Chapter 79

Bai Chuxiao gasped subconsciously, and Xi Shixiu, who was opposite her, immediately got up, grabbed her and walked into the bathroom that came with the box, rinsed her hands under cold water, and rang the service bell next to her .

The waiter who was on call at any time behind the door ran in at once: "Hello, what do you need?"

"Bring the burn ointment." Xi Shixiu helped Bai Chuxiao clean up her hands without turning her head, "Her hand was burned."

"Yes sir, I'll get it right away."

The waiter with the ponytail looked at this scene, gave Bai Chuxiao a jealous look, turned around and went out to get the burn ointment.

Xi Shixiu focused on Bai Chuxiao's hand and didn't see the waiter's eyes. Bai Chuxiao accepted everything!

That expression obviously misunderstood their relationship...

"Uh... Brother Shixiu, I'll do it myself."

Xi Shixiu's complexion was gloomy, his thin lips were tight, and he looked very serious.

In fact, it's not that serious, Bai Chuxiao only felt a little pain when she was burned at first, but Xi Shixiu's expression looked as if her hand was about to be broken...

Hearing what Bai Chuxiao said, he didn't say a word, nor did he let go. He still let the sauce on Bai Chuxiao's hands be cleaned bit by bit, with gentle movements, as if she was a glass doll that would shatter when touched.

After washing the sauce on top, Xi Shixiu picked up the towel beside him and carefully dried the water. Bai Chuxiao didn't even feel the touch of the towel on his hand, and the water was already dried.

Such careful treatment was really rare for Bai Chuxiao, and she blushed a little out of habit.

"Hi sir, here's the burn ointment for you."

The waiter quickly brought over a piece of burn ointment. Xi Shixiu frowned and looked at the injury on Bai Chuxiao's hand. Finally, he found that it was only slightly red and there were no other serious symptoms, so he was relieved.

He raised his head to look at the waiter, smiled slowly, and reached out to take the burn ointment.

"Thanks."

This smile was like a spring breeze, the waiter blushed for a while, lowered his head, and stuttered.

"No, you're welcome, this is what I should do."

Smiling shyly, he backed out tactfully.

The cold ointment is very comfortable to apply on the hands, and after applying it, even the last trace of strange burning sensation is gone.

"Don't touch the water after you go back, and take good care of your injuries in the past two days."

Listening to Xi Shixiu's words, Bai Chuxiao burst out laughing: "Oh brother Shixiu, you are too nervous. This little injury is just a common occurrence for me. There is no need to rest."

When she was in Bai's house, the injury she suffered every day in the taekwondo class didn't know how many times more painful than this one. It was just a burn. To her, it was a trivial matter.

Seeing Bai Chuxiao's nonchalant expression, Xi Shixiu frowned, and tightened his grip on her hand.

Seeing that the sentence he used to adjust the atmosphere didn't work, Bai Chuxiao felt a little embarrassed.

"Uh...Brother Shixiu?"

Xi Shixiu paused, fixedly looked at Bai Chuxiao's slightly red hand for a while, and then slowly raised his head to look at Bai Chuxiao with an extremely serious expression.

Seeing that expression, Bai Chuxiao had an intuition that something uncontrollable might happen next, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but Xi Shixiu's eyes locked her tightly like magic.

"Chu Xiao, I've been looking for you for so many years." Xi Shixiu smiled wryly, "But Mrs. Bai's power is so powerful, I can't get even half a clue from her."

"I saw you at the banquet last night. For a moment, I thought it was a dream. I was afraid that you hadn't come back, or that you would disappear in the blink of an eye."

Xi Shixiu smiled wryly: "In these years, I don't know if you are doing well, so I dare not ask you about your situation outside."

Bai Chuxiao suddenly realized.

Only then did she understand why the atmosphere was so good when the two of them were chatting.

Both of them deliberately did not mention the points that the other might find embarrassing, and only picked interesting things to tell each other.

But at least for her, the hard work is always greater than the fun when she is alone.

"At that time I didn't have enough strength to protect you, but it's different now." Xi Shixiu pursed his lips, looking a little nervous, "Chu Xiao, let me take care of you, okay? I won't let you If you get hurt, you won’t be bullied again.”

"I……"

Bai Chuxiao bit her lip, and the trembling of Xi Shixiu's hand was transmitted through the connected skin. Those words had reached her throat, and she couldn't say anything if she wanted to refuse.

Xi Shixiu's originally prepared confession is not today.

But seeing Bai Chuxiao's strong smile just now, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He didn't want to see her hurt again, and he didn't want her to face those jackals alone.

"Originally, I didn't intend to tell you today, but—"

Xi Shixiu paused: "I can't control myself when I see you."

Bai Chuxiao's heart beat violently, and the sour emotion inside filled her atrium to the brim.

The person she has liked since she was a child, the person she has been forcibly suppressing in her heart and worshiping silently, confessed to her!

When they were young, the relationship was hazy, and they only held hands at most. The most touching thing in their youth was the tacit understanding of each other, smiling and tacit understanding.

She has always liked him, or in other words, she has only liked him since she was a child.

but……

Bai Chuxiao pursed her lips, pulled her hand out of Xi Shixiu's hand slightly, "I'm sorry, brother Shixiu, I can't promise you."
