Chapter 19 His Redesigned Wedding Home
Xie Yiheng did not answer me.
And just as he had said—
Half a month had already passed.
No one found this place.
He did not even disguise himself when he went out for supplies.
The doubt in my heart grew heavier.
With modern surveillance, it was impossible that no clue had turned up after so many days.
Unless some force beyond this world was interfering.
Had the System appeared again?
Xie Yiheng was like a patient who had found hope again. He recovered his usual ease.
Every day he pushed me around the villa in a wheelchair.
"This area is the reading corner I designed for you. When you're tired, you can rest on the rocking chair."
"This is the entertainment area. We can play chess here in our free time."
"This is the open kitchen. You always said the old kitchen was too small for two people. Now it won't be a problem."
...
He pushed me out to the back garden with eager energy.
All kinds of flowers were planted there.
At a glance, it looked like a fairy-tale wonderland.
Xie Yiheng's voice held a smile.
"A Yu, from now on you can pick the freshest flowers yourself every morning. Do you like it?"
I froze for a second and understood his intention.
This was the Wedding Home he had redesigned for me.
I only found it absurd.
"Don't you think it's too late?"
Xie Yiheng paused.
"It's not late. We still have a long time."
I looked at him, my tone calm.
"I don't love you. No matter what you do, I will never like you."
"Even if you can keep me trapped forever, in the end you'll only get a corpse."
The moment the words fell, a cool tear hit the back of my hand.
Xie Yiheng was crying.
My increasingly frail figure was reflected in his eyes.
The composed mask cracked, revealing huge panic and confusion.
"Then what should I do?"
"What do I have to do to win your love back?"
I lowered my eyes.
"Let go. We were only passersby in each other's lives. I'm not worth this kind of price."
Xie Yiheng shook his head firmly.
"I've already tasted the price of letting go once."
"A Yu, to me you are a place to rest, oxygen, plain water. I took it for granted back then. Only after losing you did I realize. I can't live without you."
His expression tightened. He raised a hand and wiped the wetness from the corner of his eye.
"I will never make the same mistake again."
