She trembled with sensitivity for a moment.
She knew it was him, she could even recognize the sound of his footsteps.
Wen Xian’s fingertips slipped through her hair, her eyelashes quivered, she took a deep breath and got up.
Her hand reached directly for the doorknob and opened the door.
But then, because of the sudden rise, the lack of blood supply to her head made her dizzy, and she fell headlong into him at the door.
"Wen Xian!? Wen Xian...!?"
Lu Xiao was shocked when she fell into his arms as soon as the door opened.
He immediately scooped her up in a horizontal carry.
"...It’s nothing, put me down, I’m fine..."
Wen Xian leaned against his chest, inhaling the familiar, crisp scent and felt her eyes inexplicably heating up and souring.
Why couldn’t she control her emotions all the time.
"Tell me where it’s uncomfortable, I’ll call the doctor over right now."
After he scooped her up, he walked to the bedroom and carefully laid her on the big bed, his hand’s back touching her cheek as he spoke.
Wen Xian subtly avoided his touch, wiped her face, and looked away from him.
Biting her lip gently, her eyes were both sour and swollen.
Lu Xiao watched her actions and his brows tightened slightly.
She was avoiding... him?
"I’m fine, just felt a bit dizzy just now... Probably just tired today, I’ll be better after a rest."
Wen Xian said and turned her body away, leaving him with her back.
But her hand couldn’t resist clenching the blanket in the spot he couldn’t see.
Indeed, when it came time to doubt herself, she realized that she was a coward, having lost all her courage, even afraid to ask him what had just happened.
Fearing what he might truly reveal to her.
Perhaps she was completely caught up in his warmth that if he were to betray or leave, it would hurt her to death.
So, it was better to pretend as if nothing happened at all.
And Lu Xiao just stood by her side, taking her odd behavior all in.
His lips were tightly pressed, his eyes like the evening sky, gradually darkening.
When he spoke again, he suddenly said,
"Did you go out and see something just now?"
The moment these words fell, her body stiffened.
Wen Xian didn’t know how to respond to him, but the next second her body was suddenly turned around by him, her shoulders firmly grasped.
He leaned over, staring at her, while her eyes, red and teary, looked back at him moistly.
Lu Xiao frowned deeply, word by word he said,
"Tell me, what did you hear? Don’t miss a single word."
Wen Xian, looking at his serious demeanor which felt like scolding to her, felt even more wronged.
She could no longer suppress the emotions she restrained deep inside, tears dropping straight down, crying out to him,
"I did see you together, I saw you pulling and tugging at each other, you knew her from a long time ago, didn’t you?"
Lu Xiao stared at her, ejecting a few words.
Tears flowed down Wen Xian’s cheeks as she continued in a hoarse voice,
