Chapter 978: It's Only Fair If You Kiss Back

Li Xiao was clearly questioning her, yet his tone sounded inexplicably seductive.

"You..." Cai Xiaotang was left speechless by his words, staring blankly at the air in front of her for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Only the speed of her heartbeat grew faster and faster.

She tilted her head slightly, avoiding their cheeks which were nearly touching, afraid he would notice the heat on her face.

But it was already impossible to hide.

There was no extra space behind her for her to retreat.

The atmosphere suddenly turned quiet again.

Li Xiao could clearly feel her nervousness, and in turn, his own heartbeat could not help but become somewhat uncontrollable.

"Knowing I like you, yet still launching a surprise attack like that, isn't that going too far?"

He spoke again, his voice already stained with a hoarseness laced with desire.

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously wanted to defend herself, but her heart was already frantically racing because of his first sentence.

Like...

Li Xiao said he liked her...

The next second—a familiar and pleasant scent suddenly pressed close!

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened instantly; just by feeling, she could confirm that Li Xiao's lips were already within reach.

Just a little bit further, and she could...

"Cai Xiaotang."

Li Xiao suddenly called her name in a low voice.

"Since we are getting a divorce, shouldn't we be even? So... shouldn't I return that moment from just now?"

He asked in a low voice.

"How can you be so shameless!"

Cai Xiaotang retorted instantly.

But as soon as the words left her lips—her lips were firmly blocked by a touch of warmth!

It was the most familiar sensation and scent.

It made one subconsciously unable to help but sink into it.

No...

Must push him away...

All the reason in Cai Xiaotang's mind was frantically struggling.

Just at this moment—"Snap!"

The entire elevator suddenly lit up!

The sudden brightness caught both of them off guard.

Immediately after—the elevator also began to descend slowly!

Before Cai Xiaotang's eyes were Li Xiao's bottomless black pupils; noticing that the other party didn't care at all and seemed to have a tendency to deepen this kiss, she instantly regained her senses and shoved him away hard!

"You..."

Cai Xiaotang glared at him, her face already flushed beyond recognition.

Seeing that the elevator was about to reach the first floor, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"We're even now!!!"

Li Xiao had thought she would lose her temper, but he didn't expect to get this sentence instead; he was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh and nod. Just as he was about to speak, the elevator door opened.

Outside the door, many staff members were already standing there. As soon as they saw the two of them, they immediately bowed and apologized: "We are truly sorry for the scare you two experienced; the elevator just now..."

"It's fine!"

Cai Xiaotang only wanted to leave this place quickly; she threw out these three words and immediately strode away without looking back.

"This..."

The person in the lead was stunned for a moment and hurriedly looked at Li Xiao, who was walking out of the elevator unhurriedly.

Li Xiao also waved his hand, signaling that the other party didn't need to say anything more.

Then he went to chase after Cai Xiaotang, who had already disappeared from sight.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw her standing at the entrance, constantly fanning her cheeks with her hands.

By the surrounding lights, he could still see her ears, which were faintly flushed.

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for an instant, and a dark light flashed rapidly across the bottom of his eyes.

That touch just now was far from enough.

He wanted more.

And...

Someone was saying she wanted to leave him, but her reaction when facing him was the most honest.

When exactly would the right time come for him to be able to "pry open" her mouth?

Li Xiao thought to himself, then walked toward Cai Xiaotang.

The expression on his face had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened just now, and he said very naturally: "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately turned her head to look at him, her eyes wide, seemingly with a hint of accusation.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiao deliberately pretended to be confused.

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

Cai Xiaotang held her breath in her chest.

Even she herself could not explain exactly why she felt so annoyed.

If one were to say Li Xiao was deliberately trying to take advantage of her, or that it was some little trick to make her stay...

Now he was acting as if nothing had happened at all.

It was as if she were the only one who cared.

It would be best if no one mentioned it!

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang immediately put on an indifferent expression and said very nonchalantly, "It's fine, let's go, let's head back."

After speaking, she immediately turned around without looking back and walked in the direction of the parking lot.

Hmph!

It was just lips touching lips!

Anyway, she liked Li Xiao, so she wasn't losing anything by kissing him!

A few days later—the two of them did some more things mentioned in the travel guide that couples could do, and neither of them mentioned those short ten-plus minutes in the elevator again.

It was as if it had truly never happened at all.

But the time for the New Year was drawing closer and closer.

Cai Xiaotang looked at the calendar every night before going to sleep, and in her heart, she felt increasingly reluctant to let go.

Early morning—she woke up from her dream early and had no more sleepiness.

Then she subconsciously glanced at the calendar again, calculating the time in her heart.

At most, three or four more days...

Li Xiao should be going back, right?

She had originally planned to take advantage of this time to have some peace and quiet by herself.

But she hadn't expected that not only did she fail to drive a certain person out of her mind, but they had also created some memories together that would be enough for her to slowly savor for the rest of her life.

She really didn't know if God was helping her or messing with her...

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this—a message suddenly popped up on her phone screen from a contact saved as "Old Scoundrel," containing only three short words.

【Are you awake?】

Cai Xiaotang's expression changed slightly, and she casually typed out a few words.

【Awake, what's the plan for today?】

For the past few days, the places they went to were all decided by Li Xiao, and Cai Xiaotang had long since gotten used to it.

Just as she was thinking this, a message from the other side was sent over again.

【If you're awake, then get ready. We'll set off in half an hour. Today I'm taking you to do something big.】

"Something big?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at the message with a puzzled expression.

She pondered for two seconds, and knowing she wouldn't get an answer by asking, she simply got up and washed up obediently.

Half an hour later, the two set off on time.

Cai Xiaotang had originally thought he had arranged for something from the travel guide, like an activity where the two of them would DIY a cake together.

But she hadn't expected the car to drive further and further away, coming straight to the suburbs!

"What are you doing coming out here?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at the car window, somewhat puzzled, while carefully trying to recall.

Yet she couldn't think of any tourist attractions in this vicinity.

Then, just as her voice trailed off, she saw a building that looked like a castle in the distance, with a little bit of its spire exposed.

She froze for a moment, then quickly took out her phone and opened the map.

And sure enough, she saw the map showing that not far ahead was a huge amusement park!

The option that had been deliberately ignored for the past two days suddenly surfaced in her mind.

Legend has it that if you kiss at the very top of the Ferris wheel.

The two people will be together for a lifetime.

So... what did Li Xiao come here for?

He couldn't possibly actually believe that rumor meant to fool children, could he?
