CHAPTER 204 (1/2)
Collapsing 12 Boundaries 4
The teenager’s repressed voice made Xie Xi’s heart hurt and he couldn’t help bending down to lick the back of Jiang Xie’s hand.
The rain poured down heavily and dulled a person’s senses yet Jiang Xie clearly felt the gentleness of the barbed soft tongue.
The kitten was comforting him in its own way. Jiang Xie held the cat tightly and felt unprecedented warmth in the damp and heavy rain.
They went home and this time, Cat Xie pricked his ears and stared around with round eyes, ready to recognize the road.
If he lost this boy again, he would be able to run back by himself! Unfortunately, the rain was fierce and Jiang Xie didn’t have an umbrella. He was afraid the kitten would be cold and pressed the cat deeply into his arms.
Xie Xi tried to move out but Jiang Xie pressed him back, telling him, “We’ll be home soon.”
Xie Xi scolded him. “If you hadn’t messed around, would we have run so far?”
It was a pity that the kitten’s voice was drowned out in the heavy rain. He said this but Xie Xi felt distressed. What had Jiang Xie experienced that he wouldn’t even dare take in a kitten?
He said he didn’t like cats. If he didn’t like cats, would he wash Xie Xi so carefully as well as prepare food for him?
This was clearly a gentle and careful teenager yet he showed indifference and alienation. What had he gone through?
Xie Xi wasn’t clear about the specific situation but he could guess based on the sixth prince…
Jiang Xie returned to the community at the fastest speed. He just entered the door when he saw the elevator parked on the first floor.
He never took the elevator but he wanted to enter the house quickly with the kitten. Thus, he walked into the elevator.
Xie Xi muttered, “Running all that way is tiring…” He thought Jiang Xie was tired and didn’t want to climb four flights of stairs.
As it happened, the elevator stopped on the second floor. Xie Xi immediately felt the tenseness of the person holding him.
What happened? He looked up at Jiang Xie and found that the teenager’s lips had thinned and he was suppressing his tension after calmness.
The elevator door opened and a woman in her 30s with a small child was standing there. The woman was picking up the child and didn’t see the person in the elevator.
The child was happy. “Mummy, the kitten in that brother’s arms is so cute!”
Xie Xi felt himself being hugged tightly and blinked. ‘Jiang Xie, can you not give me away to another person? Just kidding, this is your community. How can I not find your door? If you send me away, I will run back!’
At this time, the woman looked up and her face changed slightly when she saw Jiang Xie. The child had already entered the elevator but she pulled the child out. Jiang Xie didn’t say anything and stood there in a wet manner.
The woman smiled and said, “You… go ahead. We are going downstairs and didn’t realize the elevator had stopped.”
“Yes.” Then Jiang Xie pressed the button to close the elevator.
The elevator was closing but there was still a gap. Cat Xie’s ears were good and he heard the woman on the second floor speaking to the child. “Stay away from him and don’t look at him. How many people has he killed with those eyes!”
The child didn’t understand and just cried because she couldn’t see the kitten. The woman continued, “I really want to move. How can I live downstairs from such a cursed person?”
Xie Xi glanced up and saw Jiang Xie’ eyelashes trembling. The teenager lowered his eyes in an attempt to cover his eyes.
After becoming used to the difference, Xie Xi forgot that such eyes were extremely rare and weird in ordinary society.
In fact, the colours of Jiang Xie’s eyes weren’t that bright. Under normal circumstances, the background colour was just a dark red and dark blue. It wasn’t exaggerated to the extent of attracting people’s attention.
Unless the person became emotional and then it would be obvious…
Xie Xi understood why Jiang Xie had such a cold personality. It was because his mood would fluctuate less and the colour of his eyes would become more normal.
Xie Xi remembered Jiang Xie’s words in the rain and combined with what the woman said, he felt awkward.
In Lost Atlantis, the sixth prince’s mother died because of him and all those who approached him suffered misfortune.
Was Jiang Xie here the same? All types of accidents happened and due to these different eyes, people placed blame on Jiang Xie that didn’t belong to him.
The elevator reached the fourth floor and Jiang Xie entered the house with the kitten. He carefully prepared warm water and help Xie Xi wash his dirty fur before drying it carefully.
He dried Xie Xi but his clothes were still wet and his hair was drenched.
Xie Xi cried out, “Go take a shower and change clothes!”
Unfortunately, only meows emerged from his mouth.
Jiang Xie held down the moving cat. “If I don’t dry you then you will catch a cold.”
“You are the one who will cat a cold!”
Perhaps his thoughts were too strong, making Jiang Xie sigh. “Are you worried about me?”
“Stop talking nonsense and change clothes.”
Jiang Xie laughed and talked to himself. “I am crazy.” He felt that the kitten could understand him and was caring about him.
How come… This was just a kitten and it was unknown how long the little guy could stay with him.
He had been puffed up and angry for a while and now Cat Xie was too tired.
Fortunately, Jiang Xie still had some care regarding his body. After blowdrying the cat, he went to take a bath and change his clothes in order to not catch a cold.
