In the heavy snowfall, Chu Xiaoxiao seemed to hear a familiar voice with the sliver of reason left.

Hurrying footsteps from far to near, the figure swayed in front of her.

In a trance, she felt that she had entered a warm embrace, and her breath was no longer freezing cold, but a familiar aroma of warm herbs...

"Chu Xiaoxiao?"

"...Chu Xiaoxiao?!"

All the inexplicable stubbornness disappeared in an instant, the camouflage armor collapsed and dissipated, she could no longer support her body and fell heavily, her consciousness fell into a chaotic darkness...

Seeing Chu Xiaoxiao unconscious, Mrs. Li couldn't help feeling guilty.

As a mother, she saw her son staring at her with red eyes as if he were an enemy.

She was so familiar with this look, she had seen it once before, at the funeral of his father's death.

At that time, he was staring at her with exactly the same eyes, only that one time, it was deeply engraved in her bones, and it has been tormenting her heart all the time for so many years.

"Jing'er..."

Her heart ached.

"If you dare to touch her again, don't blame me for not remembering the weak mother-child relationship with you at the end!"

After the words fell, Mrs. Li staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, the personal servant beside her supported her so that she would not fall to the ground.

"Jing'er, do you know what she did behind your back!"

Seeing that her son is still favoring this flamboyant woman, Mrs. Li hates and feels distressed.

Li Jing, who was leaving with Chu Xiaoxiao in his arms, stopped without turning his head, his back was colder than the ice and snow in that winter, and it directly poked Madam Li's heart.

"No matter what she does, I won't allow you to hurt her."

After a pause, his tone became even colder: "You don't have that qualification."

"Jinger!"

She looked at his receding back and shouted.

She really wanted to tell him that this woman hooked up with other men behind your back, but she opened her mouth, but she clenched her fingers tightly and swallowed the words forcefully.

Nothing more...

That's it!

……

After being frozen for several hours, even the iron body couldn't hold it.

Chu Xiaoxiao, who was always in good physical condition, fell into a serious illness with a persistent high fever, and her whole body was as pale and weak as a crumbling withered leaf.

Li Jing also guarded her night after night, suffering from dark circles under his eyes, but he was tireless.

"Master, Xiangxiang and I are watching here, you go and rest first."

Li Jing was unmoved.

"Master, please go and rest, at least sleep for three or four hours, and you can recover some strength."

Li Jing still didn't respond.

Ah San was so worried that she almost burst into tears: "Master, you don't know that your body is weak, so it's not a good idea to just guard it like this. Don't wait so hard for the young mistress to wake up, you broke yourself... Father!"

This sentence finally worked.

Li Jing raised his bruised eyes and looked at him for a while, then murmured:
"What you said is... I have to wait for her until she wakes up."

Ah San was overjoyed, and hurriedly coaxed:
"That's right, that's the reason!"

He hurriedly said to Xiangxiang: "Xiangxiang, you take good care of the young mistress, I will help the master to rest, if the young mistress shows signs of waking up, please tell me to inform the grandpa, you understand?"

As he spoke, he winked at Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang understood what he meant, and nodded in agreement:
"Sure, young master, go rest at ease!"

Ah San helped Li Jing out.

As soon as I left the room, I saw another large pink thermos on the table downstairs.

"Where did it come from again?"

His eyes were cold, and his tone could not hear the slightest warmth.

Ah San nodded with difficulty: "Yes... maybe Mrs. Li also knows that what she did is wrong, so she wants to make up for it..."

Li Jing's eyes became colder, he coughed several times, turned around and walked to the bedroom:

"threw."

Ah San didn't dare to say much, and immediately responded, "Understood, sir."

……

During Chu Xiaoxiao's fever, she was having nightmares day in and day out.

The past reappeared one by one in the dream——

For the sake of the scumbag, she defended herself like a jade and made suggestions.

Turning around among those big-bellied dignitaries, accepting her own nature, cutting off her own wings, just being the cute and gentle little woman behind her...

The scumbag put his arms around the princess, forced her to drink a glass of poisoned wine, and sent her on her way.

The scumbag man became a son-in-law, and the scenery is infinite, and it has become a good story with the princess and his children...

Those pictures were compared and reproduced countless times, turning into a bloody dagger, piercing Chu Xiaoxiao's heart with pain.

Really ironic!
The screen changed and we came to the 21st century.

On the wedding night, she made a big promise to stay away from men and live only for herself.

Kicking Li Jing hard, confronting Li Jing, almost killed half of his life, at first everything seemed to be on the normal track.

But I don't know since when, she gradually stopped fighting him, and started coaxing him because he was unhappy, calling him "Jing Jing" affectionately, and just treating him as normal, and staying up late waiting for him to come home...

Looking back suddenly, I realized that I had forgotten my original intention, and almost fell into the illusory love again.

Because of her unformed love, Xiu Xiu's assistant almost knelt down and begged her to stay away from Xiu Xiu, so that his future could not be delayed.

Sun Qingshu cried and told her that he would never be happy for the rest of his life.

Scene after scene appeared in front of her eyes, and Chu Xiaoxiao realized more and more clearly:
Li Jing's love for her was a suffocating bondage to her.

If she really got this love, at best she would just become a puppet of love...

Apart from him, he didn't allow her to see anything else, including friendship.

It's really scary.

In the dream, she and him were standing on the spring grass basking in the sun, Li Jing turned to look at her, smiling softly:

"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid. I will always guard you by the cliff, just you and me. Let's accompany each other like this until we grow old."

"……cliff?"

She was puzzled.

At this moment, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the ground suddenly collapsed.

Chu Xiaoxiao screamed and fell into the crack.

She called him to save her, but what responded to her was his laughter:
"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid. I'm with you, I'm afraid I'm with you..."

I am with you.

I am with you.

These words echoed in Chu Xiaoxiao's ears like a nightmare.

She clenched her hands uneasily, loosened them, and clenched them again, waking up Xiangxiang who was dozing off while holding her hand.

When the little girl raised her eyes, she saw beads of sweat dripping from Chu Xiaoxiao's forehead, her face was full of pain, and she quickly called her:

"Young Mistress, Young Mistress?"

Ah San, who was guarding the door, heard the movement, and quickly pushed the door open: "What's the matter? Is the young mistress awake?!"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Xiaoxiao's ferocious and tense complexion gradually relaxed under Xiangxiang's call, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Wake up, wake up at last!"

Ah San was very excited.

But seeing Chu Xiaoxiao staring blankly at the ceiling, she didn't respond for a long time.

He froze for a moment, and called her softly:
"Young Mistress..."

"...Young Mistress?"

"Young grandma!"

In the end, he suddenly raised his voice, and Chu Xiaoxiao finally moved her eyeballs, and her gaze turned to him stiffly.

Ah San usually watched a lot of idol dramas, so she was a little worried at times like this.

He stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes;

"Young Mistress, how much is this?"

Xiangxiang: "..."

"Why don't you talk?" Ah San was a little anxious, and opened his palm closer to her eyes: "How much is this?"

Xiangxiang: "......It's alright, third brother! If you are told to watch less idol dramas, you will never listen to them! Didn't you see the disgust in the young lady's eyes?"

Ah San stretched her head and leaned over:

"Is there... Is there any dislike? How could the young mistress dislike... well, it seems that she really dislikes it."

"Hurry up and find Dr. Li!"

Seeing him go crazy with joy, Xiangxiang couldn't help reminding him.

Only then did Ah San come to her senses: "That's right! I'll call him now, and I'll call him now..."

Ah San ran out happily.

Not long after, Dr. Li brought a female doctor over with a medicine box, first took Chu Xiaoxiao's temperature, and said with a sigh of relief:
"The fever is finally gone."

Xiangxiang felt relieved when she heard the words: "It won't burn again, will it?"

"No way."

Dr. Li asked the female doctor to examine Chu Xiaoxiao again, prescribed some medicine, and said before leaving:

"Let the young lady eat some light porridge and side dishes in the next two or three days, and keep warm. After that, you can go out for activities and bask in the sun."

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Li."

"You're welcome."

After working hard, Xiangxiang asked the kitchen to prepare some porridge and vegetables, and fed them to Chu Xiaoxiao herself.

Chu Xiaoxiao sat on the bed with a back rest on her waist. Although she didn't speak, she ate well.

After a while after eating, some blood returned to her face.

Xiangxiang took down the dinner plate and bowls and spoons, and when she ran into Ah San on the way out, she couldn't help but worried:
"Third brother, is there something wrong with the young mistress? I haven't said a word until now, could it be..."

Ah San's expression changed: "Don't talk nonsense!"

But even though she said so, Ah San began to worry in her heart.

After all, he has watched countless dog-blooded idol dramas, or the kind of dog-blooded dramas that have amnesia, car accidents and cancer.

He was very worried in his heart, but he still forced a smile on his face and walked in;
"Young Mistress, how do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the ceiling without speaking.

"Young Mistress," Ah San tried to guide her to speak persuasively, "Is there anything you want to eat?"

Chu Xiaoxiao remained silent.

Ah San scratched her head, and finally took out her special move:

"Young Mistress, do you want to go to the bathroom? I'll ask Xiangxiang to help you."

This time, Chu Xiaoxiao finally spoke.

Instead of answering his words, she said, "I want to see him."

Because of sleeping for three days and three nights in a row, Chu Xiaoxiao's lips were chapped and her voice was hoarse, but that didn't prevent Ah San from hearing what she was saying immediately.

He is very happy: great!The young mistress didn't become dumb!
"Okay, okay," he smiled happily, showing his big white teeth, "It's about time for my grandfather to get up, so I'll call for my grandfather right now, and tell you, Young Mistress, that you want to see him!"

Ah San turned around and ran outside.

Just ran two steps, but suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped and turned to look at Chu Xiaoxiao, silently, said:
"Young Mistress, it was Grandpa who brought you back that day, and he never let go of you while holding you all the way. No one is allowed to touch you."

"You had a fever and fell asleep for three days and three nights, and my master stayed up with you for three days. It was only after I persuaded you so much that I went to sleep in the early morning."

"Young Mistress..."

He was choked with sobs and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he moved his lips, but he still didn't say anything.

Chu Xiaoxiao remained silent.

Ah San glanced at her again, seeing that she was silent, she went out dejectedly.

……

Because of staying up all night, Li Jing slept very deeply this time.

Before Ah San called him, he was still in a deep sleep. This time, Ah San just called out twice, and he woke up immediately as if he had something in his heart.

The first thing he said when he woke up was to ask Ah San:

"Is she awake?"

Ah San looked at his eyes that were black and bloodshot due to staying up late, and nodded in distress:
"Wake up, young mistress said she wanted to see you."

When the person on the bed heard this, his eyes overflowed with surprise, he turned over and got up from the bed almost immediately, put on some clothes, coughed non-stop, and walked quickly to the next door.

Ah San hurriedly took a thick coat and chased after him:
"Master, please slow down, wear this, don't freeze..."

Ah San chased to the next door, and then put on the clothes for Li Jing.

"you're awake."

Looking at the person on the bed who opened his eyes, he came forward with a smile on his face, coughing softly.

Ah San wisely and silently exited the room.

He took her hand.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't withdraw her hand.

She just looked at him like that, and seemed to have a thousand words to say, but she didn't know where to start.

Li Jing looked at her pale and weak face, feeling pain in his heart one after another, the palm of his holding her hand tightened slightly:
"Xiaoxiao, my mother...I'm sorry for her."

"sorry."

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at him, her mouth moved.

Li Jing was slightly taken aback: "What do you want to say?"

He bent down and lowered his head to get closer to her, and then, hearing the words Chu Xiaoxiao struggled to utter, his complexion completely darkened...

He heard her say:
"Shall we separate? I really... really don't want to live anymore."

This sentence was something that Chu Xiaoxiao had mustered up all her courage to force herself to say after going through so many things and consecutive nightmares.

After finishing speaking, although my heart was sad, there was a feeling of relief after the dust settled.

She didn't expect Li Jing to answer her.

Or, she didn't have any hope for his answer at all.

Sure enough, after she finished saying this, Li Jing held her hand for a long time without saying a word.

Time is tormenting every minute and every second, the quiet air can be heard, and the cold wind blows outside the window, which makes people feel completely cold in their hearts.

Chu Xiaoxiao only felt that a century had passed so long, Li Jing finally raised his hand and touched her head:
"Let's rest first."

He coughed twice and stood up from his chair:

"I'll see you again when you wake up."

Before Chu Xiaoxiao could speak, he turned and walked out of the room, closing the door gently.

The moment the door closed, Chu Xiaoxiao pulled up the quilt to cover her face...

……

In the evening, Li Jing knocked on the door again and came in.

This time he held a dinner plate in his hand and called Chu Xiaoxiao, "Get up and eat something."

Chu Xiaoxiao quietly looked at his expression and eyes, but saw that his expression was normal, as if she hadn't said those words at all this morning.
