Chapter 326 Take you home
But the slight trembling sound revealed her true inner state.
"There are all kinds of people here. What if we get taken away by bad guys?"
Hearing this, she seemed even more flustered and uneasy. She unconsciously moved closer to the other person for support, and tears began to gather in her eyes.
"I've lost my family, could you please take me home, brother?"
I usually have a special car to pick me up when I go in and out, so I'm naturally not familiar with the street layout. In addition, there are so many people tonight that it's easy to get lost.
In addition, she herself is a spoiled person, so she would inevitably feel at a loss and even terrified when faced with sudden difficulties.
What he couldn't bear to see the most was the touching look of the woman in front of him, crying like rain. "Don't be afraid, don't cry. Tell me where your home is. I'll take you to find it right away!"
"West of the city...Chen Mansion."
I believe that every local knows this surname, which symbolizes noble status and a prominent family.
Thinking of this, he bent down again, picked up a branch from the ground and handed it to the little sister beside him, "Hold on to this and follow my steps closely."
The girl took the stick, grasped the front end tightly, and followed him towards Chen's house in West City.
Due to the huge difference in their pace, the latter gradually became exhausted and could not keep up with the former's pace, resulting in the whole journey being quite difficult and stumbling. The little girl was seen holding the wooden stick in one hand and covering her face with the other hand, her cheeks flushed and she was gasping for breath as she ran. She looked like a haggard kitten that had been attacked and ravaged by a storm. It was really pitiful and hard to look at.
"Why are you crying again? Are you feeling unwell?"
She raised her tear-stained eyes and looked at him pitifully: she felt a little scared...
Faced with such a situation, he couldn't help but feel troubled: you know, he has never been exposed to any skills in soothing the opposite sex! Just when he was feeling helpless, he happened to see a vendor selling candied haws on the street corner. Without hesitation, he took out some silver coins to buy a string and handed it to the girl next to him.
She was startled at first and then surprised: "Hey, what are you doing? Is it for me?!"
"Well, eat it and you won't cry anymore~"
Although she was not hungry or a foodie who preferred sweet food, this unexpected gain still made the girl feel warm and touched, and she temporarily forgot the grievance and sorrow she had just suffered, and she stopped sobbing obediently.
Just like that, in the crowded and noisy streets and alleys, two strange souls, one tall and one short, were connected by a thin wooden stick and shuttled among the crowds.
The night is falling, the sky is full of stars, and the lights of the whole city are brilliant and dazzling; however, in the little girl's mind, all eyes are focused on the person who is silently accompanying her and guiding her forward...
Suddenly, an unusual scene appeared in the distance: countless women dressed in festive and gorgeous palace costumes rode in eight-man sedan chairs and slowly passed through the center of Zhuque Street. Spectators along the way scrambled to grab the auspicious items and coins that were flying in the wind as souvenirs.
Suddenly, a young man with a haggard face and tattered clothes squeezed into the crowd.
There was an expression of fatigue and despair that was hard to conceal in his eyes. He stared at the wedding procession in front of him with a pale face. The magnificent procession was gradually moving away from him.
The sunlight shone on his messy hair, highlighting his haggard face and thin figure.
The laughter of the people around him seemed to deliberately contrast with him, making this moment seem even more desolate.
He was once wrongly imprisoned for several years, and every day in prison was a long ordeal for him.
The days of losing all his honor and future tormented him like a nightmare, until recently when he was fortunately vindicated.
The moment he breathed the free air again, he could hardly believe that all this was real.
However, time did not leave him much opportunity to think - he embarked on the unknown journey to Kyoto with only the little money he brought with him.
In fact, even he himself couldn't explain why he chose to do this: was he unwilling to accept the arrangement of fate?
Or was it just out of the impulse of wanting to see her again, to question her why she had allowed things to develop into such an irreversible situation?
As he watched the bridal sedan made of precious materials slowly move away until it finally disappeared completely from his sight, the feeling of helplessness instantly turned into a violent emotional wave that engulfed him.
He was left with only confusion and pain, "Chen Qinghan! You have such a cruel heart!"
The heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the space.
Su Yan suddenly woke up from the dream full of painful memories and found that his body was soaked with sweat as if he had just taken a shower.
"What happened? Did you have another nightmare?"
A gentle voice sounded in his ears, "I couldn't wake you up no matter how hard I tried just now. I was really scared."
Liu Qingru hurriedly got up and took out a handkerchief, gently and carefully helping to wipe the fine beads of sweat on Su Yan's forehead.
Seeing this, Su Yan tried hard to support himself to sit up, but it was obvious that he was exhausted.
He struggled to support his shaky body with his hands, then lowered his head and leaned on his knees to try to calm himself down.
After a long silence, he raised his head and asked, "Why did you suddenly come here?"
Faced with this sudden question, Liu Qingru showed a little embarrassment on her face, "Need I say more? We haven't seen each other for a long time! Since you don't want to take the initiative to find me, then it's okay for me to come to you myself, right? Do you think I have no place in your heart anymore?"
Her tone was gentle but mixed with a hint of resentment.
Su Yan raised his head and stared at the other person's familiar yet distant face, and a complex and indescribable feeling emerged from deep in his heart.
After a moment, he gently opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out several stacks of banknotes that he had prepared and handed them to her. "This is all the savings I can afford now. It should be enough to free you."
After saying this, I felt much better as if the last stone in my heart had been lifted.
Hearing this, Liu Qingru's fingers began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and her eyes instantly filled with tears. "What I've always hoped for is that you can help me out of this predicament and take me home... It doesn't matter if I can't be your wife, even if I can be your concubine I'm willing to accept it... Is this impossible?"
He asked, choking with sobs.
"I've said before that I will neither marry a beautiful woman nor take a concubine in this life. If you really want to have a stable life, then you should find someone who is more suitable for you. In my opinion, not everyone can be blessed with happiness, at least I don't deserve it."
Su Yan's tone was unusually cold and firm, completely devoid of his usual cynical attitude.
"Why have you become so cold and heartless...After following you for such a long time, I always thought there was some kind of special bond between us."
