C18 Memories

Xia Jing was taken aback.

She stared at the string of words in a daze. It was as if she had seen the handsome white-clothed young man through her cold phone.

His smile was always filled with light. It was as if the warm sun was overflowing from the horizon. Wherever he was, everything was so beautiful that it was suffocating.

Soon, her face suddenly became extremely frightened. Memories flooded her mind like a tide.

"Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing!" In the fierce fire, it was the first time that Lin Xiu's voice was so nervous, panicked, out of control, and at the top of his lungs.

The enchanting flames lit up the entire night with a bright red glow. The Xia Family's villa was constantly collapsing, and the fire was burning more and more violently. It was uncontrollable.

Xia Jing, who was surrounded by flames, lay weakly in the courtyard and replied in a daze, "Brother Lin Xiu..."

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, a black figure rushed over and picked her up. "Xiao Jing, don't be afraid. I will take you out right now."

Her consciousness had already begun to blur, and she could only vaguely see that the young man's white clothes were badly burned by the flames. He carried her and ran wildly in the sea of fire. The flames licked his body, and the smell of burnt flesh drifted in the air.

She raised her hand to touch his face with a pained heart, but at this moment, her body was sent flying. She fell heavily on the cold floor. Through the fire, the young man in white finally exhausted all his strength and knelt down, letting the flames bury him inch by inch.

That was the last time she saw him. He looked at her from a distance. There was no pain on his face. Instead, he was smiling. The fire all over the sky was not as bright as the light from his smile. It was so dazzling, so dazzling, yet warm. It was the warmth that was unique to him.

It was only when her tears blurred her vision that Xia Jing realized that she was crying.

She quickly wiped her tears and lowered her head to read the text again seriously.

When she read it, a smile that was uglier than crying appeared on her face.

It had been five years, and her heart had never been so stirred up before. Ever since the incident with the Xia Family, she had never been able to recover from it. Her heart was like dead ashes, like an empty shell that had lost its soul. Shen Ruo Bai picked it up and took care of it.

She did not ask about the foundation of the Xia Family, but Shen Ruo Bai had mentioned it to her once that the Xia Family was bankrupt and owed a huge debt. He had already paid off all of his debts and told her to stay by his side in peace.

As expected, she stayed by his side in peace, day after day, year after year, the pain did not gradually heal with time. Instead, it was suppressed in her heart and waited for the day when she would completely forget it.

It was said that love would grow over time, and this was how she felt about Shen Ruo Bai. She slowly accepted his feelings and started living again, with dreams of the fire that had consumed her parents and the young man in white who had laughed and knelt down in the fire in order to save her, and living so well that he would have been satisfied with almost anything she asked of him, and would have done everything she asked of him, and even indulged in all sorts of bad habits.

She had thought that her whole life would end like this. Since he had taken her life, she would live by his side. Not long ago, Lin Xiu appeared on the television. The memories that she had suppressed deep in her heart were evoked. She suddenly realized how much of a good-for-nothing she was living. She had been running away for so many years.

Her parents died, her family declined. All of these things were closely related to her life. Because, she belonged to the Xia Family.

The fire was sudden, and the Xia Family's business was also sudden. She had the responsibility to find out everything and let her parents in heaven die in peace.

And what she owed Lin Xiu...
