Chapter 9: A CUSTOM-MADE GIFT

The voice was soft and helpless, like a frightened little rabbit. She used the form she used to call him when he was young.

Luo Xichen's hands stopped moving as he looked at her in a daze.

How long had it been since she had called him that?

Sha Zhixing observed his reaction without batting an eyelid. She put her hands on his and carefully tried to push his arms away from her, but Luo Xichen's body pressed down on her again.

Sha Zhixing's body stiffened. She was so scared that she did not dare to move.

"Be good and call me again." Luo Xichen locked his eyes on her and smiled.

"Brother Luo." Sha Zhixing was a good judge of the situation. If she did not agree with him now, her brain would be stuck.

"Louder." Luo Xichen seemed to enjoy the way she called him. His expression was a lot happier.

"Brother Luo, get up first!" Sha Zhixing looked at the two of them and called out again.

"It's a little low." Luo Xichen was not satisfied at all.

Sha Zhixing looked at him.

Why am I calling you that? Do you think I'm calling you that!

Luo Xichen looked at her leisurely, as if he had no intention of letting her go.

Sha Zhixing held back her temper and took a few deep breaths. She called out to him a few times. "Brother Luo..."

Luo Xichen's lips curved into a faint smile as he listened to her soft words in satisfaction. When he looked away, his eyes fell on her chest, which was heaving up and down due to the deep breaths. He thought of the scene he had seen on the balcony. He felt hot again.

He had wanted to make fun of her earlier, but now...

Damn it, he really wanted to do something to her!

Sha Zhixing was already nineteen years old, and the two of them were so close to each other. She could almost feel the changes in his body at the first moment.

Her gaze turned stiffly to his face. She did not know where she got the courage to do this, but she suddenly slapped him. "Luo Xichen, you're dirty!"

The sound of the slap was particularly crisp in the heated room.

Luo Xichen had never been hit by anyone before. Now that he had been slapped so hard, his ears were buzzing.

He was stunned for a while and looked at her stiffly.

She dared to hit him?

Sha Zhixing looked at his ugly face and pushed him away from her. She rushed into the bathroom.

The door was closed with a bang.

She ran faster than a rabbit.

Luo xichen looked at the closed bathroom door and was stunned for a while. His fingers touched his burning face stiffly.

This girl had hit him hard.

He seemed to have gone too far just now.

Sha Zhixing's heart was beating fast, and her face was as red as a ripe tomato. It was not because she was shy or anything, but because she had just run away in a hurry.

Luo Xichen had grown up. No one would dare to do this to him, would they?

She knew Luo Xichen's temper well under normal circumstances. He would never hit a woman, but she did not know how he would react in that situation.

The bedroom was very quiet. There was no sound of footsteps leaving or approaching the bathroom. Luo Xichen seemed to be still standing in the same place.

Sha Zhixing did not dare to relax her nerves as he did not leave.

She was not afraid that Luo Xichen would hit her. She was afraid that the incident would happen again when the two of them were together.

The two of them were silent through the door.

It was not until a long while later that Luo Xichen's deep voice slowly sounded. "That necklace was custom-made for you. There is no motive or need for you to sell yourself. It is done. Just take it. There is no psychological burden. If you don't take it, it will lose its original meaning."

Sha Zhixing was stunned after hearing his words.

Custom-made for her?

That's right. The pendant of the necklace was in the shape of a hollow star. It was her favorite style.

Sha Zhixing actually liked this necklace very much. She liked it at first sight, not because of the value of the necklace, but because of its unique design. Besides, she liked ornaments with stars.

Besides, this little money was just a piece of cake for Luo Xichen.

It seemed that she was really thinking too much...

"I'll leave the things here. I'll go back first." Luo Xichen's voice came from the room again.

Sha Zhixing listened to him quietly and still had no intention of opening the door.

Luo Xichen looked at the door that was still tightly closed. He smiled helplessly and walked towards the door step by step.

The doorknob turned and the door closed gently.

Sha Zhixing stood in the bathroom and listened to the sound of the door being closed. She only opened the bathroom door carefully when she heard Luo Xichen's footsteps in the corridor.

She walked slowly to the dressing table and opened the thin necklace in her hand. Sha Zhixing's eyes were a little lost as she looked at the bright light of the diamonds on it.

The pendant had two stars, one big and one small. They were two independent individuals, but some of them were intertwined with each other in a regular way. It was as if they were two completely unrelated people whose fates were unintentionally intertwined, like him and her...

It was obvious that Luo Xichen had put a lot of effort into this gift. Sha Zhixing was a little touched. After all, not everyone would treat their neighbors so well.

However, when she thought about what Luo Xichen had done on the sofa, her touched feelings quickly turned into unease.

What puzzled her the most was when Luo Xichen had come in? She had been keeping an eye on the outside after taking a shower in the bathroom. She had only opened the door when she had not heard any footsteps.

Sha Zhixing could not figure out how Luo Xichen had come in. Combined with the fact that he had been standing on the balcony when she first saw him, she naturally thought that he had come from the opposite balcony.

The two rooms were facing each other. The windows of the rooms were facing each other and the balconies were facing each other. The two balconies were only about a meter apart. There was a big magnolia tree planted in the middle of the two rooms. Luo Xichen had long legs. When she was young, Sha Zhixing could easily climb from her room to his room.

She had done this a few times when she went to his house. It was much more convenient to enter from such a close distance than from the front door. However, when she was young, she had to use the magnolia tree in the middle of the two rooms to get there.

Sha Zhixing used to be proud of the convenience of the design of the two rooms. However, after what happened tonight, she began to complain about the design of the two balconies for the first time.

If Luo Xichen really came from the balcony tonight, how unsafe would she be in the future?

Who came up with such a genius design in the first place?
