His heart suddenly leaped, and even his face started to turn red.
"Good …" Long time no see. " "No," she said.
"I thought you'd never come here again. I came today just to try my luck. I didn't expect you to really come. " The man was still whispering in her ear, like the gentlest and most beautiful love words in the world. "You know, I miss you."
"Really? Would you miss me? " Qiao Xinran could not believe it. It seemed that this was the first time she had heard a man tell her that he missed her.
"Yes, I do. I really do." I'm still thinking that since you haven't come for so long, it means that you won't be coming in the future. He had met with some trouble and was unable to come over. "If I can't see you, I'll sit here and let my thoughts run wild. I've thought of countless possibilities, but I still can't see you …"
He spoke slowly, as if he were reading a poem, a love poem that belonged solely to her.
His words were so warm. His hands were so warm.
It seemed as though she hadn't heard such heartwarming words in a long time. In this world, there was actually another person who thought about her because she didn't come, who thought about her because she didn't appear, and who let his imagination run wild. It was great to feel that he needed to be remembered.
Tears flowed down her face, wetting his hands.
"What happened? Did that person bully you again?" His voice sounded a little panicked.
Qiao Xinran did not speak and only bit her lips. She didn't know how to say it. She couldn't tell him about the shameful things, the things that Han Mo had humiliated her to begin with.
Feeling her hot tears, the man's heart dull pain.
It was all his fault. He couldn't protect her, couldn't take her away from that man.
"I'm sorry, I have no way to stand by your side, so I caused you to suffer so much." He said guiltily.
Qiao Xinran shook her head, "It was clearly the fault of that demon, why did you apologize? I am already grateful to you for being able to talk to me like this and give me a place to relax. "
He fell silent, not knowing what to say.
He could have done more for her. A girl as good as her should have been happy.
Qiao Xinran smiled, "Do you know? I don't know what I want anymore. "
"He took me from heaven to hell like a demon, destroying my family, destroying all my happiness and integrity. "Besides torture, it's also an insult to me. Sometimes, I can even make a move …"
"However, he refused to let me go, and kept me imprisoned like a pet. The most laughable thing is that a true pet will also receive its owner's love and care. However, I do not even have the most basic of freedoms and self-esteem … "
As she slowly spoke, her tears fell drop by drop, wetting the hair by her ears and his heart.
"Why do you think people hate? In the past, I really did not understand, even if my stepmother broke up my family, sent away my brother, all day cold words to me, I did not hate her. But now, I know what it feels like to hate someone, to hate someone as well.
"I clearly hate him to death and I wish I could kill him, but I don't even have the strength to resist! I could only be tormented by him. I didn't even have a shred of self-respect, not even the courage to live. I wanted to run, I wanted to run … But there was nothing he could do … Because he would threaten my father, he would threaten my brother. What should I do? "What should we do?"
As she finished her sentence, her body began to tremble uncontrollably. Her voice became choked with sobs again, almost to the point of becoming hoarse.
"I'm sorry, I was just trying to find someone to talk to about this with you. I've been holding it in in my heart for too long, it feels too uncomfortable …" She calmed down a little and apologized.
However, his tears still flowed uncontrollably.
Perhaps only in front of him would she be able to cry so unrestrainedly.
"I am willing to listen to you. No matter what your thoughts are, you can tell me." His voice was still as gentle as ever, but there was a hint of heartache within that gentleness.
The girl in front of him, from the bottom of his heart, made him want to protect her. However, he couldn't help it.
"Thank you."
After saying all that was in his heart, he felt much more comfortable.
She had been holding it in for the past few days, and now, she was on the verge of breaking down.
"Why don't you let me see you?" she asked again.
"Because it's not time yet." "No," he replied.
Qiao Xinran was a little curious. What secrets did such a gentle man possess that made him never appear in front of her? "Then when can we start?"
The man thought for a moment. He really couldn't answer her question.
He didn't know when she would see it either.
He didn't know if the day she saw him would be like this, trusting him and telling him everything she knew.
"Can you tell me why I'm not allowed to see it? Is it because you look scary? Or are you not used to being looked at? "Or is there some other secret …"
As Qiao Xinran was speaking, she felt a warm and scalding lips fall down, and kiss her on the lips.
Gentle and loving, lingering and sweet.
She really wanted this moment to be frozen in place, never to pass by, never to be separated from him.
It seemed as if a century had passed, and it was only when she was short of breath that he reluctantly left.
"Remember, I'll always be here waiting for you, always thinking of you …" He leaned close to her ear and said lovingly.
Qiao Xinran's heart was beating so fast that she was about to jump out, her face had long ago turned completely red.
The large hand covering her eyes suddenly disappeared. Warm sunlight once again shone down on her body. Warm and lazy.
When she opened her eyes, there was no one around her. It was as if the him that appeared earlier was only a dream.
But she knew it wasn't a dream. He had truly come here before, and that kiss was also very real …
Her heart was beating even faster. She didn't know if he was still here, but she couldn't stay here any longer. She ran out blushing from embarrassment.
Running into the living room, he almost bumped into Uncle Chang who had just came out.
"Young Mistress, are you alright?" Uncle Chang supported her and asked.
"Oh, I'm fine." Qiao Xinran was somewhat absent-minded.
Uncle Chang glanced outside, then looked at the panicking Qiao Xinran, and asked in a low voice, "Has Young Mistress gone to the backyard again?"
She was stunned for a moment before nodding her head. She had avoided the Uncle Chang when she went out, but she had forgotten about it when she came back.
"Did the young mistress see that person?" Uncle Chang asked mysteriously.
"Ah?" How did you know, Uncle Chang? " Qiao Xinran was shocked.
