Chapter 864 - Fell For You (1/2)

This night was bound to be restless for some people but unexpectedly, it became torture for Han Bohai instead. He thought he'd be able to set free his restlessness after clearing up everything with Xiu. And he indeed felt great just thinking about his Sister Xiu.

Whether it was her rebirth, her new family, her husband, or the unborn child. Everything made Han Bohai feel especially grateful towards the higher power who gave his sister Xiu another chance. He had always wished for her happiness and now that he could see her genuine happiness, he couldn't be feeling more elated. No one knew just how much it meant to him.

Everyone around him usually told him to forget about Chen Xiu. They told him to stop living in the regrets of the past but none of them understood that he just couldn't bring himself to forget anything related to Chen Xiu. She was more than just a sister to him. She made him who he was. Forgetting her was like forgetting that part of himself which he wasn't capable of doing.

And only now, he could live in peace knowing that his Sister Xiu got what she deserved.

However, Xiu had nothing to do with this torturous night he was experiencing currently. From the time, he came back to Ying's room, he was going crazy. He had intended to ask her about the bracelet but the said person never even showed up.

He tried calling her repeatedly but to no avail. It was as if Ying was hiding somewhere and he couldn't find her. And he definitely didn't like this feeling at all. He was pacing around in her room impatiently but even when the clock hit midnight, she was still nowhere to be seen.

With Han Bohai's overactive mind, he had come up with a thousand scenarios in his mind and not even one of those scenarios had a good ending. He was just that paranoid about his own luck.

”What's taking her so long?” he muttered to himself. ”Come back already!”

He had thought about asking other people in the house if anyone had any clue regarding Ying's whereabouts but he decided not to step up. It was too late and rarely anyone in this house would have a good sleep. Now that it seemed like everyone was resting tonight, he couldn't just go and ruin their peaceful night.

He constantly calmed himself with different positive words but it had little to no effect on him. Once he got stuck in the spiral of his whirlwind thoughts, there was no way out unless Ying appeared before his eyes.

He leaned his back on the headboard as he closed his eyes to rest his mind for a while. He was hoping that once he wakes up, she'd be right before his eyes.

Finally, his prayers were answered when it was close to the break of dawn. The door opened and a lethargic person dragged her body's weight inside. Coming close to the bed, Ying looked at Han Bohai's tired look and couldn't look away. She had been the one wandering around, why did he look like he was having a hard time?

There were not only dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were obviously swollen as well. Did he cry? She thought to herself and frowned. But soon, her eyes fell on the bracelet that he held tightly in his hand and as if everything became clear to her. As clear as day.

Han Bohai shifted slightly and while doing so, his eyes fell on Ying's figure. Almost immediately he leaped to his feet and held her shoulders as he looked her up and down. Only after seeing that nothing seemed wrong with her did he felt relief wash down his senses. But almost instantly, his anger flared up, ”Where the hell have you been? Do you even know what time it is? Is this the time you're supposed to come home? Where is your sense of responsibility? If you had something important to do, you could have called me! If you didn't want to bother, at least, you shouldn't have turned your phone off! Half of my life is drained thinking about what could have gone wrong!”

Seeing him acting like this, Ying's lips curved up slightly.

Han Bohai noticed that and his anger burned like a volcano now, ”Is this funny to you? My worry seems funny? Am I a joke? Or maybe I am a joke to you since you don't even want to take me seriously! You don't even wanna realize someone is waiting for you at home. Someone might be worried about you!”

Ying didn't say a word to him in reply and let him vent all his pent-up frustration. She didn't mind his harsh words. She found it actually quite touching. Because behind all his harsh words was his immense worry. And that really struck her heart right where it mattered.
