novelLuoxi's Right Leg Is A Little Disabled
| ← Ch.0683 | Ch.0685 → |
This time, Xia Xiaofu decided to do away with the pain, and she swore that she had to definitely forget about Ou Luoxi.
She received a call from Chen Jingyu, and Chen Jingyu asked her out for a meal. She agreed.
Xia Xiaofu went over to a Western restaurant. The restaurant had a nice ambience, and there was a comfortable and moving tune playing in the air. Chen Jingyu was already seated and waited for her.
Xia Xiaofu sat down opposite him. The service staff served the dishes, and she ordered a steak.
"Xiaofu, I assumed that I would be unable to see you anymore." Chen Jingyu was half joking as he spoke.
Xia Xiaofu sliced a piece of steak and placed it into her mouth to chew it. After she was done, she raised her head up to look at Chen Jingyu and said, "Mr. Chen, I am sorry. Before yesterday, I thought that I was still unable to forget that person, but from today onwards, I really want to start life afresh again."
"Then I have a chance now?"
Xia Xiaofu winked her eyes cheekily and said, "It would depend on your performance."
They were dating officially. Xia Xiaofu went over to Hawaii to film a drama, and Chen Jingyu went over to visit her. They made an attractive couple, and many people wished them well.
Chen Jingyu always had good taste, and he was well educated. He brought Xia Xiaofu over to Sanya for a vacation, and both of them were suntanning as they chatted with one another. They were very relaxed as they had a common topic to chat about.
Xia Xiaofu went back from the beach to the hotel. She went into her room, and very quickly, the doorbell rang. Chen Jingyu was standing outside her room.
Chen Jingyu was dressed in a white shirt. He looked handsome and cool, and he waved the bottle of sun recovery cream in his hands as he said, "The sunshine is very strong today. I am afraid that you will get sunburnt. This is for you."
Xia Xiaofu had forgotten to bring sunblock, and just now when she was at the beach, she mentioned it casually, but she did not expect Chen Jingyu to bring it for her.
"You went out to buy this?"
"Yeah. I drove out to get it. It was just a few minutes of my time."
Xia Xiaofu was very touched. They all said that the best way to recover from a relationship was to start a new relationship, and Chen Jingyu cared for and respected her greatly. Maybe this was really the bliss that women want.
She stretched her hand out to take the lotion.
But she did not manage to get it because Chen Jingyu raised his hand up. He had a glance at her room, and his eyes were sparkling brightly as he looked at her exquisite features and asked her, "Did you not plan to invite me inside to have some tea?"
Xia Xiaofu froze for a moment before she curled the corners of her lips up. She let go of the handle before turning her body to the side generously as she said, "Please come in."
Chen Jingyu walked into the room.
Xia Xiaofu closed the door before walking inside as she asked, "What tea do you want to drink?"
She just took two steps, and her soft waist was embraced by two strong arms. Chen Jingyu embraced her into his arms from behind, and the matured and gentlemanly man's embrace was surprisingly comfortable and warm as he laughed and said, "You are really inviting me inside for some tea?"
"What else do you want?"
Chen Jingyu pressed his body down, and he kissed her small supple cheek gently as he said, "I saw how you looked when you wore the bikini today. You are so beautiful. I suddenly just felt that I wanted to kiss you. Would I scare you by being like this?"
Xia Xiaofu's voice was coy and soft as she said, "I am not..."
Upon hearing her say it, Chen Jingyu placed both of his hands on her small shoulders and turned her over to face him. He took a few steps forward and pushed her against the wall.
He looked at her red lips, and his gaze was slightly hot.
Xia Xiaofu already understood the matters between a man and a woman. She also knew that he wanted to kiss her. Xia Xiaofu did not resist it, and her small hands that were by her sides were tightly clenched together as she placed them against the wall. She looked at him with her youthful, almond-shaped eyes.
Chen Jingyu slowly bent over and went towards the direction of her red lips.
Their lips were getting closer, and they were just about to touch, but suddenly, a melodious ringtone rang out in the quiet room. Xia Xiaofu's phone was ringing.
Chen Jingyu stopped himself, and Xia Xiaofu silently let out a breath of relief. She had an apologetic smile on her face as she said, "I have to answer this."
"Go and answer it quickly, " Chen Jingyu said extremely graciously.
Xia Xiaofu walked over to the side of the bed stand before she took her phone up. It was a call from Ning Qing.
She's rarely contacted Ning Qing as of late. Ning Qing was involved in a series of events, and after that was all said and done, she held the wedding of a century with Lu Shaoming and got pregnant with twins. Lu Shaoming banned Ning Qing from working at all, and she was too embarrassed to disturb Ning Qing.
"Hello, Ning Qing..." Xia Xiaofu answered the call.
"Hello, Xiaofu, where are you right now?"
"I am on holiday in Sanya right now."
"Are you together with Chen Jingyu? I heard about what's been going on between you. Xiaofu, the Chen family is really an influential family. Chen Jingyu is famous on his own accord. To a woman, he is a very good choice."
"Yeah." Xia Xiaofu nodded her head.
Ning Qing was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Xiaofu, as a friend, I wish that you would be able to be blissful. To be honest, Chen Jingyu... is so many times better than Luoxi, but there are some things that I think I have to let you know. After all, you have the right to know this."
Xia Xiaofu's expressions changed drastically and she said, "Ning Qing, what do you want to say?"
"Xiaofu, two months ago, Luoxi was involved in a car accident."
Xia Xiaofu froze entirely. She wanted to speak, but her throat felt as if a fishbone were stuck inside, and she was unable to speak a word.
"Xiaofu, Luoxi was hurt quite badly. He was in a coma for two whole months, and they kept him inside the high dependency ward for observation the whole time. It was only yesterday that he woke up. Last night, we went over to the doctor's office, and when we returned, Luoxi was missing. Xiaofu, we are unable to find him."
Xia Xiaofu used one small hand to cover her mouth, and her eyes became wet instantly. Some hot teardrops flowed down her face as she said, "What do you mean by... being unable to find him?"
"Xiaofu, in that car accident, Luoxi's right leg.... might... be a little... disabled..."
Xia Xiaofu's irises contracted drastically, and she took a few steps back. She almost lost her footing.
At this moment, a muscular arm came onto her waist. Chen Jingyu hugged her as he brought her into his arms. His gaze was warm and comforting as he looked at her, and he gave her support and strength.
Ning Qing's voice seemed to choke up as she said, "Xiaofu, a relationship goes both ways. Any third party does not have the right to comment. At this point, I obviously do not have any right to give you this call. Chen Jingyu is a very good man. You will be blissful if you stay together with him, but if you get together with Luoxi..."
"Xiaofu, just treat me as selfish for once. Could you help me look for Luoxi? Luoxi woke up yesterday, his body is extremely weak, and he needs someone to take care of him..."
Xia Xiaofu sobbed out loud in Chen Jingyu's embrace. She shook her head and said, "I am unable to find him... I also do not know where he went..."
"Xiaofu, you are able to find him. You would definitely be able to find him. Did you know that Luoxi was involved in a car accident at the main entrance of Zhongshan Park?"
What?
Xia Xiaofu froze — Zhongshan Park.
Two months ago...
He went.
It turned out that he went.
"Xiaofu, there are some things that you have to go and consider on your own. Whether Luoxi likes you or not, or how much he likes you... Actually, Luoxi's heart is very sensitive, and it is also very weak. When we want to love a person, we can love that person with all of our heart, no matter what happens in the end, but Luo Xi is different. We may never know what he is dealing with when he likes you.
"Xiaofu, maybe you can scold him for being a coward and a weakling, but this world is not kind enough towards Luoxi. He is still very unfamiliar with this world, and similarly, he likes you. He is also not understood or well-accepted by this world..."
Xia Xiaofu hung up, and she used both of her small hands to cup her face before she choked up and cried out painfully.
Chen Jingyu stretched his hand out to pat her shoulders before he touched her small head as he pressed her into his embrace, and he said, "Cry if you want to cry. It will be fine. I will always be by your side."
Xia Xiaofu took a large breath of air, before she raised her head up. Her tears were blurring her vision as she looked at Chen Jingyu and said three words."I am sorry..."
Chen Jingyu froze.
Xia Xiaofu took her bag before turning around and leaving the room. As she walked out, she made a call."Hello, Xiao Li, help me book a ticket back. The faster the better."
...
Xia Xiaofu went back to T City overnight. She drove over to Ou Luoxi's villa. There was nobody inside. After that, she went over to the small wooden house in Qitai Mountain, and there was nobody there either.
Xia Xiaofu found Ah Ganli. Ah Ganli said that since the last bonfire and dinner banquet, she has also not seen Ou Luoxi. Xia Xiaofu looked at the blue skies and white clouds in the distance. Where did he go off to exactly?
There were so few places that he could go to, but he did not know many people. The world was such a big place, but the places that he could go to were so limited.
He must have hidden on purpose and didn't want others to find him.
What did he want to do?
He was injured and still ran around anyhow. Did he not want to live anymore?
Xia Xiaofu searched for him for three days and three nights. She went over to all of the places that he could go to, but there was no sign of him anywhere. Xia Xiaofu was disappointed one time after another, and she was about to break down.
Xia Xiaofu was sitting on the steps of the small wooden house in the mountains as she looked downwards, and she suddenly remembered that there was one place that she hadn't checked.
Xia Xiaofu stood up suddenly, and she ran towards the depths of the mountain.
But there was a problem; she did not know the directions. She'd gone to the depths of the mountain twice, and she got lost both times.
She thought of a solution very quickly. Little Fourth was also missing. Little Fourth was definitely together with Ou Luoxi, so she brought an entire sack of canned meat. It was Little Fourth's favourite treat.
Little Fourth was a foodie and a lazy dog. On a normal basis, no matter how far it was, as long as he had a whiff of the smell of canned meat, he would come looking for it. Xia Xiaofu opened all of the canned meat while she was underneath a large tree, and she bent down and waited for Little Fourth to come.
She waited from the afternoon to nighttime, and her legs were all numb, but Little Fourth did not come. She felt that the place was not right, and she was planning to move when she saw a figure leap over from the forest.
"Little Fourth!" Xia Xiaofu said in surprise.
Little Fourth really came.
Little Fourth was in a hurry as it pounced over, wanting to eat the canned meat, but when he saw Xia Xiaofu, he barked and pounced on Xia Xiaofu immediately. Xia Xiaofu held on to him before caressing his body emotionally as she said, "Little Fourth, you have lost weight."
Upon hearing that, Little Fourth immediately felt wronged. He glanced over before barking as he nudged the side of Xia Xiaofu's thigh. He was trying hard to act cute.
Xia Xiaofu gurgled in laughter."Haha." She took a can and placed it over by the side of Little Fourth's mouth as she said, "I got it. I will fatten you back up as soon as possible."
Little Fourth wagged his tail while he ate, meaning — That's great, that's great.
Xia Xiaofu touched Little Fourth's head as she asked, "Little Fourth, where is your Daddy?"
Little Fourth swallowed the contents of the entire can entirely before using his mouth to chew on the plastic packaging. He bit all of the cans away with him, and he wagged his tail as he walked forward.
"Little Fourth, wait for me." Xia Xiaofu quickly chased after it.
....
Xia Xiaofu followed Little Fourth over to the cave. The previous time she was here, the cave had already collapsed, but now, it was obvious that the cave had been repaired, and there was a narrow entrance in front.
Little Fourth was nimble as he went inside. Xia Xiaofu pulled the vines on the entrance of the cave away and climbed inside.
After climbing into the cave, everything was pitch black. There was a little light from the moon in the cracks between the rocks, and it lit up the cave minimally.
There was a layer of grass on the ground, and someone was laying down on the grass. Little Fourth had one can in his mouth and placed it by the side of the person's mouth."Woof woof!".
Little Fourth had only eaten one can, and he left the remaining canned food for his Daddy. He noticed that Daddy closed his eyes and did not have any reaction. He was anxious as he spun around, and at last, Little Fourth saw Xia Xiaofu, who was by his side. Little Fourth ran over to bite Xia Xiaofu's pants and drag her inside.
Meaning — You come and do it.
Xia Xiaofu was a little stiff, she was in a blur as she lowered her gaze towards Ou Luoxi, who was lying on a bed of grass. He was still wearing the hospital gown, and the hospital gown was very loose on him. He'd lost so much weight.
Xia Xiaofu stooped down slowly, and she was shaking as she stretched her small hand out to touch his face. No matter how slim he got, his features were still so exquisite that he was perfect.
Her vision became blurry immediately with her tears. She took a breath through her reddened nostrils, and she stretched her hand out to touch his forehead. He was running a low fever now.
Xia Xiaofu turned her head to look at Little Fourth as she said, "Little Fourth, we are going to go. We are going back to the small wooden house in the mountains. Can you bring us over there?"
"Woof woof!" Little Fourth was telling her that that he could.
Xia Xiaofu helped Ou Luoxi, who was in a coma, and both of them went out of the depths of the mountain together with the Tibetian Mastiff.
...
She helped Ou Luoxi to the small wooden house in the mountains before placing him in the large bed. Xia Xiaofu was already so exhausted that she had to catch her breath. Little Fourth was stooping by the side of the door, and he was very nervous as he stared at her.
Xia Xiaofu let out a smile as she said, "You don't have to worry. I will take good care of him, and those cans are all yours."
"Woof."
Really?
Little Fourth gave Xia Xiaofu a very embarrassed smile before lowering his head to focus and eat the canned food.
Xia Xiaofu stood up and took a pail of clean water over. She stood by the side of the bed and bent down before she moved her hands to undo the hospital gown that Ou Luoxi was wearing. She was afraid that he was still injured.
Thankfully, the few injuries on his body were all recovered already. He spent two months in the hospital, and these minor injuries had all recovered.
Xia Xiaofu moved her hands and curled up the hem of his trousers. She wanted to have a look at his right leg.
There was a small bone popping on his right shin, and it was deformed.
Xia Xiaofu stretched her fingers out to caress it, and she knew that he must be in so much pain.
The tears in her eyes flowed out once again. Wooden stick, fool, dumb. He had the means to dump her, and he should be leading a better life, but now, he was leading such a pitiful life. Who was he showing it off to?
At this moment, Ou Luoxi, who was on the bed, moved, "Water.. Water..."
He was thirsty, and he wanted to drink water.
Xia Xiaofu turned around quickly and went to get a glass of water. He was sleeping now, and it was not convenient for him to drink water. Xia Xiaofu also did not try to be coy, and she drank a mouthful of water first before she lowered her body down to feed him with her mouth.
His lips were so dry, and there was a layer of skin on his lips. Xia Xiaofu placed her lips onto his and felt some pain immediately as she fed some water to him.
She thought about the time when she had drowned. There was someone who'd administered CPR for her, and that person was just like this.
