"I was worried about you. I was already getting ready to go to sleep, and I didn't even have time to change my clothes before coming to find you in my pajamas. I stayed up all night watching over you and was so tired that I fell asleep next to you. When I woke up, you slapped me. You didn't know anything, so why did you hit me?" Lu Qingyan spoke calmly at first, but then she became a little aggrieved. She tried her best to remain calm, and finally she really calmed down.
"I—" Rong Xu suddenly couldn't speak. In fact, he was not a very eloquent person, especially when facing Lu Qingyan. Now that he knew he had wronged her, he was filled with remorse.
“Uncle Rong, you don’t know anything.” Lu Qingyan said, getting up, putting on her cotton-padded coat, and walking out of the hotel.
"Lu Qingyan!" Rong Xu shouted from behind Lu Qingyan.
Lu Qingyan turned to look at Rong Xu and said coldly, "Uncle Rong, please don't call my name so loudly. People who don't know better might think I've committed some serious crime. After all, with your status and position, there are quite a few people who want to curry favor with you. If they misunderstand me, I don't know what will happen. I know I don't have the surname Rong and have nothing to do with you. I shouldn't have the audacity to call you 'Uncle.' My desire to be with you was like a toad trying to eat swan meat—a pipe dream. Don't worry, I will never be so foolish again. I will find a chance to repay your kindness in raising me."
After Lu Qingyan finished speaking, she walked out without looking back.
When the door was closed, Rong Xu coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He was perfectly healthy, so how could this be? Rong Xu thought in astonishment, only able to recall Lu Qingyan's face.
Lu Qingyan walked aimlessly down the street, the cold wind biting at her.
She left in a hurry without taking anything with her, and the tears on her face had long since frozen away by the cold wind, leaving only a bright red face.
You'll never waste your feelings on that person again. You should be happy; you'll meet someone who likes you again.
But no matter how good that person is, he's not Rong Xu anymore, the one who reached out and pulled you up on your way home when you were a child. He has a handsome face and will smile at you with a gentle yet wicked smile: "Little sister, hurry home."
Lu Qingyan cried for a while, then suddenly laughed. She laughed for a while, then started crying again.
Her frenzied behavior made those around her think she was crazy, and they looked at her with disdain and moved a few steps away from her.
Perhaps their initial approach was a mistake. She called him "uncle," and he used that title to constrain her, and also to trap himself.
The distance between the two people was only one hundred steps. One person walked ninety-nine steps, and the other turned back and took one step.
The distance between them was about a thousand steps. She mustered all her courage and walked forward nine hundred and ninety-nine steps plus half a step, but he refused to look back even once.
What did all those years of kindness he showed her amount to?
Or was she too obsessed, and became possessed?
The snowflakes fell in a flurry, unlike those at X University where they melted as soon as they hit the ground; instead, they piled up and grew thicker and thicker.
Even after so many years, Hu's mother's voice still rings in her ears: "You were born a troublemaker. It's already a miracle that we didn't abort you when you were still in my belly. You were given a second chance at life, but you don't know how to work properly. All you do is slack off all day. Who would like someone like you?"
Lu Qingyan opened her mouth to refute: She didn't slack off; she was more diligent than anyone else. She started doing chores at home as soon as she could speak.
