"Silly girl!" Aoqian suddenly laughed, and he gently reached out and lifted her chin.
"How could I bear to let you be disfigured?" Aoqian simply couldn't contain his deep affection.
Let those feelings leak out and surround Song Xiwei.
Song Xiwei's ears burned, and she didn't know where to look.
It's as if, vaguely, a string suddenly snapped...
They even experienced hallucinations.
In that hallucination, Aoqian was pressing the back of her head down...
"Song Xiwei, what are you grinning about?" The hand on her chin tightened slightly, and the puzzled voice pulled her back to reality.
Looking at the face so close to hers, Song Xiwei subconsciously licked her lips. The intense scene in her hallucination had never actually happened.
And what did she actually imagine...?
Song Xiwei pulled her hand away from Aoqian's chin, turned her head away, her heart pounding. She couldn't describe her feelings—was it disappointment? Or something else entirely…
She felt like she was sick, like nothing was right.
"What's wrong?" Aoqian had been staring at Song Xiwei the whole time. It was hard for him not to notice Song Xiwei's unusual reaction.
Moreover, he cared most about Song Xiwei's feelings. He had finally managed to keep Song Xiwei by his side, and he couldn't afford any mistakes.
“We should go back to Chidu…” Song Xiwei didn’t look at Ao Qian; she didn’t know how to face Ao Qian’s tender and affectionate eyes.
I always feel like if I just look at it, I'll be sucked in and my illness will get even worse.
“Okay, then let’s go back.” Aoqian nodded in agreement.
On the way back, just like on the way there, the two of them took a boat.
Throughout the journey, Song Xiwei maintained a distance from Aoqian.
Every time Aoqian tried to get close, Song Xiwei would avoid him.
Looking at the wide space between the two, Ao Qian felt very unhappy.
"What's wrong? Did I do something to make you happy?" Ao Qian asked gently.
He was most afraid that Song Xiwei would suddenly become distant from him, but he didn't know what he had done wrong.
"No, no, I'm fine," Song Xi replied, her head slightly lowered, trying to sound relaxed.
Aoqian frowned. "Liar! If nothing's wrong, you're afraid to look at me! You've been avoiding me the whole way. Can you look me in the eye when you talk to me now?"
“I…” Song Xi stammered, without raising her head to look at him.
Aoqian got angry and stepped forward without saying a word, forcibly lifting her chin. Song Xiwei closed her eyes and refused to look at him.
"Song Xiwei, if you don't look at me, fine, I'll kiss you. I'll let you go when you open your eyes and look at me!"
Aoqian kept his word and unleashed all the emotions he had suppressed along the way.
Song Xiwei was completely unable to withstand Aoqian's outburst of anger.
The pleading voice was weak, "Please let me go..."
Aoqian couldn't stand her tone and was afraid of pushing her too far, so he had no choice but to let her go for now.
Staring into her reddened eyes, he said, "Tell me, what happened! Don't give me a vague answer!"
"Could you... could you not be so gentle with me?" Song Xi asked, her eyes slightly red, as if pleading with him.
Aoqian was stunned.
He repeated her words blankly, "Not gentle with you? What do you mean?"
Was he very gentle with her?
Is there?
He just subconsciously wanted to be nice to her, afraid of scaring her, so is that considered gentleness?
Isn't being gentle good?
"Your gentle treatment of me gives me the illusion that you might fall in love with me, and I... I can't bear it." Song Xi blushed slightly, still unable to meet Ao Qian's gaze, and looked away from him first.
Ao subconsciously wanted to deny it; his love for her was not a delusion.
But just as he was about to speak, he heard Song Xi say weakly, "I agreed to be your fiancé because I was wrong to begin with, but I still want to be more clear-headed. Don't try to seduce people like this anymore, it's not good."
