Chapter 5: The So-Called Child Bride (5)
Ling Chuxia thought for a moment and then spoke again in a small voice, "Or... would you like to take a shower first? I can fill the bathtub for you."
This sentence, like the ones before it, seemed like a small stone sinking deeply into the sea, with no response or echo.
Ling Chuxia couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged. She was inherently a tongue-tied person, unlike her elder sister, who was good at talking and turning situations around.
She thought if her elder sister were here, she would have easily handled this situation, right?
Of course... if her elder sister were here... the young master's attitude wouldn't be like this.
Shi Che didn't say anything, and Ling Chuxia didn't know what to say either. If Shi Che wasn't going to sleep, she couldn't sleep either, so she just stood there, and before long, her gaze started to drift.
She didn't know when the rain outside had stopped, and the thunder and lightning had ceased as well. It became tranquil outside, making the atmosphere indoors all the more subtly intriguing.
After standing for an unknown amount of time, Ling Chuxia felt her feet becoming a bit sore. Shi Che still hadn't moved, and she wondered if Shi Che had fallen asleep again...
As she was thinking this, her eyes slowly glanced toward him.
Ling Chuxia didn't expect that Shi Che would also be looking at her. When their eyes met, the muddiness in Ling Chuxia's mind instantly cleared, and her spine straightened subconsciously.
