the faint scent on the woman's body.

  Zhang Yifei finished speaking and got up from beside Shao Ningdie, walking alone towards his own room.

  Looking at the full table of dishes, Shao Ningdie was stunned there.

  Although she was uncertain what Zhang Yifei had gone through, she already vaguely knew.

  Looking at Zhang Yifei at this moment, Shao Ningdie felt a pang of heartache in her heart, and the memories of her childhood slowly appeared in her mind.

  "Since I couldn't help you reach the other shore, then I'll accompany you to the sea of suffering!" Shao Ningdie said quietly in her heart.
