Mu Ning Jing's hands tightened in front of her. She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Do you want to go up and sit for a while?"
"You're not afraid of me anymore?" Shen Tingxi smiled faintly as he looked at Mu Ning Jing.
Ever since he had almost raped her, she had never let him go upstairs again. Every time he sent her back, he would watch her go upstairs and then leave.
Mu Ning Jing didn't dare to look at Shen Tingxi. She lowered her head and looked very nervous, but she still said, "I'm not afraid."
Shen Tingxi looked at Mu Ning Jing for a moment. In fact, he knew that Mu Ning Jing wasn't really not afraid, but he was in a bad mood and wanted to spend more time with her. Even if she didn't say anything and just quietly accompanied him like in the car just now, he would still feel at ease.
So he and Mu Ning Jing went upstairs.
Mu Ning Jing came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea. She didn't see Shen Tingxi on the sofa. She looked up and saw him standing on the balcony with his back facing her. He was probably smoking. White smoke drifted out from the side of his face.
The man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His smoky gray shirt was tucked into his black trousers without a single wrinkle. As he raised his hand to smoke, his shirt was pulled slightly, outlining his smooth and long figure.
Even if she was just looking at his back, Mu Ning Jing's face would blush and her heart would race.
She took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing. Mu Ning Jing took the tea to the balcony. "Have a cup of tea first. I'll go and cook."
The two of them came back without eating anything at Shen Jiuyan's place.
Shen Tingxi took the tea from Mu Ning Jing. He wanted to explain what happened at the villa. He knew that with Mu Ning Jing's character, she wouldn't ask if he didn't say anything. But after thinking about it, he felt that it wasn't something decent. In the end, he didn't say anything and only asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No need." Mu Ning Jing was afraid that Shen Tingxi would be bored. She turned around and pointed at the TV in the living room. "You can watch TV."
Shen Tingxi raised his hand that was holding the cigarette. "I'll go in after I finish smoking."
"Okay." Mu Ning Jing turned around and went to the kitchen.
After Shen Tingxi finished smoking, he leaned against the kitchen door with a teacup in his hand and watched Mu Ningjing cook. Her demure and otherworldly appearance could calm him down.
Mu Ning Jing felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She turned to look at him. "Why aren't you watching TV?"
"You're prettier than TV." With one hand in his pocket, Shen Tingxi lazily held the teacup and looked at Mu Ning Jing lazily. He was casual and had a hint of yuppie flavor.
Mu Ning Jing immediately blushed. She turned around slightly, leaving her back to Shen Tingxi.
Shen Tingxi lowered his head and took a sip of tea. His eyes never left Mu Ning Jing. "Your back is also pretty."
The knife in Mu Ningjing's hand slipped and the edge of the blade slid past her slender fingertip. Immediately, a string of beads of blood appeared, but she only furrowed her brows and withdrew her bleeding finger. Pressing the injured part into her palm, she continued to cut vegetables.
Shen Tingxi, who was standing behind Mu Ning Jing, naturally didn't notice her small movements.
As the blood dripped from her palm onto the chopping board, Mu Ningjing's brows furrowed even more. Just as she was thinking about how she could prevent Shen Tingxi from going to the sink to wash the blood off her hand without him noticing, her phone rang behind her.
It was Shen Tingxi's phone call.
When she heard him answer the call, Mu Ning Jing thought that he probably wasn't paying attention to her at the moment. She took a vegetable pepper and went to the sink. She pretended to wash the vegetable pepper while washing the blood off her hands.
When Mu Ning Jing walked away, Shen Tingxi's gaze, which had been fixed on her, naturally fell on the countertop where she had been standing. He saw a smear of blood on the chopping board. He frowned and walked over. There weren't any fish dishes on the countertop. They were all vegetables. So the blood belonged to Mu Ning Jing.
Shen Tingxi walked over to Mu Ning Jing and pulled her hand, which was washing vegetables under the tap. "Where are you hurt?"
Mu Ning Jing pulled her hand away. "I'm fine."
Shen Tingxi didn't let go of her hand. Soon, he saw blood coming out of Mu Ning Jing's index finger. He frowned and said in a distressed and reproachful tone, "You're bleeding. How can you be fine?"
"Xi 'er, who's bleeding?" Ju Qiulan's worried voice came from the other end of the line.
"Ning Ning's hand is injured. Don't argue with him. You won't get any benefits. I'll go over to your place later."
"Xi 'er …"
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Tingxi hung up the phone. He casually placed the phone on the countertop and pulled Mu Ning Jing out of the kitchen.
Shen Tingxi's strides were a little big. Mu Ning Jing had to jog to keep up. She tried to pull her hand away but couldn't. She said softly, "It's just a small injury. I'm really fine."
Shen Tingxi ignored Mu Ning Jing and pulled her into the bedroom. He sat her down on the bed and said firmly, "Sit down and don't move." Then he turned around and took the first-aid kit. He knelt down on one knee in front of her and treated her wound.
Mu Ning Jing's gaze fell on Shen Tingxi's kneeling knee. She didn't look away until her eyes were hot. She watched him treat her wound attentively and saw the obvious heartache between his eyebrows. All of this made Mu Ning Jing's eyes misty.
After Shen Tingxi finished treating her wound, he looked up at Mu Ning Jing and realized that she was crying. She was too quiet. Not only did she feel pain, but she also cried without making a sound. He didn't even notice.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Shen Tingxi blew on Mu Ning Jing's injured finger.
Mu Ning Jing shook her head. "It doesn't hurt."
"How can it not hurt? If it doesn't hurt, why would you cry? "Shen Tingxi obviously didn't believe her.
Mu Ning Jing shook her head. Her heart was hot. No one had ever cared about her as much as Shen Tingxi. Her tears were like a flood that rushed out of the sluice gate and flowed even more fiercely.
Shen Tingxi used to hate women crying the most because those women cried in order to pretend to be weak and get benefits from him. When he threw a card over, they would immediately stop crying and smile.
But he knew that Mu Ning Jing was different. She was the kind of girl who didn't like to cause trouble for others. No matter what, she would bear everything by herself.
Even if he and she were the closest boyfriend and girlfriend, she wasn't used to relying on him. She didn't even tell him that she was injured.
So every time Shen Tingxi saw Mu Ning Jing crying, he would panic and be at a loss. He pulled her up. "I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up. It hurts so much. Did you hurt your bones?"
Mu Ning Jing hugged Shen Tingxi from behind. Her head shook gently on his back. Her voice was soft and tinged with sobs. "It doesn't hurt."
Shen Tingxi was ecstatic. It had been almost a month since that incident. This was the first time Mu Ning Jing took the initiative to get close to him. But now he was more worried about the injury on her hand. Although it didn't look serious, her skin was so tender and she cried so much. It would be troublesome if she hurt her bones.
Although it was very comfortable to be hugged by her, Shen Tingxi still reluctantly pulled her hand away. He turned around and held her shoulders. "Ningning, let's go to the hospital. Be good."
Mu Ning Jing shook her head and leaned into Shen Tingxi's arms. "My hand is fine … You're too good to me … I'm crying."
Shen Tingxi's heart ached. How hard must she have been in the past to cry like this because of him?
Why couldn't he have met her earlier?
That way, she would have suffered less.
