Chapter 786 - She… was Home
Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes, and at that time, a warm palm was already on her forehead.
“What’s the matter? Was it a nightmare?”
“I’m okay.” Xia Ruoxin lightly closed her teeth, and it seemed like she could still feel the taste of the bean she ate: salty, dry, and tasteless.
She suddenly remembered. That red bean. That half a red bean was at Shen Wei’s feet. However, she ate it. No, to put it more accurately, she did not eat it… she broke it apart.
“Sleep a little more.” Chu Lui massaged her temple and placed his hands on her shoulder. He patted them slowly as if he was pacifying a child.
Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes again, and she felt that she would not have nightmares anymore.
“Chu Lui?”
“Mm?” Chu Lui answered.
“Okay, let’s go home.” Xia Ruoxin smiled, but hidden in her smile, no one knew her heartache and her gratitude for still being alive. Luckily, she was still around.
Chu Lui opened the door; it was Xia Ruoxin’s house. It looked exactly the same like the past; everything had not changed. She walked over and touched the furniture, one by one. The inside was very clean, and it was almost dust-free.
“I’ll go fetch Rainy back.” Chu Lui took his clothes and wanted to fetch the child. If she knew that her mother was back, she would be elated.
“Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin placed her hand over the other and held it lightly. The heartache came back, but at last, she only gave Chu Lui her smile.
Chu Lui did not respond and took a long look at her before opening the door to go out.
Xia Ruoxin’s smile then started fading away.
“Sorry…” She muttered, but she did not know what she was apologizing for.
