James stood by the helicopter, standing in the rain with a big black umbrella in his hand. His face was covered by the umbrella, so Xavier couldn't see the expression on his face at this time. The wind was big, and the big blades of the helicopter churned the air, which blew the black umbrella in his hand so hard, but he held it firmly. He stood still for a while before he lifted his foot and walked in the direction of Xavier and Elizabeth. It was raining hard. He walked step by step quickly, but his footsteps were steady. Elizabeth stuck her head out. At first, she narrowed her eyes slightly because the light was too dazzling. When she saw the helicopter in the open space outside the wooden house, she was stunned for a moment. Then she saw James who was walking step by step in the rain. She was shocked for a moment, and then smiled with joy. It was him! "It's James!" Elizabeth shouted excitedly and stepped out from behind Xavier, "James came here to pic
"What to do?" Xavier murmured. He seemed to be asking James, as well as himself. James smiled bitterly and said, "I know that you blame me, even if you..." He closed his eyes and put down his hand dejectedly, "In the final analysis, I owe you." After that incident, Xavier completely changed. He seemed to be crazy, but also was so depressive. He was in great pain. When he went abroad, he didn't talk about that thing to James's parents. He only said to them that he wanted to go abroad for further study. James was ridiculously wrong. He owed Xavier. Since he had done something wrong, it was impossible for him to turn back, because he couldn't change the fact that he had hurt Xavier, even if he regretted it and had apologized to Xavier. Over the years, he was shocked and couldn't believe it at first, and then he became regretful and blamed himself, and then he even tried to forget that incident. On the first year it happened, his pain was no less than Xa
In the narrow space of the helicopter, the atmosphere was a bit weirdly quiet. Elizabeth wanted to say something. But looking at James's gloomy face, she didn't dare say anything. Xavier sat there with his eyes lowered and there was a faint smile on his face. James held Elizabeth with one hand and stared at the space in front of him with his thin lips tightly pursed. Originally, he planned to borrow a few more helicopters from Benjamin, so that they could separate and find Elizabeth as soon as possible However, he was told that the weather was too bad and they didn't dare take risks. But for the sake of friendship, they still lend him a helicopter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to sit in the same helicopter with Xavier even though he was very angry. The speed of the helicopter was fast. It only took them a few minutes to go down the mountain, but James felt as if a few decades had passed. When they finally reached the foot of the mountain, James and El
"Yeah." James frowned hard, and his breathing suddenly became rapider. He clenched his hands into fists unconsciously and said with his lips trembling slightly, "What... did he say?" Elizabeth glanced at him and said, "His feelings in the past few years." As she said this, she sighed, "I didn't expect a person like him to have such a childhood, and he actually... wanted to commit suicide." James was shocked and stared at her, "Did he... tell you the reason?" Elizabeth shook her head, "No." Hearing this, James let out a big sigh of relief. "Do you know why?" The expression in James's eyes changed and he replied unnaturally, "I don't know much about it." Elizabeth didn't think too much and said, "Oh—" "Honey..." He grabbed her hand and moved his eyes from her hand to her face. "What's wrong?" Elizabeth looked at him, "Why do you grab me? Let go of me and take off your clothes." She had just finished unbuttoning his shirt.
Looking at James like that, Elizabeth only felt that he was so confused and helpless. She couldn't see his expression at this time because of his posture, but she could clearly feel his sadness and pain. He was just like a person struggling in the swamp and trying to get a chance to live. He was desperate, but also longing to be saved. She felt bitter and painful in her heart as if her heart was being gripped tightly by something. "No." She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said softly with a smile, "You are very good. There is no one better than you in this world." If it weren't for him, she didn't know what kind of a life she would be living. If she didn't meet him, she might have already lost her ability to love because of so much disappointment in life. Hearing this, James's hand on his face trembled slightly, and then he smiled, "Really? If I was really as good as you said, I wouldn't... have treated you like that just now." He would
The rain outside the window was getting smaller and smaller. James turned his head to look at the sleeping Elizabeth without blinking. His eyes were affectionate and complicated. Those words she said just now echoed in his mind again and again. He felt bitter and touched. Besides, he was very glad that although he was disgusting and mean, he had Elizabeth who was simple and innocent but could warm his heart. It was not until his eyes became a little sore that he closed them hard and relaxed a little. He got closer to her and gave her a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead. He silently smiled at her who was sleeping soundly, and then turned over lightly and got out of bed. He put on his clothes quickly and walked to the door. Before he closed the door, he looked back at her affectionately. He wanted to finish something in his heart. Otherwise, he would be in great pain and she would not be at ease because of his changeable mood. ...... The lights
James did not reply to him. He only smiled sorrowfully and said, "If I agree to your request, I hope... we can write off all our old scores." Afterward, they would live their own lives and did not mention those things again. Xavier did not speak. After glancing at James, he looked down. "Do you agree or not?" Hearing this, Xavier raised his head and stared at him. He did not say yes or no. After a long while, he whispered, "Is there any more cigarettes?" James frowned, took out a cigarette and a lighter, and handed them to him. In fact, Xavier seldom smoked, and he had not yet recovered from his illness. Therefore, he was choked and coughed violently as soon as he took a draw. However, he did not throw it away. Even though he was choked and felt hot in his throat, and he even coughed from time to time, he forced himself to finish smoking the cigarette. James stood aside and watched him, not saying anything to stop him. Although his heart was uneasy
After what happened last night, Xavier had the best sleep ever. When he woke up, he felt much better, but he was not in a hurry to get up. He lay on the bed, turned his head to look at the sky out of the window, and smiled. Then he turned to look at Zena who was fiddling with flowers with her back to him, and his eyes were much gentler. "Oh, are you awake?" Zena finished arranging the flowers and turned around, but she didn't expect that Xavier had woken up. She was stunned at first, and then asked apologetically, "Did I wake you up?" Xavier shook his head gently and said with a smiling face, "No." The rustle was very light. Zena walked over. Her long white dress bounced as she walked, looking light and graceful, "Are you hungry? I cooked porridge for you." She received the phone call from James in the small hours and knew that Xavier was ill. Fortunately, the hotel room was home-style and had everything. She made porridge for him in a hurry before coming
