In the beginning, she only nibbled on it, but later, she ate it all up. She did not care about her image at all, but in Xu Qingmo's eyes, it seemed a little more natural.
When a person was starving, they should eat big bites, and even eat small bites for the sake of image. That was purely torture.
At that moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out. It was pitch black.
Power cut!
In the old sector, power outages were a common occurrence.
It was just that this way, female white collar would never be able to see Xu Qingmo's true appearance.
In the darkness, Xu Qingmo heard the female white collar heave a sigh of relief. He probably didn't know how to face a stranger like Xu Qingmo either, now that the power had been cut and they didn't need to look each other in the eye, it made her feel a little more at ease.
"There's no electricity." Xu Qingmo said.
"Hmm, this district often has power outages, stopping for one night every time." female white collar said.
"Fine." If it was just him, with the power cut, Xu Qingmo would definitely go outside to stay at the hotel. But with female white collar here, it would be hard for him to leave.
female white collar was obviously driven out by her husband, becoming homeless. If he were to leave again, female white collar would not even have a place to stay.
Bringing female white collar to get a room was a good choice, but female white collar would definitely not agree to it.
"This is not my house, so you can only sleep on the sofa at night." Xu Qingmo said to the female white collar.
female white collar was startled, she had not said that he wanted to stay the night.
Xu Qingmo laughed: "Can you go home?"
female white collar became silent. She knew her husband's temper. If he was kicked out, he wouldn't be able to go home.
"Thank you." female white collar thought for a moment, then silently agreed to stay the night.
"Do you want a bath?" Xu Qingmo asked again.
female white collar hesitated. He had met with many things today and was busy with work, so he really wanted to take a bath. However, this was at someone else's home.
"There's no electricity. Even if the bathroom door is open, I won't be able to see anything." Xu Qingmo asked, "You didn't change your clothes, right?"
"My clothes are new, no need to change." This meant that she wanted to bathe.
"I'll take you there." Xu Qingmo stretched out his hand.
female white collar also extended her hand, but he did not hold Xu Qingmo's hand, but grabbed onto her sleeve.
Xu Qingmo knew the layout of the Xia Xiaotong's house. Furthermore, because he had trained in the Immortal Instruction of the Longevity, he was able to see his surroundings a little in the darkness.
"Aiya!"
Along the way, female white collar bumped into a chair, and suddenly fell onto Xu Qingmo's body.
Xu Qingmo reached out his hands to support her waist so that she wouldn't fall down completely.
"I'm sorry." female white collar got up.
Xu Qingmo did not bring her along, but brought the stool that was just knocked down by the female white collar to her side.
"Sit down. You've been injured."
"No, nothing." female white collar hurriedly said.
Seeing the female white collar insisting, Xu Qingmo did not say anymore and continued to lead her towards the bathroom, but this time, Xu Qingmo carefully kicked away all the stools that passed by, so that the female white collar behind him would not hit anything else.
female white collar couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he heard the sound of Xu Qingmo pushing away the heavy object as he followed behind Xu Qingmo.
Her husband had never been so careful.
After arriving at the bathroom, Xu Qingmo sent female white collar in and left. He rummaged through the cabinet on the side and found two towels that had not been opened and gave them to female white collar.
When female white collar took the towel, he accidentally touched it with his fingertips.
Dark night, a single man and a single woman. At the entrance of the bathroom, all the environmental factors were present …
female white collar quickly retracted his hand and closed the bathroom door.
Xu Qingmo replied to the question on the sofa. Not long later, he heard the splashing sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Although Xu Qingmo was an experienced man, but in this kind of environment, hearing the sound of the water, his heart still felt a little hot.
Especially since female white collar was a newlyweds, and the most important thing was to hear the argument between her and her husband. She actually had not consummated the marriage with her husband yet!
The reason behind this was thought-provoking, and it made the female white collar even more tempting.
Think of how a newly-wed young woman gives you that feeling before she even has a chance to get married to her husband.
However, Xu Qingmo only thought about it, he was not the kind of pervert who would go to the wormhole to think.
Furthermore, it was not easy to surrender to female white collar's temper. It could be seen from the elevator, and being able to remain innocent even after being married for so many days, was greatly related to her unyielding character.
Suddenly, Xu Qingmo heard, amidst the crashing of the water, a faint sound of someone crying.
When he heard it again, he knew it wasn't wrong. The female white collar was actually crying inside.
It was true that even though he didn't know the reason for a woman being chased out of the house by her husband, she still couldn't go home to spend the night. It was truly pitiful.
"AHH!"
Just listening to it, female white collar turned over his voice again, it should be in pain.
"What's wrong? Did you fall down? " Xu Qingmo hurriedly asked.
"No, no." female white collar said, but when he spoke, his voice was a little short, and contained a few sounds of inhaling cold air.
Xu Qingmo thought for a while and understood, "It's a wound on your leg, right? Previously, he was injured by a chair and didn't treat it. Now that he's been touched by water, it's naturally very painful. "
"Yes." female white collar was already feeling terrible in his heart. Now that his legs were hurting again, he finally could not hold it in anymore.
"Your legs can't get wet again. I'll go find something to bandage them with." After that, he felt around in the darkness and found the first aid kit, which contained some gauze and bandages that Xia Xiaotong normally prepared.
"Knock knock." Xu Qingmo knocked on the bathroom door.
"It's just a slit, I'll pass it in." Xu Qingmo said.
It was so dark that you couldn't see much even if the door was open. The female white collar hesitated for a moment, before opening the door a crack.
Xu Qingmo passed the things inside and waited outside. Then, a loud crashing sound came from inside.
Needless to say, female white collar really fell down this time. As the ground was slippery and it was dark, it would be difficult for her to bandage her legs.
"Are you all right? Do you need my help? " Xu Qingmo said.
female white collar gasped from the pain. He desperately needed help, but hesitated.
"There's a blackout. I can't see anything. I'm just helping you out." Xu Qingmo said.
"Yes." female white collar tried a few times and realized that he wouldn't be able to stand up on his own no matter how hard he tried.
Xu Qingmo no longer had any worries, and with a tinge of excitement, he opened the bathroom door and walked in.
The bathroom was very dark, and even with Xu Qingmo's eyesight, he actually couldn't see anything. He could only vaguely make out the figure of the female white collar, and if he wanted to see the spring sunlight, he could only rely on his imagination.
female white collar was half lying on the ground and a towel was covering the most important part of his body. The first aid kit's contents spilled all over the floor.
Xu Qingmo reached out to the two sides of female white collar's arm and helped him up. He sat on the edge of the bathtub and then lowered his head to pick up the scattered gauze and bandages.
Water splattered onto the female white collar's body, splashing onto Xu Qingmo's back.
Very quickly, Xu Qingmo's clothes were also drenched.
"These gauze are all wet. I can't bandage it for you." Xu Qingmo said as he picked up the last piece of gauze.
female white collar stared blankly at him, recovering from his bashfulness: "Then what do we do?"
"You can only wash it carefully, and it's not good for you to stand, right?" Xu Qingmo said.
The female white collar nodded.
"I'll hold the spray head and pour water over you. How about you wash yourself?" Xu Qingmo said, "If that's the case, it would be better if I did not spray any of your legs."
female white collar was even more embarrassed, but he thought about it and agreed.
Darkness was the veil of everything.
The female white collar sat on the side of the bathtub. Xu Qingmo used his spraying head to spray her body, while she used his fastest speed to wash her body.
For a moment, the only sound in the bathroom was the sound of water. It was a little awkward.
"Why were you driven out?" Finally, Xu Qingmo saw the light.
female white collar's movements paused for a bit, then said: "You heard it."
"Yes, I heard a bit." Xu Qingmo said.
"I don't like him." The female white collar whispered.
"Then why did you marry him?" Xu Qingmo was surprised, no matter how he looked at it, female white collar was not the type of person that would be forced into marriage.
"I …" female white collar tidied up his thoughts before slowly saying, "When I just graduated from university, I was looking for a job everywhere. In the end, I met a bad guy again and was stuck in a small alley. I was almost given to him by them …"
female white collar could not continue speaking of this matter. Even if he did not succeed in this matter, it would still deal an immeasurable blow to a woman's heart.
Xu Qingmo patted female white collar's shoulder to comfort him, female white collar did not refuse.
"At the critical moment, it was him who appeared and saved me." The female white collar calmed his emotions and continued, "I am very grateful to him, and he just so happened to get divorced and then pursued me fiercely, pestering me to the point where it is useless for me to reject him. In the end, he even stood on the roof and proposed to me, saying that if I didn't agree to him, I would jump down and make me bear the responsibility of forcing my benefactor to his death."
"There is such a person!" Xu Qingmo was surprised, he had initially heard that female white collar's husband was willing to do whatever he wanted, but he never expected that he was actually this kind of person.
"I had no choice. At that time, there was no one who liked me, so I accepted him out of gratitude. However, I also made three agreements with him. Without my consent, we can't be husband and wife." However, because of what happened in the alley before, I started to have some resistance towards men, and I really don't like being touched by men. Recently, I managed to slowly overcome it with great difficulty, but he kept on quarreling with me, wanting to consummate my marriage. "
"Then you won't." Xu Qingmo said.
"Yes, I don't like him. Whether it is personality or habits, we are completely different people. Even if I overcome my fear of men, I still can't accept him." The female white collar said, "And recently, I met someone that caught my attention."
