Chapter 320 This way of getting along is really bothering me.
"Where do you feel unwell? Shall we go to the hospital? You look terrible."
Huo Muchen drove the car, his gaze frequently drifting to Liu Shiyin, who sat in the passenger seat with her eyes closed, his heart filled with worry.
Liu Shiyin kept her eyes tightly closed and answered in a slightly tired voice:
"I'm fine, Mu Chen, I want to go back and rest."
After hearing this, Huo Muchen nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. He just stepped on the gas, wanting to get home as soon as possible.
Upon arriving home, Huo Muchen smiled and said to Liu Shiyin:
"You lie down for a while, I'm going to take a shower."
However, the weariness and irritability in his eyes were hard to hide, and Liu Shiyin saw it all.
"I'm making you very tired, aren't I?"
Huo Muchen, who had just taken off his coat, paused slightly upon hearing Liu Shiyin's words. He turned to face her and whispered...
"Why do you say that? You heard what my mother said, didn't you?"
Watching Huo Muchen walk towards her step by step, Liu Shiyin nodded.
“They’ve just heard rumors from others; they don’t know you. I’ll explain things to them clearly.”
Huo Muchen knelt down beside Liu Shiyin's feet, took her hands in his, and gently comforted her.
“But it’s true that I went to jail, I don’t have a good family background, and I don’t have a clean reputation. These are all real, and no amount of explanation can erase them.”
“They are your parents, they love you so much, are you going to break ties with them for me? I don’t want that, I don’t want another charge against me. You should really find a pure girl from a respectable family, not someone like me with a stain on her reputation.”
Liu Shiyin withdrew her hands, her eyes revealing a sense of collapse.
Huo Muchen slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on Liu Shiyin, his emotions a mixture of barely concealed anger and confusion:
"Why do you always distrust me? Why can't you trust that I can solve all of this? Shion, do you know? The exhaustion I feel doesn't stem from you, but from the distrust between us. From the time we met until now, I've always had to keep asking, comforting, and coaxing you before you're willing to open up. This way of getting along really bothers me."
He paused and continued:
"You don't trust me because you think I'm incompetent, unable to protect you, or unable to provide you with a safe haven, right? Or do you believe that only by keeping everything buried deep inside, or choosing to run away, will the problems naturally resolve themselves? No, problems must be faced head-on to be solved. I've been working on solving them one by one, but have you ever considered that I also have my own difficulties and concerns, and I also need your understanding and support? I sincerely hope that we can be honest with each other and work together, instead of the current situation where I'm constantly trying to guess your thoughts, while you're questioning my abilities."
Huo Muchen's eyes revealed deep disappointment and helplessness.
He knew that Liu Shiyin might not have meant it, but her behavior did make him feel very tired.
Faced with Huo Muchen's words, Liu Shiyin seemed somewhat at a loss. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, a mixture of fear, guilt, and inferiority.
Her fear stemmed from her dread of losing this hard-won relationship and her fear that her actions would truly hurt Huo Muchen.
Guilt stemmed from her realization that she hadn't given Huo Muchen enough trust and support, instead causing him too much pressure and burden.
Her inferiority complex stemmed from the fact that she always felt she was not good enough for Huo Muchen and worried that she would not be able to walk alongside him.
These emotions intertwined within Liu Shiyin, making it difficult for her to calm down.
