Chapter 210 Awake
Mu Xiaoyu stayed by Li Chenxu's side all night, but due to the excessive stress she experienced the previous night, she couldn't hold on until Li Chenxu woke up and fell asleep by the bedside.
Having stayed up all night, Mu Xiaoyu, whose health was not particularly good to begin with, now had obvious dark circles under her eyes, and even in her sleep, her brows were tightly furrowed.
Li Chenxu stared at Mu Xiaoyu for a while, but did not touch her as usual.
He knew how Mu Xiaoyu felt when he was stabbed by the kidnappers last night, just as he felt when he learned that Mu Xiaoyu had been kidnapped last night.
It was a feeling that could not be described in words. Mu Xiaoyu told Bai Luo that Li Chenxu was her life, but for Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu was also his life.
Upon learning that Mu Xiaoyu had been kidnapped, countless thoughts raced through Li Chenxu's mind. Each one weighed heavily on his heart, making it almost unbearable.
Especially when he saw Qiangzi holding a knife to Mu Xiaoyu's neck, Li Chenxu even had the urge to kill Qiangzi.
Even now, that thought has never disappeared.
However, more than anything else, Li Chenxu felt regret.
He regretted his impulsive actions earlier, realizing he hadn't listened to Mu Xiaoyu's explanation and had plunged them into a cold war. If he had stayed by Mu Xiaoyu's side before this happened, things probably wouldn't be like this now.
The thought of the fright Mu Xiaoyu had suffered made Li Chenxu feel far more pain than when Qiangzi stabbed him.
She was the one he wanted to cherish and protect, the one who said he liked her and loved her, yet in the end, he was the one who hurt her...
At this moment, endless regret spread through Li Chenxu's heart, making his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu increasingly tender and self-reproachful.
When Mu Xiaoyu woke up, the first thing she saw was this kind of look.
Because she had just woken up, Mu Xiaoyu was still a little disoriented. She slightly raised her head, looked at Li Chenxu in front of her, and after a while, she came to her senses and choked out, "You're finally awake..."
She wanted to tell Li Chenxu that she was really scared to death by him, but when she saw Li Chenxu wake up, she wanted to cry. She was so vulnerable that it was not like her at all.
Li Chenxu suppressed his emotions, and upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears that had seeped from Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, saying with a guilty yet earnest tone, "I'm sorry."
Mu Xiaoyu was surprised to hear this from Li Chenxu, and was somewhat bewildered.
"I shouldn't have treated you that way that day, nor should I have said those things to you. If it weren't for my domineering attitude, none of this would have happened. Xiaoyu, I'm sorry."
A man like Li Chenxu was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, a true prodigy. Mu Xiaoyu didn't know what Li Chenxu was like as a child, but she could guess that he had never apologized to anyone like this before.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't think of anyone else who could make him bow his head and apologize except herself.
Actually, none of this mattered to Mu Xiaoyu.
Why should two people in love care so much about right and wrong? Especially after experiencing life and death last night, Mu Xiaoyu cares even less.
All she wanted was for Li Chenxu to live a good life. All she wanted was for the two of them to live out their lives peacefully and safely.
So when Mu Xiaoyu heard Li Chenxu's apology, she suddenly smiled. She took Li Chenxu's hand and said, "It's all in the past now, but Brother Chenxu, promise me, if something like this happens again, can we sit down and talk it over?"
Both of them are strong-willed people, but they are both willing to make changes and compromises for each other.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's expectant look, Li Chenxu's heart softened completely. He nodded, his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu becoming even gentler.
"I promise you... if something like this happens again, I promise I won't do it again..."
He couldn't bear to see Mu Xiaoyu like she was yesterday...
Upon receiving Li Chenxu's reply, Mu Xiaoyu smiled again. However, seeing Li Chenxu's still somewhat pale face, the smile on her face gradually faded.
Thinking that this incident was caused by her, involving not only Bai Luo but also Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu felt extremely guilty.
She glanced at Li Chenxu and couldn't help but whisper, "Brother Chenxu, are you angry with me?"
Why are you suddenly saying this?
Li Chenxu became even gentler towards Mu Xiaoyu at this moment, especially when he looked into Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, which were full of tenderness that was almost overflowing.
Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoyu had her head down and didn't notice this at all.
“These people were sent by Mu Pengzheng. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been injured, and Luo Luo wouldn’t have been captured… I wonder if Luo Luo and I will ever be the same again after this…”
Mu Xiaoyu doesn't have many friends, but she cherishes each and every one of them. Especially Bai Luo and Song Yin; she originally thought they could hang out together forever, but now this has happened…
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu instantly understood what she meant. He reached out and gently pinched Mu Xiaoyu's chin, forcing her to look up at him.
One person's eyes were gentle yet possessed a reassuring power, while the other's carried a rare hint of bewilderment.
"Xiaoyu, I think you should understand. In this world, if someone truly loves and likes you, when something like this happens, their heart won't be filled with blame or distance, but with worry for you. If Bai Luo really breaks up with you because of this, then you're better off without this friend, do you understand?"
As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. If Mu Xiaoyu were an bystander, she would easily see the situation clearly.
Unfortunately, she was directly involved in the situation, and because she cared deeply about Bai Luo, she was extremely worried.
Hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly realized the truth.
The thought of how she had acted like a child made Mu Xiaoyu feel a little embarrassed. She secretly glanced at Li Chenxu, whose gaze was still gentle, completely devoid of his previous domineering and authoritarian demeanor.
Mu Xiaoyu liked Li Chenxu like this. Her heart stirred slightly, and she unconsciously grabbed Li Chenxu's hand, whispering, "If you look at me like that again, I won't be able to control myself..."
