Chapter 1139: He Was Still Her Shaoqian
She seemed to have forgotten about the wound on her foot and the pungent stench of pig droppings around her.
Lin Ziya smiled brightly and the warm current spread from her heart to the rest of her body.
She basked in this feeling that she had missed and she even felt as though the air had become fresher.
The glow cast by the setting sun made these two silhouettes seem very long and they seemed to overlap perfectly.
Chen Jiahang carried Lin Ziya on his back and carefully put her down on the field where the car was parked.
Then, he opened the car door and helped her into the backseat.
“Please be careful…” he reminded her as he got behind the wheel.
He drove very slowly as the car made its way toward the northern range and looked straight ahead at all times. He looked very focused as he drove along the road like a man who just obtained his license. He had been driving this way ever since his car accident the year before.
Lin Ziya pursed her lips and her cheeks were stained red as she stared at Jiahang, the man who she had been pining after for ten whole years.
She refused to believe that he no longer had any feelings for her.
Shaoqian was never a fickle-minded and changeable person.
The car stopped at a grain-sunning area.
Jiahang helped Lin Ziya out of the car but she still wasn’t able to walk so he carried her on his back.
“Shaoqian, are you tired?” Lin Ziya said softly by his ear. She knew that he was perspiring and there was already a large wet patch on his back. She could also see the tiny sweat beads on his neck.
“I’m fine!” Chen Jiahang said without even batting an eyelid. He didn’t have any issues carrying a woman who weighed less than 50 kilograms.
Lin Ziya rested her face against his left shoulder and luxuriated in the warmth from his body.
She remembered that when they were dating, she would always ask Shaoqian to carry her on his back whenever her feet hurt or when she didn’t want to walk and Shaoqian would always agree and carry her over a long distance.
She felt extremely joyous as though she had just eaten honey and she bit her red lips. She couldn’t stop thinking about the times when they had been deeply in love 10 years ago.
The more she reminisced about the past, the more she looked forward to the day when Shaoqian would be willing to open his heart to her and they can start anew.
Chen Jiahang reached his home 10 minutes later and it was a mudhouse that was commonly seen in the village.
He placed Lin Ziya down and dug out his key from his pocket.
Lin Ziya stood in front of the doorway to his house.
She knew that Jiahang had been living here for the past nine years but when she saw this house, she was still overcome with a sense of incredulity. She had never lived in such a dilapidated house since she was brought up with a silver spoon. She felt as though there were many mosquitoes that were constantly buzzing around her.
The bites they left behind were extremely itchy!
Lin Ziya quickly looked at her arm and spotted two mosquitoes sucking on her blood.
Chen Jiahang opened the wooden door and helped Lin Ziya into the house.
“Wait a minute, I’ll get the iodine and something to stop the blood,” he said as he headed into the room on the right.
Lin Ziya sat on the wooden chair and this was a chair that seemed like it was from the 80’s or 90’s. Production of such chairs had stopped some time ago. She looked at her feet and saw that she had sc.r.a.ped both knees and that her left knee was still bleeding. Her dress was also dirtied with patches of yellow and black and caked with mud and blood.
She wouldn’t be able to wear this dress anymore.
This house was simple but the walls were papered with wallpaper and the floors were lined with floorboards. It was also very neat and tidy.
