Chapter 383 Open your heart
Chapter 383 Open your heart
Xue'er hurried back to where Bai Chen parked his car with her things. Bai Chen was leaning against the car door, looking in the direction of Xue'er's house. The building over there was very dilapidated. He could vaguely see a few people, most of them were idlers or elderly people. He looked down at the time. Why hadn't she come back yet?
Just when Bai Chen was getting anxious, Xue'er ran over breathlessly with something in her hand, "Doctor Bai, you must be anxious waiting! I'll chat with my mother for a while longer."
"No, are these all the things?" Bai Chen asked in confusion, looking at the small suitcase in Xue'er's hand.
After hearing this, Xue'er blushed and said shyly, "I didn't have anything to take, just some toiletries. Mainly, I wanted to come back and say goodbye to my mother. I'm sorry."
"Why are you saying sorry?" Bai Chen discovered that Liu Xue especially loved to say sorry, as if she thought everything was her own fault. To put it bluntly, she was just very insecure. Every time Xue'er said sorry to him, he would feel distressed unconsciously. This girl was too weak and must be so insecure!
"Actually, I came back because I was worried about my mother, not to get anything. I lied and caused you trouble again." Xue'er said in a low voice with her head down, worried that Bai Chen would hate her.
However, Bai Chen said nothing. He took the small box from her hand and said, "Get in the car!"
Then Bai Chen put Xue'er's things in the trunk, and found Xue'er still standing there, and said again: "Get in the car!"
Xue'er timidly opened the back door and was about to get in when she heard Bai Chen say, "I don't have the intention of being a driver for others."
Xue'er was confused and didn't understand what her master meant. Bai Chen looked at her innocent expression and said helplessly, "Sit in the front row."
"Oh." Xue'er responded and sat in the passenger seat.
Bai Chen got in the car and looked at Xue'er but she didn't drive. When Xue'er was wondering, Bai Chen leaned over and reached out his hand to touch Xue'er's side. Xue'er was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She said in a trembling voice: "Bai, Doctor Bai, what are you going to do? I, I'm not a casual woman."
Bai Chen wanted to tease her, but when he saw that she treated him as a pervert, he gave up the idea and said seriously, "I am not a casual man either."
"Then, then you still..."
"I'm helping you fasten your seatbelt."
"Ah! Is that so! I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now." Xue'er opened her eyes instantly after hearing Bai Chen's words. The other party was indeed fastening his seat belt. She felt like she was wrong again, so she apologized.
Bai Chen frowned, turned to look at Liu Xue, and said seriously: "Xue'er, I don't know what you have been through, why you are so cowardly, don't say sorry to me all the time in the future, you haven't done anything wrong, and you haven't caused any trouble to anyone, understand?"
When Xue'er first looked at Bai Chen's expression, she thought he hated her, but when she heard his words, her heart seemed to come alive. She had always been very cautious, fearing that others would dislike her because of her poor family background and lack of education.
She had made friends a long time ago, but whenever there was friction in their relationship, it was always her fault. Once she didn't admit her mistakes, the other party would distance themselves from her. The same was true at work. She shrank herself to the most inconspicuous corner, but there were still frictions, and she still had to admit her mistakes every time. Over time, admitting mistakes became her habit in getting along with others.
But today someone said that she was not wrong and she didn't need to apologize. Xueer felt that years of grievances had finally been vented and that she had finally met someone who understood her. Thinking about it, Xueer's tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
Bai Chen panicked when he saw this. He clumsily helped Xue'er wipe her tears. "What's wrong? I don't mean to blame you! I just want to tell you that you did nothing wrong. Stop crying."
Xue'er's tears kept falling. Bai Chen was completely helpless and his heart ached. Finally, he patiently hugged Xue'er in his arms, stroked her back and said, "I don't know why you are crying so hard. If you want to cry, then cry! It will be better after you cry! I'm here with you."
Bai Chen's comfort undoubtedly warmed Xue'er's heart. She herself couldn't remember how long it had been since someone had comforted her. No matter what she had been through, she had to bear it all by herself. It felt so good to have someone comfort her today. She really wanted to stay in Bai Chen's arms and never leave...
After a long time, Bai Chen felt that the person in his arms had calmed down a lot, so he lowered his head and lifted up Xue'er's shoulders, and said gently: "Alright?"
"Well, thank you, Dr. Bai." Xue'er nodded slightly with red eyes.
"Then let's go back! You can't cry anymore. People who don't know would think I bullied you." Bai Chen said jokingly.
"Don't worry! If someone misunderstands you, I will explain."
"That's good, let's go home."
"it is good."
After crying, Xue'er became more sympathetic and seemed much more cheerful. At least she was not as cautious as before.
After the two reached a consensus, Bai Chen started the car and drove home. Halfway there, he suddenly asked, "Xue'er, do you have enough supplies? Do you need me to take you to buy some?"
"It's enough. I don't like to dress up or wear clothes. It's enough to have something to change into." Xueer said.
"You are in your prime years, how can you not love beauty? What's more, you work in a bar, don't you require it?" Bai Chen asked curiously. The girls around him all invested in their beauty in various ways.
"Doctor Bai, do you think that I work in a bar and do that kind of job?" Xue'er asked frustratedly. If someone else mentioned this, she would never care, but for some reason, she just didn't want Doctor Bai to misunderstand her.
Bai Chen could tell Xue'er was unhappy and quickly explained, "No, there are many jobs in a bar. I know you have a serious job."
"How did you know?" Xue'er's eyes lit up and she asked mischievously.
"Intuition. So what do you do?"
"I'm a cleaner, the kind who just works without showing up."
"Why? You're pretty!"
Bai Chen's words made Xue'er blush. She turned her head to look out the window and said slowly, "Every time before going to work, I will deliberately make myself look ugly. I am used to being alone and I am not good at communicating with people. But the salary in the bar is so high and I need money to support my family, so I took the risk to work there."
"I have been doing well, but this morning I forgot to make myself look ugly and a customer stared at me. The scene you saw happened, and then I was fired." Xue'er became more and more relaxed as she spoke, as if she finally had someone to talk to after many years. She slowly began to open her heart to Bai Chen.
