"You knew?" Rick was slightly startled; he didn't expect Xixi to take his profession so lightly .
"Sister Mian told me a little bit . Plus, back when you worked at Seductive Fox, I knew that you weren't doing regular business . I mean, everyone knows what Seductive Fox's all about . Rick, you really underestimated my strength . I just wanted to say . . . If I like you, I like you . It doesn't matter what you do . You are who you are . Whether you're an angel or a devil, I accept all of you . . . so really, you're worrying too much . "
"That's not what's important . . . Xixi, I have a lot of enemies . . . I'm afraid of putting you in danger . . . if you're ever in danger because of me . . . I . . . "
"Relax, I'll try to not be your baggage . I'll stay by your side . . . I'll never leave . If someone wants us dead, we'll fight back . Worse comes to worst, we'll die together . "
With that, Xixi revealed a long-awaited smile .
Looking at her smile, Rick felt his empty heart fill up with something .
Perhaps Xixi was right; people should live a simpler life . If you always lived concerned about this and worried about that, you might live in fear for your entire life .
It might be better to live in the most direct way .

Xixi's attitude towards love was simple . Couples should stay together when in love; separate when out of love .
They should face difficulties together and if it comes to it, die together .
Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, Rick realized that he had made the same cliche mistake as Qin Chu .
They were both acting in the interest of their lovers, but little did they know, it wasn't what their lovers wanted .
They weren't mind-readers, after all . Qin Chu thought that he was doing Huo Mian a favor by leaving but he forgot to take into account all the sleepless nights and hopeless days she suffered in the four years without him .
As far as Huo Mian was concerned, nothing was more important than having Qin Chu next to her .
Similar to Qin Chu, Rick was too busy worrying about what his background and family would bring to the innocent Xixi .
What he failed to see, was what he meant to her; he was her greatest happiness .

Even at the risk of dying . . .
Love was sometimes so insignificant . Some may not even withstand the test of money, not to mention life and death .
Some, however, were so great, that people are willing to chase it their entire lives… To these people, the feeling of love was tantamount to the air they breathed . . .
Although these girls were few and far between, they existed . . . as Huo Mian and as Xixi .
After almost losing Xixi this time, Rick truly couldn't suppress his feelings any longer .
After he accompanied Xixi until she fell asleep, and then he walked out of the hospital room .
"How is she? How's her mood? Qin Chu asked .
"She's fine now . She's asleep already . "

"What are you going to do now?"
"I don't know yet . " Rick's tone was still icy cold .
Hearing this, Huo Mian's heart dropped . She thought that Xixi and Rick's relationship was irreparable, even if Xixi almost traded in her life .
"If you have something to do, go . We will take care of her," Qin Chu said .
"No, I want to stay with her for the New Year . "
"New Year?"
Qin Chu and Huo Mian were both stunned by his words .
"And I will never leave her again . . . " Rick added .
"Uh . . . does this mean you're back together?" Huo Main asked in disbelief .
"Sure . "
"Are you really sure? Aren't you afraid . . . " Qin Chu understood Rick's worries so he cautiously reminded .
"In comparison to all that, I'm more afraid of losing her . " Rick's answer was simple and straightforward .
Huo Mian was a little moved . . .
"Xixi's very simple . She simplifies many complicated things . She only knows black and white, right and wrong . . . there are no gray areas . Honestly, a girl like her is hard to find . " Huo Mian put in a good word for Xixi .
"I know all about it . . . Xixi has always been great . I was just afraid of putting her in danger . . . " Rick lowered his head in guilt .
"What about your fiancée in New Orleans?" Qin Chu was quite worried about this . He knew what kind of a person Luna's father was and he feared for the trouble he would cause .
