Without thinking, Shi Mu brought her bowl to him. Under Bai Xue’s shocked gaze, he picked up the spoon and took a bite.
Bai Xue hurriedly raised her hand to stop him. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. “I’ve eaten this before. If you’re not full, I’ll scoop you a new bowl.”
“No need. This bowl is very good and sweet.” Shi Mu gently removed her hand and finished the porridge in the bowl in a few bites. In the end, he licked the corner of his mouth reluctantly. “It’s delicious. Can I eat the food you made yourself next time?”
Bai Xue nodded in a daze and said, “Sure. If Brother Shi Mu wants to eat it, I can make it for you anytime.”
Shi Mu felt his face heat up. Perhaps it was because the porridge was too hot just now, but the hot porridge burned his heart. “1 can make it for you… if you don’t mind.”
Bai Xue blinked in shock and shook her head. “No, it’s only right for me to cook for Brother Shi Mu. The Shi family has helped me too much. 1 have nothing to repay you with. I can only do my best to repay you a little.”
She said it sincerely, but Shi Mu’s heart sank.
He forced a smile and shifted his eyes unnaturally to the porridge bowl that was still warm. “You cooked for me to repay me…”
“That’s right. Brother Shi Mu has helped me a lot and usually takes care of me, so it’s only right for me to do what I can for Brother Shi Mu.” Bai Xue smiled and said what she was thinking, but she did not receive a response from the person opposite her for a long time.
She looked over in surprise and saw Shi Mu standing up in a panic. His clenched fists were pale.
“Oh, thank you. I’m tired. I’ll go back and sleep first. You should rest early too.” Shi Mu felt that his heart was blocked again. If he stayed with Bai Xue again, he would probably have difficulty breathing.
After saying that, he did not wait for Bai Xue’s answer and walked straight up the stairs. His footsteps were so fast, as if he was escaping from some ferocious beast.
Bai Xue only felt that it was strange, but this time, she had no intention of chasing after him to find out. After cleaning up the dishes, she returned to her room to rest.
She came to the capital to study with the Shi family, but her mother insisted on staying in G City.
It was obvious that the Shi family had already been kind enough to give them a house to shelter them from the wind and rain in the past. How could her mother be willing to follow them to the capital to cause trouble for them?
Moreover, children had to leave their parents when they grew up. Since Bai Xue was with the Shi family, Mrs. Bai was not worried at all, so she stayed in G City with ease and worked part-time for others to earn some money to support herself.
Bai Xue thought that after she stabilized in the capital, she would find another part-time job. This way, she could help her mother so that she would not be too tired at home alone.
However, the situation beside Shi Man was not optimistic. She secretly decided to become stronger as soon as possible so that she would not cause trouble for Shi Man and Su Tang.
The next morning, Shi Mu waited in the car early to send Shi Man and Bai Xue to school.
Shi Man was happy that someone was driving, so she closed her eyes in the backseat.
After what happened last night, Bai Xue felt a little awkward facing Shi Mu. She thought for a long time last night, but she could not figure out why Shi Mu’s expression suddenly changed.
She hesitated and wanted to speak, but when she saw Shi Mu driving seriously, she didn’t know where to start.
She was in a dilemma the entire way. Neither of them spoke to the other for the entire morning.
After Shi Man got out of the car, she said goodbye to her brother softly. She turned around and saw that Bai Xue still had a conflicted expression. She couldn’t help but flick her forehead in amusement. “What do you want to say?”
Bai Xue was shocked by her and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her forehead. Then, she reacted and put down her hand awkwardly. “I think I said something wrong last night and offended Brother Shi Mu. Manman, can you help me ask him what’s wrong? If it’s really my problem, I’ll apologize to him.”
Shi Man looked at her strangely and raised her eyebrows. “You really don’t know what happened to him?”
“I don’t know…” Should she know?
Bai Xue was stunned and did not understand what Shi Man meant.
A chuckle suddenly came from her ear, and right on the heels of that, Shi Man slowly bent down and whispered in her ear, “Of course he’s angry because you don’t understand his feelings, little fool.”
“Feelings?” Bai Xue looked up in shock and met Shi Man’s bright eyes. She suddenly understood what she was talking about and her face flushed red. “No, what’s so good about me that he likes me?”
“Don’t be so self-deprecating. You’re not inferior to others.” Shi Man smiled and hugged her shoulder, bringing her to school.
In the car in the distance, Shi Mu watched as his sister hugged Bai Xue’s shoulder. He was too far away and did not know what his sister had said to Bai Xue, but he could see the shyness in Bai Xue’s eyes. His breathing subconsciously became heavy..
