Yang Meirong took the twins upstairs to rest, and Zhixin went back to his room as well, knowing that his sister and brother-in-law must have a lot to talk about.
Qin Chu and Huo Mian slowly headed upstairs together. As soon as they walked into the main bedroom, and before Huo Mian could react, Qin Chu pushed her down onto their bed and kissed her passionately.
His kisses and touch fell onto her like a rainstorm, showering her entire body.
She wasn’t even prepared for this…
It wasn’t until both of them felt weak that Qin Chu let her go… He held her face in his hand and looked at her up close… Everything felt so unreal as if he was living in a dream.
His hand glided from her hair, all the way down to her soft lips… He didn’t want to let her go, ever, and he couldn’t move his eyes away from her.
“Mian… it’s been four years, more than 1460 days and nights… I missed you every single second.”
“So did I…” Huo Mian looked at Qin Chu, her gaze as gentle as the spring wind. If she could, Huo Mian really wanted time to pause, right then and there.
“I’m sorry for all you’ve been through over the last four years. It’s all my fault,” Qin Chu apologized sincerely.
“No, it’s not your fault, I was the one who asked Rick to make you board that plane… You have no idea how terrified I was to hear that the plane had crashed… I blamed myself so much, I selfishly thought what I did was for your good, but if I didn’t, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened. I never hated you, I only hated myself…” Huo Mian said, tears falling down her face like a waterfall.
Qin Chu raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face. “Don’t cry, Mian, I’m home now. Although we’ve been apart for so long, God’s been great to me. I’m so glad I can come back to see you guys in one piece. Mian, I was actually really scared…”
“Of what?” Huo Mian gently asked.
“I was scared that no matter how much I apologized and no matter how many memories we had together, it wasn’t going to matter in the face of Su Yu. He took care of you for four years… and I had no confidence in myself. I wasn’t even with you when you were going through your worst when you were pregnant and giving birth… I thought… you might have forgotten me…”
“Really? Did you have that little faith in me?” Huo Mian smiled bitterly. If she was really going to fall for Su Yu, would she have waited for four years?
If she did, she wouldn’t be Huo Mian… the woman that Qin Chu fell in love with in his youth, and the woman that Su Yu could never forget…
“It wasn’t that I didn’t have faith in you, I didn’t have faith in myself. I’m not perfect anymore… my leg may never recover, and I might never be able to carry you again…” Qin Chu looked down, his expression filled with doubt.
He really wanted to come back after he found a better treatment plan and made a full recovery. However, he couldn’t take it anymore. In the last year, he barely slept at night, and would constantly dream of Huo Mian and the twins.
He felt like he was possessed; therefore, although he knew it wasn’t the best time to come back, he still did. If he came back to see Mian with Su Yu, then he was going to leave without another word.
All he wanted was to look at her, even for a little while…
If she was still waiting for him, then… Could they go back to the way they were? He knew this was a selfish thought, but… people were always selfish in front of the people they loved, right?
Huo Mian slowly stood up, kneeled onto the floor, and gently pulled up Qin Chu’s pants.
“Mian, don’t…” Qin Chu wanted to stop her, but Huo Mian ignored him and pulled them up anyways. “Let me see your leg…”
As soon as she saw the giant wound on and around his knee… Huo Mian’s tears began falling uncontrollably, like a broken tap…
