Chapter 320 He is not that kind of bad guy
Xu Qingsui looked at the burn scar on Huo Xilin's arm. It was very old and could not be seen unless you looked carefully.
She couldn't help but touch it.
The moment her fingers touched the scar, Huo Xilin quickly hid his arms behind his back.
Xu Qingsui's hand stopped in mid-air. After a while, she took it back and asked, "That place just now, was it burned?"
"Well, I got burned accidentally when I was a child." Huo Xilin answered truthfully.
"Because of what?" Xu Qingsui asked curiously.
She had discovered it before but had never asked him. This time, after having that dream, she saw the little boy's face clearly, and when she thought about the scar on his arm that was almost unrecognizable, it seemed that everything made sense.
"I was just being naughty. I accidentally knocked over the cup of boiling water and burned my arm."
"Really?" Xu Qingsui said jokingly, "I thought you were trying to save me from the fire and got burned."
Huo Xilin's smile froze on his face instantly. He asked, "Did you dream about this? What else did you dream about?"
Does he seem nervous?
If he had done something with a clear conscience, why should he be nervous? Why hide it?
Is he afraid of her knowing something?
It was Huo Xilin's fearful and nervous attitude that shattered the little hope that Xu Qingsui had rekindled.
She shook her head: "Actually, I didn't dream about anything."
After saying that, she glanced at the time. There were still three hours before the plane took off. It would take thirty to forty minutes to get to the airport. She needed to rest for another hour, but she was no longer sleepy.
She said to Huo Xilin, "Sorry to disturb your rest. You should continue to sleep. I will get up, pack some things, and take a taxi to the airport later." After saying that, she put on her pajamas and prepared to get out of bed.
Huo Xilin took it and pushed it back onto the bed: "Didn't you clean it up last night?"
"I'm just going to check to see if anything is left behind." Xu Qingsui said somewhat unnaturally.
Perhaps it was because of his nervous and fearful attitude just now that she felt a little resistant to his contact.
She always wondered what role the young Huo Xilin played in that car accident?
If he is a good man and an innocent victim, she doesn't blame him. However, there is a deep blood relationship between the two families and it is impossible for them to be together without any grudges. If he was also involved in the car accident or he was an insider, how should she deal with this matter?
Xu Qingsui was in a dilemma. This incident had already happened. If the Huo family was really involved, then no matter what choice he made, there would not be a perfect ending.
Perhaps their meeting was a mistake from the very beginning, but she was still grateful for such a mistake.
"It's still early. Sleep for another hour. It won't be too late to check when you leave. I'll take you there later." After Huo Xilin said this, he covered her eyes with his warm palms to block out the light.
"Go to sleep." His soft words seemed to have a hypnotic effect, gradually calming Xu Qingsui's restless heart. However, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. When she closed her eyes, she would see the dream just now and his clear and childish face.
However, in order to let Huo Xilin relax his vigilance, Xu Qingsui closed his eyes obediently and pretended to be asleep.
After a long while, he released his hand that was covering her eyes, looked at her sleeping face, and seeing that her eyes were not moving, he thought she was asleep.
He couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead and whispered what was in his heart: "I'm sorry, don't blame me for lying to you, I just don't want you to be sad, it would be great if you could be happy by my side all your life."
A happy smile appeared on his lips. Through Xu Qingsui's sleeping face, he seemed to see her as a child. He said again, "I'm sorry..."
Not until she separated from Huo Xilin and Xu Qingsui boarded the plane did she dare to take off her disguise.
Thinking back to what Huo Xilin had said in her ear when she was pretending to be asleep, she couldn't understand why Huo Xilin had to apologize and why he had to hide the past.
He said he just wanted her to stay by his side happily. So, assuming that what happened in the past must have made her unhappy.
Is it true that Huo Xilin was involved in this matter?
Xu Qingsui suddenly felt afraid. The death of her parents made her eager to know the truth, but her feelings for Huo Xilin made her retreat and want to escape. She knew clearly that the day she knew the truth, the relationship between them would end.
But can she continue to deceive herself now?
Obviously, it was impossible. No matter whether she chose to escape or find out the truth, she would not feel good. Moreover, as long as this matter was not resolved, the gap between her and Huo Xilin would not be eliminated.
Rather than living in this confusion, it is better to be dead with a clear mind.
After figuring this out, Xu Qingsui seemed to have made up his mind.
After getting off the plane, she returned to the courtyard immediately.
Lin Wan received the news that she was coming back in advance, and originally planned to pick her up at the airport, but she refused, so he waited for her at home, and bought some vegetables and prepared to cook some delicious food to treat her.
"Are you back?" As soon as Xu Qingsui entered the courtyard, Lin Wan heard the voice and came out to greet him.
Although the two had not been apart for long, Lin Wan was still very worried about her. Only after making sure that nothing was wrong with her did he finally feel relieved.
"That scumbag didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Lin Wan asked.
If it weren't for brother Xu's health, and if they weren't for the fear that he might encounter something bad and not be able to bear the trauma, the two of them would have already gone to the north to be supported by Xu Qingsui.
Moreover, Xu Qingsui only reported good news and not bad news, and Xu Di also insisted that Huo Xilin would treat her well and would not do anything to her, but Lin Wan was still worried.
Now that she saw the man standing in front of her unharmed, she felt relieved.
"No, he is not that kind of bad guy." Xu Qingsui thought he knew Huo Xilin quite well.
Although he hid things from her, she was still willing to believe that he was a good person.
After all, without Huo Xilin's help, there would not be her today, nor would there be Xu Di, who is gradually getting healthier, nor would there be such a lovely son.
"Hey, I don't know what kind of medicine that scumbag gave Brother Xu. Your brother actually believed him so much. I said I wanted to go find you, but he was unwilling to do so. He said that he disturbed the happy life of your family of three. Is he your real brother? I believe that outsiders don't worry about you at all."
