novelHe Needs Me

Leng Zhiyuan's eyes turned red and hot. She fluttered her long eyelashes, and her tears were already flowing.
She stretched her hand out to cover her mouth, and she started to sob instantly.
He said that he was in so much pain that he was about to die. She felt the same. She also hurt. This kind of pain had never stopped for a single moment since she found out about his attacks.
He said that he did not know what to do. She was also in the same predicament. As she listened to him saying these words, he was a man who honoured his words. He obviously knew that he would be tied together with Han Xuan. He obviously knew that he was unable to give anything to her, but he still wanted to be together with her. This was not his style of handling matters. How much must he be pushed that he would say these words?
She was also in pain, and she felt so bad for him that she felt like dying.
Her fair finger pressed the button to end the call. She raised her head up to look at Ah Chen, who was seated in the driver's seat, as she said, "Ah Chen, stop the car!"
Ah Chen quickly let up on the gas. He looked through the rear view mirror at Leng Zhiyuan. That woman's face was covered in tears. In his impression, Ah Chen felt that Young Miss was extremely calm and had never wept before.
It turned out that Young Miss could also shed tears.
"Young Miss, you..."
"Stop the car; I want to go back!"
She wanted to go back to Zhou Yao's side.
Ah Chen froze, and he quickly shook his head and said, "I can't, Young Miss. Young Master told me that I have to bring you back. You cannot go back to Major General Zhou's side."
Leng Zhiyuan's eyes were blurry. Her small shoulders were trembling as she used her hand to wipe her tears, and she said, "But... He is waiting for me there. He needs... me now."
"Young Miss, I know that you are very upset right now. You have already lost your senses, but the matter between Major General Zhou and Han Xuan has been decided. What can you do even if you could go back? They will get married, and when that time comes, you will turn into a... third party! The third party, I do not know how Major General Zhou said it on the phone just now, but Young Miss, could you really want to turn into that kind of person? Both Young Master and I would never allow Young Miss to give up on yourself just like that."
Leng Zhiyuan shook her head. Her mind was blank. Her ears were ringing with his words. They were repeating endlessly. She felt that her heart was in so much pain as she said, "I do not care... What kind of person I may become, I do not care... In the future, what will happen? I only know that... I want to be by his side. He is very lonely and in pain right now. I do not want... him... to be alone..."
"Ah Chen, stop the car!"
She ordered him forcefully. Ah Chen hesitated for a moment. He had always been a loyal subordinate, and as a subordinate, the most important thing was not his abilities but to follow the instructions given.
Follow the commands.
Ah Chen slowly stopped the car by the side of the road.
The car was slowing down, and Leng Zhiyuan's heart was beating erratically. A voice in her heart was saying: Zhou Yao, I am here. I am here...
At this moment, a car entered her vision. The car came over from the front, and stopped by the roadside. The driver's side door was open, and a familiar figure entered Leng Zhiyuan's line of vision.
Her irises contracted; it was... Ye Ziyi.
Ye Ziyi was walking over to her.
The moment she saw Ye Ziyi, Leng Zhiyuan felt just as if a bucket of cold water drenched her from head to toe. She suddenly felt like laughing. What was she doing?
If she went back to Zhou Yao's side right now, she was still unable to do anything, right?
Dad was still lying in bed, both the Zhou and Leng families were in trouble, and as for the poison in Zhou Yao's body, the intense pain in her and Zhou Yao's bones right now, could she have to give up on everything just like that?
The true perpetrator was still uncaught and free right now. Could she let them off without paying the price?
Her small hands by her sides were tightly clenched into fists. She closed her eyes slowly and allowed her tears to flow. She still had many things to do. Zhou Yao, I am sorry...
I am really sorry...
The car stopped, and the back door of the car was open. A gust of cold wind blew inside. Ye Ziyi placed one hand on the frame of the car for support, and he bent over to look at Leng Zhiyuan, who was in the car, as he said, "Zhiyuan, are you okay?"
Leng Zhiyuan opened her eyes. Her tears were blurring her vision as she looked over at Ye Ziyi, then she shook her head sadly.
Ye Ziyi looked at the glistening tears on her face as he said, "I found out about everything that happened to Major General Zhou. Because I was worried about you, I drove over to look for you. I didn't expect to meet you on the streets so coincidentally. Where are you all headed now after stopping the car?"
Ye Ziyi looked over at Ah Chen, who was in the front.
Ah Chen's expressions were confident as he nodded his head, and he was polite as he said, "Although my Young Miss has broken up with Major General Zhou, she is still unable to get over it. Young Miss still wants to go over to the Zhou home to have a look. We were planning to stop the car and turn back to the Zhou home."
"Oh, it turns out that this was the case. Zhiyuan, you still want to go over now?"
Leng Zhiyuan shook her head and said, "Forget it... I am not going... I want to go back to Older Brother's place..."
"Zhiyuan, I will go over together with you."
"But your car..."
"Someone will pick it up." Ye Ziyi sat in the back, and he closed the door before looking over at Leng Zhiyuan worriedly. He said, "I am also worried about you. I will accompany you back home."
Leng Zhiyuan cast her gaze down sadly, then she nodded her head.
Ah Chen started the car.
...
The car cruised down the streets. Ye Ziyi was gentle as he said, "Zhiyuan, what plans do you have for the future?"
Leng Zhiyuan did not say anything, and she looked very depressed as she cast her head down.
At this moment, Ye Ziyi stretched his left arm out to cup her shoulder in a gentlemanly fashion as he said, "If you want to cry, just cry. I will lend my shoulder to you."
Leng Zhiyuan nested her head on his shoulder, and she closed her eyes gently.
Ye Ziyi patted her shoulders just as if he were gently comforting a child."Zhiyuan, sadness is only temporary. Time heals all wounds. If Major General Zhou is unable to give you happiness and a future, then you should forget him. The Zhiyuan I know is a brave person. We have to look towards the future; tomorrow would be better."
Leng Zhiyuan did not say anything, and it was just as if she had fallen asleep.
....
The car stopped before the Leng family villa. Ah Chen opened the back door. Ye Ziyi was carrying Leng Zhiyuan, who'd fallen asleep into his arms.
The door of the villa was open. Leng Hao and Ye Xiaotao had gone somewhere. None of them were around, and Ye Ziyi carried Leng Zhiyuan as they went upstairs.
He opened the door and gently placed the woman on the large, soft bed.
Ye Ziyi did not leave. He just stood there quietly as he looked at the woman who was deep in sleep. On this silent night, his eyes became bright and intense, and there was a playful smile in the bottom of his eyes, then he slowly stretched his hand out.
He used his index finger to hook a glistening tear on her face. He placed the tear by his lips to have a taste; it was bitter.
He bent over to prop himself above the woman. He looked at her from very close. Her hair was laid out on the snowy white pillow. Her small face was fair and white just like a boiled egg. Her small lips were extremely red, together with the tears that had yet to dry. Her tears were just like the dew on a rose petal, glistening and clear.
He slowly stretched his hand out to touch her small face. Her skin was very smooth, and his actions were gentle and light. He was so gentle that it was just as if he were touching the most exquisite artifact on earth.
He had a look at her cherry red lips. His deep gaze looked all smitten, and he was just like a historian handling a treasured item. He closed his eyes as he was about to kiss her red lips.
