Marriage Seduction Addiction

Meeting Tang Xu's gaze, Yan Shiyu paused only slightly before replying, "You told me."

Tang Xu's mind was in turmoil, but she remembered that she didn't seem to have mentioned this nickname to him before, so she couldn't help but ask, "When did I tell you?"

"Think about it carefully yourself," Yan Shiyu said.

Tang Xu actually did think about it for a moment.

But as soon as my thoughts started to wander, I inevitably remembered those chaotic things again, and I couldn't concentrate anymore.

Yan Shiyu seemed to realize something and reached out to pull her into his arms once again.

Feeling the warmth of his embrace, Tang Xu closed her eyes slightly and leaned against him quietly.

At this moment, she was grateful.

I am grateful that after listening to her tell these things, he did not ask any further questions or investigate further.

He simply held her like that and said to her—

Don't be afraid.

Even if it's just a simple word of comfort.

But she didn't seem so scared anymore.

As the two embraced quietly, a slightly abrupt noise suddenly came from the direction of the small room inside the house.

Tang Xu's body stiffened slightly.

When she returned, Jiang Muchen was already sitting on her sofa. Yan Shiyu arrived later. Logically, there should only be the two of them in the house at this moment, so why was there any noise inside?

Yan Shiyu also turned her head slightly, looking in the direction from which the commotion came, her body tensing up imperceptibly.

Tang Xu suddenly let go of him, walked to the doorway, squatted down, and opened the shoe cabinet in front of him.

There was nothing unusual about the shoe cabinet, except that there seemed to be an extra pair of sneakers and a missing pair of slippers.

This is naturally normal; as long as Song Luobai returns, the shoe cabinet will naturally look like this.

But now...

Tang Xu felt a slight tightness in her heart, and a strange sense of panic washed over her.

She quickly returned to Yan Shiyu and reached out to pull him outside, saying, "Go back first, please go back first."

In those few tens of minutes, her feelings were already complicated enough. At this moment, any more complicated situation would give her a splitting headache.

But of all things, that's exactly what happened to her.

Tang Xu felt like she couldn't breathe, but what's done is done, and what needs to be resolved must be resolved.

It was all about her; she had no way to escape it, she could only face it. Yan Shiyu looked down at her and whispered, "I'll stay."

"No." Tang Xu refused decisively, "You go first."

Despite her insistence, Yan Shiyu did not force her.

Soon, Yan Shiyu opened the door and left the house.

Tang Xu stood at the door, trying to calm herself for a long time before finally heading towards the small room.

She had just reached the door when it suddenly opened.

Having grown taller by a head, Song Luobai was now taller than her. At this moment, his hair was wet, his face was pale, and he looked at her with his eyes slightly lowered.

Tang Xu couldn't discern the emotions in his eyes at that moment.

The two stood facing each other for a moment, one inside the door and the other outside, before Tang Xu finally spoke: "Why are you at home?"

Song Luobai's gaze remained fixed on her face. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "I have a fever. My teacher told me to come back and rest."

"Is it burning badly?" Tang Xu just stared at him without making any further moves.

Song Luobai finally looked away from her face, reached out and rubbed his head, "I took the medicine and slept, I'm much better now. I just woke up thirsty and want some water..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's eyes flickered slightly.

"You've been sleeping the whole time?"

"Otherwise what?" Song Luobai retorted.

"Such a loud noise just now, didn't it wake you up?"

"What's that noise?" Song Luobai asked again.

After a moment of silence, Tang Xu slowly said, "I accidentally broke a vase."

"Oh, I didn't hear that."

Song Luobai only said this one sentence before walking past Tang Xu and heading straight towards the kitchen.

Tang Xu remained standing in the corridor for a long time before reaching out and gently pressing her hand against her heart.

Song Luobai went into the kitchen, poured himself a large glass of water, gulped it down, and then put the glass in the sink.

At this moment, he should have done something, but he just stood there, staring blankly at the empty cup.

After a long while, he turned around and, despite his stiff movements, returned to the small room with remarkable calm. (End of Chapter)
