Chapter 767: Kissing You Until You Fall Asleep

"Shh, go to sleep, otherwise... I don't mind kissing you until you fall asleep."

Li Xiao leaned in close to her ear and deliberately kissed her earlobe.

Cai Xiaotang instantly froze, not daring to move, though the little person in her heart had already started running in circles on the spot.

This guy!!!

With "skills" this practiced, it's a real pity he isn't a professional escort!

Half an hour later—"Wait, that's not right!"

Cai Xiaotang, who had been lying on the bed with her eyes closed for a long time, suddenly sat up abruptly and looked at the person beside her with a look of "disgust."

"When did I agree to let you sleep here? Wasn't it settled that you would sleep on the sofa tonight!"

Cai Xiaotang looked at Li Xiao and ground her back teeth.

This guy is truly too cunning!

He tries to take advantage of her at the slightest lapse in attention, and now he even wants to occupy her bed!

Li Xiao, who had been holding her with one arm and propping his head up with the other, raised his eyes slightly at these words and arched a brow, his expression seeming to say: Is there a problem?

Cai Xiaotang choked, suddenly feeling as if she were about to have a heart attack...

Although she really didn't want to admit it...

She just had no resistance against this guy!

If this continued, the initiative would sooner or later be entirely in his hands!

She had to start learning to be immune to him from now on!

Cai Xiaotang closed her eyes, deliberately avoiding looking at Li Xiao, and said at a rapid pace: "Go back to your sofa, I'm going to sleep..."

Sure enough, with nothing to see, her thoughts became much calmer.

But immediately after, her wrist was grabbed again!

"You..."

Before Cai Xiaotang could finish a single word, she fell back into Li Xiao's embrace.

"Stop tossing and turning, go to sleep."

This time, Li Xiao did not deliberately "tease" her, but instead tucked the quilt in for her.

Then... he conveniently wrapped himself in it too.

Cai Xiaotang was so angry her cheeks puffed up, and she stared at him with wide eyes.

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

"I won't tease you anymore. I'll go sleep on the sofa once I see you're asleep, is that okay?"

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang still wanted to say something.

But Li Xiao blocked her words first.

With his own mouth.

A touch, then away.

"You stole another kiss!"

Cai Xiaotang immediately covered her mouth with both hands, a flush spreading across her face again.

"Then why aren't you hurrying to sleep?"

Li Xiao pulled her hand down and placed it on his chest, his gaze slowly drifting to her lips.

"Or... are you deliberately staying awake because you want me to kiss you a few more times?"

"In your dreams!"

Cai Xiaotang couldn't win the argument and couldn't escape, so she simply turned around, back to Li Xiao.

But the heat behind her did not diminish in the slightest; it remained pressed against her back, making her feel inexplicably very safe.

Cai Xiaotang closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth finally couldn't help but curl into a sweet smile.

Leave once he sees her asleep?

She didn't believe it at all!

However...

Letting him stay the night on her bed didn't seem like such a bad thing...

On the other side, inside the racetrack—Liu Qingze sat alone by the side of the track, looking at the distant course, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Not long after, several young people around his age walked over, arms draped over each other's shoulders.

One of them lightly punched him on the shoulder.

"Why is our champion for the night acting so deep here? What? Not happy even after taking first place?"

Liu Qingze didn't speak; he just casually picked up a glass bottle nearby and took a gulp.

The boy who had just spoken to him spoke again: "Tsk... you're not a middle schooler anymore, why are you drinking soda? Come on, let's go get a drink..."

As the group spoke, they were about to drag Liu Qingze away.

"I'm not going..."

Liu Qingze waved them off, but before he could finish his sentence, he heard his phone chime.

He hurriedly opened it, but the moment the screen lit up, he froze for a second.

Cai Xiaotang's reply from two hours ago appeared clearly before his eyes.

Liu Qingze's expression shifted slightly; he quickly closed the chat box and tapped on the message.

He then just glanced once and said in a low voice, "I have something to take care of at home, I'm heading back first."

"Tch... what a bore, you're way too busy since you came back this time..."

The sound of a few people complaining rose up.

Liu Qingze, however, had already walked far away.

He got on his motorcycle and quickly disappeared into the air.

Half an hour later, he appeared at the entrance of a hospital ward.

"Young Master..."

The housekeeper had been waiting outside the door for a long time; seeing him arrive, he hurriedly stood up.

"The master has already woken up. Sigh... this period of time, always making you run back and forth, and the eldest young lady is too busy on her end, unable to get away..."

"It's fine."

Liu Qingze gave a response, pushed open the ward door, and walked inside.

"Dad."

He called out once and saw Liu Tengnian, who was leaning against the bedside, looking over at him.

"Qingze, how was work today?"

Liu Tengnian smiled. Perhaps because of the illness, he looked a bit less sharp.

He often fell into a deep sleep during this period, usually only waking up for a few hours at night and in the early morning, and he was very concerned about Liu Qingze's situation, so every time he woke up, the housekeeper would notify Liu Qingze in time.

No matter where he was, Liu Qingze would rush over immediately to keep Liu Tengnian company for a while and report on his work situation for the day.

After talking simply for a while, a look of fatigue appeared on Liu Tengnian's face, and his focus was also unable to concentrate.

"Dad, you should rest first. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Liu Qingze dared not delay his rest, hurriedly helped him lie down, and only left after seeing him close his eyes.

"Young Master..."

The housekeeper had been waiting outside the door the whole time; seeing him come out, he suddenly handed a file to him.

"This is the master's check-up report from the last few days. The attending Doctor said to let me pass it to the eldest young lady, but the eldest young lady has been too busy lately and hasn't had time to come over. It might be a bother for you to pass it on..."

"Alright, take good care of my dad. Call me anytime if anything happens."

Liu Qingze gave a response, took the file, and turned to leave.

After exiting the Hospital, he sat on the motorcycle without rushing to start it.

His heart felt stifled, as if a large stone had been stuffed inside.

It was as if he could have predicted from the very beginning whether the chances of a successful confession were high...

"Tch..."

He irritably put on his helmet and found Liu Xin'ai's phone number.

He called, but no one answered.

Liu Qingze frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right.

Liu Xin'ai did seem very busy these past few days.

The two of them had contacted each other by phone before, but she only said she was feeling unwell and couldn't go out, or that she was researching Liu Tengnian's condition with a medical professor.

After all, his sister was already married, so he couldn't disturb her too much, and thus he didn't ask further.

But today...

Liu Qingze looked at the documents in his hand, then looked at the time, and simply went straight to Qin Yiyan's villa.

One hour later—the motorcycle stopped with a flash of speed outside the villa gate.

Liu Qingze jumped off the bike and rang the villa's doorbell.

Immediately after—"Qingze? Why did you come suddenly?"

Qin Yiyan's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Liu Qingze turned around in surprise and saw him sitting in the car, dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

"Brother-in-law, I came to find my sister to drop off some things."

By the time he finished his reply, Qin Yiyan had already stepped out of the car.

"Go on in. Xin'ai shouldn't be resting yet; I'll go call her."

As Qin Yiyan spoke, he had already walked up to the second floor.

The hallway was completely quiet.

He casually loosened his tie and pushed open the bedroom door.
