Chapter 449: Wait for Me to Come Back
Guangzhou-Shenzhen City.
Light rain.
Molly stepped out of the crowded high-speed train station and looked around.
Today, she was different from usual.
She wore a beautiful goose-yellow long dress, her long black hair intricately braided with a piece of red silk. On her feet were a pair of spotless white sneakers, and at her waist hung a small black bag with a Q-version little Zhu Bajie charm swaying gently in the wind.
In the chaotic crowd, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Splash…
The fine rain fell on the pavement in front of her, creating ripples in the puddles. Under the dim sky, hurried pedestrians passed by her like a tide.
She waited in place for a long time but still did not see that person.
She slightly pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then opened the transparent umbrella in her hand, carefully avoiding every puddle as she walked toward the nearby bus stop.
By the time she boarded the bus, her little white shoes remained clean and tidy.
“Scan successful!”
She put her phone back in her bag and looked inside the bus.
There weren’t many people on this bus; the seats were quite empty. She casually walked to the second-to-last row by the window and sat down, staring blankly out the window.
The vehicle slowly started.
The fine raindrops, carried by the wind, fell on the bus window, slowly moving toward the back of the bus, leaving behind tiny beads of water, and the view through the window became increasingly blurred.
The driver pressed the music play button, and a soothing melody echoed inside the bus.
“Oh heavens…
Are you secretly watching the joke,
Knowing I still can’t protect her,
Letting us meet…”
Molly withdrew her gaze from the window and took out a mirror from her bag, carefully examining her reflection.
Her makeup was light but perfectly highlighted her delicate features. Molly herself didn’t expect that after putting on makeup, she could look so beautiful.
She didn’t know how to do makeup; today’s look was something she had secretly begged Zheng Zheng to help her with.
Her dress was picked out by Jiang Han after a long night of selection.
After confirming that her makeup was fine, she put the mirror back in her bag and turned to look out the window. In the distance, it seemed like a figure flashed by.
Molly blinked and opened the window a crack. Apart from the passing traffic, there were no other figures.
Closing the window, Molly shook her head and leaned her head against the glass, closing her eyes. It would take about forty minutes to reach the bus stop for the Baili Group, enough time for her to rest.
What she didn’t notice was that a figure had quietly taken a seat in the last row behind her.
“Oh heavens…
Please don’t secretly tell her,
That on countless quiet nights,
Someone is thinking of her…”
The figure sat silently behind Molly, watching her back, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, a small version of the Tai Chi symbol flashed at his fingertips. In the next moment, a sandalwood safety charm quietly flew from Molly’s bag into his hand.
A small knife appeared in his hand, and he lowered his head, slowly carving something on the back of the sandalwood charm.
In the empty bus, a sweet female voice came from the speakers, continuing to play…
“…I hope my efforts can catch up to her,
One day I can give her a complete home,
But if you arrange for someone else to have her,
I will bless her,
Oh heavens, don’t worry about me for now,
Just let her be happy…”
As the music faded, he finally finished carving the words in his hand and quietly placed it back in Molly’s bag.
For the remaining forty minutes, he simply watched her back, like her shadow, guarding everything about her in the darkness.
“Baili Group Station, arrived.”
The bus stopped at the station, and Molly slowly opened her eyes. She glanced at the sign outside, hurriedly stood up, and got off the bus.
In the hazy drizzle, she stood alone at the bus stop.
She stood still, looking around, her brows slightly furrowed.
With a soft sound, the bus doors slowly closed.
Molly turned her head, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the window seat she had just occupied, and she suddenly froze in place!
She saw a figure wearing a silly Zhu Bajie mask quietly looking at her through the window from the seat behind where she had just sat.
He reached out his hand and pointed at Molly’s bag.
The vehicle started again, merging into the central lane, and the figure wearing the Zhu Bajie mask gradually disappeared from Molly’s sight.
Molly finally came to her senses and ran to the edge of the platform, chasing after the bus. The rain fell on her from the slanting wind, soaking her dress. She stared blankly at the red taillights fading away, standing there in confusion.
She didn’t understand.
After a moment, she looked down and opened the bag at her waist. The familiar sandalwood safety charm lay quietly at the top of the bag.
On the back of the charm, beneath the name “Molly,” the two characters “wife” were still there, written with a pen.
What was different was that in the corner of this side, there were two more lines of text.
——”I’m sorry.”
——”Wait for me to come back.”
…
Baili Fatty sat in the back seat of the bus, swaying slightly with the bumpy ride. He gently took off the mask from his face, his eyes slightly red.
A shadow suddenly appeared in the seat next to him.
“Qiye, you’re awake?” Baili Fatty turned to see the familiar face, secretly wiping away the tears at the corners of his eyes, and asked.
“Just woke up. I heard you came to find Molly, so I followed to see,” Lin Qiye sighed. “Why not meet her? I think she wouldn’t care about your appearance.”
Baili Fatty shook his head. “It’s not about the scar… I just feel that I’m not in a position to give her happiness right now.”
Confusion appeared in Lin Qiye’s eyes.
Baili Fatty thought of Lin Qiye’s straightforward nature and helplessly explained:
“In the past, when I was still Baili Tuming, although I said I was just a kid from an ordinary family, in reality, no matter what I did, I had the Baili Group backing me. From childhood to now, I always thought I could protect everything I cherished…
But now, I realize I was wrong.”
He raised his head and looked out the window, slowly speaking: “If back in Gusu, I had really persuaded her to come back to Guangzhou-Shenzhen with me, she might have died under a missile or been killed in the pursuit of the Baili family. If I had really taken her to meet Baili Xin, she wouldn’t have been able to walk out of Guangzhou-Shenzhen alive…
I almost caused the girl I like to die because of my ridiculous confidence.
I’m too weak, weak enough that if something really happened, I wouldn’t even have the strength to protect the girl I like.”
He took a deep breath. “So, until I feel I’m qualified to marry her, I won’t disturb her again.
When I stand in front of her next time, I hope I have become the person who can protect her for a lifetime.”
