Chapter 179 Warming each other
As soon as he finished speaking, his arm was taken away.
Doesn't he want to listen?
But now that it had come to this, she had no reason to back down, "Xiao Xuanjin, I... cough cough cough..."
Before he could finish his words, he started coughing violently in a hurry, and tears came out with it.
She thought that maybe she didn't wear enough when she came and caught a cold. It must be said that she and Xiao Xuanjin were really a pair of star-crossed lovers.
If we get sick, we'll get sick together.
When she sat up and finally controlled her cough, she turned around and saw Xiao Xuanjin had turned around at some point and was looking at her with deep eyes.
He finally looked at her. Actually, he was still worried about her, so he allowed her to be a little narcissistic.
But this way, she felt a little more confident.
She had just finished coughing, and her voice was a little hazy and breathless. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Who cares if you're okay?" He said coldly.
Su Mi directly exposed him, "Your eyes can't lie."
Xiao Xuanjin snorted and said nothing.
In Su Mi's opinion, Xiao Xuanjin is now a tsundere monster waiting to be coaxed. Forget it, she was planning to coax him today.
She started rambling, "Xiao Xuanjin, let me tell you, it's so cold in Huacheng. I'm not wearing much clothes, but my hands are still cold. If you don't believe me, just touch them."
Xiao Xuanjin ignored her.
She pouted and continued, "It's really tiring to travel so fast, but in the end, no one cares about me when I'm here."
"If someone could care about me a little, I would definitely not be tired anymore."
After saying that, he glanced at someone, but he was still indifferent.
So she continued, "I think our Jiangcheng is better. It has mountains and rivers, and it's not cold in winter."
This time Xiao Xuanjin finally spoke, "Then go back now, no one will stop you."
"I don't."
Su Mi knew when to stop, her voice as soft as cotton candy, every syllable was soft and sticky, "Because you are here, how can I bear to leave."
Well, she admitted that this was her true feelings, but she didn't expect to say it in this way.
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her indifferently, but it was obvious that the temperature in his eyes was no longer so cold.
Realizing this, Su Mi thought that the most urgent thing was to explain to him, so let's talk about business first.
She put aside her pretentious demeanor and said seriously, "I didn't mean to break the appointment that day. You know how much I was looking forward to coming back to celebrate your birthday."
After hearing this, Xiao Xuanjin's attitude softened a bit, but there was still doubt in his tone, "Really? How much do you hope for it?"
"That's probably it... I think about it every day when I open my eyes."
Xiao Xuanjin stared at her with his dark eyes, as if waiting for her next words.
Su Mi imitated him and lay on him, resting her head on his chest, looking very well-behaved. "Don't be angry. Actually, I went to burn incense that day to pray for a peace amulet for you. It was also a birthday present for you. I didn't tell you at the time because I wanted to give you a surprise. But I didn't expect that I would faint from weakness later, so I didn't make it back in time to celebrate your birthday."
Xiao Xuanjin didn't push her away. He lowered his head to glance at the top of her dark head and asked in an unclear tone, "So you've been in the hospital recently?"
"Well, considering I'm sick..."
She wanted to take the opportunity to act pitiful, but he didn't give her the chance to speak.
"Which hospital?"
"Jiang He."
"With whom?"
Su Mi paused for a few seconds and spoke carefully, "I told you not to be angry."
"Is it Gu Muqing?"
Su Mi straightened up and looked up, a little surprised, "How did you know?"
Xiao Xuanjin sneered, "Didn't you go to burn incense with him?"
Hey, how come he knows this? Who is gossiping about them behind their backs and ruining their relationship?
But at the moment, she didn't care about pursuing those things. She wanted to comfort him first. "No, I just happened to meet him. I didn't expect him to be there."
"Is it a coincidence?"
"Of course it's a coincidence."
She felt that she was wronged, but she did not feel guilty, and her face was full of the look of true gold that is not afraid of fire.
Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, she raised her hand and stretched out three slender fingers, "I swear, if I lie even a little bit..."
Xiao Xuanjin suddenly grasped her raised fingers, interrupting her words, and said casually, "This hand is not cold."
She smiled, her eyes curled up like a cunning fox, "That's because you warmed it up."
She thought to herself that she was really going to say all the nice things today.
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her without responding. He rubbed her knuckles with his fingertips, clearly not someone he could easily fool. "So, it was just a coincidence that you two met, and coincidentally, you burned incense together, ate together, laughed together, and even kept each other warm?"
The more Su Mi listened, the more something seemed off. He seemed to know too much, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. "We're just on the same path, and... I've always kept my distance from him. And what's with this idea of keeping each other warm?"
I thought to myself, who on earth is this? Why is he exaggerating and making up stories? They just had a meal, nothing else.
"Just like you and I are keeping warm now."
They were like this... They were just hugging each other on the bed. Su Mi was horrified, afraid of being stigmatized. "How is that possible? He and I are innocent."
"Yeah?"
"Of course, I swear." She wanted to assure him again, then realized that her fingers were still held by him.
"Xiao Xuanjin, did someone tell you something?"
No matter how slow she was, she should have realized it. Xiao Xuanjin hadn't contacted her for so long because he knew all this and felt that she had betrayed him.
It's no wonder he's like this. He already has the shadow and trauma left over from the past, and now all the goodwill he's accumulated with great difficulty is gone.
"Say? I don't really care what others say."
He was not stupid enough to be led by the nose. He knew very well what Gu Muqing'an was thinking. The fact that he had used a photo to alienate their relationship last time explained everything.
However, he was also angry. Why did the relationship between the woman in front of him and Gu Mucheng seem to be inseparable forever? This was also the thing he could not accept the most.
"Really? But you don't look like you don't care now." Su Mi looked at him still unhappy.
Xiao Xuanjin loosened his grip, his deep gaze seeming to see deep into her eyes. "Then tell me, should I believe that?"
"Of course you can't believe it. You can only trust me. I'm the person involved, and everything I say is true. Others will only exaggerate and destroy our relationship."
Xiao Xuanjin chuckled, "Feelings? Are there feelings between us?"
"Yes, of course."
Su Mi got up and caressed his face intimately with her hands. Her eyes were clear, like the bright moon hanging in the sky, its light pure and flawless.
"As soon as I woke up, I left the hospital, booked a ticket, and came to see you without wasting a moment, Xiao Xuanjin, do you understand? I desperately want to see you."
