CHAPTER 25
The lower part of my body has never bled like this nor ever hurt like this. When I woke up, it was past noon again. I got up to see the bed damp with redness. I quickly got up to take a shower, washing away the smell from my body.

CHAPTER 25
The lower part of my body has never bled like this nor ever hurt like this. When I woke up, it was past noon again. I got up to see the bed damp with redness. I quickly got up to take a shower, washing away the smell from my body.
It’s been 6 years since they’ve seen each other. Xiao Qiu has clearly been hiding her hurt inside. Now that she meets Li Chuan again, the memories are going to rush right back. But Xiao Qiu is no longer that bright and happy 17 year old girl that Li Chuan left behind. Their reconciliation with each other doesn’t go off too smoothly.
Yup, Xiao Qiu is heading straight towards Li Chuan once again. However, a new “rival” has appeared on scene. I don’t think he’s going to pose much of a threat to Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu’s love though. She’s still got the same attitude towards other guys as before, even though Li Chuan has been gone for so long. Obviously, no one can measure up to him.
Xiao Qiu has grown up and is now ready to make her way through the working world. This path that she’s on will soon make her collide with someone she’s been forcing herself to forget. But first, we’ll see how well Xiao Qiu fares in the real world.
The picture above is of winter jasmines which flowers during the winter months. This chapter is the start of many more heartbreaks for both us and Xiao Qiu. Let’s try to get through it quickly, shall we?
We get to spend some time with Xiao Qiu’s family and see how they react to Li Chuan. He’s such a charmer, how can they resist? 😉
I find it crazy that she biked for ten hours to get to Kunming. But it definitely fits Xiao Qiu’s personality, not allowing anything to stop her from doing what she’s set her mind on. She also finally gets a chance to take care of Li Chuan in this chapter. A rare occasion!
This chapter opens the door a little more to Xiao Qiu’s upbringing. It, hopefully, answers some questions about why she seems mature for her age. I think I’m a little torn between understanding her dad’s actions in this chapter and supporting Xiao Qiu for following in his footsteps. Then again, this chapter setups up nicely for some more time with Li Chuan. 🙂
Xiao Qiu’s feisty spirit is clearly something that Li Chuan falls for, but it certainly makes things a lot more difficult for him. He tries to be Prince Charming, but sometimes he just runs into a wall with Xiao Qiu. I do have to say, Xuan Yin (the author) really likes to choose random references. I did not enjoy translating the songs/poems…etc in this chapter at all…
Mmmm…if a guy, such a perfect guy, made me clam chowder with a secret recipe. I’d be pretty happy too. 😉 And let’s see how much more awesome Li Chuan gets…
