Chapter 423: He Felt So Sorry
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
To Mu Xiaoxiao, her home was in the States, perhaps it was because she had stayed there for four years, or perhaps it was because her father was in the States. Wherever her family was, that was where her home was.
That was the reason why she returned to the States when she got hurt.
In fact, people were all like this.
Whenever they were down and hurt, the first thought was to return home.
Returning to the place where they could feel the most secure.
Yin Shaojie was feeling guilty that he did not make her feel secure, not to mention making her feel that the Yin residence was not her real home.
The Yin residence was her second home, and she could come and go at her own pleasure. When she was at Yin residence, she was also relaxed and comfortable just like in her own home.
But it turned out that it was not the same.
Her home in the States, where her father was, and it was the place that she held most dear. It was also the place that made her feel most secure.
Yin Shaojie swore that he must ease her slowly into using the Yin residence as her home so that whenever she encountered any troubles, the first thought would be to go back to the Yin residence instead of running back to the States thousands of miles away.
Yin Shaojie felt sorry for her as he ran his fingers through her messy hair at her temples.
Has this girl gotten a lot thinner?
It seemed like she had eaten quite a bit just a few days ago.
But in just a few days, she seems to have lost a lot of weight.
In the end, it’s all my fault!
Yin Shaojie cursed himself inside, and the eyes that stared at her were full of regret.
The plane was already at a high altitude, but Mu Xiaoxiao was still looking out of the window, not even turning away as if she was daydreaming.
Yin Shaojie didn’t realize that her expression had changed. She was no longer smiling, looking melancholic and lost in her thoughts.
“Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao?”
When she heard him calling, Mu Xiaoxiao snapped out of it, but before she could cover up the expression of hers, Yin Shaojie caught sight of it.
“What’s wrong?” Yin Shaojie was shocked, holding her little face, feeling sorry for her, studying carefully the melancholy in her eyes.
Why is it that all of a sudden, her mood has become…
“If you really can’t bear to leave your Papa, we can stay for a few more days.”
Looking at her like this, he felt extremely sorry for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shook her head as she said, “It’s not because I can’t bear to leave Papa… but I am…”
Her black and bright eyes seemed to have gone dull all of a sudden, and she became shrouded in a fog of melancholy.
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows, feeling worried for her yet still confounded. “Then, what’s the matter? Can you tell me?”
Just what do I have to do to remove the dullness in her eyes and let her smile again?
Mu Xiaoxiao’s nose was tingling, and her eyes quickly became watery.
She leaned over and hugged Yin Shaojie.
Her voice was choking as she said, “I, I just… I thought about the day I went back to the States. I was alone on the plane… I kept crying and crying… I felt so sad as if I was going to die…”
That was probably the darkest and saddest day of her life.
It was as if her world had been destroyed.
It was as if she had been abandoned, and the only thing that was left was herself and her loneliness.
The heart had been empty, and she had been at a loss.
The most terrible thing was that her tears just wouldn’t stop. She wanted to sleep for a while, then perhaps she would feel better after her sleep.
But she just couldn’t sleep, and her mind couldn’t be controlled as it kept picturing the image of him and An Zhixin…
In the end, in order to be able to fall asleep and no longer think about the matter regarding him and An Zhixin, to no longer feel sad and cry, she had no other choice but to take sleeping pills.
