Chapter 676: Liking
Xia Xiaofu had a bright smile on her face and looked over at Ah Tongmu as she said, “Sure, I would have to trouble you then.”
Ah Tongmu’s eyes were all lit up as he said, “That’s great, beautiful young lady. Follow me.”
Xia Xiaofu stretched her hand out to tuck the strands of hair behind her ear as she said, “I suddenly remembered that I have something I left inside the car. I have to go back to the car to get it. Get busy first, I will meet you guys here later.”
“What did you forget to bring along? I will go along with you.”
“There is no need for that, thank you.” Xia Xiaofu lifted her heels and left.
…
After shaking Ah Tongmu off, Xia Xiaofu headed in the direction of the forest, and after taking two steps, she heard the sound of footsteps ring out from behind her. Her slim wrist was pinned down after that.
Xia Xiaofu’s lips were curled up into a light arc, but it disappeared quickly. She turned around to coldly look at the boy behind her before frustratedly saying, “Let go.”
It was Ou Luoxi.
Ou Luoxi had chased after her.
Little Fourth stood in the distance as he looked at both of them, and it was just as if it was standing guard for them.
After looking at the girl for a moment, Ou Luoxi let go of her hand.
Xia Xiaofu was furious, she was totally livid, she asked him to let go, and he really did so. Dumb fool. He was totally dumb!
How did she fall in love with this person?
She lifted her slim legs apart before she turned around and left.
Ou Luoxi trailed behind her and said, “Do you really want to live in Ah Tongmu’s home?”
“Why do you care about me?”
“The culture is very liberal here. If a girl agrees to live in a boy’s house, that means that both of them will sleep with one another at night.”
What?
Xia Xiaofu was shocked. This kind of folk culture was way too liberal.
But she grunted as she said, “Then do you have a girl inside your house? I saw that the girl was hugging your elbow tight and did not let go. I think both of you slept with one another a long time ago right.”
Ou Luoxi did not say anything.
Xia Xiaofu stopped in her tracks, and she clenched her small fist as she glared at him fiercely. “Ou Luoxi, have you really slept with other girls before?”
Ou Luoxi looked at her, and her eyes were all red. Her glistening tears were rolling from her eyes like if he really said that he’s slept with someone else, she would start crying immediately.
“Ou Luoxi, say something.” Xia Xiaofu took two steps forward to hit him. The tears in her eyes flowed down relentlessly as she said, “Bastard, say something. Have you actually slept with someone else before?”
Ou Luoxi allowed her to hit him as she liked. The tears from her eyes flowed down onto his palm. They were both wet and hot, and all of a sudden, his heart felt very painful.
“I have not,” he replied.
It was only then that Xia Xiaofu stopped hitting him. She drooped her small head down as she wiped her tears away before she raised her head up to look at him, and she said, “Then do you want me to stay at Ah Tongmu’s house tonight?”
She handed the decision over to him.
Ou Luoxi looked at the girl’s bright, almond-shaped eyes as he shook his head. “I don’t want you to.”
Xia Xiaofu bit her lower lip, and she slowly curled the corners of her lips up into a smile. She’d only been waiting for him to say that.
“I will give a call to…Older Brother later. I will ask Older Brother to take you back…”
Xia Xiaofu was frozen entirely. She fiercely looked at Ou Luoxi’s beautiful face, and her eyes were little in a blur and in pain as her entire body was shaking before she growled, “Ou Luoxi, I wooed you and came all the way here. I did not come here for you to push me towards another person. You are a coward and have been one since the beginning of it all. I really look down on you!”
Xia Xiaofu covered her mouth and quickly ran away.
Ou Luoxi stood on the spot, and he closed his eyes forcefully as he exhaled. I am sorry…
“Woof woof!” Little Fourth was barking at him.
Ou Luoxi opened his eyes, and he followed the direction that Little Fourth was looking in. There was a wooden sign with some words on it — Danger ahead! No trespassers!
Ou Luoxi was alarmed. It was the deeper end of the mountain, so she would definitely get lost.
“Little Fourth, let’s go quickly.” Ou Luoxi lifted his long legs apart as he ran forward.
…
“Xia Xiaofu, Xia Xiaofu!” Ou Luoxi tried hard to search for Xia Xiaofu. He’d grown up in the depths of the mountain. He was very good at navigating, but three years ago, the government did planning and replanning works here. Still, this was not a problem for him.
But the depths of the mountain were very large. The sky was so dark right now. Xia Xiaofu had headed in all on her own, and she might meet with some wild beast or bad people. It was very dangerous.
Ou Luoxi was anxious and felt guilty inside his heart. He should not have said those words to provoke her just now.
Where was she right now?
“Woof woof!” Little Fourth ran all over the place to sniff for Xia Xiaofu’s scent, but he did not pick up any clues.
Ou Luoxi searched for over an hour, and a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky. It was going to rain soon.
Ou Luoxi was so anxious that his eyes were all red. Where should I look?
Suddenly his mind clicked, “Little Fourth, come with me quickly!”
He turned around and ran towards the mountain cave from three years ago.
He ran over to the entrance of the mountain cave. The mountain cave had already collapsed and turned into a barren piece of land. The wild grass by the side had already grown crazily until it was already half of the height of a human. Ou Luoxi’s hope that he held inside his heart sunk down. She was not here.
Bang! The heavy downpour started to come down.
Ou Luoxi stood on the spot for a few moments. He prepared to go to another spot to look for Xia Xiaofu, but at this moment, he heard a very soft cry, and his ears moved before he headed towards the sound.
After taking a few steps, he saw a girl sitting in the middle of the wild grasses. The girl hugged her kneecaps tight as she curled up, and she was lying against the rock that fell out from the cave as she sobbed out softly.
Ou Luoxi looked at her. The heavy downpour drenched her body entirely. Her hair was all wet and fell down on her face. She looked pitiful and dishevelled. She was crying because she felt very upset. Her small shoulders were frail as they shuddered. She looked extremely pitiful, and everyone who saw her would want to come forward to give her a hug.
Ou Luoxi slowly stepped forward,before he stooped down in front of her. He propped both of his hands to block her forehead, stopping the rain from falling down on her.
His heart felt as if a large hand was kneading it. He was in so much pain that he was about to suffocate. A long time passed, and he found his own voice again. “What are you doing…here?”
Xia Xiaofu still maintained the position as she buried her small head into her kneecaps. She did not raise her head up, and she cried as she said, “I really wanted to come over here to have a look. I wanted to give the person who saved me three years ago my thanks. I missed him. I missed him very very much… Over the past three years, I’ve missed him every day…”
Ou Luoxi’s throat felt bitter as he said, “I am…sorry.”
“Hah!” Xia Xiaofu laughed softly and said, “You don’t have to apologize to me. You did not do anything wrong because the person who saved me three years ago was not you at all. The person who saved me has already disappeared with this cave…
“If it was you who saved me… Some time back, I told you that it was because Ou Ze had saved me that I got engaged with him. You would not have stayed silent the entire time. You would not have misunderstood me all the time like that… If it were you who saved me, you would not have chosen to ignore my presence all this time, and furthermore, you would not bear to push me to another man…
“Don’t you like me? Liar. You obviously like me very very much. You never forget me… Last year, because of you, I fought with a few Korean actresses backstage, and you passed by coincidentally. Actually, whether you were there coincidentally or not, you are clear about that inside your heart… Also that time during the Lu Corporation banquet dinner. I invited you to dance, and you were unwilling to do so, but when I ran outside to the fountain outside, you chased after me again. You secretly played a tune for me…”
“How can you be like this? While you like me, you pretend not to like me at the same time. While you kiss me, you are also pushing me over to Ou Ze at the same time. In your eyes, what do you see me as? Do you and your brother treat each other politely while trying to share?”
Xia Xiaofu started to cry even more loudly. She cried as she let out all the grievances that she had inside her heart. She choked up quickly, and it made her unable to catch her breath.
“I am sorry, Xiaofu…” Ou Luoxi pinned her shoulders down and wanted to pull her into his embrace.
“Don’t touch me!” Xia Xiaofu struggled and did not allow him to hug her. Her tears flowed down and blurred her vision while she stared at him. She chided him and said, “Three years ago, why did you not ask for my consent to remove my clothes? Who allowed you to hug me and sleep? Didn’t you know what that means for a girl? Bastard Ou Luoxi, I am yours. Do you know that I belong to you?”
“Xiaofu…”
“How could you give me to another man? Men in China can be gracious with anything, but it is just their own woman that they cannot give up on! What are you going to do if I really get married to Ou Ze? What if Ou Ze behaved just like you and removed my clothes and hugged me to sleep. What are you going to do? Bastard, you can even bear with this…”
Xia Xiaofu was extremely emotional as she scolded him, but in the next second, her small lips were blocked. “Woo!”
Ou Luoxi kissed her harshly.
Xia Xiaofu tried to struggle, but she was unable to break away. The youth’s powerful shoulders pinned her body down, and he protected her in his broad embrace as he kissed her forcefully.
Xia Xiaofu wanted to scold him. Did he know how to kiss or not? Both of their teeth were clashing against each other, and she was in pain.
“Woo!” She clenched her small fist up as she hit him before pushing him away forcefully.
Ou Luoxi panted as he looked into her eyes and at her red lips.
“Let me ask you one last time, Ou Luoxi: do you like me or not?”
Ou Luoxi pursed his light pink lips, and he did not say anything.
Xia Xiaofu was immediately dejected as she let out a snort. “Hmph!” She pushed him away, and stood up on her own.
But because she’d been seated for too long, it made her legs numb, and she was about to fall.
At this moment, her small waist was pinned down, and she was being carried in his arms.
“Ou Luoxi!”
“I like you,” Ou Luoxi said softly.
A sweet smile quickly appeared on her face. He’s finally admitted that he likes her.
It was so hard for him.
She used her small hand to hit his chest before hugging his neck tight as she said, “Ou Luoxi, I also like you.”
Ou Luoxi had a small smile on his face, and his small dimples that were on his cheeks were visible at times. He looked extremely beautiful.
Xia Xiaofu raised her head up to kiss the corners of his lips before burying her head into his embrace.
…
When Xia Xiaofu was placed back down, she was already inside a house. She had a look around her surroundings. This was a wooden house in the mountains. It was decorated with wooden chairs and tables. Although it was simply furnished,the environment was quiet and pure, and it was generally clean.
She walked over to open a window. The fresh air from outside came in, and there was a lamp placed along the corridor. The amber yellow light made the light shower outside look blurry, and the entire landscape was beautiful.
She turned her head back to ask him, “Luoxi, do you live here?”
“Yeah.” Ou Luoxi nodded his head, and he took a bucket of clean water and a clean towel in his hands, as he said, “I will go and get some hot water. The wooden tub to bathe is there.”
Bathe?
It was only then that Xia Xiaofu lowered her gaze to have a look at herself. She only wore a spaghetti strap dress, and the dress was already completely drenched and was stuck on her body, and her curvy figure was accentuated greatly with the fit of the dress.
Xia Xiaofu’s face turned red quickly, and she used her small hands to cover her chest up.
Ou Luoxi took a pail of hot water and placed the towel on the chair. He walked out and said, “You can go and take a shower. I will stand guard outside.”
“Oh.”
Because the room was small, the wooden bucket to take a bath in was just divided by a folding screen. Ou Luoxi took a cold shower outside. When he entered the house, he heard the sound of water flowing from behind the folding screen. His heart was tickled just as if there were ants biting it.
Ou Luoxi turned his gaze over to the side to look over. There was a shadow on the folding screen. Her hair was all down, and she stretched her slim, snow-white arms out as water droplets flowed down. Her skin was smooth and fragrant.
Ou Luoxi swallowed his saliva and quickly averted his gaze before he turned around and walked away.
He just headed out of the house, and saw Ah Tongmu rush over in a hurry. “Luoxi, did you see that beautiful lady? She is missing. I searched for her for a long time and could not find her.”
“You don’t have to continue searching for her. She is my girlfriend.”
“What?”
Ou Luoxi did not say anything else, and his attitude was cold.
Ah Tongmu had a look at the tightly shut door and asked, “Is she in your house?”
“Yeah.” Ou Luoxi nodded his head.
Ah Tongmu felt defeated, and he turned around and left.
Ah Tongmu was gone. “Ah!” Ou Luoxi suddenly heard Xia Xiaofu scream from inside the house.
He quickly rushed into the house, “What’s wrong?”
Xia Xiaofu, who was inside, turned her body to the side as she lay down on the bed. She only wore a pair of pink underwear, and everything else he saw was her silky white smooth ski. It made his throat go dry.
She grabbed onto his black t shirt as she covered her chest with it, and Little Fourth was tugging the shirt in her hands.
She did not bring a change of clothes over, so she borrowed a t shirt from him, but Little Fourth was snatching it away from her.
Upon seeing him come in, Xia Xiaofu was even more frantic. She tried hard to snatch it away from Little Fourth, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at him and asked, “How did you get inside?”
Ou Luoxi averted his gaze and did not look at her before he lowered his gaze to look over at Little Fourth. The expression on his face was serious as he said, “Little Fourth, let go.”
“Woof!” Little Fourth barked out loud before it used strength. “Ah!” Xia Xiaofu let out a shout because her chest felt a chill.
Little Fourth held the shirt in his mouth before he ran out of the room.
Ou Luoxi looked at the girl.
Xia Xiaofu used her small hands to cover her chest, and her small fair face was all pink. Her long hair covered her small shoulders and some of her bare body, but Ou Luoxi still could see the snowy white skin that was peeking out through her fingers, and it made his heart tingle.
“You… what are you standing there for?”
“Oh.” Ou Luoxi turned around and immediately ran outside. His voice was extremely hoarse as he said, “Wait a moment. I will go and get the shirt back.”
Xia Xiaofu looked at the boy’s tall figure, and her small face was steaming with hot vapour. She was extremely embarrassed.
…
Ou Luoxi came back very quickly, but he did not go inside anymore. He stood before the folding screen and said, “I took the shirt back. I will put it here, you…should quickly put it on.”
He left.
Xia Xiaofu waited for him to leave before she gently got off of hte bed, and she put on the black t-shirt. The t shirt was very long, and it ended beneath her thighs. This attire made her legs look fair and long, and she was extremely eye-catching.
“I am done,” she said towards the door..
