Interlude

#Xiao Lingxi POV's

...

Pat!

Pat!

Pat!

"Father! "I exclaimed when I saw the figure of the white-haired old man who came.

"Hm? You look so excited, Xi'er. Do you have something who makes you so happy like this? "He patted my head and stroked my hair gently.

A smile formed on his wrinkled face,

'He looks older since the death of the big brother.'

I'm also sad to remember it again,

"Hoo, why are you suddenly saddened? Come on ... Smile ... " Father's pulled my chubby cheeks while trying to cheer me up.

" Father ... Don't treat me like a child all the time, Little Che will laugh at me if he knows!"

I snorted in annoyance but he only laughed when removing the pinch from my cheek.

" Where is Little Che? He hasn't returned yet? "

" Not yet, he still has something with his ex-wife." I feel uncomfortable just thinking that my Little Che is with that girl.

They got divorced, right? We both knew it, but there was a little misgiving in my heart and it made me feel insecure.

There's no way he will come back to that girl, right?

Moreover, she's prettier and more talented than me ...

No! They both clearly don't have feelings for each other.

I just shook my head as I threw away all those disturbing thoughts.

Besides, he proposed to me while in the flower garden ...

Hehe ... he definitely won't leave me like that.

"I'm back ..." the voice of a young man came from outside.

Ah there he is ...! He has come back...

I stood and ran as fast as I could towards the door,

"Welcome back, Little Che! "

"I'm home ... Err little aunt ..."

He let go of my arms stiffly when I was a little confused.

"Ah ... your cultivation! You are no longer crippled, Little Che! " I exclaim happily when I feel the power radiated from him.

That is good! My thought at that time.

"Well ... This is thanks to Xia Qingyue. He gave me a 'pellet' that was able to repair damaged Profound Veins like what I experienced. " He said while scratching the back of his head while avoiding my gaze.

Why is his attitude so strange?

"That's good right? Why do you look has a troublesome? "Out of curiosity, I asked him.

"I ..."

After taking a deep breath, he looked at me seriously.

I do not like this...

I feel something bad will happen.

"I feel I have fallen in love with her. "He looked down apologetically.

I, who still can't process Little Che's words properly, can only make an 'Eh' sound

In love with her?

With Xia Qingyue?

"Wh- what does that mean Little Che? You're just kidding right? "

I let go of my grip on his clothes when asking with a little anxiety.

"I have truly fallen in love with Xia Qingyue! "This time his clear words made me paler.

Hadn't he promised me that we would be together just 'the two of us'?

Why is it now like this ...

It hurts so much when the promise he gave me can be broken easily ...

Only overnight!

" She came to me with a 'pellet' that was able to cure my helplessness all this time ..."

"I admit that she did look very pretty before ..."

"Even so, I don't have feelings for her ... I'm sure of it ..."

"But it was different when I saw her again after day..."

He smiled like someone who had been so deeply in love,

My heart feels more painful seeing that,

He never even looked at me like that ...

"She is like a goddess, she is so luminous ..."

"With the 'treasure' she gave me as light to come out of my cripples, my heart was beating so fast at that time ..."

"I was so fascinated that I even didn't realize when she was gone ..."

"I realized that as soon as I managed to rebuild the wrecked profound veins in me ..."

"That my heart has been stolen by her, I have fallen in love with her!"

He put out all his love words in front of me like that,

Crack.

I felt something had cracked inside of me.

"Then ... I ...? "

I said while holding back the tears that threatened to come out of my eyes ...

"I love you too, aunt ... But, I have decided to follow her path."

He said a little look away before continuing,

"I will take the path of the cultivator who is cruel to become stronger, with this talent of mine ... I'm sure. I can definitely chase after her! "

He made a fist with determination as he turned his gaze to me later.

" But is, I'm afraid that you will be in danger if you follow me ... So ..."

"Are you going to leave me? "I said blankly to him.

" Not like that... "

"Can't I stay by your side? "

I looked down when I felt something hot coming out of my eyes.

"I'm willing to share my love with her, I just want to stay by your side ... That's all!"

"Is that can't be able?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you properly, auntie ..."

"I'll take care of myself! I will also try hard to cultivate after you ...! "I shouted loudly when I looked at him with the same determination, but ...

"That's impossible, aunt ..." He just shook his head,

Why? Why? Why?

Is it because of my talent that is lower?

Will you see me as an obstacle?

You haven't even seen how hard I'll try ...

So why did you conclude so quickly?

Am I not worthy to fight for my love?

"Nee ... Say, Little Che ... Do you really love me?"

No answer.

Oh, I see...

When I saw the confusion between his eyes, I finally realized.

"I love you aunt ..."

That's not what I want to hear with that look...

Has my struggle been in vain all the time?

All I want is a little space left for my existence in his heart ...

"Go ..." I spoke weakly.

"Auntie ... I-"

"Go away! Forget me forever! "

I saw the pale expression on his face, but I didn't care anymore ...

"I will only become an 'obstacle' if I keep following you."

He looked down silently,

So I'm true again ...

"If you want to make me wait ... That's impossible! Maybe I already became an old woman, and I'm sure you won't even glance at me at that time. "

"How could I possibly ignore you !?" He said that when he was to reach me then, but I only took a few steps back to avoid him.

"Don't touch me! I don't want anything to do with you anymore, so hurry up and leave and don't come back again."

"You! "His face turned red from anger ...

Oh, is he angry?

"Tsk, I've been so gentle to persuade you, but you've been act becoming so proud now? "The tone of his voice changed, it sounded without any regret as before.

I furrowed my brow at the sudden change of him.

"Just so you know Xiao Lingxi! I'm not the Little Che who you known before. With my cripples get healed, my future has changed, I will definitely become a 'powerhouse' in the future! "

He said proudly as he spread his hands.

"It's good enough that I will make you one of my women, but your actions are so annoying that it makes me change my mind."

My eyes widened when such words came out of his mouth.

Who is he?

How could my Little Che spit out words like that to me?

" What? Surprised? I acted softly before because I was very weak. But now, it's different! I have the power to act arrogant! " He smiled with pride as if he was the strongest.

"Actually I was very happy when I found out that I was going to marry a dream woman like Xia Qingyue, but with my paralysis... It only became a memory without pleasure now ..."

He said irritably.

"But now, I might be able to make it happen ..."

He grinned with a flash of lust that had crossed in his eyes but quickly disappeared.

But She saw that clearly.

" With my talent, only women like Xia Qingyue are suitable to be my partner ... Do you understand what I mean?" He whispered in my ear as I stood like a statue.

Placing all my remaining strength ... I pushed him away.

"Go away! "Only one word that came out of me.

Pyar!

Something that was cracked that I had been holding all this time so it wouldn't be break finally broke into pieces.

He smiled mockingly as he disappeared from my sight.

Cough!

I knelt down when coughing up blood coming out of my mouth.

"Sigh ..."

Sighs sounded from behind me ...

When I turned around, I saw father's shaking his head in disappointment.

"Father, I ..." I got up, running while holding her tight.

"Ouch ... Don't be so sad, Xi'er! I also didn't think he would become like that ... "

Stroking my hair, Father became looks older than before.

"But Little Che is he ..."

"He has been blinded by greed, greed for power has blinded his love."

"Can we resuscitate him? "

I bit my lip when Dad just shook his head. "Seeing how quickly he changes only proves that his determination is too weak, and that will only get worse in the future."

"You will find someone who is more suitable for you someday, that kind of man is definitely not the destiny for my sweet daughter." He wiped the rest of my tears when he said.

" But I..."

"Think about my words calmly, I'm sure you will understand them ..."

He left after saying that ...

I can hear a sound of coughing coming from inside...

I bit my lips harder until bleeds.

My feet stepped out by themselves, somewhere...

I only walked when I felt the pain that was still piercing my chest cruelly.

Why is everything being like this?

All of Little Che's words still buzz in my head like bees that sting mercilessly.

Moreover, Father's suggestion also made me even more confused,

No doubt I still love him very much,

But there is a part of me that begins to hate him,

I thought of my father's words again, but in the end it was only the shake of my head that I did.

"Xiao Che ..."

Without realizing it, I had reached the edge of the abyss when muttering his name ...

Maybe if I fall there, all these feelings will disappear?

...

"Is the Xiao Che you mentioned is on under there?"

A man's voice wakes up my daydream.
