Chapter 582: A Passionate Kiss

He hesitated for less than two seconds.

The person in his arms immediately began to squirm restlessly again.

"Your hands... so cool... comfortable..."

Cai Xiaotang murmured as she looked at him.

Li Xiao's brow twitched, and a string in his mind seemed to snap taut in an instant.

Just as he intended to let go, he saw someone suddenly pout slightly.

His hand was still gripping Cai Xiaotang's chin.

This resulted in her current expression looking exceptionally cute.

Yet, her mouth was busy saying provocative things.

"Why... won't you kiss me?"

Cai Xiaotang's words were shocking, her tone filled with deep confusion, as if she were truly genuinely puzzled by this question.

"Snap!"

Li Xiao heard that string in his mind, which had been pulled taut, seem to snap in an instant.

He asked, almost uncontrollably, opening his lips: "Cai Xiaotang, who am I?"

"You?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at him with some confusion.

Li Xiao's dark eyes locked onto her gaze without blinking, not even knowing himself what answer he was expecting.

Then he heard—

"You are... Li Xiao..."

Her answer was like a jar of honey poured directly onto the tip of his heart.

Li Xiao's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he lowered his head without the slightest hesitation, stealing her breath once again!

Unlike someone's kiss that came without any method, he did not have the slightest bit of gradual progression, directly laying siege to occupy all her thoughts and breath.

After only a few seconds, he noticed that the person who had been holding him had lost all strength in her hands, her whole body going limp as she leaned into his embrace.

"Mmm..."

Cai Xiaotang let out a soft moan, dizzy from the kiss, yet she did not offer the slightest resistance.

Only two words remained in Li Xiao's mind.

So obedient...

So someone actually has times when she is this obedient...

It was as if a fire had suddenly ignited in the bedroom, burning away the sanity of the two people on the bed along with it.

The dark-colored pajama top had been thrown under the bed at some point.

The light-colored one was also hanging off her shoulder, half-on and half-off.

The air was filled only with the ambiguous sounds of the two kissing; who knows how much time passed—

Only then did Li Xiao reluctantly let go of the person in his arms, his hand slowly moving down along her waist...

Just at this moment—

"Achoo!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly sneezed in a daze.

Li Xiao was also jolted awake in an instant; seeing the state of the two of them, he immediately pulled away.

It was too chaotic—

He looked at the person lying on the bed, still dazed, his chaotic brain gradually regaining clarity.

Cai Xiaotang had not yet woken up, squinting her eyes as she tried to lean toward him again.

"Mmm..."

Her tone was somewhat dissatisfied; her lips were red and swollen from the kissing, and her eyes were still glistening with moisture.

Li Xiao's throat tightened; he hurriedly grabbed the quilt from the side, wrapped her up tightly, and held her in his arms, leaving her unable to move!

"Cai Xiaotang, be good, close your eyes and sleep..."

His voice was still somewhat hoarse, yet it carried an inexplicable indulgence.

Cai Xiaotang had just been fooling around with him and was already dizzy beyond measure; hearing this, she immediately nodded obediently, closed her eyes compliantly, and before long, fell back asleep.

This time, she was much better behaved.

Li Xiao listened to her breathing gradually become steady; fearing she would get too hot, he hurriedly opened the quilt on her, but he himself had lost all sleepiness, his mind filled with the lingering, romantic images and the sensation remaining on his lips.

Her taste... was very sweet.

Even more so than he had imagined...

Li Xiao's expression tightened; not daring to continue thinking, he walked into the bathroom with a blank face once again, and then...

Took the second cold shower of the day.

Only this time it was even longer than before, taking a full hour...

The next day—

Cai Xiaotang was woken up by the sound of pruning in the garden downstairs.

She opened her eyes, first staring at the ceiling for a few seconds, and then the memories of last night all came flooding back, rushing into her mind like a tide.

Yesterday...

Yesterday, she had dreamed of Li Xiao again!

She sat up straight from the bed, eyes wide as she stared at the opposite wall, her mind filled with all sorts of restricted-level images.

She immediately covered her mouth, unable to stop herself from reaching out to pound the bed!

Damn it!

What on earth did she dream about yesterday?

Li Xiao held her, kissed her, and then the two of them almost... had a slip of the trigger?

This dream was practically on par with some kind of adult movie!

And the protagonists in it were her and Li Xiao?

Cai Xiaotang's cheeks were flushed bright red, but her fingers couldn't help but gently cover her lips, touching them lightly before pulling back as if electrocuted.

No...

Yesterday's dream was different from all the ordinary ones!

Every time she dreamed of Li Xiao before... he wouldn't say much, he would just do things that made her face flush and her heart race.

Most of those things were just images, and after waking up, they would soon become blurry, let alone leave any lingering sensation.

But in yesterday's dream, she seemed to have had a sense of touch!

Whether it was his kiss... or his hands...

A wave of heat surged up on Cai Xiaotang's face again, making her afraid to keep thinking about it, yet she couldn't stop herself from reminiscing.

"Whew... it's over... completely over..."

She buried her head entirely into the quilt, wanting to calm down.

Immediately after, she heard the bedroom door suddenly being knocked on.

"What are you doing?"

Li Xiao's voice, suppressing a laugh, sounded from the doorway, sounding as usual as ever.

Cai Xiaotang instantly lifted her head: "Nothing! I... I was just exercising after waking up!"

She found an excuse that couldn't have been more lame, and as she spoke, her gaze drifted, not daring to look in Li Xiao's direction.

Li Xiao didn't speak either, looking at Cai Xiaotang thoughtfully.

After he finished his shower yesterday, he simply sat on the sofa until dawn, not sleeping for the entire night.

Yet someone had slept soundly, sleeping straight through until now...

It was just that he didn't know if she still remembered what happened last night?

It would be best if she had forgotten...

The two of them, one on the bed and one at the door, fell into a rare silence.

A dark light flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, and he then asked with a feigned casual smile: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Great!"

Because of her guilty conscience, Cai Xiaotang answered quickly and loudly, then couldn't help but ask worriedly: "I didn't... talk in my sleep last night, did I?"

Li Xiao paused upon hearing this, suddenly sensing something, and asked back with a smile: "You had a dream last night?"

"No! I slept exceptionally well! I opened my eyes and it was already dawn! But I usually have bad sleeping habits, I was just afraid of disturbing you... it's good that I didn't talk in my sleep..."

Cai Xiaotang gave two dry laughs, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

Her expression of relief was far too obvious and unmasked; seeing this, Li Xiao smiled and didn't press the matter.

"If you're awake, get ready and come downstairs for breakfast."

He dropped the sentence and turned to leave, the smile on his face vanishing the moment he turned away.

His fingers, however, couldn't help but gently touch his own lips.

It seemed she had mistaken everything from last night as just a dream...

That was for the best.

He hadn't been calm enough last night.

Those things shouldn't have happened in the first place.
