Luo Xichen rarely said such things. There was a hint of powerlessness in his tone, and there was even a hint of a request.
Sha Zhixing's eyes welled up after his words. She raised her head and looked at his exquisitely carved face. She nodded slightly, stood on her tiptoes, and hugged him back.
In fact, Sha Zhixing complained a lot about his words. She did not throw a tantrum with him at all. She was not the one who threw a tantrum. She had just left without asking for the reason, but she was afraid that he would be worried before she left. She had deliberately told him that she would be out for the next few days.
She had told him that she would not be back for the next few days on purpose before she left, so that he would not look for her everywhere.
However, she had stood him up that night under such an important situation. Sha Zhixing knew that there was something wrong with her, so she buried all her sarcasm in her heart.
Thinking of what had happened that night, she put her hand on his arm and smiled. "What did you prepare that night?"
Luo Xichen looked at her from the corner of his eyes and replied lazily, "Think about it yourself."
"Just tell me." Sha Zhixing nudged him with her elbow, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Luo Xichen's lips twitched slightly and his gaze fell on her face. "Good stuff."
"What good stuff?" Sha Zhixing asked.
"It's already overdue." Luo Xichen looked at her expressionlessly and walked in front to find a restaurant.
Sha Zhixing stood quietly on the spot and her eyes darkened as she looked at his straight back.
She could guess what kind of preparations he had made, but she couldn't figure out the details or how he had done it.
Was he not going to wait for her after the deadline?
She was a little disappointed, but she was more skeptical of his words.
If he was really not going to wait for her after the deadline, he probably wouldn't come here anymore, right?
She smiled and caught up with him in a few steps.
The two of them entered a nearby restaurant one after the other.
Sha Zhixing had actually eaten lunch, but she hadn't had much of an appetite in the past few days. She felt hungry when she saw Luo Xichen.
Luo Xichen did not eat after entering the restaurant. Instead, he watched her eat quietly.
He suddenly asked, "What happened that night?"
"Qinuo called me in the middle of the party and asked me to pick him up. It only took a few minutes. I didn't tell you about it, but there was a car accident outside. Qinuo was injured and passed out for a night to save me. I was busy taking care of him that night, so I didn't tell you." Sha Zhixing told him everything that had happened that night. Her tone was calm, and she was no longer as shocked as before.
Luo Xichen's face turned cold as he listened, and his eyes darkened.
"Why didn't you explain such an important matter that morning?"
"I didn't see that you were concerned about this at the time." Sha Zhixing glanced at him, and her tone was obviously sarcastic. Luo Xichen wanted to give her a good thrashing.
Sha Zhixing saw that his expression was starting to change again, and she quickly sat away from him.
"Come here." Luo Xichen closed his eyes, and there was no emotion in his tone.
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Sha Zhixing snorted in disdain. She wanted to move further back, but Luo Xichen walked up to her and pressed her into his arms.
