C85

He kissed my wound

Inside were a few small boxes of chocolates, necklaces, lipstick, a wad of bills, and a wilted rose.

I threw the roses in the trash can, wrapped my hands in an expensive silk scarf, and drove to Xia Ze's school. I didn't know if he was still waiting for me.

I dialed Xia Ze's number, and the phone rang for a long time before being connected.

"Xia Ze, where are you?" I tried to speak to him in my usual tone.

"What's the matter with you?" But Xia Ze immediately noticed the unusualness in my tone, he paused and continued, "You can come in, I will be at the zither room." He quickly gave out a list of addresses, then hung up.

I stared at the phone, although I was a little dissatisfied, but I also knew that I shouldn't have vented my hatred towards Cheng Ruojun onto Xia Ze.

I straightened my clothes again and went in.

I kept my head low and walked quickly towards the place Xia Ze pointed out. I had always been afraid of meeting young people, but because of my inferiority complex, I didn't have the superior conditions that he had. I came out to work in high school.

Finally, I reached the building that Xia Ze talked about, it was located at the corner of the school, and the building wasn't very tall. Because it was a long time ago, I saw that the peeling walls were filled with wall-climbing tigers, and the large leaves that wrapped around the building made people feel that it was a little eerie.

I took a deep breath and stepped through the door, feeling as if I had been splashed with ice water.

As soon as I got up the steps I heard the piano playing upstairs, a tune I hadn't heard before, to be exact, I'd barely heard any classical music, I'd always been a very rustic person. I don't understand those things.

The music that's playing here now is very good.

I slowly walked up. I already had a premonition that this was a song that Xia Ze could play. The fact that he could play the zither had surprised me a little, but he was an outstanding person to begin with.

I came to the place where Xia Ze was talking on the phone. Standing at the door, I saw that Xia Ze was sitting there playing the zither.

He was wearing a white shirt, and his sleeves were pulled up to show his wrists, which looked very strong, and I thought of something that wasn't good, something I, as the wife of someone else, forbade fantasy, but I couldn't help thinking about the feeling of his strong arms around me.

I stood quietly in the doorway, waiting for him to finish.

I looked at it for a while and suddenly felt uneasy, because it looked too good, so I thought it was a bit fake, and he did it on purpose.

I took a step back, wondering what kind of expression I was going to use to face him, but the music suddenly stopped.

Xia Ze turned his head and smiled at me. His smile was extremely warm under the afternoon sunlight, but the unreal feeling in my heart was growing stronger and stronger.

"Come in." Xia Ze called out, his voice was very clear and bright. This was a voice that only people of his age or those that most people thought they would have, he used this voice to disguise himself.

I took a step forward, and the light in the room was a little harsh.

Xia Ze finally lost the patience to wait for me. He walked towards me with large strides. His face still had a smile, but that smile made me feel that it was dangerous.

Xia Ze pulled my hand, but I didn't dodge. His cold hand woke me up.

"Someone will see it." I whispered.

"Just look." "I'm not afraid, are you?" Xia Ze looked at me, his eyes were so clear that I could see through them with one glance, but I felt like there was a sea hidden within his eyes.

"If Cheng Ruojun sees …" I don't really want to say that, but what else can I say? Do I have to say that I don't love you that much now? Please don't be so vague with me, but I can't bring myself to ask, and I don't want to lose my warmth.

Xia Ze pulled me in. His movements were light, as if he was holding a rare treasure.

Xia Ze placed me on the piano chair, he sat by my side, and I tilted my head to look at him. He was a very handsome young man, so I guessed that his mother would be extremely good-looking.

Xia Ze also turned his face to look at me. He looked at me very seriously, but he frowned, and said, "Did he hit you again?"

"Yes." "Nothing, I'm used to it." I wanted to talk to him about the fact that I had the upper hand today, but there was no way to talk about it. After mulling over it for a long time, I finally fell silent.

His eyes moved down to my hand, which was holding the scarf, and he tried to take my hand.

I ducked, but he grabbed it.

He looked at me, then opened the scarf for me. He saw that my palm had been cut by a rose thorn, but it was already scabbed and didn't hurt that much.

I looked at him, wondering what he would do next.

Xia Ze stared at the wound, and gently kissed it. His lips gently landed on my wound, and in that instant, I felt like it had healed by itself.

I was moved by him.

"I thought I told you that you had something to tell me." Xia Ze pursed his lips and said, this action of his made him look a little childish, but in reality, he was just a child to me.

I looked at Xia Ze for a long time, and finally said, "I don't know if I should tell you these things."

Xia Ze held my hand, and said a little urgently, "You can tell me, because I love you."

I stared at Xia Ze's face and smiled, his eyes were shining, and to me, he was like a star in the eternal night.

My fingertip landed on his face and gently caressed it. His face was smooth and full of elasticity, he was so young, yet he looked so sincere. He was completely different from Cheng Ruojun.

"What do you love about me?" I asked him. I had nothing to love, I was selfish, cowardly, stupid, and he was nothing like me.

When I asked this question, I didn't really intend to let him answer it, or whatever he did, I was willing to believe.

But I didn't expect him to be so bold.
