Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 412: There Won’t Be a Next Time

"Hey, my phone’s out of battery. I didn’t have time to charge it before we left this morning. What about your phone?" Lin Huixia looked at Ji Zhiye, stretching out her hand: "This picnic is so amazing, I have to take a picture to show my best friend."

Ji Zhiye’s face froze: "Just eat without taking pictures, it’ll taste bad if we wait too long. Let’s take pictures next time."

Lin Huixia said nonchalantly, "We can upload it later! You’re so busy these days, who knows when we’ll get to go out again, and the weather’s getting colder, we might not have another chance!"

Knowing he couldn’t brush it off, Ji Zhiye had no choice but to get up and fetch the phone.

Watching Ji Zhiye’s straight back in the sunlight, a bad feeling suddenly rose in Lin Huixia’s heart.

Ji Zhiye, are you hiding something from me?

After a while, Ji Zhiye returned to Lin Huixia with the phone and sat back down: "Here, take your pictures!"

Lin Huixia took the phone, and instead of opening the camera, she opened the call log.

Ji Zhiye nonchalantly glanced over and kept eating a banana slowly.

The call log showed only Lin Huixia, apart from some delivery and courier calls.

Other than some anonymous numbers, probably patients of his, calls from days ago that lasted only a few minutes.

Lin Huixia frowned slightly and then opened the camera to take two photos before opening her conversation in WeChat.

Looking at the nickname there, her frown slightly relaxed.

Although it was just a simple word, compared to Shen Hanyin’s full name in the list, she was still very satisfied.

At least it proved she was different in Ji Zhiye’s heart.

Just as she was about to send the photos to herself and return the phone to Ji Zhiye, a thought suddenly flashed through Lin Huixia’s mind, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

Ji Zhiye was taken aback, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety for the first time: "What’s wrong?"

Lin Huixia didn’t speak and directly opened the Moments to the post Ji Zhiye had just published.

Sure enough, there was a small icon at the bottom, indicating a recent setting by Ji Zhiye.

"Ji Zhiye, what’s going on?" Lin Huixia’s smile vanished in an instant, her brow furrowing deeply: "Are you playing with me?"

Ji Zhiye sat there calmly; he had anticipated this moment when he fetched the phone: "Is that what you think?"

Lin Huixia, seeing Ji Zhiye’s calm expression, felt her anger rise even more: "What else? Why did you block Shen Hanyin from this post? Do you still have feelings for her?"

Ji Zhiye casually tossed his unfinished banana into the trash bin they brought and slowly stood up: "I clicked wrong. I intended it to be visible to her only. Believe it or not, that’s the truth."

Lin Huixia looked at his face, him looking down at her with such cold eyes that they nearly froze her.

For a moment, Lin Huixia hesitated: "Why visible to only Shen Hanyin? What do you mean?"

Ji Zhiye’s lips curled into a cold smile as he leaned over and grabbed the phone from Lin Huixia’s hands: "Haven’t you always suspected there was something between Shen Hanyin and me? Didn’t you want me to post our photos together for her to see? If you don’t believe me, I can repost it for everyone to see."

Speaking, Ji Zhiye tapped the screen a few times, then showed the Moments page to Lin Huixia, "You’ve never trusted me!"

Watching Ji Zhiye turning to leave with the phone, Lin Huixia panicked, forgetting everything else, and immediately got up to chase after him: "No, Zhiye, listen to me, I was just anxious earlier, don’t be angry."

Ji Zhiye suddenly stopped, turned around, and coldly sneered at Lin Huixia: "Zhiye? Weren’t you just calling me Ji Zhiye? Move. I’m going home."

Seeing the always good-tempered Ji Zhiye genuinely angry, Lin Huixia quickly rushed in front of him, hugging his waist in plea: "I was wrong. I just care for you too much. Please don’t go, okay?"

Ji Zhiye looked at her, his eyes icy, without a hint of warmth: "I can’t believe that after being together for so long, we don’t even have that little bit of trust."

"I was wrong, I was momentarily upset, I promise it won’t happen again, okay?" Lin Huixia hugged Ji Zhiye tightly, "There definitely won’t be a next time."

Ji Zhiye stood straight; Lin Huixia couldn’t see his expression, it was a kind of aloof overlooking, without putting Lin Zhixia in his eyes.

"How can I trust you?" Ji Zhiye’s voice came coldly from above, "To make you feel at ease, I even went to find Shen Hanyin to have her personally reassure you. But what about you? It seems like you’ve never cared about my feelings." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Lin Huixia shook her head vigorously, "No, I haven’t. Zhiye, I just like you too much. For the first time in my life, I like someone this much. I promise it won’t happen again, Shen Hanyin... there’s no need to prove, let’s just be good together, okay? I won’t mention her again."

Ji Zhiye looked at Lin Huixia’s tear-filled eyes, to love someone so humbly is not just laughable, it’s downright pathetic.

"Really not mentioning it again?" Ji Zhiye asked, "And no need for Shen Hanyin to sign on that document either?"

Lin Huixia hesitated for two seconds and then nodded vigorously: "No need, as long as you’re by my side, I don’t need anything else. Zhiye, please don’t leave me, okay?"

Ji Zhiye looked at Lin Huixia’s cheeks, God gave her beauty, but did not give her intelligence.

Nobody told her that when someone humbles themselves to the extreme, using their dignity to retain someone, the outcome is destined not to be associated with happiness.

It seems being too well-protected is also a mistake.

After a while, Ji Zhiye’s lips curled into a smile: "Alright!"

Lin Huixia suddenly looked up: "Really?"

Ji Zhiye nodded: "But... this is the last time. If it happens again, we’ll break up!"

Lin Huixia agreed without hesitation: "Okay! There definitely won’t be a next time."

Ji Zhiye opened the chat with Shen Hanyin on WeChat, quickly typed two lines, and then deleted the friend and phone number in front of Lin Huixia: "It’s all over, I don’t want to hear Shen Hanyin’s name again, nor any speculation about her. I only have you in my heart, no one before you, and I don’t like being doubted! Especially not by the one I care for, understand?"
