"What Aze just said..."
"You don't need to say anything, I understand..." Bai Xiaoruo interrupted Xuan Mingyu before he could finish speaking, reached out and hugged him, burying her face in his chest.
I didn't want him to see the unhappy expression on my face.
"I'm also a petty and spineless person... I admit I was jealous when I heard him say those things; I still feel insecure..."
She still minded, as expected.
However, Hsien Ming-yu couldn't explain anything. The facts had already happened, and even if he tried to coax or lie to her, the past feelings could not be denied.
Even if she ignores him for ten days or half a month, he will accept it, as long as it makes her feel better, he will let her do whatever she wants.
"She is my past, I can't erase her, and I won't lie to you."
"But now I will have no further involvement with her. Before, my feelings for her were only out of a sense of responsibility as a friend. When I first found her, she was covered in injuries and her mental and emotional state was very unstable. I couldn't be heartless towards her at that time, nor could I completely ignore her..."
Once he made up his mind and decided to be with Bai Xiaoruo, Xian Mingyu was determined to sever all ties with the past.
"......I trust you."
She trusted him completely.
Even though that woman was still an obstacle in Bai Xiaoruo's heart... an obstacle she couldn't overcome... she was still willing to believe in him.
These past few days, he's spent most of his time with her, or just going to work. Bai Xiaoruo could tell that if he really wanted to lie to her, wouldn't he get tired of being with her every day? She's pregnant now, and there are many things she can't do herself. What could he possibly gain from her?
He genuinely treated her well, so of course she should give herself to him wholeheartedly in return.
With just one word of affirmation and one word of belief from her, Xian Mingyu was finally able to put his anxiety to rest.
He knew she understood him and would comprehend him.
He reached out and hugged the person in his arms back; at that moment, he felt at peace.
It's so good to have her.
"I promise you, I will never do anything to hurt you again."
Bai Xiaoruo didn't speak, closed her eyes, and quietly leaned against his chest.
His embrace was so warm; I wished I could stay with him like this forever and never be separated from him again.
In the past few days, Bai Xiaoruo has often had trouble sleeping. Sometimes she wakes up inexplicably in the middle of the night without having nightmares.
She had a bad feeling that something was going to happen between them soon...
She dared not think any further about what might happen.
No, nothing will happen. They've been through so much together, that's enough. It's a new year, a fresh start.
They will always be alright, and nothing will change.
Bai Xiaoruo subconsciously touched her belly, thinking that their baby would be alright too.

night.
Hsien Ming-yu tossed and turned in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
The moment he opened his eyes and saw the layout of the entire room, he was completely wide awake.
Bai Xiaoruo is still taking a shower in the bathroom. She has been in there for more than half an hour and has not come out yet.
I always feel empty inside when I'm not holding her.
Why has she been inside for so long? Could it be...?
Just as Xuan Mingyu was about to get up and go to the bathroom, Bai Xiaoruo came out, wrapped in a headscarf and wearing thick pajamas.
She washed her hair tonight, and her wet hair was completely wrapped in a headscarf.
Bai Xiaoruo walked to the table, fumbled for her glasses and put them on, only then could she see everything around her clearly.
My nearsightedness is really bad. After I give birth, when I have more time, I'll have to get surgery to correct it.
If this continues, I'm really worried that I'll go blind soon.
"Why did it take you so long to wash?"
"Hmm? The water temperature was very comfortable tonight, so I soaked for a while longer."
Bai Xiaoruo pushed up her glasses and prepared to go outside to the balcony to hang up the clothes.
Except for the thick clothes which are left for the maid to wash, Bai Xiaoruo still prefers to do the washing of the thinner clothes herself.
Xuan Mingyu walked to Bai Xiaoruo's side and touched her hand; it was very cold.
It's obvious that Bai Xiaoruo washed her clothes with cold water again.
I've told her countless times that she shouldn't touch cold water in this kind of weather, and she always agrees but continues to do it anyway.
"Go sit on the bed, I'll hang your clothes out to dry."
"No need, it's just a few items."
"Be good." He snatched the clothes from her hands, which were wrung out very dry, and hung them up on the balcony.
Bai Xiaoruo sat on the edge of the bed, took out a hairdryer from the drawer, untied the headscarf, and her wet long hair fell down instantly. She wiped the water droplets off her hair with a dry towel, straightened it with a comb, and then prepared to dry it with the hairdryer.
Halfway through drying her hair, Bai Xiaoruo suddenly felt the mattress next to her sink slightly. Then, a large, fair hand snatched the hairdryer from her hand—
Bai Xiaoruo was startled and quickly turned around. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person sitting next to her was Xian Mingyu.
How did he come back so quickly after hanging up the clothes?
"You scared me to death," Bai Xiaoruo rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Can you please stop appearing and disappearing like this all the time?"
He sat down without making a sound, and the hairdryer was very loud when he was drying his hair. I don't know when Xuanmingyu arrived.
