Chapter 988 Hugging Each Other Without the Lights On

"But you have to keep it a secret for me, okay? After all, nothing's happened between them yet, and it's best if we don't interfere in other people's relationships."

Qi Xuan smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm not that big of a mouth!"

Xia Youxin looked at him, puzzled.

Neither of them turned on the lights in the room.

The two of them sat on the sofa in the dark, embracing each other.

It is probably only at times like these that they can feel each other's presence and warmth, and let go of their grudges against each other.

Hearing Qi Xuan's soft laughter in the darkness left Xia Youxin feeling somewhat confused.

She didn't think she had said anything funny.

Qi Xuan held her hand, playing with her smooth, delicate fingers. The soft, boneless feeling made him want to hold them in his hand forever.

"I'm laughing at you for caring so much about other people's affairs but not about your own. I'll be content if you can care about me like that someday."

Even in the darkness, once their eyes adjusted to the light, they could still make out each other's outlines.

Xia Youxin looked up at him, pouting as she hugged him.

She complained, "Wasn't I good enough to you before? I cared about you more than I cared about myself, but you didn't appreciate it!"

If you had cared for me even a little bit back then, we wouldn't be in this situation today.

The past is definitely a thorn in Qi Xuan's heart that he can't get rid of.

Every time he thinks about the past, he regrets his past actions.

"It's true that I didn't do well enough in the past. What I hate most now is my slow reaction and not knowing how to cherish what I had."

At that time, I never realized that I had actually fallen in love with you long ago. If I had known my feelings for you all along, how could I have remained so cold towards you?

"So you deserve it. If you don't experience my pain, you'll never know how to cherish something!"

Qi Xuan smiled bitterly, a strange emotion spreading through his body.

"It was my fault. I can feel your pain and despair back then. Consider it my own fault, God's punishment for me as compensation for you. I hope we can both get through this smoothly."

If we can get married in the future, I promise I will listen to you completely, cherish and care for you even more, and I will never let you shed tears for me again.

It was rare to hear his promise, and even if he wouldn't keep it, at least at this moment, she felt sweet and happy.

Let's talk about the future later!

"I'll just listen for now; I don't know if it will actually be honored!"

"You need to have some faith in me, and some faith in both of us, okay?"

"This isn't something that can be decided by confidence alone. I've met you once and know that your family isn't so easy to deal with. Instead of fantasizing about unrealistic things, it's better not to have too much hope and just take it one step at a time!"

Just as Qi Xuan was about to say something, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and then the lights were turned on.

The two people inside the room were clearly startled, and the person who came in through the door was even more startled.

After all, everyone knows Qi Xuan.

Seeing this man in the room with a woman in his arms, they immediately felt awkward, fearing that he might cause them trouble.
