Chapter 12 The Open Wound

The pain made her erect the thorns all over her body, and stared at him coldly: "Do you think it's interesting to tear open other people's wounds and watch others suffer?"

"I just want you to come out." His voice was low.

"If I hadn't met you, I would have walked out." She pushed him aside fiercely, and stood up: "No one reminds me of him, and no one always reminds me of that past, so I just walked out gone."

"You can't get out." He looked at her fixedly, there seemed to be a dark light deep in his pupils: "You still have rice grains."

Ye Chuxiao seemed to be hit by a boulder all of a sudden, and was speechless for a while before asking in a trembling voice, "How do you know?"

He didn't answer, just sighed.

"Don't tell Qi Zhen." She bit her lower lip tightly, and turned her eyes away, but there were faint tears in the corner of her eyes: "I beg you...don't tell him."

He was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Okay."

Ye Chuxiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the side of the bed with blank eyes.

As the morning light outside the window gradually turned white, Lu Zhengnan patted her on the shoulder lightly: "You go and wash up too, it's time to go to work later."

She stood up silently and went into the bathroom.

When he came out again, he had already changed his clothes and was looking at the drawings she brought yesterday.

"You are very talented." He raised his eyes and smiled sincerely at her: "Even if we have no personal relationship, it is right to choose you as the designer."

"Thank you." Ye Chuxiao said softly, feeling a little relieved in her heart.Everyone wants to be affirmed, and she is no exception. She also dreams of becoming a real designer one day.

"How long have you been in this business?" He put away the drawings and walked over to ask.

"More than two years." She replied, carrying her bag and following him out.

When he was about to reach the elevator entrance, he turned his head again with a flash in his eyes: "When you... left Qi Zhen, you hadn't graduated from university, right?"

She was startled, lowered her eyelids: "Yes, sophomore."

He didn't ask any more questions, but there was pity in his eyes.In today's society, one can imagine how difficult it would be for a girl without a diploma and pregnant out of wedlock.

She seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said lightly: "I asked for it myself, don't blame others."

The elevator dinged, and the doors slid open on both sides, and she walked in first, thus ending the topic.

Downstairs, in the city early in the morning, there are small stalls selling egg pancakes on the side of the road. From time to time, there is a hot aroma, a kind of warm smoke.

Ye Chuxiao crossed the road to get a car, Lu Zhengnan walked beside her, keeping to the left at first, and then to the right after crossing the center line, always blocking the side with cars.

It has been many years, and she has never been cared for like this. Ye Chuxiao can't express how she feels at this moment.In fact, since she witnessed the tragedy when she was a child, every time she saw the speeding cars on the road, she felt a deep sense of fear in her heart.It's just that her life does not allow her to be fearful and timid, so she can only grit her teeth, pretend she is not afraid of anything, and walk alone.

Although there used to be such a person who was by my side, but in the end, they still got separated.Now, there is him by my side, but it is probably only a brief encounter, and after all, they will turn around and disappear into the vast crowd.

He was right, her fantasies about love had all been destroyed, so she no longer dared to expect everlasting warmth.

After getting into the car, his figure gradually blurred into an invisible point in her vision. She squinted her eyes and looked at the road ahead, which was ups and downs and criss-crossing. It seemed that she couldn't tell the real direction to go...
