She walked past Jingchuan without looking sideways, without even an extra glance.
The moment they passed each other, her wrist was suddenly held by a hand.
"Xi'er."
Jingchuan's hands were broad and warm, with slender knuckles, and he could securely wrap around her slender wrist without any effort.
Ye Xiyue still didn't look at him, her expression was pale, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
She didn't seem to intend to quarrel with him, and she didn't even show a trace of anger. Her eyes and brows were calm, and she just let him hold her wrist without speaking or moving.
But it happened to be like this, which made Jingchuan uncomfortable the most.
He sighed, came to her, and looked at her with lowered eyes:
"Angry?"
In fact, there is no need to ask this question.
How smart she is, at this point, she can definitely guess it.
Let alone her, no one would be indifferent to such a thing.
His fingers gently rubbed the inside of her wrist, cherishing and carefully, as if he was protecting the most precious treasure.
There was a thin layer of calluses on the pads of his fingers, and when he gently rubbed them against her delicate and smooth skin, he felt a little itchy and numb inexplicably.
The warmth on her hands seemed to spread upwards, gradually embracing her.
"Xi'er."
He spoke in a low voice, his brows and eyes so gentle that they couldn't be more gentle,
"Shall we go in and talk? No matter what, you give me a chance to explain and then decide how to judge me, okay?"
Ye Xiyue gritted her teeth.
This man told her such a huge lie and deceived her into so many tricks. How could he get away with it just by coaxing him so casually?
She moved her wrist, but found that she couldn't break free.
Knowing that she couldn't get over this matter today, she felt heartbroken and finally raised her eyes to look at him.
"You want to explain? Okay, I'm all ears."
Jingchuan felt relieved, and then heard her say coldly:
"Let go of your hands first."
Jingchuan refused.
He was still worried after all. He was really afraid that if he let go, there would be no chance of him touching it again.
He held his hand tighter.
Ye Xiyue looked up at him, her eyes swept over his face little by little, and after a while, she curled her lips and said with a hint of a smile:
"I don't even know your real name. Isn't it... inappropriate for you to do this?"
These words were like a knife, piercing his heart and lungs every word.
Jingchuan was wrong in the end, and for fear of making her even more angry, he finally let go of his hand reluctantly.
Ye Xiyue raised her feet and walked towards the room.
Jingchuan followed closely behind.
The two of them entered the room one after another. Ye Xiyue ignored him and went over to sit in the chair.
She closed her eyes, raised her hand and pinched the back of her neck, frowning slightly, showing a bit of fatigue.
Too many things happened on this day, and she couldn't even take a moment to relax.
At this moment, she was finally able to sit down and have a good rest, but there was Jingchuan standing in front of her, which confused her mind.
Click.
The sound of a door closing was heard.
Ye Xiyue opened her eyes and glanced at him coldly. She wanted to say something, but then she remembered what the two of them were going to say next. It was probably very involved and not suitable for outsiders to hear, so she thought about it again.
The words in his throat were swallowed back.
Jingchuan came to her and looked at her little face, feeling heartbroken.
"tired?"
Just as he was about to come over and rub her shoulders, he was greeted by Ye Xiyue's laughter.
"No need to bother, I don't like bothering strangers."
Jingchuan frowned.
Ye Xiyue seemed unaware.
The two looked at each other.
For a moment, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
