She Didn't Dare To Think About It Anymore
When she heard him say 'Okay', Xuxu stared in shock at Yan Rusheng, her eyes and mouth were wide open.
Is he really that same icily arrogant and pampered Yan Rusheng? The same mysophobic Yan Rusheng with the malicious tongue?
The little girls were familiar with the rules of the game and were already standing in line, waiting for Yan Rusheng to piggyback them while the boys retreated to the side.
"Sister Xuxu, quickly come over and line up!"
The little girls were eagerly waving at Xuxu, but she stood rooted to the ground.
Xuxu stole a glance at Yan Rusheng who was standing in front of the queue. She found it peculiar that he wasn't behaving like he usually did today.
She was still feeling baffled when she heard Yan Rusheng's voice from afar.
"Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are…"
Xuxu was astonished when she saw Yan Rusheng piggybacking Little Huanhuan and walking around the field willingly.
His melodious voice made the nursery rhyme sound exceptionally unique.
Xuxu looked at his tall and large body which made Little Huanhuan appear even more petite on his back. There was a smile on his face. Looking at this scene brought tears to her eyes.
The rules of the game were for Yan Rusheng to piggyback every girl and walk around the field while singing.
"It's Sister Xuxu's turn now!"
All the little girls had taken a ride except for Xuxu. Yan Rusheng and the children were waiting in anticipation for Xuxu's turn to arrive.
Yan Rusheng walked over to Xuxu with a sly smile on his face. "My wife, it's your turn."
He had been addressing her as 'my wife' these past few days, and it made Xuxu feel uncomfortable and awkward. "I'll skip my turn. You don't have to piggyback me."
"It's beyond your control," Yan Rusheng replied coldly. He bent down and carried her up in a skillful but domineering way.
Xuxu's body swayed for a moment, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and squeaked, "Ah… Yan Rusheng!"
Yan Rusheng rolled his eyes at her. "Why are you clinging to me and screaming so loud? What a pity that we're not in bed!"
That jerk! Xuxu looked at his fair-skinned neck, and without warning, she bent down and sank her teeth into him.
"Ouch!" Yan Rusheng let out a painful shout but still chose to let her vent her frustration.
It was good news to him if she was willing to use him as an outlet for her anger if it meant releasing some form of emotion towards him. She could hit him or scold him or even throw an ashtray or pillow at him.
At least if she did those things, it proved that she wasn't indifferent.
Xuxu bit him for quite a while before she relaxed her jaws. There were deep teeth marks on his neck; any deeper and it would bleed.
She didn't utter a word after that and merely pouted her lips, letting out a childish "Hmph!".
Yan Rusheng's tone was full of affection. "No wonder you were born in the Year of the Dog. I still have the scar from the last time you bit me."
As Xuxu recalled the time when she also bit him badly, her eyes reddened.
With a sniffle, she gave a curt reply, "Don't keep talking about our time as kids. That's all in the past."
That's all in the past? When Yan Rusheng heard the way Xuxu brushed off their past memories, his heart froze for a moment.
But he still kept a smile on his face. "We were childhood sweethearts and innocent playmates. Don't you have any thoughts about that?"
Xuxu shook her head instantly. "Not at all."
Perhaps, she would have harbored some hope and anticipation if she hadn't learned the truth of her grandmother's death; or if he hadn't yelled another woman's name while pressing her down.
But now, she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
