Chapter 224 The Truth: The Savior Is Someone Else!
Upon hearing Zhou Zixiao's question, Si Xuxia answered without hesitation: "Yes, that's right, I want to break up with you!"
Zhou Zixiao saved his life; he was his savior. That was an undeniable fact, and he had no choice in the matter.
Although he doesn't have the power to choose who his savior is, he does have the power to choose who will become his girlfriend.
He couldn't accept someone like Zhou Zixiao, who had questionable character, becoming his partner.
It wasn't just him who couldn't accept it.
Even the entire Si family couldn't accept such a granddaughter-in-law.
Therefore, he had to completely break off his relationship with Zhou Zixiao.
There must be no trace of lingering attachment.
"Fine," Zhou Zixiao's laughter came from across the room, "Break up then! Don't regret it!"
After that, hang up the phone directly.
Seemingly surprised that Zhou Zixiao would hang up the phone so abruptly, Si Xuxia was taken aback.
What did Zhou Zixiao mean by saying "You'll regret it"?
Here.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zixiao smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground.
Snapped!
The wine glass shattered into pieces.
Then, Zhou Zixiao went to the door and locked it from the inside.
After locking the door, Zhou Zixiao bent down to pick up the shards of glass from the ground and used the sharpest point to slash her arm.
The moment the glass cut my arm, bright red blood gushed out.
It hurts.
It's a sharp pain.
But Zhou Zixiao grinned.
He was laughing very happily.
This tactic is called the "bitter flesh strategy".
It might not be of much use to others, but it's extremely useful to Si Xuxia.
Zhou Zixiao took out her phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Si Xuxia with the caption: "Xuxia, I love you. See you in the next life."
After sending the message, Zhou Zixiao immediately turned off her phone.
Fifteen minutes later, Si Xuxia saw the WeChat message.
Si Xuxia was trembling as he looked at the photos Zhou Zixiao had sent him.
He never expected that Zhou Zixiao would actually cut his wrists.
No way.
Zhou Zixiao cannot die.
Zhou Zixiao not only cannot die, but he also cannot die because of him. He already owes Zhou Zixiao a life, and if Zhou Zixiao dies because of him, he will never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Si Xuxia immediately dialed Zhou Zixiao's number.
But all I heard on the other end of the line was a cold, robotic voice: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off."
It's turned off!
Si Xuxia panicked, her face turned pale, and she ran out without even putting on her coat.
He wanted to stop Zhou Zixiao from committing suicide!
Jiang Ning and Madam Si were chatting in the living room downstairs when they saw Si Xuxia run out quickly. Jiang Ning stood up and asked, "Sixth Brother, what happened?"
Si Xuxia was running too fast and didn't hear Jiang Ning's voice at all.
Madam Si frowned slightly. "This child, always rushing around, where are you going?"
Zhao Yunong chimed in, "Mom, Xuxia is so grown up now, you need to give him some personal space."
Madam Si nodded.
While running, Si Xuxia contacted the hotel and asked the hotel manager to check on Zhou Zixiao's room first.
Upon receiving Si Xuxia's call, the person in charge immediately brought several female employees to knock on Zhou Zixiao's door.
But no one answered the door after knocking for a long time.
The person in charge had no choice but to use the room key to swipe the card.
The door opened quickly, but Zhou Zixiao locked it from the inside. The person in charge then brought two maintenance workers to open the door.
As soon as I entered, I saw Zhou Zixiao lying on the bed.
The white blanket was covered in red blood!
shocking!
"what!"
One of the female employees fainted upon seeing this.
The person in charge immediately dialed 120.
The ambulance arrived very quickly.
Zhou Zixiao was lifted into an ambulance.
Si Xuxia also rushed to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Zhou Zixiao was undergoing emergency treatment in the resuscitation room.
Si Xuxia was extremely anxious and grabbed a passing nurse, "Nurse, how is Zhou Zixiao, who was just taken in for emergency treatment, doing now?"
The nurse looked at Si Xuxia and asked, "Are you asking about the one who committed suicide by cutting his wrists?"
"Yeah."
The nurse continued, "I heard that it was brought in rather late, and the condition is not good."
Upon hearing this, Si Xuxia's face turned pale instantly.
Why, how could this happen?
Zhou Zixiao saved his life.
If Zhou Zixiao dies because of him, he will never forgive himself.
Seeing Si Xuxia's face change instantly, and noticing that Si Xuxia and Zhou Zixiao were about the same age, the nurse guessed that the two were a couple. She then comforted her, saying, "But you don't need to worry. Your girlfriend is very lucky. The doctor on duty today is Dr. Zhang, the head of our surgery department. With Dr. Zhang performing the surgery, I believe your girlfriend will definitely recover."
Although that's what the nurse said, Si Xuxia was still very worried.
Ten minutes later, the emergency room doors were finally opened.
A doctor wearing a white coat came out from inside.
Si Xuxia immediately stepped forward, "Doctor, how is Zhou Zixiao now?"
The doctor pulled down his mask, glanced at Si Xuxia, and his eyes were full of reproach. "You're Zhou Zixiao's boyfriend, right? Let me tell you, you're a terrible boyfriend! Do you know that if your girlfriend had been brought here even a little later, she would have died?"
"You young people should know when to stop arguing in a relationship!"
Si Xuxia lowered her head, unsure how to refute.
Soon, Zhou Zixiao was transferred to a regular ward.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Si Xuxia sitting next to her.
A glint flashed quickly in Zhou Zixiao's eyes.
It seems that she...
The bet was right!
She knew that Si Xuxia still loved her, and that Si Xuxia wouldn't just stand by and watch her die.
But soon, Zhou Zixiao seemed to have become a different person, angrily asking, "Why did you save me!"
Why won't you let me die?
Si Xuxia sighed, "Zixiao, you only have one life, you can't joke about this."
Si Xuxia is someone who has been on the verge of death once.
He knew how terrifying it felt to be on the verge of death.
"My life is mine, it has nothing to do with you! Go away, I don't want to see you again!" Zhou Zixiao turned her head away and stopped looking at Si Xuxia.
Si Xuxia pressed her temples. "I can leave, but please don't do anything stupid like this again, okay? Do you know you almost died?"
“I told you, this is my fate, and it has nothing to do with you!” Zhou Zixiao continued, “Si Xuxia, we’ve already broken up. Didn’t you say you didn’t love me? If you don’t love me, why bother about the life or death of a stranger? What does my life have to do with you?”
Si Xuxia frowned imperceptibly.
"Zixiao, calm down! Go to the fifth floor of the hospital and see how many people with terminal illnesses are still struggling to survive. But you, with a healthy body, are trying to take your own life here. How can you face your parents?"
“I’m calm now,” Zhou Zixiao said, her eyes reddening. “Si Xuxia, do you know that my parents and all my relatives know that I came to Hong Kong with you to meet your parents? But now, you want to break up with me. What’s the point of my life? How can I face my parents and relatives?”
Upon hearing these words, Si Xuxia's eyes held an inscrutable expression.
He never imagined things would come to this with Zhou Zixiao.
Does he love Zhou Zixiao?
The answer is no.
He accepted Zhou Zixiao's confession for two reasons: first, he had reached the age of marriage and having children; second, Zhou Zixiao was his savior.
In Zhou Zixiao's opinion, a girl who would save even a stranger's life must be a pretty good person.
Who would have thought...
"What exactly do you want?" Si Xuxia continued.
Zhou Zixiao turned to look at Si Xuxia, "I only have two paths to take now: one is to stay with you, and the other is to die! I have no other choice."
"There's no possibility between us!" Si Xuxia replied with unwavering determination, then turned and left.
Watching Si Xuxia's departing figure, Zhou Zixiao continued, "Xuxia, this time I'll only wait for you for three days. Either you come to pick me up in three days to attend Madam Si's birthday banquet, or you go to the hospital to collect my body in three days."
"Si Xuxia, I risked my life to save you once, can't you save me once too?!"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Si Xuxia visibly paused.
Seeing Si Xuxia pause slightly, Zhou Zixiao narrowed his eyes, a look of determination flashing in them.

at the same time.
City A.
Yue Qianlan woke up from a nightmare with a cold sweat covering her forehead.
Startled, she ran straight to her parents' bedroom and banged on the door.
"Mom and Dad!"
My mother-in-law woke up immediately and rushed to open the door, "March, what's wrong with March? Mom's here!"
Yue Qianlan hugged her mother, crying, "Waaah, Mom, I had that nightmare again. I dreamt that I was drowning in the sea."
The mother-in-law hugged her daughter tightly and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, that's just a dream, it's not real."
The father-in-law, still wearing his coat, came out and scratched his head. "Why are you still having that nightmare? Didn't Master Liu say that everything would be fine if we moved to City A?"
That's right.
There was a reason why the Yue family suddenly transferred to City A during Yue Qianlan's crucial senior year of high school.
A year ago, Yue Qianlan went to the Maldives for vacation. While riding a yacht, an accident suddenly occurred. Fortunately, Yue Qianlan was a good swimmer and not only escaped the accident but also rescued someone from the water.
But ever since then, Yue Qianlan has had the same nightmare every night.
Seeing his daughter growing thinner and thinner, and despite numerous hospital visits to no avail, the father-in-law had no choice but to consult a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that Yue Qianlan was destined to be associated with water, and since Shanghai was close to the sea, he suggested that the family of four move to City A.
Coincidentally, Yue Qianlan hadn't had any nightmares since moving to City A, but a year later, she started having nightmares again.
Yue Qianlan was awakened by a nightmare and was afraid to sleep alone, so her mother-in-law slept with her.
Upon entering the room, my mother-in-law frowned and said, "March, do you think there might be something wrong with that longevity lock you brought back? Why don't we just throw it away?"
