Chapter 46 I want to treat you better

"You haven't answered the question I asked you." Xia Zixi was afraid that he would not remember, so she added, "You haven't told me what your wish is."

"Why do you ask this?" Xu Tingce turned against the customer.

The short and medium hair rubbed against the pillow with the movement of his head, making a slight sound.

His eyes were as black as the night.

Moonlight shines through the window, tracing the outline of Xia Zixi's side face from shallow to deep, and it is reflected in his eyes.

Xia Zixi sighed indifferently, stretched out her hand, and pressed it on the light quilt in front of her.

She clasped her hands together, lowered her eyes and said, "I want to treat you better."

You are so kind to me, I can't bear it, so in order to make up for the guilt in my heart, I also want to treat you better.

Xia Zixi only stated the conclusion, but did not explain the reason to Xu Tingce.

Xu Tingce glanced at her unconscious little movements, and then his eyes fell on her slightly raised lips that opened and closed slightly.

"Can you realize my wish?" Xu Tingce asked.

"I will do my best." Xia Zixi replied affirmatively.

As if to show her determination, she pressed her tightly clasped hands on her chest a little harder.

"My wish, as long as you think about it, you can do it." Xu Tingce turned over slightly, resting his head on his folded wrists and arms, and looked straight at the person in front of him.

Xia Zixi suddenly became curious, so she also turned over, opened a pair of big eyes, blinked and asked, "What is it?"

For a moment, Xu Tingce felt that her blank eyes seemed to meet his own.

At that moment, she was looking at him, expecting him.

But it is only a fleeting moment.

"No suicidal thoughts are allowed."

"It's not allowed at any time." Xu Tingce repeated, as if he didn't think it was enough, he added lightly, "Is it possible?"

The last three words made Xia Zixi's bewildered sense of astonishment disappear in an instant, and what was replaced was a faint sense of powerlessness that was sore and tingling in his heart.

His aunt told her that Xu Tingce's mother ended her life by suicide.

Perhaps for Xu Tingce at that time, that kind of pain was too unbearable, so that until now, it has become an eternal scar imprinted on his heart like a knife and axe, and it is also a pain and shadow that he will never let go of in his life.

But why would he ask her so?

Xia Zixi was silent for a long time and didn't ask any more questions.

Maybe it was because she didn't want to bring back the painful memories that had been buried in Xu Tingce's heart for a long time, or maybe it was because she didn't dare to face his true thoughts.

Anyway, she didn't ask any more, just nodded slightly and said "OK".

Obviously, she proposed to fulfill his wish for him, but in the end, she accepted his care again in a disguised form.

Xia Zixi still didn't know what to do for Xu Tingce.

With her eyes closed, she repeatedly recalled Xu Tingce's preferences that she had inquired from Butler Wu, thinking about what she could do.

Sleepiness gradually swept over Xia Zixi's body and mind, and her breathing gradually became long and even.

Still a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Xia Zixi was woken up by the sound of water in the bathroom.

After waking up, she stood at the door of the bathroom, counting the ticks of the clock, obediently waiting for the people inside to come out.

"I woke you up." After the sound of the door opening, Xu Tingze's mellow and deep voice followed closely.

"No, I slept well." Xia Zixi shook her head with a smile.

Her eyes were bent into crescent moons, her face was rosy and bright, beautiful and moving.

Xu Tingce's soft and vigorous appearance made Xu Tingce turn his eyes slightly uncomfortably.
