Chapter 1414: Taking Off His Mask

After Cen Xi returned to the Capital. She took out a sum of money from the bank and planned to donate it to the school. Her sister used to love doing charity. If she knew her decision, she would definitely agree to it.

The principal received Cen Xi’s call and was very excited to learn that she would be donating a teaching building, dormitory and a library to the school.

Cen Xi did not dare to delay any more time in the Capital. The next day, she went back to the school with Da Zuo and Xiao Zuo.

The principal and the teachers stood at the school gate to welcome them. Qiao Yanze was also pulled to the school gate by the principal.

He saw several figures coming from a distance.

Cen Xi was walking in front, followed by Da Zuo and Xiao Zuo.

She was wearing a short leather jacket over a white t-shirt, black skinny pants and short boots of the same color today. Her long hair was tied into a bun and looked extremely attractive as she walked over, like a beautiful scenery.

Da Zuo and Xiao Zuo behind her were also wearing black, looking like two guardians.

When they came to the school gate, the principal received them warmly. The teachers shook hands with them one by one.

But when it was Qiao Yanze’s turn, he put his hands into his pants pocket and left without saying a word. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Miss Cen, Masked Teacher, he…”

Cen Xi shook her head. “It’s okay.”

The principal had asked the canteen to prepare lunch and he took the three of them there. Cen Xi did not see Qiao Yanze and after letting the principal know, she got up and went out.

After circling around the teacher building, she still did not see Qiao Yanze.

A little boy who had come out to go to the washroom saw Cen Xi and asked, “Beautiful Sister, what are you looking for?”

Cen Xi crouched down and looked at the little boy with a smile. “I’m looking for the teacher who wears a mask in your school.”

The little boy pointed to a mountain behind the teaching building. “Masked Teacher often goes up the mountain. Do you want to have a look there?”

“Okay, thank you.”

Cen Xi walked towards the mountain behind the teaching building. There was a path there and it could be seen that people often went up from there. Wasting no time, Cen Xi followed the path and walked up.

After walking for more than ten minutes, she saw a thin figure sitting on a big stone.

Cen Xi went over and stood on the stone.

From here, one could overlook the whole village. In the distance, there were peaks of mountains. At noon, the sunlight was just right and the peaks of mountains were tinted gold in color from the sunlight.

It was the most sacred color.

The scenery was natural, the air was fresh and standing at the highest point, it could make one relaxed and happy. No wonder he liked to sit here.

Cen Xi did not greet him. Opening her arms, she leaned forward, as if she was going to fall from the cliff.

Qiao Yanze, who was sitting on one side, looked at Cen Xi from the corner of his eyes. Her hair came loose from her bun and her long hair was blown messily by the wind.

Raising her delicate chin, she faced the sun, closed her eyes and seemed to be saying to herself, “If you don’t have the desire to live, it’s better for me to go first.”

Her body leaned forward unconsciously and was about to fall off the cliff. The man by the side quickly pulled her back.

“Are you crazy!” His voice was fierce.

Cen Xi looked back at the man wearing the mask, her eyes filling up with tears. “Yes, I’m crazy. But what about you? You became like this for me. Do you think I will live happily after you’re gone?”

That was why he chose not to tell her.

Qiao Yanze released Cen Xi and turned around, his voice hoarse. “Can you let me leave quietly? I’ve become a stranger to myself. Why should I show you the most ugly and disgusting side of me? Xiao Xi, I beg you. Just leave!”

Cen Xi looked at his thin back and bit her lip hard. “No matter what you have become, you are the most perfect person in my heart.”

Qiao Yanze shook his head, putting his hands around his head and slowly crouched down, his body being surrounded by a decadent and painful emotion. “You haven’t seen what I look like now, you don’t knー”

Before he could finish, the woman’s soft body pressed against him from behind.

She held him tight.

So tightly it was as if she wanted to mesh into one with him.

“Remember the first time we met? You had the appearance of Qiao Sen. You were not good-looking at all. At that time, I already had feelings for you. I’ve already carved what you looked like into my heart. No matter handsome or ugly, you are the one who occupies my heart.

“I’ve always thought that you didn’t love me enough, so I didn’t dare to give out too much. You said to end this and I did not object either. I wanted to keep some self-respect for myself, but I understand now that the love between two people can’t be measured by who loves the other party more. It needs both sides to strive for and work hard. I don’t care what you think. I won’t let go again.”

Qiao Yanze clenched his hands into fists tightly, trying to push her back, but in the end, he could not bear to.

Moving around him, Cen Xi raised her hand and slowly reached it towards the mask on his face.

When her fingertips touched his mask, he reached out and held her still, not letting her take it off.

“No matter what you have become, I don’t mind at all.”

She looked at him and his masked appearance was reflected in her dark eyes. She was looking at him intently and was so focused that it seemed like there was only his existence in her world.

Qiao Yanze was moved by her gaze. The hand pressing her fingertips slowly moved down.

With her character, she would not give up easily if she did not achieve her goal. This might be good as well. Perhaps she would be frightened or disappointed after seeing his appearance and leave.

Cen Xi slowly took down the man’s mask.

A face that was totally different and completely terrifying was revealed.

His eyes, nose and lips had all changed shape and she could not see his handsome and devilish appearance from before. The veins in his skin had become extremely thick like small green snakes that were going to burrow out from his skin.

Perhaps after some time, the veins would burst and he would die in agony.

Young Master Li was too cruel!

He gave him such a vicious poison!

Cen Xi closed her eyes and her long and thick eyelashes were fluttering like the wings of an injured butterfly.

Qiao Yanze put on the mask again. “Are you scared? Do you still say you don’t mind when I’m like this?”

He could not even look at himself, let alone hope for her to accept him like this.

He was no longer the Qiao Yanze from before. Now, as long as he took off the mask, everyone would think that he was a monster.

“Don’t come looking for me again. I won’t go back to the Capital.”

Qiao Yanze turned around, planning to leave.

But he had just taken a step when a soft hand pulled him hard.

“Let me be with you! I’m not afraid and I’m not scared. My heart aches, and I’m sad, angryー”
