Nixxxie exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
Placing his hand still on the door, Lu Feng replied, "I just want to talk to you and I want to apologize to you for not being able to do anything for you even though, I know my apology won’t be enough for it."
"You are right so let me go and stay away from me. That is what you always did," she looked angry as well as hurt.
"Nicky, won’t you forgive this brother?" He asked.
"I had only one brother and he is dead," she replied coldly as nothing from him was working on her cold and wounded heart.
He was ready to accept all the hatred from her and spoke, "I want to help you and this time I want to make everything right for you."
"No one can help me. If anyone will try to do anything, that person might end like my brother so stay away. I don’t want to see anyone getting hurt because of me, so please....."
"Nothing will happen. This time I won’t let you down like in the past. I will take you out of this," Lu Feng insisted.
"No. I don’t want you to do anything now and I never even expected you to do anything for me in the past too." Suddenly she felt chocked in her throat with the emotions she was feeling inside and said, "but... I.... just wanted you to come and visit me at least once in a while but you failed to do that. You called me little sister but you left me all alone so stop calling me sister and stop acting as if you care for me." she looked like on the verge of crying.
"I do but..." he didn’t know how to explain it to her, "I was wrong. I am sorry."
"No, I won’t accept it." Saying it tears started to roll down from her eyes. Lu Feng stood there to let her out everything.
"I was all alone after brother Xi Guo left. I was so young to understand things. I just wanted to see at least one person in whose eyes I could see care for me as my mother was struggling with her own pain. After elder brother, you were the only person I expected it from and only one to show up at least once, but you left me." She was standing there while crying.
Lu Feng didn’t interrupt her.
"You left one young and miserable girl alone whose eyes were waiting for you to show up even by a mistake but you didn’t. I won’t ever forgive you, never." Saying it she started to cry and sob, even more as if everything buried in her heart for so long was coming out at once.
Seeing her like this, Lu Feng stepped towards her and without a second thought, he hugged her. Nixxxie didn’t resist his hug and cried her heart out.
Jiang Yang was able to hear everything from inside as it was not a soundproof room. He felt bad for her. From the talk between three friends the previous night, Jiang Yang got to know about the relation between Lu Feng, Xi Guo, and Nixxxie.
For Lu Feng, she was like a younger sister and he too cared for her as much her own brother did, but after the death of Xi Guo, he had to leave her alone because of certain circumstances and he couldn’t help her.
Once she was calm, Lu Feng took her back to the Jiang Yang’s worktable and made her sit on the chair. Grabbing the box of tissue papers, he sat on another chair and passed her tissue papers to clean her face. He picked up a water bottle from the table and passed it to her after opening a lid.
She obediently did what he wanted her to. She wiped her face and teary eyes then had a sip of water. For a while, there was silence and no one talked.
Once she was calm, Lu Feng messaged Jiang Yang saying come out and receiving it, Jiang Yang did the same. Realizing Jiang Yang’s presence, Nixxxie avoided looking at him as her eyes were swollen because of crying.
Jiang Yang sat in his chair and didn’t ask what happened. Suddenly Nixxxie spoke to look at Lu Feng, "Your sudden appearance in front of me made me realize the reality of my life which I almost forgot these few days. Thanks for reminding it to me and stopping me from doing a mistake."
Both looked at her to know why she was saying it suddenly.
Moving her sight from Lu Feng to Jiang Yang she said, "Thanks for the lunch Doctor Jiang Yang and there won’t be any next time." Saying it she left without looking back, leaving both of them stunned.
Lu Feng understood the reason behind her such behavior and said while looking at Jiang Yang who was in a little shock with what she just said, "Let her be Jiang Yang. She has her own reasons."
"I know but just a while ago we were good but now.. suddenly..."
"I know what you are thinking but for now we should leave her alone."
"Hmm! As you say." Suddenly Jiang Yang’s sight crossed the wet spot on Lu Feng’s white shirt. Just above his chest. It was obvious to understand what was that but Jiang Yang didn’t ask him anything and averted his sight.
Noticing it, Lu Feng spoke, "I always considered her as my younger sister just like Lu Lian and Lu Bao."
Jiang Yang smiled to hear it and said, "You don’t have to explain it to me anything, Lu Feng. I know you well. I am happy that you are the one to be on her side."br>Lu Feng was relieved to hear it but just then Jiang Yang spoke that made him frowned, "Moreover, I know, you won’t ever look at anyone other than my sister, at least not for few more years."
Lu Feng sighed, "Won’t you ever stop talking bulls**t?"
