Chapter 580: I Want to Sleep Together

Their eyes met.

For a moment, Cai Xiaotang didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until Li Xiao asked with a smile again, "If you stand here and don't go upstairs, are you waiting for me to carry you up?"

"In your dreams!"

Cai Xiaotang finally came to her senses and hurriedly lifted her feet to walk up the stairs without another word, wishing she could just run straight up.

After reaching the top, she looked at the rooms on both sides of the hallway and felt a bit lost for a moment.

Li Xiao patted her shoulder with amusement and pointed toward the floor above: "My room is on the third floor; the second floor is Dad's place."

"Oh."

Cai Xiaotang lowered her head and replied, then quickly turned around to continue climbing the stairs.

However, as she passed by him, Li Xiao saw her reddened earlobes, and a hint of a smile couldn't help but flash in his eyes.

Soon, the two of them stood at the doorway of the room.

Li Xiao pushed the door open first and made a gesture of invitation.

Cai Xiaotang stood at the door without moving, her eyes scanning the room first.

Although there were many rooms here, if they really slept separately, it was indeed not very safe, so neither of them brought it up.

Li Xiao's room still had his personal style; the overall look was quite cold and detached. The only splash of color was a small bouquet of fresh flowers that the servants had deliberately placed on the table while cleaning.

Cai Xiaotang stood at the door for a few seconds before walking in.

Immediately after, she heard a "click" sound.

Li Xiao closed the door.

Cai Xiaotang swallowed subconsciously, suddenly feeling her heart rate soar significantly in an instant.

The first thing she did was glance at the bed.

Sure enough, she saw only one quilt on it.

"Um... are there any extra quilts?"

"How do you want to sleep?"

The two spoke at the same time, then stopped at the same time.

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at the person in front of him with a teasing expression.

There was a sofa in his bedroom, and he had wanted to ask what Cai Xiaotang was planning, but he didn't expect her to open her mouth and ask if there was a quilt...

"Do you want to... sleep with me?"

Li Xiao spoke with a suggestive tone, deliberately drawing out his voice.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately glared at him in annoyance, wishing she could turn back time to a few seconds ago.

This habit of speaking too fast must be changed!

It must be changed!

"Who wants to sleep with you? Stop taking advantage of me! Sleep wherever you want; I don't care if you sleep on the floor!"

As she spoke, she walked over to the wardrobe on her own, opened the door, and her eyes lit up.

Great!

There was another thin quilt inside!

It was just right for this season!

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly took the quilt out, turned around, and pushed the original quilt on the bed to one side, leaving half the space for herself.

Although she was stubborn, she could see that the sofa wasn't actually very long.

If Li Xiao slept on it, he probably wouldn't even be able to stretch his legs.

"The quilt is all laid out; do you really want to sleep with me?"

Li Xiao asked again, his mouth itching to tease.

Cai Xiaotang paused, deliberately putting on a straight face as she turned to look at him.

"I'm just afraid that if you sleep on the sofa for the night, your legs will be crippled tomorrow. If you're willing to sleep on the floor, go lay it out yourself! I'm only leaving you half the bed because this isn't my house! Otherwise, I would have made you sleep on the floor long ago!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she turned to tidy up her side of the bed, but inexplicably felt a tightness in her chest.

Why is it so hot in this room?

She could barely catch her breath...

She reached out to touch her chest, feeling her heart thumping non-stop, as if there were a little rabbit inside.

Tsk... what is there to panic about!

It's not like it's the first time we've slept together.

Anyway, nothing will happen...

Cai Xiaotang frantically comforted herself in her heart, but she didn't notice that deep down, there was actually a tiny bit of anticipation.

Li Xiao wasn't a bashful person either. Seeing that she had already tidied the bed, he simply threw his suit jacket aside, casually unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, found a set of pajamas from the wardrobe, and took out a set of her clothes that had long been prepared here for Cai Xiaotang, intending to rest.

Cai Xiaotang stood up and saw him unbuttoning his shirt; she was stunned for a moment, her eyes subconsciously following the movement of his hands.

From the collar button, slowly moving downward to his chest...

"What kind of look is that? Do you want to call me a beast in human clothing again?"

Li Xiao stopped his movements and asked back; it seemed the smile on his lips hadn't disappeared since they entered the room.

Cai Xiaotang was startled by his words and immediately turned her head away.

"I don't care what you are, why don't you go to the bathroom to change!"

She pointed to the en-suite bathroom not far away.

Li Xiao looked completely innocent: "Didn't I just get your clothes and was about to go?"

Cai Xiaotang:...

She did not want to speak anymore.

Why does it feel like nothing is right today!

Finally.

The bed, split in half for each person, was finished being tidied up.

The two of them also went to the bathroom separately to change into their pajamas, and only then did they each get into bed.

Cai Xiaotang's heart was thumping incessantly; it had not slowed down at all.

She sat half-upright in bed, leaning against the edge, watching Li Xiao on the side out of the corner of her eye without making a sound.

He was holding his phone in his hand, seemingly dealing with some important matter.

The man's slender fingers tapped on the screen one by one, causing Cai Xiaotang's thoughts to suddenly return to a dream from a certain night.

In the dream, his hands...

"Boom!"

Cai Xiaotang heard what sounded like a volcano erupting inside her head, instantly burning her entire body until it was scorching hot.

What is wrong with her?

Isn't she usually quite pure!

How is it that she has started thinking about these things now!

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form!

Cai Xiaotang recited silently in her heart, not daring to look at Li Xiao again, and quickly lay down with her back to him.

"Ready to sleep?"

Li Xiao's questioning voice sounded from behind her.

"Mm."

Cai Xiaotang gave a vague response and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, feeling incredibly fortunate.

It's a good thing there are two quilts!

If the two of them were sharing the same one, wouldn't it be mortifying right now!

The light in front of her suddenly dimmed.

It was Li Xiao who had deliberately adjusted the bedside lamp.

Cai Xiaotang felt a warmth in her heart and hurriedly closed her eyes, but for some reason, the heat in her body grew higher and higher, and she finally remembered something.

Damn...

Could it be because of that soup from the evening?

Is the effect that fast!

But Li Xiao drank it too, why doesn't he have any reaction?

No... he drank less than she did...

Cai Xiaotang's mind was in a mess, as if a kitten's claws were scratching at it, so she had no choice but to frantically count sheep in her head while hypnotizing herself.

One sheep... two sheep...

It will be fine once I fall asleep!

Once I wake up from a sleep, today will be over!

I don't know how much time passed—

She finally fell into a deep sleep, and her breathing gradually became steady.

Li Xiao had been keeping an eye on her state; seeing this, he finally put down his phone and turned to look at her, his eyes filled with an indulgence he hadn't even noticed himself.

Asleep?

It seems those soups didn't have much of an effect on her; he doesn't need to worry anymore...
