Lu Jingheng's head was throbbing badly when a pair of soft little hands suddenly reached out and pressed on his temples.
The pressure was just right, and it felt very comfortable when applied to the acupoints.
Xu Rubao watched Lu Jingheng's reaction cautiously. He didn't push her away, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
She breathed a sigh of relief and then carefully gave him a relaxing head massage.
After about ten minutes, Lu Jingheng felt that his headache had improved.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her forward. "Why won't you take the necklace I gave you? Don't you like the design?"
Xu Rubao's hand was held tightly by him, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. "No... it's not that I like you, it's just... it's just that I feel like I'm always causing you trouble, and then I have to accept gifts, it's too... too much."
If it were another woman, she might think the diamond wasn't sparkly enough or big enough.
Oh well, she's always been the vain type.
"Silly girl, this necklace was specially made for you. The one in the middle is a luminous pearl. I searched for a long time before finding one of good quality. If it's too dark at night, looking at the pearl should make you less scared."
At that moment, Xu Rubao's heart was in turmoil.
Her eyes involuntarily reddened. Apart from her grandfather, no one in her life had ever been so kind to her.
He knew she was afraid of the dark, so he made the necklace for her specially.
For someone with claustrophobia, even a tiny ray of light in the darkness is like a flame of life.
Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, Lu Jingheng frowned and said, "Xu Rubao, even if you don't like the necklace, you don't need to cry."
Lu Jingheng was a little annoyed and wanted to take the necklace back and throw it away. Since she liked it so much, there was no point in keeping it.
"Fine, if you don't like it, just throw it away."
Xu Rubao saw him about to throw the trash can away and quickly snatched it back, saying, "I didn't say I didn't like it. You gave it to me, so it's mine now. You're not allowed to throw it away."
Lu Jingheng, who considered himself to have a sharp mind, really couldn't figure out what this little wildcat was thinking at this moment.
"Then why are you crying?"
"It's... because no one has ever been this kind to me except for Grandpa. You know I'm afraid of the dark, so you made this necklace especially for me. I... I have nothing to give you."
Lu Jingheng was truly at a loss for words, yet this alone had moved her to tears.
It turns out this little stray cat is quite easy to coax.
He reached out and patted her head, as if coaxing a puppy. "Don't cry, and don't be too touched. I gave it to you because I didn't want to waste time rescuing you; it was too much trouble."
As Xu Rubao spent more time with him, she began to understand him. He was just sharp-tongued and pretended not to care.
In fact, he always took care of her in many ways.
For example, last night, she was hungry, so I cooked noodles for her, carried her upstairs, and ran a bath for her.
Xu Rubao smiled and said, "You're just saying that; you're clearly just trying to be nice to me."
"This little girl dares to make fun of me? It seems I've been too lenient with you."
After saying that, Lu Jingheng put on a cold expression.
Unaffected by his words, Xu Rubao took out the necklace and said, "This necklace is so beautiful. I really like it, but I can't wear it myself."
She tried, but failed to hook it after several attempts.
Lu Jingheng took the necklace from her hand, "I'll help you..."
