The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 82
byChapter 82 I only believe in you
“Let’s take a walk.”
After walking out of the suffocating building, Lu Qingrang’s voice sounded at the right time, breaking the silence between the two.
“Yeah.”
Xu Wen responded in a low voice, still hanging his head, silently following Lu Qingrang half a step behind.
The setting sun spread its afterglow over the streets, and the cool evening breeze lifted their hair and gently fluttered their crisp suits.
After all, the climates in City A and Lin City are different. Lin City has entered winter at this moment, but the chill here always comes late, and even the evening breeze is somewhat mild.
The two walked silently along the sidewalk, one behind the other.
Xu Wen’s mind was very confused, very confused.
He didn’t know what to say.
Everything that happened this afternoon was like a heavy hammer that shattered many of his naive assumptions.
He needs time to reassemble his understanding of the world.
“I’m sorry.”
An apology fell into Xu Wen’s ears without warning.
“?”
He raised his head suddenly, and his chaotic thoughts were shattered by these words.
He looked at the still upright back in front of him and said nothing. He just pursed his lips and waited quietly for the next step.
“I didn’t think carefully, Xu Wen.” Lu Qingrang’s voice was low. He did not look back, his eyes fell on an unknown point ahead, “I knew what you would see, but I still insisted on bringing you here.”
He paused for a moment.
“I’m afraid.” He finally said, “You always think too well of people and are not on guard against anyone. I’m afraid that one day, I didn’t catch it and you were deceived.”
“What should I do?”
The evening wind blew past, making his subsequent low-pitched words somewhat blurry.
“You had such high expectations, but in the end you witnessed such a scene.” He continued, “Xu Wen, the world is not black and white. If we want to move forward, you have to see and experience these grays with your own eyes.”
“So, I’m really sorry.”
Lu Qingrang stopped when he heard the footsteps behind him.
He also stopped and still didn’t look back.
After a brief silence, Xu Wen’s voice came from behind with stubbornness:
“Brother Lu, don’t do this.”
“It’s not you who should apologize! It’s them who are wrong, not you!”
He paused, with a bit of annoyance in his voice: “If you really want to say this, it’s my turn. I didn’t help you at all today, and I almost screwed it up.”
After the words fell, the air fell into silence again.
Lu Qingrang still had his back turned to him, motionless.
Xu Wen looked at Lu Qingrang’s twisted expression, and he couldn’t tell whether he was anxious or distressed.
Can this guy stop fighting alone all the time?
It’s obvious that I’m the one whose mind is in a mess, and it’s me who needs to be sorted out!
He was heartbroken, since it didn’t make sense…
Xu Wen took two small steps back, secretly gathering strength under his feet, and shouted:
“Brother Lu! Stand firm!”
Before he finished speaking, he jumped up like a small cannonball and accurately jumped onto Lu Qingrang’s back. He wrapped his arms tightly around his neck and hung up.
Lu Qingrang staggered forward due to the sudden impact, grunted, and subconsciously moved his hand back to hold him firmly.
“Xu Wen, really, it’s me.” Lu Qingrang’s voice was low and filled with self-blame.
Before he finished speaking, Xu Wen raised his hand and covered his mouth.
“Okay, okay, no more apologies!!” He lay next to Lu Qingrang’s ear, with a commanding tone, “Hurry up, nod your promise! I’ll let you go if you don’t say anything!”
Two men in crisp suits, in such a slightly funny posture, with one holding his back and the other covering each other’s mouth, formed a strange scene under the darkening sky and the dawning street lights.
After a few seconds of stalemate, it was Lu Qingrang who finally compromised first.
He nodded slightly.
Only then did Xu Wen let go of his hand with satisfaction, hugged his neck honestly again, and lay on his broad and stable back with peace of mind.
“Brother Lu, when we become bigger and stronger in the future,” he murmured in a low voice with a hint of pity, and began to count in details, “The first one is to arrest Nangong Chen, the second one is to lock his wife next door to him, and listen to their quarrels every day. And the third one… arrange for Director Wang to be locked up next door to them!”
The more he spoke, the more energetic he became, mumbling to vent his dissatisfaction, and all he said were childish and harsh words.
The warm breath followed his every word, blowing over Lu Qingrang’s ears and neck.The warmth fell on the skin, and with the rhythm of his words, Lu Qingrang’s ears and neck were slightly red.
Lu Qingrang turned his head, rubbed Xu Wen’s arm on his shoulder, and responded meekly:
“Okay.”
Xu Wen got even more excited after hearing this response, and kept mumbling on his back:
“Brother Lu, that Lao Deng pretends to be like that, huh.”
“Brother Lu, do you know? When you poured water on the table to write today, you looked so handsome! How did you come up with this trick?”
“Brother Lu, can you teach me how to act cool?”
His topics jumped around, sometimes indignant, sometimes full of admiration, and he muttered in Lu Qingrang’s ears incoherently.
Lu Qing let him speak and listened quietly to these thoughts.
The messy thoughts that were blocking his mind were soothed by Xu Wen’s indifferent noise.
He was planning to carry him back to the parking place when he suddenly noticed that the person on his back became quiet.
The arms around his neck tightened unconsciously, and a warm weight pressed heavily on his neck. Xu Wen buried his entire face into the crook of his neck.
All the warm breath sprayed on the skin, causing a slight shiver.
He heard Xu Wen say in a very low voice:
“Brother Lu, these are too complicated.”
“I will pay more attention and learn to distinguish, so don’t be afraid.”
“From now on, I will only trust you.”
Lu Qing paused slightly.
An uncontrollable smile surged up. The internal friction that had been tossed and turned before seemed so ridiculous now.
He never expected that he would wait for such a sentence, so sincere and so sure, hitting the softest place in his heart without any bias.
His heart was beating violently in his chest, making his eardrums buzz.
He couldn’t help but laugh lowly.
With a little force on his hands, he deliberately pushed the person on his back upwards.
“Huh?!” Xu Wen exclaimed, subconsciously tightening his arms and tightening his legs.
Lu Qingrang suddenly started running with him on his back.
The evening wind passed by their ears, blowing their hair flying.
Xu Wen was startled at first, and then he couldn’t help but laugh too. He had to hug his neck tighter and bury his face in his solid back.
Through the backs of each other, Lu Qing let the smiling voice come steadily:
“Got it.”
