Chapters 18 - 18: Memories

Xia Jing was stunned.

Very soon, her expression turned into one of extreme terror as memories flooded into her like a tidal wave.

Xia Jing who was engulfed in flames laid down weakly in the courtyard, and blurrily replied, "Big brother Lin Xiu …"

Who would have thought that in the next moment, a black figure would rush over and carried her. "Xiao Jing, don't be afraid, I'll bring you out right now."

Her consciousness had already begun to blur, and she could only vaguely see that the youth's white clothes had been burnt to a crisp by the flames. He was carrying her as he ran through the sea of fire, the flames licking his body and the smell of burnt flesh wafting through the air.

Her heart ached as she raised her hand to touch his face, but her body was still sent flying. She landed heavily on the ice-cold floor, and beyond the fire, the white-clothed youth had finally used up all his strength to kneel down, allowing the flames to bury him inch by inch.

That was the last time she saw him. He looked at her from afar, not the slightest bit of pain on his face, but instead a smile. The flames that filled the sky were not even comparable to the light that was emitted from his smile.

When the tears blurred his vision, Xia Jing realized that he was crying.

She quickly wiped her tears away and lowered her head to read the text message again.

With this look, her face revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

It had been five years, but her heart had never been as excited as it was now. Ever since the incident at Xia Family, she had been unable to recover, and her heart was like a dead shell without her soul, picked up by Shen Ruo Bai and brought back home, under his care and care.

On the contrary, Shen Ruo Bai had actually mentioned it to her once. When the Charley had gone bankrupt, he had already paid off all of his debts and told her to stay by his side with peace.

As expected, she was able to stay by his side. Day after day, year after year, the pain did not gradually heal, but rather pressed down in her heart, waiting for a day when she would completely forget it.

It was said that love will grow over time. She had always treated Shen Ruo Bai in this way. She slowly accepted his feelings and began to live a new life. Other than dreaming about the monstrous fire that had engulfed her parents that night and that white-clothed youth who had knelt in the sea of fire with a smile in order to save her, her life had been very smooth sailing.

He had originally thought that this would be the end of her life. Now that he had taken her life, she would continue to live by his side. It was only until not too long ago when Lin Xiu appeared on TV and the memories that were buried deep in her heart were brought back to her, that she suddenly realised how useless she was. All these years, she had been trying to escape.

She had lost her parents, and her family had declined. All of these matters were inextricably linked to her life. This was because she was from the Xia Family.

The fire had come too suddenly, and Xia Enterprise had also come too suddenly. It was her duty to find out about everything, so that her parents, who were in the sky, could rest in peace.

And also, she owed Lin Xiu …
