Perhaps it was because she had always been pampered by her father and the people around her that she had still lived in the idealism of fairy tales. She thought that everything could be beautiful. As long as she gave to others with her whole heart, others would also reciprocate with the same wholeheartedness.
Once the negative feelings invaded the mind, people would subconsciously start to think lower of themselves.
The fingers that were pinching her chin started to caress it before raising her lips, and Yin Shaojie suddenly lowered his head to kiss her.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiaoâs pupils dilated.
But just as he was about to touch her lips, Yin Shaojie stopped.
He said in a low voice, âYou donât know that I want to do more than just kiss you like this. You donât know about how I feel about you every time I take a cold shower. You donât know that every time I see some guy hugging you, I get so mad I could kill him! And you definitely donât know that I canât breathe at every thought of you leaving me⦠Xiaoxiao, you donât understand me. Itâs true that you donât understand me. You donât understand me, not in the least! If you really understood me, you would not have abandoned me after seeing a little sceneâ¦â
Hearing his words, Mu Xiaoxiao jolted inside, her heart tense. But there was also some⦠indescribable blissful feeling.
Is he telling the truthâ¦
He said that he canât breathe if I were to leave him.
As Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how she witnessed him with An Zhixin, it nearly made her feel like suffocating.
So they felt the same for each other, right?
Her lower lips flattened and trembled, and she said indignantly, âWhat do you mean that I abandoned you⦠It was clearly you! It was clearly you⦠who had hurt me⦠yet you still have the nerve to blame meâ¦â
As she spoke, her tears fell.
He had no idea just how miserable she had been.
How could he be so mean to blame her instead!
As she cried, she clenched her fists and pounded on his chest.
âYou bastard! You bastard!â
He had completely no idea just how she had lived in the past two days.
She had no idea what it meant to be zombie before, but now she knew.
For him, she had lost her spirit. For him, she had been too anxious to eat her meals. For him, she could not bring herself to be motivated in anything she did as if she had forgotten how to be happy.
Their lips were already very close. As she scolded and beat him in agitation, their lips brushed each other past again and again.
Yin Shaojieâs expression darkened as he grew aroused by her.
Suddenly, he grabbed hold of her wrist, and he said in a voice as soft as water, âYes. Itâs my fault. Iâm the meanest. So you canât let me go. You have to stay by my side for the rest of you life to allow me to atone for my mistakes, alright?â
âNo,â Mu Xiaoxiao huffed.
âWhat do you want then?â Yin Shaojie stared at her little face. From the tone of her voice, he could tell that she had softened her heart and that she at least believed that what had happened between An Zhixin and him was only a misunderstanding.
Yin Shaojie could finally release the burden weighing in his heart.
Now, all he needed to do was to coax her to return.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She had not thought of how to deal with him, but she was not intending to just forgive him so easily.
He was after all the one who had caused her so much agony and to shed so many tears that her eyes became swollen.
