Chapter 9: Confession under the Voice of Heaven 01
After that day, I never saw Le'ou again. Although I kept looking for him, he seemed to be avoiding me on purpose. He didn't come to school, his cell phone was turned off, and he wasn't at home. Just as I was desperately calling him anxiously, Bai Yuanyuan rushed in from outside the classroom.
"Xiao Ye, something bad has happened! Le Ou... Young Master Le Ou is going back to China. His flight is at 11 o'clock. Xiao Ye, hurry! Go to the airport quickly!"
Leo is going back to China?
Is he really angry?
Seeing your girlfriend hugging your best friend, no one can help but feel angry and sad...
But, Leo, why don't you listen to my explanation?
Although I really don't have any reason to explain that incident, but... at least let me apologize, Leo, at least let me apologize to you in person...
I followed Bai Yuanyuan like crazy, hailed a taxi and headed straight to the airport, but it was too late. Even though I rushed into the waiting hall desperately, I only saw Le Ou's back as he was escorted by the butler and bodyguards into the security checkpoint.
That lonely figure, as fragile as an ice flower and full of sadness...
Is it really Leo?
"Le Ou!" I shouted at the back, regardless of the strange looks from people around me.
I don’t want him to leave with such a lonely back, no!
"Leo! I'm sorry! Although I don't expect to get your forgiveness, but at least listen to me say 'I'm sorry' before you leave! Leo, I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."
I shouted with all my might, hoping that this voice could reach Le'ou's heart, that my apology could reach his heart, and soothe his loneliness...even if it's just a little bit...
Because he is the kindest Leo, the kindest person in the world!
"Xiao Ye..." Bai Yuanyuan pulled the corner of my clothes fearfully, tears flashing in her eyes, "Xiao Ye, you're going to shout again! If you keep shouting, your voice will become hoarse , Xiao Ye..."
“Classmate Nian Gao, you made Le Ou cry. If you make my pet cry again, I won’t forgive you! Stop yelling. Le Ou is gone. He can’t hear you.” Duanmu Jimu appeared from nowhere, pulled Bai Yuanyuan away from me, hugged her into his arms, then looked at me and said, “If you have time to do this, you might as well take good care of your face. You don’t look good to begin with, and with a sunburned face, even ghosts will be afraid of you!”
Did Leo cry?
Did I make you cry?
I... turned out to be a devil. I actually made Leo, who was as kind as an angel, cry...
I dropped my hands dejectedly, gasping for breath, and tears dropped one by one, falling on the floor at my feet, making a "tick-tick" sound.
"Don't cry..." Someone patted my shoulder from behind. I raised my head and met Ximen's dark eyes. He looked at me quietly, with a trace of barely perceptible heartache on his beautiful face, and said with some difficulty: "It's not your fault..."
Five words, Master Ximen actually said five words in one sentence! I should have screamed with excitement, but I really couldn't laugh. I knew he tried very hard to say this sentence to comfort me, but I couldn't be happy, because as long as I thought of Le Ou crying because of me, my heart would hurt like a needle.
"Don't blame yourself. Simon is right. It's not your fault. It's my fault. Everything is my fault. I knew you were Le'ou's girlfriend, but I still couldn't control myself and did that..."
This time it was Duanmu Jichu's voice. It turned out that he was also at the airport. I followed his voice and searched for a long time, and finally saw him leaning against the bulletin board.
He was wearing a black casual suit and a baseball cap. He looked across the crowd at me and said, "Don't blame yourself. I am sorry to Leo. It's my fault."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Although you said it was all your fault, do you know, Duanmu Jichu, maybe my heart had already betrayed Le Ou long before you hugged me, long before I was nervous because of your drowsiness !
So, it's not your fault.
It was me, the one who made Leo cry.
I didn't dare go to school anymore, because I was afraid to see the empty table next to me and the desk that seemed to still have the atmosphere of Leo. They pierced my heart like sharp blades, making me feel so painful that I couldn't control myself.
I was also afraid to face Duanmu Jichu, afraid to see his eyes full of guilt, afraid to see his expression becoming colder day by day, and even more afraid to hear him say "it's all my fault" again.
A week after Le Ou left, I received a call. The voice on the phone sounded tired, yet extremely familiar. He said, "Xiao Ye, I like you more than anyone else! But... let's break up... Xiao Ye, let's break up..."
Xiaoye, let's break up...
I held the phone, unable to utter a word, my hands trembling slightly: "Leo..."
That’s right, it was Leo. He finally contacted me and finally talked to me…
But why did he say such words?
I don't know how long it took, but I finally found my voice, but it was trembling beyond recognition, and tears were streaming down my face: "Leo... I'm sorry..."
"Don't say sorry to me. I've heard it many times at the airport and I don't want to hear it again. Xiaoye, it's me who didn't see it clearly... No, it's me who I haven't dared to admit it..." Le'ou's voice was very low. I never thought he would speak in such a lonely voice. "It's me who I haven't dared to admit that the person you really like is Ji Chu. It's me who I haven't dared to face the reality... I thought that as long as I could be with you forever, you would definitely fall in love with me over time... But now I finally understand that you like each other . So, let's break up, otherwise we will all continue to suffer..."
"Leo..." I said his name and choked up, "I'm sorry..." That's all I could say.
"Okay, Xiaoye, don't cry, otherwise I will be sad... Don't cry, I like the way Xiaoye smiles... Although I may never see it again in the future..." Leo paused here, "Xiaoye, I will be appointed as the crown prince soon, will you be happy for me?"
Leo is about to be appointed as the crown prince...
A kindhearted crown prince like him with a shining smile will surely become an excellent king in the future.
I wiped my tears and sniffed hard: "Happy, of course I'm happy for Leo! Because even if we're not boyfriend and girlfriend, Leo is still my best friend!"
"Well, that's enough. We'll be good friends and be happy for me. Just being like this, Xiaoye, will make me happy... As long as you're happy, Xiaoye, don't look sad anymore, don't cry anymore..." Le Ou sighed on the phone, "Because, compared to seeing Xiaoye crying, I'd rather leave Xiaoye... So, goodbye, Xiaoye, goodbye."
Goodbye, Leo, I also hope that you can be happy and show your smile as bright as a gem again in a distant country. Find a lovely girl to be your princess...
At that time, I will also silently bless you in my heart.
Bless you, Leo.
