The weather was cold, especially on a rainy day.
It was a damp and cold weather, with chills to the bone brought by gusts of wind. Drizzles of rain were as cold as little icicles on the skin.
Shen Xi reflexively wanted to kick when she felt a sudden tug on her luggage. After taking a closer look at the person, she put down the suitcases. “Let go.”
Did he not just throw her out?
Why was he back?
Did he just grow a conscience?
“Give them to me.” Fu Qingxuan looked at her with an idle threat. “Hand the suitcases to me.”
Shen Xi pulled back and regained her grip on the suitcases while keeping a straight face on. Without sparing him another glance, she continued her journey with her luggage in hand.
Fu Qingxuan’s complexion was beaming red as he picked up the pace to catch up to her. He pulled her arm and said, “Come home with me.”
Shen Xi walked on without looking back. “Not going with you. That’s your home, not mine.”
Fu Qingxuan’s tone became fierce, but it was just all bark no bite. “Come back with me!”
Shen Xi coldly smirked and finally listlessly looked at him. “Please let go, Young Master Fu. I can’t afford nor do I want to stay at your house.”
Fuming, Fu Qingxuan’s eyes turned red. With a flicker in his eyes, he aggrievedly shouted at her, “Come… Come with me!”
Shen Xi was surprised and gazed back at him amusedly. “Why are you crying when you’re the one who drove me away?”
She never had the chance to be upset and cry!
Yet, there he was, acting all sad as though she bullied him!
“Who’s crying!” Fu Qingxuan cried out loud to disguise his awkwardness. Panic drove him to come up with an excuse. “I’m not crying. It’s the rain. Come back with me. Qingye’s going to kill me if he finds out you’re gone.”
“What does your brother killing you have to do with me?” Shen Xi scoffed and warned him. “Let go or I won’t hold back on you.”
“I won’t.” His narrow eyes were glossy from the tears and rain drops lingering on his luscious lashes. Yet, Fu Qingxuan was not turning his gaze away. “I’m not going to let go unless you come back with me.”
Shen Xi was having a blast. Jesus. The young master was so cute and adorable. Yet, she kept a blank look on her face. “Are you in your right mind? You’re the one who threw me out and you’re also the one who wants me back now. What makes you think I should listen to your every word?”
He was such a cub!
Fu Qingxuan appeared as though he was bullied before she could really give it to him. That look on his face motivated her to get a tease out of him.
Biting his lip, Fu Qingxuan made up his mind. “I’m sorry!”
Shen Xi was afraid that he may cry if she continued to refuse. She should forgive him and go with him since she had nowhere to go, and the young man had apologized. She enquired, “Are you going to throw me out again?”
Fu Qingxu replied, “You’re not allowed to stay in my sister’s room.”
She retorted, “Fair enough.”
He carried the suitcases and walked ahead.
With an umbrella over her head, Shen Xi strode happily behind him.
Fu Qingxuan turned around and glared at her, “You selfish brat! I’m in the rain!’
She pretended not to hear and blabbed about something else. “You’ve got great scenery here.”
He puffed his cheeks sulkily. What a mean girl. She was a bad girl, as bad as the rest of the Li family!
Shen Xi curled her lips at the young man who was clearly not having it. She caught up to him to share the umbrella.
Sensing that she was drawing close, Fu Qingxuan soon saw a cover above his head. He faintly grinned before throwing her a look of disdain. “Short legs.”
Gritting her teeth, Shen Xi glared at him. This was a personal attack. No way was she going to share the umbrella with him!
