Chapter 156 - 158 [158] Competing for Attention with the Little Bun 3
"Why... are you so nervous?" There was a trace of complexity and suspicion in Liang Shaochen’s eyes.
Xia Xiaonuan smiled, "Nothing... I just feel surprised... that such coincidences exist in the world."
"Yes..." Liang Shaochen sighed, seemingly speaking casually:
"Just like last time, when everyone couldn’t find me, you... were able to find me in the church."
Xia Xiaonuan’s heart was in turmoil, for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.
Liang Shaochen still asked.
"May I ask... how did you think of going there?"
Xia Xiaonuan thought of Nangong Zhongli.
Then thought of Nangong Yaoling.
Thought of her own identity.
She slightly bit her lower lip.
"I saw on TV before that the church is a very sacred place, and people whose hearts are wounded often like to go there to heal... I told the driver to go to the church..."
"But that church is very secluded..." Liang Shaochen pursued the question. His tone remained gentle, yet within that gentleness, there was a trace of firmness and stubbornness.
This stubbornness caused Xia Xiaonuan to feel both bitter and painful in her heart.
"Maybe... to earn a bit more money, that’s why the driver took me there!"
Dark eyes fixed on Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes.
A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Yet he smiled.
Casually said, "Yes... nowadays, taxi drivers go to great lengths to make money."
Xia Xiaonuan stood up from the chair.
Placed the orange in her hand into the fruit bowl.
"Well... you have a good rest, I... I’ll be leaving now."
"Hmm... you too, take care of yourself." Liang Shaochen looked at her, his eyes filled with deep light.
Xia Xiaonuan blushed fiercely under his gaze.
"Thank you." She said nervously. As she turned, she bumped into the chair behind her with a "bang."
"Are you okay?" A pleasant voice inquired.
Xia Xiaonuan looked back at him: "I’m fine... goodbye."
Almost as if fleeing in haste.
Liang Shaochen watched the fleeing figure, his lips gradually pursed.
There was a touch of sadness in his gaze.
Qiqi, although... you left me, why do I always feel that you are still by my side?
...
Walking in the hospital corridor, Xia Xiaonuan felt restless.
A little boy in front, holding two apples behind, accidentally fell because he ran too fast.
The apples rolled right to Xia Xiaonuan’s feet.
Xia Xiaonuan came to her senses and picked up the apples.
Then hurried forward and helped the child up.
"Are you okay?" Xia Xiaonuan asked gently.
The child, tearful on the ground, looked up at Xia Xiaonuan and was stunned for a moment.
Then he stopped crying.
Xia Xiaonuan reached out and wiped the crystal tears from his eyes.
"Boys need to be brave, you can’t cry just because you fall."
The little boy was stunned.
"But big sister, why are you crying?" The boy said, imitating her, and reached out to wipe her eyes.
Xia Xiaonuan then realized that she had involuntarily shed tears.
She hurriedly wiped away the tears.
Picked up the little boy.
"Sister is not crying, just happy."
"Happy?" The boy asked in confusion: "Why do you cry when you’re happy?"
This... Xia Xiaonuan also didn’t know how to explain. After all, he was almost just a three-year-old boy.
Xia Xiaonuan had no choice but to say, "You will understand later, people’s tears are not only because of sadness, but also tears of joy!"
