Chapter 201 - 203 Can You Come Home with Me?_1
In that instant, as Gu Shaocheng watched her throw the gun away, something wild seemed to surge within him, coursing through his veins.
Without thinking, he wondered:
Had she forgiven him? Or was it that she subconsciously couldn’t bear to harm him?
He couldn’t take his eyes off her, the slight shudder in her back. A part of him instinctively wanted to draw her into his arms.
But as his hand extended halfway, he retracted it automatically.
As a decisive man, his lips tightened, wanting to hold her to fend off her frailty and helplessness. Yet, he knew all too well, she was not seeking solace in his embrace - she probably even abhorred it.
The entire journey was filled with silence. Inside the car, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The atmosphere was suffocating.
The driver wanted to play some music to lighten the mood, but he dared not make the decision, caught in the dilemma of "to play music or not to play music" until they reached the airport.
The flight from City T to City E only lasted around ten minutes.
By the time the plane landed, the two of them had already set foot on the soil of City E.
"Would you come home with me?"
Chenxing remained silent, barricading herself. Seeing her in such a state pained him greatly. Feeling unsure about what to do, he did not force her and instead dropped her off at her school to give her some space to vent her emotions.
Luo Xi came. Only her cousin could provide her with the comfort she sought at that moment.
Chenxing buried herself in Luo Xi’s arms, peacefully leaning on her, she struggled to utter, "Cousin, can you take me away? I want to leave here, forever."
"Chenxing, what happened? What’s wrong?" Luo Xi was at a loss as she looked at the downtrodden Chenxing, gently rubbing her back, her heart sinking.
She thought, could Chenxing have had a fight with Young Master Gu?
Chenxing didn’t know where to begin. She yearned to escape from this land of conflict, to avoid the things she couldn’t accept. "Cousin, don’t ask, okay? I really want to leave this place, as far away as possible."
Her voice was so sorrowful that Luo Xi could not bear to refuse. Regardless of what had happened, she couldn’t just stand by and watch her cousin suffer.
She didn’t have many relatives to begin with, other than her grandpa and grandmother, Chenxing was her only cousin. Without hesitation, Luo Xi nodded, "Okay. I was planning to go back to America anyway. If you are unhappy here, come with me. However, Chenxing, I am a mercenary and I practically live on the base, making a living from various jobs. In America, you can only live with my grandpa, leaving your home and country, are you willing?"
"I can support myself," Chenxing lifted her head, wiping away her tears, "As long as I can leave this place, I don’t care where I live, as long as I leave here."
She could not accept it. Couldn’t she choose to run away?
Maybe in a new place, she could forget everything and start a new life, keeping love in her heart, cherishing the goodness in life and preserving the true virtues of humanity.
