"You are very strong. At least after encountering so many things, you can still face them with strength. In fact, perhaps I underestimated you a bit before; you are indeed different from those pampered princesses."
Xu Qian's words were light, but he spoke very seriously.
"I'm not strong. Actually, I want to escape. It's just that there's nowhere to run. Moreover, as I encounter more and more things, I know that this matter must be faced and resolved eventually. No matter what the final answer is, at least for now, I have to face it and bear some things calmly. Avoiding it is useless."
Thinking about what she had encountered only made Xia Xiaoyu's expression more bitter. Since entering Cherry Blossom University, it felt like a terrible nightmare. She tried time and again to wake up, but whenever she wasn't facing something terrifying, she knew it wasn't a dream.
In fact, she hoped that every morning she could still see the light projected from her bedside, just to see all the real objects around her, at least to prove that she was still alive.
"Do you believe me?"
Xu Qian looked at Xia Xiaoyu and said something inexplicable.
Xia Xiaoyu paused for a moment and then smiled: "Hehe, back then you asked me if there were ghosts in this world? At that time, I really didn't believe it because we had never seen one. But after thinking for a long time about everything I've encountered, I realized that since the first strange thing happened, I started to believe. So I believe you; you wouldn't lie to me."
"This will pass. Trust me, no matter how terrifying the things we encounter next are, this will pass. When the truth is revealed one day, will I still see the current Xia Xiaoyu?" Xu Qian put down his chopsticks and said earnestly.
"I don't know. I don't know what else I will encounter next. I don't even know if I can hold on. I don't know..." She had been tormented to the point of fear. If it weren't for that inexplicable belief supporting her or perhaps that desire to find answers driving her forward, maybe she would have already given up.
"Regardless of what happens, you must take care of yourself."
Xu Qian was very afraid to see those eyes. He also feared that something might happen to Xia Xiaoyu, as she was the only person in the world who made him feel that she was still alive.
"It will be..."
Xia Xiaoyu's smile was forced and bitter.
What would tomorrow be like? Who could know?
"I've been hungry all day, eat more..."
Xu Qian knew that Xia Xiaoyu didn't want to say much on this topic, so he cleverly shifted the conversation. His gaze towards Xia Xiaoyu revealed a lingering fear, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
No matter how well Xia Xiaoyu disguised herself on the surface, as a psychologist, Xu Qian could clearly see her inner exhaustion and fear.
The meal lasted until six o'clock. During this time, Xu Qian provided a lot of psychological counseling to Xia Xiaoyu, trying to help her untangle her emotional knots. However, he still didn't know how to approach such matters since they were things that Xia Xiaoyu had to face herself.
After leaving the restaurant, Xu Qian intended to escort Xia Xiaoyu to the University, but she refused. She wanted to walk there alone, hoping that being on the road would allow her thoughts to quiet down. There had been too many events in recent days; ever since Lin Xi's death, she felt as if she had entered a trap. She encountered so many inexplicable things.
Walking along the path, Xia Xiaoyu's mind kept recalling the events of these days, and there were many aspects she did not understand.
What exactly was Surin's identity?
When she referred to "her," was she talking about Wang Xiaojia?
Is this matter being manipulated by Wang Xiaojia behind the scenes, or is there something else at play?
There are just too many things, causing Xia Xiaoyu's thoughts to become completely chaotic...
