Bai Xiaoruo sneered, "Yes, you're very thoughtful... But I still won't use this money. I can support myself and earn money to support myself in the future."
She didn't want to owe Xian Mingyu anything at all, not even a little bit.
Perhaps that's what he was thinking too; as long as she accepted the money, she would have a reason to completely sever ties with him.
"It's up to you. How you handle it is your own business. You don't need to tell me." Xian Mingyu turned his face away and looked at the scenery outside the car window.
The atmosphere inside the car was eerily tense.
Neither of them said anything more.
Sure enough... after leaving his grandparents' house, Xuan Mingyu reverted to his aloof demeanor. He was such a good actor in front of others; Bai Xiaoruo almost believed him, almost fell for his sincerity...
In the end, it was nothing but wishful thinking on my part.
The car finally arrived at the new hospital. When Bai Xiaoruo opened the car door and got out, Xuan Mingyu also got out of the car.
Bai Xiaoruo was puzzled. Something was off. Didn't he usually not live here? Why did he get off the bus too? Was he... not going back to his place tonight?
"Are you... staying here tonight too?"
"Do I need your permission to live where I want?" Xian Mingyu asked, somewhat annoyed.
"No need." Bai Xiaoruo pursed her lower lip and silently walked into the house alone.
Their relationship reverted to its initial state of unfamiliarity.
They're like enemies, not like husband and wife.
***
Hsien Ming-yu did not go directly to the master bedroom, but went to the study instead.
Bai Xiaoruo didn't have high expectations and just continued with her normal life.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, she removed her makeup, took off her hair ornaments, and removed her contact lenses. The maid, Xia, came in, filled the bathtub with hot water, and then left.
She took off her dress and threw it into the laundry basket.
I took a comfortable set of pajamas and underwear from the closet and went into the bathroom.
After washing his hair and taking a shower, Xuan Mingyu did not come to the master bedroom when he came out of the bathroom.
Bai Xiaoruo thought that perhaps he really intended to sleep in the study tonight. The quilt had been dried, so it wouldn't be so cold tonight.
She simply put on a coat, moved her easel outside to the balcony, sat on her special little chair, and began to paint on the paper, drawing whatever came to mind based on her inspiration.
There are only three days left until the announcement of the finalists. I am filled with a myriad of emotions.
There are only five spots available, and I don't know if I'll be able to get through.
The artwork for the competition was submitted to the teacher in charge yesterday. Bai Xiaoruo is just having trouble sleeping, so she wants to draw and express her feelings through colorful pictures.
Only when I'm painting can my heart be at peace.
Live in your own little world, independent of anyone, and without thinking about any worries.
The breeze tonight is cool and pleasant, perfect for slowly drying my wet long hair.
......
When Xian Mingyu turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, Bai Xiaoruo was already sitting on the bed, with the blanket covering half of her legs. She was tidying up the blanket and preparing to lie down and go to sleep.
Seeing Xian Mingyu, she was no longer as excited and nervous as she had been the night before. Knowing that he wouldn't give her a friendly look, Bai Xiaoruo simply ignored him, pretending he didn't exist. She pulled up the covers, lay down with her back to him, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Seeing that Bai Xiaoruo completely ignored him, Xian Mingyu was somewhat surprised.
He had only been a little impatient with her outside, and she was throwing a little tantrum at him.
Fine, let her do whatever she wants.
Anyway, it's just the two of them here, and tonight's act is over, so he doesn't need to coax her like he does in front of others.
When Xuan Mingyu came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he saw that the quilt on the bed was bulging, and the back of her head was turned away from him. She was already breathing softly. She was asleep.
He walked over, lifted the corner of the blanket, and lay down in bed.
The bed was warm and cozy, filled with the scent of her body and the fragrance of her shower gel.
Since he had a blanket to cover himself with tonight, Xuan Mingyu stopped arguing with Bai Xiaoruo.
She slept with her back to him, so naturally he could also sleep with his back to her.
One minute... five minutes... ten minutes passed, and Xuan Mingyu tossed and turned several times. It was strange; he just couldn't fall asleep. He felt uncomfortable all over, even though he had slept so soundly last night...
Could it be that he couldn't fall asleep because he wasn't holding Bai Xiaoruo?
His movements woke up Bai Xiaoruo, who had been fast asleep.
She rubbed her eyes, glanced back at Xian Mingyu, and remained silent. Sleepiness washed over her, so she turned back and shrank further into the covers.
Hsien Mingyu was not happy about being ignored by her once again.
What does she mean? Does she mean he doesn't exist?
He was her husband, after all. Even if he couldn't sleep, wouldn't she at least say something and ask?
With a swift movement, he easily pulled the sleeping person beside him into his arms once again.
Startled from her sleep, Bai Xiaoruo touched the large hand on her waist with her fair hand. Only after confirming that it was the person behind her did she breathe a small sigh of relief.
He would suddenly hug her like this, and Bai Xiaoruo would wonder if a strange man had appeared in her room while she was sleeping.
Holding her soft body, I definitely felt much more at ease.
But Bai Xiaoruo still wasn't used to it.
She didn't turn to look at him, speaking as if to herself but also as if to Xian Mingyu: "We already have blankets tonight, why did you still hug me...?"
