The man’s clean and clear aura enveloped Song Song completely; she met his deep gaze head-on, as if falling into a turbulent ocean, or watching a star about to fall.
Her heart suddenly fluttered, and she instinctively tried to break free, but the man only tightened his grip on her shoulders.
Song Song became a little annoyed, her bright eyes meeting the man’s sharp gaze.
Xiao Jinghuai noticed the redness around her eyes, with a hint of mist, "Have you been crying?"
Song Song pouted and deliberately turned her head away, "It’s none of your business."
She had her pride too, couldn’t always let him bully her; she didn’t want to talk to him now.
"Is it because of what I said earlier?" Xiao Jinghuai asked, his eyes deeply focused.
Song Song stayed silent, maintaining her stance of not wanting to deal with him, her little mouth instinctively pouting...
Xiao Jinghuai helplessly reached out and turned her small head towards him, gently lifting her smooth, soft chin, "Look at me, answer my question properly."
"I, I don’t want to talk to you right now..."
Song Song’s attitude was uncharacteristically firm, even though her tone was still soft, it was at least much better than before.
"Why don’t you want to talk to me?"
Xiao Jinghuai suddenly found the little girl becoming more and more interesting, "Because I embarrassed you in front of so many people?"
Song Song’s lips pursed slightly, meeting his unfathomable gaze with a feeling of grievance.
"You deliberately ignored me first, so I don’t want to deal with you now..."
Previously, when she reached out to him on QQ, he must have intentionally ignored her.
Xiao Jinghuai suddenly realized what she was referring to, his lips curved as he released her, crossing his arms and keeping distance, "Growing a temper, who should really be angry?"
"In your mind, I’m just an ’um’, an ’um’ who ignores people, only gets angry; do you understand now?"
Song Song’s small brows furrowed, her gaze full of confusion, a what?
What is he talking about?
The next second, she started to understand a bit, was he talking about that time?
He suddenly, inexplicably asked her if he was important?
At the time, she seemed...
"That doesn’t count, I just hadn’t thought about how to answer, you asked so suddenly, I couldn’t react."
Song Song clarified for herself.
Xiao Jinghuai’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Bao Bei, Shang Tao, your mom, your responses were quick, but with me, you need to think."
"Well, that’s because, because..."
Song Song’s eyes began to avoid his, unsure how to reply, because in her heart, he wasn’t something that ’important’ could fully explain.
So she needed to think, needed a long time to think.
But she couldn’t say these words to his face, he would surely laugh at her, so she couldn’t say it, absolutely not.
Xiao Jinghuai’s patience was completely exhausted, "Forget it, you don’t need to say it, just leave now."
"Ah!"
Song Song looked bewildered, such a sudden change in tone.
At that moment, her abdomen suddenly felt uncomfortable again, she clenched her teeth and endured.
But the need to use the bathroom grew stronger, so strong she couldn’t care about embarrassment, her little mouth opened slightly, asking, "Uncle, before I go, I want to borrow your bathroom, is that okay?"
Xiao Jinghuai glanced at her, seeing her pitiful look.
"Mm."
Song Song couldn’t even manage a thank you before rushing into the bathroom, and when she came out after handling things, she saw the man sitting serenely on the sofa sipping tea, his posture relaxed...
She lowered her head, tiptoeing over, "Then I..."
"Stomach hurts?"
Xiao Jinghuai interrupted her.
"Mm."
"Take off your pants."
Song Song jerked her head up, "Eh?"
