Chapter 273 I Want to Take You away
Facing Xia Xiaoluo, Ling Tianyi hid his pride, or let’s say he did not even have any pride anymore. He just begged Xia Xiaoluo to stay with him alone for an hour. All he wanted was to chat with her.
Biting her lips, Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know what to do. Though she still loved Ling Tianyi very much, she could not forget what happened before.
“I want to stay with you for only one hour, just accompany me, OK?” Ling Tianyi begged Xia Xiaoluo again.
Xia Xiaoluo looked at Ling Tianyi, he frowned slightly. He was sincere and gentle, totally different from the aggressive person he used to be.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t say anything, but she didn’t ask Ling Tianyi to leave either. Ling Tianyi knew Xia Xiaoluo, it meant that she acquiesced.
At noon, Ling Tianyi bought some milk powder that Xia Xiaoluo liked. So he took some water from the water dispenser and mixed it with the milk powder for Xia Xiaoluo. “Have some milk!”
“Thank you!” Xia Xiaoluo took it to warm her hands.
Ling Tianyi sighed secretly, because he thought what Xia Xiaoluo said was just in a polite manner. After doing some small things for her, Ling Tianyi hoped that she would respond to him delightedly and intimately by saying “Darling, you are so nice!”.
Xia Xiaoluo suddenly realized that Ling Tianyi didn’t eat or drink anything, so she stood up and said, “I will bring some water for you!”
“It’s OK. I’m not thirsty. Just have a rest.” Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to have a seat, “Just sit down and talk with me.”
“What do you want to talk about?” Xia Xiaoluo asked. She felt embarrassed, because she did not know what to say.
Xia Xiaoluo sat beside Ling Tianyi, but Ling Tianyi didn’t flirt with her as before.
Ling Tianyi thought about how to talk with Xia Xiaoluo. He really wanted to talk about the misunderstanding, but he had explained it to her many times. What was more, Xia Xiaoluo was always depressed when they talked about it. Ling Tianyi also wanted to speak about love and sweet words to her, but he was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would become more stressed and nervous.
Finally, Ling Tianyi smiled reluctantly and asked Xia Xiaoluo a question, “I am wondering why you can make so many delicious dishes. Where did you learn it?”
Xia Xiaoluo was stunned at the beginning, because she didn’t expect that Ling Tianyi would ask her this question. But she could accept it because it was easy to answer. However, she didn’t know, before asking that question, Ling Tianyi had thought it over and finally decided to adjust the atmosphere by asking her this question.
“I like the dishes made by you personally very much, but I’m afraid that cooking for me will make you tired.” Ling Tianyi sighed and smiled with a smile, “Why the dishes you make are so delicious, can you tell me?”
Ling Tianyi knew that Xia Xiaoluo would be delighted and proud when she was praised.
As he expected, Xia Xiaoluo started talking about it continuously, “Of course! I’m talented at cooking!”
“I think so! I want to tell you a secret. I like the dishes you make most! Even those chefs in five-star restaurants and the excellent chefs from abroad can’t compare with you! I didn’t tell you about it for fear that you would be proud. But you are really talented at cooking!” Ling Tianyi continued flattering Xia Xiaoluo because he knew that she liked it very much.
“You know, I had a hard childhood. My stepmother and my sister treated me badly, they often bullied me. What was more, my father disliked me either, so he just left me alone. When I was young, I had to look for food on my own when I was hungry, because they didn’t offer me any food. In addition, as a foodie, I liked delicious food very much at that time.” Xia Xiaoluo smiled bitterly when recalling her unhappy childhood,
“I shouldn’t have mentioned it.” Ling Tianyi regretted and shook his head. He always felt distressed when Xia Xiaoluo talked about her childhood. He didn’t want Xia Xiaoluo to mention it because she would be depressed and painful.
“It doesn’t matter! Anyway, it helped me a lot! If my parents had treated me well and taken good care of me at that time, I wouldn’t be capable of anything now! Although I’m not smart enough, I can live on my own. So I can live on regardless of how harsh the environment is.” Xia Xiaoluo said. She wanted to tell Ling Tianyi that she was strong and brave enough to live on her own, she was not a fragile girl he thought.
“Of course you can! I believe you! However, I hope that you can live a happy life! I want to take care of you and protect you!” Ling Tianyi said.
Xia Xiaoluo lowered her head and kept silent after she heard Ling Tianyi’s words, she did not answer him. Although Ling Tianyi knew that he should not say it, he couldn’t help saying, “Even though you lived a hard life before and you know the basic living techniques like cooking and washing, you are not experienced and are easy to be cheated. I’m worried about you, so I want to be your boyfriend to protect you, OK?”.
Being afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would refuse him, Ling Tianyi looked at Xia Xiaoluo, looking forward to her reply.
But Xia Xiaoluo just kept silent…
It was embarrassing because Xia Xiaoluo did not say anything. So after half a minute, Ling Tianyi said, “It doesn’t matter. I will keep wooing you now that you don’t accept me. I believe that you will fall in love with me because I’m so excellent. Maybe you love me all the time, but you can’t forgive me due to what happened before. Anyway, I will show you my love, waiting for your loving me!”
“However, to be frank, I’m anxious.” Ling Tianyi said with self-deprecating, “There are too many boys are around you. Three boys have expressed their love to you today. There must be many other boys who fancy you secretly. So I’m really stressed!”
“Me, too!” Xia Xiaoluo said helplessly.
“Really? You must be delighted to see it! Many boys are flattering you!” Ling Tianyi was jealous, but he tried his best to suppress his jealousy for fear that he would annoy Xia Xiaoluo.
“I don’t like Fang Ruichen no matter what he does for me. Maybe it’s because of our different characteristics!” Xia Xiaoluo answered.
Being satisfied, Ling Tianyi nodded, but he was still jealous, “You must like Chu Tong and Ouyang Ziqian!”
“No! I don’t like them either.” Xia Xiaoluo denied it at once. It seemed that she didn’t want Ling Tianyi to misunderstand her, which made Ling Tianyi relieved.
“Alas! Chu Tong treated me well and left me a good impression at the beginning. However, I thought about it after you told me that he did something evil to separate us deliberately. I hate that kind of people, so I will never accept him! It’s impossible for us to be lovers!” Though they pretended to be lovers before, Xia Xiaoluo never took that seriously.
“What about Ouyang Ziqian?” Ling Tianyi continued asking.
“Ouyang Ziqian is very nice, he is a perfect man.” Xia Xiaoluo answered. Ling Tianyi was shocked, trying hard to control his emotions all the time.
Then Xia Xiaoluo continued, “However, he is a perfect man like a god, so I can only stay far away from him. He sent a message to me to express his love today, but I know that I only admire and respect him. I don’t love him.”
Xia Xiaoluo said directly that she didn’t love Ouyang Ziqian, but Ling Tianyi still couldn’t accept the fact that his wife admired and respected another man. Even though it was not love, Ling Tianyi was still irritated and jealous.
Xia Xiaoluo seemed to realize that Ling Tianyi was unhappy. In the past, she dared not to say these words to Ling Tianyi, but she dared to say it frankly because their relationship was different and special now.
However, Xia Xiaoluo felt frightened instinctively when she saw that Ling Tianyi became irritated.
Seeing the fear in Xia Xiaoluo’s eyes again, Ling Tianyi felt upset and distressed, “Ouyang Ziqian has never made you frightened, right?”
“Yes! Ouyang Senior is always warm like the sunshine, making people comfortable.” Xia Xiaoluo told Ling Tianyi the truth even though she was a little frightened, because she did not want to tell a lie.
“If he woos you, you will accept him, right?” Ling Tianyi asked the question which he was afraid to know the answer.
“No, I won’t!” Xia Xiaoluo denied firmly, “He is a god, maybe Appolo because he is warm, but I don’t like him.”
“Whom do you like?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“I like you!” Xia Xiaoluo was frank and honest.
Ling Tianyi almost burst into tears out of excitement. He took Xia Xiaoluo’s hands. “What makes you like me?”
“Every time when I was in trouble, you would always save me at once and take care of me in the hospital.” Xia Xiaoluo answered, “What’s more, you did many other things for me!”
“Well! I want to know something in detail!” Ling Tianyi wanted to get more praise from Xia Xiaoluo, he wanted to know more.
“For example, you made many surprises and prepared many romantic things for me!” Xia Xiaoluo said. She knew that Ling Tianyi always treated her well and she loved him very much even though she was always afraid of him when he got furious.
“To be honest, you asked me to take more things with me when I left our home. At that time, I really wanted to take one thing with me, but I didn’t take it.” Xia Xiaoluo said, feeling regretful.
“What? What do you need? I can go home to fetch it for you! I don’t want you to leave me! Go home with me and be my wife! I love you more than anybody else and I can do anything for you!” Ling Tianyi expressed his love to Xia Xiaoluo again.
“I was wondering if I could bring my husband with me at that time.” Xia Xiaoluo said, “But what a pity! You are not my husband anymore. What’s more, even if you are still my husband, you won’t be willing to live a common life with me because you only want me to live a rich life with you. Therefore, even though I want you to leave with me, you won’t follow me!”
“No! I’m willing to follow you if you are willing to take me, no matter where you will go! I have followed you since you returned to school yesterday. If you agree with me, I will ask the school to arrange another dormitory for Luo Xixi! From now on, I will become your roommate!” Ling Tianyi couldn’t wait to show his sincerity. He was willing to follow Xia Xiaoluo wherever she went as long as she could accept him, he was willing to stay with her.
“You are not a student at Dwichen’s College, so don’t do that! You always did something unreasonable because of your identity and status, but I don’t like it at all. So don’t do that anymore!” Xia Xiaoluo stopped Ling Tianyi immediately because she knew him well, Ling Tianyi would do this kind of thing if he wanted.
“Well, but I won’t leave the school because I have to accompany you and protect you. What’s more, you said that you wanted to take me with you. I will never leave you because I’m reluctant to leave you!” Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo’s hands and kissed her hands gently. What Xia Xiaoluo said to him just now was very important to him.
