There is an idiom called "counterproductive".
There is also an idiom, "The more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes."
Bai Jiaojiao had tried her best to reduce the damage to the lowest level, but when the damage was added up, it wasn't a big deal in Xiao Zhou's eyes.
"It's not because of him. I'm just... scared."
She shrank her head, hugged his waist tightly, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was trying to prove her fear, and she was still afraid now.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xiaozhou patted her back soothingly, his voice unconsciously gentle, and he didn't want to pursue the matter any further.
Bai Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and looked up cautiously, only to be met with a pair of black eyes that were gentle yet tinged with suspicion, and then quickly turned into pure gentleness.
Her heart tightened. She originally wanted to muddle through, but doing so seemed to sow doubt in Xiaozhou's mind.
That won't do! She has to pull out the seeds.
She buried her head in his arms again and said sullenly, "You didn't misunderstand me, did you?"
"No."
"Just ask if you have anything to say. I don't want you to have any misunderstandings about me." Bai Jiaojiao said gloomily, threatening in a low voice, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Xiaozhou touched her soft head. His hands were warm and tender.
The doubts in my heart were broken by her kick.
"Then why are you wearing the same clothes?"
"Were you familiar with each other before?"
"What were you doing before I came?"
There were three questions and Bai Jiaojiao didn’t know where to start explaining.
Bai Jiaojiao was thinking to herself that even if she explained it clearly now, what would happen next? If she talked to other men alone, would Xiao Zhou become such a nagging woman?
Although it was necessary for the plot, she wanted to change it.
"He and I really have nothing to do with each other." Bai Jiaojiao said seriously: "The clothes are just a coincidence, and I only recognize black and white. He looks like a woman in white.
I wasn't afraid at all when I ran into him when I got lost just now. I felt like I could knock him down with one punch, don't you think? "
The man raised his eyebrows, looking at the girl who was as petite as a doll, spoiled and small, whose two hands combined were not as big as his.
"Yes." If he can knock someone down with one punch, it means his wife can do the same.
Bai Jiaojiao raised her chin slightly in satisfaction.
"Besides, he's not as tall as you, nor as handsome as you, and you're a pilot with a bright future ahead of you. Why shouldn't I fall for you instead of him?"
Xiao Zhou: "So, do you like me?"
Bai Jiaojiao was startled, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but then she thought of something, snorted softly, pinched his face, and asked back, "Then do you remember?"
She emphasized immediately before he could speak.
"If you lie to me again, I will never tell you the truth again."
"no!"
Xiao Zhou refused without a second thought. Looking at the girl's serious eyes, he pursed his lips and said honestly, "I don't remember."
Bai Jiaojiao was a little disappointed and a little confused.
"Logically, you should have remembered a little bit."
It wasn't a serious injury at first. She made medicine for him every day and lived in his hometown where he had lived for 18 years. How could she not have any impression of it?
Xiao Zhou lowered his head and rubbed his nose against her lips. He couldn't help but hug her tightly with both hands and pressed her against himself.
"It doesn't matter if I don't remember it. I like Jiaojiao, and this will never change."
The girl's small hand was firmly grasped by a large, bony hand, with their fingers interlocked. It seemed gentle and affectionate, but in fact it did not give her any chance to escape.
*
The next day, Xiaozhou brought gifts to Chenjia Village. If Bai Jiaojiao hadn't gotten up early, she would have almost missed it.
"Who are you sending off?" She pulled his sleeve and walked away. "Didn't Dad say that there are no other relatives in Chenjia Village?"
"To the person who saved you yesterday."
