The Unending Destiny S.2

Clarifications

His entire companions whispered to each other gossiping to Lin Zi while continuing to stare cynically at her. He took the phone out of his pocket and opened his Weibo account. Both eyes widened to see something posted by a fake account there. A 3-minute video showed Lin Zi facing off and then entering Li Tian's car with a caption - Xiu Lin Zi entered Li Tian's car. Are they dating silent?-

Lots of comments there. And the whole content of his comments was a derision and insinuation. No one would agree if Li Tian was really dating Lin Zi. Generally speaking, Li Tian was like a white equestrian prince, while Lin Zi was just an ordinary girl. He wasn't even a cinderella, on what basis was expecting Li Tian's love.

2 Days had passed, yet Lin Zi was still being bullied by a friend who did not like her. The lockers are full of trash, the drawers are full of paper torn pieces. When he came home yesterday even his bicycle tire was deflated so he was forced to lead him to find a workshop.

Lin Zi was now walking down the corridor towards her class. He saw the crowd in front of the notice board. There was a man she knew in the crowd. Out of curiosity Lin Zi joined the crowd.

"I'm going to announce something" said the man in the crowd rather loudly.

The man's eyes spun around looking among the crowd. The man then walked over to Lin Zi who was standing behind and pulled his sleeves towards the middle of the crowd.

"I just want to announce that Lin Zi is my housekeeper! He's looking for a job and it just so happens that my house needs a waiter, so he works there"

"So just a waiter?!"

"He's an orphan"

"Li Tian is very good huh"

"I'd guess. Li Tian's taste was certainly not that bad"

His friend again gossiped about his work that was considered inferior in the eyes of his rich friend. The girl looked at Li Tian sharply. Both of his hands clenched and he decided to leave the crowd.

Along Lin Zi walked, every student who came across her gossiped about her job as Li Tian's servant with a condescending look. Wuhan High School is an elite school for the rich. He can attend school here because of scholarships. Without it, he would never be able to set foot in this school.

After school, Ming Yue stopped Lin Zi's footsteps.

"Lin Zi, I'm sorry. I thought you were really dating Li Tian without telling me" Ming Yue said.

"It's okay"

"I should believe you" murmured Ming Yue lowered her head. "But.. Lin Zi. If you really like Li Tian later, you should tell me, ok? It doesn't matter if you're dating her, I just want you to hide nothing from me. The men out there are so many, but my best friend is only you Lin Zi" added Ming Yue who then hugged her best friend.

"Casting again.." murmured Lin Zi saw the tire of his bicycle in the parking lot.

Lin Zi again guided his bike until a Hongqi H7 car stopped right beside him.

"Come in" said a man from inside the car with the windshield open.

Lin Zi turned her face and returned to lead her bike. Angry, ashamed, humiliated, that was how the girl whose forehead had been soaked with sweat felt. Li Tian got out of his car, chasing Lin Zi's steps. The man had now been right in front of Lin Zi's bike and Lin Zi was about to hit him.

"What else do you want to do this time? Is it still not enough to embarrass me?" said Lin Zi cynically.

"I didn't mean it that way"

Confused, I had no idea what Li Tian had to say so that the girl before him could understand his point. He only wanted to help Lin Zi, just that his way of doing that seemed wrong to Lin Zi.

"I'm just.." said Li Tian, disconnected because Lin Zi immediately denied it.

"Don't say anything else. I'm just your servant, I have no right to demand an explanation. Can you let me go now?" sahut Lin Zi with a raucous voice.

Li Tian looked at the girl who did not even return his gaze. The girl tried to avoid eye contact with Li Tian. For some reason when their eyes met, it felt even more painful for Lin Zi. It might be because of his feelings with Jing Xuan or it might be because of Li Tian who had destroyed his defense.

Li Tian was unable to say any more words. His mouth was as if it had been glued in with the strongest glue. He stepped his foot, retreating giving room for Lin Zi to pass by. He looked back at Lin Zi's back who kept away. Somehow his chest felt tight, like something was stuck. Like something is not right. Should he still explain his point? Should he pull his hand? If only Li Tian had not been silent, perhaps Lin Zi would not have needed that much of a letdown on him.

***

Tonight the atmosphere is very calm. There was no deafening siren. No silly orders.

Li Tian continued to look at his phone screen. Open a chat room with an account called Million_Pains. He typed in a few words and then deleted them. Typing again and deleting it again. He didn't know how to start a conversation with that account. Then he switched to viewing the account profile. Scroll photos and videos posted by that account. Not much, there are only about a dozen posts and none of the original photos of the account owner.

"Why didn't Lin Zi post her own photo huh?" muttered Li Tian lirih.

Silently silent Li Tian began to be curious about the girl. In this world there are people who ignore him, a handsome and rich man. In contrast to girls in general who directly pursue it or just seek attention. Lin Zi looked careless and made-up. Never try to look beautiful or look good.

Ding dong ding dong

"Oh, you clairvoyant girl!" greet a man as soon as he saw Lin Zi's face.

"Ga... the fortune-teller girl?" muttered Lin Zi brain-twisting.

"You knew my name before I even introduced myself. You're like a fortune teller" Yuan continued.

Lin Zi just smiled stiffly. Yuan here is very different from Yuan in his memory.

"Since we meet again, what if we introduce ourselves?" yuan stretched out his hand.

Lin Zi stared at Yuan's hand for a moment until he finally shook it.

"My name is Xiu Lin Zi" said Lin Zi introducing herself.

"Why don't you call me if you want to come?" said a man from behind Lin Zi.

Yuan immediately withdrew his hand and turned to approach the man. He laughed amiably by embracing Li Tian's shoulder.

"We've been friends since childhood, do I need to do that?"

"Don't get too close, I'm not gay" Li Tian said tightly and brushed off Yuan's hand.

The man wearing a plain black shirt with short creamy chinos switched to sitting on the sofa while carrying a magazine at the table.

"Are you going to stand up?" li Tian said to Yuan who was still sculpting.

Yuan looked at the astonishment. He looked at Lin Zi then turned to look at Li Tian. It was as if a huge storm was brewing. The mood feels awkward. Yuan approached Li Tian and sat down beside him.

"Li Tian's..." Yuan has not finished lata he said.

"Do you still want to stand there? Can't you see there's a guest?" li Tian said scrupulously asking Lin Zi to immediately make him a drink.

Lin Zi did not say anything and went straight to the kitchen to make him drink.

"He's just a woman, don't be so hard on him" Yuan said.

"He's just a waitress, why do you care if I'm hard or not?!" reply Li Tian who was still looking at the contents of the magazine.

Lin Zi came with a glass of cold orange juice. He put the glass on the table and almost spilled it. Fortunately, Yuan's hand was swift until the water in the glass remained safe. The atmosphere became even more awkward when Yuan's hand accidentally touched the hand of Lin Zi who was holding the glass. Yuan who noticed it immediately pulled his hand back. Li Tian looked annoyed looking at him. He threw the magazine he was holding onto the table and immediately went up to his room.

"It seems like his mood is not good. Don't put it in your heart" Yuan said understandingly.

Lin Zi simply fell silent and did not respond to Yuan's words.

"O yes Lin Zi, can I ask for your wechat?"

Lin Zi nodded and the two exchanged wechat by shaking their phones.

"I'll send you a message later. Now I want to talk to that grumpy guy first"

Yuan passed by and climbed up the stairs to Li Tian's room while Lin Zi returned to her room as all the tasks for today were done.

Yuan opened the door to Li Tian's room and walked over to the man who was now sitting leaning on his bed while watching the talk show.

"Are you in trouble?" yuan asked as he sat beside Li Tian.

"No" Li Tian replied tightly without turning his eyes away.

"Then do you like it?" asked Yuan back.

The question suddenly arrived that made Li Tian unable to think. His brain was empty and he found it difficult to find the answer.
