The hands of the clock on the wall are ticking, the night is getting darker and darker, and the thick black outside is getting darker and darker.
He looked up at the clock, and his eyes suddenly fell on the 12 o'clock mark pointed by the hands.
It’s 12 o’clock in the middle of the night and I’m still not back!
Junzhe's gentle yet anxious eyes were full of helplessness and concern.
He turned on the light and sat at the table waiting, his hands on the table like fists. His usually easy-going face now revealed anxiety and anger.
The room was very quiet, and the sound of time could be heard quietly. Junzhe looked outside without closing his eyes for a moment.
Time always passes quickly in silence. When Junzhe glanced at the clock on the wall again, the shortest hand should have fallen between 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock.
1:45, still not back...
Junzhe's bright eyes darkened, his fists clenched a little more, and his teeth clenched unconsciously, Lan Ruge - did you fall into the hands of that man again? Was it because you had no choice or simply in your heart, you had already put him
Think of it as your destination? Looking out the window at the blackness that submerged everything and melted everything, Junzhe's bright eyes flashed across the sharp light that did not belong to his character, and his heart felt as painful as being scratched by a knife.
Suddenly, Junzhe's shoulders were gently held by a pair of hands. The sudden contact made Junzhe look back instinctively and alertly.
When I turned around, I saw the kind face of Qu’s mother that she had hidden for many years.
Since the death of Junzhe's father, Junzhe's mother, Xiao Xi, has become carefree and behaves like a man. There is no gentle side at all, which does not allow Junzhe to enjoy the most tender and silky maternal love.
God knows, she was trying her best to disguise herself, make herself stronger, protect her son, and prevent others from bullying her. Her husband is no longer here, and from now on she will have to shoulder all responsibilities.
She did not find a stepfather for Junzhe because she knew that since ancient times, several children could be happy in a reorganized family.
Junzhe is still young, only 10 years old. He is already very sensitive to human emotions at the age of 10. She can't add an unbearable stranger to Junzhe's heart when he needs love the most. So she must support a stranger on her own.
Home.
Junzhe was a little surprised when he saw the rare tenderness on his mother's face, "Mom..."
Qu's mother smiled kindly, "Junzhe..." She sat down, picked up Junzhe's hand and held it in hers. Her voice was filled with loving warmth, "I'm still waiting for her."
Junzhe was stunned for a moment, looking at his only relative in this world in front of him, and looking at the traces of aging on her face that had been tempered by time, Junzhe's heart suddenly softened, and he nodded without denying, "Yes...
I'm waiting for them to come back..."
"You also know that Ru Ge will definitely bring Xi Hua back?" Qu's mother looked at Junzhe.
At that moment, Junzhe's heart moved, and he felt pain. He looked away from his mother's eyes, fearing that she would find the pain in his eyes.
"Junzhe, mother knows that over the years, mother has made you suffer a lot and has not given you the best care. Ruge is a good girl, gentle and considerate, with the most beautiful and pure warmth in the world, including all the tenderness of a woman.
One side." Qu's mother's long voice sounded far away.
Junzhe lowered his head.
"But do you know? The more a girl is like this, the more likely she is to get hurt, because when she completely believes in the world and is completely defenseless, there must be someone around her who will always be around her and protect her. Jun
Zhe, I know you want and unswervingly want to stay by her side forever." Qu's mother sighed softly.
"It's been 12 years. You've done enough. Now her life has taken a different trajectory, destined to deviate from you. Even if you still want to reach out and catch her, you have tried your best to catch her.
She, but you can't reach the track she is on no matter what, because there is a person on the track she is traveling on who is more capable to make her go on well. So why should we interfere with her life.
"Qu's mother looked at her son's gloomy face with distress, and at the blue and red wounds on his face. The pain was overwhelming. What mother doesn't love her son?
Junzhe rested his elbows on the table, buried his head between his arms, scratched the hair on his forehead with his fingers, and raised his head, "Mom...actually..."
"Let go, Junzhe, let go... You know she won't be wronged by President Xue..." President Xue has a huge fortune, and he will give Ru Ge the best protection, Qu's mother thought, because she never knew
What kind of life is Ru Ge living in the Xue family?
If her son continues to be so infatuated, it will eventually make several people suffer. She doesn't want to see her son wandering around all day long, like a zombie.
Junzhe paused and looked at his mother, looking at her eager and expectant eyes. His heart hurt. It turned out that even his mother thought he was useless. It turned out that even his own mother thought that he was not capable of possessing Ruge. Everything.
It's all because he is a poor man with no money and no power!
Junzhe's heart felt like being stabbed by thousands of needles. His body was shaking unconsciously from the pain, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked away and took a breath of hot air, "I understand, Mom, go to sleep."
"After that, he stood up and walked towards his room.
Looking at Junzhe's back immersed in pain, Qu's mother shook her head helplessly, sighed, and decided that giving up was a painful thing. Son, just be patient and let it pass.
Sleeping in the Xue family's small room, Ruge tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. She was worried about too many things, and everything made it difficult for her to close her eyes.
She was most worried about what happened to Shihua. Did that man save her? What about Ruan Mo and Li Weitong, she hurt them, are they okay? And Junzhe, he must still be waiting for her to go back and make a good deal with her.
She will not come to see Xue Shao. She promised that she would go back. Things in the world are confusing, but she once again broke her promise to him. She hurt Junzhe the most, and the one she was most sorry for was Junzhe, but she had no choice... Really
There is no way...
This night is so long that it makes people feel that one life has passed and tomorrow is the beginning of the next one.
After finally waiting until dawn, Ru Ge got up early and knocked on Xue Shao's door.
The door opened just after knocking. Xue Shao's slender and tall figure fell into Ru Ge's eyes. He was startled subconsciously. His hair was still smooth and his face was tired from the night before. Ru Ge was surprised to find that he... also spent the night.
Didn't sleep...why?
"Is something wrong?" Xue Shao frowned, his thin lips parted slightly, and his deep and gorgeous voice was extremely tempting.
Ru Ge immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at him, "I...I want to go back and look at the painting."
"You want me to take you there?" Suddenly, the man's innocent questioning voice sounded.
Ru Ge subconsciously opened her eyes and looked up at him. What he meant was that Shi Hua was fine! She could go back to see her! What a surprise. Ru Ge quickly came back to his senses and waved anxiously, "No need."
No, no need, I can just go back by myself..."
Xue Shao glanced at her, walked past her, stopped again, turned back, approached Ruge's face and grabbed her clear glasses, his seductive and cool voice was seductive and oppressive, "Night, five hours, get ready.
