Xia Tang turned back and met the man’s slightly doting eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered. “Stop laughing.”
“Alright. Tangtang told me not to laugh, so I won’t laugh.”
How despicable he had been in the past!
How pitiful he was now!
Xia Tang thought weakly that she would rather he return to his despicable self!
Seeing the sadness in Xia Tang’s eyes, Huo Ze said to her, “Don’t be sad. Actually, thinking about it, this is God’s punishment for me. In the past, I had nothing to do and spent a lot of time eating and drinking, not caring about my body and…” His gaze on her darkened.” I hurt you. ”
Xia Tang pursed her lips. “Don’t mention the past anymore.”
Huo Ze smirked. “Alright, let’s not talk about it.”
The car drove to the top of the mountain.
Xia Tang and Huo Ze set up the tent together.
Xia Tang took out a box from her bag and walked up to Huo Ze. “I have a gift for you.”
Huo Ze raised his eyebrows. “What? You’re not giving me a ring, are you?”
Xia Tang glared at him. “You wish.”
Huo Ze smiled and opened the box she handed over. There was a white scarf inside.
He narrowed his eyes and a charming smile appeared on his handsome and thin face. “You knitted it yourself?”
Xia Tang nodded. “Yes, after the three of us were chased out of the Xia family when we were young, we were poor for a period of time. At that time, we couldn’t even afford a sweater and there were old sweaters that our classmates didn’t want. I tore the thread and learned to knit for my siblings.”
“I haven’t knitted for many years. Don’t throw it aside just because it isn’t well-made.”
Huo Ze looked at the scarf in his hand and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes. He handed the scarf to Xia Tang. “Help me put it on.”
Xia Tang leaned forward slightly and wrapped the scarf around Huo Ze’s neck.
She had just wrapped it around him when something tightened around her waist.
She was pulled into his arms.
Before Xia Tang could struggle free, she heard his slightly hoarse voice above her head. “Tangtang, let me hug you for a while. There won’t be a chance in the future.”
Xia Tang’s hands that were about to push him away slowly lowered.
As they got closer, she could feel that he had really lost a lot of weight.
She leaned her face against his shoulder and could vaguely feel the bones inside.
“Tangtang, have you ever felt moved because of me?”
After a while, Xia Tang finally said, “After experiencing that pain that was worse than death, I couldn’t like you anymore.” At that time, when she saw him, she would think of that deep pain. She was not a masochist. After experiencing that pain, there was no way she could still like the person who made her feel pain!
But later, he treated her well for a period of time and that pain faded with time.
She did not hate him anymore, but she could not like him either.
“I like you, Tangtang.”
Hearing his words, Xia Tang froze slightly.
In the past, he never said that he liked her in front of her. He only felt comfortable when he bullied her and saw her suffer all kinds of hardships.
When he was good to her, his words were not pleasant either. She could vaguely feel that she was different to him.
But at that time, she thought that he had a Tang Tang in his heart.
“Young Master Huo…”
“Tangtang, can you call me Ah Ze?”
Xia Tang looked up from his shoulders and looked at his thin and haggard face, calling softly, “Ah Ze.”
Huo Ze let go of Xia Tang and walked to a large rock, sweeping away the snow on it and sat down. “It’s good to be sick. Tangtang will do whatever I want her to do.”
Xia Tang walked behind Huo Ze and sat down, their backs against each other. “The snow here is really beautiful.”
Huo Ze looked back at Xia Tang’s smiling side profile. No matter how beautiful the snow was, it could not compare to her smile in his eyes.
“Tangtang, you’re beautiful too.”
Xia Tang said nothing.
“I actually went to your concert that day.” Huo Ze looked down at the scarf she had given him and his slender hand caressed it. He did not lack a scarf, but this scarf was extremely precious to him because she had knitted it herself. “I saw Third Uncle standing on stage, singing with you, and confessing to you.”
“At that moment, I was quite envious of Third Uncle. If I were healthy now, I would definitely woo you.”
Xia Tang snorted. “Don’t be too confident in yourself. Even if you chase me, I won’t agree.”
“Then I’ll become an old man with you.” With that said, Huo Ze’s eyes dimmed. “It’s a pity that I don’t have the chance.”
Xia Tang turned back and looked at Huo Ze. “Let’s not talk about these unhappy things.”
Huo Ze hummed. Suddenly, he reached his hand toward Xia Tang’s face. There was a small snowball in his hand and when he touched her cheek, she shivered from the cold and glared at him. “You’re despicable!”
“Tangtang, come. Let’s have a snowball fight.”
In the snow, two figures started to chase each other.
…
They left the next morning.
They woke up very early, had breakfast, and watched the sunrise.
This was probably the most relaxed and happy time Xia Tang had spent with Huo Ze.
Because she had woken up too early, Xia Tang started to doze off after getting into the car.
While she was still in a daze, she suddenly heard Huo Ze say coldly, “What did you say?”
Huo Ze was talking to his assistant on the phone and the assistant said seriously, “Young Master Ze, there are carcinogens in your cigarette. Someone wanted you to die. For the past two years, you’ve been focused on your career and even received the approval of the chairman. There must be someone who doesn’t like you and used underhanded methods.”
“I don’t believe my family would do such a thing…”
Xia Tang opened her eyes and frowned when she saw Huo Ze’s cold expression.
Huo Ze suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the brakes.
Coming down from the snow mountain was all downhill slope. It was very dangerous for the brakes to fail.
“I’ll be back at the hospital soon. I won’t talk to you for now.” Huo Ze hung up and stabilized the steering wheel.
Xia Tang also felt that something was wrong. The speed of the descent was getting faster and faster, with no signs of slowing down at all.
“Young Master Huo, what’s wrong?” Xia Tang looked at the man’s thin and cold side profile.
Huo Ze frowned. “The brakes are not working. Hold on to the handrail.”
Xia Tang’s heart started to beat faster. When she was renting the car yesterday, Huo Ze had checked that the brakes were fine but they had suddenly stopped working. Had someone tampered with the car while they were asleep last night?
There were dangerous cliffs on both sides of the road. If she fell down, she would definitely be smashed into pieces.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xia Tang took out her phone and called for help.
However, she had just taken out her phone when they reached a sharp turn. As they could not control the speed of the car, the car inevitably hit the stone wall as they turned the corner.
Xia Tang’s forehead hit the car window and her mind went blank. The phone in her hand was thrown out.
