Chapter 253: Satsuki
Leng Hao stood in the night, his eyes like torches, staring at the seemingly weak woman. Reason told him that he should not have anything to do with this woman, but his heart did not listen. He saw that this woman's face was three or four points similar to his sister's, and his heart couldn't help but soften.
"Don't thank me, you follow me, if you lose it, I'll ......" Leng Hao's voice was cold, with a majesty that could not be resisted. He paused deliberately to make the woman feel pressured, and sure enough, the woman nodded nervously, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Childe, I won't cause trouble to Childe." The woman whispered, with a hint of firmness in her voice. She knew that only by following this man closely now could she ensure her safety.
Leng Hao stopped talking, turned around and walked into the darkness. The woman followed closely behind, not daring to fall behind. In the night, the figures of the two melted into the darkness and disappeared into the street corner.
After walking for a while, Leng Hao suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the woman: "What's your name?" ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Leng Hao to suddenly ask this question. She lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then replied, "My name is Satsuki." ”
Leng Hao's footsteps stopped at the door of Xiao Yue's house, and he watched Xiao Yue knock on the door eagerly, and a complicated emotion surged in his heart. He knew that although this woman was not related to him by blood, what happened to her made him feel the same way. He stood aside, quietly waiting.
"Dad, mother, open the door!" Satsuki's voice was crying, and she called anxiously outside the door, her hand kept knocking on the door, as if that would knock on her parents' stubbornness and misunderstanding.
However, the sound from inside the house was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the hope in Satsuki's heart. "Get out, we don't have a daughter like you in our family, and we have a private meeting with a foreign man in the middle of the night." Satsuki's father's voice was cold and hard, full of anger and disappointment.
Satsuki's body stiffened, and she couldn't believe her ears. A flash of unbelievable pain flashed in her eyes, which was replaced by anger. She raised her hand and wanted to knock on the door again, but Leng Hao gently grabbed her arm.
"Don't knock, they won't open the door." Leng Hao's voice was low and full of sympathy. He looked at Xiao Yue's eyes and knew that her heart must be full of grievances and helplessness.
Satsuki's tears swirled in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth to keep them from falling. She knew that her father was a stubborn man, and once something was decided, the nine cows would not be able to pull it back. She turned to Leng Hao, and a glint of pleading light flashed in her eyes.
"I ...... What am I going to do? Xiao Yue's voice trembled, she knew that she couldn't just give up, but she also understood that her strength was too meager.
Leng Hao took a deep breath, he looked at Xiao Yue, his eyes were full of determination. "Don't worry, I won't leave you alone with all this. I'll help you, and we'll figure it out together. His voice was firm and warm, like a bright light in the night sky, illuminating the confusion in Satsuki's heart.
Satsuki's tears fell, and her heart was filled with gratitude. She didn't know Leng Hao's identity, but she knew that this man was her nobleman. On this strange and cold night, he gave her warmth and hope.
Leng Hao took Xiaoyue to an inn, he arranged a quiet room for her, then sat on the edge of her bed, and said softly: "You live here, I paid for a year's house, which should be enough for you to support you until you get a job." ”
Xiao Yue listened to Leng Hao's words, and her heart was mixed. She knew that Leng Hao was planning for her, but the more he was like this, the more she couldn't bear to let him face the ups and downs of the outside world alone.
Leng Hao stood up and prepared to leave. Xiao Yue's heart suddenly swelled with fear, she hurriedly grabbed Leng Hao's sleeve, and there was a tremor in her voice: "Childe...... Don't go...... I'm afraid ......"
Leng Hao turned his head, looking at the fear and reluctance in Xiao Yue's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. He sat back on the side of the bed, patted the back of Xiao Yue's hand gently, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm nearby, and I won't go too far." You can always come to me when you need me. ”
Satsuki's tears welled up again, she knew that Leng Hao was comforting her, but she also understood that his world was so different from hers, and she didn't want to be a burden to him.
"Childe, I'll get a job, and I'll prove to you that I'm not the kind of person you think I am." Xiao Yue's voice was firm, and she knew that she had to be strong and independent in order to live up to Leng Hao's trust in her.
Leng Hao smiled slightly, he looked at Xiao Yue, his eyes were full of encouragement: "I believe in you, Xiao Yue." You can do it. ”
After saying this, Leng Hao stood up and prepared to leave again. Satsuki held his hand tightly, her eyes full of gratitude.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Satsuki got up. Her heart was full of gratitude to Leng Hao, and she wanted to do something for him to express her gratitude. She went to the kitchen to boil hot water, and carefully carried the hot water back to Leng Hao's room.
Leng Hao had woken up, and he was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching Xiao Yue come in, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He looked at the hot water in Xiao Yue's hand, and couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. He knew that this was Satsuki's concern and gratitude to him.
"You don't have to be like this." Leng Hao's voice was gentle, with a hint of distress. He didn't want Satsuki to do this for him, he wanted her to take good care of herself and find her own life.
Xiao Yue smiled slightly, her eyes were full of determination: "Childe, Xiao Yue is willing to serve Childe." Childe's great kindness to Satsuki, Satsuki has nothing to repay, so she can only express her gratitude in this way. ”
Leng Hao looked at Xiao Yue and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart. He knew that Satsuki was a grateful woman, and his kindness and tenacity made him admire.
"Well, then I'll be disrespectful." Leng Hao smiled slightly, he took the hot water in Xiao Yue's hand and said softly.
Xiao Yue looked at Leng Hao, and her heart was full of joy. She knew that her mind had finally been conveyed to Leng Hao. She looked at Leng Hao drinking water, and couldn't help but feel a burst of satisfaction in her heart.
Xiao Yue looked at Leng Hao's handsome face, and there were some ripples in her heart. She had never seen him so closely, his features delicate, his brows revealing an inviolable coldness, but at the same time, there was a kind of tenderness and compassion. Her heart beat involuntarily, and her cheeks quietly flushed.
She was in a trance, but her feet accidentally slipped, and the whole person lost her balance and fell towards Leng Hao. Leng Hao reacted quickly and immediately reached out to catch her so that she would not fall. The bodies of the two made contact in an instant, and Xiao Yue felt that Leng Hao's arm was solid and powerful, and her heartbeat became even more intense.
The two of them looked at each other, and their breathing was a little heavier. Satsuki's eyes widened, and her eyes flashed with panic and shyness. A hint of surprise also flashed in Leng Hao's eyes, but he quickly covered it up, he held Xiao Yue steadily, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”
