When Cheng Yu woke up, the sky outside the window was dark, and the room was dark. Her first feeling was that Xia Huaijin was not in the room. She got up and looked around the bedroom, and sure enough she didn't see Xia Huaijin.
Putting on Xia Huaijin's T-shirt, Cheng Yu came out of the bedroom without turning on the lights outside. The only light in the house came from the cracks in the floor of the study room.
Cheng Yu walked directly towards the study and knocked on the door: "Huaijin, are you in there?"
No one answered inside, and after a while, Xia Huaijin walked out.
Cheng Yu saw his red eyes and the slap marks on his cheeks, and was immediately startled: "Your face..."
Before she finished speaking, she was hugged by Xia Huaijin.
"Wanwan, I'm sorry." His voice trembled: "I'm sorry that I made you suffer so much. I'm sorry that I wasn't by your side when you needed me most. I'm sorry that I didn't find you until now. I'm sorry that I didn't protect you.
.sorry Sorry……"
Xia Huaijin felt extremely distressed. After watching all the surveillance videos of her in prison, his heart was broken.
Five years, she lived like that for five years.
But during those five years, apart from the disappointment of not being able to find her again and again, he had no bad life.
Cheng Yu knew that he knew everything.
She had known for a long time that he would investigate those things. As long as he knew a little bit, he would investigate everything.
God's will was such that she had no intention of hiding it anymore.
Hugging his waist, Cheng Yu softly comforted him: "It's over, Huaijin, I'm happy every day now, and I'm happy just to be with you. Don't blame yourself, that has nothing to do with you.
"
How could it not matter? It was his responsibility. It was his fault that he failed to protect her and made her suffer so much.
He didn't ask her why she was imprisoned or who framed her. He didn't want her to uncover those scars on her own. He would investigate it himself and find it out clearly.
His Wanwan no longer has to face those things. He will stand in front of her, clean up all the stains for her, and help her realize her dream of being a translator.
"Are you hungry?" With a decision made in her heart, Xia Huaijin stopped being emotional and returned to her former calmness.
Cheng Yu didn't want him to dwell on that matter anymore, so she nodded and said, "I'm so hungry. I just woke up from hunger."
"Go change clothes and take you out to eat." Xia Huaijin took her to the room to change clothes.
They both changed clothes, and then Xia Huaijin drove Cheng Yu to have dinner. Xia Huaijin actually had no appetite, but seeing how delicious Cheng Yu was eating, she ate some too.
After dinner, Xia Huaijin asked Cheng Yu whether he would stay with him at night or go back.
Cheng Yu said: "I'm not going back."
She wanted to spend time with Xia Huaijin tonight because she was afraid that he would abuse her again in a place she couldn't see.
Xia Huaijin took her hand, put it to her lips and kissed her: "It's still early, let's go shopping."
"Okay." Cheng Yu nodded and suggested, "There seems to be a bookstore nearby. Let's go to the bookstore."
The two of them used to like to go to bookstores. Cheng Yu liked to go to bookstores. They also visited several online celebrity bookstores to check in.
The bookstore is not far away, just a 10-minute walk away. It is a coffee bookstore, half book collection, half business. The environment is very quiet, which Cheng Yu likes very much.
The two of them each picked a book, ordered their favorite coffee, and spent an hour reading. The time passed unknowingly, and Xia Huaijin's heart became calmer.
