Chapter 1148 - 1145: Passionate Embrace 5

Liu Daqing’s voice grew harsher: "Continuously entangled in past mistakes is not only futile but incredibly foolish! Donglin, if you continue to refuse to understand, you’re just a fool!"

"..."

"Instead of paying for the past, you should seize the future tightly and prevent tragedy from happening again."

He remained silent for a long time, "Mom, don’t worry, I’m about to set off. From now on, I will never come to Boston again."

For three consecutive days, the snow was fine and steady, and the dry, cold air kept piercing into the neck. After driving a short distance, the windshield became misty with snowflakes, maybe the wipers were tired from work, and the road signs ahead were no longer clear.

Yan Xixi was afraid of driving in the dark, but in this kind of ghostly weather, accelerating wasn’t possible. She had to concentrate, fully focused on driving ahead.

A few kilometers away from that small house, a car approached.

The headlights were very bright, and Yan Xixi avoided it early on, passing by without paying any attention.

Finally, she reached the small house engulfed in night.

She parked the car on the grass, took a few steps, and the cold wind nearly froze her, so she quickly ran inside.

Turning on the light, she was slightly surprised.

She found that everything around her was unexpectedly tidy.

She reached out to touch, the table was spotless.

Feeling a sudden urge, she ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, finding quite a bit of food inside.

Her heart began to beat wildly.

Who was it?

Who actually came here?

She left months ago, who cleaned it up? Could it be Huang Xiaojue came back?

In great delight, she ran outside: "Xiaojue, Xiaojue..."

Yet, there wasn’t a trace of anyone inside the house.

She opened the door and went outside, the grass was empty.

"Xiaojue... Xiaojue, are you here? Did you come back?"

The grass was overgrown with weeds, the bushes withered, a desolate winter scene of decline, very chaotic... Just from this alone, it clearly appeared as if no one had been here in ages.

She stood still, lost in thought.

Could it be that Huang Xiaojue returned and then left again?

Why would it be like this? Today was clearly New Year’s Eve, even if he did come back, couldn’t he just say hello before leaving? Or perhaps, he had no idea she returned?

She called him, but despairingly his phone was always off.

Sending texts yielded no replies either.

Deep down, she actually understood long ago, since they parted at South Country University, Huang Xiaojue intended it to be forever. Even if he barely escaped death, he wouldn’t be involved with Yan Xixi again.

He had completely abandoned her.

Every time, she was the one to leave him first.

But this time, he was the one to say goodbye first.

Their world, she truly couldn’t be a part of.

Just like today, even if she was driven mad missing him, he wouldn’t abandon his goals and rush back.

She stood there for a moment, disappointed, and went back to the living room.

The fireplace was on, warmth slowly spreading, but her hands and feet remained cold. She grabbed a can of beer from the refrigerator. Usually, she never drank alcohol, but today she suddenly wanted to drink a large glass, and get completely drunk.

As the beer entered her sorrowful intestines, her brows furrowed even more.

Confused and dazed, how many times has she been alone for New Year’s now?

Ever since her mother died, has she always been spending New Year’s alone? No, it didn’t seem like that. Once, there was someone accompanying her... On a certain New Year’s Eve, around two or three in the morning, someone rushed back through the dust and witnessed her sitting in a corner of the terrace crying.
