Chapter 146: Season 46
Chapter 146: Season 46
Suddenly, Orange turned around abruptly and rushed to Xie Luo's feet. It meowed at Xie Luo again and again, each meow getting louder than the last, as if it was accusing her.
"Orange hasn't forgotten you, it's just very angry. It's been looking forward to you coming to take it home."
"we are the same."
"... ...sorry."
It seemed that Xie Luo had nothing else to say except sorry.
But the current situation was caused by her in the past, and she had no reason to feel wronged.
"Hug it, it won't refuse."
"Although it is angry, it will be happy if you hug it. If you touch it more, it will not be angry anymore."
"Is that so?"
Xie Luo picked up the orange at his feet. Although Orange was still meowing fiercely, he hardly struggled. His pair of green eyes looked at Xie Luo sadly.
She touched Orange's head. Orange didn't react at first, but in the end he kept rubbing his hands against Xie Luo's.
Xie Luo smiled with his eyes bent, his heart softened: "Are you really not angry anymore? It purred at me, so well behaved. Has it always been so well behaved?"
"... Well, come in, there are slippers."
"it is good."
Ji You poured her a glass of water, but found that the orange was still sticky in Xie Luo's arms, making gurgling sounds.
You can see that Orange is very happy.
Ji You couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Over the years, it was not only Juzi who was waiting for Xie Luo, Ji You was also waiting for Xie Luo.
He might be angry, just like Juzi, but as long as she was willing to come back and coax him, he would immediately leave with Xie Luo without any complaints.
But she never wanted to come, let alone be coaxed, and she was even unwilling to look back.
Orange is usually very majestic and has a bad temper. He likes to hide when he sees strangers and doesn't like to talk to them at all.
When it is with Ji You, it will be more lively and will take the initiative to get close to Ji You, but it will never be as enthusiastic as it is today.
This exception only applies to Xie Luo.
Juzi got what he wanted, but Ji You did not. He only got an apology from Xie Luo and nothing else.
Xie Luo didn't say that he wanted to get back together with him, and he might not have even had such an idea from the beginning to the end.
She feels guilty about her past, but probably never wants to go back.
"Thank you."
Xie Luo took the water and finally shifted his attention away from Juzi, but happened to see the red rope on the other person's hand.
The red rope was not conspicuous at first because Ji You was wearing a coat. But now he took off his coat and was only wearing a shirt, so the red rope was revealed during his movements.
The moment he saw the red rope, Xie Luo didn’t think much about it.
She took a sip of water and racked her brains to find a topic to talk about, so she blurted out: "Red rope? Do you like these accessories too?"
“… ….”
The young man glanced at her, lowered his eyes with some disappointment, then rolled up his sleeves and presented the red rope inside to Xie Luo in its entirety.
There were two things hanging on the red string, one was a wooden carving of a kitten, and the other was a bead with words engraved on it.
Later, Xie Luo took it off and threw it back to Ji You. Ji You couldn't bear to throw it away and kept wearing it on his hand.
But Xie Luo didn't recognize it.
It was not until the red string was fully revealed that Xie Luo's vague memories suddenly became clear: "Isn't this the red string you gave me? You... you still keep it?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it just now. I only saw the red rope and nothing else."
The young man shifted his gaze to Xie Luo and shook his head, seemingly without any expression.
But Xie Luo saw a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Xie Luo was silent for a moment, and finally regained her sense of purpose. She always felt that Ji You's series of things were not just to get her to come and see Orange.
If we were to make a bolder guess, could it be that the other party still had feelings for her?
A bit narcissistic, but not impossible
After all, with Ji You's sensitive personality, he would not do anything useless.
If he really hated Xie Luo, he could just turn around and walk away when he saw Xie Luo without saying a word to him.
But he didn't. He even took the initiative to talk to Xie Luo and asked her if she wanted to go to Lao Liu's place.
Maybe you can try it out.
"Ayou, I feel like I've said sorry so many times today. If I can, I really want to make it up to you and Orange."
"If you're willing, we can get back together and give Orange a perfect and happy home. What do you think?"
Ji You: ...
Ji You:!!!
Ji You, who was originally feeling a little disappointed, was caught off guard by Xie Luo's straight attack. He had never expected Xie Luo to say this and was stunned for a moment.
Emotionally, Ji You wanted to agree immediately, but his reason did not allow him to do so.
Things that are easily obtained will never be cherished.
"...Are you teasing me?"
"Just like before, you promised me easily, and then you abandoned me easily, leaving me alone, walking and stopping, but unable to get out."
"I miss you very much, but I am also afraid of what you are going to say now. They are just like the promises you made so easily, empty and illusory, and can only be used to fool people."
Ji You doesn't hate others, but he is a human being. He has expectations but is more afraid of being disappointed again.
"I swear, I'm not kidding this time! I'm not making empty promises, I really want to be with you."
"Ayou, I really regret it. I was wrong back then. I hope you can give me a chance."
"It doesn't matter if you don't give me a chance. I'm good at pestering you. Don't be afraid of rejection. As long as you persist, you will win. I'll come every day from now on..."
Before she could finish her words, she was hugged by the other party.
The young man took off his glasses at some point, and those surging emotions finally erupted completely in a place where Xie Luo couldn't see.
He lowered his eyes and hugged the other person tightly.
It was clearly him who was hugging the other person, and this was clearly a posture that showed him taking full control of the initiative, but his expression was as if he was shrinking himself into the other person's arms.
No matter how Ji You changes, no matter how perfect and cold he appears on the outside, he is still the imperfect Ji You deep down.
He will still be afraid and sensitive.
He doesn't show it because he doesn't know who to talk to.
The people he could once tell his story to no longer want him.
During countless confused nights, Ji You could only hug Orange and mutter about his thoughts, but in the end he received no response.
Because Orange is just a kitten and can't give Ji You any response.
Emotions surged in his eyes, but eventually turned into deep heartache.
"A Luo, you must have had a hard time these years, right?"
