CHAPTER 292
And by then, it was already too late for Liu Xueyi to retract those words.
Although voicing that out had only been a joke, it did not change the fact that Andromeda felt her heart struck by this.
Simply put. She recalled the times she had been with the other guys and he got jealous.
Left to her, she saw it as him reminding her of those times, just like how she had kissed Xie Tian thinking it was him.
Her heart clenched from hearing him say that.
"Andy."
"Save it," Andromeda cut in swiftly and lowered her head. By the time she lifted it up, no longer did the sadness that washed over her remain.
"Andromeda, I did not mean that."
"No. You have said enough and you have said that which is truly in your heart. People say, at the moment of joking, the truth is being said."
She scoffed at her own words and shook her head. "I was stupid."
To Liu Xueyi's surprise, she turned to the side, let her gaze linger on the well-arranged mess he made of her box and her chest dropped as she heaved out a sigh.
Taking matters into her hands, she leaned down and began to pack her box quickly. All the while she left Liu Xueyi speechless as she worked.
He could not get the fact that she had taken it seriously when he was just kidding. Whether or not she brought the longing for him, he wanted it.
Besides, ever since his departure, he had been trying to work on his jealousy so as not to repeat what had happened that day.
However, in the end, all it seemed like he did was worsen the situation.
Andromeda lifted her back with her small box in her hand, turned to her right hand and stormed off while leaving much to the imagination of Liu Xueyi as she ignored the way she was clothed.
Swallowing hard, Liu Xueyi shifted his gaze from her backside and smooth legs and brought it to the lingerie in his hand.
In the end, she left it with him but he got an even angrier Andy.
For the next few minutes, she spent in the bathroom, Liu Xueyi remained where she had left him while his thoughts roamed about, trying to find a solution on how to calm her down.
By the time the door to the bathroom opened up, it announced Andromeda in a summer blue flowery top and a pair of white shorts.
Her hair was tied up in a bun, leaving the length to dance behind her as she walked out, pulling the bigger luggage with her and holding the little one in her right hand.
The second he laid his eyes on her, Li Xueyi peeled his hand from his hair and stood straight.
He had gotten himself deep in thinking and had his hair scattered in the process, but seeing her all dressed up and cute, he could not help admiring her.
Ahem!
"Andy."
"No need. I would go book another hotel close by. You can have your room all to yourself. Thanks for letting me use it to change and freshen up."
Just hearing those words from her, Liu Xueyi felt his heart begin to race wildly in his chest as he could fathom making her go through such stress.
Not wanting to lose her for any reason, he closed the gap between them and held her by the arm.
"Andy look at me. I am not asking you to leave. This room is for you and me"
"Xueyi I do not want…"
"Shhh… Just, I am so sorry. I was only joking," he pleaded, ignoring his excuse and all.
"No need."
"Fine. Okay, you can be mad at me, but please do not leave. I do want you to leave. Just stay. You can have the bed and I would use the ouch."
For a moment there, she let his words go to her head and considered the fact that things would become stressful for her if she left.
"I won't disturb you or do anything you do not want to do. All I ask is for you to be here by my side, okay?"
She let out a small breath, allowing her lashes to flutter close briefly.
By the time she reopened them once more, Andromeda was shocked at how quickly he had gone behind her, taken the handle of the box from her hand and struggled with the other.
"Let me help you keep your things."
Seeing how persistent he was, Andromeda let go of her luggage and watched him put the boxes away for her.
'Since you so much want them, have them. But I am not going to stay with you. Hmph!' She concluded in her mind.
Without paying what he did any heed, Andromeda took a casual walk and left the room, not saying a word to him.
Once Liu Xueyi had finished placing her boxes in the wardrobe, he dusts his hand and took a step back to admire his work, while darting his gaze from side to side where he was.
A proud smile appeared on his face soon enough. He was satisfied, to say the least, with how successful he was in getting her to stay with him in the same room.
Next was to win back her heart and appease her anger. Closing the wardrobe, Liu Xueyi smiled proudly and turned to his left-hand side.
"As you can see, Andy, I have…" His words went stuck in his throat as his eyes landed on the spot, he had left her in just a few minutes ago.
"Andy? Andromeda?"
Liu Xueyi spent the next few minutes calling out to her but all he got, in the end, was complete silence, save for the sound of his voice.
After searching the entire room and not finding her, his brain finally accepted the fact that she may have left without him.
A pained smile formed around the corners of his lips almost immediately, leaving him speechless.
'Sigh, she really knows how to pay back. Tsk, but I guess I should let her anger cool off first and then, we shall try again. Meanwhile, I can use this time to go through my scripts once more.'
