Chapter 1871: You Are As Important As Her
Only then did Pei Ge realize that there was no possibility of hiding from Ji Ziming.
Ji Ziming already knew everything that she had just found out.
“Ge Ge, are you blaming me?”
Ji Ziming looked into Pei Ge’s eyes. He did know a lot of things that Pei Ge did not know yet, but because he believed her and did not want her to know all these, he was even more worried about whether what she cared about would hurt her more.
“Ziming, you know that I’m looking for Xiaoyu, so you should know how important she is to me. We’re best friends. In this world, other than my mom and you, she’s the best person to me, but when she’s in pain, I’m not by her side. Do you know how I feel?”
She leaned against his chest and heard his strong heartbeat. She wished she could run to Tang Xiaoyu and tell her that she really cared about her and that she was her family.
But she did not do anything.
“Ge Ge, it’s not your fault. I know that you care about Tang Xiaoyu, and I’ve tried asking her before, but she gave me an answer that she doesn’t want to see you. It’s precisely because I know that, I don’t want you to be hurt in any way, even if it’s the smallest kind.”
Ji Ziming’s words came from his heart, but Pei Ge did not understand it.
“Ziming, I hope that you won’t hide it from me anymore. Even if Tang Xiaoyu doesn’t want to see me or communicate with me, I can still tolerate it. However, this is different from you not telling me about her safety. I don’t want us to hide anything from each other. Do you know that in my heart, you’re as important as her?”
“Then, if we really have to decide who is more important, would it be me or her?”
Ji Ziming’s voice was cold as he caressed Pei Ge’s hair on his chest. He was thinking of how to interrogate her the next day about what she had said to Zhang Manhua when her father passed away.
Where was the man called Yang Hua now?
“If we’re really talking about who’s more important, it’s Xiaoyu. You have no idea how much she means to me. Our relationship is no longer that of ordinary friends.”
Pei Ge thought about it for a while. If not for Tang Xiaoyu, she would have been separated from Ji Ziming by now.
“So, in your heart, friendship is still more important than love.”
Ji Ziming’s voice was cold and sounded aggrieved.
“Friendship is kinship without blood relations, and all love eventually evolves into kinship. Only friendship is the purest and most permanent kind of relationship.”
Pei Ge hoped that her friendship with Tang Xiaoyu would last until the two women were old enough to sit in the sun and chat.
“You’re right. That’s why I’m the most important person to you now.”
He suddenly laughed and caressed her smooth hair. “Your hair isn’t dry yet. Let me dry it for you.”
“Okay.”
Pei Ge nodded and readily accepted his suggestion. It did not matter whether her hair was dry or not. All she cared about was Tang Xiaoyu, Ji Ziming, and the three children. As long as the people who loved her were by her side, she would always love them like before.
Because only love could make a person live a more lively life. Only love could make a person live.
“Ge Ge, I’m really sorry about your past. You have me by your side now. You have to believe that no matter what, I will protect your safety. My woman will be the happiest woman in the world.”
Ji Ziming sat up and dried Pei Ge’s hair. He held her arm and looked at her with a serious and calm gaze. “Ge Ge, you have to believe me. I’ll give you everything that I can. Even if it’s something that I can’t give you, I’ll still give it to you. You have to believe that I’ve always placed you in my heart. In my heart, there’s no one or thing more important than you.”
“I know. You don’t have to explain it to me like that.”
She squeezed out a smile and looked at him with twinkling eyes. “Ziming, I want to tell you about me and Xiaoyu.”
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming nodded and hugged Pei Ge as they slowly fell down. “Tell me. I’m listening. Before I met you, what kind of life were you living? What kind of life were you living?”
“There was once when I was walking on the road and there was a drunk driver. The car was about to hit me, but Xiaoyu pushed me away and was knocked far away by the car. I saw her blood flowing out of the road bit by bit, and my mind was blank.”
Pei Ge recalled the scene that she would never forget.
“Ziming, one might meet many people and many things in one’s life, but what I’m most concerned about is when I’m in danger. Who would be willing to push me away and help me climb up? You don’t know that that day was the darkest day of my life. If not for Xiaoyu, I probably wouldn’t have seen you.”
“That’s why she’s so important to you. It’s because she saved you before, and you saved me before.”
Ji Ziming’s heart ached when he heard Pei Ge mention how Tang Xiaoyu saved Pei Ge from the drunk driver back then. When he met with an accident back then, Pei Ge was the one who saved him.
The world had always been fair. One wanted to save others, and the other was saved by that person.
There were gains and losses, but it was the best plan.
“Ge Ge, do you believe that there really is a God in this world? He lives in our hearts.”
Ji Ziming felt the same when he heard Pei Ge continue telling stories about her and Tang Xiaoyu.
“Because Xiaoyu saved me, she suffered such a serious injury. If she didn’t save me, I would have never stood up on that road. When I saw similar car accidents later on, I would always feel my whole body tremble. My father left me just like that. At that time, I was extremely afraid. I was afraid that Xiaoyu would also leave me forever because of this reason.”
