Gong Bingye now wished there was a door in front of him so he could go back to the palace directly.
There was no traffic jam on the road, but the ten minutes or so felt like a year to him.
Running home anxiously, Gong Bingye saw Ling Mei sitting in the living room at a glance.
He was out of breath and asked anxiously, "Mom, where is that girl?"
The anxious voice was full of anticipation.
Ling Mei raised her head and signaled the opposite side with her eyes.
Gong Bingye turned around and saw Li Li sitting on the sofa.
His brows were sharp, "Is it you?"
"It's me." Li Li stood up from the sofa.
"Do you really know news about the girl?" Gong Bingye's voice trembled a little. He was probably afraid of hearing false news.
Li Li nodded.
"Where is she?" Gong Bingye's eyes turned red with excitement.
Li Li didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a pen and a sticky note from her messenger backpack. She wrote a few words on the sticky note, tore it off, and handed it to Gong Bingye. "She's here. If you go now, you should be able to see her."
Gong Bingye glanced at the address, then ran out without even giving himself time to think.
Half an hour later, Gong Bingye arrived at the address on the sticky note.
This is a small, single-story apartment.
He walked slowly towards the door, and each step he took became heavier.
Finally, finally, he walked to the door, raised his hand, and knocked gently, as if he was afraid that knocking too loudly would scare her away.
The rhythm of the knocking on the door was like his heartbeat, thump thump.
About a minute later, the door was opened by someone inside.
A woman wearing a mask appeared in front of Gong Bingye, revealing only a pair of eyes as bright as stars.
Xia Xingchen was frightened when she saw Gong Bingye. She subconsciously wanted to close the door, but Gong Bingye blocked it with his arm.
Seeing that he couldn't resist any longer, Xia Xingchen hurriedly turned around and went into the house.
Gong Bingye came in from the door, looked at Xia Xingchen's back, and asked, "Are you really a girl?"
Xia Xingchen turned his back to him and remained silent.
Gong Bingye slowly approached her. Xia Xingchen seemed to sense his approach and turned her head to the side.
"Why are you wearing a mask? Let me see your face?" Gong Bingye asked tentatively.
Xia Xingchen dodged and walked to the side, subconsciously covering her face with her hands, and said calmly: "Don't look, it will scare you."
Such a tone and such an attitude instantly made Gong Bingye feel warm in his heart.
"Girl, you are really my girl." Gong Bingye's eyes turned red with excitement.
He walked up to Xia Xingchen eagerly, wanting to take a closer look at her, but as soon as he walked over, Xia Xingchen avoided him again.
Gong Bingye felt very disappointed. He was worried that if he got any closer to her, the girl would stay away from him even further.
So, he stood there, not daring to move, looking at Xia Xingchen's back, and said with great guilt: "Girl, it's all my fault that I didn't protect you well. That's why you fell into the hands of that beast Mingjie..."
Whenever he thought about the day when he didn't receive Xia Xingchen's call, he felt so regretful that he wanted to kill himself.
"But don't worry, I've already avenged you. I've returned the pain he inflicted on you tenfold and a hundredfold."
However, Xia Xingchen remained indifferent.
Gong Bingye asked cautiously: "Girl, are you still angry with me?"
Xia Xingchen still didn't speak.
This made Gong Bingye begin to doubt. He knew that the girl was not talkative, but she was not polite enough to not say a word.
"Girl, why don't you speak?" Gong Bingye frowned.
Xia Xingchen ignored him, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Xia Xingchen, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly heard subtle footsteps behind her. She was startled and shouted to stop him, "Don't come over."
Gong Bingye, who was walking slowly forward, subconsciously paused. The next second, seeing that Xia Xingchen did not do anything extreme, he continued to move forward.
Xia Xingchen turned around abruptly upon hearing the voice, "If you take another step forward, I'll immediately..."
She turned around so quickly that she lost her balance and fell sideways. Seeing this, Gong Bingye quickly reached out and grabbed her waist.
In an instant, their eyes met.
After a moment, Gong Bingye subconsciously reached out to take off Xia Xingchen's mask. When his hand was about to touch her ear, she hurriedly blocked his big hand, "Don't look, it will scare you."
Gong Bingye's eyes were filled with heartache. "What on earth did he do to you?"
Xia Xingchen seemed to be at a loss for words, her eyes gradually moistening. After a while, she stood up from Gong Bingye's grasp, turned her back to him, and said sincerely, "We should not meet again in the future, because I am no longer worthy of you. You are so outstanding and deserve better."
"Tell me the reason." Gong Bingye uttered word by word, and every word he uttered seemed to be dripping with blood.
Xia Xingchen pretended to be calm and said, "I said, I'm not worthy of you."
Gong Bingye forcibly straightened Xia Xingchen's body and said domineeringly, "Who I like is my own business. You have no right to make decisions for me. I like you and I'm determined to be with you for the rest of my life. Don't even think about getting rid of me."
Xia Xingchen frowned slightly, looking very painful. "Do you think the white doves in the church will kiss the crows in the fields?"
Gong Bingye understood what Xia Xingchen meant, but he still answered without hesitation: "Yes, but they will die in the rumors, but... I'm not afraid!"
"As long as I can be with you, no matter where we are, I will be happy."
Xia Xingchen didn't say anything, but just looked at him very affectionately. Seeing this, Gong Bingye gently took off her mask. Suddenly, a red and swollen face appeared in front of him, and in an instant, a crystal tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
Gong Bingye's first reaction was shock. After so many days, her face was still swollen?!
When Xia Xingchen realized what was happening, she realized her mask had been taken off. She panicked, turned around and took several steps forward, covering her face tightly with her hands. "Why are you doing this? You clearly have a bright future ahead of you. There's no need to waste your time on a trivial woman like me."
An insignificant woman?!
His girl would never belittle herself like that.
"Go away, I don't want to see you again. From now on, don't come to me again!" Xia Xingchen suddenly became angry.
Gong Bingye was silent, but he didn't leave in a hurry. He stared at Xia Xingchen's back.
Xia Xingchen asked persistently, "Are you leaving or not?"
Gong Bingye: “…”
Xia Xingchen: "Okay, if you don't leave, I'll leave!"
As she spoke, she walked towards the door. Before she took two steps, Gong Bingye compromised, "Okay, I'll leave, right away."
Xia Xingchen heard the footsteps getting farther and farther behind him and slowly turned around.
You, Gong Bingye, are so infatuated with Xia Xingchen, so infatuated that you are willing to give up everything for her!
