Chapter 1503

Yes, he himself has been by Lu Xuening’s side for so long; what kind of person she is, shouldn’t he know better than anyone?

Thinking back to when he first went to find her, at first she saw him dressed ordinarily and didn’t even want to give him a second look.

Later, she was willing to use him only because none of her people could beat him.

Guisu leaned against the bedside, his eyes reflecting the slender figure of Baili Xia.

She stood by that small window, closely watching the happenings outside.

That small figure, so thin and fragile, but he knows she has a strong and resilient heart.

Otherwise, over all these years, she would have long been crushed by life, beaten until she couldn’t take it anymore.

That little girl…

His eyes were slightly moist.

How foolish he was to always think there was only one Miss Lu?

And how naïve to believe that the one who showed him kindness back then was Lu Xuening?

He even almost killed her for Lu Xuening.

If it weren’t for her strong fate, by now she would have long been gone from this world.

He harmed her, helped Lu Xuening bully her, yet when he was ruined by Lu Xuening and lost everything, the only one willing to help him was her.

Showing kindness without expecting anything in return, so kind, so optimistic, so touching.

Besides her, who else had such vibrant eyes, such pure and clear gaze?

A big hand landed where the heart is, waves of pain surged up; he regretted it, hated himself!

He wished he could tear himself to pieces!

But the harm he caused is already there.

No matter how much he hates it, he can’t make up for anything.

His chest really hurts, more than a knife cutting into flesh or a bullet hitting the body!

Baili Xia is not oblivious; she knows he has been watching her.

Yet she really doesn’t know what he is thinking.

Such regretful eyes, such self-reproaching expression…

She sighed softly, turned her head, and looked at him.

“I beg you, please don’t think about anything, don’t be so hard on yourself, lie down and rest a bit, okay?”

Mrs.

Chen has gotten in touch with Bei Tianyou, and by now, Bei Tianyou’s people should be on their way.

They can’t do anything; they can only wait here.

But him enduring like this will be very harmful to his body.

Baili Xia doesn’t know why she used the word endure.

But seeing Guisu now, he indeed seems to be enduring.

As for what exactly he’s enduring, she couldn’t understand.

“Are you still feeling guilty, thinking you’ve implicated me?” She is a bit helpless.

How many times has this question been explained?

“I said it before, even without today’s events, they would find ways to deal with me, they definitely would.”

So, this matter has nothing to do with him; can he stop feeling guilty?

“Guisu…”

“I want… to ask you one last question.” Guisu held the wooden frame of the bed.

Looking at her with incredibly serious eyes.

“Twelve years ago, in winter, did you come here and give a boy a coat?”

Baili Xia didn’t dare to answer rashly because his expression was too serious.

This question, if she doesn’t answer well, seems like it could ruin his entire life.

But…

twelve years ago in winter…

“Twelve years ago…” She counted on her fingers.

That year, she was only six years old…

a coat…

Suddenly, she furrowed her brows, her little mouth poutily mumbled.

“That coat got me beaten by Lu An. If it weren’t for the fact that I still had to serve Lu Xuening, I think he would have beaten me to a pulp.”
