With these words, he stood up, quickly draped a night robe around him, and headed straight for the bathroom!
Hai Xiaotang remained stupefied for a long time.
He actually restrained himself because she hadn’t finished her homework?
And she could tell, his self-restraint was excruciatingly difficult.
At the final moment, what great willpower he must have needed to hold back himself?
Hai Xiaotang was sure Dongfang Yu didn’t hold back because her homework was unfinished.
Although she didn’t quite understand why he stopped, she also wouldn’t pursue.
But… her feelings were a little complicated…
However, Hai Xiaotang didn’t overthink it and got up to go to the study.
Dongfang Yu stayed in the bathroom for a long time before coming out, his bedroom empty and his heart felt just as bare.
He knew, as a man, he shouldn’t have stopped at the last moment.
However, Hai Xiaotang was not willing…
Despite her seemingly indifferent demeanor, he could sense her deepest sorrow.
That sadness, piercing his heart, making it impossible for him to continue relentlessly.
He had already hurt her deeply, he didn’t want to add any more pain.
So, he held back…
He was willing to bear it for the sake of easing her pain, until the day she willingly accepts him.
But he doubted, will that day ever come?
Regardless, he would continue to wait, this was the biggest expression of love he could offer her.
Dongfang Yu finished smoking a cigarette before heading to Hai Xiaotang’s study.
He pushed open the study door and saw her sitting at the desk, head down and deep into her homework.
The earlier incident didn’t seem to affect her mood at all.
Dongfang Yu felt both relief and sighed. How much he wished that she would mind, get angry, at least it would prove she cared about him in her heart.
Her being so calm, able to focus on her homework, was truly demoralizing.
However, her being able to stay rational and cool-headed brought him some relief, because such a person, would not be easily knocked down and would stay positive…
All these thoughts of Dongfang Yu’s only flashed by, he walked to Hai Xiaotang, leaned over and rested his arms on either side of her, and asked in his rich and magnetic voice, “how much is left unfinished?”
Hai Xiaotang paused slightly, quickly regained her composure, “just this much.”
“Which parts don’t you understand?”
Hai Xiaotang didn’t refuse Dongfang Yu’s kindness and asked him about all the parts she didn’t understand.
Dongfang Yu explained everything in detail…
Hand in hand under the warm light, one person explaining earnestly, the other listening attentively, both of them focused.
But, from outside the window, it showed their shadows close together, very intimate.
He Meilian in the car, watched their shadows for a while, eventually gave up the idea of going in.
“Let’s go back.” She withdraws her gaze and rolled up the car window.
“Yes, madam!” The driver started the engine and left, nobody knew she came.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yu and Hai Xiaotang, started their peaceful cohabitation.
One person acting indifferent, the other trying his best to compensate, reduced the tension and arguments between them, their living together became much more harmonious.
If a person didn’t know better, they’d think they were deeply in love looking at them get along.
But only Dongfang Yu knew…
He still couldn’t touch Hai Xiaotang’s heart. No. In fact, her heart has slipped further away, harder to touch!
Therefore, every day, his inexplicable fear deepened.
Although she was right by his side and very obedient now, she felt more elusive than before…
