Part 37

○●○

Things had slowly been improving after Qiqi woke up. You and Xiao are able to live the rest of your days without having the constant worry of Qiqi's health.

However, after one problem came to an end, another arose. Though, this one wasn't as major.

But regardless.

You noticed that Xiao had become oddly quiet with you after things finally settled down. The reason for this was the male's lack of affection. Although the two of you are dating now, it was still difficult for him to be intimate with you.

But to you, this was no surprise, which is why you didn't mind as much. But Xiao did.

He felt guilty for not being as openly affectionate to you as you were to him. He wanted to improve, but he just didn't know how.

You noticed his quietness and grew worried. And seeing no other option, you decided to ask him about it.

However, you knew he wasn't one to open up so easily in person. Perhaps texting would have a different outcome.
