21: Chapter 23: Everyone Has a Bitter History 21: Chapter 23: Everyone Has a Bitter History Su Xiaoya felt a jolt through her body and her mind went blank when Li Xiaoqiang said she was his girlfriend.
As far as romantic relationships were concerned, Su Xiaoya was completely a blank slate.
After Li Xiaoqiang said those words, he took her hand and said, “Let’s go!”
Then he completely ignored the fat boss who was wailing on the ground.
The two of them walked slowly under the streetlights, shoulder to shoulder, like a couple.
Su Xiaoya held her hands behind her back and stared at her toes, speaking softly, “Why did you say I was your girlfriend just now?”
Li Xiaoqiang thought Su Xiaoya was going to be angry and scratched his head embarrassingly, “Xiaoya, you are my friend, and you are female, so shouldn’t it be girlfriend?”
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoya suddenly stopped, fixing her gaze on Li Xiaoqiang, her eyes filled with deep questioning.
Li Xiaoqiang, feeling the intensity of Su Xiaoya’s gaze that seed to emanate Spiritual Energy, didn’t know why, but he felt chilled.
He muttered to himself, that beauty, wasn’t I just making a slightly racy joke?
It’s not that serious, besides, I didn’t do anything to you, did I?
Su Xiaoya said expressionlessly, “Really?”
Li Xiaoqiang hastily nodded, “Really, do I look like a bad guy to you?”
“Cut it out!” Su Xiaoya shook her head, “I’ve heard a saying, bad people always say they are good people.”
What could Li Xiaoqiang say?
He could only respond with silence.
But the very next mont, the event Li Xiaoqiang encountered nearly scared him to death.
Su Xiaoya turned around and ran straight toward the bustling highway!
Li Xiaoqiang hurriedly chased after her, shouting, “Xiaoya, stop, what are you doing?
Damn!”
Su Xiaoya didn’t pay any attention to Li Xiaoqiang, and a car was about to hit her!
Li Xiaoqiang felt as if his soul had flown away!
With a fierce pounce, he pushed Su Xiaoya aside.
The car’s horn was so loud it felt like it was piercing his eardrums, like needles stabbing them.
The intense light made it impossible to open his eyes, and at that mont, that stretch of the road beca chaotic.
The driver braked urgently, poked his head out of the window, and yelled angrily, “If you want to die, go jump off a building, don’t run into the road, damn it, you nearly scared to death.”
Li Xiaoqiang hurriedly helped Su Xiaoya up and apologized, “Everyone, I’m sorry.”
After that, the two of them left and fled from the scene, and once they had escaped, Li Xiaoqiang stared at Su Xiaoya and frowned, “Why did you do that just now?”
Su Xiaoya stared at Li Xiaoqiang and began to giggle foolishly.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoqiang choked up, thinking perhaps Su Xiaoya had gone mad?
But Su Xiaoya’s next words negated that thought.
“I’m very relieved and happy that you could disregard your own safety to save .”
Su Xiaoya smiled sweetly.
Li Xiaoqiang felt Su Xiaoya’s words were too naive, completely incomprehensible.
He said speechlessly, “Su Xiaoya, I’m seriously telling you right here that you are a lunatic.
I almost died saving you last ti, do you think this is sothing to be happy about?”
Su Xiaoya wasn’t angry, she looked up at the moon in the sky, tears involuntarily streaming down her face.
But she still smiled, “It’s different this ti.
Last ti, it was about safety, but this ti, it’s about feelings!”
Li Xiaoqiang felt like he had understood sothing, and he didn’t interrupt Su Xiaoya’s words.
Su Xiaoya continued, “Li Xiaoqiang, do you know why I’ve never been in love?
Do you know why I do this part-ti job?
You don’t know, because you have never really understood .”
“I admit that heaven gave a pretty face, a beautiful exterior.
n like the mont they see , haha, do you suddenly find ridiculous?
Always dignified and ladylike, but when I speak, I exude a decayed stench?”
Li Xiaoqiang, upon hearing these words, didn’t know what to say.
He stared at Su Xiaoya, who wore a bitter smile and quietly let her tears flow.
This beauty who was rated the number one beauty among national university students, pursued by the rich and the noble, yet she had a side unknown to others.
Su Xiaoya stared at the moon and said, “I had a great family, admired by the neighbors, but only I knew what was really going on.
When Mom found out Dad was having an affair, she was heartbroken.”
“She brought a strange man ho.
That day, Dad and I ca ho, Mom brought a strange man, not caring at all about Dad’s gaze.”
“That situation was absolutely devastating for Dad.
That day, Dad didn’t say anything; he just silently left.
I couldn’t understand the adults’ thoughts, I couldn’t grasp their actions.”
“Since that day, that ho no longer felt like a ho, filled with filth, decay.
They often brought strangers ho, completely disregarding a child’s feelings, disregarding the image of parents.
What kind of ho was that?”
“I don’t understand why they claid to love each other, yet tortured themselves desperately.”
“They lived a life of debauchery, completely ignoring , their daughter.
Whether I scored zero or a hundred at school, nobody cared.
I cried, pleading with them not to do this, but they only intensified.”
“One day I couldn’t stand it anymore, I took a kitchen knife from the kitchen.
I confronted them saying, if you can’t give a complete ho, you shouldn’t have brought into this world, I want to kill myself.”
“But then Dad hurriedly took the knife away and said one thing to , ‘Daughter, Dad isn’t a good father, nor a good man.'”
“After he said that, he killed my mom.
Do you know what that scene was like?
Do you know how it feels to be covered in the blood of a loved one?
For an eight-year-old child, do you know what that ant?”
After Su Xiaoya finished speaking, she squatted down, hugging her knees, crying heart-wrenchingly.
Li Xiaoqiang hadn’t expected Su Xiaoya’s childhood to be so tragic, and he felt his own eyes grow sour.
Su Xiaoya was still sobbing.
She had never shared her background with anyone else.
Today was the first ti, this story had been buried in her heart for fifteen years.
The tornt it represented for her, only she knew.
Li Xiaoqiang suddenly felt that Su Xiaoya was incredibly magnificent, truly remarkable.
Su Xiaoya sobbed, “Dad was sentenced to death for this, and I was sent to an orphanage.
At the orphanage, no kids wanted to play with , no adult wanted to take in.”
“They knew I was raised in that kind of family, afraid I might turn out like my parents.
Until I was ten, I t Grandma Zhao, who adopted .
That elderly woman nearing seventy took to school every day, tucked in every night, taught to sing Beijing opera, taught how to behave and handle matters.”
“Now, Grandma Zhao is my only family.
I need to work hard to earn money; I want to keep my only family mber by my side.
I don’t want to watch her leave .
I want to provide her with the best dical care.”
Having said that, Su Xiaoya wiped her tears, stood up, and with reddened eyes, smiled at Li Xiaoqiang, “Although I was taking a risk just now, I felt it was worth it!”
“My demands for love are very simple, I don’t want fanciful romance, nor do I need a grand mansion from the other person.
I just hope for a complete family.
You can be with other won, but please don’t let know.”
Facing this strong girl, Li Xiaoqiang didn’t know how to respond.
Suddenly, Su Xiaoya plunged into Li Xiaoqiang’s arms, embracing him tightly, and whispered, “Would you like to be my boyfriend?”
