Chapter 840: Only You in My Heart and Eyes

Cai Xiaotang was still somewhat unhappy, looking rather dejected.

Li Xiao also noticed she was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly pulled her into his arms and teased her on purpose.

"Although I am very happy to see you jealous for me, I still feel heartache when you are always so unhappy. You really don't need to overthink this time's matter. Although Wanwan will be going with us, I will arrange for her to be on the same floor as Lao Wu and the others regarding accommodation. It will be the same when we are out having fun; you can be with me or Jiang Baobao at any time. Didn't you two look forward to this skiing trip for a long time? So just be happy, don't think so much, hmm?"

Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment. Hearing him say this, her mood finally improved a little, and she nodded gently.

Yet she couldn't help but sigh.

The reason she truly minded Luo Wanwan...

Was probably because she had been unconsciously comparing herself to her lately.

And then miserably reached the conclusion of how could Li Xiao possibly like her.

That was why she felt insecure.

She worried that Luo Wanwan would get close to him and attract his gaze once again.

If such a time really came, she would definitely walk away gracefully, without any lingering attachment, and let them be a happy couple!

After all... they hadn't broken up voluntarily back then anyway.

But...

This didn't mean she wouldn't be sad.

Cai Xiaotang's brows were tightly furrowed, and she sank into her own world.

Immediately after, she felt a finger press against her brow.

"What are you overthinking by yourself again? Why not tell me about it?"

Li Xiao looked at her with a smile, knowing she definitely still had things left unsaid.

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, raised her eyes to meet Li Xiao's concerned gaze, and her heart suddenly felt a tingle.

She suddenly couldn't help but want to say her true thoughts.

"Li Xiao, why do you like me?"

She looked at the person in front of her earnestly, her eyes filled with some confusion.

"Hmm?"

Li Xiao hadn't expected her to suddenly ask this. Hearing this, he was stunned at first, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Want to hear me praise you?"

He deliberately winked at Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang did not reward him with an eye-roll as she usually did, but instead shook her head extremely seriously.

"No, I'm just curious..."

She paused for two seconds before continuing.

"I'm very curious... why did you fall for me after dating someone with a personality like Luo Wanwan? We are clearly completely different types. She is both gentle and quiet, which is simply the complete opposite of me. When you first met me, didn't you also think I was too noisy..."

"..."

Cai Xiaotang seemed to have suddenly opened the floodgates. Once one question was asked, she simply said everything that had been weighing on her heart, and a hint of unease appeared in her eyes.

After finishing, she waved her hand as if she didn't care: "Of course, I'm not being insecure, I just feel that the two of us are really very different, so..."

"So you feel a bit insecure, afraid that I am comparing you to her in my heart, and then discovering, 'Sigh... as expected, the ex-girlfriend is still better, I really regret getting married,' is that it?"

Li Xiao had long been unable to hold back the smile on his lips and took over her words.

Cai Xiaotang paused upon hearing this, finally couldn't help but glare at him, and stopped talking.

Li Xiao pulled her even tighter and lowered his head to plant a light kiss on her forehead.

"You..."

He drew out his tone and sighed.

Then he continued: "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? Actually, there is absolutely no need to worry about such things. About Wanwan and me... do you want to hear it?"

"Hmm? What do you want to say?"

Cai Xiaotang pricked up her ears instantly.

Li Xiao chuckled and remained silent for a moment.

Only then did he continue: "Although saying this to you now is somewhat suspicious of being a hindsight, but... actually, the time I spent dating Wanwan back then was not very long."

Cai Xiaotang's eyes brightened slightly upon hearing this, and she subconsciously pursed her lips.

Li Xiao continued: "Back then, it was Wanwan who took the initiative to pursue me. At that time, I hadn't dated, and I didn't have anyone I liked. Later, I agreed, firstly because Laoqi and the others were always making insinuations and hints, and plus..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence and chuckled.

"This might sound a bit like a jerk, but at that time, I really felt that my peers all seemed to have girlfriends, and some even started living a dissolute life early on, so I could also find a girlfriend to try it out. I just wanted to experience... the feeling of dating."

"Scumbag!!!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly snuggled into his arms and retorted!

Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this and lowered his head to pinch Cai Xiaotang's cheek.

"It was just dating, we didn't do anything, there's no need to use that word to describe me, right?"

"Didn't do anything?"

Cai Xiaotang was suddenly stunned, and immediately widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at him.

"Ahem..."

Li Xiao coughed lightly and then stammered: "Normal physical contact, there definitely was... but..."

He suddenly lowered his head, leaned into Cai Xiaotang's ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "But... those intimate things we've done, not even once."

His trailing tone rose slightly, inexplicably seductive.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned at first upon hearing this, then suddenly thought of something, and her cheeks flushed bright red!

Those things she and Li Xiao had done...

Cai Xiaotang blinked, and a scene could not help but form in her mind.

"Do you still feel insecure now?"

Li Xiao could not help but tease her, deliberately pulling the distance between the two of them even closer, and said with a suggestive tone, "If you still feel uneasy, why don't we..."

As he spoke, his fingertips deliberately gave a light pinch to her waist.

"Stop acting like a hooligan!"

Cai Xiaotang sprang up from his embrace almost instantly!

Li Xiao laughed and pulled her back in, and seeing that she had recovered, he became much more serious and spoke slowly.

"So... for all these years, I have never encountered anyone I liked; it was only when I accidentally bumped into a certain little pufferfish that I knew what it felt like to like someone. Do you understand now?"

Cai Xiaotang did not speak, but the light in her eyes as she looked at Li Xiao grew brighter bit by bit.

Li Xiao had never liked anyone, which meant... she was the first?

And he had never had anything happen with Luo Wanwan either...

Cai Xiaotang felt a bittersweet sensation in her heart, with bubbles constantly rising, and the bit of gloom from before finally vanished into thin air.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you understand or not?"

Seeing her just giggling, Li Xiao suddenly leaned in and brushed his lips against the corner of her mouth.

Cai Xiaotang stiffened slightly, and the next second, she simply closed her eyes and directly deepened the kiss.

Whether she understood or not, she would answer with action.

On the other side—Luo Wanwan was standing by the window.

With a smile on her lips, she picked up her phone and quickly dialed a number.

Very soon, the call was connected.

"It's me."

Luo Wanwan's lighthearted voice rang out, sounding as if she were in a good mood.

Then, not knowing what the other person said, she smiled and said, "They will go to the ski resort tomorrow and should be staying for a few days. I will follow along too. The opportunity... I have given it to you, so don't let me down."
