Chapter 27: Take Care (2)

It was almost the end of the lunar calendar year, and Yao Yao had to show up for all kinds of social events. Despite her desire to return home early, it was already midnight when she got home.

Huo Konghe was waiting for her in the dining room. In front of him were two servings of curry pork chop rice and her favourite tomato beef soup.

Yao Yao ate heartily. She was so insensitive that she didn’t notice Huo Konghe’s lifeless voice.

The flight was early the next morning. For once, the two of them didn’t do anything. After checking Huo Konghe’s luggage and taking a shower, they went to bed.

“I’ll go with your father to send you off tomorrow morning.” Yao Yao lay in his arms and Huo Konghe hummed softly in reply.

Yao Yao thought that he was feeling gloomy because he couldn’t bear to leave her, so she stuck her head out and kissed his lips, which were a bit cold.

“Come back when you’re free. Also, I’ll visit you when I have the time to,” Yao Yao said with a smile.

Would you really?

Seeing that he remained silent, Yao Yao’s heart skipped a beat and she felt a chill in her heart, but she still forced a smile on her face.

“Aren’t you going to say something?” Yao Yao’s voice started to choke up as she spoke.

“You… You should take care and eat well.” Huo Konghe lowered his head, not daring to look into her eyes, afraid that his heart would soften.

“Is that all?” Yao Yao ignored the gazes of others and dived into his arms, forcing him to look at her.

Yao Yao’s eyes were red. Huo Konghe raised his hand, wanting to touch her cool face. In the end, his hand only landed on the top of her head, and he stroked her long hair.

“Take care,” Huo Konghe said firmly again.

Yao Yao was stunned. Was this… Was this it for the two of them?

The boarding call for Huo Konghe’s flight sounded, and his father also reminded him that it was almost time to leave.

Huo Konghe released his hold on Yao Yao, and said goodbye to his father, dragging his luggage with him.

Then, he walked up to Yao Yao, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

“Huo Konghe.” Yao Yao stopped the man who was about to leave.

Huo Konghe stopped in his tracks, and turned to look at her.

Yao Yao stared into Huo Konghe’s eyes and realised that he had really grown up. In the past, his emotions were all written in his eyes, but now, she couldn’t see anything except a pair of deep eyes.

Yao Yao clenched her jaw and looked at him as her eyes turned red. Then, she turned around and left decisively.

God knew how much Huo Konghe wanted to throw away his suitcase, then rush forward to hug her. However, he clenched his fists and walked into the security checkpoint.

Yao Yao, who had taken a few steps, stopped and slowly turned around.

Huo Konghe was no longer there.

Yao Yao wanted to cry, but she couldn’t because this was N Airlines and many pairs of eyes were looking at her.

On the way home, Yao Yao didn’t say a word. Huo Konghe’s father didn’t know what happened between the two of them, so he couldn’t give her any advice.

“Take care, Uncle. I’ll come to see you when I have time.” Yao Yao sent Huo Konghe’s father upstairs.

“Thank you, young lady.” Huo Konghe’s father patted her shoulder and hesitated for a while before saying solemnly again,

“Thank you.”

Yao Yao certainly knew what this “thank you” meant. She smiled in acknowledgment, then left.

The moment the car door closed, Yao Yao finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and broke down, sobbing loudly. She had never felt so upset before, not even when she broke up with her first love.

Yao Yao’s heart ached. She rubbed his chest with all her might, wanting to dissipate this heart-wrenching pain.

In the end, she cried until she felt nauseous. She opened the car door and staggered to the flower bed to retch, but nothing came out. 

Yao Yao took out her cell phone and called Jia Jia, but it was Qi Qi who rushed over.

Yao Yao had cried so hard that her vision turned dark. She had no idea who it was at all. She only knew that she was being picked up by someone. It wasn’t the smell of Huo Konghe, but a faint perfume mixed with the smell of tobacco.

She struggled a little and frowned, then called out Huo Konghe’s name hoarsely.

Qi Qi was stunned, but he still put her in the front passenger seat and drove off.
