C148 – Shang Xiaojie Finally Woke up
“Darling, are you alright? Are you in pain? Feeling unwell?” Mu Sifa was deeply concerned as he gently touched Shang Xiaojie’s body.
Shang Xiaojie blushed instantly and stopped Mu Sifa’s hand in its tracks. He lowered his head and replied softly, “I’m okay, just a minor headache.” Both of them blushed furiously because they weren’t alone.
The current Shang Xiaojie remained clueless about what had happened. He had just learned from Huangfu Qiao that he had fallen down the cinema screening hall stairs.
“Just a headache?” Mu Sifa touched the wound on Shang Xiaojie’s forehead and pouted, as though coaxing a child.
Mu Sifa’s actions further embarrassed Shang Xiaojie. He gently nudged Wu Junzi and whispered, “Are there other people here?” Shang Xiaojie signaled Mu Sifa to assess the situation. However, Mu Sifa, in his anxious state, couldn’t help but feel a rush of joy. This clearly demonstrated his genuine concern for Shang Xiaojie.
Suddenly, Mu Sifa turned around and gave Huangfu Shao, Nong Mobai, and the others a stern glare. It seemed like they would hinder him if he allowed them to stay.
“I’m not leaving. I’m staying with Xiaojie,” Huangfu Qiao declared, unmoved by Mu Sifa’s glare. However, he did seek refuge behind Huangfu Shao, his fear still evident.
What should she do? Had he seen her?
Elina was visibly nervous, unsure if she had been spotted by Shang Xiaojie.
Shang Xiaojie was puzzled and tilted his head cutely as he asked, “Did I really get pushed down the stairs?”
Shang Xiaojie felt that if someone asked him that question, he might not think too deeply about it.
“Absolutely! How could you fall down the stairs at your age?” Mu Sifa suddenly grew frustrated.
Shang Xiaojie was startled and retreated, fidgeting with his fingers nervously, avoiding Mu Sifa’s gaze.
Only then did Mu Sifa realize he had raised his voice too much. He sighed and asked patiently, “Are you absolutely sure you didn’t feel someone pushing you?”
Shang Xiaojie stared at his fingers and replied timidly, “I don’t know. By the time I realized it, my feet were already off balance. I can’t say for sure if it was deliberate, but I don’t want to wrongly accuse anyone either.”
After all, they encountered numerous people, so Shang Xiaojie considered it a common occurrence.
