Xue Dan’s smile made Jiang Sui feel chilled, and her words made her feel even colder.

The hand that was holding Xue Dan's arm slowly slipped down.

kneel...

Jiang Sui secretly asked himself in his heart, should I kneel?

Is this woman trustworthy?

However, if she didn't look for Xue Dan, she seemed to have no other choice. This was all she could do for Si Nian.

If she can't convince Xue Dan, what should her Si Nian do?

He has a stain on him and refuses to be with me, let alone leave me.

Thinking of his situation, she felt extremely sad.

At this moment, there were two voices competing in Jiang Sui's heart.

A voice told her: Jiang Sui, you can’t kneel. You haven’t even kneeled to your own mother, so how can you kneel to others?

But another voice at the other end of my heart refuted it and said: Jiang Sui, kneel down. As long as you kneel down, Si Nian will still have a glimmer of hope.

What should she do?

At this time, Jiang Sui was in great pain.

Seeing that Jiang Sui was frowning and hadn't responded, Xue Dan lost his patience.

She snorted and said sarcastically, "Isn't he the one you love? You can't even do this for the one you love? Your love is just this! If you don't want to, forget it. I don't want to waste my time with you."

After saying this, Xue Dan started to leave.

Instantly, Jiang Sui called out to her, "Xue Dan!"

Xue Dan turned around and smiled at her.

If you don’t know her, you will be mesmerized by her charming smile.

But Xue Dan's smile made Jiang Sui more sober.

She knew her too well now.

Who is Xue Dan?

A mercenary woman.

Now Jiang Sui would only help Si Nian if he met her demands, made her satisfied, and then promised her huge benefits.

Jiang Sui bit his lower lip until it turned blue and finally made up his mind.

She spoke again, her voice low but with unusual tenacity, "Okay, I'll kneel! But remember your words, if I kneel, you have to help him!"

Xue Dan still smiled, and that smile was even more charming and attractive.

Jiang Sui just felt more and more depressed.

Jiang Sui raised one leg and slowly took a step forward.

Just this one step, she seemed to have exerted all her strength.

Her slender calves seemed to weigh a thousand pounds at this moment, and were numb and stiff.

Then she struggled to shift her center of gravity onto the leg that was moving forward, and the other leg gradually bent and sank.

Feelings of pain, grievance, and embarrassment all flooded into her heart at once, and her eyes slowly filled with tears.

For Si Nian, she can endure anything!

With such a firm strength in his heart, Jiang Sui's hind legs fell rapidly.

When one of Jiang Sui's knees was about to touch the ground, someone lifted her up by her elbow.

After Jiang Sui stood firm, he felt a tall figure standing beside him.

When she tilted her head to look at the man, he said something with a voice as cold as an ice blade.

"Don't kneel her!"

She saw clearly that it was Si Nian.

Why is he here?

Jiang Sui was a little flustered and immediately reached out to wipe away the tears from his eyes.

Si Nian was looking directly at Xue Dan at this moment, with an emotion rising in his eyes.

Jiang Sui couldn't understand what it was, but he felt that the look was like ice and fire, which could freeze a person in an instant, and also turn a person into ashes in an instant.

Xue Dan smiled, and this time her smile was even more arrogant.

"Si Nian, you are here! Your little lover has come to me to ask for help time and again. You have seen that in order to achieve her goal, she even knelt down before me! She also said that as long as I help you, she will come to persuade you to marry me and enter the Si family after the matter is over."

Xue Dan spoke the next sentence word by word.

It felt like a needle pricking Si Nian's heart.

He looked at Jiang Sui in disbelief, as if seeking confirmation from her.

Jiang Sui shook his head.

No, she didn't think so. She said that just as a temporary measure to bribe Xue Dan.

But she couldn't utter a single word to explain it to him now.

Si Nian saw Jiang Sui pursing her lips, not saying anything and just shaking her head, so he didn't wait for her to say anything.

He looked straight at Xue Dan.

"Except for this, I can agree to any other conditions as long as you are willing to tell the truth again."

Si Nian's voice was cold and deep, and seemed more powerful than ever.

Xue Dan walked towards Si Nian, stood in front of him, and smiled softly.

"But this is my only condition. No other conditions can attract me, except you marrying me!"

While speaking, Xue Dan's index finger was about to fall on Si Nian's face, as if deliberately teasing him.

But Sinian moved very quickly and ruthlessly waved away the hand that was about to touch his skin.

"Xue Dan, remember, I will never marry you even if I have to live with this stigma on my back for the rest of my life."

Si Nian said this with a cold and resolute look, then he pulled Jiang Sui and turned away quickly, leaving Xue Dan looking at their backs in surprise.

Jiang Sui was pulled by Si Nian and walked quickly for a long time. He didn't say anything and he didn't look back at her.

Jiang Sui didn't know where Si Nian was going to take her. She was a little panicked. Si Nian seemed very angry.

She licked her dry lips and called Si Nian in a low voice, "Brother..."

Si Nian acted as if he didn't hear anything. He didn't respond at all, and his pace didn't slow down at all.

He had long legs, big steps, and was very fast, so Jiang Sui had a hard time keeping up with him.

She had to be almost pulled by him to barely keep up with him.

He held her wrist tightly, and she felt some pain. She couldn't help but called him softly, "Brother... my hand hurts..."

At this moment, Si Nian's steps suddenly stopped. He turned around and took a look. The white wrist he was holding had turned slightly red.

Si Nian let go of his hand, frowned tightly, and looked at Jiang Sui.

Jiang Sui rubbed her red wrist with her other hand, and Si Nian's eyes suddenly fell on her fingers again.

The finger that Jiang Sui had been pinched by the door before has now scabbed over and the swelling has long gone down, but there is still some bruise and it still looks purple.

She saw Si Nian staring at her hand, and was afraid that he would become suspicious, so she wanted to immediately put away her injured hand, but Si Nian suddenly grabbed it.

He looked straight into Jiang Sui's eyes and asked Jiang Sui in a cold voice, "How did you get your hands and face injured?"

Jiang Sui's heart tightened, and he still had doubts.

Jiang Sui avoided looking at Si Nian.

She answered hesitantly, "No, didn't I tell you, the door was closed."

Si Nian glanced to the other side, sighed after a moment, and turned to look at Jiang Sui.

"Are you still not telling the truth? Did you go to her to get it?"

Jiang Sui had no way of refutation as Si Nian had guessed it right. She could only lower her head silently and remain silent.

Seemingly dissatisfied with Jiang Sui's attitude, Si Nian let go of her hand and began to question loudly, "Why did you go to find her? I've already said that I will handle my own affairs. I told you not to worry about it. You should just study hard and prepare for studying abroad. Why don't you listen to me?"

Jiang Sui lowered his head, tears streaming down his face, hitting the bluestone floor and scattering into small flowers.

But she still kept silent, and Si Nian had no way to deal with her.

He was angry again and could only yell at her harshly.

"Jiang Sui, say something!"

This was the first time Jiang Sui heard Si Nian yell at her so harshly.

She looked up at Si Nian in disbelief.

The grievance, depression, and pain in my heart surged up at this moment and all turned into knives, cutting Si Nian and myself.

Jiang Sui tilted his head with tears on his face, stared at Si Nian fiercely and murmured, "Why did I go to her? Don't you know? Seeing you in pain, I will also feel sad; seeing you suppressing yourself all the time, I can't help but feel suffocated. It's because I want you to be free as soon as possible, so I am a slut and take the initiative to run to her to be abused!"

As he spoke, Jiang Sui lowered his head and wiped the tears from his face, then looked at Si Nian again.

It was already dark at this moment. There were no street lights where they were standing, and the light from the street lights in the distance was a little dim.

Jiang Sui seemed to see something sparkling in Si Nian's eyes.

She didn't bother to think about what was in Si Nian's eyes. At this moment, she felt as if she had lost all strength and her shoulders drooped.

She whispered to Si Nian, "I understand. I will never care about your affairs again. Never again."

After saying that, she turned around and walked away step by step, getting farther and farther away from Si Nian.

Si Nian stood there, watching Jiang Sui gradually disappear into the endless night in the distance, but his legs were stiff in place and he couldn't take a step to keep her.

He didn't know how long he stood there, and finally he dragged his tired legs back to the store.

After entering the room, he closed the rolling door and locked it, then sat on a chair on the first floor.

The room was dark and he had no intention of turning on the light.

His heart is in a mess now.

He doesn't know if his stubborn persistence is still meaningful?

Things were not making any progress, he was in pain, and Jiang Sui was in pain too.

But it seems that he can't stop thinking so much and do it regardless of the consequences.

what to do?

He seemed to be stuck in a dead end and couldn't find a way out.

Just when he was at a loss and his mind was in chaos, the roller shutter door at the door was smashed with a loud bang.

Si Nian was startled, and the first thought that came to his mind was that the gang of overstepping authority (big gold chain) had come again, and he was really in no mood to deal with them.

He simply kept quiet and pretended no one was around, at least he could drag it out for a day.

But the sound of banging on the door never stopped, and it made his ears hurt.

Finally, he had no choice but to get up and open the door.

The rolling door slowly slid up, and when Si Nian saw the thin figure standing in front of the door, he was stunned.

It’s Jiang Sui!

He remained silent, not knowing what to say.

He didn't expect that even though she was so angry with him and ran away, she would still come to the store to find him.

Jiang Sui didn't say anything. At this moment, her eyes were red and a little swollen from crying.

She walked past him, entered the room, and with the light coming through the door, she ran straight to the stairs, went upstairs, and turned on the light.

Jiang Sui stood in the small living room on the second floor for a while before he heard the heavy "dong dong" sound of the iron stairs at a very slow frequency.

It seemed like another minute had passed before she saw Si Nian appear on the second floor.

He stopped at the stairs and said nothing.

Jiang Sui stared at him for a while, and said to him in an unusually calm voice, "I came back to see you because I have a few questions to ask you. After I've asked you, if you still make the same choice, I won't bother you again."

Si Nian kept his eyes down with a complicated expression.

Jiang Sui took two steps towards him, stood in front of him, and looked at him with sharp eyes.

"Si Nian, look me in the eyes and answer me..."

Jiang Sui's tone was gentle, but it was unquestionable.

Si Nian could only raise his eyes and meet her gaze.

She asked him slowly, "You like me, don't you? Not the kind of love that a brother has for his sister, but the kind of love that a boy has for a girl, right?"

Si Nian frowned slightly and looked straight at Jiang Sui. There was a struggle in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he spoke. His voice was low, deep and extremely firm.

"yes!"
