2413 Huo Siqian’s Stress (4)
Qin Chu bent down and picked up the broken hair clips… and for the first time in his life, he felt like he couldn’t breathe .
Then, he left the country for seven years…
Their relationship back in the day was like a shot of whiskey – a fierce start with a bitter aftertaste .
Years later, Huo Mian would still regret what she did back in high school, and the way she destroyed her favorite present from Qin Chu .
So how could she not burst into tears upon seeing the pair of rose hair clips? This present meant so much to both of them .
“Honey, where did you get this? Back then, I…” Huo Mian stopped before she finished her sentence . Did Qin Chu get someone to make a new pair? But they didn’t look new…
Was this the pair she smashed onto the ground all those years ago?
As expected, Qin Chu nodded . “I picked them up after you left and they’ve been with me all this time… last time, I glued the roses back together… They’re not perfect, but they’re irreplaceable . ”
Huo Mian carefully took out the pair of hair clips and gently stroked them… Tears continued to fall down her face .
“Don’t cry, we should be happy . ” Qin Chu got up and wiped away Huo Mian’s tears with a tissue .
Yes, we should be happy . Honey, did you know that out of all the presents you’ve given me, this is my favorite one?” Huo Mian’s voice was trembling as she looked up at Qin Chu .
“I do,” Mr . Qin replied gently .
“Do you know why they’re my favorite?” Huo Mian asked .
“Because I bought them with the money I made from tutoring piano for a day . I didn’t use my parents’ money . ” Qin Chu seemed to know Huo Mian very well .
Emotional, Huo Mian grabbed Qin Chu by the arm and nodded her head furiously . “Yes, you’re such a proud man but you wanted to buy a present for me with your own money and was even willing to be a piano teacher… Do you know what I was thinking when you told me about this?’
Qin Chu smiled but didn’t answer . Instead, he reached out and gently stroked Huo Mian’s long hair .
“I thought, this was a man who was willing to put away his pride to love me… I had to treasure him for the rest of my life,” Huo Mian said, tears once again bursting out of her eyes .
“Woah, is Dr . Huo confessing her love for me?” Qin Chu asked jokingly .
Thank you for giving me another chance to see them… I thought I’d never find them again…” Huo Mian sobbed as she leaned into Qin Chu’s embrace .
“Don’t cry… come on, let me put the hair clips on you…” Qin Chu carefully wiped away her tears and slowly placed the hairclips on her hair .
Huo Mian stroked the clips like they were priceless treasures…
“I told you that you’d be happy . ” Qin Chu smiled from the bottom of his heart .
You’re right, they’re still my favorite, even after all these years…” Huo Mian said as she stood up and hugged Qin Chu tightly . Then, she kissed him .
