Chapter 239: Candy 3
She retracted, avoiding his gaze. “I…I’m sleepy…”
Shi Sui held onto the pillow she had been cradling. The girl was drunk and powerless and, for a moment, they were frozen in place.
The two entered a silent stalemate.
Like this, they held on for ten seconds.
The girl finally sighed helplessly. “Okay, then, I will only tell you and nobody else…”
“Mhm.”
“Then you can’t tell anyone else.”
“Okay.”
The man met her eyes with an indulgent and gentle gaze.
Xiang Yi whispered: “You and my brothers are all very handsome, but I think you are the most handsome… Because I like you…”
Whoosh.
An air of flirtation uncontrollably began to ferment in the air as the temperature in the room felt as if it had risen, adding another layer of entanglement.
Shi Sui raised his hand and rubbed the back of the girl’s neck. In a deceptive manner, he coaxed: “Say that again.”
Xiang Yi mumbled in a drunken manner. Softly, she managed: “I’m really sleepy…”
“You said you liked me.” The man paused. Then his peach blossom eyes smiled playfully. “And you said you want me to be your boyfriend.”
Xiang Yi rejected meekly: “I didn’t say that, I said I like your face…”
The man covered her mouth with his hand as her soft lips pressed against his warm palm. The girl blinked her long eyelashes in surprise.
“Let me think about it first before I give you an answer.” Shi Sui said, as if he was very troubled. “Sigh, you don’t know how sought after this gege is.”
Something…Something was off.
But Xiang Yi was too tired. Her eyelids drooped as she mumbled a few indistinct words and fell into a deep sleep.
Shi Sui’s eyes were filled with conflicting emotions. His throat trembled visibly as his gaze remained on the girl’s soft lips for a few seconds. Then, he gently grazed her lip with his fingertips and immediately began to laugh.
“What should I do? Gege really doesn’t want to be a decent person right now.”
Twilight approached as stars sparsely scattered the night sky.
Xiang Yi gradually woke up, only to feel a faint throbbing in her head.
She sat up and out of habit reached over to pet Xiao Naofu on the pillow next to her.
It wasn’t the usual warm and fuzzy texture.
Instead…
Xiang Yi’s eyes widened, suddenly feeling fully awake.
How could it be Shi Sui?!
Guiltily, she tried to withdraw her hand quietly, only to feel a firm grasp on her wrist.
Shi Sui slowly opened his eyes and squinted at her lazily.
No worries, just a little understanding.
…Uh, yeah right!
But Xiang Yi has travelled through many worlds and seen many things. Everything else aside, her emotional tolerance was still very outstanding. Calmly, she spoke: “Good morning.”
She was sure, as long as she remained calm, Shi Sui would be the one who would be panicking.
However…
The man’s voice was raspy and dull, sultry and light; it felt like a feather tickling her heart. “Good morning. What is Yi mei doing in my bedroom? And on my bed?”
“…” Xiang Yi inexplicably felt like she was a player who had just violated the other party and refused to take responsibility.
“Uhmm… If I said I came to tuck you in, would you believe me?”
Shi Sui raised his eyebrow.
Xiang Yi’s guilty conscience was once again activated.
A while later.
Shi Sui let go of her wrist, as if he believed her explanation. “Is that so.”
‘I am such a witty little genius!’
Xiang Yi smiled. “You rest well, I won’t disrupt you.”
She leapt off the bed and hurried out, not bothering to put on her slippers as her bare feet touched the wooden floor.
Shi Sui cupped his cheek in one hand as he stared at her with a smile.
Xiang Yi turned the doorknob…
It didn’t budge.
She froze. Behind her, the slightly flustered voice of a man rang out:
“Heh? Did you have to lock the door just to tuck me in?”
“Yi mei…What were you planning to do to me?”
