Chapter 126
"You're in love with her." This was something that Duan Yunxuan was very sure of.
He Ruiting paused for a moment as he held onto the bottle of wine, neither admitting nor denying, maybe he was just surprised that he cared so much about a woman.
"It was because you fell in love with her that you kept putting Yi Yi's operation behind her, right?" Duan Yunxuan had sensed it a long time ago, but had not mentioned it.
He Ruiting's mind suddenly recalled the time when he was together with her, he suddenly realised that in this period of time, he had changed a lot, especially with his daily habits, he was used to eating with her, going out to play with her, sleeping in the same bed as her, and getting used to his waiting for him in the living room when he returned, getting used to having her by his side.
"If I told you that I would not hesitate to protect her between her and Yi Yi, would you believe me?" He Ruiting suddenly laughed bitterly, it turned out that he had unknowingly fallen in love with her, it was unknown when, maybe when she was ignoring his life to block the blade for him, or maybe when the two of them were going out to climb the mountain, or maybe even earlier, He Ruiting could not tell when.
"It's not 'if'. You've already made your choice when you pushed the operation time again and again." Duan Yunxuan said.
Only now do I realize that on the surface, it seems like I've been protecting her. But in fact, she's been silently guarding by my side the entire time, always at my side whenever I need her. As for me, I break my promise every time and keep her injured. He Ruiting lowered his head. Duan Yunxuan could not see the emotions in his eyes, but he could clearly feel how lonely the current He Ruiting was.
Duan Yunxuan didn't know how to comfort him, and even wanted to beat him up a little. No, in fact, he did what he had done before. He grabbed He Ruiting's collar and pulled him up from the sofa: "He Ruiting, are you fucking a man or not!"
Duan Yunxuan was in the army camp, so this punch was not light at all. He Ruiting fell on the sofa, dispirited and did not want to get up.
Seeing him in that state, Duan Yunxuan once again pulled him up and roared: "You don't want to hurt Yi Yi, you don't want to hurt Su Jinyi, but, what about now? You hurt both of them. Do you know how much Ivy blames herself and feels guilty now? Su Jinyi is gone, don't tell me that you don't want this sister of yours either? "
After Duan Yunxuan finished roaring, he punched again. This punch was even harder than the previous one.
"Why don't you just beat me to death!" He Ruiting's emotions were also stirred, he grabbed Duan Yunxuan's hand and continued to wave it in his face.
"He Ruiting, wake up! She's gone, not dead. How dare you be sad here? Can you be a bit more manly! If you're capable, why don't you just chase her back! " Duan Yunxuan struggled out of his grasp and roared loudly.
He Ruiting sat down on the sofa, casually picked up the bottle of wine in front of him, and gulped down a large mouthful. A portion of the wine leaked out from his mouth and flowed down his throat, and after that, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "She spent so much effort to escape from my side, will I still be able to find her?"
Hearing He Ruiting's words, Duan Yunxuan calmed his previous excited mood and sat down beside him, "Don't worry, as long as you want to find her, you will definitely be able to. You are He Ruiting after all."
Yeah, he's He Ruiting! He could do anything, and was called a god by everyone. However, he was just an ordinary person. There were also things that he couldn't do. For example, he would often be caught unprepared when it came to her matters.
However, the woman that he, He Ruiting, had set his eyes on, could only be his woman in this lifetime!
Tonight, Duan Yunxuan was still unable to bring He Ruiting to the hospital, because he continued to drink until the latter half of the night. Only when he was completely drunk and could no longer move did Duan Yunxuan carry him back home.
Thus, on the second day, He Ruiting did not appear on time for the morning meeting. When Zhou Xin called him, He Ruiting was still in his sleep, so he could only cancel the morning meeting, and help him arrange for the rest of the trip. First, he had to vacate his entire day's travel so that he could be free at least until night.
When He Ruiting woke up, it was already three in the afternoon. He held his forehead and sat up from the bed, looking around him, yes, he had slept a little muddle-headedly, then recalled the memory of what happened yesterday. Although he could not accept the fact that Su Jinyi had already escaped yesterday, he had to face this reality that she had not come in the morning, oh no, it was already afternoon.
After a simple wash, He Ruiting slowly went downstairs. Na
y Lin was in the courtyard helping Uncle Xu clean when she suddenly heard He Ruiting calling her.
"Mr. Hoh, you're up." When Na
y Lin entered the room, she saw He Ruiting rubbing her head while drinking water. Then, she asked, "Do you need the Spirit-Sobering Wine Soup?"
"No need, get someone to clean up the room." He Ruiting said.
"Alright." Na
y Lin replied, then prepared to go and call for help, when suddenly He Ruiting stopped her.
"Get someone to clean her room every day. Don't move the things inside." He Ruiting instructed again.
"Alright, I understand." Na
y Lin's eyes were filled with sorrow, but she did not let He Ruiting see, he was already feeling terrible, and she could not add fuel to the fire.
He Ruiting turned around and prepared to go upstairs, but Na
y Lin called out, "Mr. Hoh, don't you want to eat something?"
"No, don't disturb me for now." He Ruiting didn't even turn his head back as he went upstairs.
Last night, when Duan Yunxuan carried the drunk him back, she was very surprised. This was the first time she saw He Ruiting getting drunk, and they were very sad to see Su Jinyi leave, but the most sad person was still He Ruiting. They couldn't really advise him otherwise, because in front of him, they had to be extremely careful in their words, afraid that they said something wrong to make him unhappy.
Su Jinyi had already lived in the She family for a period of time, and this house had already left behind Su Jinyi's footprints, in He Ruiting's heart, he could not erase them no matter what.
