Meng Xi's eyes were slightly red, and she stretched out her red and swollen palm to show Chu Qi.
Her beautiful face looked as fragile as a doll about to break.
The longing and confusion in her eyes seemed to make her want someone to hug her.
It was the first time Chu Qi saw Meng Xi with this expression. Even when they met on the first day and experienced such a thing, she was not that sad.
Chu Qi stretched out her arms, embraced her, pinched her wrist, and got closer to observe her injuries:
"Does it hurt badly? I'll take you to get some medicine."
"Have you been bullied? I'll go and avenge you."
He whispered, concern evident in his words.
Meng Xi's chest tightness, which made her almost unable to breathe, suddenly eased a lot because she felt love.
Is this what it feels like to be surrounded by love?
Meng Xi rubbed her boyfriend's neck affectionately, her soft cheek gently rubbing against his Adam's apple, and the latter swallowed subconsciously.
"I wasn't bullied, I was the one who bullied others." The girl spoke in a low voice and told the whole story without hiding or fabricating anything.
After hearing the whole story, Chu Qi touched the girl's palm tenderly and caringly. Just when Meng Xi felt a little pain and subconsciously pulled her hand back, he suddenly lowered his head and pressed his soft lips on her palm.
Then, a slight wet and warm touch appeared in the palm of my hand.
yes.....
Meng Xi opened her eyes wide and felt her ears burning.
"I'll give the baby a kiss to relieve the pain~" Chu Qi kissed Meng Xi's palm for a while, then turned to kiss her ears which were burning with heat.
The gloom in Meng Xi's heart was completely interrupted by Chu Qi's behavior. She no longer cared about her depression and pain. Her mind was distracted by this special coaxing.
Chu Qi helped Meng Xi up and said, "I'll take you to buy medicine."
"As for your mother...if you don't want to see her, just stop seeing her. She has her own dear son to take care of her in her old age, right?"
It was the first time that Meng Xi heard the term "darling son". Chu Qi's tone was sarcastic, and she didn't know why, but she was tickled and burst out laughing.
Chu Qi was adjusting the front of the car. When she heard the noise, she raised her eyebrows and looked back: "Baby, what are you laughing at?"
"You make me laugh." Meng Xi hugged her boyfriend's thin waist and put her cheek against his, enjoying the moment of contact.
Chu Qi didn't understand what she said to make her laugh, but since she was happy, it was a good thing. She simply stopped thinking about it and went to the drugstore to buy some anti-swelling medicine. When she got home, she applied it on her.
The medicine was mild and non-irritating. It felt cool when applied and effectively relieved the stinging in Meng Xi's palms.
Ms. Wang noticed Meng Xi's situation and asked a few questions with concern.
It feels so good to be cared for. Meng Xi felt warm in her heart. If only Ms. Wang was her mother...
This thought suddenly popped up in her mind, and Meng Xi looked guiltily at her boyfriend who went to the kitchen to cut fruit for her. She thought, she was really going too far. Her boyfriend was so good to her, but she actually wanted to steal his mother.
However, even though she was thinking this in her heart, she couldn't help but lower her head and smiled secretly, feeling that she was the happiest person in the world at that moment.

Tonight's dinner was very sumptuous. Meng Xi kept eating and praising Ms. Wang for her delicious cooking.
She just started crying while eating.
Ms. Wang hurriedly took a tissue to wipe her tears, but Chu Qi wiped her tears directly with her fingertips.
"What's wrong? Don't you like the food today? Well, if you don't like it, just tell me. Don't force yourself to eat it."
Ms. Wang knows her own level. Although she cannot reach the standard of a five-star chef, but——
It’s not so unpalatable that it makes me cry, right?
Meng Xi smiled and shook her head, the tears in her eyes reflected by the light, as if they were filled with tiny but brilliant galaxies.
"It's delicious, the best dish I've ever eaten. I'm just so touched. You're so nice to me."
The girl lowered her head in embarrassment, her slender fingers pinching the napkin, her fingertips turning white.
"Because it tastes good? You scared your auntie. I thought you didn't like it!" Ms. Wang stroked her chest exaggeratedly. Her lively gesture made Meng Xi smile with curved eyebrows.
Meng Xi felt that she was being really pretentious today, crying at every turn. If she cried like this at her stepfather's house, she would only be met with disgust, and they would even think she was an eyesore.
But it's different here...
All she was given here was care. She indulged herself in this atmosphere and allowed herself to sink.

This was the second time Meng Xi spent the night at her boyfriend's house.
That night, Ms. Wang invited Meng Xi to sleep with her, while Chu Qi still slept in her own room.
Ms. Wang said, "I'm sorry to bother you tonight. Tomorrow we'll buy you a bed you like and put it next to Auntie. That way we can each have our own bed."
She did not suggest putting it in Chu Qi's room, nor did she allow the two of them to have contact in advance, giving Meng Xi enough respect.
Meng Xi was wearing pajamas that Ms. Wang had washed but not worn. She nodded awkwardly. She appreciated all the care, but she didn't want Ms. Wang to spend money on her.
"I can sleep on the floor. There's no need to buy a bed."
Ms. Wang disagreed: "It's too cold to sleep on the floor, it's safer to sleep on the bed. Auntie is not disliking you and not letting you sleep with me. It's just that I don't sleep well at night, am I worried about your sleep quality?"
Without further ado, she pulled Meng Xi onto the bed and covered her with the extra quilt. She also covered herself with one and patted the quilt. She said:
"Go to sleep!"
Meng Xi huddled into the quilt, leaving only her head exposed. She swept her curled eyelashes up and down and nodded gently: "Good night, Auntie."
