Chapter 67: A Tightened Heart

  What I saw was actually the deep fatigue in Xiong Xiaotuo's eyes.

  This is in stark contrast to what I had imagined, where he would regain his freedom and live a happy and joyful life. Why did Xiong Xiaotu become like this? I feel that his originally handsome face has lost a lot of weight, is this really the Xiong Xiaotu I know?

  "Don't leave me again! Rongrong." Xiong Xiaotu didn't answer my question about whether I had slept well, but instead directly hugged me, as if afraid that he would disappear at any moment.

  Fortunately, it's already daylight now; otherwise, being hugged by a handsome guy in the middle of the night would be quite an embarrassing thing.

  But then I thought of another embarrassing thing, just like that, hugging him in bed, it seemed too much...

  "Xiao Tuo, let go quickly, I won't leave!" I guaranteed with effort, because I could feel Xiao Tuo's fearful heart of losing me. Maybe he was worried because I suddenly disappeared, so he was anxious. I knew that Xiao Tuo had no relatives all along, but hadn't Jin Hongbao found that letter?

  "What did I do wrong, why are you abandoning me, Rongrong?" Xiong Xiaotu didn't let go as ordered, instead he hugged tighter, seemingly not hearing my words, with a murmuring tone.

  I really feel like my body is in a haze of heat, and his touch, although not unfamiliar, is still so awkwardly tense. And we're lying on a soft, comfortable bed, it seems that as long as he has the desire, we can put on a live spring palace performance.

  But I know that the current me can't stimulate him anymore. Nor do I know what bear little Tuo encountered when I wasn't around. He's already very powerful, could it be that something has happened recently?

  "Has Jin Hongbao bullied you?" I suddenly remembered this matter, although previously Jin Hongbao and Xiong Xiaotu had always been very good friends, so I would feel at ease leaving. Moreover, after Min Xi and I left, Xiong Xiaotu could more conveniently pursue Tie Huang's Gu Yanxiao.

  Could it be that my inference was wrong after all? What happened to Xiong Xiaotu? How could he become so frightened, I don't want to see his hurt expression. Clearly, I thought that as long as I let him regain his freedom, he would be able to pursue whatever he wanted. But I forgot... if Jin Hongbao were to suddenly become unreliable, then Xiong Xiaotu would also definitely live a very lonely life.

  "Hong Bao is doing very well." Xiong Xiaotu raised his head and looked at me, asking anxiously: "Tell me, what's wrong with me? Don't leave like before without saying a word, okay?"

  I was so embarrassed by what Xiong Xiaotu said that my face turned red with shame. Yes, I left without saying goodbye. Actually, I had been struggling myself because I always had a special expectation for Xiong Xiaotu that was different from others, and this great love forced me to be cruel.

  When Xiong Xiaotu appeared in front of me again, I felt that all the worries and concerns I had before disappeared. Because seeing him made my heart feel solid, just like seeing a family member return home, with a kind of unspoken joy.

  Goodbye was not as difficult as I had imagined, but I felt something unusual.

  "Li Rong, is it just the two of us here?" Mingming Xiong Xiaotu deliberately lowered his voice, but I only just discovered something, and unexpectedly let Xiong Xiaotu discover it too. Could he have some other idea again?

  "It's not just us." I wanted to make things clear before Xiong Xiaotu figured out the situation.

  "So, you have to get up right away!" I thought that Xiong Xiaotuo had already walked out of his sorrow, so he should be able to let go of himself too...

  "You're cheating." Xiong Xiaotu said, and then he flipped over, becoming the one on top, pressing me down below.

  "Hey, Xiao Tu, you can't do this..." I feel like all my cells are tense. Could it be that after being with Jin Hongbao, he's learned bad things from her? He probably even knows how to do...that thing now?! Oh no, my innocent and lovely friend Xiao Tu has also become...

  Xiong Xiaotu looked around again and then lowered his head to say to me, who was getting anxious: "I've taken a look, I still don't see anyone else. So, you're the one who's lying!"

  "Right, right, right!" I immediately echoed, it turned out that Xiong Xiaotuo didn't feel anything, which was good. He just wanted to see if anyone was there, so he suddenly made this move. Although the reason was a bit unreliable, as long as he remained innocent, that's all that mattered.

  "Lingrong, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I notice your complexion has improved significantly." Xiong Xiaotu's gaze suddenly locked onto his own face, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

  My complexion is good? This is certain, I eat well and sleep well here, how can my complexion not be good?

  "Hey, can you please get up and talk!" I'm really afraid that if I keep suppressing myself like this, my mental state won't be able to take it. Clearly, I also want to be a pure and innocent woman, but why do some R-rated scenes flash through my mind? Oh no, how could I think like this? Xiong Xiaotuo is my most adorable partner, I absolutely cannot think like this!

  "If I get up, you'll run away, what will I do?" Xiong Xiaotu asked uncertainly, then his gaze shifted down, and he was actually looking at his own chest.

  "Rong Rong, shall we get married?"

  Bang!

  As soon as I hear the word "hookup", I want to scold Xiong Xiaotuo for being shameless. Is it true that all men are like this, only caring about physical pleasure and forgetting the importance of spiritual connection?

  If he thinks that just because I have a little feeling for him, he can take liberties with me, then he is sadly mistaken!

  Xiong Xiaotu covered his left cheek, which I had slapped with a red palm print, and fell silent.

  Uh... seeing Xiong Xiaotu like this, I really can't understand him. Logically speaking, he should fight back or retort, but with him being like this, how am I supposed to understand his emotions?!

  As a result, Xiong Xiaotu suddenly appeared beside my ear, was he going to kiss me?

  But I suddenly froze, holding my breath, waiting for his next move.

  "Lingrong, I won't give up. In these days of leaving, I've come to realize one thing... that is, I really can't be without you!" As I listened to Xiong Xiaotuo's words, I felt my face moistening unknowingly, and it turned out that I had cried..."

  It turns out that parting is so unbearable, but after experiencing it, it will make people feel inexplicably heartbroken. Perhaps, my heart belongs to Xiong Xiaotuo.

  But this is a different world, and Xiong Xiaotu is also a person from a different world. If I have a relationship with him, will it shake my determination to leave this place?

  I don't dare gamble, but I think now the only thing I can do is to hold him tightly in my arms, just like he held my heart tightly...
