Before he experienced what happened yesterday, he didn't feel anything about giving Jiujiu's heart to that person. But yesterday, he suddenly realized that Jiujiu was so vivid, like an oil painting painted with color, very vivid.
How should he put it? It was probably the first time that Jiujiu made him feel that Jiujiu was also a person, a living person.
What should a living person be like?
People had independent thoughts, and even their own independent actions, as well as their own love and hatred.
Before last night, Li Jue didn't think like this at all. He felt that Jiujiu was an object, a storage device to store the heart of the woman he liked, an object that he could possess and throw away whenever he wanted.
But now, he didn't realize that he had already regarded Jiujiu as a person.
However, he had only been with Jiujiu for a day. Even if Li Jue already felt that Jiujiu was a person, it was impossible for him to let go of Jiujiu and not cut out Jiujiu's heart.
After all, he had liked that woman for more than ten years, but he had only known Jiujiu for a day or two.
Even if it was love at first sight, it couldn't be compared to family members who had been with each other for more than ten years, not to mention that he still liked that woman.
Giving up that woman for Jiujiu was putting the cart before the horse.
Li Jue took the phone and listened to the butler talk about Jiujiu's forced smile and lonely back view. A moment later, he said that he would come over in the evening and hung up the phone.
Jiujiu went upstairs directly after eating and then sat on the bed in a daze. She didn't even eat lunch.
When Li Jue came back, the butler immediately went up to him. As he took the clothes that Li Jue took off, he whispered to Li Jue that Jiujiu didn't eat much today.
Even though he had already realized that Jiujiu was alone in the morning, after a day of work, Li Jue's heart hardened again. When he heard the butler say that Jiujiu didn't eat much, Li Jue's first reaction was not whether Jiujiu's body could take it if she didn't eat. Instead, he thought about how Jiujiu's heart would be affected if she didn't eat much.
Li Jue didn't allow anything that was harmful to the heart. Therefore, even if Li Jue didn't eat, he went upstairs quickly and strode towards Jiujiu's house.
The sky in the mountains always got dark earlier than outside. Even if Jiujiu's house was facing the sun, it was already dark. Looking in the light in the corridor, he could only see that Jiujiu was curled into a small ball like a hedgehog...
Li Jue walked into the house.
He had instructed the butler to prepare Jiujiu's house. The pink bed sheets were very girly, and there were cute cartoon dolls. Even the floor was covered with a thick plush carpet. Stepping on it was as comfortable as stepping on clouds.
Li Jue was wearing leather shoes, but it didn't make any sound when he stepped on it.
Li Jue walked to the bed and sat down. He looked at Jiujiu, who had curled her head between her legs, and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
Li Jue's sudden voice made Jiujiu, who had been curled up into a ball, tremble and then shrink into an even smaller ball.
Li Jue looked at Jiujiu's curled up ball and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
Jiujiu still curled up into a ball and didn't answer, but Li Jue could hear the low sobbing in her voice.
Li Jue reached out to hold Jiujiu's arm and pulled Jiujiu's head away from her legs. After looking at Jiujiu's swollen eyes, he was stunned. The anger in his heart couldn't help but lessen a lot, and even his voice unconsciously became gentle. "What's wrong?"
Jiujiu raised her hand to wipe her eyes, but because her eyes were red and swollen, her skin was extremely sensitive. She still had a lot of strength, and her mouth instantly made a hissing sound.
Jiujiu's eyes also fell with a swoosh.
Because the light in the house was relatively dim, Li Jue turned on the light and looked at Jiujiu's swollen eyes and haggard face. His heart softened a lot again.
Li Jue looked at Jiujiu and asked in a gentle voice, "Why aren't you eating?"
"I've caused trouble for Mr. Li again." Jiujiu said guiltily.
If Jiujiu's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky before, then at this moment, Jiujiu's eyes were like a fire drenched by rain. There was no light at all, and it was dark and lifeless.
Li Jue was used to Jiujiu's kind eyes. It was the first time he saw Jiujiu's lifeless appearance. Even Li Jue himself didn't realize that he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Li Jue took out a tissue and handed it to Jiujiu. He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. We should have gone to find your brother earlier."
"It's okay." Jiujiu shook her head slightly. "Mr. Li saved me and is willing to help me find my brother. I should thank Mr. Li. How can I blame you?"
Jiujiu's considerate appearance made Li Jue's heart feel more and more uncomfortable. He couldn't even make a sound.
Jiujiu didn't wait for Li Jue's answer. She stared blankly ahead and muttered to herself, "Mr. Li, you may not know, but my brother is very obedient. When we were kicked out by my uncle, my brother comforted me. He said that as long as the two of us were together, the place would be home, and everything would be fine."
At this point, Jiujiu's tears fell uncontrollably, and her voice became choked with sobs.
"When I wanted to drop out of school and work to earn money, my brother also, also told me that it was a pity that I didn't go to school since my grades were so good. How about he not go to school and earn money to support me?"
"My brother is only an eight-year-old child. He said that he wanted to earn money to support me, but I didn't take good care of him." Jiujiu said, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
In the past, Jiujiu's cries were soft sobs with her lips pursed. She was like a little kitten that was full of remorse. However, at this moment, Jiujiu seemed to have lost all hope in life. She was in extreme despair and was crying with her life.
Li Jue looked at Jiujiu, who couldn't stop crying. There was a moment of hesitation in his eyes. He reached out to comfort Jiujiu, but when he thought that he was the one who brought this disaster to Jiujiu, his hands couldn't reach out.
Li Jue's hand stopped in mid-air, and after a long time, he slowly withdrew it.
Li Jue looked at Jiujiu, but it was as if he was looking at another person through Jiujiu.
She always had a noble smile on her face, just like a high and mighty princess. Even he was like a lowly knight in front of her, willing to give up everything just to get a little bit of favor from her.
Jiujiu and she had the same parents, but because of their family, they had endless opportunities. Life was indeed a very wonderful thing.
