“I’ll watch you sleep,” said Xie Yunzhou, who was guarding Shi Xi.
Shi Xi was about to fall asleep, but she opened her eyes again. “I’m really fine now.”
Don’t stare at me, hey!
Xie Yunzhou did not answer, but he held Shi Xi’s hand tightly.
Shi Xi decided not to sleep. “Let’s exchange secrets, shall we?” she asked.
“Exchange secrets?” Xie Yunzhou was puzzled.
“I’ll tell you my secret, and you tell me yours.”
“Alright,” Xie Yunzhou nodded after thinking for a moment.
“I can feel other people’s gazes on me,” Shi Xi said seriously. “I won’t be able to sleep if I’m constantly being stared at.”
Xie Yunzhou was not very satisfied. He pursed his lips and thought about how to refute.
“Because when 1 went to study when I was young, someone would always peek at me from the window,” Shi Xi continued.
“Peek at you? When?” Xie Yunzhou held the girl’s hand tightly.
“About eight or nine years old?” Shi Xi recalled for a moment and said, “But later on, I poked his eyes blind. This matter didn’t leave too much of a shadow on me, but it darkened half of his life. So, it’s over.”
“If it’s really over, why can’t you sleep?” Xie Yunzhou asked in a muffled voice.
“I can sleep most of the time,” Shi Xi said frankly. “If you know that you’re being watched, it’ll be a little difficult to fall asleep.”
When she was busy with work, she could fall asleep in the car.
“So you couldn’t sleep during the few days we were together?” asked Xie Yunzhou.
“It’s alright. Most of the time, I only sleep after you’re asleep.” Shi Xi thought for a moment and said, “I know you won’t hurt me. That’s probably one of the reasons why I can sleep.”
Shi Xi had never mentioned this matter before.
In her strong heart, there was no longer any fear of being peeked at. She only felt a faint discomfort.
“I won’t look at you anymore. I’ll close my eyes and accompany you,” said Xie Yunzhou.
Shi Xi: ?!
“You haven’t told me your secret yet!” Shi Xi grabbed Xie Yunzhou’s collar. “Don’t even think about going back on your word!”
Xie Yunzhou looked at the girl’s delicate wrist and lowered his head to kiss it. “I don’t have any secrets.”
Shi Xi’s face was filled with disbelief.
If he didn’t have any secrets, why would he have to endure such great mental pressure?
Tormenting himself into such a dead state?
Xie Yunzhou’s long eyelashes drooped slightly. “It’s someone else’s business. There’s no point in talking about it.”
“Is it about your parents?” Shi Xi had a vague guess.
“Yes.” Xie Yunzhou was silent for a moment. “My father doesn’t like me. He always felt that my mother left him because of me.”
“Then why did Auntie leave?” Shi Xi asked softly.
Xie Yunzhou laughed coldly. “He didn’t know how to cherish himself and messed around outside. That’s why my mother divorced him.”
Shi Xi did not expect this couple to be divorced.
The outside world was saying that Madam Xie was dead or crazy.
It could only be said that rumors were terrifying.
“Didn’t you follow Auntie?” Shi Xi asked curiously.
If it was a divorce…
Xie Yunzhou exhaled and said slowly, “At that time, Second Xie was not around yet. Grandfather tried his best to keep me and nurture me as his successor.”
Shi Xi understood that Xie Yunzhou should have been young at that time.
At that time, if Madam Xie wanted to take Xie Yunzhou away from Old Master Xie, it would be no different from an ant trying to shake a tree.
Xie Yunzhou recalled the past, and there was a hint of violence in his eyes. He suppressed it slightly. “After the divorce, my father would ask me to call my mother every time he got drunk. He begged her to come back. If she didn’t call, he would beat me..”
