Chapter 709: Waking Up in His Arms

It is time to stop.

Li Xiao heard a voice in his mind reminding him.

Yet his hand seemed to have been cast under a spell, uncontrollably pulling away the other shoulder strap of the sleeping woman.

The silky fabric slid across her body, finally returning to its original position, revealing the "spring scenery" that had been hidden.

Li Xiao deliberately suppressed his slightly heavy breathing, but his gaze could not help but move slowly downward with aggression.

His mind felt as if it had been split into two people at this moment.

One was trying its best to maintain reason, while the other was clamoring to vent its desire.

Even if this was not "gentlemanly" enough, and even a bit... blatantly lewd.

The only person who could make him lose control like this... was her.

His burning lips, in the end, could not help but press against hers, tossing and turning, letting her be stained with his scent.

And then, taking advantage of the moment...

She still carried a faint fragrance on her body, like a little snack that was constantly enticing him.

Li Xiao's kiss was very gentle, but a domineering desire for destruction had already been clamoring in his mind for a long time.

He wanted to kiss her...

Wanted to, especially...

And he wanted to leave his mark on her!

He even wanted to wake her up directly, see her panicked expression, and then, regardless of anything else... take her!

Dangerous thoughts churned in his mind, and his reason seemed to have completely slipped away.

"Mmm..."

Cai Xiaotang seemed to feel that something was not quite right; feeling a bit hot and numb, she stirred slightly.

Li Xiao's whole body stiffened abruptly, and he was instantly jolted awake, his gaze regaining a trace of clarity in an instant.

He remained stiff and did not move, afraid that the person in his arms would truly wake up.

After a long while, sensing that her breathing had become long and steady again, he felt a bit more at ease.

"Hoo..."

Li Xiao let out a sharp breath, finally putting some distance between them, and held her firmly in his arms.

With his desire unfulfilled, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He gave a bitter smile, lowered his head to press a kiss to Cai Xiaotang's forehead, and then held her even tighter.

He wouldn't take a cold shower today...

Experiencing this sweet "torture" didn't seem so bad, did it?

The next day—"Holy crap!!!!"

Amidst a deafening scream, Li Xiao frowned and opened his eyes.

Before he could even collect his thoughts, he felt someone struggling incessantly in his arms.

Almost subconsciously, he pinched the waist of the person in his arms, and the next second—the other person seemed to go completely rigid.

Immediately following—"Li Xiao, you dirty pervert! Let go!"

Cai Xiaotang kept prying at Li Xiao's hand locked around her waist, not even noticing that her shoulder strap had quietly slipped down.

What Li Xiao saw when he opened his eyes was a "sensual" scene; he was stunned for a moment, and then felt the heat that had finally subsided last night instantly return.

"What's wrong?"

He asked in a raspy voice, and the sexiness of his tone made Cai Xiaotang's fingertips go numb.

She then hurriedly broke free from his arms and asked indignantly, "How dare you ask me what's wrong? Why am I in your bed!"

She looked toward the sofa in a fit of pique.

Only then did she see her quilt and outer robe all thrown on the floor.

Wait a minute...

Outer robe?

Cai Xiaotang froze for a moment, looked down at her attire, and hurriedly pulled the quilt over to wrap herself up!

"What are you looking at! Pervert!"

Cai Xiaotang's face flushed red, her mind filled with the heart-palpitations she felt the moment she woke up and saw Li Xiao before her.

Li Xiao rubbed his temples and sat up in bed with amusement.

Thinking of what happened last night, he couldn't help but curl his lips, then deliberately asked slowly: "Are you sure... that I'm the one being a pervert?"

"Otherwise what! Could it be that I myself..."

Cai Xiaotang stopped mid-sentence, suddenly hesitating for a moment.

Surely...

She couldn't have run up here on her own, could she?

How could that be possible!

"Heh... remembered?"

Li Xiao's smiling voice interrupted Cai Xiaotang's train of thought.

Cai Xiaotang immediately looked at him vigilantly: "Remembered what?"

"That you ran up here yourself."

Li Xiao looked perfectly matter-of-fact, following her lead to explain: "Last night, I was halfway through sleeping when you ran up here yourself, and you insisted on holding onto me and wouldn't let go. How did I not know... that you had a habit of sleepwalking?"

"I do not!!!"

Cai Xiaotang immediately retorted.

Li Xiao, however, was already shaking his head with a teasing expression and sighing: "So your obsession with me... is already this deep? You actually wanted to come and molest me even while asleep in the middle of the night..."

"Stop flattering yourself!"

Cai Xiaotang was instantly embarrassed and angry, but for a moment she didn't know how to explain it, and she really began to doubt what Li Xiao said.

Could it be... that she was really sleepwalking?

Although her sleeping posture was indeed not great, this was just too unscientific!

But why did this guy look like he was actually enjoying it?

He really was a stinking pervert, taking advantage whenever he could!

Perhaps he even thought she was hilarious like this...

Cai Xiaotang felt a lump in her chest, but she said with a straight face: "It might be because I've been too tired lately and didn't sleep well on the sofa. Don't worry, this won't happen again. I also said I wouldn't pester you, so you don't need to feel pressured. Once the old man's health recovers, we will divorce. I guarantee I won't delay you from being with your sweetheart!"

"I... don't need to feel pressured?"

Li Xiao held back his laughter; even though his sleep had been forcibly interrupted, he was in an unexpectedly good mood at this moment.

Just wait a little longer...

He would soon be able to resolve everything...

And then, be with his "sweetheart."

"What are you laughing at!"

Cai Xiaotang was furious at his laughter and couldn't help but snap at him.

The next second—her hair was ruffled by a hand.

"It's nothing. You should sleep a while longer. You don't need to get up early while staying here; just be casual."

*Slap. *

Cai Xiaotang swatted his hand away, her expression subtle: "I got it. Just talk, why do you always have to be handsy!"

As she spoke, she quickly wrapped the quilt around herself, wanting to continue sleeping.

But she didn't expect that she had also pulled Li Xiao's portion over in the process.

Immediately after, her gaze froze.

She saw that although Li Xiao's clothes were all worn properly on his body, but... ah, what did she see!!!

It was too obvious, heavens!!!

That was...

"I... you..."

Cai Xiaotang's face felt as if it could fry an egg in an instant. She subconsciously pointed a finger, then realized it wasn't appropriate and hurriedly pulled her hand back.

"Can you be more mindful!"

She looked away, both shy and angry, her tone trembling involuntarily.

Li Xiao, however, looked calm. He lowered his eyes to glance down, his voice hoarse: "How am I supposed to be mindful? Isn't this the most normal reaction for every man in the morning?"

"Bu... but..."

Cai Xiaotang stammered for a long time, too embarrassed to know what to say, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw Li Xiao roll out of bed.

"You sleep a while longer, I'm going to go take care of this."

"Take care of it how?"

Cai Xiaotang asked back subconsciously.

Once she finished speaking, the air suddenly went quiet.

Cai Xiaotang froze in place, wishing she could bite off her own tongue.

Damn it...

Was she an idiot!

How else could one take care of a situation like this!
