C1055 Never Touched the Other Side of the River

It's a sleepless night.

Rongge lay flat on the bed, staring at the darkness in the void with his eyes wide open.

He did not sleep the whole night, so he could clearly hear the sound of Qing Huan opening the door to fetch water in the morning. He sat up, put on his clothes, and opened the door. When he saw Qing Huan combing her hair, he wanted to say something, but his mouth was full of bitterness.

She washed up as usual, tidied her clothes, and was about to leave when Rongge stopped her. "Wait, where are you going?"

Qing Huan did not stop.

Rongge jumped a few steps and followed, "I'll send you there."

Qing Huan walked in front while Rongge limped behind her.

When they passed by the alley, a man wearing a hat and a gray gown saw Qing Huan and whistled vulgarly, "Stinking woman, you still dare to come out."

Qing Huan lowered her head and sped up.

Seeing this, the man laughed lewdly and took a few big steps to catch her, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. It's daytime, and I won't do anything to you."

Qing Huan dodged his hand in a sorry state. She let out a hoarse growl from her throat, "Get lost! Don't touch me!"

The man spat, "If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit. Watch how I deal with you!"

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to grab it when Rongge, who had rushed over, grabbed him. He twisted his hand backhandedly and could not help but bend down in pain." Damn it, who is it?! "

"It's him?" Rongge asked.

Qing Huan didn't even look at him as she left in a hurry.

Rongge pushed her away and chased after her again, "Is it him? Did anyone bully you along the way? How long has it been? Is it like this every day?"

Qing Huan said coldly," It's none of your business. "

Rongge did not give up. "You owe me a favor. Your business is my business. I can't watch you get bullied."

"Then what can you do?" Qing Huan looked at her coldly. Her words were flat and cold. " He humiliated me. How are you going to humiliate me back? A few warnings, a beating, or can you help me kill him? "

Rongge was stunned. He never expected that she would actually want to kill him. In an instant, he thought of that clear and cheerful girl who was holding a small basket and sprinkling sugar on the street. She was wearing a bright red armor dress. Her snow white skin bloomed with a beautiful smile from the bottom of her heart. Surrounded by the chattering children, she was clean and beautiful like a mountain of tea.

Just a year had passed, and that kind woman could say without batting an eyelid whether she could kill someone for her. In just an instant, he suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity towards her.

Qing Huan looked at the stunned Rongge and sneered, then turned around and continued to walk away.

She had seen so many different kinds of men. She thought she had experienced hundreds of battles, but she had misjudged them time and time again. She had pitifully lost to their selfishness and shamelessness.

She once had hopes for Rongge. She had thought that he might be able to take her out of the building, but she had miscalculated. The moment she appeared, he chose to retreat without hesitation. She could only face the unknown and turbulent vortex.

The second time, she saved him and gave him a temporary place to settle down. However, when she encountered bullying, he still chose to retreat like the first time.

She had never expected that she would be able to gain anything from others, but she had never thought that one day, there would be no one she could rely on by her side.

Grief and sorrow surged into her heart at the same time. She instantly doubted her own existence.

She had struggled in the boundless Sea of Bitterness for twenty years. She had seen the mirage of a sea serpent several times and had never touched the other side of the shore.

Rongge stared blankly at her grey and dusty back as it gradually disappeared into the distance. Panic and helplessness drowned him bit by bit.

He wanted to chase after her. He didn't want to see her despairing back.

"I can!" He shouted at her back.

Qing Huan's back stiffened. After a short pause, she continued to walk forward.

Rongge became nervous. He only felt a panic in his heart. He limped and jumped to catch up with her. "I can! I can help you!"

He grabbed Qing Huan's wrist and said loudly, "I can! I have let you down once, I will not let you down a second time! "
