Huo Jingchen hugged her tightly, his heart filled with pain.
He used to think that as long as he could keep her by his side, he could ignore whether she loved him or hated him.
But looking at her now, he felt that he could not ignore her.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Siqing raised her hand and gently stroked his hair, saying softly, "I'm fine. "
Perhaps it was because she had not spoken for too long, Zhao Siqing's voice was a little hoarse.
Huo Jingchen's body stiffened a little. He slowly raised his head and looked at her with a misty gaze. "Qingqing... "
Zhao Siqing smiled gently at him. Her empty eyes finally had some focus, and his shadow was reflected in her dark pupils.
Looking at the man with bloodshot eyes in front of her, Zhao Siqing looked at him and said softly, "you're crying. "
Huo Jingchen's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he slowly said, "No. "
Zhao Siqing gently tugged at the corner of her lips and smiled. "crybaby. "
Huo Jingchen looked at her without saying a word, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Zhao Siqing closed her eyes and hugged him back gently.
Yang Jingqiu was right. She knew everything.
She knew everything. But sometimes, just because she knew something didn't mean that she could pretend that nothing had happened.
She just felt that the world was noisy and filled with the sinister laughter of the bad guys.
She was still a little scared. The memory of that day sent chills down her spine.
She felt very sad too. She was saddened by Xiaoxi's pain and despair back then.
She knew that she was sick, but it seemed that she couldn't cure herself. It wasn't that she couldn't see Huo Jingchen, who had always been by her side and was getting more and more irritable towards others, but was always so patient with her It was not that she could not see Nalan Yanran and Zhao Yancheng, who came here every day.
She knew that there were still many people who loved her in this world, but she suddenly wanted to continue being willful, living like a walking corpse. She did not need to think or do anything. From then on, the happiness and pain of this world would no longer have anything to do with her.
However, Yang Jingqiu was right. Everyone's life would be filled with ups and downs. One could only choose to walk out on their own, or escape forever.
Zhao Siqing leaned into Huo Jingchen's arms and said softly, "am I very bad? "
Huo Jingchen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "so bad that I want to beat you up. "
Zhao Siqing smiled and asked softly, "am I not your little cutie? "
Huo Jingchen's eyes were sour. He smiled and said, "yes, forever. "
*
After that day, Zhao Siqing was gradually recovering. Huo Jingchen still kept a close watch on her, afraid that she would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
Other than her appetite still not very good and her words still not enough, Zhao Siqing did not look too different from before.
Huo Jingchen, on the other hand, had the kitchen prepare a variety of dishes every day, all he wanted to do was to make up for her lost meat.
Not long after, the campus rape case from six years ago began, and Song Huaijin's victory was assured.
Two important witnesses from that year were found, and even the drug dealer from that year was dragged out of jail by Jiang Jingming.
Because there was enough evidence, Zhao Siqing did not have to testify in court.
However, she insisted on testifying in court, so huo Jingchen let her go.
On the day of the court session, there were many wealthy and influential people seated below the stage. Most of them were the parents of the six men, waiting for the verdict with grim expressions.
To Zhao Siqing's surprise, Gu Shiyu's family also came, except for Gu Anhui.
She didn't have a good impression of the Gu family. She only glanced at them coldly and then looked away. For a moment, she couldn't figure out why they came.
