Chapter 824: She Doesn't Understand Him Well Enough

Cai Xiaotang's movements paused, and she turned around subconsciously, immediately seeing Luo Wanwan walking in her direction.

"Why did you come down?"

She asked casually.

Immediately after, she heard Luo Wanwan reply: "I came down to pour a glass of water to drink, you..."

"I'm here to make some honey water."

As Cai Xiaotang said this, she hurriedly poured the honey she had been holding for a long time into the cup.

Yet she heard Luo Wanwan ask again: "Is this for Li Xiao?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang's mood suddenly became somewhat subtle, but she still replied: "Yes, he seems to have drunk a bit too much tonight..."

As she spoke, she poured hot water into the cup.

The fragrance of the melting honey instantly wafted out.

Cai Xiaotang, however, just wanted to leave this place quickly.

Ever since she learned of Luo Wanwan's identity, she had not yet sorted out her feelings, let alone being alone with her.

Cai Xiaotang stirred the honey in the cup absentmindedly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Luo Wanwan arrive at her side step by step.

Then, looking at the cup in her hand, she seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

Cai Xiaotang asked subconsciously.

The expression on Luo Wanwan's face became even more subtle, appearing somewhat conflicted.

After another two seconds, she said in a low voice: "If it's for Li Xiao... I remember he doesn't like sweet things; usually after drinking alcohol, he drinks some hangover tea..."

Cai Xiaotang's movements stiffened.

The small spoon in her hand clinked against the side of the cup with a crisp "clatter."

Li Xiao doesn't like sweet things?

How come she had never heard him say that...

Every time she drank milk tea, she saw him snatching it quite enthusiastically!

Then this cup of water...

Cai Xiaotang looked at the honey water in her hand, suddenly not knowing whether she should take it up or just pour it out.

Luo Wanwan's gaze swept over Cai Xiaotang calmly, flashing a hint of disdain.

At the same time, she was also somewhat puzzled.

How could Cai Xiaotang not understand Li Xiao at all?

She had thought that these little habits she had noted down before would not come in handy.

But now it seemed, she didn't even know such a small thing?

And yet, the two of them actually got married?

There was a thoughtful look in Luo Wanwan's eyes, but not daring to stay silent for too long, she hurriedly put on that usual expression as if she had said the wrong thing, and was just about to speak—when she heard a slight noise coming from the direction of the stairs.

Luo Wanwan instantly pricked up her ears, but did not turn her head, listening to the footsteps behind her approaching bit by bit.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was a bit dazed, seemingly not having heard the sound.

Then she suddenly raised her hand, intending to pour out the honey water she had just mixed.

The next second—"Xiao Tang?"

A familiar voice rang out.

Cai Xiaotang's movements stiffened, and she hurriedly turned her head, seeing Li Xiao walking over as expected.

Then she heard him ask in confusion: "Isn't the water for me? Why are you pouring it out?"

Once these words were out, the expressions of both Cai Xiaotang and Luo Wanwan were somewhat subtle.

Cai Xiaotang paused for two seconds, then explained: "It's not good to drink sweet things late at night, I wanted to pour you some tea instead."

Her tone was calm, seemingly not having any emotional reaction to what Luo Wanwan had just said.

Li Xiao, however, was stunned, his gaze subconsciously looking at Luo Wanwan, and he instantly understood what was going on.

The next second—he suddenly stepped forward two paces and took the cup from Cai Xiaotang's hand.

"Just finished drinking, having something sweet is not bad either."

As Li Xiao said this, he took a gulp directly from the cup.

Seeing this, Cai Xiaotang was stunned; her originally low mood instantly recovered, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up a little.

"Don't you not like sweet things?"

She couldn't help but ask Li Xiao.

Just as her voice fell, she heard Luo Wanwan suddenly apologize: "I'm sorry, I spoke too much, I forgot that everyone's habits change..."

Luo Wanwan's expression was somewhat annoyed.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly waved her hands repeatedly: "Ah... it's okay, no, I mean, you were also kind to tell me..."

As she spoke, that awkward feeling in her heart floated up again.

Seeing Cai Xiaotang's embarrassment, Li Xiao hurriedly smoothed things over: "It's very late, Wanwan, go upstairs and rest."

The expression on Luo Wanwan's face stiffened for a moment, then she agreed: "Mm, then I'll go back first, you two get some rest early too."

After saying this, she turned and left, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

Cai Xiaotang's smiling face also instantly fell, and she snatched the cup of honey water from Li Xiao's hand.

"What are you doing? I only took one sip..."

Li Xiao said as he snatched it back again.

Cai Xiaotang said gloomily, "If you don't want to drink it, then don't. There is tea in the cabinet..."

"Who said I don't want to drink it?"

Li Xiao took another big gulp as he spoke, then smiled and comforted her, "I didn't use to like sweet things, but as for now... it's all because I learned it from you! Sweet isn't bad either!"

His words instantly rescued Cai Xiaotang's mood.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but laugh, though she still felt a bit sour inside, and suddenly asked, "Am I... not understanding you enough?"

"Of course not."

Li Xiao denied it immediately, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but amusedly pinch her cheek, continuing, "It's that no matter what you do, I accept it; as long as... you don't put poison in the food you give me, I will accept everything as it comes."

"Pfft..."

Cai Xiaotang was amused into laughing out loud, but she deliberately retorted, "Then what if I did?"

"Would you have the heart to?"

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, narrowed his eyes as he leaned in close, and took the opportunity to press against her lips.

The man's lips were moist and still carried a hint of honey's sweet taste.

Cai Xiaotang offered almost no resistance and let him "bully" her to his heart's content.

After a long while—Li Xiao finally pulled away, dotingly wiping away a trace of moisture from the corner of her lips.

"Don't think so much. You only need to know that it is you I like; nothing else is important. We have plenty of time to get along slowly in the future. At the very least, haven't you already... understood me from head to toe by now?"

He deliberately drew out his voice on the words "head to toe."

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this, and immediately couldn't help but roll her eyes hard.

This guy Li Xiao!

He really can't hide his rogue nature for more than three sentences!

Although she was complaining, Cai Xiaotang's mood had already mostly recovered.

Li Xiao curled his lips, patting her shoulder rhythmically, silently offering comfort.

He had finally discovered...

That someone was not truly heartless.

Rather, she was used to handling everything by herself, which was why she appeared so outgoing and tough.

She was unwilling to easily show her vulnerable side to others.

However, he liked it very much.

No matter what she was like, he liked her.

On the other side, upstairs—as soon as Luo Wanwan returned to her room, she threw everything on the bed onto the floor!

Not daring to make too much noise, she could only use this method to vent.

Just thinking about the doting look in Li Xiao's eyes when he looked at Cai Xiaotang earlier made her want to go mad!

Li Xiao has changed...

His heart has changed.

His habits have changed too.

No.

She does not accept this.

She wants the Li Xiao from before!

The Li Xiao who belonged to her!
