Without thinking, as Song Xiwei tried to remove her hand, Aoqian rubbed his head against her palm, making muffled noises, like a small animal begging for its owner's affection—weak, pitiful, and expectant…
Song Xiwei, as if possessed, rubbed Aoqian's head and found him really strange, as if he had suddenly changed from a spoiled brat to a coquettish one.
He kept rubbing his hand against her palm, muttering in a voice as low as a mosquito's buzz, "I'll be a good boy and listen to you."
Song Xiwei felt that Aoqian was acting very strangely, as if he was possessed by something.
She used her other hand to lift his chin, examining his entire face, and looked him in the eye.
Aoqian's eyes were watery, as if she had suffered a great injustice. They were glistening with moisture as she bit her lip and remained silent, looking at Huotiao pitifully.
He looks just like her little pet.
She looked pitiful, as if she was terrified of being abandoned by her owner.
"Hey, Shaojun, what's wrong with you?" Song Xiwei was not used to him being like this.
Even though he acted that way before, one could roughly guess his intentions.
It's really strange that she keeps acting cute and pitiful right now.
Aoqian shook his head without saying a word, still looking pitiful and afraid of offending him.
Song Xi sighed, "Did you do something wrong behind my back? Did you kill someone or commit arson?"
Ao Qian shook his head, his lips moved slightly, and he whispered weakly, "No."
"Then why are you pretending to be pitiful? What kind of coquettish act are you putting on? Have you forgotten that you are the fearsome Young Master Aoqian of Chidu? If others see you like this, all the prestige you've built up before will be for naught!"
As soon as Song Xiwei finished speaking, Aoqian shook his head, his voice still weak, "I didn't pretend to be pitiful, I didn't deliberately act cute, I... I just..."
"Just what?" He's been stammering for so long without saying anything directly.
Song Xiwei's patience was almost exhausted. "If you're not going to talk, then get out!"
She was too weak to play along with his antics.
Aoqian stared intently at her, and finally steeled himself to speak clearly and methodically, "I just wanted to show you my weakness, to tell you, Song Xiwei, I won't be difficult anymore. Whatever you like about me, that's what I'll be, okay?"
Song Xiwei: "..." She listened to Aoqian's words in a daze.
Although Aoqian's eyes were still a little wet, they didn't look as aggrieved and pitiful as before. Instead, they were very firm and serious.
These words, spoken while staring at her with such eyes, contained no hint of jest; on the contrary, they were more sincere than ever before.
"Why are you showing weakness to me? And why are you suddenly so serious..." Song Xiwei was unsure of Aoqian's intentions.
Aoqian said earnestly, "Rather than being the kind of person you hate, I'd rather be the kind of person you like."
Song Xiwei: "???" When did she say she hated him?
Even if there were conflicts before, isn't that just normal friction?
It's not really about disliking them.
She was just about to tell him that he was overthinking things.
But then Aoqian said, "I will never do anything you don't like, and I will do my best to do what you want to do. Once the riverbank issue is resolved, no one in the town will lose their life because of that riverbank anymore."
Upon hearing Aoqian mention the river embankment, Song Xiwei suddenly remembered the scene before she lost consciousness.
Several images flashed through her mind. Although she was drowsy and had not regained consciousness at the time, she could roughly sense what had happened.
It was Aoqian; he did everything in his power to bring her out...
