Xie Yunzhou stood guard over Shi Xi and said, "I'll watch you sleep."
Shi Xi had been wanting to sleep, but she opened her eyes again and said, "I'm really okay now."
Stop staring at me!
Xie Yunzhou didn't answer, but he held onto Shi Xi's hand tightly.
Shi Xi decided not to sleep anymore and said, "How about we exchange secrets?"
Xie Yunzhou asked in confusion: "Exchanging secrets?"
Shi Xi: "I'll tell you one of my secrets, and you'll tell me one of yours."
Xie Yunzhou thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Shi Xi said seriously, "I can feel other people's gazes. If I'm constantly being stared at, I won't be able to sleep."
Xie Yunzhou was not satisfied and pursed his lips, thinking about how to refute.
Shi Xi continued, "Because when I was a child, there was always someone peeking at me through the window when I went to school."
"Spying on you? When?" Xie Yunzhou tightened his grip on the girl's hand.
"He was probably eight or nine years old?" Shi Xi thought for a moment and said, "But later I poked his eyes out. This incident didn't leave a big shadow on me, but it darkened half of his life. So, it's all in the past now."
Xie Yunzhou said in a muffled voice, "If it's really over, why can't you sleep?"
Shi Xi frankly admitted, "I can fall asleep most of the time. But if I know I'm being watched the whole time, it's a little hard to fall asleep."
When she's busy with announcements, she can fall asleep in her car.
Xie Yunzhou asked, "So, during the few days you've been with me, have you been unable to sleep?"
"It's alright. Most of the time I only go to sleep after you've fallen asleep." Shi Xi thought for a moment and then said, "I know you won't hurt me, which is one of the reasons I can fall asleep."
Shi Xi never mentioned this matter.
Deep down, she no longer feared being spied on; she only felt a vague unease.
"I won't look at you anymore," Xie Yunzhou said. "I'll close my eyes and stay with you."
Shi Xi: ?!
"You still haven't told me your secret!" Shi Xi grabbed Xie Yunzhou's collar. "Don't try to back out!"
Xie Yunzhou looked at the girl's delicate wrist, lowered his head and kissed it, "I have no secrets."
Shi Xi's face was full of disbelief.
If there were no secrets, would you be under such immense mental pressure?
Why did you ruin yourself like this?
Xie Yunzhou lowered his long eyelashes slightly and said, "It's all other people's business, there's no point in talking about it."
"Is it about your parents?" Shi Xi had a vague idea.
“Hmm.” Xie Yunzhou was silent for a moment. “My father doesn’t like me. He always felt that my mother left him because of me.”
Shi Xi asked softly, "Then why did Auntie leave?"
Xie Yunzhou sneered, "It's because he didn't know how to cherish what he had and messed around outside that my mother divorced him."
Shi Xi never expected that the couple would get divorced.
Rumors are circulating that Madam Xie is dead or has gone mad.
All I can say is that rumors are a fearsome thing.
Shi Xi asked in confusion, "Didn't you go with Auntie?"
If it's a divorce...
Xie Yunzhou let out a breath and slowly said, "Back then, there was no Xie Er. My grandfather tried his best to keep me and raise me as his successor."
Shi Xi understood that Xie Yunzhou must have been quite young at that time.
At that time, Madam Xie's attempt to take Xie Yunzhou away from Old Master Xie was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
Xie Yunzhou recalled the past, a hint of violence returning to his eyes, which he suppressed. "After the divorce, whenever my father got drunk, he would make me call my mother and beg her to come back. If I didn't call, he would beat me."
