BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2223
Chapter 2223: They were no longer so beautiful.
Perhaps it was because they never wanted to bloom, or perhaps it was because there was no woman accompanying these flowers, or perhaps it was really not time for them to bloom, but these tulips seemed to be wilting. Although there were still green leaves and flower buds, they were reluctant to show their beautiful moments.
Qu xiujie stood in the yard of the house. The yard still had her smile and the lingering sound of Mao Nana’s favorite song, but now it seemed that everything was no longer so beautiful.
The more beautiful a place was, the more pain it would bring. At this moment, qu xiujie did not dare to imagine how Mao Nana had insisted on staying in this small building.
He used to hate her so much, thinking that this woman was just like those other women, only following him because of his identity as the qu family’s young master. But qu xiujie really didn’t think that there would be such a person in this world. She was grateful to you for “saving” her unintentionally, and could only rely on you when she had no way out.
Being relied on was also a kind of happiness.
“Young master qu, if you like to stand here, you can do so. I’ll go in first. There are still some residue from your wine bottle on the floor. I’ll go in and clean it up.”
Charlie’s bodyguard looked at qu xiujie, who was standing behind him as if he had lost his soul, and continued softly,”when love tortures people, it’s usually when it’s about to end.”
Charlie turned around and walked into the small building, leaving qu xiujie standing alone in the courtyard in a daze. The place was filled with Mao Nana’s traces, her scent, and everything about her became clearer and clearer in the small building.
“If I didn’t want you to go back then, would you still be by my side?”
Qu xiujie held his photo in his hand. In his long life, no one had actually chosen to stay by his side because of him. And it was the most unremarkable person he had ever seen, but that person had given qu xiujie something called longing in the days she was gone.
He had once been abandoned by someone and did not want to trust anyone else, but because of this person, he finally believed in love, his sister’s helplessness, and PEI GE’s feelings for him. The qu family could not give them all this. They were just cold creatures, and feelings were the most extravagant thing in a big family.
Because luxury would become rarer, and because it was rarer, qu xiujie’s heart was filled with anticipation.
Charlie’s bodyguard was holding a broom and dustpan on the second floor of the small building. Through the glass, he saw qu xiujie standing in the courtyard. He slowly walked to the side of the stairs and sat down. He was injured and did not have his usual sharpness and resentment. This man would eventually meet someone who could match him, but Mao Nana could not see qu xiujie in this state.
......
As he swept down the stairs in an orderly manner, even the wine bottle’s fragments became so fine. Thinking of how PEI GE’s three children would one day come to the small building and play barefoot, Charlie’s bodyguard became even more meticulous in his cleaning and no longer had the time to look at qu xiujie outside the window.
Qu xiujie, who was sitting on the ground, was just looking at his own photo. There was no emotion in his eyes, as if nothing had happened. However, his heart was filled with sadness, and his emotions became even more insignificant.
Qu xiujie’s heart twisted into a knot when he thought of his initial attitude towards Mao Nana. His heart ached, and he felt even worse. How did that woman persist in the beginning? how did she see his attitude and persist until now?
Did you think about giving up? did you think about what kind of scum you were? did you want to scold yourself?
But now, qu xiujie didn’t dare to think about it anymore, because this person would never appear in front of him again. This woman had always been humiliated by qu xiujie because of her naivety, but she had never given up.
“If I take 99 steps towards you, will you be willing to take one step towards me? just one step will do. Just one step will allow me to persevere and take the second 99 steps. Because I’m also a human. I also want a bit of your response and comfort.”
But in the end, you never gave me gentleness, and it was never what I wanted to see. Then, does it mean that my second, third, or even fourth ninety-nine steps have no meaning?
When qu xiujie and Charlie came back from the hospital, it was still the afternoon. By the time Charlie had cleaned up everything in the house, he found qu xiujie still sitting on the stairs. He was as quiet as a stone block, not making a single sound or movement.
Charlie’s bodyguard looked at qu xiujie’s back. This arrogant man. A few hours ago, he was clearly in contact with the hospital’s security guards to make him yield, but now he was as docile as a cat. He was so fickle. Charlie’s bodyguard only took a few glances before he walked to the back door of the small building and watered the Rose in the backyard.
The closer it was to evening, the more the roses seemed to bloom. The courtyard was filled with a strange fragrance. It didn’t take long for the fragrance to spread into the house, filling it with this smell.
It smelled good and had a light fragrance, and her heart seemed to have calmed down.
Thinking about how qu xiujie was missing Mao Nana, Charlie’s bodyguard thought of his own girl. Before he had even expressed his feelings, that girl had already excitedly ran to Charlie’s bodyguard’s house and told him that she was going to marry another man. This man was not just anyone, but Charlie’s bodyguard’s brother.
The three of them were good friends who grew up together. Charlie did not know how his brother was better than him, nor did he know when the girl chose to be with his brother. He seemed innocent as if he had never known them. He did not know when he became the most innocent person in their circle of friends, nor did he know when he could end his current life.
