When Shao Yan had finished her shower, Li Xiqing was already in the bedroom. He was taking out his stuffs from a duffle bag, and hung them inside her closet.
Li Xiqing heard the bathroom door was opened and her fragrance soon filled up the bedroom. "Are you done?" he said without turning his head.
Shao Yan walked out and sat on the bed, "Yes, you can go and shower now. Let me put them up for you."
His hands were in the middle of hanging the clothes, he paused, and finally turned to look at her.
Shao Yan had just finished showering. Her snowy skin, was now pink and dewy like a baby. Her soft hair, hung lushly on her shoulder. Li Xiqing put down the clothes in his hand, and walked over to her. He stood next to her, he covered her cheek with his palm; happy to find her supple skin was warm to his touch, "Wait for me, I will shower now."
Shao Yan smiled into his eyes, and leaned her cheek into his palm, "En."
She lifted her hand to cover his, "Li Xiqing, do you want to know a secret?"
Li Xiqing was staring deeply at her. She was looking up at him while still sitting on the bed. She had put on the white pajamas that he saw her with the first time.
White silk camisole with lace accent on the cleavage area, white silk short that fell right in the middle of her thigh.
From his angle, he could see her beautiful mounds. Shao Yan did not put on any bra, so Li Xiqing could also see the shapes of her nipples which tantalized all of his senses. He couldn't stop staring at her and he could feel that his body gradually responded.
Shao Yan grabbed his other hand and squeezed it lightly, "I am now addicted to sleep on the same bed as you" her voice fell softly into his heart, tickled him like a butterfly.
Shao Yan saw his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his gaze darkened. She pretended that she did not see it, and continued, "I couldn't sleep alone anymore..."
She used her index finger to lightly graze his inner palm, "I need your warmth; with your arms holding around me."
Li Xiqing was trying so hard to hold himself, "Yan Yan, you're seducing me right now" Shao Yan could hear his deep hoarse voice was suppressed. He caressed her hair, down to her cheek and to her chin. His thumb slowly grazed her lower lip.
Shao Yan cheekily stuck out her tongue, and touched her tip of tongue to his thumb. And then she lightly bit it. He squinted his eyes, and his gaze darkened even more. She laughed and pushed him away, "Go.. Go shower now."
Li Xiqing lifted the corner of his mouth and pinched her cheek softly. Shao Yan just kept grinning at him. He then walked to the bathroom while shaking his head helplessly.
So cheeky. Let's see how he punished her in the future!
.....
With Qi Ling was not around, Shao Yan and Li Xiqing took turns on staying over. His clothes at her place was growing more and more. Her clothes in his closet was getting full as well. Shao Yan decided that she should also took control of her lives occasionally. So after a week of Li Xiqing driving her everywhere, she decided to drive next week and be the one who sent Li Xiqing to the office instead.
She told him her idea over breakfast.
Li Xiqing was in a middle of scooping porridge into his bowl, and then he paused and put the spoon down, "Hubby.. You want to send me to the office?"
Shao Yan burst out giggles, and quickly resume her cool. She lightly coughed, "En, wifey. Let your mighty hubby, me, send you to the office." and she put on a show of patting her own chest like some rogue barbarian.
Li Xiqing pursed his lips and smiled, "Are you sure? You have to remember to pick me up again at night." he sat down and started to eat, "Or else, other women may kidnap me away."
Shao Yan gave him side eyes, "Sure. That's what you want, isn't it. Look at you, aren't you happy now, having so many fans chasing you around"
(٥↼_↼)
He pursed his lips, and slightly lowered his head and hid his smile behind his spoon, "Don't slander me. My heart, my body and my soul belongs to you alone, Your Highness"
Shao Yan gaped at him. He was getting more poetic lately. She squinted her eyes, and pouted at him, "Since when did you learn all these mushy words?" her face gradually turned red; she was not sure if it was from embarrassment or from anger.
.....
Li Xiqing got up and went to the kitchen sink to put down his bowl. He went to the fridge and pour out soymilk for her. Suddenly he turned to her, "Oh! Don't make any plans for Saturday." he said while placing her mug on the table. Shao Yan also just finished eating her porridge and got up to put her bowl in the kitchen sink. She then started to wash both bowls.
She looked up at him, and slightly tilted her head to the side, and asked "Why?"
Li Xiqing sat down in the living room, patiently waiting for her running about in his kitchen. "I want to bring you somewhere. Old Zhong told me some good places to hunt pictures."
He winked at her and gave her a very gentle smile. "It's a date"
Shao Yan smiled back at him, but a moment later, she was confused. She scrunched her eyebrows while looking back at him, "Old Zhong? Who is Old Zhong?"
Li Xiqing was about to get a TV remote from the coffee table, but he paused, and then looked back at her. He paid a close attention to her facial expression, while slowly said, "..... Old Zhong... The old man who owns the Eternity Frame camera shop" he saw her face showed a surprise look, and then she froze.
"You showed me that note before, so I went there and bought your new camera from that shop as well."
Shao Yan blinked and slowly returned to her senses, "Oh... That shop... I see." she paused, "That old man..."
And then Li Xiqing saw her lost in her thoughts while biting her lower lip.
!! CRASH !!
Li Xiqing abruptly stood up and hurried over to her side. "Are you hurt?"
Shao Yan accidentally dropped the bowl on the floor, "Uh.. My hands were slippery." She tried to look up to him yet all she could do is stare at the ceramic pieces in sadness; guilt slowly engulfed her heart as she gripped the napkin in her hands, "I... I'm sorry, Let me..."
"Just stay put. Don't move" Before she finished her sentences, Li Xiqing already cut her off.
He looked at her in silence before he turned his head and walked to the storage. He took out a broom to sweep the ceramic pieces while Shao Yan just stood still at the side; watching him.
