Chapter 482: Signing A Verbal Contract With Chu Xia
‘A girl?
‘Kidnapped?’
Su Yang was confused. ‘How did she manage to kidnap a girl so quickly? Are cute children so likable nowadays?
‘No, that’s not right! Are all girls nowadays so silly?
‘Who could she be?’
Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, a pleasant and familiar voice sounded from outside the door. “Su Yang? Are you alright? I’m here to see you.”
‘Is that… Chu Xia?’
Su Yang was stunned when she heard Chu Xia’s voice. ‘Why is she here? It should be class time now, shouldn’t it? Didn’t she never skip class?’
Su Yang said to Janet, “Open the door, Janet.”
“Understood.” Janet went to open the door.
Chu Xia was stunned when she saw a beautiful foreign woman approaching behind Su Yang’s room. She quickly greeted her politely.
Tang Xiaomi was still the smarter girl. She explained in a coquettish voice, “This is Janet, our butler.”
Janet nodded. “My master has invited you inside.”
Chu Xia nodded. “Thank you.” Then, she walked in.
Tang Xiaomi followed behind with her short legs, trying to sneak in. However, Janet grabbed her collar and dragged her out.
Looking at the closed door, Tang Xiaomi glared at Janet fiercely and said angrily, “What are you doing?! Why didn’t you let me in? I even helped you and Su Yang out of the situation just now to explain your identity!”
Janet’s face was expressionless. “My master didn’t say to let you in.”
Tang Xiaomi was speechless.
…
Actually, Chu Xia did not know what she was feeling at that moment. When she heard Su Yang saying that he was just joking and that he was fine, Chu Xia knew that… Something must have happened to Su Yang.
Even though she did not know what happened to Su Yang, she knew that it must have been something serious.
So even if the bell for class had rung, even if Chu Xia never skipped class and never lied, she still found a reason to run.
As Chu Xia left, both the teacher and students were surprised. That was because during the first semester of Chu Xia’s first year in University, she had never skipped class. Even if she was sick, she would usually attend classes along with her sickness. She was a true “good student”, but on that day, she suddenly skipped class?
And the excuse she gave was so poor as well. She told the teacher that she had a stomach ache.
Hmm… that kind of excuse was an insult to anyone’s intelligence. Countless people have used that excuse. Nowadays, not only girls, even guys have been using that excuse to skip classes…
When she arrived at Su Yang’s villa, Chu Xia wanted to give Su Yang a call. However, perhaps because Chu Xia had entered the villa with Su Yang before and acted intimately with him, Chu Xia had vomited heavily that day, so it was easy for her to leave an impression. Therefore, the security guards in the villa allowed her to enter after a few questions.
When they arrived at Su Yang’s villa, Chu Xia pressed the doorbell. Soon, a cute little girl’s voice was heard through the walkie-talkie. “Hello, who are you looking for?”
Chu Xia was stunned and almost thought that she was in the wrong place. She asked, “Excuse me… is this Su Yang’s house?”
The little girl said, “Yes.”
Chu Xia replied, “Oh… I’m Su Yang’s classmate. Is Su Yang at home? I have something to discuss with him.”
The little girl hurriedly said, “He’s in. Please wait a moment.”
Then, the door slowly opened.
Due to the fact that she had been to Su Yang’s house before, Chu Xia walked across the lawn with ease and arrived before the villa. At the entrance of the villa, a little girl was standing there, looking at her curiously.
Chu Xia walked over and squatted down. She asked curiously, “Hello, are you Su Yang’s relative?”
The girl shook her head. “I’m his daughter.”
Chu Xia was confused.
Chu Xia sized up the little girl. ‘She looks about 5 or 6 years old while Su Yang is only 18 years old. It’s impossible for him to have a daughter at his age.
‘This little girl is probably joking, I shouldn’t take her seriously.’
She smiled and changed the topic. “Why didn’t you confirm my identity before letting me in? What if I’m a bad person?”
The little girl looked adorably at Chu Xia, “Mommy said that a beautiful girl can’t be a bad person.”
Chu Xia couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh. She felt that this little girl was really cute. She liked her from the bottom of her heart.
Then, the little girl brought Chu Xia up to the second floor and came to a room. She knocked on the door and Su Yang’s voice came through…
…
When she entered the room, she caught sight of Su Yang who was lying on the bed and looking in her direction. However, his eyes were completely unfocused.
At that moment, Chu Xia felt a jolt in her head. ‘Could Su Yang really have gone blind?’
She walked to Su Yang’s bed and sat down. Then, she touched Su Yang’s face.
Su Yang felt the warmth of Chu Xia’s hand and smiled. However, his eyes were completely gray. “What’s the matter?”
Chu Xia’s nostrils flared, and her voice cracked. “What the h*ll has happened to you..”
Su Yang replied softly, “I’m fine. I’m just blind temporarily.”
Chu Xia whispered, “How can this be temporary? Stop lying to me.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘I’m not a liar, why am I so untrustworthy?
Chu Xia looked at Su Yang’s haggard face and then at his lifeless eyes. Her eyes turned red as she recalled Su Yang’s high-spirited manner in the past. As she recalled Su Yang’s smiling eyes, her tears began to fall uncontrollably.
She felt a little sad. In her eyes, ‘Su Yang isn’t considered to be handsome. However, his delicate face and his smiling eyes makes it easy for people to get attracted to him.
‘This is probably why I got to know him on our first day of school…
‘It’s also the reason why he had shamelessly asked for leave from me, hoping that I could help him hide the truth, that was also why I agreed to do it.
‘And now… the light in those eyes are gone.’
Perhaps sensing the abnormality of Chu Xia, Su Yang reached out to touch the side of the bed and held her hand. It was summer at that moment, but Chu Xia’s hand was cold, hence it was obvious that the girl was really upset.
At that moment, Su Yang felt a drop of hot liquid dripping on the back of his hand. He raised his head in a daze and his hand traced along Chu Xia’s arm all the way to Chu Xia’s small and delicate face. It was all wet.
Chu Xia’s face was full of tears…
Seeing that Su Yang realized that she was crying, Chu Xia could no longer hold it in. She stopped crying silently and threw herself into Su Yang’s arms. She cried loudly to vent the sadness in her heart.
She cried so sadly that it broke one’s heart.
Hugging Chu Xia’s frail body, Su Yang felt the damp clothes on his chest. He gently patted Chu Xia’s back and comforted her, “Alright… Alright… I really am okay. I’m fine, really.”
In Su Yang’s embrace, Chu Xia tried her best to hold back her cries as she shook her head. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. But I really couldn’t help it.”
She was truly heartbroken. Although she knew that with Su Yang’s current family background, it would not affect his life even if he could not see it in the future. However… Su Yang was a human, a living being!
‘Who would want their body to be damaged? Who would want to never see anything again?
‘This isn’t something that can ever be exchanged with money!’
Chu Xia’s heart ached at the thought that Su Yang would never be able to see again.
Su Yang patted Chu Xia lightly. Perhaps it was because they were so close to each other, but Su Yang seemed to be able to understand Chu Xia’s feelings. He couldn’t help but feel a lump in his throat.
“Sigh…” Su Yang sighed as he recalled the remaining position of the [Absolute Verbal Contract]. ‘I don’t think there are any more slots left.’
Su Yang scratched his head. ‘What should I do now…’
He thought for a moment and shouted, “Janet, let Xiaomi in.”
Outside the door, Tang Xiaomi and Janet were still staring at each other. She was like a little hen guarding her territory, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at Janet.
Janet, on the other hand, was like a statue. His hands were crossed on his stomach, and he stood at the door with his eyes closed, completely ignoring her.
The 2 of them reacted differently when they heard Su Yang’s voice.
Tang Xiaomi looked as if she had won and shouted excitedly, “See, See! He’s calling me, he’s calling me now.”
Janet replied in his deep female voice, “Yes, Master.”
As he said that, he opened the door and carried Tang Xiaomi by her collar as he dragged her into the room.
Chu Xia looked at Tang Xiaomi in confusion and then at Su Yang. She couldn’t even be bothered to cry anymore.
Tang Xiaomi was placed on the ground. She looked at Chu Xia’s reddened eyes and tear-stained eyes. She leaned over and whispered, “Pretty sister, did Su Yang bully you?”
Chu Xia shook her head with a smile and said softly, “No…” Although she said “no”, from her nasal tone, it seemed like she was saying the opposite…
Su Yang sat up and turned to look at the two of them. Then, he coughed and said in a serious tone, “I hope that the two of you can give me a promise. What I’ve shown you, what I’ve said and all the secrets that I can’t let outsiders know, you can’t mention or record them to show anyone, ever.”
Hearing Su Yang’s solemn words, Chu Xia was stunned for a moment before asking, “Su Yang… What do you mean?”
Su Yang shook his head. “Promise me first. I can only explain to you if you do.”
As Su Yang was very serious, Chu Xia could only nod and say, “I promise.”
Tang Xiaomi said coquettishly, “I promise too, but…”
She paused for a moment before turning her head to ask Chu Xia softly, “But why is Su Yang speaking so seriously to the air?”
Su Yang was speechless
Chu Xia and Janet were speechless as well.
Indeed, Su Yang was talking to the air seriously, but that was because he could not see. Therefore, when he sat up, his direction changed a lot…
Su Yang coughed to hide his awkwardness. “Alright, since the both of you have made a promise, I’ll believe you 2. Janet, show Chu Xia what you’ve got.”
“Yes, Master.”
Hearing Su Yang’s words, Chu Xia turned to Janet curiously.
Then, her pupils constricted and she covered her mouth…
