"I can’t sleep, sis. Can you accompany me to build a snowman?" Luo Xuan suggested.
Because of their family’s poverty and limited toys, Luo Qi and Luo Xuan made use of everything in nature that they could play with - spring rain, summer bugs, autumn leaves and flowers and winter snow.
In the past, every winter, the two of them would build a snowman. As they grew older, Luo Xuan found it childish and stopped playing.
"You were busy, sis. You are free today, why don’t we build one?"
Upon Luo Xuan’s request, Luo Qi naturally would not refuse. She nodded in agreement.
Just like when they were kids, they started building a snowman.
Luo Qi wasn’t good at manual tasks, so she was in charge of collecting snow, while Luo Xuan was responsible for building.
Finally, they found two carrots to serve as eyes and a mouth, and this was how a snowman was created.
"Sister." Suddenly, Luo Xuan threw a snowball at Luo Qi.
Luo Qi was caught off guard and was hit in the face, smearing her face with snow.
"Alright, you dare to hit me, wait and see, I’ll get you back."
When Ah Chuan arrived, he saw Luo Qi and Luo Xuan playing around. He never thought he could see her smile so soon!
No, it seemed like it had been a long time since he last saw her smile. The old Luo Qi always hid all her life’s hardships in her heart, always laughing heartily.
But since that incident, she seemed to not laugh so much anymore.
Her heart was filled with so much sadness that she couldn’t smile anymore!
Ah Chuan’s gaze was so intense that Luo Qi could not ignore it. She turned her head and saw Ah Chuan standing in the doorway.
Luo Xuan also saw him and immediately stood in front of Luo Qi: "What are you doing here?"
Ah Chuan stood in front of Luo Qi: "I want to talk to you!"
"I’ve said everything I wanted to say. What else can we talk about?"
Luo Qi turned around to leave, but Ah Chuan stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "I just want to talk to you!"
"Let go of my sister, didn’t you hear her? She doesn’t want to talk to you." Luo Xuan tried to pry Ah Chuan’s hand off.
Ah Chuan remained silent, only tightening his grip.
"Nevermind, you go first, I’ll come in after a few words with him."
Luo Qi understood Ah Chuan quite well by now, he was determined to accomplish his goal.
After all, Luo Xuan was not as strong as Ah Chuan, what could he do?
"Alright, I’ll be at the door. Call me if anything happens." Luo Xuan slowly moved away from the door.
When no one was around, Luo Qi looked at Ah Chuan: "Alright, just say what you want to say."
Ah Chuan had a thousand words to say to her, but when he opened his mouth, only three words were left: "I’m sorry."
Sorry for all the hardships and grievances she had suffered.
Sorry for not being by her side, shielding her from all the storms!
"You didn’t do me wrong, you just don’t love me."
But love can’t be forced, what can she do about him not loving her?
Falling for someone who doesn’t love her back was fundamentally her asking for trouble!
"I know it all, everything that happened before, and in the operating room..."
Luo Qi was taken aback, but then she understood. She blinked her eyes, suppressing her grievance in her heart, "That has nothing to do with you, it’s not you who harmed me, you just..."
Ah Chuan didn’t help her, which was understandable, because he didn’t care about her!
Qingli was the one he loved, so was there anything wrong with protecting the one he loved?
"Are you done? If you are done, I’ll go back." Luo Qi spilled her arm out of Ah Chuan’s grip.
