She wanted to say something, but she dared not speak up, afraid she might say something wrong to anger him again.

She could only lean her head against his lap obediently and let Xie Limo do as he wished.

Watching him attentively wipe her palms, she felt especially warm at heart.

But while her eyes were sparkling, Xie Limo's vision swept over her coldly, and she shrunk back immediately.

The sparkle in her eyes faded immediately as well.

That night, when they slept, Xie Limo hugged her as usual, but he didn't speak to her.

Yun Bixue felt troubled for a good while, but smelling the familiar and faint scent from his body, she ultimately still fell asleep in peace.

After Yun Bixue fell asleep, Xie Limo took a serious and careful look at her. He then caressed her hair and kissed her lips.

She really made him worry.

Just now, when he returned to their bedroom and saw her in that state, he knew she was letting her thoughts run wild about something.

He couldn't stand to see her torture herself, especially seeing that she even dug her nails into the skin of her palms.

Since he couldn't bear to see her like that, he couldn't bear to scold her as well. Hence, he could only let it be.

Sigh.

Wasn't he torturing himself?

Over these several days, Xie Limo took care of Yun Bixue as usual, but he refused to speak to her.

Yun Bixue dared not throw a temper as well. She felt like she was a meek little lamb right now.

Hence, she had been very obedient every day.

This day, Xie Limo went out to attend to some matter. Yun Bixue truly couldn't stand it, so she called her younger sister.

Ever since Yun Bilu won first prize in an international Wushu compet.i.tion, she had shot to fame.

Also, ever since she started her fourth year in college, as she walked on the campus of Noel Harlem University, she had been approached by many people asking for her autograph.

As a result, if there wasn't a good reason, she wouldn't randomly walk around on campus. She had truly underestimated everyone's friendliness towards her.

When Xiao Huan returned to their dorm, she saw Yun Bilu doing leg stretching exercises. She ran over and hugged Yun Bilu. "Little Lulu, you're a big celebrity now."

"Please. It's not as if you don't know that I do not have freedom now."

"Who asked you to be a celebrity? Every country knows about you now. There are even reporters waiting to interview you!"

"I don't wanna do any interviews. I practiced Wushu and got first place for one person."

Xiao Huan's eyes turned into small crescents as she said with a smile, "I know. You did it for your idol Young Master Huang. But all this is for you."

Xiao Huan then took out a stack of papers and books from her bag and handed them to Yun Bilu.

"Why are you giving these to me?"

"Everyone's asking you for your autograph!"

Yun Bilu's eyes widened. "You brought them here?"

"Right. Thanks to you, everyone treats me very well now. I felt bad rejecting them, so I took them here for you to sign. Hehe!"

Yun Bilu gripped Xiao Huan's neck in one swoop. "Ah ah, I really want to strangle you, Sister. Is this how you treat me?"

Yun Bilu felt like crying as she stared at that pile of stuff.

"Bilu, your sister is happy for you now that you're famous. Haven't you heard of the saying 'when one becomes an immortal, his chickens and dogs all ascend to heaven'?"

Yun Bilu said with clenched teeth, "You guys are chickens and dogs?"

"No, no, I said it wrong. It should be 'when the river rises the boat floats high'[1]… Hehe, just sign them!"

With her hands on her waist, Yun Bilu boomed, "Confess the truth. What benefits did you receive from everyone?!"

Xiao Huan meekly retreated several steps. The Little Lulu right now was a highly skilled martial arts expert, so she had to be careful. "En, well, nothing much. Although it's a lot, you're still number one in my heart."
