Chi Yan's gaze shifted back and forth between Ji Huaishen and Mu Xiaocheng.
What exactly happened between these two?
Sigh~
You say we should argue, that's fine, which young couple doesn't argue?
Why does it feel so tragic?
Both of them tortured themselves to the point of being unrecognizable.
Is it really necessary?
As a single man, seeing them like this made him afraid to even consider dating.
Chi Yan waved her hand and quickly said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Just rest well if you're sick. Do you want some small cakes? I'm going out in a bit, I'll buy you some when I pass by a dessert shop."
Finally, he added, "Consider it my way of showing my respect to you."
So, his brother shouldn't be jealous, right?
Mu Xiaocheng was amused by his words. She knew that Chi Yan was trying to make her happy and that he cared about her.
Although she always seemed to be bullying him.
Seeing her smile, Ji Huaishen's lips also curled up.
He laughed along with her.
She still looks beautiful when she smiles, and he still loves the way she smiles.
It looked as if the whole sky had cleared up.
The sky is no longer overcast.
It was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Mu Xiaocheng held up one finger and said calmly to Chi Yan, "Then just one, only one."
"Okay."
Chi Yan is a very perceptive person; after agreeing, she actually went out.
For a moment, only Mu Xiaocheng and Ji Huaishen remained in the hall.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Mu Xiaocheng moved her lips slightly, clutching her clothes tightly: "I'm going back to my room first."
"Um."
Ji Huai responded in a deep voice, without stopping her, and watched her walk upstairs step by step.
He took off his suit jacket, pondered for a moment, and then followed.
Mu Xiaocheng didn't expect Ji Huaishen to follow.
She was about to turn on her computer to update her comics when she heard his knock.
She walked to the door, her hand trembling slightly as she gripped the doorknob, when she heard his deep voice.
"Don't open it."
With a door in between, she shouldn't be so scared, right?
Mu Xiaocheng's hand gripping the doorknob stiffened, and a strange feeling rose from the bottom of her heart.
This feeling, however, was very familiar, and somewhat warm.
"Is there something you need?"
Her voice was very soft, but Ji Huaishen heard it clearly.
His thin lips moved slightly as he looked at the door in front of him, as if he were looking at her.
Are you afraid of me?
"Um."
She didn't want to lie to him.
At least for now, I'm afraid.
Ji Huaishen lowered his eyes, a glint in them, and said calmly, "Then what do I have to do? Will you stop being so afraid of me?"
He couldn't stand this way of getting along.
Even if he can control himself, he can't control himself forever.
He was afraid that one day he might lose control again and hurt her again. What would he do then?
Mu Xiaocheng sniffed, loosened her grip on the doorknob, leaned against the door, and looked down at her toes.
"Ji Huaishen, that day... why were you so angry, so..."
Cruel and violent.
She didn't continue speaking; she knew Ji Huaishen understood what she meant.
Hearing her words, Ji Huaishen said in a hoarse voice, "I thought you didn't want me anymore. There was no place for me in your heart."
Yes, it's because of that damn petty narrow-mindedness.
A grave mistake has been made.
Mu Xiaocheng bit her lower lip tightly: "But I told you, I have feelings for you."
Why won't you believe me?
"I couldn't possibly not go to save my brother, because he saved my life."
