Chapter 833 - I Feel Distressed (1/2)
After Ren Xinghe finished speaking her last sentence, she leaned in Ku Jie’s arms and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, her mind was clearer, but her throat was still hoarse, and the man who had taken care of her all night was nestled on the sofa beside her, sleeping very uncomfortably.
Perhaps it was because of her gaze, Ku Jie suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her: “You are already awake?”
Ren Xinghe stood up, and she was still a little ill as she said: “Last night…Did I talk nonsense again?”
Ku Jie also stood up and looked at her: “What kind of words are nonsense?”
“For example, I’m very tired…can’t hold on…and so on.” Ren Xinghe explained, “When I am unconscious, I tend to say these words.”
When Ku Jie heard these words, he chuckled lightly, and squatted down beside her as he said: “In front of me, I will allow you to be weak.”
“Then you cannot take me seriously. No matter whether I say I cannot keep going, or if I say that I want to give up, don’t take it seriously.”
Ku Jie tapped the tip of her nose and nodded: “I will not take you seriously when that happens then.”
Last night, for Ren Xinghe, it was a massive transformation.
She had completely withdrawn from her mother’s shadow.
So, for Ren Xinghe, this was not a bad thing.
“Do you want to continue to sleep or get up for breakfast?”
Ren Xinghe came over last night, so she hadn’t had time to take a good look at Ku Jie’s private space. Furthermore, after falling asleep all night, she felt sore and weak.
“I choose to wake up…”
“There are new toiletries in the bathroom. Although it is brand new, it might be a bit masculine, so bear with me.”
Ku Jie helped her get up, then watched her go into the bathroom, before he went downstairs and cooked a pot of porridge.
After Ren Xinghe closed the bathroom door, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was sweating from the fever and she looked haggard and messy now. Her clothes were sticky and uncomfortable, and she thought that she would go home to change out of it later.
Then, Ren Xinghe began to look around the man’s bathroom. There were traces of a man everywhere. However, it was neat and clean. It looked even like some hotel’s bathroom as it was not often used at first glance.
He must not be home much…
Ren Xinghe guessed right, because there was almost no life in this family.
There were many things, but he did not even had time to tear the labels off.
After Ren Xinghe freshened up quickly, she went downstairs and saw the busy figure in the open kitchen. She sat down in front of the bar and said, “Don’t you come home often?”
Ku Jie was pouring a glass of milk, and when he heard the question, he nodded and said: “X Society has a lounge and I have other places to stay.”
“Can you…tell me about your relatives?”
Ku Jie placed the glass of hot milk in front of Ren Xinghe, and then sat down opposite her: “I don’t know where to start. So, you can ask me questions and I will answer all of your questions then.”
