Chapter 293 Cry It Out

Qu Le was frightened by Bai Yao's calm words.

"Hehe, I didn't say you."

Qu Le didn't give Bai Yao a chance to question her any further. She immediately grabbed Jiang Duo's arm and dragged her out the door. "Come on, let's go out and talk. I'll take you to the garden. It's so beautiful."

Bai Yao glanced at Qu Le's running back and snorted in disdain.

Jiang Duo and Qu Le walked through the garden and had a very pleasant conversation.

"Why do I feel that you are nothing like the person Xiaochuan mentioned?" Jiang Duo tilted her head and looked at Qu Le's face carefully.

Qu Le was now curious: "What did he say about me?"

"He said his senior sister is beautiful and powerful, aloof and otherworldly, even when flirting, she seems distant. Xiaochuan wants to be like her most in his life, and he's practicing hard to catch up with you."

Jiang Duo frowned and looked Qu Le up and down, "But I think you are just an ordinary little girl."

Still a bit of a scumbag.

When Qu Le heard Jiang Duo's words, he first frowned, then his face twitched with a complicated expression, "Did he say anything else?"

Jiang Duo nodded. "He said you're never fragile, never submissive, and you'll swallow your anger. You never cry, nor laugh uncontrollably. You're always so proud."

Jiang Duo paused slightly when she said this.

But the Qu Le she had just seen, the Qu Le who stayed beside Bai Yao, and the Qu Le in front of her, was not the senior sister that Luo Chuan mentioned at all.

She is like a flourishing flower, or a running fox, free and bright.

Both softness and toughness emerge in her, and the power of life and spirit flourishes in her.

Such a flesh-and-blood person will definitely cry and laugh, and cry loudly and laugh out loud.

Jiang Duo collected her thoughts and continued, "I think maybe what he said was one side of you."

After hearing what Jiang Duo said, Qu Le swept his tongue across his fangs and bit his lower lip, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Didn't he say anything else? About me?" Her voice was muffled and a little aggrieved.

Jiang Duo shook her head decisively, "That's it to sum it up."

Qu Le's heart trembled slightly, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation enveloped his chest.

"Really?...that's all..."

It turns out that this is how she is in Luochuan's eyes.

It can't be called a misunderstanding, but I just have an inexplicable feeling of being betrayed.

It’s like a grown-up child who suddenly realizes one day that his parents don’t love him, or don’t love him as much as he imagined.

It turned out that she thought that she had known Luochuan for many years, but it was all wishful thinking on her part.

A drop of cool air suddenly fell on Jiang Duo's nose. She looked up in a daze, and two more drops fell.

She subconsciously reached out to catch it, "It seems to be raining."

It may rain even on sunny days, but it won't be heavy or last long.

Qu Le collected his thoughts and pulled Jiang Duo's wrist, "Let's go back. Don't let us get wet in the rain."

Qu Le turned around and wanted to go back, but his feet froze in place.

Because she found that as they walked, they came to a corner that she was not familiar with, and she completely forgot the route they took.

She turned around and looked at the forked roads, muttering to herself, "Where did we come from..."

But the garden was so small that they could find their way back by just walking forward, so Qu Le pulled Jiang Duo and walked towards a randomly chosen path.

Jiang Duo pulled the music and pointed to the right with certainty, "Not this way, that way."

Qu Le looked in the direction Jiang Duo's finger was pointing, then turned his gaze back to her face, looking surprised, "How did you know?!"

These three paths are not exactly the same, but they are pretty similar. She has lived here for four or five years and still gets lost. How could Jiang Duo remember them after walking them once?

Jiang Duo smiled and pointed to her head, "I have hyperthymesia. I can remember everything I've seen."

Qu Le lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him with a bright smile, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She asked hesitantly, "Wouldn't that be very painful for you?"

When Jiang Duo heard Qu Le's question, the smile on her face froze. She slowly opened her squinting eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked at Qu Le's face in a daze.

The light in his eyes was dim and unclear.

Qu Le looked at Jiang Duo's gradually falling face and thought he had said something wrong.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I..."

"No, no, you don't have to apologize," Jiang Duo quickly interrupted Qu Le and immediately regained her smile. "I just didn't react for a moment. When other people heard I had hyperthymesia, the first thing they did was tell me how cool and amazing I was, and how they wanted to be like me..."

Qu Le was the first person besides her parents who cared about whether she would suffer.

But her parents have been gone for many years, and no one has asked her if she feels sad for many years.

This sudden concern made her chest feel like something was suddenly opened up, and a strange warm current mixed with sourness rushed out.

"No one would ask me this question like you... It's been a long time since my parents left..."

"I……"

As Jiang Duo spoke, her voice began to choke and her eyes became uncontrollably blurry.

"I..." She raised her hand and wiped her cheek with her sleeve. "I'm sorry... I..."

Qu Le looked at Jiang Duo sobbing, and a strange kind of heartache passed through his chest.

She took two steps forward, raised her hand to rub the little head, and held the petite girl who just reached her chin in her arms.

"Well, dear," she patted Jiang Duo's back gently and whispered comfortingly, "You've been great. You've made it through all these years."

Jiang Duo is really small and short, about the same size as Qu Le when he was ten years old.

It is very difficult to fall asleep with hyperthymesia, and her figure must be related to this disease.

"I know you're having a hard time. You can cry. You can relax a little. No one will blame you..."

"Cry, everything will be fine after you cry."

Qu Le gently patted the thin and short girl in his arms, his eyes staring blankly into the distance.

"Be good...cry it out."

She seemed to be taking the opportunity to comfort Jiang Duo to tell something to some other people.

The person she was holding in her arms was Jiang Duo, also ten years old.

How wonderful it would have been if, when she was ten years old, someone had gently told her that she could cry, that she didn’t have to be strong, and that there was an embrace where she could cry her heart out.

Suddenly, Bai Yao's face flashed through Qu Le's mind. She remembered Bai Yao telling her in a mean way that he liked to see her cry.

The corners of Qu Le's mouth curled up unconsciously.

The sunny and rainy clouds above gradually dispersed, and the sunlight shone through the gaps onto the two girls hugging each other.

One was crying and the other was laughing.

You see, the rain on a sunny day never lasts too long.
