Listening to Xie Qi's words, Lu Xingze instinctively raised a hand to lightly stroke his cheek. For some reason, he felt his cheeks burning at that moment, as if two balls of fire were blazing away.
Then, looking somewhat shy, he lowered his head even further, almost burying it in his chest.
Seeing Lu Xingze's reaction, Xie Qi sighed inwardly, knowing that he might indeed have been a bit too eager just now. After all, making the other person completely trust him would probably still take some time.
With that thought, Xie Qi slowly stood up and said in a gentle voice, "If you really don't want to go out, just stay safely at home and get some good rest. I'll bring you something delicious when I get back." With that, he turned around, about to take a step and leave.
Yet at that very moment, Lu Xingze reached out a small hand and tightly grabbed a corner of Xie Qi's robe.
At that time, even Lu Xingze himself did not know why he had made such a move. It was as if an indescribable intuition told him that if he grabbed the person before him, the inexplicable fear in his heart would gradually dissipate.
