C612 I Remember Everything I Promised You
"I remember what I promised you. Pei Nanjue, don't be childish, okay? "My heart is in a mess right now. I don't want to argue with you over these things." For the first time, Chu Jiaxuan felt that Pei Nanjue was really unreasonable and very distressed. Sometimes, adults were harder to coax than children.1
"All you need to do now is to take good care of your body. Junchi is in such a state right now. I can't possibly leave him alone." Chu Jiaxuan told him what she was thinking. Gong Junchi needed her more than Pei Nanjue.
Pei Nanjue was silent. He could not find any reason to refute her. Chu Jiaxuan was right. He knew he should not let Chu Jiaxuan worry at this time, but he could not control his emotions. He had a feeling of defeat and powerlessness.
"Have you eaten?" Pei Nanjue wanted to calm each other down, so he changed the topic stiffly.
Chu Jiaxuan shook her head. She had no appetite at all and did not want to eat anything.
"If you can't eat like this, you will be the one to fall." Pei Nanjue asked with concern.
Chu Jiaxuan was surprised by Pei Nanjue's sudden change in attitude. Since he did not want to let go of the matter, she would not bring it up again. This was a good thing for both of them. She simply followed Pei Nanjue's words.
"Lee Hao, bring Miss Chu to dinner." Pei Nanjue opened his mouth and called Lee Hao in.
"Yes," Pei Nanjue said. Lee Hao nodded respectfully.
"I'm not hungry."
"I'm hungry, and I didn't eat either. When you come back later, pack a serving for me." Pei Nanjue spoke domineeringly, looking straight at her.
How could she go on like this? When they were done, she would fall. Then what should we do?
Chu Jiaxuan heard that Pei Nanjue had not eaten yet. After thinking for a while, she nodded and walked out of ward with Lee Hao.
"Miss Chu, are you not feeling well?" Lee Hao walked beside Chu Jiaxuan and looked at her pale face and asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Chu Jiaxuan replied with a smile. She should quickly eat some and go back. She did not know if Gong Junchi was awake.
After Chu Jiaxuan had eaten her fill, she brought some plain porridge to Pei Nanjue. Because the doctor had specifically instructed him, Pei Nanjue could only eat some light food.
After Chu Jiaxuan and Lee Hao left, Pei Nanjue looked at the scenery outside the window.
Outside the window, the setting sun had slowly set and the sky had started to turn gray. The winter in A City seemed to be warmer than in the past.
It had been a long time since he had such a leisurely time. All his time in the room had been poured into his work.
Every day, apart from work, he still worked. Sometimes, he even slept in his office. Busy and fulfilling days could take away most of his thoughts.
However, whenever he calmed down, he would always think of Chu Jiaxuan and the bits and pieces of the past.
Life could not be restarted. Pei Nanjue happened in a dead end and he could not get out. He could not face the past calmly.
When the night was quiet, he would ask himself. If he had cared more about Chu Jiaxuan back then, he would not have been so powerful and selfish. He was willing to spend some time to see her. Would it not have become like this between them now?
As long as he thought that Chu Jiaxuan had forgiven him, he felt as if he had been in a dream. He originally thought that she would never forgive him for the rest of her life.
To him, Chu Jiaxuan's forgiveness was like a ray of light in the darkness, making him cherish it especially. He was afraid that if something went wrong, the light that had been lit up with great difficulty would be extinguished.
