Chapter 137 - 139 【139】 Don’t Even Think About Touching a Single Hair on Her
After hesitating for a moment, she finally walked to his side, imitating his posture, and sat down on the floor.
The red carpet on the floor was already old. But still, you could see that a wedding might have been held here once.
Many beautiful things have changed beyond recognition over the years.
But that doesn’t deny that they once existed.
"If the person you care about sees you sad and upset, they won’t feel good either."
"The person I care about?" Liang Shaochen’s eyes turned vacant when he heard her words, his pupils shimmering with a bleak light.
As if murmuring to himself:
"Is there anything in this world that’s worth me caring about?" he said, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"If I had known this would be the result, I would rather pretend I never heard any news about you."
Xia Xiaonuan looked at Liang Shaochen’s handsome face, which now looked like a lifeless painting. Even though he had a tall figure, his body was half-leaning on the ground, somewhat curled up, like a helpless child.
Tears were welling up in his eyes.
Xia Xiaonuan extended her hand, placing her palm over her heart, where the pain was unbearable.
"Qiqi... how could you be so heartless? I searched for you for so many years and finally found you..."
"Qiqi... what should I do? What do you want me to do?"
"How am I supposed to live alone?"
"Do you remember we used to play hide and seek together? You always mischievously didn’t want me to find you. But every time, I could easily find you... so you’d get very angry.
Until that time when I suddenly couldn’t find you. I searched all the usual places you’d hide, but there was no sign of you."
Do you know how scared and panicked I felt at that moment?
You always said that one day, you would hide so well that I would never find you again!
I was so scared then, thinking I had lost you and would never find you again.
But in the end... I still found you.
In the church near the orphanage, I was so angry that you had hidden so far away. But seeing you so tired and hungry with that pitiful look, I couldn’t bring myself to get mad.
I held you, and from that moment, I made a vow to myself that I would never let you slip away from me again. Never to be separated from you again..."
At this point, Liang Shaochen picked up the bottle and took another sip of wine.
Xia Xiaonuan reached out and wiped away the tears on her face.
Liang Shaochen noticed her change and couldn’t help but ask, "Do you think I’m foolish?"
"No... absolutely not." Xia Xiaonuan shook her head desperately.
She and Liang Shaochen were shoulder to shoulder, she could even feel the warmth of his body. Warm, burning.
Xia Xiaonuan never knew that the always gentle and calm Nan Mo could have something so fiery and scorching hidden inside him.
And it belonged to her.
Liang Shaochen shook his head.
It seemed as if he regarded Xia Xiaonuan as his confidant.
"I know I’m foolish too... there are so many helpless things in this world. It’s so hard for two people to be together forever. But... I still long for it, hoping to find her and never be separated again."
"Stop..."
"How has she been all these years? I don’t even know if she’s happy, if she ever thinks about me..."
"Stop it!" Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t hold back her tears anymore, hugging her arms and curling up into a ball, her whole body shaking violently.
