Chapter 70: 069: Xingxing is bewitched by Gu, Changling deals with Old Lady Liao (second update) Chapter 70: 069: Xingxing is bewitched by Gu, Changling deals with Old Lady Liao (second update) Xie Shang examined the corner of her eye and noticed a tiny scratch. He fetched some ointment from the room, washed his hands again, dabbed a little ointment onto his finger, and gently spread it over the scratch.

Her eyelashes didn’t move as she watched Xie Shang.

She tilted her head back slightly, the bangs that usually masked her facial contours were blown aside by the wind. Her pupils, unobstructed by lens barriers, were bright and lively.

There was a contradictory quality about her, as if she had seen through the worldly ways, yet seemed as if she was new to the world. Her doe-like eyes were innocent, stubborn, unyielding, and unaccommodating.

“Xie Shang.”

“Hmm.”

She was smiling.

Unsure what was making her happy.

She called him, “Xie Xingxing.”

Xie Shang didn’t respond.

“When I call you, you should answer.”

Without her glasses, her beautiful eyes resembled a witch’s mirror, a mirror that could bewitch people into shedding their skins, reflecting a version of themselves they didn’t recognize.

“Xie Xingxing.”

She called again.

Xie Shang paused in his application of the ointment, “Hmm.”

“Xingxing.”

“Hmm.”

He responded.

Wen Changling smiled even more delightedly, tilting her face up so Xie Shang could apply the ointment to her eye corner.

Xie Shang had a habit he wasn’t even aware of. He disliked it when others called him by his nickname, yet he indulged everyone who could call him Xingxing, including his maternal grandmother, his mother, and Gu Yihuan during moments of mischief.
