Chapter 605: Chapter 606: It’s a Threat
Wen Xiao’ai spoke again and started crying.
Jun Moyan paused while cleaning her wounds, feeling as though his emotions were a mix of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, really not a pleasant feeling.
He lifted his head and looked at her.
Her eyes were swollen from crying, her nose was red, and her tears made her hair stick to her face—a pitiful sight of someone worn out by grievances.
"Is this a threat?"
"Does this threat work?" Wen Xiao’ai asked with a sniffle.
Jun Moyan chuckled, with a tone full of helplessness, "What do you think?"
"Then it’s a threat."
Whatever it is, as long as it works.
"You’ve really got me wrapped around your finger, can’t shake you off even if I tried." As Jun Moyan spoke, he lowered his head to continue applying medicine on her wound, saying:
"If I had known you were so clingy..." Jun Moyan left his sentence unfinished, not knowing what else to say.
If he had known she was this clingy... but isn’t it exactly because he likes her being clingy?
"If you had known I was so clingy, would you want to leave me?" Wen Xiao’ai asked with grievance.
"No." How could he possibly leave her? More like he couldn’t treasure her enough, let alone bear to let her go.
"I’m not clingy, I’m just clingy with you."
She’s really not that clingy, she doesn’t know why she’s just so attached to him, even missing him after not seeing him for just a minute.
Initially, it was because she needed to repair her inner core, so she stuck to him, but gradually it became a habit, and now it’s an addiction.
In the past, she could really do things well on her own, but after meeting Jun Moyan, she wanted to rely on him, wanted him to care for her, even wished she had more little problems, so Jun Moyan would feel more sorry for her.
Jun Moyan sighed softly; if he heard Wen Xiao’ai say things like this before, he would’ve secretly rejoiced, but now, it’s a mix of bitterness and joy.
"...I know."
Of course, he knows she’s only clingy to him, because there’s no one else she would give up her dignity and everything for in such a way.
Jun Moyan said nothing more, carefully applied the medicine for her, then coaxed her to sleep.
Wen Xiao’ai personally locked the door tightly, and insisted on having Jun Moyan help move the bedside table to block the door, afraid he might disappear while she slept.
This insecure behavior from Wen Xiao’ai undoubtedly added another weight to Jun Moyan’s already burdened heart.
Jun Moyan didn’t want her to be unable to sleep peacefully even with him, so he hid all his stress, bitterness, and negative emotions in his belly, not showing it on his face or in his eyes, and even his words were free of dispiritedness, just like before, only to reassure Wen Xiao’ai.
Neither of them could leave the other for now, nor could they be heartless enough to make any decisions. What the future holds, or even if there is a future, Jun Moyan doesn’t know.
Taking it as it comes, one step at a time, is the only choice he sees ahead.
Even knowing that their current reluctance and lack of resolve will make it harder for the two of them to part and bring more pain later, what else can he do.
He can’t drive Xiaoguai away, nor does he have the heart to do so.
So be it.
Jun Moyan hugged the person in his arms tighter, a satisfied smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
At least he can still hold her like this now, and that’s already very good.
Bai Yi watched Wen Xiao’ai and Jun Moyan go upstairs, then entered the hall and asked Xiaocha, who was also moved to tears by Wen Xiao’ai’s emotions:
"What’s going on? Why was Miss Wen crying? Did the third young master bully her?"
"I don’t know." Xiaocha wiped her tears, her good mood gone, and followed, feeling miserable.
