Chapter 353 Distance
"Qingsui, I am willing to do anything for you. You don't have to say thank you to me." Qin Fang felt uncomfortable every time he heard Xu Qingsui speak polite words to him.
Because politeness means a sense of distance. Even if he cannot be with her as a lover, it is also good to be with her as a friend or brother.
"Brother Qin, you have done so much for me, but I have nothing to repay you. Apart from thank you, I really don't know how else to express my gratitude to you. Do you understand?" Xu Qingsui said to Qin Fang.
She couldn't give him what he wanted, or rather, she couldn't resist her own heart. Even if she was with him, her heart couldn't be with him.
Xu Qingsui didn't want to do this. It was unfair to Qin Fang and a great insult.
"If I were your family member, would you be grateful if you accepted my help?" Qin Fang asked Xu Qingsui.
"Yes." Xu Qingsui said affirmatively: "I will be grateful to anyone who helps me, even if that person is my own brother."
Family love is too precious to Xu Qingsui because she has experienced the pain of losing her loved ones since she was a child.
All the feelings in the world are earned through hard work. Only those who know how to cherish can gain long-lasting and sincere feelings.
It is precisely because he has lost before that Xu Qingsui understands this truth.
"What if that person is Huo Xilin?" Qin Fang asked, "During that time when you knew clearly your feelings for him and his feelings for you, did you accept all his kindness to you as a matter of course?"
Qin Fang's question stunned Xu Qingsui for a moment.
Because before he asked this question, she could say with certainty that she was grateful to everyone who was kind to her, and she did not take other people's kindness to her for granted.
However, Qin Fang's words made her affirmative answer no longer certain.
Because her kindness to Huo Xilin in the past not only took it for granted, but also became a habit. She enjoyed it with peace of mind and did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Since when did she no longer feel burdened by Huo Xilin's kindness and dedication?
She didn't have to worry about whether she owed him too much or whether she could pay him back in the future.
I still remember when they first got together, she would feel very uncomfortable even if Huo Xilin was a little bit nice to her. For any of his efforts, she would rack her brains to think about what she could do to repay him.
Probably the only thing she could do at that time for the great benefactor who saved her brother was to pledge herself to him, so every time she met Huo Xilin's requests, she tried her best to satisfy them, even though she was a virgin and didn't know much about that aspect. Fortunately, Huo Xilin had good skills and was very patient, and he didn't embarrass her.
She didn't dare to lose her temper with Huo Xilin. In front of him, she always felt inferior and looked at him with admiration.
But later, slowly, the way they get along became more and more normal. When she encountered injustice, she dared to lose her temper with Huo Xilin. She could also clearly refuse things she didn't want to do. She no longer had to consider his feelings, but paid more attention to her own heart.
The distance between them grew closer, and the way she looked at him changed from admiration to love, and even condescension.
By now, their statuses have been completely reversed. He has become the humble and flattering one, while she has become the superior one.
Thinking back on the earth-shaking changes that have taken place between him and Huo Xilin from the past to the present, as well as his mental journey, Xu Qingsui's heart became extremely complicated.
For a man like Huo Xilin, no one can force him to bow down unless he is willing to lower his status.
The status between the two of them was that he just lowered his proud head to cooperate with her, not that she, Xu Qingsui, was so powerful.
Although Xu Qingsui didn't say a word, Qin Fang knew what she was thinking by looking at her reaction.
"Qing Sui, admit it. In this world, everyone is the same to you, even your closest relatives. But Huo Xilin is the only one who is special to you."
Qin Fang's words left Xu Qingsui unable to refute.
She smiled a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "So what? He and I are getting divorced, and there's no going back."
There is a deep blood feud between them, not to mention that he and Yan Xisui are entangled endlessly. She cannot accept any flaws in the relationship. If it is a cooperative relationship, she can't help it. She can turn a blind eye and just do her own job well, just as serving the boss well.
However, in the relationship, she could not tolerate his cheating behavior, whether it was physical or mental, she could not accept it.
Qin Fang wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't say a word of comfort.
After all, Yan Xisui is lying next to Huo Xilin now. With the previous experience, he doesn't dare to hold her in his arms to comfort her because he doesn't have the status to do so.
The only person who has that status doesn't know how to cherish it.
Two people who are suffering in their hearts can only look at each other and maintain restraint and distance.
Time passed by, but the assistant still didn't call.
Xu Qingsui glanced at the time. It was already past four in the morning. In more than an hour, people would start to get up one after another, and the news would spread more and more widely, and the impact would become greater and greater.
Unable to sit and wait for death any longer, Xu Qingsui could no longer wait and took the initiative to call his assistant.
However, no one answered the phone.
"What's going on?" Qin Fang asked, "The assistant didn't answer the phone either?"
Xu Qingsui called again, but still no one answered.
Qin Fang said angrily: "I'm afraid Huo Xilin was behind this. You trusted him so much, but you didn't expect that he was such a sinister villain. We really misjudged him!"
"Brother Qin, do you think something has happened to Huo Xilin?" Xu Qingsui was panicked and asked Qin Fang in a crying voice.
Even at this point, she still firmly believed that this was not done by Huo Xilin, and he was not such a villain.
Even if he wants to take revenge on someone, he will do it openly and will not use such shady tricks.
There must be some misunderstanding, or he must have encountered some accident.
"Qing Sui, what can happen to him? He is just watching our show. He is Huo Xilin. He has countless bodyguards, assistants, and secret agents around him. What do you think will happen to him?"
As a member of the same upper class, Qin Fang knew Huo Xilin too well.
