88: Chapter 87 Tomorrow is a New Day!
In the midst of Li Chen’s struggle between the sensible and the instinctual, as he listened to the nagging of the two figures.
The sleeping beauty, Moo Xi, curled up trembling, her lips turning blue as she began to shout.
“Cold, cold, so cold…”
Seeing this, Li Chen slightly furrowed his brow, quickly stepped forward, and touched Moo Xi’s forehead with his palm.
So hot, has she got a fever?
No wonder, going out to face the wind at 4 in the morning, driving on mountain roads all day, and then spending the night drinking at COCO Bar, such neglect for herself, it would be strange if she didn’t fall ill!
“Cold, so cold, hold , hold …”
Looking at Moo Xi shivering, Li Chen’s heart softened, and he cursed “silly girl” before tightly embracing her.
Moo Xi nestled in Li Chen’s arms like a baby finding her mother, no longer making a fuss.
She moved like a cat, shifted her body, and found a comfortable position to quietly sleep.
“Li Chen, do you know?”
Li Chen looked at Moo Xi, asking: “Know what?”
Moo Xi did not answer, instead she talked deliriously.
“I rember it clearly, I was six that year, the sky was so blue, the clouds so white, mom went across to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make rice cakes for .
When she left, she reminded not to play in the street, to be careful of cars.”
“But after she left that day, she never ca back.
A large truck hit her and sent her flying, blood spilled all over the road…”
“Mom, mom, Little Xi doesn’t want rice cakes anymore, please co ho, Little Xi misses you so much, so much…”
By the end, she could hardly speak through her sobbing, tears streaking down her cheeks, falling drop by drop.
Looking at Moo Xi, tears streaming down her face like a pear blossom in the rain, Li Chen was visibly moved.
Yet for a mont, he didn’t know what to say to comfort this pitiful girl.
After a silence, he gently bent down and kissed away the tears on Moo Xi’s cheeks.
Warm and with a hint of bitterness.
“Moo Xi, I’m sorry!”
Moo Xi didn’t speak again but held Li Chen tightly.
Her body curled up into a bundle, like a baby sleeping peacefully in its mother’s arms.
Li Chen lifted the slightly ssy strands near her ear and gently kissed on her delicate, fair cheek.
“Sleep, forget all these unhappy things, tomorrow will be a new day!”
Moo Xi seed to hear Li Chen’s words, murmured softly, shifted her delicate body, and fell into a sweet sleep.
Faintly, one could see a sweet smile playing on her lips.
Unconsciously, Li Chen, holding Moo Xi, fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, early morning!
The bright sunlight, filtering through the window glass like rhythmic notes, softly woke Moo Xi from her sleep.
Her head felt a bit heavy, and she wanted to rub her Sun Temple.
Suddenly!
She realized sothing was wrong, and abruptly opened her drowsy eyes.
This seems like a hotel, and she was still lying in Li Chen’s arms?
In an instant, her mind went blank, buzzing.
“Ahhh!”
A piercing scream suddenly erupted, hurting Li Chen’s eardrums.
Li Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the bewildered Moo Xi, saying, “Why are you screaming like a ghost so early in the morning?”
Moo Xi stared with her sparkling big eyes, unblinkingly looking at Li Chen.
“Why are you here?”
Li Chen thought for a mont and said, “You were drunk last night…”
“I was drunk, so you took advantage of ?”
Li Chen didn’t expect Moo Xi’s associative thinking to be so powerful, he was a little stunned on the spot.
“No, you misunderstood!”
Moo Xi’s face darkened: “Misunderstood?
You’re still holding now, it’s clear as day, and you still have the nerve to say this is a misunderstanding?”
“Uh?”
For a mont, Li Chen really didn’t know how to explain the situation.
Seeing that Li Chen didn’t respond, Moo Xi beca like a furious little leopard, using hands and feet, kicking and scratching.
“Ah ah ah, Li Chen, if you don’t like , why do you still touch ?
You jerk, what do you take , Moo Xi, for?”
Watching Moo Xi acting all neurotic, Li Chen got a bit annoyed, and forcefully held down her shoulders.
“What are you freaking out about?
Calm down and let explain!”
Moo Xi struggled forcefully, her eyes wide open, and hysterically started shouting.
“You’re the one freaking out, you jerk, taking advantage of soone.
I used to like you so much, sob, sob…”
By the end, her voice was choked with sobs as she started to wipe away tears.
At this mont, Li Chen was completely bewildered.
He felt even more wronged than that Dou’e; with the current situation, not even jumping into the Yellow River or even the Pacific Ocean could clear his na.
Seeing that Moo Xi cald down a bit, he finally started speaking: “Moo Xi, listen to my explanation…”
Moo Xi glared at Li Chen intensely, her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes wide.
“All the evidence is here, what more is there to explain?”
Li Chen gathered his thoughts and briefly explained what happened last night.
“It’s just like that, believe it or not!”
After listening to Li Chen’s recount, Moo Xi looked confused.
Last night, the one who was drunk, talking nonsense, and lying all sprawled out on the ground…
was that really her?
Ah ah ah, how could she have beco like that?
Moo Xi grabbed her hair, her face a picture of despair.
She couldn’t believe it was all real, but Li Chen’s clear, bright eyes told her that all those neurotic things did indeed happen last night.
After calming herself down, she blinked her eyes and asked Li Chen.
“Last night, you just held the whole night and didn’t do anything else?”
Li Chen rubbed his nose, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “What else are you referring to?”
“Stop it, you know very well and yet you ask on purpose!”
Moo Xi blushed deeply, imdiately hanging her head low.
Although her outer clothing was disheveled, her underwear was intact and untouched.
Everything Li Chen said was true; last night, he really just held her while they slept.
Realizing this, a wave of relief washed over Moo Xi.
However, as she sobered up, a trace of sadness erged in her clear, watery eyes.
Then, subconsciously, she glanced at her own body from the corner of her eye.
Tall, elegant, a graceful and refined beauty, could this guy really not be tempted?
Thinking this, Moo Xi imdiately ca to two conclusions.
First: Li Chen is blind.
Secondly, Li Chen has a hidden illness.
Moo Xi glanced at Li Chen’s wide, round eyes, imdiately ruling out the first possibility.
Then, Moo Xi blinked and tentatively asked, “Do you have so kind of hidden illness?”
