Chapter 230: Xiaoxiao, You Are My Answer
However, Ye Chuxiao did not want to mention the Tang Group to Lin Chusheng at this time, so she changed her words and said, “Senior Student Ziyi has an important work meeting, so Brother Chusheng cannot chat with Senior Student Ziyi tonight. But Brother Chusheng doesn’t need to be too disappointed, Senior Student Ziyi said he will pick me up later.”
Lin Chusheng found it both funny and exasperating. Xiaoxiao had misunderstood his meaning. He asked about Lu Ziyi not because he wanted to chat with him, but because he… wished he wouldn’t show up.
“Xiaoxiao, don’t worry,” Lin Chusheng said with ease. “Let Ziyi be busy. If it gets too late, tell Ziyi not to come over. I’ll call the Lin Family’s driver to come to the hospital now to take Xiaoxiao back.”
Lin Chusheng was the happiest tonight, with Xiaoxiao sitting in the chair by his hospital bed, exclusively with him, chatting.
Lin Chusheng strategically played the nostalgia card, reminiscing about the interesting events from when he and Xiaoxiao were children.
Ye Chuxiao also smiled beautifully. It was so joyful to have a brother grow up with her!
Lin Chusheng looked at Ye Chuxiao’s lovely smile, paused, and said very seriously, “Xiaoxiao, do you remember when I had a high fever and you came to take care of me, and the next morning at breakfast, I said there was something very important I wanted to tell you?”
“I remember.” Ye Chuxiao saw that Lin Chusheng’s expression was a bit solemn, and she also stopped smiling. This must be something very significant.
“Xiaoxiao,” Lin Chusheng gazed into Ye Chuxiao’s eyes and slowly said, “This is what I want to tell you now. I met Tang Jie’er at a dinner party. It was love at first sight for me; I found her very beautiful and dazzling. I once loved her earnestly, until later, she said she had fallen in love with someone else and left me!”
“Huh?” Ye Chuxiao was very surprised. Miss Jie’er broke up with Brother Chusheng because she fell in love with someone else? So that’s why the very proud Brother Chusheng has been so sulky and annoyed lately?
Lin Chusheng no longer had the emotional turmoil he once did. He calmly continued, “After breaking up with Tang Jie’er, I fell into confusion, unable to see myself clearly, feeling more anger than sadness.
“Until that night, when I was in a daze, Xiaoxiao, you appeared before me, making me feel incredibly calm and grounded. I finally found my answer.
“That night, my mind was filled with memories of us growing up together, and I even dreamt of you. But as the dream was about to end, you left, leaving the world that belonged only to us.
“I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling for a long time, feeling very dejected. I thought you had already left.
“But when I walked into the living room, I saw you curled up on the sofa, sleeping dazed. You were still here, and the emotion and joy were indescribable.
“I can no longer, no longer, bear to let you leave me! Xiaoxiao, it was I who didn’t cherish you properly, who didn’t continue the days we spent together. I’ve reflected on it for a very, very long time!
“Xiaoxiao, I love you! That morning, I knew with absolute clarity that, in the depths of my heart, it was you I loved!
“Because of you, a bowl of plain congee became the most delicious meal in the world; because of you, a handful of baby’s breath became the most beautiful flower; because of you, a heart became as pure as a child’s…
“Xiaoxiao, I don’t want to miss you! Give me a chance to pursue you, okay? I love you!”
