Locke sent Luo Xiaoqian all the way to her bedroom door on the second floor.
"Or, we can go for a walk on the beach..." Locke suggested behind her.
"I'm a little tired and don't want to go." Luo Xiaoqian turned on the headlights and replied apologetically, "I want to... think about it carefully..."
"Okay then." Locke smiled and shrugged, "If anything happens, ask the servant to call me over at any time, and my door will always be open to you."
"OK, thanks."
Locke looked at her expectantly, "Can I have a goodnight kiss?!"
Luo Xiaoqian stood there awkwardly, her face lowered, "Locke, I...I'm not used to kissing strangers...I mean...I'm not saying you are a stranger, I just..."
Locke looked at her cute and nervous look and just chuckled.
His Sissi is so cute.
Raising his hand to hold her palm, Locke raised her palm in a gentlemanly manner, "Then, can I kiss your hand, Miss Sissi?!"
Luo Xiaoqian couldn't bear to refuse him anymore, so she nodded lightly.
Holding her hand to his lips, Locke gently kissed the back of her hand, and a pair of dark green eyes fell on her face full of affection.
"I won't force you, I will wait for the day when you fall in love with me again, sissi, good night!"
"Good night." Luo Xiaoqian raised her lips to him.
Taking a step back, Locke turned and walked upstairs.
Watching him go downstairs, Luo Xiaoqian closed the door and looked at the faint marks left on the back of the hand he kissed. Luo Xiaoqian turned and walked to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and washed her hands.
Although he always said that they once loved each other, subconsciously, Luo Xiaoqian had an instinctive resistance to Locke's closeness. Even she herself was not aware of this.
After washing her face, Luo Xiaoqian raised her face and looked at herself in the mirror.
It was a very beautiful and delicate face, with long black hair draped over her shoulders as softly as silk.
Skin as white as porcelain, as delicate as gelatin, slender eyebrows, bright black eyes, lips as pink as cherry blossoms...
Luo Xiaoqian raised her palm and caressed her cheek.
Is this what I look like?!
Noticing the necklace protruding from the collar around her neck, she doubtfully stretched out her fingers to take out the necklace from the collar and looked at the shining key underneath.
That's not a decorative key, that's a real key.
key?!
Why is she hanging the key around her neck?!
Luo Xiaoqian slowly lifted the key hanging from the necklace. Under the light of the bathroom, the silver key reflected the dazzling silver light.
…
"You are not allowed to pick it off without my permission, and you are not allowed to take a bath!"
…
In my mind, I suddenly remembered a domineering voice, and at the same time, some memory traces like fragments of light and shadow flashed through my mind.
Luo Xiaoqian stared at the key in her hand and was about to capture the clues when the bathroom door was suddenly opened from the outside.
She turned around in shock and saw a tall figure in black overalls standing outside the door looking at her. He wore a black hood on his face, only revealing a pair of eyes as dark as the night sky.
Eyes full of surprise.
That kind of look is like a pearl diver who has found a big pearl left on the seabed, or a passerby who has found a very important relic that he has lost for a long time. He seems to be going crazy with joy.
