BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 - 51: Even if the sky falls down, I will support it for you
Gu Qichen got out of the car, walked up to Xia Yangyang, leisurely removed his overcoat and draped it over Xia Yangyang’s shoulders.
He then sat down beside her, his voice slow and deep, “You’re not answering your phone, do you know how worried I was about you?”
Xia Yangyang lowered her head, remaining silent.
Gu Qichen reached out to hold Xia Yangyang’s hand.
His palm was dry and warm, Gu Qichen asked, “What’s happened? Don’t you want to talk to me about it?”
Xia Yangyang had no idea where to start, so she remained silent.
Gu Qichen suddenly pulled Xia Yangyang into his arms, “Silly girl, no matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side. Even if the sky falls, I’ll shield you.”
Upon hearing these words, Xia Yangyang could no longer keep her composure and started crying.
When Uncle Lu expressed his disappointment in her, she didn’t cry. When Gong Xue’er framed her, she didn’t cry either. And when Lu Haotian said they should lead their separate lives as strangers, Xia Yangyang did not cry.
But when Gu Qichen said he’d hold up the sky for her, she cried as if her world had collapsed.
Gu Qichen was a bit startled, he patted her back as if comforting a child, constantly asking her what had happened.
Xia Yangyang cried for a long time before she hiccupped and told Gu Qichen everything.
Gu Qichen’s brows furrowed.
Xia Yangyang said, “I really didn’t push her, I don’t care that she framed me, but what saddens me is that the innocent life didn’t get to come into this world because of me…”
Gu Qichen said, “Xia Yangyang, punishing yourself for someone else’s mistake is the most foolish thing to do. She’s ruthless, not sparing even herself. Don’t be upset, leave this to me. I will find an opportunity to prove your innocence.”
Xia Yangyang abruptly stopped crying, looked at Gu Qichen and asked, “Do you believe me?”
Gu Qichen’s voice was deep and serious, “Of course, I believe you.”
“Why?”
“There’s no reason why.”
For some reason, Xia Yangyang unexpectly didn’t feel that upset anymore after hearing what Gu Qichen had said.
Gu Qichen said, “Stay away from Gong Xue’er for a while, leave the rest to me. Trust me, I’ll ensure she faces the consequences of her actions.”
Regardless of whether Gu Qichen was just comforting her or not, Xia Yangyang felt warm inside.
Xia Yangyang nodded her head.
Gu Qichen said, “Let’s go home. What do you want? I’ll cook it for you once we’re home.”
Gu Qichen’s tone was like coaxing a child, the same way one might coax a child with candy.
Xia Yangyang, for once, didn’t hesitate and blurted out, “I want braised pork.”
Gu Qichen laughed, “Then I’ll make braised pork for you.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t expect that Gu Qichen would really know how to make braised pork, and it was delicious to the point of being chef-quality.
Xia Yangyang hastily ate more than ten pieces, almost to the point of overeating.
Gu Qichen, on the other hand, didn’t touch his food, he just sat there with a hint of a smile watching Xia Yangyang who was eating heartily.
In the end, patting her belly, Xia Yangyang asked, “How do you even know how to make braised pork? Gu Qichen, is there anything you can’t do?”
Xia Yangyang’s eyes clearly portrayed admiration, which made Gu Qichen quite pleased.
With a light smile, Gu Qichen asked, “Are you full now?”
Xia Yangyang nodded vigorously.
“Are you feeling any better now?”
Xia Yangyang nodded again enthusiastically, “There’s nothing a bowl of braised pork can’t cure in this world. If it doesn’t work, then two bowls will.”
Gu Qichen chuckled and called her a little foodie.
Then he instructed, “Go wash the dishes.”
Xia Yangyang naturally got up to start cleaning up the dishes, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and asked, “Why aren’t you washing?”
Wasn’t he supposed to be cheering her up? Why is he making her do chores?
Gu Qichen simply replied, “Have you ever seen a master chef washing dishes?”
Xia Yangyang found his reasoning compelling. She turned around and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Xia Yangyang was still upset. The image of Gong Xue’er tumbling down the stairs and staining her white clothes with blood kept replaying itself in her mind.
However, having something to do was better than doing nothing at all..
