"Demoness?" No matter how he guessed and speculated, he never expected this answer.
Seeing Li Zifei's shocked reaction, Du Shaxi knew that he couldn't accept this fact. Actually, she didn't want him to know so early. She wanted to wait until their relationship had stabilized and made progress before telling him about it.
She didn't expect things to happen in such an unexpected way. She wasn't mentally prepared at all.
She selfishly thought that if they couldn't have a future, then he didn't have to worry about her identity at all.
Du Shaxi could not help but sigh in her heart. Forget it, this was good too.
Besides, this incident also let her know that Hoodlum wasn't as simple as she thought. It was a good thing!
Even though she knew that he wasn't simple, she didn't expect him to be so.
She nodded her head vigorously and confirmed her identity again,""That's right, I'm a witch."
Hearing her confirmation with his own ears again, he stared at her for a long time without saying a word.
She was really uncomfortable in such a solemn atmosphere. She did not know what he thought about her identity, which made her feel uneasy. Instead of being in such a stiff atmosphere, she might as well take the initiative to attack, so she spoke again.
"Otherwise, where do you think the magic you saw just now came from? Could it be that I was performing special effects from a movie?”
Her mocking words finally made Li Zifei open his mouth.
"I didn't expect that there really was a witch in this world, and I even met her.”
Whoosh! Du Shaxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He finally spoke. Otherwise, she would really think that he was scared silly by her true identity!
Just as she was rejoicing and wanted to hear more of his opinion on her identity, she waited for a long time and still saw him standing there quietly looking at her.
Hence, she could not help but raise her eyebrows and look at him. Unexpectedly, he was completely indifferent to her expression, so she could only frown and urge him,"What else?"
He understood her expression and actions, but what puzzled him was what else did she want him to say? Hadn't he already said what he needed to say?
"What else?"
Hearing his answer, she rolled her eyes impatiently. Was this man really that stupid? He actually didn't understand what she wanted to ask, so she said to him in a very impatient tone,"Other than what you just said, do you have anything else to add to my identity?”
She told him directly so that she wouldn't feel like she was playing riddles with him. He might not even know the reason if she was annoyed to death!
Li Zifei looked at her for a long time. He could feel that she was seriously concerned about him under her meaningless attitude. It was as if his answer was very important to her. He could not help but suspect that he was really that important to her heart.
"I don't know what else to say.”
" You..." Du Shaxi was speechless. Why was this person's reaction so calm? Did her identity not affect him at all?
"What about me?" He was still baffled! "What do you want me to say? Why don't you just say it?”
"Alright, then let me ask you. Don't you have anything else to say other than that comment?”
Li Zifei couldn't help but shake his head." I really don't understand. Why do you keep asking me so many boring questions? Is it so hard for you to believe that I've accepted the fact that you're a witch?"”
"That's not true." Du Shaxi suddenly felt a little sad. A sense of loss rose in her heart. After looking at him for a while, she suddenly lowered her head, thinking about something.
Li Zifei, who was staring at the top of her head, felt that something was wrong with her sudden silence. What was wrong with her? This overshadowed performance was not like her usual passionate, bold, and lively self at all.
So much concern was directed at her, which made him secretly shocked. Du Shaxi's position in his heart was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Regardless of these emotional changes in his heart, the last thing he wanted to see now was her sad appearance. His heart ached so much that he wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her carefully.
Just as he was about to ask, she raised her head to look at him before he did. Her gray eyes were filled with true feelings of grievance, making his heart tremble.
She said faintly," I just want to know what you think of my identity. I don't want you to be scared away by my identity. After all, not everyone can accept my identity and become the witch's boyfriend."”
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, but she could not help but continue to tell her thoughts. "I'm really afraid that you'll find out the truth and stop me from pursuing you. You'll stop giving me the chance to spend time with you and let you know that I'm actually a good choice. At least no one will admire you like I do.”
Du Shaxi couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked at Li Zifei, who had appeared in front of her at some point in time. His face was magnified because he was so close to her face, so she could clearly see every fine line and expression on his face. He was using his lips to block her words, so that she couldn't say another word.
Li Zifei seemed to want to pour all his feelings for her into this kiss. He kissed her so attentively, so seriously, so gently, and with a little bit of heart, heartache, and gratitude.
Du Shaxi seemed to have felt what he wanted to convey to her. Her eyes widened with surprise and confusion. She did not understand why his attitude towards her had suddenly changed. However, along with these emotions, she was ecstatic.
In that case, did he have feelings for her? Wasn't this kiss enough to explain everything? She wasn't a slow-witted fool when it came to relationships, so she was naturally able to sense it keenly. Without hesitation, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist and snuggled into his embrace. She slowly closed her eyes and enjoyed his gentle kiss.
They only shared this special kiss together and felt an incredible emotional exchange in their hearts. It was as if this kiss had subtly changed their relationship.
They both knew that their relationship would never be the same again.
Very tacitly, they slowly separated. When Du Shaxi wanted to speak, Li Zifei put his palm on her lips as if he had already realized it and shook his head at her. "Shh!"
Du Shaxi could only shut her mouth when he stopped her. She didn't know what he wanted to do next, so she could only wait and see.
She believed that since he had accepted her identity and proved his heart with this kiss, he would tell her what she wanted to know.
"Follow me." He suddenly took her hand and led her up the stairs, past the fainted audience.
"Wait!" Du Shaxi saw that he was anxiously pulling her away and could not help but stop him.
Li Zifei stopped in his tracks and looked at her." What are you doing?”
"What about these people? If they don't see the male lead when they wake up, then…"
"Do you want to know the secret I want to tell you or not?”
This topic naturally aroused Du Shaxi's great interest. Her eyes lit up and she quickly nodded." Of course!”
"Then don't have so many opinions.”
" But..." Du Shaxi was still worried. She was afraid that if she didn't take care of the aftermath, it would have a bad impact on the show.
Li Zifei threw a sentence at her,"I'm the boss behind this show. What's there to hide?" Let's go." After he finished speaking impatiently, he pulled her hand and left without saying anything.
Du Shaxi was completely stunned by his words and could not come back to her senses for a long time. She could only let him take her away without any objection because her brain still could not process it.
Heavens! She had always thought that he was just a super hunk who was famous in the world of hunks. At most, he was the most resounding and most coveted money tree in the world of hunks, and he had an extraordinary status of tens of millions.
He was actually the owner of this show!？This show venue was the most famous and largest show venue in the country! It had many large and small shows all over the country, and he was actually the behind-the-scenes boss?
Didn't they hear that the boss behind these macho shows was a terrifying guy from the underworld? He had a very good relationship with his people in both the black and white, as well as the political and business world. Offending that underworld group was equivalent to courting death. Then, how could it be him?
Could it be that he was just the nominal boss of this show? Because this show was only a branch of the Phantom Nightclub.
When she got into his sports car, he seemed to be able to read her mind. He suddenly turned his head and said to her,"I'm the boss behind Phantom Nightclub.”
Li Zifei ignored her wide-open eyes and stunned look and drove her away.
When Du Shaxi entered Li Zifei's house, her eyes couldn't help but widen in shock. She could not say a word about the scene in front of her.
It was all dark gray. The decorations were so lifeless, the colors were so dim, the lines and decorations were gray, and they were all interwoven with black or gray. It looked very strange.
"What do you want to drink?" After Li Zifei led her into his house, he walked straight to the bar counter.
Du Shaxi's eyes followed his figure. When she saw all kinds of drinks on the black bar counter, she was shocked again. She couldn't help but say to him,"Ah Fei, don't you think it's weird that your house is decorated like this?”
Li Zifei didn't stop mixing the wine. He just looked at her quickly and said indifferently,"
"Will I?"
"Of course I will." Du Shaxi nodded vigorously." Look at you. You've turned your home into such a lifeless place. If you stay here for too long, you'll become very gloomy! How did you think of designing it like this?”She walked to the bar counter and sat down on a chair. Her gray eyes flashed with interest as she stared at him.
She swore that she saw him tighten his grip on the wine glass, then relax it again. Then, he placed a glass of pink liquid in front of her." I didn't design these.”
"Did you hire someone to design it?" The moment she heard that he didn't design it, she started to spout nonsense. "Why is that person so tasteless to design such a thing! That designer is so lame, why didn't you…"
He suddenly said something, interrupting Du Shaxi's excited judgment. "That was designed by my parents.”
"Ah?" His answer stunned her. She stopped criticizing him and swallowed the words she wanted to say.
After she came back to her senses, in order to cover up her criticism of the other party's parents, she quickly picked up the drink Li Zifei placed in front of her and took a sip. Then, her eyes lit up. This thing is so delicious!"
"As long as you like it." Li Zifei could tell at a glance that she wanted to change the awkward topic just now, so he immediately said to her,""It doesn't matter. They're all dead anyway. They won't hear your criticism.”
"Oh." She responded, and after a while, she called out,"Ah Fei."
"Hmm?" He waited for her question, only to find that she was looking at him hesitantly, so he said to her,"If you have any questions, just ask!”Li Zifei saw through her thoughts at a glance.
Du Shaxi just smiled and said to him,""Then I won't stand on ceremony. What kind of people are your parents? Why would they design such a strange house? Why don't you change the stack and give it a new look? Also…"
"Stop!" Her series of questions made his head hurt, so he quickly shouted to stop.
Du Shaxi blinked her bright gray eyes and said innocently,""You were the one who asked me to ask!"
"You asked so many questions at once. Which one should I start with? You're too naughty."
Du Shaxi couldn't help but stick out her tongue." Alright! Are you going to tell me your secret or not?”
When she heard her asking this question again, she could see the muscles on his cheeks faintly throbbing. His struggle made Du Shaxi even more curious, but she did not open her mouth to urge him again. She just looked at him expectantly.
After a while, he finally opened his mouth slowly,""My parents are very special."
After saying this, Du Shaxi waited for a long time, but he did not speak again, so she could not help but ask,"And then?"
Li Zifei looked at her for a while. The focus, seriousness, and sadness in his eyes made Du Shaxi's heart tremble. How special were his parents? Why would they let him stare at her with such soul-stirring eyes?
"My father is a world-renowned boxing king. He relied on his fists to fight his way to the top and establish his own kingdom. However, it is very difficult to make a living on the fist, especially when he is old and has physical limitations.”
It turned out that his father was a boxing king. No wonder his physique was so good. It turned out that it was hereditary, Du Shaxi could not help but think to herself.
" And in boxing life, betting is the most important thing to the audience. Naturally, it also has a very dark side. There will be all kinds of forces that want to gain benefits and enter the boxing world. My father began to establish his own kingdom and used his fists to fight. Not only in public competitions, but also in private. Both of these allowed him to successfully make his name and career.”
Du Shaxi seemed to have understood a little, so she immediately said to him,"So this is how the underground organization, Phantom, came about! Wow! Your dad is quite powerful! However, I heard that all the members of the Phantom organization have a boxing background. Is that true?”
Li Zifei looked at her sharply and said,""Yes, that's right. You seem to know quite a lot, don't you?”
"It's alright! I just didn't expect that the boss of Phantom would be you. No one knows this secret. Even if people want to investigate, not many have seen your true face. You're really not simple.”She couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder.
"So you do know a lot? Then can you tell me what you know?”Li Zifei's eyes became very deep and he kept sizing her up.
The Demoness was indeed not simple. She seemed to know everything she wanted to know. He shifted his body uneasily, not wanting to guess if his imagination was right.
"Don't worry, I don't know how to guess. There are some things that I can't find out either. I have to tell you before I can find out.”Du Shaxi immediately saw what he was worried about and afraid of.
Li Zifei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at her." Oh? If that's the case, then how can you see through my thoughts?”
"Because your body movements are emitting such a strong aura. Anyone with a slightly sharper sense can see it.”She deliberately stared at his uneasy appearance, as if she wanted to put her hand on her chest so that she, the witch, would not see through her thoughts.
"Oh." He was right. Sometimes, he could see what Sha Xi was thinking, and he never missed it.
In order to calm him down, Du Shaxi said to him,""Actually, we witches have many types of magic and abilities. Not every witch can see what people are thinking. Only my sister, Shawn, can do it. However, that would require a very painful price.”
"Then what do you know?"
"I know healing techniques. I can use my magic to cure any disease, even if it's a dead person, I can still bring him back to life. However, that's only possible if he's just died and his body is still warm. Of course, it also depended on whether I wanted to save him or not.”
"You usually go and save them, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. It depends on my mood!”
"Ha…"
He suddenly laughed, causing Du Shaxi to look at him in confusion."What are you laughing at?”
"It's nothing." He knew that the nature of the Demoness was very different and could not be judged by common sense. Perhaps…
He suddenly looked at her with that kind of focused and deep gaze, making Du Shaxi's heart beat wildly again." Hey, don't look at me like that. It's very strange!"”
"What taste?"
"Don't talk nonsense. You know it yourself." Du Shaxi suddenly felt that Li Zifei was deliberately teasing her, causing her to roll her eyes at him.
"Back to the topic, you still haven't told me what you know.”He really wanted to tell her the truth as soon as possible and see how she would react. He must be very different from "her", right?
Thinking of her, Li Zifei could not help but feel a sharp pain in his heart, but he immediately ignored it and focused on Du Shaxi.
" I only know that Phantom flourished under your leadership and became even more legendary because you were not only low-key but also secretive. Your sphere of influence was so large that almost wherever there were people in the world, there would be a branch of Phantom. The scope of your influence was simply immeasurable, so it was also shocking. However, no one has ever discovered you, the Mirror Hider.”
She suddenly paused and looked at him as she shook her head." Tsk! Tsk! If someone knew that the most popular man in the country was actually the Phantom Leader that they wanted to know about, it would be an earth-shattering event!”
" Ha…" Li Zifei couldn't help but feel amused by her words." Is my identity that shocking?"”
Du Shaxi couldn't help but snort at him." You know very well whether or not I have it."”
The Phantom that he led was the Phantom Group on a public and legal level. It had a very large business and interests. It had hundreds of department stores, film companies, and other companies. In private, Phantom also controlled hotels, KTV, PUB, and the macho show. In terms of interpersonal relationships, it was like a spider web that covered all levels and corners, to the point where it was airtight. This was already shocking. Otherwise, what else did he want?
His power and wealth were so great that it was difficult to estimate. Even a small, wealthy country might not have as much wealth as him!
"Other than this, what else do you know?”
"No! I wanted to investigate further, but Big Sis wanted me to ask you myself.”
Li Zifei's eyes flashed and he immediately asked,""The beautiful and sexy beauty who helped you at the critical moment just now?”
"Ah!" Du Shaxi couldn't help but exclaim and stared at him as if she was looking at a monster." You…How did you see it again?”How terrifying. Big Sis was invisible in space, so how did he see her?
"If you have a mother who was born with Yin Yang Eyes, and you inherited her true inheritance, it's naturally possible to see strange phenomena that ordinary people can't see.”
There was bitterness in his tone, and Du Shaxi couldn't help but call out to him.
"Ah Fei, are you alright?"
The genuine concern in her eyes warmed Li Zifei's heart, but he didn't show it. He just shook his head and smiled at her.
"What can happen to me?" He spread his hands and shrugged slightly." It's just that you can see what others can't, so you're treated as an anomaly.”He said it casually, but there was a seriousness that could not be ignored under his tone.
He lowered his eyes, not wanting her to see the expression on his face. Unexpectedly, his back was lightly bumped. Just as he was about to turn around, he felt a soft body snuggling tightly against him, her arms tightly wrapped around him.
" You..." Her sudden action surprised him, but it strangely made him feel warm.
"I just want to hug you." Du Shaxi leaned her soft cheek against his back and gently rubbed it.
Her heart ached and her concern turned into an affectionate hug. She just wanted him to truly feel that at least he still had her.
Her arms around his waist tightened, but her heart ached.
Although she did not know what cruel things he had experienced, she could keenly sense his pain and hurt from his deliberately hidden expression. Because she had sincerely given him, she naturally had the sharpest sense of all his emotions.
"Even though no one cared about you, wanted you, loved you, or cared about you in the past, I'm here now. From now on, you will have me. No matter how long it takes, I will be by your side, accompanying you, caring for you, caring for you, and loving you. I understand, I understand your feelings, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, because I'm here! I will always be with you."
She naturally blurted out the words from the bottom of her heart because her heart ached for him.
Li Zifei felt as if his heart had been struck hard by her words. In this ruthless and cruel world, who would take others seriously? Who would really care about another? He had seen too much. If he wanted to survive, if he wanted to live, he had to be hypocritical and treat everything with suspicion. This was the world he was familiar with and used to. It was also the lesson he had learned.
Everyone would say that they cared, but how many people could really do it?
After experiencing so many things and people, he could tell whether she was sincere or not. Now, he could feel her sincerity. Li Zifei's stiff body did not move, and Du Shaxi did not speak.
Then, he suddenly turned around and pulled Du Shaxi into his arms. After a long time, he scolded her in a hoarse voice,""Idiot."
"That's not true." Du Shaxi shook her head in his arms." I'm not."”
"You are." He pressed her head down and did not let her get up so that she would not see the tears in his eyes. In his life, no one had ever said such touching words to him, making him feel that he was no longer alone.
"I'm not." She protested forcefully," I just want to be with you."”
Calming his emotions, he made her raise her head to face him and asked her curiously,""I really want to know why you insist on being with me. What do you like about me?”
"You really don't know?"
Li Zifei shook his head." If I knew, would I have asked you?”
"Because you're very good!"
"Very good? Just like that?" Li Zifei narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a dangerous glint in them.
"Yes." She nodded her head matter-of-factly and did not notice the dissatisfaction in Li Zifei's eyes at all.
After staring at her for a while, he said in a dangerous low voice,"No one has ever said that I'm good, and no one will think that I'm good.”
When Du Shaxi heard this, she was stunned for a while. Then, she suddenly reached out her palm and patted his chest gently. She looked at him with sympathy. Don't be too sad. It's their loss that they don't understand your kindness. Don't take it to heart. I…"
"Shut up!" He couldn't stand her sometimes sharp and sometimes idiotic reactions. He couldn't help but growl to stop her from continuing.
Du Shaxi glared at him." Why are you so fierce? I'm just comforting you out of kindness!"
"No need!" He refused. "I don't like it, and I don't want others to say that I'm good. That's an insult to me!”
"Ah?" Du Shaxi was completely stunned. She looked at him in surprise and found it unbelievable. She sized him up with an extremely strange gaze, thinking that he must have gone crazy.
Heavens! Could it be that he had seen too many things that others could not see because of his special inheritance? Otherwise, why would he say that he didn't want others to praise him?
Li Zifei gently pushed her away and turned to walk to the French window on the other side. He raised his head and looked at the white sky. The sky was just beginning to brighten. He had seen such a scene countless times, but his heart was not as heavy as it was now, because he remembered the past that he did not want to think about the most.
Du Shaxi was a little confused by his sudden change in attitude, but she still walked behind him. This time, she didn't take the initiative to hug him."Ah Fei, you…"
"Do you think anyone would say that the leader of Phantom is a good person?”There was some anger in his tone. "Besides, I don't need others to say that I'm good. You said that you like me just because I'm good? Ha!" He could not help but snort.
There was a hint of mockery in his attitude, but he was actually dissatisfied with her general answer. Could it be that he wanted her to like him, and it could only be covered by the word 'good'?
He was not satisfied, not satisfied at all. He wanted to hear other different answers. He wanted to know what was different about him in her heart that made her like him so much.
He didn't realize that his desire had already shown how important Du Shaxi was in his heart.
" You're not allowed to laugh at yourself like this. I won't allow you to…" Du Shaxi suddenly bumped into his back, stretched her arms out to his chest, and punched him hard." How can you say that?" In my heart, you are a very, very good person. No matter what others think or say, I just like you. This is a feeling. How do you want me to express it in words?”
"Sha Xi!" Li Zifei didn't expect her to have such an intense reaction, and it was actually to protect him!
"I won't allow it! I will never allow you to talk about yourself like this. If you dare to laugh at yourself like this again, I will definitely not forgive you.”How could he look down on her like this? "Besides, the man I, Du Shaxi, fell in love with is definitely the best.”
It was just a few short words, but it made Li Zifei's heart inexplicably moved. It was as if in her heart, he was the best and most important person.#
