Xia Zhichu felt like he was suffocating, and the footsteps were approaching him.
Not sure if it was because of the accident that happened today or because of the strange uncle in the amusement park, Xia Zhichu had a bad feeling in his heart, so he grabbed the fruit knife from the bedside and hid it in the bedding.
If someone showed up and wanted to harm her, she wouldn't be caught off guard.
Getting closer!
Getting closer.
Footsteps lingered at the door.
Xia Zhichu's heart was stuck in his throat, as if it would jump out at any moment.
Every nerve in his body was stretched to its limit, and his eyes were fixed on the door as it was slowly pushed open.
Soon, the door opened a crack, and cold wind was brought in.
The person who came seemed to be an extraordinary person. The innate sense of oppression made people's scalp tingle.
Slowly, all the doors were pushed open. Xia Zhichu was about to pull out the needle and take the initiative, but when he saw the person who walked in, he was shocked.
The next second, there was a "clang" sound, and the fruit knife in her hand fell to the ground.
When Si Mochen saw the fruit knife on the ground, he couldn't help but frowned, then he strode closer, bent down and picked up the knife.
"You think I'm a bad guy and want to harm you?"
Si Mochen was playing with a fruit knife, the sharp tip of the knife emitting a strange light.
Xia Zhichu breathed a sigh of relief and said faintly, "Such terrifying footsteps in the middle of the night, do you think a normal woman wouldn't be scared?"
After saying that, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead!
As she raised her hand, Si Mochen clearly saw the wound on her arm. His pupils shrank several times and he moved closer uncontrollably, grabbing her hand.
"You were injured, why didn't you tell me?"
Bingsen's tone was mixed with worry, which made Xia Zhichu look at him in disbelief.
How come she felt Si Mochen had changed after just one day's absence?
It became a little warmer, and there was a touch of humanity that I hadn't felt since we met.
At this moment, being held by his thick hands, Xia Zhichu raised his head and looked into his eyes, just like six years ago, as if he saw his own starlight in his eyes.
Is it her illusion?
Si Mochen is... caring about her?
Xia Zhichu was somewhat flattered. She didn't know if it was because the man's presence gave her a sense of security, or because she felt uncomfortable after being poisoned. Her voice softened as she spoke, "You're in Milan, and I'm in Jincheng. We're thousands of kilometers apart. What's the point of telling you?"
"Besides, you hate me so much, if I call you now, you might think I'm playing hard to get!"
It's no wonder she thinks this way. Si Mochen has said too many things like this to her recently, and Xia Zhichu can feel how much this man hates her.
Therefore, even if she was hurt to death, she would not call to disturb him, and when she was most uncomfortable, she had to endure the man's cold words.
When Si Mochen heard her accusation, his pupils darkened for several days.
He actually didn't know what was wrong with him, and why he was so eager to arrange to return home after hearing that Xia Zhichu was poisoned and hospitalized.
After all, Milan’s affairs have not been resolved yet. If it were in the past, he would definitely put his own interests first.
But now, he was actually confused because of Xia Zhichu.
Si Mochen just found it unbelievable.
Just as I was thinking about it, I felt the softness in the palm of my hand was gone. When I came to my senses, I found that Xia Zhichu had already withdrawn his hand.
He was dissatisfied with her resistance. She had been so proactive and shameless in kissing him the night before. Now it was just a simple skin touch. Why should she pretend to be reserved?
Si Mochen's displeasure was aroused, and his anxious expression disappeared, quickly returning to his usual indifference. "Si Nianchen said he wouldn't eat food without love. As a mother, you didn't go home to cook for him, but brought the two little ones out to eat. Fortunately, only you were poisoned this time. If the children had suffered as well, Xia Zhichu, you would have committed a grave sin!"
Xia Zhichu was suddenly accused by the man and looked up at him in confusion.
How come he was fine just now but now he looks like the devil?
Sure enough, this man is fickle!
Xia Zhichu kept muttering in his heart, then pursed his lips and said, "If I can get home in time to cook, I would prefer to eat at home than you do!"
The tone was annoyed, and a bit aggrieved.
Si Mochen laughed. This woman made a mistake, and she is still right?
"I've asked Assistant Yan to take the kids home. If you're alright, Mr. Si, go back and comfort them. I'm going to sleep now, so I won't send you off!"
After Xia Zhichu finished speaking, he turned over and faced away from her.
She was already feeling very upset about the accident, and now she had to endure the man's accusations.
Yes, it was her fault. If she hadn't gone out to eat, this wouldn't have happened.
Xia Zhichu didn't want to talk to Si Mochen now, so he just closed his eyes and turned off his hearing, not wanting to listen to those hurtful words anymore.
Seeing that she was chasing him away, Si Mochen clenched his fists until they creaked.
Damn woman, he came all the way to see her, and she spoke to him like this!
Si Mochen was filled with anger. He tugged at his collar and turned away.
The next second, there was a loud noise of the door closing. You can imagine how angry this man was.
Xia Zhichu's heartstrings also trembled, and even her nose felt sore and she felt like crying.
At a time like this, is it really that difficult to get a word of concern from him?
Okay, he doesn’t care about himself, but he shouldn’t blame himself either!
God knows how anxious she must have been as a mother when she realized someone wanted to harm her and almost implicated her child.
