Chapter 331: Chapter 331 Where Are You
So Bo Jingshen carried Su Lu into the convenience store.
He didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
But this handso man and beautiful woman did attract quite a few stares.
Bo Jingshen bought a bottle of jasmine tea and a bottle of jasmine honey tea, and since he was carrying her and had no free hands, he asked Su Lu to hold them.
He had his own motives too, and soon claid he was thirsty, but did not let her down and instead asked Su Lu to open the bottle of jasmine tea and feed him.
So on the way back to the lobster restaurant, the night air was filled with the scent of jasmine.
Bo Jingshen felt sowhat dreamy; he even sotis wondered if he was dreaming.
To be honest, during those isolated days, his routine had improved considerably, including his previously poor sleep. During that ti, he had dreamt of Su Lu on many occasions.
Sotis the dream had no real story—he just dreamt of himself holding Su Lu’s hand and walking on endlessly, just holding and walking.
In the dream, neither of them even spoke a word.
But for him, that dream was more than perfect because all he wanted was that simple desire—to walk with Su Lu continuously, endlessly.
Thus, when they reached the parking lot of the lobster restaurant, he felt sowhat reluctant, lanting that the road was too short.
From a distance, one could see a flashy silver sports car.
Bo Jingshen asked, “That one?”
“Yep,” Su Lu nodded, “It’s nice, isn’t it?”
Her tone carried a hint of pride. Bo Jingshen smiled, “It’s very nice. Ms. Zhao has good taste.”
“What’s the use though, it can’t even fit a car seat…” Su Lu tilted her head and hiccuped softly.
“Give the keys, I’ll take you ho.” Bo Jingshen finally set her down.
After Su Lu got down from his back, she stared at his back for a long ti.
“How…” Bo Jingshen saw that she didn’t move or react, turned his head, and noticed where her gaze was directed.
He imdiately realized what was happening. His first reaction was to turn around so she couldn’t keep staring, but since she had been gazing for so long, she must have seen it.
“Your back…” Su Lu was stunned, covering her mouth with her hand.
After all, it was sumr, and even though the sumr night’s breeze was relatively cool, it was still warm.
Carrying each other like that, their body temperatures mingled, and it wasn’t cool; Bo Jingshen’s back was soaked with sweat.
He was wearing a white T-shirt, which was thin and light.
Now, soaked with sweat, the situation on his back was clearly revealed.
There was a slight bulge, a hypertrophic scar from an old wound that protruded the surface of the skin, displaying the stark severity of the past.
But the scars on Bo Jingshen’s back didn’t appear as grim now, as they were covered by a design.
It was a large tattoo, big enough to completely cover the scars on his back. The design was clearly skillfully planned, with the raised scars enhancing the three-dinsional effect of the image.
Through the layer of the T-shirt, it looked blurry, but it was still clear that it seed like a group of angels surrounded sothing…
Even through the T-shirt, it was blurry and unclear, requiring careful examination.
Su Lu had been staring intently, so she was able to see clearly.
Surrounded by angels, there were two little angels.
One of them… was the face of Zhao Xiaole, while the other had no face.
Su Lu gently covered her mouth, her gaze trembling, her eyes filled with shock.
She didn’t wait for Bo Jingshen to turn around and avoid her, instead, she suddenly reached out, grabbed his clothes forcefully, and ripped open the back of his collar.
Bo Jingshen had never thought she would have such strength.
Of course, he didn’t know that every mother has an unexpected arm strength because they need to hold their children.
As the back collar was ripped open, the tattoo on the back was fully exposed.
Now, it was even clearer—the angels indeed surrounded two little angels.
Above them was a Gothic script in English, “god-bless-my-love.”
The tattoo clearly wasn’t new, and the little angel with Zhao Xiaole’s face, clearly wasn’t the current look of Zhao Xiaole.
But it was… the past appearance of Zhao Xiaole, back when he was a fragile premature baby, not as good-looking as he is now.
Su Lu could recognize it at a glance.
“What exactly… ” Su Lu stared blankly at Bo Jingshen, “When exactly did you…”
Su Lu couldn’t imagine when he had gotten this large tattoo.
“I…” Bo Jingshen lightly licked his lips, obviously sowhat at a loss, sowhat panicked, probably also not expecting Su Lu to find out.
Of course, he didn’t think Su Lu would never find out, but he just didn’t expect her to find out so quickly.
This caught him sowhat by surprise.
“This is an old photo of Xiao Le, back then, he was a very weak premature baby. How did you…” Su Lu furrowed her eyebrows tightly, took a deep breath, “I’ve been resentful.”
“What?” Bo Jingshen didn’t quite catch her sudden change of statent.
“I’ve been resentful. Although I don’t hate you, I have held resentnts.” Su Lu looked steadily at him, “How could you be so heartless? While giving birth to Xiao Le, I lost too much blood on the operating table. Despite my mother and brother arranging many volunteers beforehand, hoping the blood wouldn’t be needed, it ended up being used. I lost seven thousand milliliters of blood, practically replacing all the blood in my body, hovering between life and death, with Xiao Le so weak and fragile.”
“We needed you so much. Yet, you were not there; you just weren’t there. I’ve been resentful.” Su Lu looked unblinkingly at him, “At the tis we needed you most, you weren’t there, yet now you suddenly show up, claiming to be Xiao Le’s father, coming to and asking for forgiveness and acceptance, why! I’ve been resentful too.”
“You’re right to be resentful,” Bo Jingshen said with a bitter smile, nodding, “You’re right to be resentful. You should be.”
Su Lu stared intensely into his eyes, “Bo Jingshen, I’ll only give you one chance, I’m only asking once, listen carefully, then answer seriously. On the day Xiao Le was born, where exactly were you?”
Su Lu stared intently into his eyes, as if to catch any lie he might utter.
Just staring.
Bo Jingshen looked into her eyes, his deep eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of pity.
His voice hoarse, he spoke softly, “…I was in the operating room.”
Bo Jingshen looked straight into Su Lu’s eyes, he took a deep breath, exhaled lengthily, and then repeated, “I was right there in the operating room.”
“I pulled strings, bribed people, layer upon layer, just to sneak past your mother and brother, and entered the operating room as a surgical assistant. I was dressed in surgical attire, wearing a cap and a mask, no one recognized .”
