She’s Hard to Get - C297 split travel
She didn’t want them to break up after a fight, and if she could, she would rather have their good times as memories of their lives.
“Wherever you want to go, we’ll leave now.”
Ouyang Jue knew that Ning Caier could understand him, but he might not forgive him. From the looks of the place that she was currently standing, it could be seen that she was more than a meter away from Ouyang Jue. Her arms were stretched extremely long, but he did not dare to take a step closer to him.
This seemingly casual stroll actually showed off Ning Caier’s subconsciousness. She did not want to get too close to Ouyang Jue, at least not as long as he could get close to her.
He knew that he had disappointed her, so he wanted to do his best to satisfy her other wishes. Currently, Xia Wanru was too busy to look for trouble with her, so as long as he could bring Ning Caier back to the Xu Family’s tower before nightfall, she should be fine.
“Really, will you really take me out?”
Ning Caier’s eyes flashed with a strange luster, it had been a long time since she had seen this kind of light, and it made his heart even more uncomfortable. She was once such a dazzling girl, but now, even walking out of this large courtyard was an extravagant request.
Xu Mengyun had once told him that the one who destroyed Ning Caier was not her mother Xia Wanru, but Ouyang Jue himself. His love for Ning Caier caused her to constantly compromise, until she completely drowned herself in this love.
Although her original design didn’t have any professional foundation, it had its own unique insight and unconcealable sharpness. Right now, her professionalism was rising bit by bit, but those manuscripts were really too grandmaster’s style. Ouyang Jue knew that this was a result of long-term professional training.
However, he could tell from her work that she was worried about something else. She was worried about too many things, so her work contained more restraint and concealment, which was not a good thing for a designer, because design was always a carefree profession, if they were only limited to the framework of the masses, then the things they designed would definitely become mediocre. As the CEO of the company, Ouyang Jue knew this better than anyone else.
“Of course it’s true.”
Ouyang Jue caressed Ning Caier’s head, then suddenly took a big step forward and hugged Ning Caier tightly. He could feel that she was struggling slightly, but he only wanted to hug her now, and during this period of time, he had a feeling that Ning Caier was getting further and further away from him. Even if he was to hug her, he wouldn’t be able to sense that they were blending.
Ning Caier showed most of her courtesy by giving him a hug and patting his back politely instead of hugging him tightly like a couple.
This feeling made Ouyang Jue feel that there was a huge gap between them, and at the same time, he also felt an extremely great sense of powerlessness. He was unable to protect her, and this was something that he had to admit to, even though he did not want to.
“Let’s hurry. I want to go to the beach.”
Ning Caier lightly pushed at Ouyang Jue. She only wanted to run now, and it would be best if she could merge her body into the waves, allowing the waves to carry her far away, because this trip was more like an escape from her grasp, allowing her to escape from all the shackles, even at the cost of her life.
Because the current weather was not suitable for swimming, there were not many people around the beach. Instead, it was more like Ouyang Jue’s and Ning Caier’s private beach, it was just that the sky was filled with haze and there was not a single hint of sunlight or beach.
The sea breeze caused the waves to roll continuously. It was not suitable for them to stick together too close, or else danger would befall them. Ouyang Jue wanted to bring Ning Caier back, if she wanted to go out to sea to play, he could take his family’s yacht out.
“Cai’er, this place is too cold. Why don’t we go to the pier and set sail?” Ouyang Jue gently tugged at Ning Caier’s arm wanting to advise her, although this kind of weather was not suitable to set out to sea, it was still better than staying at the beach. At least, there would be a place to hide when it rained.
Ouyang Jue raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. He felt that the weather today was too terrible, when he was at Xu Family, the sky was still clear, but he didn’t expect that the moment he arrived at the shore, it would become a dark, cloudy, rainy day.
“It’s alright, the Xu Family’s towers are usually too warm, I rarely have the chance to enjoy the wind.”
She took off her shoes and cheerfully hopped along the seawater. The unceasingly rolling waves pattered against her legs, causing half of her skirt to become wet. The soft fabric stuck tightly to her legs, making her look like a mermaid who had been washed to the shore.
The sea breeze ruffled her hair, but it gave her a natural sense of beauty. This mermaid really wanted to return to the sea. She seemed to be tired of seeing everything on the land and only wished for freedom in the sea.
Ouyang Jue held her shoes and followed behind her silently. He was afraid that she would catch a cold, but he didn’t have the heart to ruin her mood, because he had never seen that kind of smile in a long time when he saw Ning Caier smiling. He wanted her to be happy for a while.
He told the driver to park the car outside the beach, so that he wouldn’t disturb Ning Caier and him when they were alone. Just like that, the two of them got further and further away from the place where they parked the car.
The beach was filled with their footprints. Ouyang Jue wanted to accompany Ning Caier for a lifetime, but after a while, they were washed clean by the seawater. It was as if the two of them had never been here before.
“Put your shoes on. It’s too cold here.” Ouyang Jue saw that Ning Caier had already stood barefoot in the cold water for an hour. He wanted to hug her for warmth, since her condition had always been constant.
But Ning Caier did not move, she opened her arms and faced her body towards the ocean, suddenly she closed her eyes and said the words Ouyang Jue was most worried about.
“Ouyang, let’s break up.”
Ning Caier’s voice was very soft. Ouyang Jue knew that it was because she was tired, that in this repeated torture and this hopeless life, she had already erased all of her emotions, so even after breaking up with her, her emotions were unusually calm. He could not see a single ripple on her face.
If it was before, Ouyang Jue would forcefully hug her to prevent her from thinking too much, but now, his feet could no longer move. He knew that he no longer had the qualifications to hug her, because all of his promises were empty words, and he knew that he could do it, but he could not give Ning Caier a date.
“Cai’er, have you really made this decision?” Ouyang Jue had advised him before that if he could not give Ning Caier an answer, he might as well let her go and let her find his happiness. As such, he was a little hesitant now, and even though he was determined to love her, he was not sure if he could still give her happiness.
“Yes, I’ve decided.” Ning Caier nodded strongly, and she revealed an extremely beautiful smile. Her two feet did not return to the shore, but instead took two steps back into the water. Huge waves were rising behind her, washing away the nearby rocks. This beach was not a natural sea beach, so the surrounding water was very fast.
Ouyang Jue yearned for freedom so much, her actions seemed like he wanted to commit suicide. This made Ouyang Jue throw away the things in his hands, he did not believe that she would choose such a resolute method to leave him.
“Goodbye, Ouyang Jue.” When they arrived at the seaside, she realized that he could not forget Ouyang Jue at all. During this period of time, she had thought of countless ways to leave him, but in the end, he found out that she could not leave him. Only death could grant her true freedom.
“Cai’er, come here. That place is too dangerous.”
Ouyang Jue saw that she was getting farther and farther away from the shore, so he hurried to stop her. But the waves of the ocean were just too big, and the moment he grabbed her hand, they both fell into the sea.
“You can go ashore yourself. Don’t worry about me.”
Ning Caier never thought that Ouyang Jue would rush down and try to touch the beach with her feet. She hoped to keep the two of them standing, but the water below her feet never reached the bottom of the water, so she couldn’t let Ouyang Jue die with her. She wanted to push him away, so with his own strength, swimming back to the shore should not be a problem.
“Cai’er, don’t be afraid. Nothing will happen to you. Is anyone here? Help!”
Ouyang Jue definitely would not let go at this point, he continued to hug Ning Caier’s body as they struggled in the water endlessly. The situation in front of them was indeed more serious than he had expected, he screamed for help with all his might, but he could not get a reply. The driver was too far away from them, and there was no one around.
Ouyang Jue could feel that they were getting further and further away from the beach. A single wave was enough to make them lose all consciousness. Ouyang Jue wanted to wrap their bodies together so that even if something were to happen, the two of them would not be separated.
The surface of the sea was completely covered with an endless amount of seawater. Ouyang Jue gradually realized that there wasn’t even a single reef he could hold on to beside them.
He hugged Ning Caier and gently kissed her forehead, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
The Ouyang Family’s driver waited by the side of the road for a few hours but did not see Ouyang Jue return. He knew that she should not pay too much attention to her master’s personal affairs, but seeing that the sky was already dark and the rain was continuously pouring down, he was worried that Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier would get wet.
‘s phone was the same as well, causing the driver to completely panic. Although Ouyang Jue was reckless at times, he would definitely not do it without an explanation. He drove up and down the beach twice, but could not find any trace of the two of them.
