Chapter One 

Misfortune is Always Around the Corner (Part 4)

Since young, Tian Jingzhi always thought that when she grew up and moved out, her life would be different. For example, skipping out on Ms. Qiu Meiyun's hellish celebrity training plan. And no longer would her ‘Detective Conan’-like father ask about every interaction she would have with the boys at her school. 

But now she clearly understood that even without her parents by her side, she was destined to live a difficult life.

She had been wrong from the very start. The idea of proposing to Li Yanzhi was simply stupid beyond belief. She deserved retribution as such an immodest woman. And she should have accepted the "Xie Lingli effect", her boyfriends can't escape the fate of being robbed by her. So she should quickly save enough money and go to a planet without Xie Lingli. Or the easiest and most environmentally friendly way would be to push her into the middle of the road.

However, this idea was vetoed as soon as it popped up. Forget it, it was not worth ruining the rest of her life because of a single woman. How old did she think she was?

Homicide would always be discovered sooner or later.

Tian Jingzhi, strutting in high heels, made her way towards her home. As soon as she reached her door, she saw a ‘watchdog’ squatting on her steps. Hearing footsteps, he raised his head happily. When he saw Tian Jingzhi's stern face, he looked back down, holding the corners of his trousers like a child who was afraid of being scolded after doing something wrong.

She was going to treat him as air. In fact, Li Yanzhi ran to the hospital every single day, but she refused to meet him. The reason was simple, when she saw him, she thought of Xie Lingli, and when she thought of Xie Lingli, she thought of her six ex-boyfriends, oh no, it's seven now.

Li Yanzhi hurriedly reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Xiaozhi*, have you fully recovered? I'm here to..."

(小 / Xiao- is an endearing way of addressing someone. In this case Jingzhi/净植 became 小植. Aka Little-zhi/Xiaozhi)

"If I became disabled, would you support me?"

Li Yanzhi's eyes were red as he he whispered, "I’m willing, but I..."

Hearing that sentence, it seemed all the wounds in her heart that were cut by him healed.

“You regret it now?”

"I have no regrets. I had used you to get closer to another person. I just think that was not right."

Should she thank him for not having any regrets? Did he want her to reward him with a little sticker for his honesty?

Tian Jingzhi looked at him speechlessly. She thought she would take off her high heels and beat him into a pig's head. Or scratch him up with her fingernails on him lovingly. Or perhaps make him send his condolences to his ancestors. But looking at his remorseful face, Tian Jingzhi only felt sorry for him.

He stabbed her and then asked her if it hurt. She said it hurt, and he stabbed himself too. After hurting others, he abused himself. The losses outweigh the gains. She, Tian Jingzhi, had many fans vying for her attention, she was the incarnation of a goddess. Before, she contemplated jumping off a building for such a waste (of a man). She really ate lard and blinded herself.

This piece of trash came to her, hoping for her to scold him, beat him, and satisfy his inner desire of being abused. And she would only waste a lot of effort and energy, but will only end up tired and out of breath. 

“Xiaozhi… But I….”

“Ok, I forgive you.”

Li Yanzhi held his breath, "Ah? But I..."

In the past, every time he did something wrong, he was scolded to death. When he was late for a date, he would be beaten up. Before Li Yanzhi came, he had already asked for sick leave.

“Let’s just go back to our relationship as friends. But the distant kind. That way, you do not have to worry when our familys ever gather for events. My presence may embarrass you, so I will try not to appear. If I can not avoid attending, then I will only stay for at most two hours. I will never ask about who you are seeing, intervene with who you are with and conversely, you will do the same.” Tian Jingzhi raised her chin and rolled her eyes, "So, I now officially announce that Tian Jingzhi and Li Yanzhi have parted ways. Please leave the venue, thank you for your cooperation!"

“But I…”

With a ‘bang!’, the door was slammed shut in front of his face.

Miss Tian Jingzhi, who just took the title of “ex”, slammed the door proudly, leaving Li Yanzhi standing there, like an abandoned puppy.

"But I... came to investigate the car accident case..."

Across a door, Tian Jingzhi had already shut him out of her own world.
