Chapter 1505: Could She Be Going Back on Her Word?

So that's it... Old Wang is having Xu Xiaoxiao take care of the brat!

That brat is in for a rough time; with all of Xu Xiaoxiao's tricks... he probably won't be able to handle it!

Liu Xin'ai realized what was going on and shook her head with a smile.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao asked, "What are you laughing at?!"

"Nothing much, just thinking that Old Wang chose the right person."

"No, Old Wang shouldn't have chosen me! I don't know my own strength when I do things; if I really hurt Wang Sinian, the old man will definitely feel bad."

"Then you must be sure to control yourself; if the current from this instrument exceeds a certain range, it will hurt."

"Mm, I know, I've got it under control! You go ahead and get busy, let's meet another day."

Xu Xiaoxiao carried the box and left, feeling satisfied.

But as Liu Xin'ai watched Xu Xiaoxiao's retreating figure...

She had a feeling something was about to happen!

Regarding the bet, Wang Sinian had kept it firmly in his mind the whole time.

He was also looking forward to Xu Xiaoxiao keeping her word.

But over the past few days, Wang Sinian had noticed that Xu Xiaoxiao was deliberately avoiding him.

This was clearly... an attempt to welsh on the deal!

But Wang Sinian wouldn't give this woman a chance to find a loophole!

After a class ended, Xu Xiaoxiao prepared to return to the office.

As it turned out, at the stairwell, she was grabbed by an arm that suddenly reached out and was dragged into a corner!

Xu Xiaoxiao was shocked, and only after she steadied herself did she realize the person who grabbed her was Wang Sinian.

Immediately, Xu Xiaoxiao asked irritably, "What are you doing?"

"I should be the one asking you what you're doing. Tell me, why have you been avoiding me for the past two days?"

Xu Xiaoxiao said righteously, "Who's avoiding you? I was clearly busy with things."

"Busy with what? Thinking about how to confess?"

Hmm...

Xu Xiaoxiao had actually forgotten about that.

She averted her gaze and replied, "The confession... we'll talk about that later."

This response made Wang Sinian immediately knit his brows: "Xu Xiaoxiao, you wouldn't be going back on your word, would you!?"

"Who's going back on their word? I'm not that kind of person! It's just that right now, I need to help you overcome your emotional block first."

"I already said I'm fine, don't use that as an excuse."

"This isn't an excuse. Wang Sinian, I'm not joking with you; if this block isn't resolved, your life will be a mess!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's expression was serious, but Wang Sinian didn't take it to heart at all.

He even said with disdain, "What alarmist talk!"

"Is that so? Then answer me, why does your face look so bad every time you go to the teaching supply room to get things?"

Faced with Xu Xiaoxiao's questioning, Wang Sinian's eyes flickered.

But he refused to say his true thoughts, only vaguely saying, "I haven't been sleeping well, and I have to move things around, it's very tiring, so naturally my complexion doesn't look good."

Just as his voice fell, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Xu Xiaoxiao had suddenly leaned in close.

She was staring fixedly into his eyes.

Afterward, she said mysteriously, "You're lying! Actually, in your heart, you're also very repulsed by that kind of place, aren't you?"

To be honest, Wang Sinian hadn't really heard what Xu Xiaoxiao was saying.

He only felt... that she was a bit too close to him.

So close that Wang Sinian's breathing involuntarily became lighter.

Wang Sinian turned his head away, his voice losing its conviction: "I..."

"Don't try to cover it up, look at how your eyes are darting around!"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't even wait for Wang Sinian to finish before drawing her conclusion.

She also logically assumed that all of Wang Sinian's behavior was because he was feeling guilty!

To this, Wang Sinian neither denied nor explained.

And his silence made Xu Xiaoxiao even more confident.

Then she continued her analysis: "Because you were locked in a library when you were a child, you developed a repulsion toward libraries; you feel that it's oppressive there and it makes you unable to breathe! Don't underestimate this problem; if it can't be solved, your fear will be magnified. The fact that you're starting to feel repulsed by the storage room now is proof!"

Xu Xiaoxiao spoke with certainty.

At the same time, she was waiting for Wang Sinian to give a response.

But...

Wang Sinian still didn't speak.

This reaction made Xu Xiaoxiao knit her brows, and she asked unhappily, "Are you even listening to me!?"

"I'm listening." Wang Sinian finally gave a response.

But his attitude was flat: "How come I don't know about me being locked in a library? You didn't make this up, did you!"

"How could I have made it up? Your family knows about this! But this experience was too unpleasant for you, so you subconsciously hid it away."

"It could also be that I was too young and forgot."

"Please, you weren't too young to remember things back then, so stop being stubborn!"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't give Wang Sinian a chance to escape, and at the same time, she hoped he could face his own heart.

Wang Sinian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you talked to my grandfather?"

"Mm, he told me a lot of things about when you were little."

"Heh, I didn't expect the old man to still remember!"

When Wang Sinian said this, Xu Xiaoxiao could clearly sense resentment in his words.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not know exactly what had happened.

But she could choose to say what she had seen: "Your grandfather blames himself; he feels that it was their negligence that prevented them from taking good care of you."

Wang Sinian was unmoved; he lowered his eyes, his gaze full of mockery: "What use is self-reproach? What happened has already happened."

"But you can correct your future and let your life get back on track!"

As Xu Xiaoxiao said this, she suddenly grabbed Wang Sinian's hand!

This action... made Wang Sinian freeze completely!

He was half a beat slow before he asked, "What... are you doing?"

"Come with me to a place!"

After saying this, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't care whether Wang Sinian was willing or not; she grabbed his hand and ran.

And Wang Sinian actually let her drag him along like that, without the slightest intention of resisting.

When Wang Sinian finally came to his senses, he realized that Xu Xiaoxiao had actually brought him to the storage room.

The storage room was very spacious, with many supplies placed inside.

And the most eye-catching among them was undoubtedly a simple folding bed.

After the two of them entered, Xu Xiaoxiao closed the door, then pointed at the folding bed and ordered Wang Sinian: "You, lie down!"

This request...

Made Wang Sinian's pupils dilate in shock!

He even covered his chest and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was busy moving instruments out of a box and did not notice the change in expression on Wang Sinian's face.

She only felt that Wang Sinian, a grown man, was really so long-winded!

Finally, Xu Xiaoxiao said with forced patience: "What could I be doing? Treating you!"

What?

It was just treatment!?

After Wang Sinian realized he had misunderstood, he coughed lightly in embarrassment.

Then he stubbornly said: "I don't need it!"

After saying that, Wang Sinian prepared to slip away.

But the moment Wang Sinian moved, he was dragged back by Xu Xiaoxiao!

Without further ado, she pressed Wang Sinian down onto the folding bed.

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the door.
