Chapter 184: Disappointingly In Love With Him

Fang Yusheng asked again, “How old were you when you were here?”

“Thirteen, I think.”

Fang Yusheng became even more convinced that Qiao Jiusheng was “Third Girl.”

That girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old that year.

Both were of similar age, and their nicknames matched. Qiao Jiusheng could also open that phone. She was the girl from back then. There was no mistake about it.

With confidence, Fang Yusheng held Qiao Jiusheng’s hand and asked her, “Then do you remember that you once saved a blind boy?”

Pointing at the cave in front of him, he continued, “That boy suffered a very serious gunshot wound and had almost died. You secretly brought medicine to save him. When he had a high fever and couldn’t wake up, you poured buckets of water to cool him down. When he was hungry, you gave him food to eat. When his clothes were dirty, you used your pocket money to buy clothes for him. When he was in so much pain that he couldn’t take it, you hugged him and sang to him over and over again. When he was bored, you lent him your phone to play with.

“He had given up on himself and begged for death. He said that he was useless and living was meaningless. However, you promised him that you would go to the city he lived in to attend university. You said that if there was no meaning in living, he could try to treat you as the meaning of life.”

Fang Yusheng’s eyes gradually turned red.

Qiao Jiusheng was not stupid. She could guess who the boy Fang Yusheng was referring to.

She thought of something, and her heart suddenly ached.

Fang Yusheng thinks that I’m the girl who saved him. That’s why he suddenly changed his attitude and started treating me well.

What love for me, what first love, what promise for life… It was all his promise to the girl who had saved him!

Then what am I?

Qiao Jiusheng’s face turned slightly pale.

She shook off Fang Yusheng’s hand and turned to leave without any hesitation.

This stunned Fang Yusheng. His heart skipped a beat as he quickly chased after her. He reached out to pull Qiao Jiusheng, refusing to give up. “Ah Sheng, do you really not remember?” he asked again.

“Let go of me!” Qiao Jiusheng seemed to have been agitated as she struggled to break free of his hand. She looked up at Fang Yusheng, her eyes red. “Fang Yusheng, you’ve got the wrong person. Look carefully. I’m Qiao Jiusheng, not that girl.”

You have given the wrong person the care and love you gave me recently.

Fang Yusheng looked at her red eyes in shock.

Her eyes had suddenly turned red. This shocked Fang Yusheng so much that he could not hear the jealousy and anger in her voice.

After shouting those words, Qiao Jiusheng turned around and left.

At first, she walked, but as she went on, it became a little jog.

She was afraid that if she ran too slowly, Fang Yusheng would discover that she was crying.

Qiao Jiusheng refused to admit it. When she had learned that Fang Yusheng doted on her not because he loved her but because he mistook her for the girl who had saved him back then, her heart ached.

Yes, her heart ached.

Why was she in pain?

Because she had fallen in love with Fang Yusheng!

Fang Yusheng looked at her retreating back and could not help but doubt himself. Could I be mistaken?

It’s impossible. She’s the only person in the world who could open that phone.

After thinking it through, Fang Yusheng ran in the direction where Qiao Jiusheng had disappeared to and chased after her.

He ran all the way to the SUV before stopping. When he got there, he only saw Qi Bufan but did not see Qiao Jiusheng. Fang Yusheng frowned and quickly asked Qi Bufan, “Where is she?”

Qi Bufan was a little surprised. “Madam?” He said again, “I didn’t see Madam return.”

Fang Yusheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation. There were two forks on the small road. Fang Yusheng did not know where all the paths on the forks led to. He asked Qi Bufan, “Where do the other forks of the path lead to?”

Fang Yusheng had lived here for quite some time, but at that time, he had been blind. He did not know much about the surroundings. When he had been in trouble, Qi Bufan searched for two days on this mountain before finding the cave Fang Yusheng had been in. Hence, Qi Bufan knew exactly where the paths led to.

Hearing Fang Yusheng’s question, Qi Bufan answered, “One leads to the Dongshan wealthy district, and the other leads to an abandoned villa.” After a pause, he added, “That abandoned villa was once the private residence of our ambassador in Thailand.”

Fang Yusheng did not think too much about it. He nodded and said to Qi Bufan, “Got it. She can’t speak Thai. We have to find her quickly.”

“Okay.”

The two split up. Qi Bufan went to the wealthy district to find Qiao Jiusheng, while Fang Yusheng went to the abandoned villa.

The road along the fork was very narrow and covered with thorns. Fang Yusheng’s pants were hooked by threads. He passed through the long road and finally found the abandoned villa building.

This villa was not luxurious. It had only four floors and one courtyard. The villa was seriously damaged, a mark of war.

Ten years ago, a coup had taken place in Thailand. The civil war had lasted for three months.

In those three months, countless people had died.

During the coup, the country had organized an evacuation operation. Fang Yusheng had been brought back to China during that operation. Until now, the Fang family thought that Fang Yusheng’s gunshot wound happened because the rebels in Thailand had accidentally injured him.

Only Fang Yusheng and Fang Mu knew the truth.

This villa in front of Fang Yusheng was a sacrifice in the war.
