Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Love Cannot Be Disguised 1
In her past life, during those days of imprisonment, she could only curl up in a cold, dark room every day.
Every night, she was tormented by a deep longing for everything at home.
She missed her grandfather’s love, Mama Zhang’s cooking, and even the warm quilt at home.
At that time, she was truly desperate, thinking she would never have a chance at rebirth.
But she was reborn…
Hai Xiaotang was truly grateful to Heaven for granting her such a precious opportunity.
So, in this lifetime, she wanted to live well, without holding any grudges, without being entangled by her past.
However, she didn’t expect that while she’s moved on, Dongfang Yu could not.
Hai Xiaotang was not a naive person, she had a feeling that Dongfang Yu’s duel with Tao Yi today was not only about past grievances but also probably because of her.
Tao Yi undoubtedly already knew her relationship with Dongfang Yu, otherwise, he wouldn’t have remained unshocked today.
But why would they duel over her?
“Miss, Don’t worry, Dongfang will be fine,” Mama Zhang, thinking she was worried about Dongfang Yu, tried to comfort her.
Hai Xiaotang looked up at her, unable to suppress her words, “Mama Zhang, do you know, Dongfang Yu almost died today.”
Mama Zhang was startled, “So serious?!”
“He also saved me a while ago, and nearly died then too.”
Mama Zhang sat down opposite her, sighed and said, “It seems that Dongfang really has genuine feelings for you. He never acted like this before.”
Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flashed, “But 1 don’t love him anymore.”
“Miss, it’s okay,” Mama Zhang advised, “If you don’t love him, then you don’t. Don’t force yourself. Dongfang did the same in the past. You can’t fake love. And if there are feelings, you can’t pretend not to love. However, both of you, once you fall in love, you can’t pull back…no, thankfully you learned.”
It’s not that way. She learned only after she had died once.
Otherwise, she couldn’t have pulled back either.
So she was worried that Dongfang wouldn’t be able to break free in this lifetime either…
“Miss, the chicken soup is getting cold, please drink it quickly,” Mama Zhang urged her.
Hai Xiaotang nodded with a smile, and picked up a spoon to drink the soup.
That night, Hai Xiaotang thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep. But she slept deeply, though woke up very early.
As the sky was just lightening, she woke up.
Outside, a fine rain was falling. Hai Xiaotang swiftly got ready to descend the stairs, the moment she opened the main door, the cool raindrops immediately slapped on her face.
She took a deep breath of the refreshing air, feeling that summer was ending and autumn was near.
It was Saturday today, so Hai Xiaotang didn’t need to go to class.
She drove out of the old house, not to school, but to the hospital.
She didn’t know why she came here, but she just did.
Outside Dongfang Yu’s ward, two bodyguards in black were standing by.
Seeing Hai Xiaotang entering, they didn’t stop her.
Dongfang Yu hadn’t woken up yet; with his eyes closed, he was sleeping deeply. The dark atmosphere of room accentuated his defined features even more.
Hai Xiaotang, moving lightly, went over to the window and pulled open the curtains, allowing the bright light outside pour in instantly.
She opened a crack in the window, and the fresh air poured in, making the air in the room feel much more comfortable.
Down in the garden outside the window, a couple, patients perhaps, were strolling about under a red umbrella.
It was really early in the morning then and probably because it was raining, there was no one else in the garden except them.
The man, thinking no one was watching, sneakily kissed the woman’s cheek.
Both the woman and Hai Xiaotang laughed at the same time..
