Chapter 599 I’ll Come Find You
She took another glance at her wet doll at the side, her red eyes seemingly becoming mistier than before.
“Mommy, Rainy wants Dolly,” she miserably said. Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter’s small face. “Don’t worry. Mommy will be able to return the doll to you soon.” She walked in front of a shelf and took out a new doll from inside. It was the doll that Du Jingtang gave to Rainy. The doll in her hand was new while the one at the side was evidently way older.
She walked next to Rainy and then squatted down, placing the doll into Rainy’s hand. “This doll will keep you company for now. The other doll is tired. Mommy will give it back to you in a while, okay?” She placed her hands on her daughter’s face, wiping away her tears. Rainy tightly hugged the doll in her arms and then firmly nodded her head.
“When Rainy’s tired, she has to sleep. Now that Dolly’s tired, she has to sleep as well.” That’s why Rainy would let Dolly take a good nap. She placed the clean doll in her arms before her eyes, finally letting out a sweet smile before playing with the doll on her own.
It was only then that Xia Ruoxin stood up and picked up the doll on the table. The clothes of the doll were already drenched to the boot; there was even mud on top of it. This doll was just like her daughter: it was dogged by bad luck.
She walked into the restroom and carefully washed the doll clean. Then, she hung it there. Maybe it’d be a little better after it dries. Just then, she shuddered and lowered her head, finally realizing that the clothes she wore had gotten drenched. There was even water dripping from her hair.
“Achoo…” She sneezed, feeling a little unwell. She hastily walked out and changed into clean clothes, and then she found some flu medicine and drank it down.
She couldn’t fall sick because she didn’t want to pass her flu to her daughter. Gripping the medicine bottle in her hand, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of inexplicable anguish well up in her heart. It seemed like after coming here, she forgot how to smile.
She just wanted her life to be a little simpler, but it seemed like she had to face these complicated things all her life. She placed down the bottle of medicine in her hand and walked out, preparing to keep her daughter company.
Upon opening the door, a man stood inside the room, inevitably making her a little stunned. Gao Yi… it had been so long since they last met.
He sat next to Rainy and placed his hand on her forehead.
“Gao Yi, you’re back.” Xia Ruoxin hastily walked over. Gao Yi smiled at her. “Sorry, recently, I’ve really been too busy. I’ve neglected both of you. Although he was smiling, it seemed like there was something constantly shimmering in his eyes, but nobody could see it clearly.
“Ruoxin, your hair’s wet. Did you get drenched in the rain just now?” He stood up as he spoke. He walked over, and in a few steps, he already stood in front of Xia Ruoxin.
“This…” Xia Ruoxin touched her hair that was still wet and then shook her head. “I wasn’t drenched. This was because I showered just now. That’s why it hasn’t dried.”
“Oh, so it was that.” Gao Yi lowered his head and picked up a clean towel from the sofa. Then, he gently dried her hair with the towel. “Why didn’t you blow your hair? What if you fall sick?” The tone that wasn’t filled with blame made Xia Ruoxin heave a sigh of relief. That incident… it was still better not to let him know about it. Hiding it from him would probably be better. She really was afraid, afraid that he would do something for her sake.
Gao Yi helped her to dry her hair. It was just that Xia Ruoxin didn’t see that look of disappointment and hurt that flashed across Gao Yi’s eyes.
He put down the towel and then sat next to Rainy, pulling her small body into his embrace. Her eyes were still red, just like a rabbit’s. Extremely pitiful but unbelievably adorable at the same time.
“Rainy, tell Daddy, where’s your doll? Why did you change it?” There was seemingly a deeper meaning to his question. Rainy lifted her head and glanced at Xia Ruoxin first. Then, she looked back at Gao Yi again, faintly wrinkling her small face. She seemed to still be a little vexed.
Xia Ruoxin’s hands were filled with a layer of perspiration.
“Rainy got Dolly wet so Dolly’s resting now.” As she spoke, she let out a sweet smile. Then, she lowered her head again and hugged her new doll. Mommy didn’t want Rainy to tell Daddy about it. That’s why she had to listen to Mommy.
Gao Yi’s eyes faintly shimmered. Then, he stood up and walked to Xia Ruoxin’s side. He placed his hand on her shoulder and firmly pulled her close to him.
“Ruoxin, I’ll come find you tonight.” His voice was extremely soft, almost as if he was repressing something. Xia Ruoxin’s body froze for a moment, and her mind went blank. She understood what he meant-she really did.
“I’ll come over,” said Gao Yi before bending down and giving Xia Ruoxin a kiss on her face that had no warmth to it. His lips were very cold, and so was her face. Xia Ruoxin’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Gao Yi had already left, but it was only after she heard the sound of the door lightly shutting that she regained her senses. She reached out her hand and caressed her own face. There was, surprisingly, a faint stinging sensation on her face.
She lowered her head and pulled Rainy into an embrace, seemingly wanting to let her daughter who couldn’t understand anything give her some courage to face the things that were about to happen.
Rainy strangely tugged at Xia Ruoxin’s sleeve. Then, she lightly struggled a bit. “Mommy, you’re hugging Rainy so tightly.”
Xia Ruoxin hastily let her daughter go and pinched her small cheeks. “Mommy knows.” Rainy smiled sweetly. Children were always so lighthearted and carefree. It was just that, on the contrary, adults had to face many things.
Between her and Gao Yi, something had seemingly changed. Things had changed so much that she didn’t know how to deal with it. She still preferred her life in the past. Could they really not go back to how they were before?
At night, she coaxed Rainy to sleep. It took a lot of effort for Rainy to finally fall asleep, and in her arms, she was hugging her new doll. Her favorite doll had yet to dry, and she wasn’t accustomed to life without her doll. Therefore, she ended up sleeping late.
Perhaps because she was really too tired. When Xia Ruoxin read the third fairytale to her, she finally fell asleep.
After Rainy fell asleep, Xia Ruoxin carefully and quietly stood up, afraid that she would wake her daughter who was in deep sleep.
She closed the door and sat on the sofa outside. The clock on the wall showed that it was eleven o’clock at night. It was so late already; was he still going to come? It was very quiet outside, and she could seemingly hear her own heartbeat. It was somewhat nervous and somewhat repressed. She reached out her own hands and opened them, only realizing then that her palms were practically filled with perspiration.
