Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 716 - 11: His Gentleness Feels Unreal to Her
She was truly, truly in despair with this world...
"Brother, I’m tired, I really, really want to rest..."
"No! I forbid it!"
Si Nan suddenly grabbed her frail shoulders and shook her vigorously, his eyes blood-red as he stared at her, "Tang Yige, you listen to me! I forbid it! Did you hear me?"
Tang Yige looked at him powerlessly, her eyes devoid of any light except redness, "Why..."
"Because you must wait for me!" Si Nan’s handsome face was as tense as cold, hard marble.
Hearing his words.
Yige’s tears spilled once again.
Si Nan looked at her tears, this time he did not hesitate, he suddenly hooked her trembling shoulders and hugged her tightly.
A pair of eyes, in a place Tang Yige couldn’t see, deep as the black night.
And in a place neither of them noticed, a pair of eyes was silently watching this side.
...
The studio.
With emotions calming down, Yige sat on the sofa, biting her lip and shyly peeking at the man in front of the fridge, who was wrapping ice in a handkerchief.
Si Nan could feel the gaze Yige cast towards him, but he pretended not to.
After wrapping the ice, Si Nan skillfully tied the four corners of the handkerchief, closed the fridge door, and walked towards Yige.
Seeing him come over, Yige immediately sat up straight, pressing her lips tighter, looking at him anxiously and nervously.
Si Nan stood before her, first looking down at her for a few seconds, then handing her the handkerchief.
Yige’s lashes fluttered, reaching out gracefully to take it from his hand, cautiously placing it over her eyes.
When Si Nan sat on the sofa beside her, he clearly saw Yige’s body stiffened.
Si Nan’s dark lashes lowered slightly, still maintaining a calm demeanor.
The air was filled with silent molecules.
Yige tugged at her eyelids, unconsciously pressing the handkerchief with the ice around her eyes.
Her heartbeat was quick, loud, thundering like a drum beating fiercely in her chest.
Yige was worried, that he might hear it!
"Really not going to see a doctor?"
Si Nan suddenly spoke, his voice gentle, no longer as cold as it was when they first met.
Tang Yige looked at him in surprise, her big eyes widening like gongs.
Well, because her eyes were swollen now.
So saying they were like gongs was a bit exaggerated.
"No, no need." Tang Yige stuttered.
Si Nan turned his head slightly to look at her, his eyes clear and gentle, just like many years ago.
Tang Yige looked at him, feeling as if ages had passed.
"Go out more, don’t always stay cooped up here, okay?" Si Nan said softly.
"...Hmm." Tang Yige’s mind stopped working, her fox-like eyes filled with confusion over what’s real and what’s dream.
His gentleness made her feel unreal!
She wondered if she was dreaming?
Thinking this, Tang Yige pinched her thigh hard...
"Hiss~~~" Pain!
Tang Yige frowned with the pain, biting her lower lip with a gasp.
While feeling this pain, she thought.
She felt pain, which meant she wasn’t dreaming!
This was all real...
Tang Yige’s cheeks grew hotter, she slightly raised an eyelid to glance at Si Nan.
Unexpectedly, he was looking at her too, his gaze carrying a hint of mischief.
Yige felt embarrassed, quickly shifting her gaze, lowering her lashes, pretending she hadn’t seen anything.
Suddenly.
Yige felt a weight on her head.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Yige looked up anxiously, seeing Si Nan’s large hand lifted off her head.
Yige looked at him, memories flooding back in her eyes.
When they were young, he liked doing that.
Placing his hand lightly on her head, sometimes just leaving it there.
Back then, she thought he probably didn’t know where to put his hand, so he placed it on her head.
Sometimes he did it when he was thinking, placing his hand on her head.
It was peculiar.
She only needed to glance at him to know whether he just didn’t know where to put his hand or if he was thinking.
And when he was thinking, she would quietly sit by his side, lending her head to him.
But he hadn’t done this since he was twenty, when she was eighteen.
Not even...
She once saw him do it to Tang Ruan...
Tang Yige’s eyes showed desolation, as she slowly averted her gaze.
Si Nan immediately felt the change in Tang Yige’s emotions.
He slightly furrowed his clear brows, looking at her, "What’s wrong?"
"...Don’t do that anymore."
Tang Yige said quietly.
Si Nan was momentarily stunned, his pupils becoming quietly deep.
After a while, Tang Yige heard nothing from him.
She lightly bit her lip, placing the ice bag onto the coffee table before the sofa, then got up from the sofa, kneeling before Si Nan’s leg, gently holding his left leg, placing his cumbersome foot onto her knee, applying an appropriate amount of pressure in a massage.
Si Nan looked down at Tang Yige’s long, lowered lashes, but his heart felt as if it was being pierced by sharp, fine needles.
Suddenly, Si Nan removed his leg from her knee.
As Tang Yige looked up in shock, he lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Seeing this crippled leg of mine, does it make you uncomfortable? Disgusted?"
"..."
Disgusted?
Tang Yige was taken aback, looking at him, "Brother, what are you talking about? How could I?"
How could she feel disgusted?
She couldn’t spill enough love and compassion!
"Keep your hypocritical face to yourself!"
Si Nan bent over, suddenly reaching out to clutch Tang Yige’s chin, his voice chilling and indifferent.
"Tang Yige, at this point, why not boldly admit, you, Tang Yige, disdain the crippled Si Nan. Do you know? If you candidly admit it before me, instead of being one way in front and another behind, perhaps I wouldn’t despise you as much as I do now!"
"..." Tang Yige stared at his eyes which were filled with hurt and intense hatred, unable to stop the chill creeping into her heart.
He actually thought that way...
But when had she ever acted one way in front and another behind with him?
