For a man, having a scar was a sign of something.
Jiang Xiaobai secretly guessed if the scar had something to do with the woman he loved. If that was the case, it was indeed too cruel.
She shuddered after thinking about that, but she felt upset and a little jealous internally.
She had gone to so much trouble to take care of him, yet not only did he take advantage of her, he even mistook her for another woman.
How disrespectful!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai stretched out her hand to flick on Xiao Su’s forehead.
Because of the pain, Xiao Su’s calm expression had a frown again immediately.
“Ha, I’m already considered quite kind to have not flicked a hole in your head.”
Jiang Xiaobai felt a little troubled looking at her hand that she couldn’t take back. Am I going to spend the night like this?
In the end, it was proven that Jiang Xiaobai was quite a tough person. Even if no one cared about her and threw her aside, she could still stay alive on her own.
Hence, even though she despised him in the beginning, she fell asleep by the couch later and soon entered her dreamland.
…
Xiao Su felt a numb feeling and a throbbing headache. He seemed to be holding something tightly, but his eyelids were very heavy, and it took him tremendous effort to open his eyes.
Immediately, an unfamiliar environment entered his sight.
Though it was quite unfamiliar, it was a little familiar as well. He felt like he had seen this somewhere, but he couldn’t recall where it was.
Xiao Su’s head hurt a lot. Just when he wanted to massage his temples, he realized that he couldn’t move his hand at all.
Slightly frowning, he looked to the direction of his right hand.
With just a look, he froze on the spot immediately.
A young woman wearing white pyjamas was sitting on the floor, leaning against the couch while placing her cheeks on his arms. Deep in her sleep, her messy hair scattered around his arms, bringing waves of faint fragrance.
That face….
Xiao Su soon recalled what had happened last night.
When he was at the pub, the ghostwriter suddenly came to talk to him. After both of them stopped talking, Xiao Su felt like he couldn’t hold on anymore.
He was quite satisfied with himself that he was finally drunk.
After that, he passed out, just as he hoped. Hence, he had no idea what happened afterward, and he was quite stunned to be in such a situation.
However, he was not an idiot as well. After connecting the dots, he could guess what had happened.
He still had feelings for Yan, so he was unhappy when another woman approached him. After he regained his consciousness, he pushed Jiang Xiaobai from his arms immediately.
However, right after that, she woke up. With a confused look in her eyes, their gaze met for a full five seconds.
Just as Xiao Su thought that Jiang Xiaobai would scream, the corner of her lips suddenly twitched. “Oh, so you’re up.”
Xiao Su was confused when he saw that.
Is this a normal reaction from a normal woman? Is the woman in front of me a freak?
In fact, if Jiang Xiaobai had forgotten about last night and realized that she was so close to Xiao Su after she woke up, she might have been shocked. However, she went through so much trouble yesterday, so she remembered everything clearly. It was impossible for her to forget about it.
“Get up,” he ordered her coldy without any expression on his face.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Xiao Su in confusion at first. However, after seeing how he looked at her as if she was an enemy, she was immediately annoyed. “What do you mean by that?”
“You’re on my arm,” Xiao Su replied coldly.
Jiang Xiaobai was speechless upon hearing that.
After being stunned for a while, she soon returned to her senses. When she was about to flare up, she saw that he was still holding her hand. Then, she immediately got closer to Xiao Su and asked, “You’re unhappy just because I was resting on your arm?”
Hearing that, Xiao Su frowned slightly as he looked at her in confusion.
“Why don’t you tell me if I’m upset, seeing you holding my hand?”
With that, Jiang Xiaobai raised her hand.
For the entire night, her hand had been held tightly by Xiao Su. Even in his dreams, he was holding her tightly, so he didn’t let go even after he had woken up for so long.
As soon as he saw that, his face darkened immediately. Indeed, he had held her hand without letting her go. Apart from that, he even held her quite tightly.
He immediately let go of his hand and saw a red mark on Jiang Xiaobai’s fair and slender wrist.
A stunned look crossed Xiao Su’s eyes. Last night…
“Do you see it clearly? It was not that I wanted to sleep on your arms. You were the one who held my hand so tightly that I couldn’t remove it. So I had to sleep here, on the ground, for the entire night. It was obviously your fault, yet you are blaming me now?”
“I’m so sorry!” After realizing that he was the one at fault, Xiao Su apologized immediately, and all coldness from his eyes disappeared and was replaced by an apologetic look.
Jiang Xiaobai had never expected such a huge change in his attitude. “You’re apologizing rather quickly, but I don’t need your apology. You’ve held my hand for the entire night, and it’s swollen now. You can see it for yourself.”
Indeed, he held her hand so tightly that a purplish-red mark had appeared. Xiao Su had no idea how tightly he held it in his dreams.
No matter what, he felt very apologetic toward her now.
No matter what she said right now, Xiao Su had nothing to object against.
After looking back at her hand again, Xiao Su had no reason to defend himself, so he spoke, “I know this was entirely my fault. How should I make it up to you? Or how would you like to punish me?”
Make it up to me? Punish him?
Jiang Xiaobai would definitely choose the former choice.
After all, she didn’t have any fetish to punish others, and it wouldn’t bring her any benefits anyway. However, looking at Xiao Su’s obedient look, she realized he looked completely different from just moments ago.
Perhaps…
Xiao Su didn’t realize the sly look that flitted across Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes.
She started to act pitiful. “Forget it. I know you didn’t mean it. After all, you are heartbroken. It’s reasonable that you don’t remember anything after you got drunk. I’m not holding it against you, seeing that I’m such a magnanimous person. However, since I helped you yesterday, you now owe me a favor.”
I owe her a favor?
Xiao Su frowned slightly. Owing someone else a favor was something that most people would not want. After all, if one owed someone else money, they would only have to pay them back. However, owing someone else a favor entailed that the person involved wouldn’t know when the favor would be repaid, and it would cause a psychological burden.
However, as Xiao Su sat on the cold floor and looked at the red marks caused by him, he had no reason to reject her since he had hurt her.
“No problem. If you need any help in the future, feel free to call me.”
With that, Xiao Su sat upright. After seeing a blanket on him, a peculiar look flashed across his eyes. Unexpectedly, she is quite kind.
However, after thinking about it, he realized that it made sense; if she weren’t kind, she would never have brought him back to her place.
Luckily, I’m a decent man.
Thinking of this, Xiao Su looked at Jiang Xiaobai’s clear eyes before reminding her, “In the future, you’d better not deal with matters like this in the future.”
