"I know! I misunderstood you. " Long Yi reached out his hand, wanting to grab Shen Lingxi back, but she took a step back so that he wouldn't touch her.
Shen Lingxi's face was pale. She tried to give her hands to Long Yi, but she couldn't take the first step.
Indeed, it was not that she was unwilling to approach Long Yi, but that the shadow left behind by Long Yi was too heavy for her to face him in such a short period of time.
She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but she didn't know how. She lowered her head and bit her lips. historical
"Xiao Xi..." Long Yi called out to her.
"Hmm?" She still didn't want to look up at him. She was ru
ing away.
"Let's go." "To eat." Long Yi wanted to reach out to grab her and put her down, so he took the lead to walk into the dining hall. However, he kept on observing Shen Lingxi, who was two steps behind him, to see if she was following him.
Even though there were no eyes in the back of his head, and he couldn't see her, he was sensitive enough to know that when he wasn't looking at her, her eyes were on him.
She was always like this these days, and only when he wasn't looking at her did she look at him openly, as if he were a stranger she had never known.
Perhaps, she was still not entirely sure whether or not he was his Long Yi.
Perhaps, it was because the harm he had done to her a while ago was too much. It was so that she would no longer be able to properly love him like before.
When he thought that she might never be able to accept him again, Long Yi's heart sunk, and his steps became much heavier. At this moment, he really wanted to turn around and embrace her who was behind him.
But he couldn't, because he would scare her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn this life, he would never hurt her again. He would never let her be afraid again.
He had personally said that he would protect her well, he had said that he would absolutely not let anyone hurt her, but he was the one who had truly hurt her.
At the table, the two of them ate in silence. Neither of them spoke up to break the silence, until they both had a piece of meat between their chopsticks.
Shen Lingxi hurriedly took back her chopsticks and said, "Then I'm full ?? "Eat slowly."
She had only eaten two mouthfuls of rice. The rice in the bowl had not been touched and the food had not been eaten either. How could she possibly be full?
Long Yi placed some food into her bowl. "Come and eat with me a little more."
"Oh, okay." Shen Lingxi nodded, she picked up her chopsticks and ate two more mouthfuls of rice, but did not eat the dish that he gave her.
"Have some food." Long Yi gave her more food.
"Oh, okay." Shen Lingxi nodded obediently, then picked up the food he gave her and put it in her mouth, she was as obedient as a doll.
Seeing her current state, Long Yi was both angry and a
oyed. He put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is it really that painful to accompany me to eat?"
Shen Lingxi shook her head.
The Long Yi sighed, then said: "Then you better accompany me to eat."
"Yes." Shen Lingxi nodded, straightened her body, picked up some vegetables and placed them in her mouth, then ate another two mouthfuls of rice.
Seeing that she was serious about eating, Long Yi picked up his chopsticks again.
He picked up a piece of red braised pork she'd made and popped it in his mouth.
Shen Lingxi knew that the Long Yi liked to eat meat, and especially liked the Red Braised Meat.
She had also learned from her cooking auntie, but she did not know if she was not fated to be in the kitchen. She had never cooked a single serving of Red Braised Meat before.
Today, she had secretly practiced with the Red Braised Meat for several days. After wasting several plates, she thought that the taste was still alright.
Seeing Long Yi eat a piece of Red Braised Meat, she couldn't help but stick his chopsticks out for him to pinch. "If it's delicious, you should eat more."
"It's delicious." Long Yi looked at her and saw that his pale face was flushed red with great difficulty. He was in a good mood, so he ate another two pieces.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you often in the future." Shen Lingxi had said those words before, but at that time, she wasn't as cautious as she was now.
"Alright." Vaguely, the Shen Lingxi from before surfaced in front of Long Yi's eyes.
Because the Shen Family's family was a complicated place, Shen Lingxi's parents passed away early. She grew up by her grandfather's side, and was often excluded by the rest of the Shen Family.
At such a young age, she had learned to hide her true emotions. Only in front of him did she reveal her true self.
It was only when it was in front of him that he would see a happy and carefree Shen Lingxi.
But now, even in front of him, it was hard to see how truly happy she was.
After this conversation, the two of them did not speak again. The restaurant was so quiet that even a needle dropping onto the floor could be heard.
Ring, ring, ring...
The phone rang, breaking the silence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was Shen Lingxi's phone.
She apologetically smiled to Long Yi before taking her phone. When she saw that it was an unfamiliar number, she didn't want to answer it, but she was worried that she might miss a call. She politely answered: "Hello!"
"Xiao Xi, is that you?" A male's voice came out from the phone, a male's voice that Shen Lingxi was extremely familiar with.
"Who are you?" This voice shocked Shen Lingxi, frightened Shen Lingxi, and frightened Shen Lingxi. She couldn't help but raise her head to look at the man sitting in front of her.
Long Yi sat right in front of her.
"It's me." the man said again.
"Who the hell are you?" Shen Lingxi was afraid, but she tried her best to control herself and stop herself from being afraid. However, the hand holding the phone started to tremble uncontrollably, and the trembling got stronger and stronger.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?" Seeing her pale face, Long Yi reached out to grab her phone, but Shen Lingxi immediately jumped up, hiding far away from her.
Her beautiful eyes looked at him warily. "Tell me, who are you?"
She was asking a question, but it was unknown if she was asking about the person on the phone or the Long Yi in front of her.
The Long Yi sensed something and tried to get closer to her to take the phone from her hands.
Why did it suddenly make her so scared?
But just as he took a step forward, Shen Lingxi immediately retreated.
"Xiao Xi, don't be afraid! Give me your cell phone, and I'll handle whatever it is, okay? " Seeing Shen Lingxi's alarmed and wary eyes, Long Yi did not approach her anymore, trying to make her lower her guard against him.
Shen Lingxi shook his head and retreated step by step, shouting hoarsely, "I don't care who you are, but don't come near me, don't come near me, stay away from me."
Long Yi panicked: "Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"
At the same time, a familiar male voice came out of the phone: "Xiao Xi, it's me. Don't tell me you can't even recognize my voice? "
