Chapter 122 - A Heartless Man
Xia Zhixing nodded her head, put down her chopsticks, and peeled the shrimp. After eating the shrimp her hands were greasy. Li Yunshen indulged in her smile, helped her peel another shrimp, and placed it in her bowl.
Xia Zhixing was so moved that she said, “Brother Yun, you are the best!”
Li Yunshen was shocked, “Little Star, did you know that you loved to say this to me when you were a child?”
“That means Brother Yun is really good! Xinxin, don’t you say?” Xia Zhixing asked Tang Xin, who was silent this whole time. He wanted to make her feel better, but he didn’t know that Tang Xin’s heart was broken at this moment.
However, how could her heart be broken if her feelings weren’t there in the first place? I don’t love him, so why do I feel hurt?
Looking at him being so gentle, so patient, so considerate to her; watching him show such a gentle smile toward her… her heart hurt so badly that she almost couldn’t breathe.
Cough... Li Yunshen cleared her throat and reminded her to act naturally.
Tang Xin hid her sadness, reluctantly raised her head, and said, “Why are you asking me about your Brother Yun?”
Xia Zhixing was stunned. If Tang Xin said this normally, she would have thought that she was joking. But what she said just now seemed a little pointed. What had happened?
“Xingxing, I forgot I had something important to do. I have to leave first.” Tang Xin said that, picked up her bag on the chair and left.
Xia Zhixing saw that she had something on her mind, so she didn’t stop her. She only told her to be careful.
At almost the same time Tang Xin went out, Wen Xi got a look from Li Yunshen. Immediately he put down his chopsticks, announced that he, too, had something to do, and left in a hurry.
Only Xia Zhixing and Li Yunshen were left in the room.
“Aww! I ordered a lot of food and there’s only us two; this is boring.” Xia Zhixing complained, disappointed.
“Little girl, aren’t I with you?” Li Yunshen naturally patted her small head.
“I’m twenty-six years old. I can call you Brother Yun, but you can’t call me a little girl anymore. Change it, you must change the way you call me!” Xia Zhixing ordered with conviction.
Li Yunshen looked at her, surprised. He was really glad that she could still keep her true nature and be frank and lovely even after all these years.
God finally heard his begging and saw him struggling on the edge of pain. Finally, God could not help but send his little girl back.
When they were in the car, they talked a lot. She told him that she had lost her memories at eight years old. She only knew that her name was Xia Zhixing and wanted to find someone related to her bracelet.
Although her story seemed simple, his intuition told him that it was not so simple. What’s more, he had previously suspected that the woman who opened up a store with Tang Xin was not so simple.
It did not matter to him though. No matter how big the secret was, he would sweep away any harm that may come her way!
From today on, from this moment on, he vowed that he would use his life to protect her and never let her suffer any harm. Never!
“Brother Yun, what? You don’t want to!?” Xia Zhixing puts her hand in front of Li Yunshen to bring his mind back.
“Yes, yes, yes. You are not a little girl, you are a big girl now,” Li Yunshen said with a smile.
His Little Star was now back. Naturally, his smile came back too.
“That’s almost the same!” Xia Zhixing protested angrily then suddenly remembered having met him at the orphanage. “By the way, Brother Yun, why were you at Star Orphanage?”
