Chapter 756: Liking Someone Cannot Be Hidden

The atmosphere seemed a bit too quiet.

Cai Xiaotang stood where she was, feeling as though every second was dragging on for a long time.

How could doing hair take so long?

She muttered softly in her heart, finally unable to help asking: "Are you done yet?"

"Almost."

Li Xiao's voice suddenly sounded right against her ear, accompanied by the warm breath from his speech, making half of Cai Xiaotang's body uncontrollably go numb!

Damn!

When did this guy get so close?

She subconsciously wanted to move forward a step.

But the moment she moved, her scalp was yanked hard again!

"Hiss... so painful..."

She let out a cry of pain, her body stiffening abruptly.

"Don't move around."

Li Xiao's voice sounded again, his tone sounding even deeper than before.

Cai Xiaotang felt her whole body go numb this time, and she immediately behaved, not daring to continue moving around.

A hint of a smile flashed in the depths of Li Xiao's eyes, and catching a glimpse of someone's increasingly red earlobes, he suddenly couldn't help but want to tease her again.

"Why are your ears red?"

Li Xiao asked in a low voice, mischievously and deliberately letting all his breath fall against her ear.

It was incredibly wicked.

Yet he couldn't control the urge to do so.

He liked watching her blush and have her heart race for him.

Cai Xiaotang became even more tense all over, hurriedly trying to make excuses: "Who told you to get so close? I... I'm allergic to you!"

She found an excuse that couldn't be any lamer, and after saying it, she wished she could bite off her own tongue.

What did she mean by allergic?

What kind of nonsense was she spouting!

"Allergic, huh..."

Li Xiao deliberately drew out his voice, choosing to bring up exactly what shouldn't be mentioned: "Then how are you going to take advantage of me?"

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang heard the obvious teasing in his tone and finally couldn't help but turn her head abruptly to defend herself: "I was just joking before..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her scalp felt a sharp pain, then suddenly went slack!

That small lock of hair seemed to have been snapped off directly by her overly large movement.

Her scalp tingled in waves.

Cai Xiaotang, however, froze in place, looking at someone's eyes that were inches away.

The air had become somewhat ambiguous at some point.

Li Xiao only needed to lower his head slightly to touch her lips, which were right in front of him.

Cai Xiaotang blinked, her heartbeat soaring to its peak in an instant.

This... what is this situation?

How did it suddenly turn into this ambiguous state again?

She snapped back to her senses, subconsciously wanting to retreat.

But she was suddenly grabbed by the waist!

Something seemed to be suppressed in Li Xiao's deep eyes, looking like it was about to erupt.

The time spent unable to express his feelings seemed even harder to endure than he had imagined...

He wanted to tell her.

She could take advantage of him however she wanted; he was very willing to let her take advantage of him for a lifetime.

Some kind of emotion was clamoring to surge out.

His reason was also gradually being invaded by emotion.

After a long while—"Cai Xiaotang."

Li Xiao suddenly called Cai Xiaotang's name extremely seriously.

"Huh?"

Cai Xiaotang responded blankly, a strange premonition rising in her heart.

She felt that someone seemed to have something important to say.

Li Xiao's gaze moved down inch by inch, landing on her lips, then circled back to meet her eyes, and he slowly said: "If I said... I li..."

His voice was pressed extremely low, his expression clearly very serious, yet his brows were furrowed tightly.

Just at this moment—"Xiao Tang, you..."

Jiang Baobao's voice suddenly sounded behind Li Xiao, and after saying only three words, there was no more sound.

Cai Xiaotang was jolted awake, hurriedly pushing Li Xiao away without a word and taking a big step back.

Li Xiao: "..."

His voice seemed to have been suddenly pulled away.

The three of them looked at each other, and no one spoke.

After a long while—Jiang Baobao was the first to come back to her senses and hurriedly said: "Sorry, I... I'll go downstairs first..."

She said this and was about to leave.

But no sooner had she turned around than someone grabbed her wrist from behind and yanked her into the room!

"Baobao, I have something to tell you. Li Xiao, you can go now!"

Cai Xiaotang moved extremely fast; with one hand she pulled Jiang Baobao, and with the other, she had already pushed Li Xiao out, then promptly shut the room door!

With a "bang"!

The inside and outside of the room were cut off into two separate worlds.

Li Xiao had nearly had his hand caught by the door. Looking at the tightly shut door in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, then turned and left, though his heart was in complete turmoil.

His confession had been interrupted...

Inside the room—Cai Xiaotang was also looking at Jiang Baobao with some embarrassment.

Jiang Baobao, however, had already recovered; she leaned against the table with her arms crossed, staring at Cai Xiaotang with a face full of "scrutiny."

"Miss Cai Xiaotang, are you going to confess yourself, or shall I ask you?"

Jiang Baobao tapped her fingers on the tabletop, and thinking of the scene she had just witnessed, her expression couldn't help but turn somewhat gossipy.

She had finally caught her once!

In the past, it was always Xiao Tang, this fellow, who gossiped about her!

The flush on Cai Xiaotang's face had not yet faded, and upon hearing this, she immediately explained: "It's not what you think! I was just caught by the strap buckle in my hair, and I wanted to ask Li Xiao to help me undo it..."

"Oh... caught in your hair..."

Jiang Baobao nodded in "sudden realization," then immediately changed the subject: "If you hadn't said that, I would have thought you two were planning to kiss just now..."

"Jiang Baobao!!!"

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly interrupted her, speaking at a rapid pace: "How could that be possible for us two! It's not like you don't know, he has already rejected me, but... who told that certain someone to be such a big scumbag! He likes to flirt with me for no reason!"

As Cai Xiaotang said this, she couldn't help but think of the scene from just a moment ago, and her heart was in a mess.

Jiang Baobao, however, was somewhat surprised. She suddenly caught onto a certain point and hurriedly pressed: "You mean to say, Li Xiao often... flirts with you like he did just now?"

"Yeah... and you don't even have to look at him to see he looks like a beast in human clothing and an Old Scoundrel; he must do this kind of thing often when he's out..."

Cai Xiaotang admitted it straightforwardly and complained with annoyance.

Jiang Baobao did not speak, but after a moment of contemplation, the thought she had already held in her heart became even stronger.

That's not right...

Although she didn't often see Li Xiao and Xiao Tang together.

But the atmosphere just now...

No matter how you look at it, Li Xiao doesn't seem like he doesn't like Xiao Tang at all!

Unless he really is a scumbag?

But even if he wanted to play around, considering her and Li Beijue's face, he wouldn't be stupid enough to choose Xiao Tang as the target to "play around" with, would he?

"Xiao Tang, I really feel like he seems to like you..."

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"How is that possible..."

Cai Xiaotang was about to retort without thinking, but halfway through her sentence, she suddenly thought of the words that someone hadn't finished saying just a moment ago.

Cai Xiaotang blinked her eyes, and thinking of that person's abnormal emotions and unusually frequent "flirting" behavior over the past few days, she was suddenly somewhat swayed by Jiang Baobao.

Li Xiao has indeed been strange lately...

If Baobao hadn't suddenly come looking for her just now, what he hadn't finished saying... was what?

I li...

Do I like you?
