After finishing the noodles, I stood up, stacked the two bowls together, and walked to the kitchen holding them.

When she entered the kitchen, she didn't see the small puddle of water that she accidentally spilled on the floor while washing vegetables. She stepped on it with her slipper-clad feet, but her foot slipped and she fell heavily backwards.

There was a "ping ping ping ping" sound, and the two large bowls shattered. She fell heavily to the ground, and her buttocks were almost numb from the fall.

She put her hands on the ground and tried to stand up again, but she happened to press on the fragments of the bowl. A burning pain suddenly came from the palm of her left hand. She hurriedly raised her hand, only to see that the palm had been cut by the fragments, and blood was flowing out.

risk.

"It hurts..." She frowned tightly, gritted her teeth, reached out and grabbed the table beside her, trying to stand up.

But as soon as I stood up, I felt a sharp pain in my foot again. The slip just now seemed to have sprained my ankle. As soon as I exerted force, I felt excruciating pain.

Her body fell to the ground again. She was at a loss and felt all kinds of pain coming from her whole body.

Qin Muchu, who had just changed clothes upstairs, couldn't help but frown when he heard the noise downstairs.

When he came downstairs and saw the scene in the kitchen, he couldn't help but frown deeper.

Taking a few steps forward, he suddenly bent down and picked her up.

Zhao Lingxi thought he would scold her for being clumsy, so she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to break the bowl. The floor... the floor is too slippery... so..."

"Does it hurt?" However, he was not as concerned about how she broke the bowl as she expected, but was instead concerned about herself.

These two simple words made Zhao Lingxi feel warm in her heart.

How long has it been since she felt concern for her from others?

After her mother passed away, her father married her next-door neighbor's aunt as his stepmother. There was no one in the world who really cared about her.

On weekdays at home, although she lived the life of a rich young lady, the powerful presence of her stepmother made her have to be always on guard.

When she was very young, she accidentally broke a crystal at home. Her father was not at home. As a result, she was forced to kneel for five hours. Her knees were swollen before she was allowed to get up to eat. She was also warned not to break the crystal.

Tell your father about this.

As she grows older, the warmth she can feel in that home becomes less and less.

This is also the reason why she was fascinated by Chen Zhenyu.

In fact, in everyone's eyes, Chen Zhenyu's ability to catch up with Zhao Lingxi is like a toad eating swan meat.

But unfortunately, this beautiful swan was lonely and loved by no one, so Chen Zhenyu's appearance and a little care were enough to move her for a long time.

This is also the reason why she was deceived and chose such an unreliable scumbag.

Now, the man in front of her, who originally scared her and did not dare to approach him, easily touched her heart with two simple words, making her involuntarily change her mind towards him.

Perhaps he is not as cold a man as he appears.

Being held in his arms like this, with her head resting on his chest, and listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt so safe, and even the pain in her hands and feet seemed to have eased a lot.
