From childhood, he could only watch her from a distance, never dared to approach.
Watching her make funny faces at him, watching her stubbornly cling to her brother, watching her stand with hands on hips, laughing boisterously and arrogantly.
She ran across the lush green grass, climbed over the tall walls, and walked step by step into his heart through the shadows of illness, never leaving.
For the first time, he so wanted to hold onto something tightly, and never let go.
But why, why was there not even a trace of himself in her eyes…
“You must not…
bully him…
stick with me…” Xia Yuxun suddenly mumbled, while simultaneously slapping out.
Leng Siche narrowly avoided it, grasped her restless hands, and sighed helplessly.
This girl even thinks about fighting in her sleep.
Xia Yuxun’s cheek rubbed against Leng Siche’s arm and then hugged it, whispering softly, “Ache, from now on I’ll cover you, no one can bully you…”
Leng Siche’s body stiffened, then a warm rush filled his heart, his eyes becoming slightly sour.
This silly girl!
Did she dream of me?
“Fight me…
fight me…
no bullying him…”
“Xiaoxun, I am no longer the frail Ache of those days.
From now on, I should be the one to protect you!” Leng Siche whispered in her ear, “Xiaoxun, don’t always keep running forward, occasionally look back, okay?
I’ll always be waiting for you, waiting for the day you see me…”
The next morning, upon waking up.
Xia Yuxun sat blankly at the head of the bed.
Where is this?
It seemed like she was blackout drunk again…
But she dimly remembered that it was Leng Siche who had taken her in.
Although her clothes had been changed, because it was Leng Siche, she wasn’t worried at all. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Surely she had changed them herself, or he had asked a housekeeper to do it.
Her clothes from the previous day were placed at the head of the bed, already cleaned and smelling of laundry detergent.
…
“Hey!
Good morning!”
Xia Yuxun, having dressed in the cleaned clothes placed beside her pillow, opened the bedroom door and peeked her head through the crack towards Leng Siche, who was reading the morning paper by the dining table.
“Morning, Xiaoxun!
Come have breakfast!” Leng Siche called out.
Xia Yuxun, stunned, was almost dazzled by Leng Siche’s radiant, sun-like smile.
“Sorry for the trouble last night!” Xia Yuxun moved over and said somewhat sheepishly, considering getting drunk and staying over at his place was indeed quite improper behavior.
“No worries, we are friends after all; saying that makes it too formal,” Leng Siche chuckled.
During the meal, Leng Siche suddenly half-jokingly, half-seriously suggested, “Xiaoxun, how about I bring you to work closely with me?”
