No one knew where the two men had gone so early in the morning. Based on her memory of watching the surveillance camera last night, she tried every room one by one, but only one was locked.
She knocked on the door.
Xia Youyou had just woken up, her mind was a little confused. She sat blankly on the mattress, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window. It took her a long time to remember where she was.
Thinking of Cao An and Na Ru whom she saw last night, Xia Youyou rubbed her forehead. She didn't want to face them and even had the idea of escaping.
Hearing a knock on the door, she looked over, not wanting to answer.
"Youyou, it's me." That voice spoke.
Xia Youyou lowered her eyes, not wanting to move much, just wanting to be alone and quiet.
Na Ru was outside and wasn't sure whether she had woken up or she just didn't want to come out.
Leaning against the door frame, he talked to himself through the door.
"Youyou, I learned what happened from them last night. I'm on your side. Let's ignore those two grown men!"
After saying that, she smiled and said, "Chenchen also said that he stood on his aunt's side and wanted to protect her. He just got up, dressed, and went to the gym to exercise."
Xia Youyou inside leaned against the pillow and pulled her lower lip, her eyes softening.
As Na Ru was speaking, two tall men approached from the end of the corridor. She gritted her teeth, her tone tinged with grit, "Youyou, this time, please don't forgive those two bastards so easily. They're really going too far! Even I can't stand it!"
"When I heard your brother actually said he wanted to take you to have an abortion, I was so angry that I wanted to bite him! My hands were swollen last night!" She said this, but her eyes were staring fiercely at the man who walked towards her with a fawning look on his face.
Xia Youyou, listening inside, felt a pang of pain in her heart, a sore nose, and she nearly burst into tears again. She pursed her lips to calm herself, trying to force back the tears, but her arms had already draped over her bent knees, wrapped around her shoulders, and buried her face in them.
The two men in the corridor stayed up all night. In order to help Qi Siling and himself, Cao An pulled Naru away from the door.
"Let me go! Stop pulling and tugging!" Naru untied Cao Anhuan's hand from her shoulder.
The sound gradually faded away, and Xia Youyou could guess what happened in the corridor without even looking.
There was silence at the door for a long time, and the couple remained silent for a long time, separated by the door.
Qi Siling swallowed his dry throat, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down for a long time before he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"long……"
"I'm sorry... I've never felt like such an asshole!"
"I should choose to believe you, Youyou..."
Qi Siling didn't say anything more. He knew that no matter what he said now, it would not make up for the harm he had caused her.
"I prepared some shrimp porridge for you. Do you want to come out and have some? You have to eat your fill before you can get angry, right?"
"Youyou, I'm not asking for your forgiveness this time. I just hope you can give me a chance to take good care of you while I can see you."
He knew how much his little girl had suffered, and that she had suffered all those grievances at his hands.
Sadly, he learned about her grievances from others instead of discovering them himself. What a jerk he is!
He raised his hands that were hanging at his sides and hesitantly knocked on the door. "Be good, come out and eat something. I won't force you anymore!"
Xia Youyou sighed deeply and finally decided to go out.
Anyway, her heart is broken. No matter how she tries to mend it, the cracks are still there. She can't stay in the room forever.
Qi Siling heard the noise inside at the door. He felt relieved, but also inexplicably panicked.
He was relieved because she had finally made some move instead of avoiding him. But he was also panicked because he felt like it really wasn't going to be that easy to get her forgiveness this time.
Xia Youyou came back too late last night and didn't take a shower. Now she was soaking in the warm bathtub and taking a comfortable bath.
She had to adjust her mindset to face Qi Siling and not allow herself to be so vulnerable anymore.
It’s okay if she doesn’t have a child. Sister Na Ru understands her and doesn’t mind her treating Chenchen as her own child. Then she will just take care of Chenchen from now on.
She changed into a half-sleeved long dress and tied her long hair up with a hairpin, looking neat and tidy. She looked carefully at the girl who was looking at her in the mirror.
It slowly changed from being desolate, to being empty, and then to being resolute.
Xia Youyou touched her eyes in the mirror with her fingers, "Xia Youyou, this time, you must be strong!"
The door opened, Qi Siling stood up against the wall beside the door, and turned his head to look at the girl who was looking at him.
The light in her eyes was gone, the light of love for him... gone!
Qi Siling's heart ached and he clenched his fingers tightly. Was he going to lose her?
Xia Youyou glanced at him, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Go down."
After saying that, she stopped looking at him, walked past him, and walked into the empty corridor.
Qi Siling followed woodenly, naturally slowing down his pace, following her rhythm, and slowly walked towards the stairs.
Xia Youyou didn't take the elevator this time, but walked towards the spiral staircase on the other side. Her small leather shoes made a 'clacking' sound on the floor, and each time it sounded like stepping on Qi Siling's heart.
She stopped on the second floor and went to the gym. She remembered that Sister Naru had said that Chenchen was in the gym, practicing on his own.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Chenchen hitting the sandbag with sweat all over his forehead.
Xia Youyou took a handkerchief and walked in with a smile.
"Chenchen."
"Aunt!" Chenchen's eyes lit up and he ran towards her quickly.
Xia Youyou squatted down and opened her arms, letting him throw himself into her arms.
The little guy's momentum was so great that she almost fell down. A big hand supported her from behind, and she was able to stabilize her body.
Chenchen noticed it, leaned on his aunt's shoulder, looked up at his uncle who was leaning over, stammered, and chose to greet him, "Uncle."
Qi Siling smiled at him and was about to say something when he saw that he had already looked away again and was talking to Xia Youyou.
"Aunt, did you sleep well last night? Are you sad?"
Xia Youyou took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead, "Little Chou Chou, Auntie is not sad. Are you hungry? Go take a shower, and let's go downstairs for breakfast."
Chenchen looked carefully at the expression on his aunt's face and found no signs of crying, so he ran to the bathroom in the gym with peace of mind.
Xia Youyou took out a set of Chenchen's clothes and wanted to go with him.
Qi Siling grabbed her arm, and Xia Youyou reflexively dodged, but was held tightly by him again.
"I'll go..." Afraid that she would misunderstand, Qi Siling hurriedly explained, let go of her arm, took the clothes from her hand, and quickly went to the bathroom.
Xia Youyou didn't look at him, but stood where she was. She covered the place where he was holding her right arm with her left hand, rubbed it a few times with her fingertips, and then pinched it hard.
She...actually, she still longs for his embrace in her heart.
Her eyes were wet, and she quickly lowered her head, biting the soft flesh to force back the tears.
It took her a while to adjust herself before she regained her composure.
As expected, giving up is not that easy! After all, she loves him so much!
