Chapter 179 Warming each other up

As soon as he finished speaking, his arm was taken away.

Doesn't he want to listen?

But now that it has come to this, she has 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.

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 miserable lives.

If we get sick, we'll be together.

When she sat up and finally controlled her cough, she turned around and saw Xiao Xuanjin who had turned around at some point and was looking at her with a deep gaze.

He finally looked at her. Actually, he was still worried about her, so he allowed her to be a little narcissistic.

But this made her feel more confident.

She just finished coughing, her voice was a little shaky and breathless, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Who cares if you're okay?" he said coldly.

Su Mi directly exposed him, "Your eyes don't lie."

Xiao Xuanjin snorted and said nothing.

In Su Mi's opinion, Xiao Xuanjin is now just a proud and arrogant kid waiting to be coaxed. Well, he was planning to coax him today.

She started to ramble, "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, touch them."

Xiao Xuanjin ignored her.

She continued with a pout, "It's really tiring to rush, but in the end, no one cares about me."

"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 Jiangcheng is the best place. It has mountains and water, 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 stopped when she saw that she was ahead. Her voice was as soft as cotton candy, and every syllable was tender and sticky. "Because you are here, how can I bear to leave?"

Well, she admitted that this was what she really thought, but she didn't expect to say it in this way.

Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her indifferently, but it was obvious that the warmth in his eyes was no longer so cold.

Realizing this, Su Mi thought that the most urgent thing was to explain it to him, so let's talk about business first.

She put aside her pretentious expression 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 softened his attitude, but there was still doubt in his tone, "Really? How much do you hope for it?"

"That's probably it... I think about this every time I close my eyes."

Xiao Xuanjin stared at her closely 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 obedient. "Don't be angry. Actually, I went to burn incense and pray for a peace charm for you that day. 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 later, so I didn't make it back to celebrate your birthday."

Xiao Xuanjin didn't push her away. He lowered his head to glance at her dark head and asked in an unclear tone, "So you've been in the hospital recently?"

"Well, considering my illness..."

She wanted to take the opportunity to act pitiful, but he didn't give her a 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 do you know?"

Xiao Xuanjin sneered, "Didn't you go to burn incense with him?"

Hey, how come he knew this? Who was gossiping behind their backs and ruining their relationship?

But she didn't care about that right now and wanted to appease him first. "No, I just happened to run into 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 she looked as if she was truly undaunted.

Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, she raised her hand and stretched out three slender fingers, "I swear, if I say even a single word that's false..."

Xiao Xuanjin suddenly grasped her raised fingers, interrupting her words, and said casually, "Your hands aren't cold at all."

She smiled, her eyes curled up like a cunning fox, "That's because you warmed it up."

She thought to herself that she had really said all the nice things she could today.

Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her and didn't respond. He rubbed her finger joints with his fingertips, obviously not so easy to fool. "So, you met by chance, and by chance you burned incense together, ate together, laughed together, and kept each other warm?"

The more Su Mi listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He knew too much, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. "We were just traveling the same way, and... I have always kept my distance from him. Also, what do you mean by keeping each other warm?"

I was thinking, who on earth could this be? Why was 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 a bed. Su Mi was horrified, fearing that he would be stigmatized. "How is that possible? He and I are innocent."

"Really?"

"Of course, I swear." She wanted to assure him again, and then she realized that he was still holding her fingers.

"Xiao Xuanjin, did someone tell you something?"

No matter how slow she was, she should have reacted by now. 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 that he behaved like this. He already had shadows and traumas from the past on himself, and now all the goodwill he had worked so hard to accumulate was gone.

"Say? I don't really care what others say."

He was not stupid enough to be led by the nose by others. He knew very well what Gu Mu Qing'an was thinking. The fact that he tried to alienate their relationship with a photo last time explained everything.

However, he was also angry. Why did the relationship between the woman in front of him and that Gu Muqing seem to never end? 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 and still looked unhappy.

Xiao Xuanjin let go of her hand, his deep gaze seemed to be able to see deep into her eyes, "Then tell me, should I believe that?"

"Of course you can't believe it. You can only believe me. I am the person involved. What I say is true. Others will only exaggerate and destroy our relationship."

Xiao Xuanjin chuckled, "Feelings? Do we have feelings for each other?"

"Yes, of course."

Su Mi climbed up and placed her hands on his face affectionately. Her eyes were bright, like the bright moon hanging in the sky, pure and flawless.

"As soon as I woke up, I left the hospital, booked a ticket, and came to see you without delay, Xiao Xuanjin, do you understand? I was eager to see you."
