BXBX NOVEL Chapter 268 - Two-Hundred and Sixty-Eight: Met
Xiang Yang wasn’t good at socializing. She had always presented herself as cold and aloof when secretly she had severe social anxiety and only felt safe beside her socially savvy mother-in-law. Fang Xi followed the duo because she was close to Xiang Yang, and while Ye Kun was the Ye family’s representative today, now that he had a girlfriend, he followed her like a loyal dog, tail wagging.
Fang Xi found him slightly too clingy and said, “Go and talk to your friends. Don’t worry; I’ll stay with Auntie Xu and Xiang Yang. Come find me after you’ve finished socializing, and we’ll leave early and accompany Yun Nan and Shi Nian at the hospital.”
Ye Kun only focused on the last sentence and uttered, “I don’t think those two need or want us to accompany them.”
Fang Xi didn’t say anything and stared at him reproachfully. Ye Kun immediately surrendered. “Okay, okay! I’ll find Liang Han and comfort the poor bachelor. I finally don’t have to fear being gossiped about when I’m with him!”
He took a few steps forward but was still worried, so he pointed at the dining tables on both sides of the main hall. “Later, when Auntie Xu and the others are chatting, you and Xiang Yang can head over and get something to eat. Don’t just stay beside them and starve yourself like a silly duckling.”
Xu Yun couldn’t help but tease, “Oh, is that so? Well, she’s your precious girl so you can look after her yourself! We wouldn’t want her to starve, would we?”
Embarrassed, Ye Kun walked away with a smile. Xu Yun and Xiang Yang teased Fang Xi, who blushed, but her heart felt warm. ‘I didn’t know the feeling of being cherished and loved could actually be so great,’ Fang Xi thought. She’d lived for 28 years but never had such an experience.
Like a moth, she dove into the flames of kinship and love without hesitation, but their scorching light and heat never had any pity for her. No one had ever cared when her heart got burned to ashes. Betore she met Ye Kun, Fang Xi had never been loved or experienced being loved—not by her parents or the man she’d loved with all her might.
Ye Kun came into her life unexpectedly but gave her a warmth and experience she’d never had. Ye Kun respected all her habits; he put her feelings first and didn’t allow her to compromise even one little bit—he took care of her, from food, clothing, accommodation, and transport to her mental health and emotions.
Ye Kun said that she deserved the best in the world. That was the highest praise Fang Xi had ever received in her life. She drowned in Ye Kun’s love, unable to extricate herself. She learned that time means nothing when it comes to love; she’d spent seven years and still couldn’t warm that man’s cold stone heart. However, Ye Kun only used seven months to heal and fill up her torn and tattered heart, bit by bit.
Xi Cheng turned around and saw a smiling face imprinted in his bones and the depths of his soul. It brought back all the memories of the time they’d shared together.
“Xi Cheng, what kind ofgirl do you like? Ifyour ideal girl is a hundred points, how manypoints am I?’
“Xi Cheng, do I look good in pink? Oh, you don’t like pink?Alright, I won’t wear this color again. I won’t like anything you don’t!”
“Xi Cheng, we’re going to put on a play, and the director chose me as the female lead. Do you not like me acting? Then, I’ll reject it. There’s nothing more important than you in this world! I only want to be the female lead in your life’,
“Xi Cheng, don’t drink so much; it’s not good for your health. I’m worried about you.”
“Xi Cheng, don’t call a designated driver when you’re out drinking in the future;
I’ll go pickyou up instead. That way, I can feel more at ease. I won’t be able to sleep waiting for you, anyway.”
“Xi Cheng, a guy is pursuing me, but I rejected him directly. I told him I have a boyfriend, and he’s super handsome! I love him so much/’
Xi Cheng’s body swayed. He closed his eyes before opening them again, staring straight at her. She was attentively listening to the person beside her. Her eyes had curved in mirth, and her soft and cute appearance hadn’t changed at all.
‘She’s here! My Fang Xi is actually here!’ Xi Cheng mentally cried. He strode over and grabbed Fang Xi’s wrist, his rapid breathing showing his excitement as he exclaimed, “Fang Xi, you’re here!”
Thunderstruck, Fang Xi looked at Xi Cheng in shock. Xi Cheng pulled her into his arms, closed his eyes, and lowered his head to bury his face in her shoulder. It was the same comfortable position she used to hold him every time he drank too much. He mumbled, “Fang Xi, I finally found you! I’ve finally found you! I’m sorry; I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault! I was wrong. Please forgive me. Forgive me, okay? Will you come back? Please come back..”
