What do you want me to be?

  As early as when Wu Mingyuan first publicly posted a notice to find Xiao Congrong, Xiao Congrong already knew about it because Chu Qingchao was the first one to tear off the notice and show it to her.

  The imperial edict was torn to shreds by this man with impunity, leaving Xiao Zong speechless and wondering whether Chu Qing was simply lawless or just didn't care about the imperial authority.

  Chu Qingkuang's explanation was absurd: "I just wanted to let you see his 'sincerity'! They're offering a huge reward to find you and bring you back! Those who know think it's a missing person notice, while those who don't think it's a confession of love!"

  There was a slightly sour tone in his voice, Xiao Zongrong ignored him and took the imperial edict to take a look, and it really had some of that flavor.

  Wu Mingyuan, apart from offering a large sum of money to informants about Xiao Congrong's whereabouts, also added some words, roughly meaning that he had been remiss in his duties when he was stabbed and injured, which led to the wrongful death of the Xiao family, and begged Xiao Congrong to return, giving him a chance to make amends, promising to treat her well.

  This imperial edict is indeed astonishing, it's like a declaration of love... Wu Mingyuan, what is he trying to do? Is he going to make his guilty feelings public and take her as his concubine? Does he want people to think he still has feelings for her? Does he want to reunite with her?

  Unfortunately, Xiao Congrong didn't see it that way. She would rather believe that he was doing this to win over the hearts of the old subordinates of the Xiao family than believe that he had any real feelings for her!

  "Are you very moved?" Chu Qing saw her staring at the imperial edict without speaking, and walked over to say sarcastically: "If you really want to go back, I'll send you back!"

  Xiao Congrong raised an eyebrow, seeing Chu Qingkong's eyes deep and cunning, with a shallow blue light flowing, which was enchanting. She played with her heart, stretched out her hand to pinch his face, and teased: "You're not sincere! Are you really willing to send me back?"

  Chu Qingkong burst out laughing, suddenly lowered his head and pecked her lips lightly, only then saying: "Unless I'm dead, there's no way this could happen! Otherwise... you can only obediently stay by my side, be mine!"

  Xiao Zongrong gave him a cold glance, this man's overbearingness was enough, when did she agree to be his person!

  Even if he really likes her, even if she wears his pearl, even if she is seen through by him, before she has made up her own mind, she will not consider herself as his person!

  It seemed like he could see what she was thinking, Chu Qingfan pulled her hand and squatted in front of her, saying: "Rong'er, can you agree to one thing for me?"

  Xiao Congrong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, no way, Chu Qingcang wasn't going to propose now, was he?! She really wasn't prepared... She hadn't thought about getting married yet... She didn't even know if she liked him... And she definitely didn't want to reject him and hurt him...

  Can't tell why, just know that his own refusal will hurt his proud heart, so don't want him to say such things!

  "What... is it? You speak first!" She avoided his eyes, fearing that she would make a wrong decision if she couldn't bear it!

  "Rong'er... look at me!" Chu Qingcang turned her head around, facing his eyes, their noses touching, and his breath filled with a dry, slightly fragrant scent. In an instant, her thoughts were in disarray, her blood boiling over, and she shamefully discovered that she was yearning for the touch of his lips...

  Habits are really bad, she attributed this impulse to his leftover habit of kissing her! She tried hard to ignore the sexual attraction between two consenting adults, and resisted the urge to wrap her arms around his neck by tightly grasping the collar of her own clothes.

  Damn it, what's going on? She strained to look into his eyes, trying to ignore the sudden urge in her body, and shouted somewhat exasperatedly: "If you don't say anything, how am I supposed to know whether or not I should agree with you?! If you won't speak up then get out..."

  The word "open" disappeared into the soft lips of the other person, and the dry, slightly fragrant flavor instantly filled the entire mouth. At first, it hesitated and gently licked, using the tip of the tongue to carefully outline the shape of her lips, then slowly increased the intensity, greedily nibbling at her lip petals.

  It made her feel a little painful, yet not so unbearable, her body became feverishly agitated, Xiao Zongrong couldn't remember the last time she was so violently ill, before crossing over it wasn't mentioned, after crossing over she had always been hovering between illness and...

  She hadn't thought about it, and seemed to have forgotten that her body had grown up and had its own needs... But as his kiss moved down, kissing her neck, and reached her earlobe, she suddenly trembled and put her hands on Chu Qingcang's shoulders, pushing him away forcefully.

  She didn't dare look at his expression, her own face was already red enough to bleed, she lowered her head and said: "Don't do this anymore..."

  There was a moment of silence in the room, Chu Qingxian was originally squatting, unguarded and pushed by her to sit on the ground. He smiled bitterly, exerted himself to get up, sat on the ground and stretched out his hand to her.

  Xiao Congrong's hand was still clutching her skirt, and when she saw the white and slender hand stretched out in front of her, she didn't have the courage to take it.

  Chu Qing stretched out her hand and grasped hers, then did something that no one had ever done to Xiao Zong before.

  He grasped her hand and placed it on his chest, over his heart, then tilted his head and sat down on the ground, resting his head on her knee, softly saying: "I'm sorry, I was too impatient! I just... wanted you to forget him... wanted your whole body to be covered in my marks..."

  Xiao Congrong was stunned, staring blankly at the man who was resting his head on her lap. His profile was so perfect, the shape of his nose and those rough men were too delicate in comparison, his long and black eyelashes covered his beautiful eyes, making him look like a sleeping prince, quietly guarding his princess...

  Her heartbeat slowed down with the quiet, she couldn't push him away, and with great effort controlled herself from reaching out to stroke his face. Feeling that she could speak calmly now, she opened her mouth: "Didn't you want me to promise you something? What is it?"

  "Rong'er... when you like someone, do you also become stupid along with it?" Chu Qingcang suddenly asked, still maintaining that posture, resting his head on her knees and holding her hand.

  Xiao Congrong was taken aback and lost his smile: "Why ask this?"

  "Because I feel like when I'm facing you...my mind is never that clear!"

  "Chu Qing said with a mixture of anxiety and concern: 'I clearly know you can't possibly still have feelings for Wu Mingyuan, but I'm also afraid that you might go soft...and can't resist his advances, returning to his side once again...'"

  Xiao Congrong was shocked and suddenly realized that his abnormal behavior was actually due to eating vinegar!

  "What... how can you think of such a mess!" She couldn't help but laugh, hesitated for half a day and still couldn't resist the temptation, gently placing her fingertips in front of his eyelashes, feeling the gentle touch of that small fan.

  "I don't know... That's why I think I'm a bit stupid!"

  Sighing softly, his cheek rubbed against her knee, he opened the hand that was holding hers and placed it on his chest, saying slowly: "Things in life are unpredictable, last year when you married him I didn't know you yet, at that time you probably couldn't have imagined that things would turn out like this between you two! He treated you like that... are you heartbroken?"

  Xiao Cong Rong was silent and calm, this feeling was from the former Xiao Cong Rong, she didn't know what she would think!

  But in her past life, when Xu Zheng stabbed a knife into her abdomen, was she heartbroken?

  Recalling that moment's feeling, it seems like I was thinking: If you knew that what you killed wasn't just me, but also your own child, could you still live with yourself?

  No sorrow, no hatred, only ridicule... It turned out that at the moment he stabbed the knife into her body, her love for him was gone. That one knife cut off all connections between them, and she didn't even bother to hate, so how could she be sad?

  "I'm not heartbroken!" Xiao replied calmly: "Because... it's not worth it! I would be heartbroken if I still liked him... but I don't even like him anymore, so why should I be heartbroken?"

  "Good boy!"

  She thought she had spoken calmly, but the desperation of her past life still lingered in her tone, causing Chu Qingchuan to gently stroke the back of her hand with a pained expression, trying to convey his warmth to her.

  "What he holds... is just my liking, without these, how can he hurt me?!"

  Xiao Zongrong smiled faintly: "What can't be obtained is always the best! He's looking for me to go back now, not because he likes me more or really regrets it! It's just that he once had all my emotions, and now, in my eyes, he's nothing! He can't bear this sense of loss, wants to desperately conquer me, so as to find back the feeling of being high above me... Look, Xiao Zongrong, you can't leave me!"

  Men are just like this... Xiao Zongrong coldly laughed, haven't you seen enough in your past life?

  Her best friend was so played by a man, leaving her again and again, being coaxed back with sweet words, only to be hurt again. In the end, she couldn't bear the trampling of her emotions, stood on the rooftop of a commercial building, made a farewell call to her, and jumped down without hesitation...

  When she drove at a breakneck speed to get there, she saw from afar that she was drifting down like a kite with a broken string, and her heart sank endlessly...

  My hands were icy cold and my blood froze in an instant. Even now, thinking about it still sends shivers down my spine!

  What is love... Is it just being ignored and hurt again and again?

  Suddenly, a warm flow came into her palm, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw Chu Qingxiao with their palms facing each other, and that warmth was what he had transmitted to her.

  She was taken aback, but he said naturally: "Are you cold? Why are your hands so cool?"

  Xiao Zong looked at the two hands that were clasped together, his own delicate and small, his long and slender, almost being held in his palm.

  She didn't speak, staring at him, could he warm her hands and also thaw her long-frozen heart?

  It's not that she can't see his kindness, it's not that she won't be moved, but her heart has long been frozen, no longer feeling emotions, no longer loving. Who else can hurt her now? Who else can treat her feelings like trash... and casually discard them?!

  "Rong'er... I'm different from him!" Chu Qingxian sighed heavily, grasping her hand and his own, raising them to her eyes.

  "Don't look at me with his eyes! I'm different from him!" He declared this once again.

  "With your heart... the only thing I want you to promise me is... no matter what happens, please use your heart to see me! If I unintentionally hurt you, it's absolutely out of desperation, I don't want you to forgive me... I just want you to remember my true heart for you, forgive me once, just once... I will spend the rest of my life thanking you, loving you... just give me this one chance!"

  He leaned forward, half-kneeling in front of her, his lips kissing the back of her hand, and asked in a low, husky voice: "Will you promise me?"

  Xiao Congrong's mind rose with suspicion, and the male lead on TV dramas would say such things when they had done something wrong to the female lead. What did Chu Qingchao do to wrong her?

  She raised her eyes, meeting his gaze. The pair of eyes hidden under the thick black eyebrows were clear and deep, revealing a warm and profound love... as well as an irrepressible hint of guilt...

  Her heart sank for a moment, had he really done something wrong to her?

  She slowly pulled out her hand, peeling it away from the warmth bit by bit. She avoided his eyes and said with a hardened heart: "My life was saved by you, and when my fate was uncertain, I was also taken in by you. We can't talk about forgiveness or not forgiving each other! If we must say who owes whom... then I owe you, so there's no need for me to agree to anything... whatever you do, I have no right to blame you!"

  "Rong Er!" Chu Qing cried out anxiously, her voice trembling with fear: "You're saying this means you won't forgive me?"

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Zong Rong despaired and closed his eyes, he really did something wrong to her!

  Her heart suddenly started aching and spread throughout her body at an unexpected speed, leaving her feeling weak all over and wanting to find a place to be alone.

  For the first time she hated her legs for being unable to walk, otherwise she could stand up and push him away!

  Don't see him and don't want to know what he did that needs her forgiveness!

  "Rong Er, just once... won't you even give me one chance?"

  Chu Qingcang suddenly grabbed her hand, holding it tightly, as if he would lose her forever the next moment she relaxed.

  Xiao Congrong suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him, saying slowly: "If you are my friend, no matter what you did wrong, I will give you a chance, not just once, but many times!"

  Chu Qing's eyes revealed a hint of joy, but Xiao Zong ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

  "If you were the one I chose to spend my life with, then this chance I won't easily give to you... What do you want to be to me?"
