Chapter 2014 - Redemption
Chapter 2014: Redemption
Bo Cixue was wearing a windbreaker when she came over. She had taken off the windbreaker before climbing the tree, revealing the tight black t-shirt inside. She was wearing a pair of pants of the same color, making her look slender and tall, and revealing her appealing curves.
Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail. She had no makeup on her face and had only put some lip gloss on her lips. Her black hair and red lips, and her fair and beautiful skin looked especially attractive when the sun shone on her.
The man standing under the tree had the fitting lines of his shirt pressed against his shoulders, his posture straight and tall.
He looked thinner, his facial features more handsome and cold. His dark eyes were deep and his scarlet lips were slightly pursed, making it difficult to read his emotions.
Their eyes met and they looked at each other quietly. Neither of them broke the silence.
Bo Cixue’s heartbeat sped up.
Before coming, she had already thought of all kinds of possibilities.
But seeing him was a different feeling.
She could not calm down.
After some time, Bo Cixue, who seemed to have been frozen, saw the man striding toward her.
Her hands that hung by her sides clenched into fists unconsciously.
Ye Jie had finally recovered from the shock and disbelief.
He had not brought his phone with him, so he naturally did not see Ah Zuo’s message.
But when he saw Ah Zuo’s motorcycle under the tree, he felt that something was wrong.
After sending the others away, he returned and saw Bo Cixue.
A few days ago, Ah Zuo had mentioned that she had gone to M University for her graduation ceremony.
Who knew that she would suddenly appear in front of him?
It would be a lie to say that he didn’t feel anything.
Ye Jie came up to Bo Cixue and stared at her with his dark eyes. His usually cold voice was slightly hoarse. “Cixue, I can’t believe that you’re standing in front of me.”
The journey from W City was long, and the road conditions and bad weather were unbearable even for ordinary girls…
Bo Cixue smiled. “I happened to have a few days off. I came here to take a look at your working environment.” Her smile deepened, but she did not show any exhaustion on her face. “Besides, if the Crown Prince can come, why can’t I?”
Ye Jie pursed his lips. “You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll take you to eat first.”
She had not taken out her motorcycle keys earlier and he got on the motorcycle.
Bo Cixue did not shy away and sat sideways behind him.
There were no concrete roads in the village and it was harder to ride on the roads after it rained, but he rode steadily. She looked at his shirt that was blown up by the wind and her slender fingers pinched it lightly.
Although the conditions here were tough, he was still as cold and fresh as ever, a smell she had liked since she was young.
She looked at the back of his head. He had cut his hair and his hair was shorter than before, making his neck longer. Although he looked thin, his shoulders were broad.
Bo Cixue secretly sized him up from head to toe.
Her heart was bitter.
But on second thought, the Crown Prince, who was high up in the air, was riding a motorcycle and driving her through the countryside. She could not help but laugh.
She did not control her emotions and he heard laughter.
“What are you laughing at?”
Bo Cixue said, “I used to fetch others around. I never expected to be fetched around one day.”
Ye Jie thought of the time he saw her taking Sikong Ling to Panshan Road and he frowned slightly. “Don’t do anything risky in the future.”
Bo Cixue stuck out her tongue and refused to listen to him.
After riding for a while, they arrived at his temporary house.
When the motorcycle stopped, Bo Cixue was unprepared and the tip of her nose hit his firm back.
She hummed softly.
He looked back at her. “Are you okay?”
Bo Cixue rubbed her nose. “It hurts. Can you blow at it?”
Ye Jie reached out and pinched her nose. “It won’t hurt later.”
Bo Cixue was speechless.
Hearing the sound, Ah You walked out of the house.
“Your Highness, everyone is waiting for you to start the meeting…”
Before he could finish, Ah You was dumbfounded to see Bo Cixue jump down from the motorcycle. “Am I seeing things? Why would Miss Bo appear here?”
“You have the same reaction as Ah Zuo.” Bo Cixue smiled.
Ah You touched the back of his head. “Perfect chemistry.”
Ye Jie said to Ah You, “Ask the auntie to prepare something for Cixue.” Then, he looked at Bo Cixue. “I still have a meeting. Eat and rest for a while before we talk tonight.”
Bo Cixue nodded. “Okay.”
…
The auntie made two dishes for Bo Cixue. After Bo Cixue ate, she was brought to a clean and simple room.
She was indeed tired after a long journey.
She lay on the bed and went to sleep after reporting her safety to her best friends.
She slept until the evening.
Bo Cixue got up from the bed and opened the door.
Ah You came out of the other room and saw Bo Cixue, saying, “His Highness said that he was afraid of disturbing your sleep so he didn’t ask you to have dinner tonight, but he left some aside for you.”
Bo Cixue waved her hand. “I was too full at noon and I’m not hungry yet. Where’s His Highness?”
“His Highness is in the yard.”
Bo Cixue walked toward the yard.
Ye Jie stood under the fruit tree and smoked.
There were several cigarette butts on the floor.
Bo Cixue frowned slightly. She remembered that he did not like to smoke.
Bo Cixue took a deep breath and walked toward him.
Hearing footsteps, he turned around.
His fair and clean fingers extinguished the scarlet cigarette butt.
“Cixue, I’ll get Ah You to send you back tomorrow morning.”
Hearing his words, Bo Cixue’s heart started to sink.
He was so smart and did not need her to say it too directly. He should know why she came.
But he said that she should go back tomorrow.
Before Bo Cixue came, she had thought of many things to say to him, but at this moment, she could not say anything.
No words could compare to actual actions.
But her actions could not move him.
Bo Cixue was already mentally prepared. No matter what answer he gave, she would accept it.
However, since she had come all the way here, she should get to clear the air at the very least.
“Is it because of that kiss?”
Ye Jie’s eyes on Bo Cixue darkened and his handsome face tensed. “I can’t give you a future because of my condition. Cixue, you can find someone better than me.”
Bo Cixue lowered her thick and long eyelashes, her fingertips clasping her palm. “Do you think I have to kiss and hug you when I’m with you? If you’re not used to it, we can not kiss.”
“I know that you’re afraid that I’ll sink deeper and deeper. If you still can’t give me what I want in the end, you’ll feel that you’ve hurt me. But I’m not afraid. If you’re willing to open your heart and let me heal you, won’t there be a chance for you to be cured?”
“I won’t ask you what happened in the past. But I’m willing to be your savior. Are you willing to be saved?”
