“That day you had your hair in a single braid on one side, and a lilac blossom fell into your hair, right here.” He pointed to his temple.
"When you passed by me, I smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, my heart suddenly raced, but my breathing unconsciously slowed down."
"Before I met you, I had never felt that way before."
Nan Xian stared blankly at him. She had always thought his eyes were like bottomless pools, making people afraid to look directly at them.
But now, she felt that his eyes were as clear as a stream flowing slowly after the iceberg melts, without a trace of impurity.
She heard a vibration in her chest, and then her vision blurred, everything in her sight seemed to be floating.
When He Mingxiao saw her suddenly burst into tears, he snapped out of his reverie and took a few steps forward.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
He frantically tried to wipe away her tears, but they fell like pearls from a broken string, soaking his palms.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things. I'll never say them again. Don't be sad, okay?"
Every tear she shed felt like it was dripping onto his heart, burning his soul and making it hard for him to breathe.
He Mingxiao had never felt so helpless before, and all he could do was apologize repeatedly.
Nan Xian seemed not to hear him, and cried harder and harder, until she finally sobbed out loud, tears streaming down her face.
He Mingxiao tenderly pulled her into his arms, but she struggled awkwardly.
"Don't hug me... I haven't showered properly for days, I smell bad."
The topic changed so quickly that He Mingxiao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "You don't smell bad, you smell nice."
Nan Xian burst into tears: "You said it smelled good without even smelling it! You lied to me!"
"Okay, okay, I'll smell it, I'll smell it."
He leaned closer to her neck and gently sniffed.
The woman's body fragrance mixed with a faint scent of sweat entered his nostrils, and this primal hormonal aroma almost instantly awakened certain memories in him.
He Mingxiao's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he lowered his eyes and composed himself.
"I smelled it, it smells very nice."
Nan Xian's eyes were blurry with tears as she sniffed, "Really?"
He was certain: "It's true, I'm a dog if I'm lying."
She instantly stopped crying and burst into laughter, burying her face in his arms.
"Now you can hug me."
Faced with this sudden embrace, He Mingxiao was stunned for a full half minute before suppressing his inner elation and gently touching the top of her head.
Nan Xian breathed steadily and softly in his arms.
He glanced down and immediately chuckled helplessly.
She actually fell asleep like that.
He carefully placed her on the palm leaf bed and stayed by her side for a while.
He mentally reviewed everything that had just happened, and something felt off.
Having lived together for six months, he had never seen Nan Xian's emotions change so quickly—one second she was laughing and joking with him, the next she was suddenly crying and even acting coquettishly towards him...
He suddenly stopped, glanced at the pot in the corner, then got up and walked quickly toward the fence.
The once lively and energetic Xiao Yi now slumped listlessly in the corner.
It usually bullies other rabbits because of its large size, and even prevents them from getting close to the corner where it sleeps.
But now, it doesn't even have the energy to chase away the wild rabbits that are playing around it.
He Mingxiao suddenly realized, then felt a mix of amusement and exasperation—
Seeing that Nanxian liked mushroom soup, he only drank a little himself and left the rest for her.
But unexpectedly...
