Chapter 1668. It seems that my actions were still too lenient
On the way back, she was thinking about this matter, and the faint pain in her heart had not dissipated.
Her hand unconsciously rested on her incapacitated legs, and only when she heard Gu Junhang’s voice did she speak up:
"No, if my legs were fine, I would have hated not being able to go up and chop off that mixed breed dog’s legs too."
She hid her thoughts without changing her expression and spoke as if she didn’t care.
Upon hearing this, Gu Junhang smiled and said:
"It seems I didn’t go hard enough."
Xia Yumo looked at Qiaoxu, who had fallen silent for some reason, then looked at Gu Junhang and said:
"With everyone outside being worried recently, why did you both come here instead of staying at home?"
Qiaoxu regained his senses, and replied with a hint of concern in his eyes:
"I was a bit worried about you, so I came over to check."
"Me too."
Xia Yumo felt a little helpless, "You two... I’m not a child."
"Even if you’re strong and healthy, can’t I care about you?"
Gu Junhang smiled and rubbed her head, then worried that she might feel pressured, he added, "Aren’t we friends? Isn’t it normal for friends to care for each other?"
Xia Yumo knew that Gu Junhang was considering her feelings and afraid that she might feel pressured.
If it had been earlier, she might have sighed with relief, but now seeing him worrying about her, her heart felt even heavier.
She gave Gu Junhang a smile and said:
"You’re right."
Gu Junhang recalled the video from the police officer, where Xia Yumo was holding a supermarket bag and there were vegetables scattered all over the ground.
His heart ached, and he said:
"Next time you need to buy something, tell me, and I’ll help you buy it. I don’t feel at ease when you go out alone."
Xia Yumo knew that Gu Junhang was worried about her, but people’s different thoughts can lead to different interpretations.
She was a strong-willed person by nature, even though her legs were inconvenient, she didn’t want to be treated specially by others. So, she wanted to do everything personally, to prove to herself and others that even if Xia Yumo couldn’t walk, it wouldn’t affect her life.
But is that really the case?
No!
Sitting in her wheelchair, people can push her down, humiliate her as they please, and she doesn’t have the ability to teach them a lesson. What kind of strength is that?
Her stubbornness resulted in Xuxu almost killing that mixed breed dog.
It also brought unnecessary trouble for Gu Junhang.
So, even if she didn’t want to accept the fact that she was a burden, the reality was right in front of her eyes.
This made her think of the young man she met in the company elevator that day who had helped her out.
He didn’t see her as someone with special needs, and maybe in some people’s eyes, he was unreasonable and cold-blooded. But at that moment, she was grateful for his equal treatment of her.
People, when they view problems from different angles, always have different results.
After some pondering, she didn’t argue and simply smiled helplessly and said:
"I thought it would be fine since the supermarket is right next to the residential community, and there was an accessible passage for my wheelchair. I never thought I’d run into such a mad dog."
She noticed that Gu Junhang’s face had softened a bit, probably recalling what had just happened.
