After understanding Ling Xi's past and his concern for me, I no longer felt the pressure I had previously felt. I relaxed and followed him to the hot springs for a day, and my whole body felt indescribably comfortable. He stayed with me the whole time, and I was afraid of slipping and falling when I walked.
I'm afraid that I won't be nutritious when I eat, and I'm afraid of being frozen when I come out of the spring water. He's very heartwarming. Similarly, he looks bad on the outside, but he takes care of me so carefully, which also attracts the praise of other women, regardless of age.
Young and old, all praised me for my good fortune. I was no longer at a loss for what to do, but responded with a faint smile, while he proudly talked about the theory of the new good man.
On the way back, Ling Xi was uncharacteristically quiet. I stepped forward curiously and said, "Did you spend too much money? It doesn't matter. I still have some here. You can take it..."
Seeing that I was seriously about to take out my wallet, he held me down helplessly, "Can you stop thinking in such a special way?"
"Then what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just thought about what grandma and aunties said." He said quietly.
"Oh, they don't know the truth. You can't blame them for talking nonsense." It's funny to say that they actually treat us as a young couple.
"If... I mean if... it's like what they said, that's not bad." After finishing speaking, he turned his face away. The blush on his face was not sure whether it was due to the sunset or something else.
.
His words made me at a loss for a moment, "You..."
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just talking casually. Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat?" He interrupted me without waiting for my answer, "Okay, I haven't eaten Italian food yet." I immediately obeyed.
As he said, I don't want to destroy the harmony between us because of the unintentional conversation just now.
"You are really good at choosing, especially the expensive ones." Even though he said this, he still took me to eat Italian food. I noticed all these small details, but I was unable to respond. I,
It was the catkin who signed the contract to sell his son for 500,000 yuan. This cruel fact cannot be changed.
When I returned to Bai's house, I didn't see Bai Xiuyi. The housekeeper said that I went out with Kong Yiyou not long after I left. Then he said with deep meaning, "The young master was very unhappy when he found out that you went out."
I felt some inexplicable anger in my heart. Although I signed a contract, it did not stipulate that my freedom was restricted. Since it didn't disturb his date with Kong Yiyou, why should I be dissatisfied with my going out.
Sure enough, Bai Xiuyi went straight to my room after returning home and opened the door rudely, "Where have you been this afternoon?"
His anger was stirred up again. "I don't want to say it."
He didn't expect that I would react like this. He walked up to me angrily and said, "What did you say?"
"I don't want to say it." I repeated expressionlessly again.
"Who are you with?" Bai Xiuyi asked sensitively.
"I don't want to say it." Those same three words.
"Is it that guy named Ling Xi?" His eyes turned red. If Kong Yiyou hadn't existed, I would have thought he was jealous.
"Yes." I answered happily, and I didn't do anything shameful. Since he had guessed it, I didn't need to hide it.
"Damn it! Didn't I warn you not to associate with him again?" Bai Xiuyi roared at me.
"I refuse." I rarely resisted him, and I was angry at his unreasonableness.
"Because of him, you resisted me?" Bai Xiuyi looked at me in disbelief as I always said "oh" and "hmm".
"We are just strangers, you said. So, there is no resistance." I said coldly and expressionlessly.
After hearing my words, Bai Xiuyi stood there for a long time, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, we are just strangers. Thank you for reminding me." Then, he slammed the door and walked out without looking back.
Like, the same thing that night.
Tears that could no longer be controlled filled his eyes. He didn't know why he said those words, which ruined the harmonious atmosphere we had finally established. Bai Xiuyi's expression as if he was hurt kept appearing.
Am I wrong in my mind? Am I wrong in oversimplifying our relationship?
Tears came one after another, but I had no intention of wiping them away.
The next day, Bai Xiuyi did not wait for me, but drove away alone. As the only person who knew the whole story, the housekeeper watched everything calmly. I always felt that he seemed to be blaming me when he looked at me.
Me, Uncle Bai didn't ask anything, just asked the driver to take me to school.
I walked across the playground absentmindedly, feeling agitated because of what happened yesterday. "Bang" a volleyball hit my face hard, and instantly, my nosebleed started to flow.
"Oh, isn't this catkin? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Kong Yiyou ran over and helped me up, but there was no apology in his eyes, but the pride of revenge.
"It's okay." I covered my nose, and nosebleeds flowed down between my fingers. "I'll go wash it off."
"Be careful." Even Kong Yiyou's voice revealed joy in others' misfortune.
If she knew that her brother Xiu Yi and I had been strangers since last night, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been so cruel.
"Liuxu, what's wrong with you?" I bumped into Ling Xi accidentally, and when he saw my look, he quickly took out his handkerchief and covered my nose.
"I was hit by a ball." I said, holding my nose.
"Which bastard?" he said angrily, but he gently wiped his hands for me.
"It's okay. She was also careless." That's weird.
"Really, from now on you have to stay away from dangerous places like the playground." He turned around and complained to me.
Bai Xiuyi?
I looked up and found Bai Xiuyi. He looked coldly at Ling Xi, who had her back turned to him, and looked at me coldly...
