CHAPTER 1082: CHAPTER 1082: ROSES AND TEARS (8)

She’s here, with Rentong and the others taking care of her, and him?

"Xiaoqing!" Qiao Liang smiled and stroked her little face, "Rest assured, I definitely won’t run this time. I’m just going over to notify them and I’ll be back with you immediately. I promise, once I’m back, you can have me accompany you for as long as you want, alright?"

Chu Xinqing lowered her eyelids, taking a light breath.

Of course, she wouldn’t believe him, knowing he’s just coaxing her casually.

The palm resting on the blanket gradually clenched. Chu Xinqing understood that once the day breaks, she couldn’t keep dreaming the fantasy of before; it’s time to wake from the dream now.

He doesn’t love her, she should let go!

No matter how painful or reluctant, she must let him go...

"If you want to go, then go, but you should go with Rentong and the others. As for me..." Her voice was very low, yet without any hint of stubbornness, only understanding and submissiveness, "There are police officers and doctors and nurses here to take care of me; I will be fine. Don’t worry, I won’t tell the family about this matter, and what I wrote in my letters before still stands. You don’t have to run anymore; I will handle everything well. From... from today... starting now... I... I won’t bother you anymore!"

On her sixteenth birthday, this bastard quietly stole her first kiss and also took her entire heart...

For six years, every day she waited for him to confess his love for her, wholly and deeply in love with him... someone she loved for six years has long become a part of her life.

Letting go hurts like cutting off a piece of oneself!

Her hand, which was clutching Qiao Liang’s shirt corner, gradually loosened, letting the fabric, wrinkled by her hold, slip from her fingers. Chu Xinqing gritted her teeth, trying hard not to cry.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly lifted her face to reveal a strong yet beautiful smile to him.

"Aliang, you should go!"

What is called love, what is affection, should one hold tight or let go?

Even now, Chu Xinqing hasn’t figured it out; she just feels they should have an ending.

Since he doesn’t want it, persisting in this entanglement has no meaning, and might even bring disaster to him.

Just like last night, had the police been a little later, she might indeed have caused his death, and if that had happened, she might regret it for life.

Or perhaps, leaving is the best outcome for him; as for her, she’s unsure of how she would face a life after losing him...

His gaze fell on her fingers, watching his shirt gradually slip free from her fingertips; he only felt like a kite with a broken string, empty and miserably uncomfortable.

She said she wouldn’t entangle him anymore, and once he left this time, she certainly wouldn’t chase after him again...

He wouldn’t have to hide anymore, wouldn’t have to browse the supermarket while glancing around anxiously, fearing she’d suddenly jump out from behind a shelf, smiling and grabbing him, "Aliang, I found you again!"

Clearly, arrangements were settled and he was ready to leave, but when Chu Xinqing stopped him, Qiao Liang had thought of countless reasons to persuade her.

But now, when she said "you should go" with tears in her eyes and a smile, he didn’t feel any sense of relief.

Qiao Liang gazed at Chu Xinqing before him, staring at her little face marked with scars... suddenly feeling a bit lost.

Is she really letting go just like that?

Then, will she find another boy, caring for him as she did for him, chasing someone else as she chased him, and she will kiss and embrace with that man...

"No way!"

Qiao Liang suddenly shouted aloud, refusing to allow it. What if she met a bastard, a playboy, or... a deceiver...

He didn’t want to continue thinking about it, reaching out to steady her shoulder, bringing his forehead against hers, feeling the fever has subsided, he immediately stood up, "Someone come!"
