Chapter 751 - 759: Can’t Forgive Myself
Five years.
A person who disappeared for five years.
Alan had gone to look for Chu Xiaoge at her house, but Chu Xiaoge had only left her old address back home, so Alan found nothing.
All these years, there had been no news from her. She and Xiangsi once thought that Chu Xiaoge might no longer be alive.
Who could have thought that on such an ordinary morning, Chu Xiaoge would stand alive right in front of her?
Chu Xiaoge was stunned by the embrace. She had prepared to be scolded harshly but hadn’t expected Alan to suddenly hug her.
Moreover...
"Alan, do you recognize me?"
...
Choosing jade stones suddenly seemed less important. Shang Dongyuan specially arranged a room for the reunited sisters so they could reminisce properly.
The two sat by the bed, holding each other’s hands, with tears in their eyes.
The timid and shy Alan had now become bold and outgoing.
She fixed her gaze on Chu Xiaoge for a long time and then wiped the corners of her eyes. "I must hurry and share this news with Xiangsi! She’ll be overjoyed!"
She said as she took out her phone, pretending to call Ran Xiangsi.
Chu Xiaoge kept smiling at her, her eyes shimmering with tears, feeling immensely grateful.
Alan didn’t blame her, and Chu Xiaoge could see that Alan was genuinely worried about her.
She was really lucky to have such good friends...
Alan called Ran Xiangsi, but the call didn’t go through, leaving her a bit disappointed. "This international call always has trouble connecting, and given the time, Xiangsi might be taking care of her child. I’ll try contacting her later!"
Chu Xiaoge nodded, her demeanor very gentle and serene.
"Xiao Ge, where have you been these five years? Xiangsi and I searched for you for so many years and couldn’t find you! You didn’t even take your graduation certificate; what happened back then?"
Alan was an impatient person, and this hadn’t changed over the years. On the contrary, she had become even more headstrong with Lou Xining’s pampering.
Listening to Alan’s string of questions, Chu Xiaoge couldn’t help but tear up.
She bowed her head slightly, feeling reluctant to recall the events of that time.
"I’m sorry, Alan, for making you and Xiangsi worry about me..." Chu Xiaoge choked up, unsure of how to face Alan.
Whatever it was that made her hide for five years must have been the thing she feared most in her heart.
Betraying her own parents, betraying her friends – it all happened so fast that Chu Xiaoge’s young heart couldn’t accept it.
Even now, she couldn’t forgive herself.
Alan saw Chu Xiaoge crying and patted her shoulder before hugging her. "Do we need to talk about this between us? At first, Xiangsi and I were a bit angry, but when we found out that even your parents didn’t know where you went, we realized you might have really run into trouble..."
A friend’s understanding, no matter what, made Chu Xiaoge’s heart open up a bit more.
Some things, buried in her heart for too long, always need someone to confide in.
"Alan, I’ll tell you everything later. Right now..." She started crying again as she spoke.
Perhaps she had been feeling aggrieved for too long...
In the end, Alan also started crying with Chu Xiaoge and shared her own experiences over the years with Xiao Ge.
She knew Xiao Ge had unresolved issues.
But it didn’t matter; by sharing her own experiences first, Alan could naturally encourage her to open up completely, without any more secrets.
