Chapter 184
Several news headlines about women being abducted by cab drivers at night came to mind again.
What if she encountered a bad person and couldn’t run away.
After thinking about it, she was ready to endure the pain and head to the subway station.
The neighborhood was very lively. While she was walking on the side of the road, traffic was passing by. She walked very slowly, and there was some thin sweat on her forehead.
She was in a particularly bad mood at this time.
Today, she was wearing a sweater on top and a short skirt on the bottom. When the wind blew like this again, her calves trembled, and her lower abdomen pain became more serious.
She walked aimlessly on the street, and a feeling of loneliness came to her mind.
She shook her head, scolding herself for being hypocritical.
After all, she had been alone for so many years, and no one had accompanied her. Why was it just uncomfortable now? Why was she sad all of a sudden?
But the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt in her heart. There was a pain in her lower abdomen, which made her sober yet drowsy for a while. She was almost brought to tears by the pain and the loneliness, so she stopped by a bridge near the bay.
On the other side of the bay, someone was setting off fireworks. The long, colorful tails of light burst in the night sky, trying to fly towards the moon, but they turned into broken dim stars in midair.
She frowned, suddenly feeling a chill on her face.
She touched it, only to realize that she was actually crying.
This realization made her want to laugh.
Although they were physical tears, they still flowed uncontrollably and would not stop.
She had to admit, although she was accustomed to being by herself if it were possible…
She also wanted someone to accompany her.
It would be preferable to going back home to stare blankly at dark halls and empty rooms.
But she was more afraid of losing something than having it briefly.
Because she had never experienced the feeling of being favored. Although she was friendly to everyone on the surface and could chat with everyone, she was not the kind of character who dares to love and hate. On the contrary, she was a coward, especially when it came to being hurt.
Su Qiuge squatted down slowly, clutching her lower abdomen. Her eyes remained transfixed on the seawater, and her thoughts gradually filtered out from her brain.
The taste in her mouth was a little bitter, and a dense pain was transmitted to the brain, so her eyes gradually lost focus.
She even had the illusion that she had always been just a wandering soul, no matter before or now.
There was no home for her.
The water sparkled, and the dots of light twinkled.
Then, something small crept into her sight.
Light and flying, reflecting the faint light from across the sea, in the long dark night, colorful lights shone in the small world.
Then it burst.
A bubble.
Su Qiuge opened her eyes slightly.
This feeling, as if she was back when she was a child, she hid in the corner and saw the two little girls in the neighborhood, in the bright sunshine, on the green lawn, in their expensive and delicate lace dresses.
Playing with bubbles.
It was something she longed for in her childhood but was afraid to ask for.
She slowly raised her eyes and looked up at another small bubble.
A colorful little dream permeated her thoughts, landing on top of her head as if it were made for her alone.
The boy in the black coat bent slightly, and when she looked up, his slightly relaxed eyebrows showed a bit of tenderness. He was dressed in cold black, but he was holding a pink bubble gun in his hand and pressing the button with his fingers. A trail of bubbles rushed out from the muzzle, kissing the corner of her clothes affectionately.
Su Qiuge looked at him for a while, and after watching the scene, her heart tightened slightly.
She was speechless for a while, and the other party was waiting for her quietly.
After a long time, Su Qiuge smiled and said slowly, “Where did you steal this thing from?”
Xie Xinglin turned the pink bubble gun in his hand and said in a low voice, “I traded with a group of elementary school students from the KTV before.”
Su Qiuge laughed, “Did you threaten them?”
As soon as she asked, Xie Xinglin looked down and put the gun in her hand, appearing casual.
“I told them that there was a childish girl who also likes this kind of thing, but unfortunately she doesn’t have one.”
“It’s quite pitiful.”
Su Qiuge was stunned for a moment. She didn’t laugh or speak. She blinked and stared at the pink bubble-gun.
After a long time, her nose stung and her eyes welled. She carefully took the bubble gun and said with red eyes, “Thank you.”
This was a really, really nice birthday present.
It was the birthday present she had wanted for a long time.
Better than anything else.
Xie Xinglin stared at the expression on her face. It looked like she was on the verge of being moved to tears. He leaned down, wiped away the tears from her eyes with slightly bent knuckles, lowered his eyes, and asked slowly, “How useless? Are you crying?”
His fingertips were warm on her face.
But it could also disturb people’s minds.
Makes their hearts beat faster.
She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a charming shadow, then glanced to the side, looked at the sea, and was silent for a while before changing the subject, “Why did you come out?”
Wasn’t he still in the KTV just now?
Thinking of this, she asked slowly again, “What are you doing here?”
Wasn’t the girl he liked still there?
Why did he come out early?
