Mu Ning Jing was still immersed in the panic of almost losing Shen Tingxi and couldn't recover from it for a long time.
Shen Tingxi hugged Mu Ning Jing tightly and repeatedly told her that he wouldn't leave. It wasn't until the girl's cries in his arms gradually subsided that he carried her to the side of the car and wanted to put her in the front passenger seat. She hugged his neck tightly and refused to let go, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she let go.
For the first time, Shen Tingxi felt that he was so important in Mu Ning Jing's heart. His thin lips curved slightly and his eyes were smiling. He didn't care about the car and directly carried Mu Ning Jing to the villa.
After entering the villa, Shen Tingxi carried Mu Ning Jing into her room and placed her on the bed. He wanted to get up, but Mu Ning Jing had no intention of letting go of her hands.
Shen Tingxi coaxed her softly. "I won't leave. I'll get a basin of water for you to wipe your feet. I'll be back soon."
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shen Tingxi with watery eyes. There were still sparkling tears on her curly eyelashes and she looked particularly pitiful. She looked at him for a few seconds before slowly letting go of him.
Shen Tingxi fetched a basin of water and held Mu Ning Jing's slender and fair ankle, wiping her feet bit by bit.
The man's palm was a little hot.
Mu Ning Jing blushed and gently retracted her feet. Shen Tingxi looked up at her and she hurriedly stopped moving. She looked at Shen Tingxi with her watery eyes and looked carefully, as if she was afraid that he would leave if she moved again.
Although Shen Tingxi's heart ached for Mu Ning Jing, he was more happy because he felt that she valued him and had feelings for him. All along, Mu Ning Jing had been quiet and didn't have much emotion towards him.
It was as if she was the calm surface of the lake, and he was the boiling water, churning by himself.
Shen Tingxi wiped Mu Ning Jing's feet and put the towel and basin back into the bathroom. When he came out, he didn't see Mu Ning Jing on the bed. He immediately panicked and ran out. "Ningning …"
"I'm here," Mu Ning Jing said to Shen Tingxi, who had already run to the door.
Shen Tingxi turned around and saw Mu Ning Jing standing at the door of the walk-in closet. He turned around and walked quickly to her, holding her in his arms. His heart was still thumping in his chest because of the shock just now.
The moment he didn't see her, Shen Tingxi's mind flashed with the worst idea. Mu Ning Jing was a little abnormal tonight. He mentioned breaking up with her again. Would she run away from home or take things too hard?
She was too sensitive, and she had been hospitalized in the psychiatric ward before. As a result, Shen Tingxi's mind was also tense. He felt that she hadn't fully recovered yet, and anything could happen to her.
Shen Tingxi hugged her too tightly. Mu Ning Jing was a little breathless. She gently pushed Shen Tingxi's chest. "I … I can't breathe."
Shen Tingxi hurriedly let go of Mu Ning Jing. He held her shoulders and looked at her with a worried expression. "I'm sorry. Are you okay?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head and panted slightly. She handed a square box to Shen Tingxi.
Shen Tingxi only then realized that Mu Ning Jing was holding something in her hand. He looked at her in confusion. "What is it?"
Mu Ning Jing replied softly, "For you."
Shen Tingxi took it, his gaze still fixed on Mu Ning Jing's face.
Mu Ning Jing gestured with her eyes for Shen Tingxi to open it and take a look.
Shen Tingxi then lowered his head and opened the beautifully wrapped box in his hand. A man's watch appeared before his eyes. He looked at Mu Ning Jing with some surprise. "You bought this for me?"
Mu Ning Jing nodded. When her gaze fell on Shen Tingxi's high-quality clothes and the watch on his wrist that was obviously more expensive than the one she had bought, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
His entire body was full of low-key quality. Although this watch was very expensive to her, it should be very ordinary to Shen Tingxi.
Mu Ning Jing looked at her hand in front of her and said softly, "If you don't like it …"
"I like it. I like it very much." Shen Tingxi took off the watch on his wrist and put it back in his pocket. He took out the watch that Mu Ning Jing had bought from the box and handed it to her. "Help me put it on."
Mu Ning Jing lowered her head and did not see Shen Tingxi's action of taking out the watch. Looking at his suddenly empty wrist, she was stunned for a moment. Then the corners of her lips curled up slightly and her dimples appeared slightly. She took the watch and put it on for him seriously. "It doesn't seem to match your clothes."
Shen Tingxi raised his hand and made a gesture of looking at the watch. His deep eyes were filled with joy. He liked it no matter how he looked at it. "Why doesn't it match? I think it matches very well. You have good taste. I'll wear it every day from now on. I won't change it. "
Mu Ning Jing had noticed that Shen Tingxi wore different clothes with different watches. Now that he said that he would wear it every day from now on, Mu Ning Jing's heart suddenly felt sweet as if she had drunk honey.
Mu Ning Jing looked up and saw that Shen Tingxi was smiling. His eyes were as bright as the stars. His smile spread to every nerve on his face, causing his sharp facial features to soften. She could tell that he was really happy.
She could feel that he had her in his heart.
Thinking back to when he said that he had slept with Yu Anna, Mu Ning Jing's heart suddenly tightened, and she felt a burst of pain.
There was a mixture of sourness and sweetness, and it was indescribably uncomfortable.
When Shen Tingxi left just now, Mu Ning Jing felt as if her world had suddenly collapsed. The sunshine that she had finally found with great difficulty was swallowing her bit by bit. She had desperately chased after that ray of sunshine. At that time, she only had one thought, and that was to make him stay at all costs.
Now that he was right in front of her, she had to give it a try no matter what.
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shen Tingxi. She mustered up her courage and said, "Tingxi, let's be good. Let's not break up, okay?"
Shen Tingxi's smile instantly froze, and then it faded away bit by bit. "Ningning …"
Mu Ning Jing was afraid that Shen Tingxi would reject her, so she hurriedly interrupted him. "I don't mind this time."
Shen Tingxi knew what Mu Ning Jing meant. His eyes instantly darkened, and he stared at her for a few seconds. "You really don't mind?"
Mu Ning Jing didn't dare to look into Shen Tingxi's eyes. She was afraid that she would see a look of rejection in his eyes. She lowered her head and pursed her lips. "Yeah."
Shen Tingxi slowly clenched his fists, and the corners of his mouth curved into a self-deprecating smile. He should be happy that his Ningning said that it was okay, that she could forgive him, and that he could be with her again, but …
Why did it feel like her words were like a sharp sword stabbing into his chest?
She chased after him regardless of everything, hugged him, and couldn't bear to let go. He thought that she cared about him.
Although it hurt to leave her, there was also a trace of joy hidden within. At least, she was angry, she cried, and she was sad when he slept with another woman.
But now that she had said those words so calmly, Shen Tingxi instantly overturned all his previous thoughts. If it wasn't because she didn't love him, why wouldn't she mind that he was involved with another woman?
Shen Tingxi stared at the watch that Mu Ning Jing had just put on for him, his eyes filled with reluctance and pain. After a while, he began to unbuckle the watch and held it tightly in his palm.
