Chapter 390 Acknowledgement
"Because you don't remember me, I want to start over with you." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, I have my own selfish motives. I'm afraid that you will no longer like me when you think back to your childhood. After all, there is still Qin Fang between us, isn't there?"
"So, the person I liked when I was a child was Qin Fang?" Xu Qingsui asked puzzledly.
She just forgot the memories about Huo Xilin, but she remembered the memories with Qin Fang clearly.
She knew very well that no matter when she was a child or now, her feelings for Qin Fang were the same as a younger sister's feelings for a brother, and there had never been any love between a man and a woman.
But her feelings for Huo Xilin were very strange. She had obviously forgotten him, but when they met again, she was still involuntarily attracted to him.
It was as if it was destined.
Huo Xilin lowered his head and said, "I don't know. When we were young, the three of us were very good playmates. You and Qin Fang knew each other earlier than I did..."
There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "I dare not bet that the person you like will definitely be me. What's more, we have been apart for so many years. Since you have forgotten me, it must be because I am not important to you. In this case, let's just treat it as us getting to know each other again."
Listening to what Huo Xilin said, it seemed reasonable, but Xu Qingsui always felt something was wrong.
But for a moment, she couldn't say it.
"You always asked me before if I had ever lied to you about anything, and I said I had no choice." Huo Xilin smiled at Xu Qingsui and said, "Yes, I lied to you about this matter. Now that you know, I feel relieved. Now, I can face you calmly."
"Are you hiding anything from me?" Xu Qingsui asked.
Huo Xilin was silent for a while, then asked, "What do you mean? I can't guarantee that I haven't lied to you about everything, but I can guarantee that I will never do anything to really hurt you."
After hearing what Huo Xilin said, Xu Qingsui actually felt a little relieved. If it were in the past, she would definitely be very sad. However, now, after going through so many things, her mentality is getting better and better.
As the old saying goes, no one is perfect, and it was normal for Huo Xilin to deceive her. After all, she couldn't be 100% honest with him.
"Do you still remember the car accident my parents had?" Xu Qingsui thought about it and decided to ask Huo Xilin directly: "Did I tell you where my parents and I were going at the time? Did you appear at the scene of the accident after the accident? Why did you disappear without telling me?"
A series of questions made Huo Xilin's expression become somewhat solemn.
He stared blankly outside the car, the emotions in his eyes becoming very complicated, even a little painful, as if that memory was too unbearable for him to look back on.
Although Xu Qingsui was anxious and eager to get an answer from Huo Xilin, she still waited patiently and did not urge him.
After a long while, Huo Xilin sighed and said to Xu Qingsui: "It's been too long, and I don't remember many things. I feel very sorry about the car accident involving my uncle and aunt..."
Huo Xilin paused for a moment and continued, "I wanted to say goodbye to you when I left, but the car accident caused you to fall into a coma, and before I could wake up, your mother took you away. I have always been sorry about this. When I was able to decide where to go, I went to look for you, but the Xu family compound was deserted and you were no longer there. The property rights were also taken away by the creditors. I had no choice but to purchase that area, which can be regarded as temporarily preserving the traces of our past lives."
This was the first time Xu Qingsui heard Huo Xilin mention anything about their childhood.
However, she did not hear the information she wanted to know.
Huo Xilin has an excellent memory. Even though a long time has passed, she still believes that he will not forget those things. He just doesn't want to tell her the details.
What happened that year was so deliberately hidden?
Qin Fang and Huo Xilin were both hiding things from her and trying to fool her. The more they did so, the stronger Xu Qingsui felt that this matter was related to her.
No matter what, she must find out the whole story!
Seeing Xu Qingsui's solemn expression, Huo Xilin's eyes showed a trace of worry. He raised his hand and gently rubbed her hair, and said comfortingly: "Those are all things of the past. Uncle and aunt must also hope that you can live a happy and healthy life. Look forward to everything, okay? Don't pursue it anymore."
The words that Huo Xilin used to persuade her were exactly the same as the ones Qin Fang used to persuade her.
If she still had doubts before, now she was very sure that Qin Fang and Huo Xilin must know the real cause of her parents' car accident, and they were unwilling to tell her.
In that case, she would check it out herself.
In order to prevent Huo Xilin from becoming a stumbling block to his knowing the truth, Xu Qingsui thought that he must dispel his guard.
So she smiled at him, pretending to be relieved, and said, "You are right, those are all things of the past, and there is no point in pursuing them anymore."
Huo Xilin looked at Xu Qingsui carefully, and seeing that she looked calm, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you have any questions in the future, just ask me directly. Next time we go back to the courtyard, I will take you to see the place where I lived and tell you about our childhood." Huo Xilin said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me the first time. Don't force yourself and don't force yourself to recall the lost memories. Don't embarrass yourself. If you are sad, I will be worried too."
Huo Xilin talked a lot, and his worry was not pretended.
A man as decisive as him, with a cold face and an even colder heart, would only show his soft side in front of Xu Qingsui, and she could feel it all.
Therefore, it was difficult for her to refuse his kindness. She could only nod at him and respond obediently: "Okay."
Today, Xu Qingsui is so obedient that she seems almost unlike herself.
Huo Xilin knew that the things he had tried so hard to hide might no longer be concealed. When the day came when the truth came out, what should he do?
His eyes were full of worry and pity when he looked at Xu Qingsui.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingsui felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. She asked, "Have I ever done anything too extreme before?"
Huo Xilin shook his head: "You have been very well behaved since you were a child, so everyone likes you very much."
