Chapter 279: Life for life

Luo Xichen smiled. His conversation with her sounded like a joke, but his tone was very serious.

Sha Zhixing did not expect him to suddenly say this. She looked up and met his eyes.

Her deep eyes were focused on her, like the deepest sea in the dark night.

"What do you think of my suggestion?" Luo Xichen put a spoonful of porridge to her lips and added, "Life for life."

Sha Zhixing, who had not seen a smile on her face for a few days, smiled after his words. She said casually in the tone that she usually used with him, "That depends on whether Young Master Luo can only fit one person in here."

Luo Xichen held her wrist with one hand and pressed her against his body. He did not take her words seriously. "I've only ever put one person in here."

Sha Zhixing's lips curled up in satisfaction after his words.

Luo Xichen was not a person who liked to use flowery words. She would believe his words.

She pushed him away and sat back down. She lowered her head and began to eat without him forcing her to.

She had not eaten much in the past few days. She was actually quite hungry at the moment, but she did not have much appetite.

"How did you know I was here?" She raised her head at the thought of his sudden visit

"Is that a difficult question?" Luo Xichen was very disdainful of her words.

Sha Zhixing was speechless.

"Why did you think to come here?" Luo Xichen asked as he brushed away a strand of hair that covered her face with his fingertips.

"Isn't this our home?" Sha Zhixing replied casually.

Her words were natural and she didn't even think about it.

Luo Xichen's gaze froze after hearing her words, and his eyes were filled with gentleness.

When he brought her here for the first time, he told her that after they got married, this would be their home. At that time, she was very disdainful.

However, after she was injured, she chose to come here.

This was his and her home...

Luo Xichen liked this saying.

Luo Xichen could not help but smile when he was pleased by her words.

It was obvious that the people in the castle had already regarded Sha Zhixing as the mistress of this place. Although they had only met her once, they had treated her as their master when they saw her coming. The three meals they had prepared for the past few days had been very rich. However, no one dared to disturb her.

Luo Xichen accompanied her to order some food. After that, the two of them took a walk in the castle and went upstairs side by side with her.

After entering the room, he carried her straight to the bathroom.

This time, Sha Zhixing did not show any shyness. She let him carry her into the house, put her in the bathtub, and even let him wash her hair and bathe her like a doll.

Luo Xichen had been served by others since he was young. However, he was very handy when he helped Sha Zhixing with these things. He did not look clumsy at all.

When they were young, Sha Nanfeng and An Xin would send Sha Zhixing to the Luo family if they were busy. The two of them had slept together and bathed together. Luo Xichen had done many things like helping Sha Zhixing with these things back then, but it was only out of simple help. Now, it was out of indulgence.

Luo Xichen's movements were very gentle, as if he was taking care of a treasure in his hand. After cleaning her up, he wiped her dry and carried her back to the bedroom.
