Chapter 667: Chapter 666 I Will Prove My Love for You (8)
After work that day, heavy rain began to pour.
Chuxia Ling and Lin Shasha reached the company’s entrance, looking at the torrential rain, Lin Shasha couldn’t help muttering, "Isn’t this just great, it starts pouring the moment we get off work, doesn’t it allow anyone to go home? And today, Ah Cheng isn’t here to pick me up, waiting for the bus in this heavy rain will surely turn me into a drenched chicken!"
Ah Cheng is Lin Shasha’s boyfriend.
After Lin Shasha finished complaining, she couldn’t help asking, "Xiaxia, you didn’t bring an umbrella, how are you going to get back?"
However, after waiting for a while, the nearby Chuxia Ling did not reply, Lin Shasha wrinkled her brows in confusion, turned her head to look at her, and saw that Chuxia Ling’s eyes were blankly staring ahead, lost in thought. Lin Shasha followed her line of vision and saw nothing but a lamppost standing there, nothing unusual, making Lin Shasha even more puzzled, she nudged Chuxia Ling with her elbow, "Xiaxia, what are you looking at?"
Lin Shasha’s voice resonated in her ears, making Chuxia Ling suddenly realize that she had unconsciously been staring at the spot where Shi Che always stood. Chuxia Ling’s heart quivered, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes.
But more so, it was an inexplicable sense of loss because... under that lamppost, Shi Che was nowhere to be seen.
For the past week, every time she finished work, she would always see his waiting figure under that lamppost, but today he was absent...
Where had he gone?
The thought flashed through her mind, and Chuxia Ling’s heart quivered again. Why was she wondering where Shi Che had gone? What did his whereabouts have to do with her? It was better that he didn’t appear, to spare her the heartache!
Chuxia Ling clenched her hands hanging at her sides, took a deep breath, composed herself, and slowly answered Lin Shasha, "Nothing, I wasn’t looking at anything."
"Really?" Lin Shasha muttered doubtfully but said no more, repeating her question, "Then Xiaxia, you didn’t bring an umbrella, how are you going to get back?"
Chuxia Ling looked up at the grim grey sky, fearing the rain would not stop anytime soon. Waiting here didn’t seem wise. She thought for a moment and softly said, "It’s okay, the subway entrance is very close to my home, I’ll just run back."
"I remember, isn’t the subway entrance also about a hundred meters from your house? Running back, you’ll definitely end up drenched as well, Xiaxia. Why not take a taxi instead? Haven’t you been feeling unwell these past few days?"
Chuxia Ling gently shook her head, about to say it was no problem, when suddenly, a black car stopped in front of them, the driver’s door opened, and Shi Che’s figure abruptly appeared before Chuxia Ling.
He strode quickly to her, his dark eyes focusing on her face, his thin lips parted slightly, "Chuxia, let me take you home."
Having not seen him under the lamppost just before, Chuxia Ling had thought he wouldn’t appear today, yet... he still came.
However, Chuxia Ling’s stupefaction was only momentary before she coldly responded, "No need."
Shi Che frowned slightly, his voice low, "Chuxia, it’s raining heavily, and you didn’t bring an umbrella. You want to run back? Your illness hasn’t fully recovered, getting rained on today might cause a relapse. Better just take my car back."
Chuxia Ling, as ever cold and distant, did not answer Shi Che, but instead walked past him, heading towards the subway station across the street.
