She Wants to Be a Salted Fish

The body is surrounded by a warm and firm embrace.

It was... Dad's arms.

I don't know why, but the tears came out on their own, which was very disappointing and quite embarrassing.

She had never cried before.

Why was she hugged by him like this...

She really doesn't want to cry...

Chu Chengxian gently stroked Chu Ci's back.

"Come on, cry, a daughter can cry in her father's arms."

This is not the saddest day for Chu Ci.

But it was the most vulnerable day for Chu Ci.

Because Chu Chengxian gave her the safest and most secure place for her - her father's embrace.

Early the next morning, Chu Chengxian led Chu to resign to a place.

In the courtyard, stood a tall, slender young man with his back to them at first.

After Chu Ci and Chu Chengxian approached, the man turned around.

Xie Yi? How is he here?

Chu Chengxian explained: "I told him to come. I think he wants to explain to you face to face about some things."

Explain to her?

Chu Ci looked at Xie Yi suspiciously.

Xie Yi lowered his eyes, feeling that he had hidden a lot of thoughts.

Chu Chengxian left the courtyard and left the space to Xie Yi and Chu Ci.

After Chu Chengxian left, only the two of them were left in the quiet courtyard.

After being quiet for a long time, Xie Yi said slowly: "Chu Ci, I'm sorry for you."

It's not loud, but can be heard clearly in a quiet room.

"Xie Yi, what are you talking about?" Chu Ci brightened his eyes.

"I owe you something."

"What are you talking about? I owe me? We..."

"I've known you for a long time, three years ago."

Xie Yi's voice was low and his eyes were inexplicably sad.

Chu Ci was confused.

"three years ago?"

"Your adoptive parents...that car accident...originally...was aimed at me."

Xie Yi finally revealed the secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Chu Ci trembled.

That car accident... was a past that Chu Ci didn't want to mention.

On that day, she lost the two people who loved her most in the world.

The perpetrators of that car accident have long been convicted and the matter has long been buried.

Xie Yi looked at Chu Ci's pale face and was full of guilt.

"Those people came at me back then, but accidentally hit your car." Xie Yi confessed to Chu Ci, "If I didn't get out of the way at that time, you would be fine."

At that time, when the car rushed towards Xie Yi's car, Xie Yi escaped with his flexible operation and quick response.

But the result was that the other party's car hit the car behind him.

Xie Yi escaped, but Chu Ci's family was killed.

For the death of Chu Ci's adoptive parents, he has to pay a lot of responsibility.

Xie Yi looked at Chu Ci with guilt, the seeds of guilt sprouting and growing in the past three years, crawling all over his heart.

Xie Yi's words brought Chu Ci back to that day.

Her mother's warm body protected her and held her tightly in her arms.

Warm blood flowed from the mother's body, falling on her hands, body, and face.

As time passed by, the mother's body gradually became cold.

And her own body temperature is gradually cold, and her consciousness is blurred.

The memory made Chu Ci's face pale.

Seeing such Chu Ci, Xie Yi's eyes filled with distress.

"I'm sorry." Xie Yi apologized, "I've only told you now that I have never had the courage to confess to you, probably because I still have some selfishness hidden in my heart."
