Give her pleasure

Chapter 48: Hold me all night, remember to be responsible for me
Jiang Li finally fainted from crying in Xie Huaichu's arms.

However, even though she was asleep, Jiang Li's hands were still tightly grasping Xie Huaichu's clothes, and she curled up in his arms, without any sense of security.

Xie Huaichu listened to her every word and boldly guessed that her childhood must have been unfortunate.

She was abused for a long time, and her mother was also tortured.

She is a little child, suppressed by pain and controlled by evil, so it is natural that she will be affected psychologically.

Her independence and self-reliance today, as well as her coldness and aloofness in front of strangers, are nothing more than a barrier she uses to protect herself.

She doesn't dare to trust someone easily, and she won't give her heart to others without any worries.

There is a saying that goes, some people are healed by their childhood throughout their lives.

But some people spend their entire lives healing their childhood.

Jiang Li is the unfortunate unlucky person.

That's why she would reject herself and keep a distance from herself again and again.

In fact, she longs to be loved more than anyone else, but she doesn't dare to take that step.

She was afraid that what was waiting for her was another endless abyss, just like what she experienced in her childhood.

Xie Huaichu half leaned against the head of the bed, his arm around Jiang Li, gently stroking her back, his eyes full of heartache.

This silly girl must have been bearing this pain for so many years.

In the future, he will treat her well and let her know that she deserves to be loved and cherished.

***
The next day, the sky was bright and the sun came out for a rare walk.

Warm and gentle sunlight shines into the bedroom through the window.

Xie Huaichu slowly opened his eyes, the little girl was still sleeping soundly in his arms.

She already had a fever, and after running in the swimming pool for so long yesterday, she became even weaker.

He held her in his arms all night long, never leaving her side, fearing that something might happen to her.

He lowered his eyes, slowly moved his fingertips upwards, gently stroking the girl's smooth and fair cheek. Looking at her delicate little face, he curled his lips silently.

As if she sensed someone touching her, Jiang Li woke up subconsciously, her pupils full of vigilance.

Only after she saw clearly that the man was Xie Huaichu did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Awake?" Xie Huaichu clearly caught her reaction when she woke up just now. His heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone and was twitching in pain.

She is a girl, but she is in a state of nervous alertness even when she sleeps. How did she manage to survive before?

"Last night I..." Jiang Li realized that she was held in Xie Huaichu's arms, moved aside a little embarrassedly, and asked tentatively.

Xie Huaichu moved his numb arms and looked at her gently, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. "She fell asleep in my arms."

Jiang Li was startled, her face became even redder, "Then why didn't you wake me up."

"I cried, but you held on and wouldn't let go, forcing me to hold you while I slept." Xie Huaichu's eyes were filled with smiles as he teased her intentionally.

Jiang Li: "..."

She was sick with a fever, not hungover, so how could she do something like that?

"You are a man. Even if I hold you tightly, you can push me away with your strength."

Jiang Li pursed her lips and talked to him seriously.

Xie Huaichu was so angry that he laughed, "You little heartless boy, you were unconscious at the time and cried miserably. If I really left you alone, wouldn't I be cold-blooded and heartless?"

While speaking, Xie Huaichu stood up and casually straightened his clothes that were a little wrinkled from being pressed.

Then he leaned over, gently lifted Jiang Li's chin, looked into her eyes as bright as stars, and spoke softly.

"You hugged me all night, so remember to be responsible for me." After saying that, he turned and left the bedroom.

Jiang Li stared at his back in a daze, her heart beating fast.

Be responsible for him? Why does this sound so strange?
She was half lying against the head of the bed, staring at the ceiling, and recalling what happened last night. She had a nightmare, cried in his arms, and said some strange words.

Does that mean that Xie Huaichu knew that she had been beaten and tortured?

What would he think of her? Would he think the same as that man, that she was a money-loser, unworthy of love, and unworthy of living?

Just as she was daydreaming, the bedroom door was pushed open again and Xie Huaichu walked in with breakfast.

The man walked slowly to the bedside and put the food down gracefully.

Looking at the little girl sitting on the bed, looking up at him intently, Xie Huaichu leaned over and pulled the quilt over her.

"Is it cold?"

Jiang Li shook her head. "Did I say anything strange or do anything strange yesterday?"

Xie Huaichu sat down beside the bed, pulled the quilt tightly around her, and placed his hands on her shoulders, holding them tightly.

"Ali had a nightmare and mumbled something, but I didn't hear it clearly."

Xie Huaichu lied. He knew she was sensitive, so until she took the initiative to tell him about what happened in the past, he chose to pretend that he knew nothing.

Hearing this, the little girl's eyes flickered slightly, as if she didn't quite believe what he said, "Is it that simple?"

Xie Huaichu nodded and looked at her honestly, "Yeah."

"Ali, do you have something to tell me?" Xie Huaichu hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth again and threw the question to her.

Jiang Li immediately shook her head, "No, it's just that I don't sleep well and tend to hit people, and I'm afraid you'll be implicated, so I want to ask."

Xie Huaichu lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Ali is very well behaved and doesn't have any violent tendencies."

"That's good." Jiang Li agreed guiltily, and did not forget to secretly observe Xie Huaichu's reaction.

Seeing that he acted like a gentleman and was open and honest, her doubts were alleviated a lot.

It seems that she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. Those dusty memories should not be recalled.

She couldn't expose her weakness in front of him like this.

"What delicious food did you make?" Jiang Li calmed down and changed the subject at the right time, leaning over to look at the breakfast he had placed next to her. "It smells so good, it tempted the greedy bug in my stomach."

The man looked at the innocent and kind-hearted girl and his heart softened.

He brought the hot porridge over and showed it to Jiang Li. "You are weak and it is not suitable for you to eat too much spicy food, so I made preserved egg and lean meat porridge."

“It looks delicious.” Jiang Li is very good at providing emotional value and did not forget to give a thumbs up.

"I didn't expect Dr. Xie's cooking skills were so good."

Xie Huaichu was very happy to be praised by her. He held the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other and fed her considerately.

Two people shared a bowl of porridge.

After Xie Huaichu cleaned up the dishes, he took some clean clothes and went to the bathroom.

He hadn't slept well the whole night, so he just wanted to take a quick shower and change into clean clothes.

When he came out after washing up, Jiang Li was trying to get out of bed.

However, the swelling in her ankle had not completely subsided. She stepped on the floor and took a few steps forward, enduring the pain. Then she lost her balance and fell forward.

Xie Huaichu was quick to step forward and catch her.

Jiang Li threw herself into his arms and knocked her forehead against his chest.

Smelling the faint scent of shower gel on his body, she felt very at ease.

Xie Huaichu picked her up like a child, looked up at her and smiled. "You're so eager to throw yourself into my arms, huh?"

Jiang Li: "..."

No, it's obviously her feet that are not in good condition.
