Chapter 77: Only Smiling at You

You really deserve a beating.

Yu Ke patted Bai Xu on the head again; she had just told him not to smile at her, yet he smiled at her again.

Fine, fine, Miss, can't I refrain from laughing? Hit me again and I'll be knocked silly.

Don't smile at me, and I won't hit you.

May I ask why I can't smile at you?

Bai Xu asked cautiously.

Just can't!

The waiter had just brought the drink, and as soon as Yu Ke finished speaking, she downed a cup in one gulp.

Bai Xu was so frightened he didn't dare speak; fortunately he had quietly told the waiter that the drinks weren't strong.

Otherwise, seeing Yu Ke's state, she'd drink too much, and if she got drunk she might act like a fool, foolishly clinging to his leg.

Thinking back to the first time he met Yu Ke, Bai Xu recalled how she had drunk herself into that state, wailing and calling Liuli's name, and inexplicably he felt like laughing.

But afraid Yu Ke would see him smile, he could only keep his head down.

Are you stupid?

Yu Ke looked at him as if he were mentally challenged.

Can't you speak properly?

Bai Xu retorted, thinking that Yu Ke, at least being a girl, could speak a bit more gently.

I am speaking properly.

After speaking, Yu Ke picked up another cup and drank it dry.

Drink a little less, you're a girl.

What's wrong with being a girl? Can't a girl drink?

I didn't say girls can't drink; I'm saying you should drink less.

Bai Xu truly doubted Yu Ke's comprehension ability.

Isn't this enough for me to drink? Waiter, bring more! This isn't enough!

Yu Ke shouted.

Bai Xu shook his head helplessly; he couldn't dissuade her, so let her drink if she wants—after all, he'll stay by her side.

Okay, miss.

The waiter replied; Bai Xu glanced at him and asked for drinks with low alcohol content.

The waiter understood and nodded.

Feeling down?

Bai Xu asked.

I'm in a good mood; I drink when I'm happy, and I think of coming to find you when I'm happy.

Why would being happy make you want to come find me?

Or are you suggesting I'm unhappy and came to find you?

Miss Su, this is a bar; usually people who come here are feeling down and drink, I've never heard of someone coming to a bar to drink because they're happy.

While Bai Xu was speaking, Yu Ke had already drunk another cup.

I'm one of those people, okay? Besides, I didn't come to your bar; I came to find you—do you not understand?

It's obvious Yu Ke's head is already a bit fuzzy; otherwise she wouldn't say something so blunt.

You came to find me? Really?

Bai Xu heard her words and happily laughed.

I already said… don't smile at me…

Yu Ke was a bit drunk, although the alcohol content wasn't high, she had drunk several cups, and she hadn't drunk much before.

The first time she drank alcohol was because of Liuli; her tolerance is definitely low.

I want to smile at you.

Seeing Yu Ke's tipsy appearance, Bai Xu found her extremely cute.

He smiled even more happily, looking at Yu Ke with a face full of indulgent smile as she spoke.

You want to smile at me, right? That's what you said, so from now on you can only smile at me…

Why?

No reason…

Yu Ke didn't forget to pick up the alcohol and keep drinking; she felt the drink was actually quite tasty, and once she started she got addicted and couldn't stop.

You can only smile at me alone, okay?

Yu Ke leaned against Bai Xu's shoulder and said.

Okay, then from now on I'll only smile at you.

Bai Xu picked her up and said.

What are you doing holding me? You rascal!

Yu Ke glared at Bai Xu and said.

The waiter couldn't help laughing when he heard Yu Ke call Bai Xu a rascal; it was the first time he'd heard someone call their boss a rascal.

Many girls throw themselves at the boss and he doesn't want them, yet he still gets called a rascal.

So I'm a rascal—what of it?

Bai Xu said with a teasing tone.

Yu Ke's face was already flushed from drinking; now Bai Xu's teasing made it even redder.

Put me down, I haven't had enough to drink...

We haven't had enough; let's go back to the room and keep drinking.

She's already drunk; how could you let her drink more?

If we don't take her away, she'll probably drink herself into oblivion again.

Put me... down... I can still drink...

Yu Ke said, dazed, feeling safe in his arms, leaning against his chest, she almost wanted to sleep.

Like this, can you still drink?

Bai Xu carried Yu Ke back to his room; he has a private bedroom at the bar, and usually sleeps there.

I can still drink, what are you gonna do?

Bai Xu put Yu Ke on the bed; she instantly sobered up, instinctively sitting up with her arms crossed.

What can I do?

Don't even think about messing with me!

Who wants to mess with you? Don't overthink it.

Then that's fine.

Although Yu Ke said that, she still felt a bit disappointed inside.

What a great opportunity, and he doesn't cherish it; it seems he has no interest in her at all.

I'll go get you a glass of water; if you can't drink, then don't drink next time.

Bai Xu said.

Who says I can't drink? I'm not even drunk yet!

Not drunk, but close enough.

How could we possibly be drunk!

Yu Ke felt unjustified and angry.

When you're alone, don't drink unless I'm there; got it?

Bai Xu handed her the water and said.

No matter how Yu Ke heard it, she found that sentence strange.

I heard you.

She didn't understand what it meant, but anyway, agreeing was fine.

Drink the water. Bai Xu, hearing her reply, stroked her head and smiled indulgently.

Didn't I tell you not to laugh at me? Believe me, I'll hit you again.

But just now you clearly said I could only laugh at you, and besides, would you really bear to hit me?

Bai Xu said, feeling wronged.

Yu Ke thought, she seemed to have said in a daze that only he could smile at her.

How could I not bear to hit him?

After Bai Xu said that, Yu Ke really couldn't bring herself to hit him.

Then go ahead and hit me.

I don't want to!

As Yu Ke spoke, she only felt a headache coming on; maybe the alcohol was still a bit too much, and now her head started to hurt.

If your head hurts, just sleep a bit; you'll be fine after a nap.

Bai Xu gently stroked her head.

Okay.

Yu Ke agreed, her eyes unable to leave Bai Xu's face; he was so close, his handsome face right before her.

Go to sleep.

Bai Xu gave another indulgent smile.

I've told you not to laugh at me, it's annoying! Every time you smile my heart races, it's really strange, I just can't help feeling excited…

Before Yu Ke could finish, she felt the warmth of his lips.

His face was less than a centimeter from hers, and her face instantly turned red as an apple.

After Bai Xu kissed her, he saw her face flushed.

You…

Yu Ke, embarrassed, didn't know what to say.

What's wrong?

You kissed me, you have to take responsibility!

I will take responsibility; if not, will you be my girlfriend?

Bai Xu asked, his gaze never leaving Yu Ke.

I don't want to be your girlfriend.

Yu Ke said, she just wanted to act reserved a little longer, then she'd agree to him; she always felt it was too easy.

Bai Xu kissed her lips again.

How about this?

He asked back?

Also not possible…

Bai Xu continued kissing her.

"Like this?"

Yu Ke still shook her head; she just wanted to tease him, to get him to kiss her a few more times.

"Then how should it be?"

Bai Xu said as he kissed her neck, giving it a light bite.

"Like this."

Yu Ke said while shoving Bai Xu onto the bed, kissing him hard.

A smile curled at his lips; apparently she liked it that way.

Then he wasn't polite either; he had originally wanted to be gentler with her.

Bai Xu directly tore off her clothes with one hand, kissing Yu Ke's body.

She only felt that wherever he kissed, a wave of heat spread, scorching hot.

Originally she had the initiative, so how did it become him?

She didn't want to be passive, so she pressed him beneath her again.

She kissed his forehead, eyes, nose, and finally his thin, attractive lips.

She then took off his clothes, touching his abs, unable to hide her happiness.

She was happy about how great his physique was—this was exactly her type.

He was handsome, with abs.

Taking advantage of the alcohol's effect, she hadn't even thought about what being together with him would be like.

Now her mind was filled with wanting to completely possess him, and he felt the same.

She had also decided that she must have him, no matter what; even if they couldn't be together, this path was her own choice.

Whether good or bad, she accepted it.

He could no longer withstand her teasing; his whole body pressed against hers, their skins tightly touching, and he only wanted to merge with her.

They remained like that, entwined on the bed; no matter how noisy the outside world, they could only feel each other.

Afterwards, Yu Ke felt her head hurt, her body hurt, everywhere ached.

The headache was from drinking too much alcohol, yet she found it strange that she had drunk so much and still wasn't drunk.

When she was with him, she could only feel pain, her tears even hurt as they flowed.

She cried while enduring it.

Bai Xu felt his heart ache to death.

"Does your head still hurt?"

Bai Xu asked while kissing the corner of her eye, where her tears still lingered.

"Bai Xu, this is my first time..."

Hearing her say it was her first time, Bai Xu was beyond shocked—she had dated so many guys you couldn't count them on two hands; how could this be her first time?!

He wanted to believe it, yet he dared not believe.

"Is this your first time?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Otherwise? What did you think?"

"I..."

"Do you think I'm not a good girl, that's why I'm with you?"

"No..."

"Just look at you—it's obvious!"

Yu Ke said dissatisfiedly, wanting to push him away.

Although they hadn't known each other long, liking someone isn't a matter of time.

Liking someone can be quick or slow; some fall in love at first sight, while others know at first sight they don't like them.

She fell for Bai Xu quickly, and Bai Xu felt the same about her.

They both felt fortunate to have met each other.
