"Nan Xiaoxi," Baru said, looking at the girl in front of him with deep black eyes, "Why don't you act coquettishly with me?"
Nanxi frowned, not understanding why. "Why should I act like a spoiled child with you?"
"If you act like a spoiled brat with me, I'll buy you a bag too. How about that? Buy ten, no, I'll buy you a whole cart."
The brightness that had just appeared in the girl's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, "I don't want it."
She is already in this state, why would she need a bag? Why would she need a bag when she can’t even see tomorrow?
Baru's face darkened, his brows furrowed slightly, "You think I can't afford it?"
"I don't know if you can afford it, but I know that I don't want it." She still didn't look at him, but raised her eyes to look at the dazzling sunlight outside, her heart dark. It was only less than ten days, why did her previous life seem like a lifetime ago?
Could she never go back? She couldn't go back to Mandalay, couldn't go back to China, couldn't see her brother, couldn't see her grandfather, couldn't see that nasty father, couldn't see her classmates...
In just a moment, the girl broke down emotionally, covering her face in pain, "I don't want the bag, I want to go home..."
Balu didn't understand why she suddenly started crying, as he just wanted to cheer her up.
But her words that she wanted to go home stung the man's heart.
"Then we'll go back after we finish shopping." He suppressed the tightness in his chest and comforted her stiffly.
"I don't want to go back to the little bamboo house. I want to go back to Mandalay. No, I want to go back to China. I want Grandpa, I want Aunt Ying, I really want to go home..."
She simply shook off the man's hand, squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
Baru was so cold that the eyes from the people around him almost froze into ice. He stood aside helplessly.
It turns out that he wanted to return to China.
She really didn't want to stay. Everything she said before was just to coax me into saving her.
"Go home?" He squatted down, but he was still much taller than her, blocking the light in front of her, casting a shadow, and squeezed out each word between his teeth.
"Nan Xiaoxi, you want to go back to China? You don't want to stay and be my wife, right?"
The girl was shocked by his cold voice and regained some of her rationality. It took her more than ten seconds to suppress her surging emotions. She took a deep breath and
"I...I was just...touched by the scene and felt emotional. I feel better now."
She stood up, took a tissue from the table, wiped her red eyes, feeling guilty and cautious.
"I won't cry anymore, let's go!"
Balu still didn't get up, his chest was swollen with anger, and he became even more angry when he heard her deliberate and unfamiliar flattery.
"Let's go--" The eldest lady was not very good at pleasing others, so she tentatively pulled the man's sleeve, trying to pull him up.
Baru stood up with a force and pressed the man into his arms. "Would you please your brother like this?"
Nanxi blinked and turned away, her thick and long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Of course not. She is the little princess in her brother's palm. Her brother has always doted on her. She has always trusted, relied on and indulged her brother. She doesn't need to please him at all. Her brother will always give her the best.
Silence means no, right?
Baru tightened his lips, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"If you don't know how to please, don't pretend. I'm not forcing you."
He thought that an obedient and well-behaved woman was suitable to be his wife, but seeing her being so humble and cautious in front of him, he felt inexplicably suffocated.
That’s not the real Nan Xiaoxi at all!
He took her hand and walked towards the door, but Nan Xiaoxi didn't move.
"What's wrong again?" He frowned and looked seriously at his wife who had a twisted face and red ears.
"Baru...I...I want to go to the bathroom."
"Didn't you just go there when you came in?" His first reaction was that she was going to cause trouble.
"No." Nanxi's voice weakened a bit. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I'm having my period..."
"Which one? Tell me clearly!"
"Just a little life..." Nanxi pursed her lips shyly.
"What is that?" The rough man didn't quite understand why she squeezed out words one by one like a code, and asked irritably scratching his head.
"Menstruation... do you even understand it?" Nanxi stamped her feet anxiously.
Only then did Balu react.
When I went to the red-light district with Zhan Peng before, I heard that the girls would only perform for a few days every month. Zhan Peng even joked that who would be willing to fight for his life. He paid double the money and was forced to drink by several girls. In the end, they gave him a large tip before they gave him a break.
The young lady stamped her feet in anger, rolled her eyes and glared at him, which inexplicably pleased the man. The irritability in his chest disappeared. He held her cheeks with his big hands, squeezed her bright red lips into an "O" shape, and kissed her hard.
"Nan Xiaoxi, you're so cute like this!"
Psycho, this man is a psycho.
Nanxi pressed her face, which was hurt by the squeezing, and rolled her eyes at him.
"Go ahead, honey." Baru pointed in the direction of the bathroom. "Should I wait for you here or at the door?"
Why is he suddenly so easy to talk to?
Nanxi pursed her lips suspiciously and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go take a look."
She moved towards the bathroom uncomfortably, legs tucked together, like a duck, while Baru kept giggling behind her.
He seemed like he hadn't been this happy in many years...
The man who reacted scratched his short hair at the back of his head and lit a cigarette.
Nan Xiaoxi, after I find my enemy and take revenge, we will live a normal life, okay?
When Nanxi came out of the bathroom again with her legs clamped together, her cheeks were light pink.
Her skin was too white, but due to being frightened and injured many times, and not being used to the food, she always looked sick. Now her face had a little pink, which made her look even more delicate and charming.
