847 Returning late to see the present (42) _1
Goldy’s eyes hurt from crying and its head was heavy. It couldn’t hear what he said at all. Xu Chi had no choice but to half-support and half-carry her to the sofa.
He saw that she was wearing a slipper on one of her feet, and the other foot was on the ground with dust on the sole of her foot.
He got up and walked to the entrance to take out a pair of pink slippers. He turned back and squatted down. He gently pinched her ankle, gently pried off the dust on her feet, and helped her put on the slippers.
He stood up and walked away. After a while, he came back with a glass of water and a towel.
Goldy lowered her head and was still crying. He placed the cup on the coffee table and stood beside her, gently wiping her wet hair.
“It’s too dangerous for a girl like you to drive so far in the middle of the night. Let’s do it again next time.”
Without waiting for him to speak, Goldy suddenly raised its head and said in a fierce tone, ” “Don’t you dare lecture me.”
Xu Chi was stunned for a moment before explaining, ” I didn’t teach Yingluo a lesson.
“Don’t talk!” She shouted again, choking with sobs.
Xu Chi immediately kept quiet and helped her dry her hair in silence. He took a comb and combed her messy hair.
Afraid that she still didn’t want to hear his voice, he sat down beside her, his head tilted and his eyes were shining with light and heat.
Goldy raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face. She picked up the glass of water on the table and gulped it down in one go.
The moment she put down the cup, she heard him ask in a soft voice, ” “Do you want more?”
She sniffled and shook her head, indicating no.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Xu Chi explained, ” I’m not trying to teach you a lesson. I’m just worried about you.
How could Goldy not know? it just couldn’t control its emotions at a certain moment. At this moment, it was vexed that it had lost its temper, but it was too embarrassed to apologize.”I know,”
Xu Chi’s lips curled up when he heard this. so, you’re still angry that I rejected you back then.
Goldy turned her head to look at him. why? ”
A person like him shouldn’t be afraid of his parents ‘objection or criticism, so why did he reject her?
Xu Chi’s eyes were deep and dark. The towel in his hand was clenched and released. His low and hoarse voice slowly sounded, “Goldy, you were still too young at that time. I was worried that your love would be like the summer rain, coming and going as you please. Besides, your primary task at that time was to study.
He could be sure of his feelings for Jinjin, but he couldn’t be sure if she was as determined as he was. If she was just doing it on a whim, if one day she got tired of playing with him and found out that his feelings for him were not love, but just reliance on an older brother, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to climb out of it.
“You’re not me, how do you know that my love for you won’t last? Besides, being in a relationship won’t affect my studies.”
“Is that so?” Xu Chi’s eyes flashed with helplessness. who’s the one who’s reading novels at night instead of studying, causing your final exam results to plummet, and scaring the teacher into thinking that you’re in a relationship and talking to your aunt? ”
Goldy,”Ge Ge.”
Although what he said was the truth, she couldn’t help but retort in a low voice, “reading novels and dating are different.
Xu Chi had an expression that said, “I don’t understand you. you can only do one thing well when you’re focused on one thing. You can’t do anything well once you’re distracted.
Goldy,”Ge Ge.”
There was no way to refute.
However, he was still unconvinced in his heart. He raised his chin and said, ” then, why weren’t you afraid of affecting my studies later on? now, you’re not afraid of affecting my work?!
If she had read his letter back then, if she had gone to Country M, they would have been together then.
“The University is the epitome of this society. If you can get in, it means that you are already a mature adult. Even if dating affects your studies, I’ll just make sure you don’t fail the final exams.”
Goldy was so angry that it laughed. we don’t even study the same major. How are you going to cram for me? ”
“Are you admitting that you can’t do two things at once, or are you looking down on me?” Xu Chi knocked on her forehead.
Goldy rubbed its head in pain. It was secretly upset. It had forgotten that it was a genius who skipped grades in school. It had a photographic memory and could get full marks in any subject. In this school, it was called the God of exams!
Xu Chi controlled the strength of his hand and knew that it did not hurt. However, seeing that she was pretending to be in pain, he still pulled her hand down and gently touched the place where he had just knocked with his fingertips.
“Although I had good intentions, I was still young at the time. Perhaps I wasn’t mature enough when it came to handling relationships, and I’ve made you sad. I sincerely apologize to you, I’m sorry for Goldy.”
The skin on her forehead gradually became hot under the gentleness of his fingers. She raised her almond-shaped eyes and looked into his deep and hot eyes, and her heart trembled as if it had been electrocuted.
She turned her head to avoid his hand and burning gaze, and her crimson lips curled up slightly. it’s easy for you to say. That was the first time in my life that I was rejected when I confessed to someone. It would be over with just an apology.
Xu Chi: ” didn’t you reject me too? more than once.
“Where?”
the first time, you rejected the school I found for you and went to Australia. The second time, you rejected my confession. Xu Chi raised two fingers. can’t we cancel it out? ”
“We can’t!” Goldy was indignant. if you didn’t reject me, why would I go to Australia so sadly? why would I reject you when I came back? ” You reap what you sow, don’t blame me. ”
Xu Chi was convinced by her powerful “logic” and admitted defeat.
“I deserve it. I know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance?”
Goldy’s eyes were still red after crying. When it looked at him, it looked a little weak and pitiful. Its red lips were slightly pursed and it did not speak.
Xu Chi asked again, ” can I? Today, today, I’m sorry.”
Goldy lowered its eyelids for a few seconds, bit its red lips, and seemed to be thinking about something. It deliberately slowed down its tone and said, ” “I can give you a chance, but you have to promise me one thing.”
“What?” When he heard the little girl relent, his eyes instantly lit up.
Goldy held up the crumpled letter paper. you have to read the letter and the cards you wrote to me once. It’s your punishment for rejecting me.
When Xu Chi saw the letter in her hand, the smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly froze. He frowned and asked in a negotiating tone, ” “Can we change the punishment?”
Goldy was immediately unhappy. you just said that as long as I don’t cry, you’ll accept your punishment. Now you don’t even want to read your own letter. You’re lying to me. A man’s mouth is a ghost that lies, a man’s words can be trusted, a sow can climb a tree, a man’s Kasaya.”
Xu Chi raised his hands in surrender and nodded with a smile. okay, I’ll read it.
His tone was filled with helplessness and pampering.
