Chapter 547 Heartbeat (6)
That was the snack Jingzhe prepared for Shen Miao because he was worried that she would be hungry at night. Did Xie Jingxing actually think that he prepared it specially for him? Shen Miao looked at Xie Jingxing coldly. She should not say anything to this person.
"I've been very tired these past few days," Xie Jingxing said, "I'm glad I can rest here for a while. Thank you very much."
Shen Miao's heart moved. Xie Jingxing hadn't been here for quite some time. Although Shen Miao was still a little uncomfortable because he had never come uninvited at night, it gave her a different idea. She asked, "What did you do?"
Xie Jingxing glanced at her with a half-smile: "Are you trying to trick me again?"
Shen Miao remained silent.
"It's not fair to keep doing this." Xie Jingxing said leisurely: "You know a lot of my secrets, but I know nothing about you. Why don't you tell me about yours too?"
Shen Miao rolled her eyes at Xie Jingxing in her heart. Xie Jingxing had an intelligence agency like the Fengxian Pawnshop under his command, so Mingqi's major world affairs were under his control. And he still had the nerve to claim he knew nothing about Shen Miao? Shen Miao felt that Xie Jingxing was even more dangerous, didn't he?
"Prince Rui can go to Shopkeeper Ji if he wants to hear anything." Shen Miao said coldly, "Shopkeeper Ji will be happy to tell Your Highness."
"Shopkeeper Ji doesn't ask about romantic matters," Xie Jingxing said, "Shopkeeper Ji can't answer what I want to know. Only you can tell me."
Shen Miao asked, “What do you want to know?”
Xie Jingxing held his chin and looked at Shen Miao leisurely. After a while, he suddenly asked, "What do you like about Fu Xiuyi?"
Shen Miao was slightly startled.
She had expected Xie Jingxing to ask her some baffling questions. Over the years of interacting with him, she had clearly realized how shallow her understanding of him had been in her previous life. A young prodigy who died young was hardly the best description of him. Xie Jingxing was a clever and dangerous hunter. If one failed to grasp the right balance, he could easily exploit his fatal weaknesses.
She knew she had revealed a lot of information and had made some mistakes that made Xie Jingxing suspicious. She even thought about how she should answer when Xie Jingxing asked her how she knew so much about the future. But she didn't expect Xie Jingxing to ask such an irrelevant question.
Why does she like Fu Xiuyi? Does it have anything to do with the world's plans?
Shen Miao asked, “Why do you ask this?”
After not hearing Xie Jingxing’s answer for a while, Shen Miao turned her head and happened to meet Xie Jingxing’s gaze.
Under the light, Xie Jingxing was staring at her sideways. He was already handsome and captivating, and now, under the light, his dark eyes were like stars, as if the stars in the sky couldn't outshine his. Yet, within that brightness, there was a sharp edge that made it impossible to look away, locked in his grip, unable to move.
There seemed to be something else in that look, like a question or something else, three parts strong and seven parts domineering, but in an unavoidable manner that made the deep meaning in the eyes burn.
Why do you ask this? He didn't answer.
Shen Miao heard her own heartbeat so violently that she panicked for a moment. This long-lost, fresh sound emerging from her chest left her at a loss, bewildered, but without further resistance.
On a cold winter day, the dim candlelight shone warmly. The young man's eyes were sharp, as if he knew everything, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up.
With a "choo" sound, the white tiger in Xie Jingxing's arms sneezed as if some tiny dust from somewhere had stuck in its nose, waking up the two silent people in the room.
Shen Miao came back to her senses and said, “Your pet is sick.” She avoided the question without leaving a trace.
Xie Jingxing did not dwell on it, but instead picked up the white tiger from his sleeve, took a look at it, and said, "Spoiled!" He didn't know who he was talking about.
Shen Miao took a deep breath, feeling that Xie Jingxing's choice of "White Tiger" as his nickname was a sinister move. When people cursed this beast in the future, Shen Miao would inevitably think of herself. Thinking of this, she began to feel somewhat unhappy with the White Tiger, and even disliked Xie Jingxing immensely.
“Since it’s so delicate, let’s ask Imperial Doctor Gao to take a look at it later.” Shen Miao mocked, “Anyway, Imperial Doctor Gao is a skilled doctor, so it doesn’t matter whether he’s treating a human or an animal.”
Xie Jingxing smiled: "Jiaojiao doesn't like Doctor Gao, she only likes to stick to me."
Shen Miao glared at him.
Xie Jingxing must have done this on purpose!
"Prince Rui, why aren't you leaving yet?" Shen Miao said, "I need to rest."
Xie Jingxing was displeased: "Sometimes you go out with Feng Anning for a whole day, and I come here for a short while and then leave. How ungrateful." Having said that, he stood up from his seat and walked to the window. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned back to the person standing beside him on the couch and said, "Tell me about that question later."
His figure disappeared through the window.
Shen Miao walked over, closed the window, blew out the light, and got on the bed.
The room fell into silence, as if the presence of someone just now was just an illusion. Only the cups and cups with residual tea on the table reminded him that it was not just a dream.
Everything is real, except...
On the bed, Shen Miao's hand touched her heart.
There, the violent beating just now has not subsided yet.
Not an illusion.
