Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon

Chapter 397 Special

"Her existence is very special. I really can’t tell you right now." Ou Jue’s deep eyes seemed to carry countless stars as he gazed at Xiyan, unwavering and candid."I can sense it. She is indeed special." Xiyan nodded, the curve of her lips tinged with bitterness. "Special enough that, for the first time, you hung up on my call because of her. Special enough that, for the first time, you left me in the middle of a date because of her."

Ou Jue’s thin lips pressed into a well-defined line.

That "her" was, indeed, special.

A kind of special unrelated to love.

But this matter—he wasn’t ready to explain it to this little fool just yet.

To be exact,

Ou Jue was afraid...

Afraid that this little fool would find out the truth.

Ou Jue’s long fingers sank into his dark hair as a mocking smile tugged at his lips.

He had never imagined that he could care for someone so much—so much that he feared they might leave.

In his heart, it was as if a voice echoed: Ou Jue, you’re doomed. You’re utterly, completely trapped, and there’s no way out.

Xiyan closed her eyes, trying hard to calm her emotions. "Alright, I get it. You have your reasons, and I have my lack of understanding. Just tell me—until you’re ready to tell me the truth, how do you plan to handle the relationship between the two of us?"

Leaning against the headboard, Ou Jue pulled her tightly into his arms. "The same as before."

"I can’t do that. You should just go to her."

"Not going." Ou Jue’s embrace tightened, as if trying to merge her entirely into his being. "I’ll stay with you these next few days. We’ll continue completing those 20 things."

"Does it even matter?"

"It does."

"It doesn’t matter anymore."

"I said it does, and it does." Holding Xiyan from behind, Ou Jue buried his handsome face into the crook of her neck. His voice was low, like a child’s, as he pleaded, "Xia Xiyan, don’t push me away."

...That tone—was that a hint of grievance?

Xiyan was utterly stunned. Seriously, what just happened?

"Ou Jue, do you have no shame?" Obviously, he was the one who had left her behind, yet now he seemed to be feeling wronged?

Ou Jue paused thoughtfully for a moment before speaking seriously, "Shame is optional."

"..."

"It depends on the situation."

"..."

"When it comes to you, I can be a little more shameless." Besides, what use was shame? Would it help him win her heart?

"..."

"But as for others, hmph." Anyone who dared say he lacked shame—well, he’d deal with them accordingly.

"..." Suddenly, Xiyan felt utterly drained.

With this unprecedented attitude of Ou Jue’s, she didn’t even have the energy to argue with him anymore.

Seriously—what on earth was he hiding?

Xiyan closed her eyes. "Go away, I’m going to sleep."

"Let’s sleep together."

"Get lost!"

...

When she woke up, it was already the next day.

As Xiyan opened her eyes, the sunlight was bright and warm.

She tilted her neck slightly and immediately noticed the young man keeping watch beside her.

Xiyan had been kept in the hospital overnight under observation, sleeping in a hospital bed.

And Ou Jue—he was actually sitting there, leaning on a chair with his whole body slumped over the edge of her bed, sound asleep.

Did he stay by my side all night?

Biting her lower lip, Xiyan’s fingers unconsciously traced the sharp angles of Ou Jue’s face.

She had to admit—he truly was stunning.

A kind of flawless beauty from every angle.

Suddenly, her small hand was caught.

Startled, she tried to pull it back as quickly as possible.
