Chapter 470: Chapter 468: A Misunderstanding Occurs
"Hmm, are you used to it here? Stay for now, and once things calm down, if you don’t want to stay in the school clinic, I’ll ask Mr. Lin to arrange sothing else for you," Chen Tianlong said with concern.
"Thank you, I’m okay for now."
Liu Ting had gotten used to rushing around, and now suddenly having to settle down felt a bit unsettling.
As they chatted, a gust of wind blew, and sand got into Liu Ting’s eyes, making her start rubbing them.
This small action triggered a flash of mory for Chen Tianlong.
When Shiqi was little, whenever wind and sand gusted by, she would rub her eyes. It was said she was born with sandy eyes, so it always felt like sand got in, but it was actually an eye condition.
And Liu Ting’s tiless action just now felt very familiar to Chen Tianlong.
"Liu Ting, what’s wrong?" Chen Tianlong leaned in, asking with concern.
"Chen Tianlong, it seems like sand got into my eyes, it’s quite uncomfortable," Liu Ting said gently while lightly wiping her eyes, montarily forgetting they were re strangers who had just recently t.
For so unknown reason, Liu Ting felt sowhat lost, as if the person before her was Xiaowu, perhaps because longing had turned into an ailnt, prone to causing hallucinations.
"Is that so? Well, open your eyes wide and I’ll blow them for you!"
At these words, Liu Ting froze. Such familiar words, unchanged despite countless winds and clouds, were exactly the sa, down to every single word.
Because Xiaowu had a habit, every ti he said this phrase, he would add a very distinctive modifier "wide" before telling soone to open their eyes.
At this mont, Liu Ting was lost.
"Xiao..."
"Whoof..."
Liu Ting was just about to call Xiaowu but Chen Tianlong suddenly blew into her eyes, causing tears to gush.
"Hehe, that’s right, the tears co out, and the sand will flow out with them, naturally, it’ll feel better."
Chen Tianlong said casually, not noticing anything amiss.
At this mont, Liu Ting had determined that Chen Tianlong was Xiaowu, and Xiaowu was Chen Tianlong. She really wanted to imdiately hug Chen Tianlong.
But just then, a beautiful figure appeared from behind them.
"Chen Tianlong, there’s sothing I want to talk to you about!"
Wu ngting’s voice trembled a bit, yet remained gentle and charming, without a hint of anger.
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, looked towards that distressed figure, imdiately understood, and hastily stood up, walking over to Wu ngting, then said, "ngting, why are you here? Let
introduce you..."
"Chen Tianlong, no need to explain, I saw it all." Wu ngting interrupted Chen Tianlong’s words directly. If she hadn’t seen with her own eyes Chen Tianlong helping the woman blow the sand out of her eyes, she wouldn’t believe that this scene before her eyes was real.
Who would, being with a woman unrelated to them, still ambiguously help blow out the sand from her eyes? Wu ngting was kind, but she was also a woman.
In a woman’s eyes, everything she sees for herself is more convincing than eloquence.
This ti, Chen Tianlong unfortunately was seen doing sothing he shouldn’t have done.
Actually, this scene shouldn’t have happened at all, if it were any other girl, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t have helped blow the sand from her eyes so closely.
That’s because he rembered the missing junior apprentice, he felt incredibly guilty about that incident and had nightmares for over ten years.
"ngting, it’s not what you think, please let
explain..."
Chen Tianlong hurried to hold Wu ngting’s hand, but she brutally shook it off.
Wu ngting walked back blankly and disheartened, not planning to go back to the classroom, but heading towards the girl’s dormitory.
"ngting..."
Chen Tianlong quickly chased after her, forcibly hugging her despite the odd looks from passersby.
"Chen Tianlong, please show so respect, and let
have so peace."
Wu ngting’s words turned cold, unprecedentedly cold, which left Chen Tianlong feeling a chill in his heart, and tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes.
For the first ti, he felt heartache, for the first ti, he felt wronged.
Watching Wu ngting’s silhouette walk further away, Chen Tianlong fell to his knees. Turns out the most painful thing in the world is losing the one you love.
This happened too suddenly, before Liu Ting could react, the situation had already spun out of control.
And the words Liu Ting had ready to say, never ca out.
At this mont, she realized, Chen Tianlong was no longer the Xiaowu of those years, he had his own life, the girl he liked, his own choices.
Biting her lip strongly, Liu Ting approached Chen Tianlong. This was, after all, the Xiaowu she had always loved. Regardless of what happened now, she didn’t want him to get hurt.
But seeing tears continuously rolling in Chen Tianlong’s eyes, she couldn’t help but redden her own.
"I’m sorry, Xiao... Chen Tianlong, it’s all my fault," Liu Ting said, feeling guilty.
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong held back his tears, turned around, took a deep breath, then forced a smile, saying, "Liu Ting, it’s not your fault, this is all a misunderstanding, let ngting calm down first, I’ll explain to her."
Liu Ting felt helpless, she never expected sothing like this would happen, just a few days into her ti at school, such an awkward situation arose.
After returning to the dorm, Chen Tianlong began calling Wu ngting, but the phone remained unanswered, which made Chen Tianlong very anxious.
Thinking it over, Chen Tianlong sent a text ssage, the content naturally explaining what had happened today.
But Wu ngting didn’t read it at all, nor did she want to, so Chen Tianlong’s text was as good as unsent, completely useless.
The night passed for Chen Tianlong muddled and dazed, his mind filled with images of Wu ngting curled up on the bed, sad and lonely, bringing an icy chill to his heart.
He never imagined that he would face a day where, in love, he felt so helpless.
Being an assassin, he was supposed to be cold-blooded, supposed to move on easily, but Wu ngting indeed made it hard for him to let go, at this mont, he realized, he could no longer let go of this woman.
Early the next morning, Chen Tianlong woke up very early, then wrote an apology letter and placed it on top of Wu ngting’s textbook, but unfortunately, Wu ngting didn’t show up all day. After asking her horoom teacher, he learned she had taken a leave of absence.
Chen Tianlong felt very helpless, he never knew this ti would make Wu ngting so saddened.
Thus, Chen Tianlong spent the entire day a bit lost, eventually climbing up to the rooftop to smoke, gazing at the distant scenery, suddenly feeling that the world had beco dark.
Lose you, gain the world, what does it matter?
At that mont, Chen Tianlong truly understood the deeper aning of this phrase, realizing once everything becos a habit, once mories beco beautiful, he discovered that without her, life was imperfect.
After taking a long breath, Chen Tianlong turned around, preparing to go downstairs, but found a familiar figure standing in front of him.
