Love You for the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 297: I haven’t figured it out for twenty years

Di Xiaxia really didn’t know what she should say. She didn’t even dare to look at Di Mingzhe. She just quietly lowered her gaze, silently thinking that this must be some kind of fantasy.

But Di Mingzhe seemed wholly engrossed in helping her clean the blood and dirt off her body without saying a word.

With her body cleaned of dirt and grime, he suddenly lifted her chin. His slender fingers, cool with the icy water, brushed against her cheek.

The forceful strength in his fingers forced her to lift her head, while a surge of pain seared her cheek.

Unable to bear it, Di Xiaxia furrowed her brows.

"Does it hurt?" Di Mingzhe asked, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"No, it doesn’t." Di Xiaxia quickly responded while avoiding his gaze.

Seeing her like this, Di Mingzhe remained silent, feeling a bit dejected.

Was she that scared of him?

It seemed like she was afraid to even exchange another word with him.

He wasn’t a beast who would devour her, so why did she seem so reluctant to talk to him?

He remembered how persistently she used to cling to their younger brother.

Like when they were children, she would always pester their little brother to play with her.

Their younger brother was reticent and disliked playing with little girls because he found them particularly bothersome and annoying.

Every time their little brother hit her for bothering him, she would cry woefully and run to their second brother for consolation.

However, after a while, when she stopped hurting, she would return to pestering their little brother again.

Eventually, perhaps because of the frequency of the beatings, their little brother was too ashamed to hit her anymore.

Di Mingzhe found it strange. They were all brothers from the same mother; she could cling to their youngest brother, dote on him, and even be capricious with their middle brother, why was she always distant with him?

Was it because he wasn’t as handsome as the youngest brother, didn’t have as charming a personality as the middle one, or was he simply not as remarkable?

But everyone who knew him praised him for his excellence.
