Chapter 2468: Promise to Him
Xiao Zhi vomited blood on the spot and interrupted him hurriedly, "I didn't do that. Don't listen to his nonsense! Ah Si and I have a pure brotherhood that can't be any stronger!
Those blind people are making up stories, Xiao Xiaoyang, please don’t misunderstand them.”
As he spoke, he patted his chest hard and looked at Ma Xi eagerly, afraid that she would not believe him. "Really, I swear! I am a genuine straight man, and so is Ah Si, straighter than steel!
We are just good brothers, nothing more!"
Seeing him trying to distance himself from the matter, Shi Yang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, no need to explain, I know."
She paused, looked at Xiao Zhi's relieved expression, and then continued seriously, "I just want to say that it must be because you and Zhou Si have been inseparable that this misunderstanding has been caused.
But, to be honest, he is really lucky to have a good brother like you.
At least, in those most difficult and darkest days, you were the only light beside him, always illuminating him, right? "
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he felt that what she said made sense.
But it also feels a bit corny, what darkness and light?
He quickly straightened his expression and continued, "Although Ah Si has indeed come out of it, in reality, the darkness and fragility deep in his heart still exist.
That place is beyond the reach of even me, the brother.
At first, I always thought that no one in the world could really walk into there, but now, I think you can."
"I?"
A hint of suspicion flashed in Marcy's eyes, and she asked softly, "Why do you feel this way?"
Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and said firmly, "Of course it's because you are special to Ah Si, and you will be the only person in this world that he is willing to open his heart to without reservation.
So, I beg you, can you please stay with him forever? Give him that warmth and support?
Marcy nodded slowly and replied, "I can stay with him if he needs anything."
Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up, "You said it! You absolutely can't go back on your word!"
Marcy was amused by his exaggerated appearance, gently broke free from his hand and said, "Of course."
Xiao Zhi suddenly felt that this was not safe enough, "No, this needs to be recorded. I'm afraid you'll regret it."
As he spoke, he quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket, swiped his finger across the screen a few times, turned on the recording function, and pointed it in the direction of Marcy, "Come on, I say something and you answer it!"
Marcy was originally immersed in sentimental emotions, but his hasty actions completely destroyed her mood.
She was a little speechless and asked, "Does it have to be like this? Can there still be a little trust between people?"
Xiao Zhi cleared his throat and looked at her seriously. The screen of the mobile phone in his hand was lit, indicating that it was recording.
He said, "I trust you, but I feel more at ease if I record it. Now, classmate Shi Yang, please answer me solemnly..."
His tone became more serious, "From now on, no matter what happens to Zhou Si, no matter if his condition is good or bad, or if anything happens to him, are you willing to always stay by his side and be his strong support and backup?
You just said you were willing to stay with him forever, do you mean it?"
Marcy answered without hesitation, "Yes! It counts!"
Xiao Zhi pressed the stop button with satisfaction, a relieved and contented smile on his face.
He happily put his phone back into his pocket and even chuckled softly, as if he had accomplished something extremely important.
Shi Yang watched Xiao Zhi put away his phone, but suddenly felt something was strange.
What doesn't seem to be right?
This nervous way of asking questions, this solemn promise...
Why does it sound so much like wedding vows!
Marcy felt that she must have been confused by the story just now, which was why she accompanied him to do such a stupid thing.
Xiao Zhize thought happily.
When Ah Si wakes up, I will take this recording to play for him. He will definitely be very happy!
……
That night, Xiao Zhi and Ma Xi both stayed.
Zhou Si had many rooms, so he left the room next to the master bedroom for Marcy.
This way, if anything happens, you can go over and take care of it at any time.
After settling in, Xiao Zhi quickly fell asleep on the sofa in the living room, with a smile of success on his face.
However, Marcy was worried and couldn't sleep well, tossing and turning, and got up several times throughout the night.
She quietly pushed open the door of the master bedroom next door to check on Zhou Si's condition.
Every time, she would use the dim light coming in from the window to carefully confirm that he had no fever and was sleeping soundly before quietly leaving.
In the middle of the night.
She came to check again and found that Zhou Si had a recurring fever.
Marcy stood by and watched as the fever-reducing medicine showed no improvement.
She immediately got up, fetched a basin of water, and wrung out a cold towel.
The cold, wet towel was repeatedly placed on Zhou Si's burning forehead and neck, trying to dispel the scorching heat.
She kept changing and wiping it back and forth tirelessly.
It was not until the sky outside the window turned faintly gray that Zhou Si's body temperature finally slowly dropped back to a stable level.
Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and extreme fatigue swept over her in an instant. Marcy could no longer hold on, and she fell asleep on the edge of the bed in a daze.
When Zhou Si woke up in the early morning light, the first thing he saw was her sleeping profile.
The rising sun shone through the window screen, gently falling on her face, and the fine hairs were clearly visible.
The tightly closed eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the eyes, and the sleeping face is peaceful and beautiful, like a painting shrouded in a halo.
Zhou Si didn't have much memory of what happened last night.
He propped himself up and sat up, only then he realized that his right hand was wrapped in clean gauze... When was he injured?
However, he vaguely guessed the reason for the injury.
I also guessed that it was Marcy who bandaged herself.
His gaze fell back on Ma Xi, and Zhou Si's eyes instantly became extremely soft. All his doubts turned into a warmth in his heart.
He carefully leaned over, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure, and picked the person up steadily.
Marcy rubbed herself unconsciously in her sleep but did not wake up.
Zhou Si gently placed her on the still warm bed and carefully covered her with a thin blanket.
Then he quietly left the bedroom.
In the living room, the assistant had already woken up and was quietly handling matters.
Seeing Zhou Si coming out, the assistant immediately stood up.
Zhou Si lowered his voice and asked about what happened last night.
The assistant immediately understood.
He reported in a clear and organized manner how he had a high fever last night and how Miss Shi Yang took care of him all night, as well as how he accidentally injured his hand when he was unconscious and how Miss Shi Yang cleaned and bandaged the wound for him.
