Chapter 122 That's why it wasn't thrown in his face.
The atmosphere in the cramped space froze for a moment.
The legal counsel maintained his grip on the steering wheel.
He managed a weak tug at the corner of his mouth.
I'm sure I didn't check the almanac before going out.
It's almost dinner time.
This led him to a dramatic situation where he had to chase after his wife even after she had died.
"Oh... I'm sorry, you two, I didn't express myself clearly... What I meant was that ladies should go first..." By the end, even the usually eloquent legal counsel didn't know what they were saying anymore.
The two people in the back seat each had their own thoughts.
Song Yingxi stared at her hand resting on her thigh, her eyes lowered and she remained silent.
The scent of Xie Siyan wafted into my nostrils, penetrating every nook and cranny.
It made it impossible for her to ignore.
Now, saying "get off the bus" would seem deliberate, but fortunately, the legal department has shifted the problem to their side.
"Could you please take me to Oak Bay Apartments?"
She whispered an address, the same neighborhood where the fire had occurred not long ago.
After staying with Xie Siyan for a few days, Song Yingxi completed a safety check of the apartment and moved back to her own place.
The legal counsel was about to speak when he said, "Okay..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Song Yingxi heard a hiss from the person next to her.
She instinctively turned her head to look.
Xie Siyan covered his torn lip and looked back at her with a pained expression.
"Yingxi, I feel like my wound has gotten bigger, and it seems to be bleeding a little."
He then moved his hand away.
Then, sure enough, a trace of blood appeared on the slender fingertips.
He looked at her pitifully, his eyes like those of an abandoned puppy.
"Yingxi, could you please treat my wound? Otherwise, it might get infected and necrotic tomorrow. If it develops sepsis, Youzi won't have a father anymore..."
Song Yingxi frowned slightly.
Her gaze fell on that bright red, which seemed even more dazzling against the backdrop of Xie Siyan's fair fingertips.
A hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Xie Siyan was injured while saving her.
No matter what, she couldn't just abandon him and ignore him.
Song Yingxi didn't speak, but her silence spoke volumes.
I have already answered Xie Siyan.
Xie Siyan's eyes lit up instantly, as if his tail was wagging in the air.
In a lighthearted tone, he said to the legal representative, "Please take us to Yinghu Residential Area."
They looked like they wanted to fly to the heavens.
The legal counsel's lips twitched: "..."
---
Thirty minutes later, the car arrived safely at Yinghu Residential Area.
It has been half a month since Song Yingxi last came. A man-made lake in the community has not yet frozen over in winter. Some child has put a small yellow duck on the water, which is gently swaying.
Xie Siyan followed her gaze and looked over.
"Yuzi asked me to buy him a little yellow duck a couple of days ago, and it was delivered to my door today. I'll go and grab a bargain."
He and Song Yingxi didn't have much to talk about anymore.
Perhaps this is the only topic they can still talk about.
Song Yingxi watched as Xie Siyan, dressed in a coat, walked towards the lake.
Without hesitation, she called out to him, "Xie Siyan, are you out of your mind? That duck is in the middle of the lake, how can you reach it? Are you going to swim over? You know about sepsis, but aren't you afraid of catching a cold in this freezing weather and developing pneumonia? Let me tell you, if you get sepsis and pulmonary edema, I won't take care of you."
Xie Siyan gazed at the ducks in the middle of the lake.
With his back to Song Yingxi, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
He composed himself before turning around.
"Yingxi is right. I did not think it through. I will not take it."
After this interlude.
Xie Siyan's affirmation of Song Yingxi did not mean he had no feelings for her anymore.
She was clearly concerned about me just now.
However, a few years have passed, and Song Yingxi is no longer the mild-mannered person she once was.
She developed her own sharp edges and learned to protect herself.
Or to be more precise, it was his own obtuseness with emotions that left a scar on Song Yingxi's heart.
All her sharp edges are a form of self-protection.
Xie Siyan snapped out of his daze and entered the elevator one after the other with Song Yingxi.
In the enclosed space, neither of them spoke.
They arrived at Xie Siyan's house in silence.
Xie Siyan lowered his eyes and entered the password on the combination lock, pressing down each number one by one.
Song Yingxi's gaze fell on the numbers on it, as if she were mentioning them casually.
He slowly began to speak: "Why did you set this password...?"
She asked that question last time.
With a ding, the door lock opened.
Xie Siyan happened to look up at her and said, "It's the last two digits of our family's birthdays."
His tone was very flat, as if he were simply saying that the weather was nice today.
But Song Yingxi's gaze lingered on Xie Siyan's back for a long time through the suddenly lit lamp, her thoughts unreadable.
"Come in," Xie Siyan said, changing into slippers as he reminded Song Yingxi, who was lost in thought.
"Oh." Song Yingxi came back to her senses and stepped into the room.
Then a pair of cartoon plush slippers were placed in front of me.
After Xie Siyan finished doing all this, she naturally got up and went to the bedroom.
Song Yingxi pursed her lips and changed out of her outdoor shoes.
Wearing fluffy slippers, I stepped onto the marble floor and walked to the sofa.
Then Xie Siyan changed out of his outer clothes and came out of the bedroom wearing a gray home outfit and carrying a yellow family medicine box.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Song Yingxi understood perfectly well. She walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Come here, I'll help you apply the medicine."
"Okay." Xie Siyan agreed quickly, as if afraid that Song Yingxi would change her mind.
He carried the medicine box over and sat down next to her.
As the leather sofa creaked, Xie Siyan's enlarged handsome face was instantly pressed against Song Yingxi's.
"Could you have given me a heads-up beforehand?" Song Yingxi was almost startled by him.
A sly glint flashed in Xie Siyan's eyes as he desperately suppressed the smirk that threatened to spill from his lips.
"Okay, Dr. Song."
But the burning passion in those eyes was something Song Yingxi couldn't ignore.
Song Yingxi pretended not to see it, calmly opened the medicine box, and took out the disinfection equipment.
Fair fingers held a cotton swab, dipped in a little iodine.
She looked up at Xie Siyan's cracked lips.
The area around the wound was whitish, and the torn opening was already red and swollen.
"It might sting a little, just bear with it," she said softly.
Xie Siyan nodded.
Then, he saw Song Yingxi carefully disinfecting his wound with cotton swabs. Iodine was not irritating and did not hurt, but Song Yingxi's fair face was still in front of him.
His heart began to pound, thumping loudly.
Song Yingxi opened her eyes wide and saw Xie Siyan's face getting closer and closer to her, which startled her so much that she almost threw the cotton swab at his face.
Fortunately, she had developed composure as a doctor.
That's why I didn't throw it in his face.
"What are you doing...?" Her voice was unsteady.
Xie Siyan's voice was deep, and intense emotions surged in his dark eyes.
He raised his hand and pressed it against the back of Song Yingxi's head.
He looked into her eyes and said, "Yingxi, I miss you so much..."
As he spoke, his thin, crimson lips were about to touch her red lips.
Song Yingxi was so upset that she didn't dare to breathe and clutched her jeans tightly.
Just as he was contemplating whether or not to kick Xie Siyan...
Xie Siyan's phone, which was on the coffee table, suddenly lit up and made a buzzing sound.
