Chapter 734: Spoiling Her Like a Child

~7 min read 1,350 words

Li Xiao scanned the area, but paid it no mind; after being informed by the bartender that someone had already settled the bill, he took Cai Xiaotang and headed out the door.

The weather outside was a bit chilly, and patches of snow could still be seen everywhere.

Worried that she might be cold, Li Xiao supported her and quickened his pace.

But he hadn't expected that as soon as they stepped outside, Cai Xiaotang would stand her ground, refusing to move another step!

"You... let go of me!"

Cai Xiaotang tried her best to shake off Li Xiao's hand.

People around them were already looking over.

Li Xiao didn't dare to let go, so he had to coax her softly in her ear: "Let's get in the car first, okay? I'll let go once you're in the car..."

"No!"

Cai Xiaotang retorted loudly, pointing instead at a bench not far away on the side of the road: "I want to go sit there!"

"Go there?"

Li Xiao was stunned at these words; he glanced at the bench, which was covered in melted snow, and immediately felt a headache coming on.

He still wanted to try and "negotiate" with Cai Xiaotang.

But the person in his arms suddenly had surprising strength; she violently shook off his hand and strode unsteadily toward the bench!

"Xiao Tang!!!"

Li Xiao hurriedly followed in two steps.

Seeing that she was about to sit down directly without even looking, he hurriedly grabbed her!

"What are you doing... I... I just want to sit for a while... is that not allowed?"

Cai Xiaotang looked up at him with dissatisfaction, her tone coquettish, her eyes already filled with grievance; she looked so pitiful, as if she were about to cry the next second.

She just didn't want to go home; was she not even allowed to sit by the side of the road and watch the snow for a while!

"Hoo..."

Li Xiao let out a long sigh, simply not knowing what to do with her.

He could clearly just force her away.

But seeing her so aggrieved, he suddenly couldn't bear it.

It was just a bit of drunken madness!

At worst, he would just indulge her madness this once!

Thinking this, Li Xiao simply took off his coat, folded it twice, and tossed it onto the bench.

"Sit."

He looked at Cai Xiaotang with amusement, his tone filled with an intense, unmelting indulgence.

Cai Xiaotang seemed not to have expected a free "cushion"; she was stunned for a moment, then sat down happily!

"Hehehe... Li Xiao..."

She raised her face and giggled at Li Xiao, looking like a completely different person from the one who was angry at him in the bar just moments ago.

Li Xiao was amused by her and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

"What are you calling me for? You little troublemaker, you only know how to torment me..."

He muttered in a low voice, and seeing that the button at Cai Xiaotang's collar wasn't fastened, he hurriedly helped her button it up.

Cai Xiaotang pouted again.

"I'm not... a troublemaker... don't call me that..."

She looked unhappy and lowered her eyes as she spoke.

Li Xiao curled his lips and took the opportunity to ask: "Then what should I call you?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned at the question and didn't speak; she just frowned slightly, seemingly thinking about the problem seriously.

Then, her eyes suddenly caught a small pile of snow in the corner of the bench, and her eyes lit up instantly; she immediately reached out to grab it!

"Don't touch it, it's cold."

Li Xiao was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grasping her hand.

Cai Xiaotang obediently stayed still, but stared into his eyes with unusual seriousness, asking like a primary school student reporting to a teacher: "Can I... build a little snowman..."

Li Xiao: "..."

Did she know how cute she looked right now?

So cute... that he didn't want to refuse any request she made.

"Can I..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cai Xiaotang gently shook his hand again.

Li Xiao, who originally had an expression that said "there's no room for negotiation," instantly deflated at her words and let out a resigned chuckle.

"Fine~ I'll help you build one~"

As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of snow with one hand.

The icy sensation immediately stung the skin of his entire palm, turning it red.

Li Xiao didn't care at all and quickly rolled up a small snowball.

"Wow... so amazing..."

Cai Xiaotang applauded very enthusiastically.

Li Xiao paused, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

He was truly crazy... to actually be here doing this kind of thing with her...

While thinking this, he rolled up another snowball, slightly smaller than the first, to serve as a little head, and placed it on the round body he had made earlier.

"All done."

Li Xiao placed the "snowman" in his hand into Cai Xiaotang's hands.

Even though it had no facial features and no arms, and was practically as perfunctory as could be, Cai Xiaotang stared at it for a few seconds, yet still smiled with sparkling eyes.

"Cute!"

She poked the snowman's head happily, her wish finally satisfied.

Li Xiao chuckled and couldn't help but pinch her cheek.

"Silly..."

He muttered under his breath, then asked again while negotiating: "Can you go home with me now?"

"Go home?"

The smile on Cai Xiaotang's face vanished instantly, as if she were seriously considering this question.

Then she looked down at the little snowman in her hands again and finally nodded obediently.

"Go home... okay..."

She said obediently, standing up from the bench unsteadily.

Li Xiao hurriedly steadied her, picked up his own "dreadful-looking" coat, and led her toward where the car was parked.

But before they had walked two steps, the person in his arms suddenly started being uncooperative again!

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiao stopped, and then saw Cai Xiaotang staring intently into the distance.

This was an entire street of bars.

Looking out, it was filled with bars decorated in all sorts of styles, a scene of bright lights and bustling nightlife.

The one right in the middle seemed to have just opened, with two huge flower baskets placed at the entrance.

Cai Xiaotang stared at it for a long while, then suddenly strode over!

"Xiao Tang! Where do you want to go now?"

Li Xiao followed with a laugh, afraid she would fall if she walked too fast.

Cai Xiaotang didn't answer, but just reached out toward the flower basket on the left, saying something shocking: "I want that!"

"Huh?"

Li Xiao watched that flower basket, which was as tall as his own chest, and froze on the spot.

Had she drunk too much today?

When she got drunk in the past, she hadn't been this capable of making things difficult for him!

He came back to his senses and negotiated with Cai Xiaotang amusedly: "Xiao Tang, this flower basket... is too big. If you want flowers, I'll buy you others later, okay?"

"No!"

Cai Xiaotang shook her head like a wave: "I want this one! You..."

She suddenly turned to look at Li Xiao, her tone carrying a hint of accusation: "You have never... given me flowers, so... you have to... give me a big one!"

Li Xiao: "..."

It was true that he had never given her any...

But who would give an entire flower basket meant for celebrating a grand opening!

Seeing that he didn't speak, and feeling very dizzy, Cai Xiaotang simply resorted to her old trick and grabbed his hand.

"I don't care! I just want this... you... you buy it for me..."

Her voice was sweet and coquettish, even softer than when she had asked him if she could build a snowman earlier.

Li Xiao's brow twitched violently, and without another word, he pulled her into the bar in front of them.

It was just a flower basket, wasn't it!

Buy it!

He would buy her as many as she wanted!
