Chapter 519: Chapter 519

It wasn’t until over half an hour later that Ling Chuxia finally calmed down.

Bai Yixuan took Ling Chuxia upstairs. As soon as they entered the apartment, he found a towel and draped it over Ling Chuxia’s head, helping her dry her hair. Although the rain hadn’t been heavy, Ling Chuxia had walked in it for so long, and she had just been standing downstairs for over half an hour; her entire body was already soaked through.

Ling Chuxia looked up at Bai Yixuan and saw that his hair and clothes were also wet from the rain, but from beginning to end, he had only taken care of her. A sense of guilt quietly rose in her heart, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Xuan, stop drying me off, you should dry yourself too."

As she spoke, she pushed the towel toward Bai Yixuan, but he firmly pressed it back onto her head, "You should first take care of yourself. With your fragile body, you might catch a cold in a bit. No, you better go take a hot shower and change out of all these wet clothes."

This time, Bai Yixuan pushed her towards the bathroom. Ling Chuxia was pushed to the bathroom door but didn’t want to go in, instead fixating on Bai Yixuan and saying, "I’ll shower if you do too. Don’t think you’re too tough to get sick. If you fall ill, I won’t take responsibility."

Ling Chuxia’s words amused Bai Yixuan, but seeing that she was in the mood to joke around meant that her mood had somewhat recovered. He looked at Ling Chuxia helplessly, and eventually gave in, "Alright, you shower here, and I’ll use another bathroom. Does that work for you?"

"Okay." Ling Chuxia nodded and then stepped into the bathroom.

The bathroom door closed, and Bai Yixuan shook his head with a slight chuckle, looking down at his own damp self. He was about to turn and head to another bathroom, but as he passed by the kitchen, his steps involuntarily paused.

Chuxia had been in the rain for so long, her body didn’t look strong. What if she caught a cold? He thought for a moment, turned on his heel, and still walked into the kitchen.

After soaking in the hot water bath, the sadness and suppression in Ling Chuxia’s heart were somewhat alleviated. She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes red and swollen, her complexion pale, and couldn’t help but inwardly scorn herself.

She was really useless, especially, especially useless. What was she crying for? She had resolved not to cry over Shi Che anymore!

No, she didn’t want to think about him anymore, no, no! Ling Chuxia shook her head vigorously, trying to shake Shi Che’s face out of her mind.

After all, from today on, she and Shi Che would no longer have any involvement with each other. She wouldn’t let him affect her!

Having composed herself, Ling Chuxia finally opened the bathroom door and walked out. As she stepped out into the living room, she smelled a strong scent of ginger. Ling Chuxia paused, a flicker of confusion in her eyes, and her steps unconsciously moved toward the kitchen.

She saw Bai Yixuan just as he was carrying a pot of ginger soup out of the kitchen. Seeing her, he curved his lips up in a smile and said, "Xiaxia, finished bathing? Come have a bowl of ginger soup."

Ling Chuxia’s steps halted. She looked at Bai Yixuan; he was still completely soaked, even his hair still had droplets of water in it. He had said he would go shower, but he didn’t... instead, he was making ginger soup for her while still in his wet clothes...

The tears that Ling Chuxia had managed to stop felt uncontrollably close to spilling again. Her voice was still hoarse, like it carried grains of sand, "Brother Xuan, why... why are you so good to me?"
