Chapter 139 An Apology Many Years Late



The Chen Ao who smiled at him in front of him was inexplicably the same as the Chen Ao who carried her to the hospital and stayed quietly by her bedside all night in her previous life.

Whether in the previous life or this life, it was obvious that she was not worthy of Shen Ao's kindness!

Bai Ying could no longer hold back the urge in her heart. She hugged Chen Ao tightly, buried her head in his strong chest, and murmured over and over again: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

She shouldn't have been too timid to stand up and testify for Chen Ao, proving that he didn't assault her, causing him to suffer an unjust accusation and waste the best years of his life in prison.

She shouldn't have been afraid of the world's eyes and not helped Shen Ao when he was out of tune with the world after he was released from prison. She just watched him coldly as he had to make a living by picking up scraps.

He shouldn't have turned away out of cowardice when he saw Shen Ao being blocked in the alley by some troublesome thugs, leaving the limping Shen Ao to be beaten by a group of thugs.

She was so wrong.

I don’t know if it was because of this reason that God allowed her to be reborn, giving her the opportunity to make this long-overdue apology to Shen Ao.

In her previous life, she was clearly not worthy of Shen Ao's help again and again!

Feeling a dampness on his chest, Chen Ao felt as if he was 'burned'. He seldom saw Bai Ying cry, let alone such a violent cry.

Shen Ao was so shocked that he didn't know what to do with his hands. After a while, he recovered and patted Bai Ying's shoulder, "Why are you crying for no reason?"

"You don't understand."

Bai Ying still buried herself in Shen Ao's arms, refusing to look up, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't really deserve you to be so nice to me."

Hearing this, Shen Ao's heart, which was already filled with doubts, became even more confused.

He didn't understand why Bai Ying always looked at him with unspeakable sadness and deep guilt, as if she had done something wrong to him.

If Bai Ying's resume had not been as simple as a blank sheet of paper, he would have really thought that Bai Ying was a spy sent by his political enemies.

As we spent more time together, the doubts increased instead of decreased.

Because most of the time, when Bai Ying looked at him, it was like she was looking at another person through him...

If he hadn't been sure that Gu Changkong, whom Bai Ying had loved, had nothing in common with him except for gender, he would have almost thought that he was Gu Changkong's substitute.

When he thought about the fact that he had a love rival who was so elusive, Chen Ao couldn't help but feel depressed.

But Bai Ying didn't want to say it, so he tactfully didn't mention it.

But no matter what, he didn't want to see Bai Ying in such a depressed mood. He wanted to see the carefree, sunny and happy Bai Ying.

Thinking of this, Shen Ao whispered: "There is no such thing as worth it or not. It just depends on whether that person is willing to treat you well."

Bai Ying paused for a moment.

Then, tears burst out uncontrollably.

She hugged Chen Ao tightly, as if she was hugging the Chen Ao to whom she owed so much in her previous life.

She seemed to have missed too much in her previous life...

Fortunately, she can have another chance, so she has time to make up for the mistakes she made and cherish the person who is so good to her.

Bai Ying's heart was filled with joy at having regained what she had lost.

Unlike her, Chen Ao felt a dull pain in his heart.

What did Bai Ying go through that made her cry so sadly?

Also, who is the other person hidden in her heart...

——

The lunch break passed quickly, and Shen Ao, who worked as a cow or horse on the farm, went back to taking care of the pigs in the pigsty.

Bai Ying doesn't have much time left to commemorate her past life. She has to live this life well so as not to let down this hard-won opportunity!

Considering that it would be a waste to keep the oysters around any longer, Bai Ying decided to use them to make oyster sauce.

She first prepared a few glass bottles left over from canned food, sterilized them with boiling water and then dried them, and then began the process of making oyster sauce.

Take out the oyster meat one by one, add water and cook until it becomes thick. The oyster sauce is then ready.

To make the taste richer, she also added some bean paste and salt to increase the saltiness, and a small amount of sugar to enhance the flavor.

Different from the commonly blended oyster sauce on the market, this is truly pure oyster sauce!

The only drawback was that Bai Ying spent an entire afternoon and used ten pounds of oyster meat, but in the end she only produced less than a jar of oyster sauce.

"I wonder what it tastes like?"

Bai Ying dipped her finger in the bottom of the pot to get some of the remaining liquid, put it in her mouth and took a sip, her eyes instantly lighting up.

"Um!"

It’s so fresh that it’s beyond words!

In order to maximize the deliciousness of the oysters, she took a few eggs to make steamed egg custard.

It is very simple to make steamed egg custard with a smooth surface. The first thing is to master the ratio of eggs and water, which is about one egg plus three eggshells of water, and then add a small amount of salt and beat evenly.

When putting the food in the steamer, cover the container with a plate so that the steam will not enter the bowl during steaming, thus avoiding excessive moisture and deformation.

When the time came, Bai Ying took out the egg custard from the pot with a towel, opened the plate covering it, sprinkled some chopped green onions to enhance the flavor, added oyster sauce for seasoning, and ate it with a spoon. It was so delicious!

After a busy afternoon, Bai Ying was already starving. She couldn't wait to try one, and it was indeed delicious!

Bai Ying did not eat alone. In addition to leaving a portion for Chen Ao, she also gave a portion to Old Chen.

The next step is to wait for Shen Ao to come back from work...

The sun gradually sank and the sky grew dark.
