Chapter 138 - 140 【140】Don’t Even Think About Touching a Single Hair on Her Head 2
"You... what’s wrong?" Shaochen seemed to snap back to reality, looking at the somewhat out-of-control Xia Xiaonuan, gripping her shoulders and asking in confusion.
Xia Xiaonuan simply shook her head desperately, crying.
What’s wrong with me? I don’t know what’s wrong with me either?
Listening to the person I love saying such things in front of me, yet I can’t respond, can’t comfort, can’t drop everything and just hold him tightly.
I just hate why heaven treats me like this! If I had known earlier about this painful torment, I would rather not have come back to life in this body.
I would rather really be dead!
Now... What should I do?
"You..." Shaochen half-knelt on the ground, reaching out and lifting her chin.
"Qiqi... Qiqi..." Suddenly, he murmured, involuntarily calling her name.
Xia Xiaonuan’s whole body stiffened.
With her chin lifted by a hand, through tearful eyes, she saw the face that had haunted her dreams slowly approaching her.
Her tears stuck there.
And his lips, just like that, kissed her.
Cold, soft lips.
Only... that kiss, just barely touched, then quickly separated like an electric shock.
Xia Xiaonuan’s heart still tightened, as if it had stopped beating. She could only widen her eyes and foolishly stare at Shaochen.
Shaochen met her eyes, and in an instant, it seemed as if something shattered within them.
"Sorry..." He suddenly seemed to wake from a dream, quickly letting go of her and slightly stepping back.
His eyes glinted with a trace of confusion.
What was wrong with him? Why did he mistake her for Qiqi?
Was it because she had the same name, he mistook her for Qiqi? Or because... her tearful look just now bore some resemblance to Qiqi? Or... did he miss Qiqi so much that he was hallucinating?
"Just now... I’m sorry." He said to Xia Xiaonuan earnestly, like a child who had made a mistake.
Xia Xiaonuan could almost guess what he was thinking.
He probably mistook her for Qiqi.
But, you fool, I really am Qiqi?
She looked at the panic and guilt in his eyes, her heart also being torn bit by bit.
"It’s okay..." Her cheeks slightly flushed, shaking her head.
The atmosphere instantly turned somewhat stiff.
Both looked at each other, somewhat dazed, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, suddenly, the door of the chapel was kicked open.
Xia Xiaonuan was startled.
Turning around, she saw several strange men breaking in.
Holding shiny sharp knives in their hands.
Shaochen’s face darkened severely as well.
"Xia Xiaonuan? Are you Xia Xiaonuan?" The leading man pointed a sharp knife at Xia Xiaonuan, roughly asking.
"What do you want?" Shaochen quickly grabbed Xia Xiaonuan’s arm, helping her up, then immediately moved to shield her behind him.
He looked as if he had sobered up halfway.
His series of actions were swift and agile.
Quick enough to surprise and shock Xia Xiaonuan.
He did it without any hesitation, directly protecting her.
She vaguely remembered when she was young, there was a time at the orphanage when, being small, she was bullied by other kids.
At that time, Nan Mo was like this, pulling her behind him and protecting her with his body.
Xia Xiaonuan felt a warm current sweep through her heart.
