If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1626: Spring Breeze and Fluttering Cherry Blossoms (3)
"Take me with you!" Xia Chuqing had lost her composure. She only wanted to see him.
No matter what he became, he was still Xiao Mo! The person she loved most.
"Miss Xia, calm down. In this state, I really don’t dare take you there," Officer Tang sighed. "Let’s go."
Xia Chuqing struggled to calm her emotions, but no matter what, her heart could not settle down.
In fact, she could hear her own heartbeat clearly, thumping as if it might leap out of her throat the next second.
Officer Tang drove her personally, advising Xia Chuqing repeatedly along the way.
Halfway there, Xia Chuqing seemed to remember something. With a vacant look, she quietly said, "Officer Tang, stop the car. I need to get something from the apartment complex."
"I’ll go with you." Officer Tang feared she might not be thinking straight.
Xia Chuqing did not refuse; she wanted to go back for the ring.
The ring was beautiful, the pink diamond sweet, like cherry blossoms fluttering in a spring breeze...
But the person who put the ring on her finger would never return...
In the pitch-black hallway, Xia Chuqing walked and cried silently. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, landing on her cheeks, her collar, the back of her hand.
She had no desire to wipe the tears away; with every step, her heart shattered a little more.
The ring lay safely at the bottom of the box; she took it out and put it on her ring finger again, just like that morning when he did it for her.
A lifetime together, yet where is that lifetime...
"Xiao Mo, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..." Xia Chuqing kissed the ring, tears pouring down like rain.
"Miss Xia, it’s late, let’s go. If we delay any longer, you won’t be able to see him," Officer Tang sighed.
The night had indeed deepened; everywhere was pitch dark, with no moon or stars in sight.
The wind blew through her long hair but couldn’t dry her tears.
When Xia Chuqing saw Xiao Mo, he was lying there quietly, bloody and torn.
"Xiao Mo... Xiao Mo..." Xia Chuqing’s legs gave way, and she knelt before him, "Why won’t you look at me again... I know, it must be that I’ve disappointed you too much, so you don’t want to see me... Is that it...?"
"Xiao Mo, why did you have to leave me? I truly love you..."
At this moment, Xia Chuqing understood that it was too late for everything.
The meaning of life is to live without regrets, but she regretted it, deeply regretted it.
She regretted rejecting him, regretted not following her heart.
A lifetime so clearly filled with love for him, why didn’t she try being with him? Even without anyone’s blessing, it would be better than now, better than being with someone she didn’t love...
Knowing that night he was drunk and it was all drunken nonsense, why did she leave so decisively after he apologized...
She hated herself, hated her heartlessness.
"Xiao Mo..." She bowed her head, crying as she looked at him.
Officer Tang shook his head; he was powerless as well.
He calmly said to Xia Chuqing, "The initial judgment is that it was a drunk-driving incident, where he fell off a cliff. The deceased had been drinking for several days. His sports car had often been seen on secluded streets and near bars. But, the place he visited most those days was the Lavender Field in the outskirts."
Xia Chuqing’s heart was struck hard, the Lavender Field...
That place, where the sun was lovely, the lavender beautiful.
That place, where they had their first and most beautiful memories...
Xiao Mo’s smiling face appeared once again before her eyes, seemingly close. She reached out her hand.
But, only grasped a handful of empty air, nothing at all.
"Everyone who saw Mr. Xiao those few days said he always had a teddy dog with him, inseparable," Officer Tang said with a sigh.
"Guai Guai, Guai Guai..." Xia Chuqing cried again.
Her heart was completely in turmoil, Xiao Mo, Guai Guai, Xiao Mo, Guai Guai...
But all of this, it could never come back...
He was right in front of her, but it was the distance of life and death.
Crying and crying, Xia Chuqing lost her breath and fainted again.
"Miss Xia!" Officer Tang called out anxiously.
This time, it seemed as if it was a very long time, and also like an entire lifetime.
She had a long dream, dreaming of the place where she first met Xiao Mo, in an old neighborhood in Jin City.
At first sight, he was aloof, but so handsome, exuding an extraordinary presence.
She couldn’t remember when she had fallen for him, perhaps it was when they first met, or maybe a long time afterward. But regardless of when, he was etched into her heart, impossible to forget.
During countless days and nights, he filled her dreams; she wrote his name repeatedly.
This man smiled so handsomely, but was especially harsh when criticizing someone.
The time spent with him always passed quickly, and she especially remembered the reunion night, that beautiful evening they spent together.
Driving, he talked to her all along the way, about his past, his youth...
And, they watched fireworks together; as the fireworks blossomed, he embraced her waist.
He also bought her a teddy bear, and when he was drunk, he would call her and tell her that he missed her...
The dream was so long, long enough for her to feel that upon waking, she could tell herself she had never met Xiao Mo, that there was no man named Xiao Mo in her life.
In this way, there would be no parting of life and death.
Even without those happy memories, it would be alright...
When she woke up, it was already deep into the night; she glanced at the clock on the wall, two o’clock in the morning.
The light in the hospital room was on, she rubbed the ring on her finger, as if polishing a rare treasure. The ring was truly beautiful, yet she never had the chance to tell him she loved it.
Why is reality so cruel...
Silent tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, one drop after another, soaking the pillow.
Everything seemed like a dream, except this ring, which was real.
By the next day, Xiao’s father and Xiao’s mother had arrived. Xia Chuqing didn’t see them; Officer Tang said they were very upset and had cried for a long time.
Xia Chuqing would rather have been the one it happened to, not him.
She stayed sitting on the hospital bed, without the courage to walk out.
Without her, Xiao Mo wouldn’t have had the accident, she didn’t dare face Xiao’s father and mother; she was the sinner.
The weather in the hospital room was nice, the sunlight shone brightly on the earth, yet Xia Chuqing’s heart was shrouded in clouds, thick and unable to disperse for a long time.
She sat silently the entire time, not eating, just sitting with her head down, her gaze on the ring in her hand.
While she was looking at the ring, suddenly, she noticed there seemed to be an inscription on it.
Hurriedly, she took it off, but moments later, tears blurred her vision and her heart was tightly clenched.
The beautiful diamond shimmered with lively brilliance, and on the back of the ring were a few English letters she had never noticed before: LOVEQING.
In that instant, the tears began to flow endlessly...
