Metropolis: My Rising Life

Chen Yi wondered whether he had heard it wrong, he fixedly stared at Yu Zixi in front of him without speaking.

A pair of deep eyes carried a kind of scrutiny, as if to pierce Yu Zixi's chest straight to let him see through.

Being watched by Chen Yi like this, Yu Zixi felt that her breathing was speeding up. She lowered her head, and the two white and delicate jade legs under the skirt twisted, appearing very uneasy.

The atmosphere in the air became a little quiet, which made Yu Zixi frightened. She lowered her head and chopsticks to hold the food on the plate, as if she was trying to hide her mood in this way.

For a while, Yu Zixi was a little worried about gains and losses.

Just agreeing directly like this, will Chen Yi feel that he is a casual person?

Will he make him hate himself?

But...but...

She was tangled in her heart and didn't know what to do.

Yu Zixi likes Chen Yi. Yu Zixi herself is quite sure about this, but she does not dare to say it.

She has a low self-esteem. Even if she is now showing how confident she is, the inferiority of living in the mountains and walking into the big city is not so easy to ignore.

Especially in front of Chen Yi, she is even more humbled.

But the young girl's sprout heart, the girl's desire for love, the urge to see the person she likes is corroding her heart all the time.

Yu Zixi doesn't think she has anything that Chen Yi can admire. She can have everything nowadays with Chen Yi's help.

After leaving Chen Yi, she knew that she actually had nothing.

There are many girls who like Chen Yi, very, very many.

Which one of those girls is not more beautiful, more temperamental, and more likely to be liked by Chen Yi than she came out of the mountains.

Saying this by yourself is just like the nasty little three in the TV series.

It's clear that Chen Yi has a girlfriend, and the other party is just joking, but why can't he control it and say something like that?

Yu Zixi doesn't know Chen Yi's private life. In her imagination, Chen Yi is a perfect man.

She seemed to be facing a worshipped god, filling Chen Yi with almost no shortcomings in her mind.

And such a man should be sincere in his feelings, and he shouldn't do something like this.

Thinking of this, Yu Zixi regrets it very much.(Read more @ mtlarchive.com)

She wanted to smile and said that what she said just now was just a joke, but Yu Zixi is not a girl who can make jokes.

I was anxious when I lowered my head, and my eyes were red, as if I would cry in the next moment.

Chen Yi was a little surprised by what Yu Zixi said, but after seeing her red eyes, as if she was about to cry, he immediately reacted and said:

"...It's very close to the Bund. After a while, please accompany me to the Bund after eating."

Chen Yi's sudden words broke the quiet and scary atmosphere just now.

Yu Zixi hurriedly said ‘Okay’, trying to suppress his beating heart, sobbed her little nose.

Chen Yi smiled, and began to chat with her. As expected, Yu Zixi quickly picked up her mood and became the shy little girl again.

Soon after the two of them finished their meal, Chen Yi called the driver Xiao Zhang and asked him to drive himself and Yu Zixi to the Bund area.

After finding a place to park, Chen Yi and Yu Zixi got out of the car, and they walked hand in hand under the characteristic streetscape of the Bund.

It's about 8 o'clock in the evening, and there are still many people on the Bund. Opposite is the neon-shining Oriental Pearl Tower and high-rise buildings, and there are endless cruises on the Huangpu River.

At the Bund, there are many tourists taking pictures, laughing and having fun, which is very lively.

It's not that Yu Zixi has never been to the Bund, and there is nothing to play in Shencheng. As long as you come to Shencheng, you will come here to see the scenery of Shiliyangchang after all.

But unlike before, she came to the Bund today with an indescribable brisk mood.

Because she was accompanied by Chen Yi.

Holding Yu Zixi's little cold hand tightly, Chen Yi put on a mask and wandered around the Bund with her.

The two of them didn't talk about anything on the video, they just talked about some interesting things about the school.

Chen Yi doesn't come to class often, and doesn't understand some things that happen in school, although Yu Zixi is not the kind of girl who can inquire about other people's gossip.

However, in the dormitory, other roommates always talk about things in the school. If they hear too much, Yu Zixi can stumble and stumble to tell Chen Yi.

"Haha! It is rumored that my private life is messy in school?"

Chen Yi took Yu Zixi to find a place to sit, and couldn't help laughing.

"Well, many people say that you have had a relationship with this senior sister, that classmate... had a relationship, and then dumped people the next day, saying that you were a scumbag."

Yu Zixi's face was flushed. She was a little shy when she said, and she would peek at Chen Yi from time to time, fearing that he would be angry.

Chen Yi didn't care about these rumors. It was probably those who were jealous of him who spread them. He suddenly asked: "...Are the girls who rumored me about the rumors beautiful?"

Yu Zi was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect Chen Yi to ask this strange question. After thinking about it, she flushed and said: "¨〃...I don't know, but I know one of the senior sisters. Quite good looking."

Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "...That's fine, if it comes out that I like ugly girls or something, then I really can't wash it out even if I jump into the Yellow River."

"...No, this is the Huangpu River in front of me. I can't clean it even after I jumped into the Yangtze River!"

Seeing Chen Yi's ridiculous expression, Yu Zixi was amused, she said strangely: "...Aren't you angry?"

"What's so angry about this. If the mouth is on someone else, just let them say go... This doesn't affect me. Maybe when I hear that my private life is so messy, I really have a bold beautiful girl to dedicate her life. ."

When Chen Yi said this, he looked at Yu Zixi with a smile but made Yu Zixi panicked. The cute little expression was about to cry again.

"I'm talking, they are right, my private life is messy, and I like good-looking girls."

Chen Yi suddenly hugged Yu Zixi's slender waist and looked at her condescendingly.

For some girls you need to be indulgent, and some girls need you to be bold. Obviously Yu Zixi belongs to the latter.

"Zixi, I like you very much. You are very beautiful and I like the type. In fact, I have been paying attention to you secretly, afraid that you will find a boyfriend in school."

"...I like your simple temperament and the persistence of not giving up even in the face of the injustice of your destiny, and relying on your own efforts to meet the difficulties."

"These excellent qualities touched me deeply."

"...I may not be a good man, and I have a purpose when approaching you, but watching your changes and seeing your life improve, I feel relieved."

Chen Yi picked up the petite Yu Zixi, and said with a chuckle: "...It's cold on the ground, your body is still too weak, sitting for a long time is not good for your body."

"...Sit on my lap."

Yu Zixi, who was a little confused by Chen Yi's words, was hugged by Chen Yi on her lap. Then, under her surprised eyes, Chen Yi bowed her head and kissed her. .
