Chapter 625: Don’t underestimate yourself anymore

I don’t know how long it took, ten minutes or half an hour?

Xu Hui had no idea what was going on. It was as if his brain was flooded with water. His rationality had long been washed away and there was no way to salvage it. His whole head was dizzy, and he didn't know if it was because of lack of oxygen.

The only sound in my ears was the hot and rapid breathing of two people, which made it impossible to open my eyes.

At some point, he finally relaxed and pressed her into his arms. Her head was pressed against his chest, and the deafening beating of his chest immediately penetrated her ears.

"Did you hear that?"

His voice was unusually hoarse.

Xu Hui wanted to retract her head, but he held her down. "You are the woman I like. Don't look down on yourself anymore."

Xu Hui felt a sudden pain in his heart, followed by a surge of bitterness that burst out from his eyes.

She found it hard to reconcile what she was feeling at this moment, probably a mixture of emotions.

It seemed as if all the grievances, embarrassment, shame and unwillingness that had been accumulated for so many years were released at this moment.

At first she just shed silent tears, and slowly, she could hardly stop crying out loud. She never knew she could shed so many tears, she could cry so hard.

His shirt was wet with her tears. Those bitter tears seemed to stick to his chest and penetrate into his internal organs, making even the bottom of his tongue bitter.

She didn't know how long she cried, and then her voice stopped intermittently. She heard him say, "I'm tired of crying. Go eat."

She was a little embarrassed to look up at him at this time, so she lowered her head and turned away, choking and saying, "You've never seen someone cry so hard, have you?"

The corners of his mouth relaxed, and he handed the tissue to her. "Do you think lawyers haven't seen anything?"

"That's right," she said, pulling out a tissue and wiping away her tears. She tried her best to stop crying, but her sobs continued intermittently. "Actually, I'm not usually...a crybaby."

His voice was gentle, "From now on, you can cry if you want to, laugh if you want to, scold if you want to, do whatever you want."

Xu Hui's cheeks were burning hot and his throat was so tight that he couldn't make a sound.

He rubbed the steering wheel with both hands, looked at her and spoke again, "Have you thought it through now?"

Xu Hui thought to himself, why are you still asking? If you haven’t thought it through, then what did that just happen?

Do we have to force her to say it?

She glanced at him and replied, "I'm a little hungry."

His expression suddenly relaxed. "Okay, what do you want to eat? Grilled skewers or Hunan cuisine? Did you eat the lamb chops we had the other day?"

Xu Hui replied with a stern face: "I ate it, and it smelled strongly of alcohol."

His voice sank. "I drank quite a bit that day. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to you on impulse and scared you away."

Xu Hui tilted his head to correct him: "I wasn't scared."

He stared at her intently for three seconds, then suddenly said, "Explain what you mean by 'meeting me is a stroke of luck'?"

Xu Hui's heart tightened. It turned out that one by one, they had sold her out.

She turned her head to the car window, avoiding his sight. "You saved me twice. To me, you are a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. Isn't it just luck?"

He said calmly, "So, it's not because you like me."

Xu Hui turned her head and looked at him, tears still glistening on her eyelashes. She wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but when she saw his serious expression, without a trace of joking, her tongue suddenly changed its mind. She lowered her eyes and moved her lips slightly, "Why would I not like you?"
