The two talked for a while at the door, then Xin Chun said she had to go back.
Luo Xikui offered to take her, but she said no, and then dragged her luggage to hail a taxi.
Taxis are rarely seen here at night, but Xin Chun managed to hail one with a wave of his hand.
Luo Xikui couldn't help but wonder if Xin Chun had prepared this all along.
She went straight to her house as soon as she got off the plane and waited for her. She knows her parents, so why was she standing outside the door? Was she trying to increase her guilt towards her?
Actually, Luo Xikui isn't stupid. She's not completely oblivious to Xin Chun's intentions in doing certain things. It's just that her sense of guilt makes her overlook Xin Chun's little schemes.
There was nothing she could do; it was something she owed Xin Chun.
Xin Chun's purpose tonight was also very clear to her.
She will grant her wish.
Luo Xikui took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, got back into the car, and drove it into the gate.
At this time, Xu Ziyu had changed into shorts and wrung out a hot towel to cover his knees.
He leaned against the headboard, his brows furrowed, his thin lips pressed tightly together, enduring the pain, though sweat still beaded on his forehead.
Once the towel had cooled down a bit, he picked it up, put it in the basin, and was about to bend down to wring it out.
There was a knock, and then the door opened.
It was too late for him to cover it up; Ni Sitian had already walked in. He had no choice but to pull the blanket over his knees.
"Xiao Yu, I heard from Xiao Zhang that you went for a run today?" Ni Sitian came in somewhat flustered, sat on the edge of Xu Ziyu's bed, and was about to lift his blanket.
"Mom, I'm fine." Xu Ziyu pressed down on the corner of the blanket to prevent her from lifting it.
"How could you be alright? You know your own situation." Ni Sitian's eyes reddened with worry. Remembering what Xiao Zhang said about being with Xiao Kui, she couldn't help but ask, "You haven't told Xiao Kui about that yet?"
Xu Ziyu pursed his lips and remained silent, his gaze drifting indifferently to his knees.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ni Sitian sighed softly. She understood that her child was growing up and had many thoughts he didn't want to share with his parents.
She just wanted her son to be healthy and safe.
"Xiao Kui, she won't mind." Ni Sitian had watched Luo Xi Kui grow up. That child was simple and kind-hearted, and they had all seen how much she liked Zi Yu.
"I know." How could Xu Ziyu not know what kind of person Luo Xikui was? She would definitely be in tears after she found out, even more upset than he was, but he didn't want her to cry.
"No matter what you think, you need to take better care of your body." Ni Sitian knew her son didn't want her to see his knees right now, so she didn't force him.
"I will." Xu Ziyu nodded, and seeing how worried his mother was about him, he solemnly promised, "I promise I won't do it again next time."
Ni Sitian patted his hand, gently tucked in the blanket, and stood up to leave.
As I reached the door, I couldn't help but turn back and say, "Actually, it's not shameful to show weakness in front of someone you like; it's just being affectionate."
She was afraid that her son would be too rigid and easily broken in his relationships, so she reminded him of this. After saying that, she closed the door and left.
Xu Ziyu thought about those words and couldn't help but smile. He remembered how his father used to make a big fuss over a minor cold, and his mother would have to cook porridge, give him medicine, and coax him to go to the hospital.
But for him, showing weakness was more difficult than closing a big deal.
Isn't that embarrassing?
