Chapter 581: Couldn't Help But Kiss

Midnight—

In the quiet room, a soft murmur of sleep suddenly drifted out.

Cai Xiaotang was sleeping extremely restlessly; the quilt originally wrapped around her had long since been kicked away, and she was sweating profusely from the heat, tossing and turning on the bed incessantly.

Only when she found a cool spot did she stop, satisfied.

Beside her—

Li Xiao was also frowning, with a vague tendency to be woken up.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally opened his eyes in a daze, immediately feeling that the weight on his body was somewhat unusual; he had also broken into a sweat, his whole body feeling sticky.

"Tsk..."

He had always been a bit grumpy upon waking, and a trace of irritation couldn't help but flare up on his face, yet he suddenly remembered who was lying beside him, and it turned into helplessness instead.

He should have known that someone couldn't possibly sleep properly!

Her sleeping posture was simply terrible to the extreme!

Li Xiao sat up helplessly, feeling his mouth dry and parched, wanting to find a glass of water to drink.

Only upon sitting up did he discover that Cai Xiaotang had actually kicked all of the quilt that was originally covering her onto him!

No wonder he had felt so hot just a moment ago!

Li Xiao looked at the two layers of quilts piled together and helplessly returned the one belonging to that someone back to her.

Yet, less than two seconds after covering her, it was rudely kicked away by Cai Xiaotang again!

"Mm... hot..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered softly.

Only then did Li Xiao see clearly by the faint moonlight that her complexion was flushed in a somewhat abnormal way.

He paused slightly, his gaze uncontrollably shifting downward, slowly passing over her small, pink face, and turning to her slightly parted, two soft, pink lips.

Further down were her slender neck and the rounded shoulder slightly exposed due to her sleeping posture...

His body seemed to have a subtle reaction in an instant.

Li Xiao's expression suddenly tightened, he instantly realized something, and without a word, he rolled out of bed.

It was that bowl of soup!

He had originally thought it was just an ordinary "nourishing soup," but looking at it now, it was clear that some "precious" things had been added to it, which was why he had such an effect after drinking only one bowl!

Li Xiao closed his eyes, even his breathing becoming scorching in an instant.

In normal times, he certainly wouldn't have taken these things to heart.

But for some reason, at the thought of Cai Xiaotang lying on the bed completely defenseless, he didn't dare to look back.

He took a deep breath and turned to head into the bathroom without hesitation.

A few seconds later, the sound of clear water came from the bathroom.

Li Xiao let the cold water splash onto his body, but his mind couldn't help but recall the scene he had just seen on the bed.

It clearly wasn't an erotic scene.

Yet, thinking of it now, it felt unusually seductive...

The dark light in Li Xiao's eyes was bottomless, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Outside the bathroom, the person on the bed was still sleeping soundly with a flushed face.

Half an hour later—

The sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped.

Li Xiao changed back into his pajamas, walked out while wiping his hair, tossed his bath towel to the side, and then returned to the bed.

Cai Xiaotang had already changed positions again, sprawled out in a "big" shape, occupying the entire bed.

Li Xiao stared at her with some amusement for a while, then reached out, wanting to move her to the side.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he touched her...

His hand was suddenly grabbed back!

Cai Xiaotang's palms were scorching, firmly gripping Li Xiao's wrist, which still carried a chill.

Her cheeks were even redder than before, yet she showed some signs of relaxation due to the coolness on her hand, and she leaned a bit closer in Li Xiao's direction.

Li Xiao didn't move a muscle.

To be precise, he didn't dare to move.

The other person's temperature seemed to be contagious; the moment they touched, it instantly ignited a certain emotion he had managed to suppress, from the inside out.

"Mm... so cool..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered softly; seemingly unsatisfied with just hugging his arm, she leaned her whole body in as she spoke, hugging Li Xiao tightly like a koala.

The heat on her body was equally scorching.

Even the breath she exhaled while speaking was somewhat burning.

Li Xiao's eyes were bottomless.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and then said in a low voice, "Cai Xiaotang, wake up."

Once the words were out, he realized that his voice was actually somewhat hoarse.

Cai Xiaotang, however, really opened her eyes in a daze.

Her expression was somewhat hazy; seeing that it was Li Xiao in front of her, she wasn't surprised, but suddenly smiled.

"We... we meet again..."

She let herself hold Li Xiao tightly and whispered.

Li Xiao was rarely surprised, looking at her in confusion.

Meet again?

What do you mean?

Cai Xiaotang did not speak, only looking at him hazily with that half-asleep, half-awake gaze, her eyes still carrying a hint of moisture steamed up by the heat.

It must be a dream...

I knew that if I slept with this guy, I would definitely dream of him...

However... it seems like it has been a long time since I saw him appear in my dreams.

And... why is he so well-behaved today...

He actually isn't kissing me...

Then... should I be more proactive?

Anyway, it's just a dream...

Cai Xiaotang frowned slightly, and in her half-dreaming, half-waking state, she mistook their intimate posture for a dream from the past.

"Xiao Tang..."

Li Xiao's body had long been completely stained by her scorching heat; he subconsciously called out to Cai Xiaotang, but he did not know what to say next, and his gaze also unconsciously fell back onto those two crimson, tender lips that seemed to be deliberately seducing him.

The next second—

That pair of soft lips suddenly pressed against his!

Li Xiao's breath hitched violently, and his brain stalled for a rare moment.

Cai Xiaotang, however, did not know where she got the courage; she was not satisfied with just pressing her lips against his, and actually pressed her whole body against him, her pair of provocative little hands also restlessly hugging his waist tight, lightly biting his lower lip, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

Li Xiao had never felt this way before.

It was as if, in an instant, someone had injected him with a high-strength anesthetic, leaving his whole body without sensation.

No...

She is not very calm right now.

But he cannot be.

A dark light flashed suddenly in the depths of his eyes, and he tilted his head slightly, wanting to avoid someone's kiss.

Cai Xiaotang, however, pouted in dissatisfaction and blocked him again!

This time, she was even more daring, wanting to deepen this kiss!

Li Xiao's expression was dazed for a moment, almost wanting to offer no resistance at all and let her do whatever she wanted.

But it was only a brief moment.

He helplessly reached out his hand, gripped Cai Xiaotang's chin, and forced the two of them to pull apart.

His other hand was placed on her waist, wanting to pull her away.

But what he felt was not the texture of pajama fabric.

It was a patch of smooth skin.

Cai Xiaotang's pajamas had long since been pushed up from all the tossing and turning, revealing a small patch of her fair waist.

Li Xiao suddenly felt his heart tremble, and he was somewhat reluctant to move his hand away...
