Chapter 595 He is the one who had the perfect childhood
"How could Brother Xiaohua lie?" Ling Xiao lay on Xie Yuhua's lap as she combed his hair.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuhua paused for a moment. However, after only a short while, his long, slender, and fair fingers slowly rose again, repeating the previous movements unhurriedly, each subtle movement carrying an indescribable elegance and composure.
“I’m not lying.” Jieyuhua parted her lips slightly, her voice as melodious as a clear spring, yet it carried a hint of something unfathomable. “I just didn’t listen to what the other person had to say.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He then slowly stood up, gently raised his hands, and placed his arms on Xie Yuhua's shoulders, leaning against her in a boneless and vulnerable posture.
She couldn't help but tease him, "I never thought our little flower brother would turn bad. How come he can even ignore Wu Xie's pleas for help now?"
Xie Yuhua smiled, put down the comb, and explained to him, "Wu Xie is a confidante to me."
I only met him a few times when we were kids, the same few times you met. To say we were childhood friends wouldn't really be accurate.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have even mistaken my gender when we met again.
"Then why are you still so good to him?"
Jieyuhua shook her head and said, "When I saw him again, I thought he was pretending that he didn't recognize me as a boy when we were children. How could someone from the Nine Gates be so naive? So I was also malicious and deliberately told him that I was going to cut his veins. As a result, he was startled and then thought I was being darkly humorous, so he let me do it."
He actually understood my joys, and gradually I discovered that we had many things in common. True friends are hard to find. He was another version of me who had a perfect childhood, so I protected his innocence.
Until I met you.
Jieyu looked into Ling Xiao's eyes, and the usually thick-skinned Ling Xiao suddenly looked away in a fluster. Then he heard the person beside him say, "He is me with a perfect childhood, while you are the more wicked but unyielding me."
I have to thank Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan. If they hadn't set up this scheme, you wouldn't have been there for me during my childhood. A large part of my growth was influenced by you. It was your reappearance that taught me, Wuxie, to face my own life and that I couldn't stand in my way.
Being born in the Nine Gates was my fate, and it was also his fate.
What Wu Sansheng wants to do is something he has to figure out himself. Growth is painful, but we can't stop growing just because of the pain. You're right, I can protect him for a while, but he has to face his own life.
My protection might make it even more painful for him when he faces the truth in the future.
"Let's not talk about that. The surgery is next week. Are there any precautions I should take?" Xie Yuhua pinched his cheek. This kid is good in every way, except he doesn't care about her.
Ling Xiao naturally knew what surgery Jie Yuhua was referring to, and laughed, "In my current state, what precautions could I possibly take? However, this trip might take a month, and during that month... what if someone takes advantage of my vulnerability?"
Ling Xiao lifted his chin, and Xie Yuhua pressed him down, whispering in Ling Xiao's ear, "Since it's been so long, I can't forget your taste."
——One month later
Snow fell in the capital. This was the day Ling Xiao was reborn. Xie Yuhua waited for him early in the forbidden area in the suburbs.
When Ling Xiao first came out, he was in a daze. Suffering from hyperthymesia, he could not remember what had happened this month. Whenever he recalled this, he could only vaguely smell a faint smell of blood, and nothing else.
The moment Jieyuhua saw the child, she draped the thick overcoat and scarf she had prepared beforehand over him, then gave him a big hug, kissing his face repeatedly as if that wasn't enough. With tears in her eyes, she looked at the stunned Lingxiao and said, "You've worked so hard, my child."
