C261 (2/2)

Lowering my head to take a sip of coffee, I let the bitterness slowly seep into my heart before saying softly, ”I remember our meeting. I had a sprained foot and almost fell. You held me and cured my foot. That's how we met. I thought you said your name was Rick. I'll tell you my name is Xia Xinxin. ”

Rick laughed in relief. ”Yes! You owe me a dance. You're like Cinderella, in the middle of the day. When the bell rang, I could no longer find you! I was just dragged by a friend to have a drink, and when I came back I couldn't find you anywhere in the hall. After that, I asked people about you, but no one knew you. You're not on the guest list, either. I think you deliberately twisted your ankle that day, didn't you? You just want to find a man with an invitation to take you in, right? ”

When he thought of her that day, how beautiful she had been, how charming and crafty she had been, and how there had truly been such an obvious difference when compared to the current her.

What had brought her here?

Must have been something terrible, right?

Some people didn't want to see her. Living far away outside, that's why she was forced to come here, right?

The doctor treated her every day with electricity, and it was more likely that the people who had sent her here had stuffed the money in and asked them to do so.

This was because doing so every day would completely destroy a person!

He had encountered this kind of thing in mental hospitals abroad.

Many people were clearly very sane, but because of various reasons, they were imprisoned inside. In the end, they really became insane and would never be able to leave the hospital for the rest of their lives.

He could not help but feel a pang for her at the thought of her ordeal.

Xia Xinxin giggled lightly and nodded honestly. ”That's right!” I also had a problem and needed to go in there to find someone, but I didn't have an invitation, so I had to pretend to fall down in front of you. However, my foot was truly twisted, and the pain was not a feint. ”

”I know.” Rick nodded.

Xia Xinxin reached out a hand to rub her hurting brow, sighing, ”I really didn't think we'd meet again.”

Rick reached out and gently took her hand. ”Perhaps fate has arranged everything. You and I are destined to meet.”

Xia Xinxin nodded, her eyes falling on their clasped hands.

Rick chuckled, took his hand away quietly, and took a sip of his coffee.

He had been thinking about her, subconsciously hoping that they would meet again.

Now, she was right in front of him, appearing so pitifully weak that he could approach her in private.

But he didn't want to be so obscene. This was because he felt that it was a blasphemy to his feelings, as well as a blasphemy to her.

If, in the course of their relationship, she fell in love with him, he would be happy, he would protect him.

However, if he didn't, then he was only willing to be friends with her. He wanted to be a friend that she could rely on in order to be at ease.

He had held her hand just now in order to give her strength and warmth as support. He didn't have any bad intentions.

He also didn't want her to misunderstand and make her afraid to stay away.

Xia Xinxin, on the other hand, didn't give him a second thought. Her eyes had only unconsciously rested on their clasped hands.

She was thinking about where to start.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to start from the beginning, because all of this was due to the deception Xiao Bo Yao had placed on her.

She took another sip of her coffee, moistened her throat, and then began slowly to tell Rick her incredible story.

The story was so long and the process so arduous that she had to stop in the middle of the journey to stabilize her emotions before she could speak again.

It took them nearly three hours to get the story straight with Rick.

Of course, she left out a lot of details about her relationship with Mo Zixiao.

Rick was so shocked he didn't say anything for a long time.

He really did not expect so many terrifying things to happen to this beautiful girl in front of him!

Seeing her indifferent expression, he felt even more heartache from the bottom of his heart because she liked him.

She was kind, sincere, and passionate. She didn't flinch even in the face of all sorts of difficulties.

Seeing him stay silent for a long time, Xia Xinxin's face was full of sympathy and sadness, so she said with a relaxed smile, ”Ever since I entered here, no one has spoken to me. I've been feeling wronged, angry, and desperate, all sorts of negative emotions are deeply hidden in my heart. ”As it turned out, speaking without reservation was really very important.

Rick didn't feel any relief. He stood up, walked to the window and stood there, looking out at the guards at the gate and the high wall. He frowned deeply.

Xia Xinxin's mind was sharp, and she immediately understood what he was thinking. She immediately shook her head and said, ”Don't try to help me escape.” I tried once, but it didn't work, and they found a way to torture me. I don't want to live in the dark anymore, and I don't want to involve you in it either. ”

Rick shook his head. ”There must be a way!”
