Chapter 716: Chapter 715 Brother Xuan’s Confession (11)
Before Chuxia’s birthday, he had already picked out her gift, a necklace with a small sun pendant, a very ordinary necklace.
But it was the day he and Chuxia had passed by a jewelry store unintentionally, when her gaze lingered on this necklace. Although she had looked at it for only a few seconds, he captured that moment.
He saw a flash in her eyes clearly.
So, after dropping Chuxia off at home, he immediately returned to the jewelry store and bought the necklace.
Small sun.
This phrase instantly reminded Bai Yixuan of Chuxia from when they were children, always so bright, so sunny, truly like a little sun.
No matter what had happened to Chuxia in the past, he hoped the Chuxia of the future could continue to be like that happy little sun from their childhood. And he, wanted to always be by her side.
Bai Yixuan was lost in thought when his phone on the right-hand side vibrated. He snapped out of his reverie and hurriedly picked up the phone.
It was a WeChat message from Chuxia.
Chuxia: "Brother Xuan, I’m sorry, but I can’t go to dinner with you tonight. That important thing you wanted to say, can we talk about it next time?"
The words of the message imprinted in his eyes, letter by letter, and Bai Yixuan’s hand holding the phone trembled involuntarily.
She can’t make it?
Last time, it was he who missed the chance because of a sudden business trip. This time, it was Chuxia who couldn’t come?
A sense of unease surged within his heart, some thoughts becoming ever more real in his mind. He had a feeling that if he could not express his feelings to Chuxia tonight, he might never get the chance to reveal his emotions to Chuxia ever again.
Bai Yixuan’s dark pupils held a moment of concentration before he immediately grabbed the phone and dialed a number to call back.
-
Chuxia had been held tightly in Shi Che’s embrace, the hospital room quiet, Shi Che’s arms warm. Gradually, sleepiness overcame her, and she leaned her head against Shi Che’s chest and slowly closed her eyes.
When Bai Yixuan’s call came, she was in a state between sleep and wakefulness, and Shi Che, with swift actions, swiped the screen after only one ring, so Chuxia wasn’t awakened.
Originally, Shi Che had intended to hang up, but to his surprise, the call connected. He frowned slightly, about to hang up, but Bai Yixuan’s voice came through the other end.
Shi Che’s hand paused subtly, the light in his eyes solidifying, and for some reason, he changed his mind. Instead of hanging up, he put the phone to his ear.
"Xiaxia, even though you didn’t come, today, I still want to tell you what I’ve been wanting to say."
Bai Yixuan’s voice was low and mellow, like a gentle flowing stream, extremely pleasant to the ear, but at this moment, it was mixed with a bit of nervousness. He paused, clearing his throat softly before continuing, "Xiaxia, I love you."
As expected...
Shi Che’s lips curled slightly, but his dark eyes held no trace of a smile.
"Perhaps you’ll find this sudden, perhaps you’ll be surprised, but Xiaxia, I have loved you for many years, always, without change. I know you’ve been through a lot in the past, and you may not be able to let it go completely now, but I am willing to be with you, to forget the past together. I only hope that you can give me a chance to face the future with you."
Forget the past together? Shi Che couldn’t help but let out a scornful laugh.
