Rebirth Begins with Rejecting my Childhood Friend-Chapter 458 - Feeling Sorry Already?

Previously, An Shishi had lied to her mother and sister about how she and Xu Xiuwen got together.

Now, she revealed everything.

…

The three women of the An family talked for a long time.

…

After being sent out of the house by An Shishi, Xu Xiuwen wandered around the village.

By the time night fell, Liu Family Village was enveloped in complete darkness.

Unlike the city, there was no lively nightlife here.

Only a few families could afford electricity, let alone a television.

The only “nightlife” this village had was…

Xu Xiuwen walked aimlessly in the dark.

The starry sky above was far clearer than in the city.

Many stars that were invisible in the city sparkled brightly here.

The air was filled with the sound of chirping insects.

Earlier, because of the large amount of alcohol he had drunk at lunch, Xu Xiuwen’s head was still fuzzy.

That lingering drunkenness had made him overly impulsive with An Shuishui, startling her in the process.

Now, as he walked and thought, guilt filled his heart.

After wandering for a while and letting the cool night breeze sober him up completely, Xu Xiuwen finally realized how inappropriate his actions had been.

He started to think about how he should apologize when he returned.

And he couldn’t stop worrying about how the conversation among the An family’s women had gone.

He feared that Liu Ruo might have been furious, a thought that made him deeply regretful.

It was unclear how long he had been wandering when he suddenly heard someone call his name from behind.

It was An Shishi’s voice.

“Shishi, I’m here,” he called out, quickly walking toward her.

When he reached her side, he asked nervously, “Is your mom angry?”

An Shishi slipped her arm around his and leaned her head against it. In a calm voice, she said, “It’s fine now. Let’s go back.”

Xu Xiuwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of the darkness, he didn’t notice the faint smile at the corner of An Shishi’s lips.

When they returned to the An family home, Xu Xiuwen immediately noticed An Shuishui sitting on a bench in the main room.

The moment she saw him come in, her face turned bright red, and she lowered her head before quickly retreating to her room.

Liu Ruo was also there.

Xu Xiuwen cautiously glanced at her expression.

Her face was calm.

She didn’t lash out at him, only said in a mild tone, “It’s getting late. You should all rest early.”

“Okay, Mom.”

“Understood, Aunt Liu.”

After speaking, Liu Ruo went back to her room.

Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi also returned to their room.

When they entered the sisters’ room, they saw that An Shuishui was already lying on the bed.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she was lying with her back toward the door, showing only her back to the two of them.

…

An Shishi said to Xu Xiuwen, “I’ll go get some water so you can wash up.”

“I can do it myself.”

An Shishi shook her head. “No need. You just sit there. I’ll take care of you.”

“Isn’t that a bit much?”

An Shishi gave a faint smile. “There’s nothing wrong with it. You’re my husband. It’s only right for me to take care of you.”

With that, An Shishi left the room.

Now, only Xu Xiuwen and An Shui-shui were left in the room.

This time, Xu Xiuwen didn’t try anything with her.

He sat upright on An Shishi’s bed, his eyes fixed on the door.

Soon, An Shishi returned, carrying a basin of warm water.

She walked over to Xu Xiuwen, placed the basin down, and prepared to help him wash his face.

Xu Xiuwen wasn’t handicapped, of course, so he insisted on doing it himself.

After washing his face, An Shishi went out again, this time returning with another basin of warm water.

Xu Xiuwen washed his feet.

When he finished, he looked up and caught sight of An Shishi’s face.

As the saying goes, “A beauty looks even lovelier under the lamplight.”

At this moment, An Shishi’s expression was serene, with a gentle smile gracing her lips.

She seemed to radiate light, stunningly beautiful.

Xu Xiuwen thought about how impulsive he had been tonight and the mistakes he had made.

He wondered how she had managed to soothe both Liu Ruo and An Shui-shui. It must have been no easy task.

But An Shishi hadn’t said a word about it, which moved him deeply.

So, he reached out, held An Shishi’s hand, pulled her closer, and prepared to kiss her cheek.

An Shishi gave him a sharp glance, broke free from his grasp, and carried the basin out again.

After a while, she returned, having washed up as well.

As soon as she approached the bed, Xu Xiuwen reached out and pulled her into his arms.

He leaned in for a kiss.

An Shishi pushed him away, resisting slightly. In a soft voice, she said, “Don’t mess around. Shui-shui is still here.”

He whispered into her ear, “Shui-shui is asleep.”

“How could she fall asleep so quickly? She might still be listening.”

“She’s definitely asleep. Listen, there’s not a sound.”

Hearing this, An Shishi gave him a playful, knowing glance, her eyes brimming with allure.
