Chapter 1445 - 1612: You Are Different, Do You Understand?
Chu Mucheng’s words instantly warmed Tao Zhixiang’s heart a little.
In fact, Tao Zhixiang really minded...
That night when she ended up with Chu Mucheng was not beautiful. To Chu Mucheng, wasn’t she just another woman who threw herself at him?
Back then, in Chu Mucheng’s mind, she probably wasn’t any different from those women, which led to the scene where Chu Mucheng gave her a card and a house.
At that time, she felt that all her dignity and pride had been trampled underfoot.
Later, her mother fell ill, and Chu Mucheng helped pay the medical expenses...
Given the situation, she indeed owed Chu Mucheng!
He paid for the medical expenses, and even her place to stay was provided by him...
At that time, Tao Zhixiang really felt that her life was... truly a dark abyss.
Who doesn’t want to stand clean and bright in front of the man they love?
Who doesn’t want their souls to be on equal footing?
But from the beginning, between the two of them... it was never equal!
Simply because she had always loved him, but... he didn’t know!
But in such circumstances, how could she even begin to confess her love for him?
Back when she fainted and Chu Mucheng took her to the hospital, the young nurse said Chu Mucheng was her boyfriend, and she hurriedly denied it because he wasn’t her boyfriend at all, and she didn’t want Chu Mucheng to misunderstand that she was trying to cling to him.
Yet, at that moment, Chu Mucheng appeared at the door.
Tao Zhixiang still remembers that Chu Mucheng looked very upset then.
Later on, Chu Mucheng’s attitude toward her... seemed to start changing bit by bit.
When did it start?
She couldn’t say for sure, but she remembers the time when Chu Mucheng picked up her phone and wanted to save his number, but it needed a password.
She wanted to take the phone back and enter the password herself, but Chu Mucheng insisted that she say it aloud.
When she shyly pronounced her phone password, she was truly... embarrassed.
Because the password, 0920, was Chu Mucheng’s birthday, which she had used... for so many years.
How could Chu Mucheng not be familiar with that number?
At that moment, Tao Zhixiang felt that Chu Mucheng seemed to have sensed something!
Of course, he wasn’t a fool!
Yet, the feelings she harbored for him, she still couldn’t bring herself to voice them.
There was a time she only kept this affection tucked away in her heart, never imagining that one day there would be more to her story with Chu Mucheng.
After all, the two of them weren’t even from the same world, were they?
But fate, with its twists and turns, still brought her to him, and then, it became unstoppable... until... it turned into the situation it is now.
Tao Zhixiang gazed at Chu Mucheng in front of her, and in her clear eyes, tears seemed to shimmer.
Chu Mucheng squinted his eyes.
"Why... are you crying again?"
Tao Zhixiang shook her head, not knowing what to say, just stretched out her arms, and wrapped them around Chu Mucheng’s neck.
Even without words, Chu Mucheng could still feel her current vulnerability.
He took a deep breath, gently kissed her cheek, and whispered in her ear, "Those words, don’t take them to heart. You’re different, understand?!"
Chu Mucheng’s words softly landed in her heart, as if stirring layer upon layer of ripples on a pond after rain.
