Chapter 720: Lack of Confidence (1)_1
Gu Qingheng didn’t speak, but just laid his head in the crook of her neck, deeply inhaling the unique, delicate fragrance of her body. The unease and irritation of the past three days finally began to dissipate, and the emptiness in his heart that had lasted for three days was slowly being filled...
Yang Ruxin felt the fluctuations in his emotions and did not pursue her questions any further but simply allowed him to hold her, until he calmed down. Then she raised her head, "Gu Qingheng, are you scared?"
Gu Qingheng nodded, "I feel so useless. If only I could see and walk, then I could be with you. But now..." He laughed self-deprecatingly, "You don’t know, these three days without you, I suddenly became very afraid, very insecure. I was afraid you wouldn’t come back, afraid that you..." Even though he believed Xinxin had him in her heart, Xinxin was too outstanding for her own good. She probably didn’t realize it, but she possessed a kind of charm that made people want to be close to her unconsciously, to gravitate towards her.
He truly feared that someone better than himself would appear and take her away.
Yang Ruxin placed a hand on his lips and giggled, "Gu Qingheng, I should be the one with such thoughts. I was worried that, in these few days I was gone, someone else might have whisked you away... You can’t see, but those women look at you as if they want to swallow you up..." She pouted her lips adding, "Oh, and there’s a chubby girl in town who wants to keep you for herself..."
"No one can snatch me away except you," Gu Qingheng had calmed down and laughed along, "I only want you to keep me..."
"That’s more like it." Yang Ruxin laughed as well.
"But what if one day, you meet someone who looks better than me, someone more capable?" Gu Qingheng’s tone sounded a bit childish.
