Chapter 14 He Can't Bear It

When Mu Jingpei went back, it was already dark.

Aixi had changed her clothes and was holding a glass of hot water. He handed her a large bag. After taking it, she immediately entered the room and closed the door without looking at him.

Mu Jingpei leaned against the door. He had not taken off his wet clothes, and there was still a lot of mud on his pants.

For most people, if their hair and clothes were wet, they would definitely look very embarrassed, but he would not. The wet hair hanging casually on his forehead made his elegant temperament a little more unruly.

After a while, when he felt that it was almost the time, Mu Jingpei knocked on the door and asked, "Have you done? I have something to tell you."

Aixi slowly opened the door and came out with a flushed face.

She knew what he was going to say. After hesitating for two seconds, she looked up at him.

She had to face it sooner or later.

He was wrapped in water vapor, and his slender shadow was reflected on the mottled wall.

In fact, she had already thought it through and didn't blame him. They had just met, and he had no obligation to take her to Shanghai. He had already been very kind to her on the way with him.

She shouldn't have pushed her luck, demanded more, and been angry with him.

That was exactly what people meant, "Long period time of continuous help may become dependent and resentful after stopping help."

"I'm sorry," Aixi lowered her eyes and said shamefully.

She was sincerely apologizing, and her gratitude to him was sincere.

She could go to Shanghai in another way. There would always be a way.

Mu Jingpei had a lot on his mind. He was caught off guard by her apology.

He knew why she said sorry. He felt a little guilty and his heart was heavy.

He shouldn't have lied to her. She was so innocent that it was easy for her to take it seriously.

The little girl was so sensible that it made people feel sorry for her. Her greedy uncle and aunt could teach her that.

Mu Jingpei didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked, "Were you not using sanitary napkin during your period before?"

Such an embarrassing thing happened, and Mu Jingpei even bought sanitary napkins for her. Aixi had a red face, but now her face was even redder. She was too embarrassed to look into his eyes.

How could he discuss this kind of thing with her without batting an eyelid?

"In the past, when my father was still alive, he would buy sanitary napkin for me every time he went to town. Later, when I lived with my uncle and aunt, they never bought. In fact, it's not a big deal. Most of the people here don't use it." Mu Jingpei went to buy sanitary napkin for her, which moved her and reminded her of her father.

Looking at her eyelashes trembling because of embarrassment, Mu Jingpei was silent for a few seconds and said, "I'll take you to Shanghai."

"What did you say?" Aixi widened her eyes in surprise, feeling that she had misheard.

"It's true this time," Mu Jingpei said seriously.

It was hard for rich man like Mu Jingpei to imagine that woman would not use sanitary napkin during period. In other words, he had never paid attention to such trivial things before.

Aixi might have lived a much more difficult life than he had imagined. Many things that he took for granted might be luxury and unreachable for her.

After walking for such a long time to the small store, where there were only a few sanitary napkins of unknown brand, Mu Jingpei wanted to buy more sanitary napkins for Aixi in the future so that she could use them during her period.

At that moment, he decided to take her to Shanghai.

Even if he could support her, there were times, he couldn't take care of everything from such a distance. What if her uncle and aunt came to her? What if she encountered other difficulties again?

It was hard to imagine that the little girl suffered, her eyes turned red from crying, but he didn't know.

He couldn't bear to be like this because they knew each other.

Moreover, she wanted to go to Shanghai very much.

Instead of letting her go to Shanghai with others in the future, or letting her go by herself, which was unknown what kind of difficulties and sinister hearts she would encounter, it was better for him to take her there and take her away from this kind of environment completely.

If that Xie Jun is unreliable, he can take care of her.

He helped her settle down in Shanghai.

Aixi did not expect that Mu Jingpei would change his mind and take her to Shanghai. She felt like she was dreaming.

"Are you really going to take me to Shanghai? Aren't you lying to me?" She still had some doubts and disbelief, for fear of waking up from a dream.

Since last night, she had asked many times, but Mu Jingpei was a little annoyed. He said in a cold tone, "If you keep asking, I'll be lying to you."

Aixi immediately shut her mouth.

But after a while, she couldn't help asking, "When are we leaving?"

She always felt uneasy if she didn't figure it out.

The rain stopped in the middle of the night yesterday, and a ray of sunlight appeared in the sky today, breaking the gloom of the past few days.

Mu Jingpei said lazily, "Just wait. My hand hasn't recovered yet, so it's not convenient for me to drive."

"I can drive." Aixi felt that she should be a useful person. "I don't think it's difficult. It's easier than a bus. I can drive a bus."

Mu Jingpei looked at her. He felt that he was a little crazy because he was actually considering the feasibility.

Since the rescue team could come in, it meant that the way out had been cleared. They should set off as soon as possible while the weather was good. Otherwise, if it rained heavily, they would be trapped for many days again.

Aixi continued, "I saw you drive before, so I can drive now."

Mu Jingpei curled his lips.

What she said meant driving was as simple as playing house. Even though she dared to drive, he didn't dare to sit.

"Let me rest for two more days, and then we'll set off if it doesn't rain."

Aixi nodded.

She was going to Shanghai soon. The more she thought about it, the happier she became. After looking at the looming sunshine in the sky, she smiled sweetly at Mu Jingpei and said in a crisp voice, "Mu Jingpei, you are like my sun."

There seemed to be sunlight shining in her eyes, bright and hot, which could not be ignored by Mu Jingpei.

Mu Jingpei has heard all kinds of good words. No matter they were sweet, flirtatious, or artistic, he had immuned to them long before and had never taken them to heart.

But it was the first time that someone had compared him to the sun.

He knew that Aixi was not affected. It was just the most simple metaphor for her.

Sunlight could dispel the haze and bring a clear sky. He was her sun, appearing in her life, bringing her away from suffering.

From then on, the sun would shine brightly.

Such sincerity and enthusiasm made Mu Jingpei very happy.

His heart, which had always been calm and unshakable, beat a little faster, and he was also in good mood.

Because his life had been smooth since he was a child, he could get whatever he wanted without any effort. Some people even took the initiative to give whatever he wanted to him, so it was difficult for him to be really pleased by material desires. He had not been in a good mood for a long time.

He felt that Aixi would be amazing in a few more years. How many men could withstand such a generous and sweet praise?

The little girl would definitely be a scourge in the future.

However, at this time, Mu Jingpei did not expect that the little girl would harm him in the future.
