Chapter 260: Chapter 259: You Annoy Me, Don’t You? (5)

However, as Ling Chuxia extended her hand halfway, it halted involuntarily, because she remembered that Shi Che didn’t like her touching him casually. As she thought about it, she couldn’t help feeling hesitant.

But the atmosphere was so good right now, it was an excellent opportunity to deepen their connection. Could she really let this moment pass?

Moreover, it was just a matter of holding hands; surely that wouldn’t be too much, would it?

As she pondered, Ling Chuxia’s retracted hand slowly reached out again. While she struggled with whether to grasp Shi Che’s hand, all her attention was focused on this, so much so that she failed to see the pillar ahead. Just as her hand was about to touch Shi Che’s, she walked straight into the pillar. She couldn’t help but gasp in pain, her hand instantly covering her forehead.

Shi Che heard a dull thud and stopped in his tracks, turning to look. He saw Ling Chuxia’s forehead slam straight into the pillar, her face contorted in pain.

Observing her like this, Shi Che’s brows knitted together tightly, his voice deep and serious, "Aren’t you watching where you’re going? How could you walk into a pillar?"

A wave of endless embarrassment surged in Ling Chuxia’s heart, almost overtaking the pain in her forehead. She couldn’t possibly tell him that her distraction—due to pondering over whether to hold his hand—caused the collision, could she?

And his voice had suddenly become deep again. This... could it be that he found her embarrassing?

Feeling a bit lost, Ling Chuxia hung her head, instinctively wanting to apologize. She opened her mouth to speak, but then, a warm hand touched hers, resting on her forehead, gently massaging.

Ling Chuxia stood there, stunned, forgetting to utter her apology. Slowly, she lifted her head; Shi Che stood before her, and because he was taller, she had to tilt her head back to see his face.

That handsome face showed no trace of gloom, no hint of the anger she anticipated. His dark eyes, cast down, looked at her with that deep, inscrutable gaze. Yet, she could sense a faint warmth emanating from him.

He massaged her forehead with a gentle touch, gradually easing her pain. Ling Chuxia’s heart felt as though it was being softly caressed by his large hand, melting into water.

After a while, Shi Che’s hand left Ling Chuxia’s forehead. His dark eyes fixed on her, his voice still slightly low, yet tinged with a hint of reminiscence, "Just as before, always so reckless, never walking properly."

At these words, memories flooded back for Ling Chuxia. She recalled how she used to constantly get into trouble, often inadvertently causing a mess. Back then, every time she got into trouble, it was Shi Che who would tidy up after her.

Ling Chuxia looked up at Shi Che, her hand slightly gripping, her voice very low, "Back then, you must have found me really annoying."

It was always her mess, yet he was the one who had to deal with it. Even though he never complained, how could he possibly not find her bothersome?

Her elder sister was always the opposite, competent in her actions, quiet and composed, never a worry to anyone, never a burden.

Shi Che hadn’t expected Ling Chuxia to suddenly say such a thing. His dark eyes briefly showed surprise, his expression drifting into a daze.

Was he annoyed with her back then?

No, he wasn’t annoyed with her at all. No matter how much trouble she caused him, he had never once been bothered by her.
