Xin i told Su Yuchen about everything. How she was feeling bad when Zhou Mingyu and Qian Fan didn't co to et her in the hospital? How she had caught the interlock of their hands? About the proofs which were given to her by Gu Nan and about her confrontation with them.
Her heart turned heavy when she talked about them but later, she felt light. She felt so light. She felt light upon letting the things off her heart. She also felt light because Su Yuchen listened to her with full attention and without any interruption.
"I know I was a fool to trust them. I had wasted so many years of my life for those two. They are so unworthy. They never felt any remorse for cheating ." There was so much pain and hurt in the voice of Xin i.
Su Yuchen wanted to lift the divider and reach to her. He wanted to hug her which he did. He couldn't control himself upon seeing the tears in her eyes and before he knew he was hugging Xin i tight in his arms.
Huang Chu was shocked when he saw the scene from the rearview mirror. He didn't take a second before lifting the divider to block their view. A small smile appeared on his lips.
From so long he was seeing his boss suffering to find his true love, his Mian. Now his boss had found the true love, maybe not in the form of Mian but as Xin i. Now he couldn't wait for his boss to realize that truth.
On the back seat, Xin i was shocked due to the sudden and warm hug. Her whole body was numb. She didn't know what should she do? Should she wrap her arms around him or push him away?
"Qian Fan and Zhou Mingyu both are fools to not realize your value. You are a rare piece of diamond, Xin i. You shouldn't feel bad for them. Instead, they should feel sad for cheating a person like you. You are a great person."
Warmth spread over the heart of Xin i when she heard his words. A smile left her lips. Her whole body started to shiver in delight. A blush appeared on her cheeks. She took her lower lips in-between her teeth and smiled slightly.
She was feeling happy to be complinted by her crush. She felt happy upon getting hugged by her crush.
Xin i could feel the hard body of Su Yuchen rubbing against her soft body. Her blush turned darker when she rembered his half-nude body which she had seen before.
"You all good now?" Su Yuchen asked after breaking the hug. "I know I shouldn't have asked you about your friend but I wanted you to let it go."
Xin i nodded her head and placed her hands on her hot cheeks. She felt thankful to her stars that it was dark and Su Yuchen could not see her red cheeks.
"So tell sothing from your childhood?" Su Yuchen asked in an attempt to change the topic.
Xin i smiled at his effort. "Who rember anything from their childhood? I don't rember anything except for my fights with my brother, Xin Yan." Xin i shrugged. She didn't add the na of Zhou Mingyu and Qian Fan. She didn't want to rember them.
Sotis, Xin i felt that heroines in the novel were lucky. It was so easy for them to move on from their cheating boyfriend. They didn't even cry or feel sad when taking their revenge. She also wanted to be like them. She didn't want to feel bad, not even an ounce.
She also wanted to take their na as the na of a stranger, without any hurt or pain.
"Do you rember the celebration of your sixth birthday?" Su Yuchen asked and nudged the side of Xin i who seed to be lost in her thoughts.
"Who rembers that?" Xin i chuckled. "I don't think any adult can rember his sixth birthday."
"Hey, I rember that clearly. I rember hearing my na for the first ti from the mouth of my best friend."
"Geez, your mory is very strong." Xin i shook her head. "Tell the na of your classmates in the seventh standard. I am sure that you don't rember half of their nas."
"You sure," Su Yuchen challenged her and with that, he recited nas of his classmates like a robot.
Like this, they both kept talking about silly questions, forgetting who they were and where they were.
On driver seat, Huang Chu was smiling from ear to ear upon hearing the happy voice of his boss. He had never seen his boss talking like this. In five year of his service and six years of friendship before that, it was the first ti Su Yuchen was talking so freely.
Su Yuchen wasn't hitching before telling many things to Xin i. He spoke about many incidents in his life about which even Huang Chu was unaware of. He talked about many things except for off-limit topics like Mian and his parents.
Huang Chu kept the speed of car slow and drive through many wrong ways as to give longer ti to his boss and his love interest. It had been already an hour and a half that they were talking but both of them hadn't realized it till now.
"So tell about the first ti where you got scolded badly?" Xin i asked.
Su Yuchen, who was laughing till now after hearing a funny incident from the mouth of Xin i, stopped talking and thought about such an incident where he got scolded very badly.
"So, I was six years old back then and what happened was, one day, I was giving bath to my best friend in a bathtub. After giving her bath, I left her inside the bathtub and ran towards her room to retrieve a towel. When I returned, my guardian was already consoling a crying her. That day she had scolded badly for being irresponsible."
"She scolded badly for leaving a two-year old in the bathtub. Anything could have happened to her if my guardian hadn't arrived on the ti. It was the first ti that I got scolded badly and it was one of the tis where I was scared out of my life."
"You love your best friend, isn't it? She is very lucky to have you as her best friend."
Eyes of Xin i turned soft when she talked about his friendship. He was a good friend.
"Su Yuchen, I have one thing to ask from you. Why does your every story have this guardian? It gives a feeling like you were in…"
"Orphanage, you guessed it right," Su Yuchen smiled a sad smile. "I had spent ten years of my life in an orphanage, four to fourteen."
"So you're not Su?"
"Nah, that's the tragedy. I was not an orphan in reality. Long story short, I am Su." Su Yuchen announced and smiled to Xin i.
"It must be really tough for you to stay in the orphanage, without any love of parents. Other kids must have bullied you. You must have dreamt of a happy family like other kids, your own house, your parents…You must have imagined yourself in the place of other kids who had their parents beside them."
Voice of Xin i held so much pain that it shocked Su Yuchen. He looked at Xin i with wide eyes.
"You are talking like an expert don't tell that you were also an orphan, adopted in the family of Xin."
Su Yuchen looked at Xin i with hopeful eyes, waiting to hear her reply.
