My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 525: After modification - 533 Suffocation

"Why did you stop?" Leng Yixiu asked.

"The front, you can wipe it yourself."

"I’m injured now, I can’t exert force with my hands. As the saying goes, if you help someone, help them to the end. You can’t just do things halfway and then give up, right?" The man turned his face slightly, saw the unusual blush on Shi Yi’s face, then moved closer and slowly asked, "You wouldn’t be shy, would you?"

"Shy? Hehehe... Which eye of yours saw me being shy?" Shi Yi laughed a few times, refusing to show weakness, "Wipe the front if you want, it’s no big deal."

When Shi Yi stood in front of the man, almost touching Leng Yixiu, she then belatedly realized that she had probably fallen for Leng Yixiu’s trick.

However, it was too late to regret it now. She could only bite the bullet, reach out her hand, and vigorously wipe the man’s chest skin.

Shi Yi had to admit, Leng Yixiu’s physique was still quite impressive. She comforted herself secretly, thinking she wasn’t wiping Leng Yixiu’s body, but appreciating a perfect statue, and without having to pay for a ticket, why not enjoy it?

Thinking like this, Shi Yi’s heart felt a bit balanced. She wiped the man’s chest with full strength, just like rubbing a statue.

Leng Yixiu only felt a slight pain on his chest skin. He couldn’t help but lower his eyes to look at the woman in front of him, who was fully absorbed in wiping, looking very focused.

He couldn’t help but laugh, eventually spoke, "Actually, you don’t need to use so much force."

Shi Yi didn’t respond for a long time. She seemed too absorbed to hear his words. The man shook his head helplessly and extended his hand to tightly grasp Shi Yi’s hand.

With her hand tightly wrapped in a large palm, Shi Yi suddenly came back to her senses. She looked up with confusion, caught off guard by a pair of eyes filled with laughter.

"If you use a bit more force, my chest skin might get rubbed raw."

Upon hearing this, a trace of embarrassment crossed Shi Yi’s eyes. She reflexively wanted to retract her hand, but Leng Yixiu held her hand tightly, she couldn’t pull it back.

The warmth from the man’s palm slowly spread through the back of her hand. Shi Yi wondered if it was her illusion, but she even felt her heart area getting a bit hot.

"Leng Yixiu, let go!"

"What if I don’t let go?" The man stared at her, half smiling.

"If you keep this up, I’ll... I’ll..."

"What will you do?"

"I’ll ignore you!" Shi Yi’s face, which had already cooled down, started to heat up again.

Seeing Shi Yi’s embarrassed expression, Leng Yixiu didn’t want to push too hard, slowly released her hand, then gave her a deep glance, "Shi Yi, don’t make me wait too long."

Wait too long?

Shi Yi couldn’t quite understand Leng Yixiu’s meaning. They haven’t known each other for long. From Leng Yixiu confessing to now, it had been at most half a month. From her perspective, their progress should be considered fast, right?

The two of them spent quite some time in the hospital room afterwards. By the time Shi Yi left, it was already past ten in the evening. Out of concern for Shi Yi’s safety, Leng Yixiu insisted that Old He send her back to her apartment.

On the way back to the apartment, Shi Yi couldn’t help but recall the events of the day. Her mind kept flashing back to moments spent with Leng Yixiu.

She admitted, Leng Yixiu was indeed irresistible, even she was a bit moved. But why, deep down, there was an inexplicable unease lingering within her? A voice inside kept telling her that what she was doing was wrong.

Why was that?

Shi Yi stared at the rapidly retreating street scenes outside the window, lost in thought. She wondered if this had something to do with her past?

The past...

Her past was a blank. Over the years, she had countless dreams, each time dreaming of different scenes. But most of these dreams had one common feature: there was always a man, calling out to her affectionately in the dream.

However, every time, that person was either facing away from her or enveloped in mist, preventing her from seeing his appearance. She wanted to approach him, to find out who he was, but she never succeeded.

Shi Yi couldn’t help but wonder who she was, where she came from, and if there was someone she once loved. If she had loved someone before, if one day she regained her memory, how would she handle it?

Shi Yi sighed softly, shaking her head, comforting herself. Song Yi had once said that the chance of her regaining her memory was very slim. Why should she stop because of such a slim possibility?

One should always look forward in life.

Upon returning to the apartment, Shi Yi unexpectedly ran into Ouyang Hao in the elevator. Previous unpleasant experiences had left a very bad impression of Ouyang Hao on Shi Yi.

So, seeing Ouyang Hao in the elevator, Shi Yi decided to ignore him. After all, in a while, they would each go their own way.

But to Shi Yi’s surprise, Ouyang Hao, who usually had a different woman by his side each time they met, was alone this time.

Hehe, what’s this? Has he changed his ways?

Shi Yi raised an eyebrow, originally wanted to mock him, but thinking about it, decided against it. They weren’t familiar with each other; there was no need to bother with him.

However, the enclosed space began to be filled with a strong smell of alcohol. Shi Yi didn’t have to guess to know it was definitely because of the person behind her. She didn’t like drinking, and hated drunks even more. The pungent smell of alcohol in the closed space made Shi Yi very uncomfortable. She stared at the elevator’s display screen, watching the numbers change, only wishing time would pass faster.

Fatefully, sometimes the heavens seemed to like going against her. Just as the elevator was about to reach her floor, the carriage suddenly jolted violently. The lights above flickered wildly, and with a bang, the elevator began to plummet.

The strange yet familiar feeling made Shi Yi’s heartbeat freeze. She felt like someone about to drown, quickly reaching out to grab the nearest thing, as if it was her only straw of hope.

Just when Shi Yi thought she was about to meet her end, everything went black, and the elevator abruptly stopped. However, Shi Yi didn’t feel any relief because of this.

Back when she fell into the sea, though she was rescued by Chu Yan and Song Yi, which saved her life, it left an indelible shadow in her heart.

She was afraid of the dark, especially in enclosed spaces. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She looked around, but could see nothing in the pitch blackness of the elevator. Shi Yi only felt the air thinning little by little, even breathing became difficult.

It was as if she was back in the cold seawater, with the air in her lungs being depleted bit by bit. She opened her mouth, taking large breaths, but to no effect, only feeling like there was fire burning in her lungs, a scorching pain.

She weakly crouched down, consciousness slowly slipping away from her body. Whether it was real or her illusion, just before she lost consciousness, she seemed to hear a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

"Hey, are you okay?"
