Chapter 430 - She Kind Of Hates It (1/2)

”Coming.” Xia Ruoxin stood up and rushed to the kitchen without answering A Sunny Day Will Come. She carried another bowl of porridge to Gao Yi.

”You're gonna eat more?” She asked Gao Yi dubiously.

”You've already eaten a portion. Eating so much at night isn't good for your health. You're a doctor so you should understand that better than me?”

”It's fine.” Gao Yi ruffled Xia Ruoxin's hair. ”I'm not sleeping straight after eating. I still have things to do. Two hours would have passed when I'm ready for sleep. Even if I eat more now, the two hours is enough for me to digest the food.”

There was nothing more Xia Ruoxin could say. She sat opposite him as he ate while she chatted with him. Gao Yi asked her about her new painting studio, and Xia Ruoxin's eyes lit up as she talked excitedly with endless words.

”I've never seen you so talkative before.” Gao Yi put down his chopsticks, his right palm flat on the table as he chuckled gently. There was a hint of a smile in his clear eyes. Even though he still exuded a lethargic air, his eyes rippled with gentle waves. It was beautiful.

”Are you saying I talk too much?” Xia Ruoxin tried to recall whether she had become more talkative recently. Perhaps she was becoming naggier because she was aging.

”No.” Gao Yi surrendered. Seems like all women have the bad habit of letting their imagination run wild, and Xia Ruoxin was no exception.

”I'm just regretting.” Gao Yi's tone dropped suddenly.

”What's wrong?” Xia Ruoxin's heart clenched. Did he regret meeting her? Had she done something and caused him trouble? If that's the case, what could she do to help and solve the problem?

”Don't take it the wrong way.” Gao Yi chortled. His bright laugh was gentle. He wasn't like Chu Lui. Chu Lui was dark and hard to understand, but he was warm and sunny. Of course, with light came shadows. No one could be sunshine forever without any dark side. Gao Yi had his troubles, too, but he always treated Xia Ruoxin as warm as the sun.

Gao Yi sighed suddenly as if he was plagued with endless troubles. He placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin's shoulder. She stiffened and then slowly relaxed. She told herself that she would get used to it. Eventually, she would be able to accept another man and form a family with him, and Gao Yi was undoubtedly the best candidate. Shen Wei had told her that he was a good man—that she should seize her chance, but she was scared that she wasn't good enough for him.

Gao Yi pulled Xia Ruoxin towards him and hooked a strand of her hair. There was a small smile on his face. ”I regret making you independent and helping you gain back confidence. I wish you would rely more on me, actually. Then, I can say more confidently that I have a beautiful woman by my side. Not just one, but two—you and Rainy. No matter what, I'm on the winning end.”

”Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin sniffled. From the corner of her eye, she could see the dim glow of the streetlamps. In the distance, the shadows around the light softened gradually.

Meanwhile, she forgot about the computer that was still on. The screen had long turned black, but Penguin was still running. On the other end of the chat, a man waited for her reply for the whole night.

Was she unable to answer, was she unwilling to do so, or had she forgotten?

At last, he turned off the computer. The sky outside was already bright.
