Chapter 409 Xie Yi's Apology
The body is surrounded by a warm and strong embrace.
That's... Dad's arms.
I don't know why, but tears just flowed out of my eyes. I felt so ashamed and embarrassed.
She obviously didn't cry before.
Why did she...
She really didn't want to cry...
Chu Chengxian gently stroked Chu Ci's back.
"Be good, cry. A daughter can cry in her father's arms."
This was not Chu Ci's saddest day.
But it was the day when Chu Ci showed his most vulnerable.
Because Chu Chengxian gave her the safest and most secure place for her - her father's arms.
###
The next morning, Chu Chengxian took Chu Ci to a place.
In the courtyard stood a tall young man, with his back to them at first.
As Chu Ci and Chu Chengxian approached, the man turned around.
Xie Yi? Why is he here?
Chu Chengxian explained: "I was the one who notified him to come. There are some things that I think he would want to explain to you in person."
Explain to her?
Chu Ci looked at Xie Yi in confusion.
Xie Yi lowered his eyes, feeling that he had a lot of thoughts hidden in his mind.
Chu Chengxian left the courtyard, leaving the space to Xie Yi and Chu Ci.
After Chu Chengxian left, they were the only two left in the quiet courtyard.
After a long silence, Xie Yi slowly spoke: "Chu Ci, I'm sorry."
The sound is not loud, but can be heard clearly in a quiet room.
"Xie Yi, what are you talking about?" Chu Ci's eyes were bright.
"I owe you."
"What are you talking about? Do you owe me something? We..."
"I've known you for a long time, I've known you for three years."
Xie Yi's voice was low and his eyes were inexplicably sad.
Chuci was confused.
"Three years ago?"
"Your adoptive parents...that car accident...was originally...targeted at me."
Xie Yi finally spoke out the secret that he had kept in his heart for a long time.
Chu Ci shuddered.
That car accident... was a past event that Chu Ci didn't want to mention.
That day, she lost the two people who loved her most in the world.
The perpetrator of the car accident had long been convicted and the matter had long been buried.
Xie Yi looked at Chu Ci's pale face, his heart filled with guilt.
"Those people were coming for me, but they accidentally hit your car." Xie Yi confessed to Chu Ci, "If I hadn't moved out of the way at that time, you wouldn't have been in any trouble."
When the car rushed towards Xie Yi's car, Xie Yi dodged it with his flexible operation and quick reaction.
But the result was that the other car hit the car behind him.
Xie Yi escaped, but Chu Ci's family suffered.
Chu Ci should bear a great responsibility for the death of his adoptive parents.
Xie Yi looked at Chu Ci guiltily. The seeds of guilt had sprouted and grown over the past three years, filling his heart.
Xie Yi's words brought Chu Ci back to that day.
Her mother's warm body protected her and held her tightly in her arms.
Warm blood flowed from the mother's body and dripped onto her hands, body, and face.
As time passed, my mother's body gradually became colder.
Her body temperature gradually turned cold and her consciousness became blurred.
Memories made Chu Ci's face pale and lifeless.
Looking at Chu Ci like this, Xie Yi's eyes were filled with heartache.
"I'm sorry." Xie Yi apologized, "I've only told you now because I never had the courage to confess to you. It's probably because I still have some selfish thoughts in my heart."
