Marriage of a Sickly Villain and a Fortune Hunter - Chap 43
Seeing someone perform a “medical miracle” on the spot, for a moment, the scene was simply shocking and outrageous.
Xia Xingchi’s face was full of tears that hadn’t been wiped clean. After yelling, his mood went up and down like a roller coaster, with mixed feelings.
First, he was almost scared to death by that bastard Li Chengyuan, and then he was so overcome that he almost sat down on the ground and wailed.
Immediately afterwards, he was so annoyed by his deceitful act of sitting up on his deathbed that he wanted to grind his teeth and bite him to death.
But in the end, he was left with the ecstasy of regaining what had been lost. As long as he could live, that was better than anything.
Xia Xingchi gritted his teeth and pushed Li Chengyuan down on the hospital bed firmly but gently.
Although this person was not about to die, his weakness was real, and his body couldn’t bear any amount of strength. With his weak and delicate body, it only took a light push to make him fall directly on the bed.
Xia Xingchi didn’t expect that he would fall after a light push. He immediately froze, and his heart softened for a moment, but then he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, pretending to punch him.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengyuan started putting on an act again, and as soon as he fell down, he frowned with pain and let out a muffled groan of agony.
Seeing the cold sweat on his forehead, Xia Xingchi was taken aback. Not to mention wanting to settle the score, now he couldn’t even bear to scold him anymore.
“You, you stop pretending, ah.” Xia Xingchi only endured for a moment, and then couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Where is it uncomfortable?”
Li Chengyuan didn’t speak, but wore that familiar staring expression again. After staring for a long time, he said in a low voice:
“When do you want to go get the certificate?”
Xia Xingchi: “……?”
This scheming big cat was absolutely doing this on purpose, relying on the fact that he was now an invalid who needed to be cared for physically and mentally.
He had temporarily forgotten to care about what had happened earlier, but now he thought it was a hateful thing.
He was tricked into shedding so many tears, and he agreed to get a marriage certificate.
The most infuriating thing was that he was still lured into such a proactive, long, and passionate kiss.
Xia Xingchi couldn’t help but blush at the thought. The warmth seemed to still linger on his lips.
He didn’t dare look at Li Chengyuan again, and said angrily: “Who wants to get a certificate with you!” Then he quickly slipped out of the room as if fleeing.
Looking at his panicked back, Li Chengyuan couldn’t help but smile faintly.
. . . . . .
The little hedgehog, who had rolled himself into a ball in embarrassment, hid for a while before the doctor pushed the stretcher in.
Xia Xingchi pricked up his ears at the sound. Luckily, he had made preparations by curling up on the sofa far away, rather than on the hospital bed.
He turned his head to face the back of the couch, pretending he didn’t exist, like if he couldn’t see Li Chengyuan, then Li Chengyuan couldn’t see him either.
The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed and regretful he felt. He was obsessing over why he had kissed a certain person just now, and couldn’t face him at all.
At this time, he heard a nurse say softly: “Mr. Li, please undress and turn around. The dressing on your back wound needs to be changed.”
Xia Xingchi was taken aback at once, and then remembered that his back was injured. It was probably not serious, but no wonder his face turned pale from the pain just now when he was pushed.
……Wait, undress?
Then Li Chengyuan would be seen and touched by others!
“Wait a minute!”
Xia Xingchi stopped pretending to be asleep and jumped up quickly, rushing forward to talk it over: “Can you let me change his dressings?”
The nurse wore a hesitant expression. After all, the wound on Li Chengyuan’s back was large, and the steps to change the dressing were complicated, so ordinary people might not be able to do it well.
“He…..he doesn’t like being looked at, or touched.”
Xia Xingchi bit the bullet and lied. Even he himself couldn’t explain why he had such a strange possessive desire toward his big cat.
As soon as he spoke, Li Chengyuan looked over with a little playfulness in his eyes, wearing an expression that was a smile but not a smile.
Xia Xingchi was doubly embarrassed by this look, and quickly picked up a pillow to cover the other party’s face.
The nurse was very reasonable, and could see the sweetness between the young lovers at a glance.
She immediately laughed, but then pretended to be serious and said: “This is not an easy task, so the family member will have to work hard.”
Saying this, she picked up all kinds of bottles and jars and carefully taught Xia Xingchi how to apply the medicine. This was obviously much more relaxed than her tense and serious attitude just now —
By covering Li Chengyuan’s face, the two of them could perform the deception of “if you can’t see him, he isn’t there,” and the nurse was not so nervous and afraid of the big boss.
Xia Xingchi was versatile and had some experience with many professions, so he learned quickly.
After the nurse left, he immediately lifted the pillow and said fiercely: “Beauty, hurry up and take off your clothes!”
After speaking, he remembered that Li Chengyuan was injured and couldn’t move easily, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and pretended to be ill-mannered, going forward to remove his clothing.
Li Chengyuan pursed his lips and looked at Xia Xingchi helplessly, finally raising his hand to gently stroke his head and touch his eyes: “Why didn’t you sleep well?”
Xia Xingchi shrank back from the cold touch, blinked, and realized that he was like a rabbit with red eyes.
“It’s fine, I’ll just catch up on sleep…..so how dare you make me worry more!”
A certain person simply did everything he could to obtain a marriage certificate. Who would believe that this national-level male god was so anxious to marry?
Xia Xingchi sat by the bed and looked at Li Chengyuan’s back after he took off the nightgown.
His skin was so cold and pale that it was almost morbid, and his back, which had always been beautiful, was now covered in shocking and ferocious bruises. The bloody wounds were quite frightening.
Recalling that all of these injuries had been blocked for him, Xia Xingchi’s heart trembled, and at the same time, there was a surge of warmth that made his eyes sore.
He suddenly wanted to hug Li Chengyuan, and stick to him in the simplest and most direct way like a small animal to express his affection. He also wanted to kiss him again.
Xia Xingchi took a deep breath, shook his head, and warned himself that the most important thing was to apply the medicine. However, he stared at the horrifying wounds for a long time without doing anything, and could only continue to prepare himself mentally.
“It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt too much,” Li Chengyuan said.
He didn’t really want Xia Xingchi to change his dressings just now. After all, he knew this little hedgehog’s nature. He would probably feel distressed when he saw the wounds, and perhaps be quick to shed tears.
Xia Xingchi gritted his teeth. His hands were shaking a little, so he could only use the lightest and slowest force to carefully apply the medicine to Li Chengyuan.
Although his big cat said that it didn’t hurt, that was apparently just to comfort him.
The moment the debridement medicine was sprinkled on, Xia Xingchi watched Li Chengyuan’s back automatically tense up. He was obviously suffering extreme pain, but he endured it without saying a word.
Xia Xingchi was so distressed that he was at a loss for what to do, so he lightly touched Li Chengyuan’s lower back to comfort him, hoping that the side effects of the medicine would pass soon.
Unexpectedly, because Li Chengyuan’s whole body was tense, the originally smooth and beautiful muscle lines on his waist became even more distinct. They not only looked good, but also felt very good under his hand.
Xia Xingchi’s heart moved, and he couldn’t help but want to touch it again, so he stretched out his hand and stroked it from top to bottom without thinking.
After touching it, he realized something was wrong. His strong heartache was mixed with throbbing ambiguity, which almost made him forget where to look and put his hands.
Li Chengyuan pursed his lips, clearly also at a loss. While feeling gut-wrenching pain, he was also tickled and warmed by this restless hand.
But he didn’t put a halt to Xia Xingchi’s behavior. Instead, he pretended not to notice and let him do whatever he wanted.
Xia Xingchi still thought that his little tricks were hidden from others, and he was glad that Li Chengyuan had his back turned to him so that he couldn’t see his blushing face.
With great difficulty, he tried his best to change the dressings as his heart beat like a drum. It happened that the bodyguard at the door knocked and then came in to deliver food.
He jumped up hastily and finally found an excuse to get rid of this strange atmosphere, so that he would no longer be attracted by the big villain’s beauty and be tempted to do small tricks:
“Okay! You get dressed. I’m so hungry, I’ll go and see what looks good first.”
Aunt Li’s cooking was enough to fill several large lunch boxes. After hearing about what happened to the two of them yesterday, she was terrified. Knowing that she couldn’t do anything else to help, she could only try her best to cook some delicious food.
The process of opening a lunch box was like opening a surprise gift. Xia Xingchi opened his favorite pork rib noodles and tomato beef brisket soup in the first box.
There were also various stir-fried side dishes and black chicken soup to nourish the body. The whole ward was full of fragrances for a while.
Li Chengyuan sat up, and while doing up his buttons, he noticed that a certain little hedgehog was reaching out to pick up a roast chicken drumstick and stuffing it into his mouth.
Just as he wanted to tell him to eat slowly so that he wouldn’t choke, he suddenly discovered that Xia Xingchi was using his left hand.
And his right hand had been hanging motionless at his side – it seemed that he had also used his left hand when he opened the lunch box.
“Xia Xingchi, what happened to your hand?” Li Chengyuan immediately frowned. “Come here and show me.”
Xia Xingchi held the chicken leg in his mouth and showed a confused expression when he heard this. After a while, he remembered the injury on his hand and shook his head, saying: “It’s okay, it’s just a small cut.”
Li Chengyuan ordered: “Come here.”
Xia Xingchi had no choice but to wipe his greasy left hand with a napkin, then step forward and spread the palm of his right hand, saying nonchalantly: “See, it will heal up in a couple of days.”
There was a distinct wound on the palm of his hand. Although it was not long, it was deep, and looked very tragic against his white skin.
Fortunately, Xia Xingchi had always healed fast. After the doctor sprayed him with a healing treatment last night, he recovered even faster.
Although the flesh looked a little awful, he estimated that it would not be long before he recovered.
Li Chengyuan’s face darkened at the sight, his expression suddenly full of fury, but the hand holding Xia Xingchi’s was very gentle.
“This is called a small wound?” Li Chengyuan asked in a heavy voice. “How did you get hurt yesterday?”
He thought he had protected this person well, but he didn’t expect that Xia Xingchi had not come out unscathed. Li Shengrui must pay with interest for this.
“It’s really okay, don’t be like this. I’m not so delicate.”
Xia Xingchi was a little embarrassed to be stared at by him with such a serious attitude. Anyone who didn’t know would think it was a huge wound.
The little part-time worker had suffered a lot in recent years. There were so many ups and downs, but it didn’t matter back then. In comparison, Li Chengyuan’s back injury was really something to be worried about.
When Li Chengyuan saw the hideous wound and his indifferent attitude, his heart trembled with pain —
He didn’t need to ask in order to know how much this little liar had suffered outside during these years, and what kind of life he had lived.
He took a deep breath: “Go and wrap it with a bandage first.”
“No, I deliberately didn’t let them put a plaster on me. My right hand was wrapped up like a bear’s paw, but I couldn’t even eat, which was inconvenient.”
Li Chengyuan didn’t listen to him, and directly rang the bell to call the nurse. Then medicine was applied again and it was tightly wrapped.
Xia Xingchi: “……”
Xia Xingchi held up his tightly wrapped paw and sat at the dining table mournfully, staring at the sumptuous meal, especially the pork rib noodles that had to be eaten with chopsticks.
Just as he was about to continue sadly eating chicken legs to satisfy his hunger, he heard a certain instigator say:
“Bring it here, I’ll feed you.”
After those words were spoken, Xia Xingchi immediately donned a suspicious expression – Sir, why do I suddenly feel that you did this on purpose?
Because the bed in the VIP room was so wide, even the moveable bedside table was extra large.
He simply put all the food on the table and stared at Li Chengyuan with wide eyes, obviously not believing that this person would really feed him.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengyuan kept his word. He first picked up a mouthful of steaming scrambled eggs, carefully blew it cool, and then said gently: “Come, open your mouth.”
“Ah—?”
Xia Xingchi’s tone rose, and he just wanted to express his doubts, but he was directly fed.
This was rather ambiguous behavior, not to mention that the two of them were sharing a pair of chopsticks. The strange atmosphere from when he applied medicine for Li Chengyuan had only just subsided when it returned once more.
“Ai, that,” Xia Xingchi said in embarrassment, “You used the wrong chopsticks…..”
Li Chengyuan showed that smile that was not a smile, and said lightly: “We’ve kissed more than once.”
Not talking about it was fine, but once the words were out, the atmosphere became even stranger. Xia Xingchi lowered his head in embarrassment to stare affectionately at a piece of pork rib, and didn’t dare to look at Li Chengyuan again.
Halfway through the meal, the nurse came back to the ward due to her worry that Xia Xingchi had not learned how to apply the medicine.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw the tableau of one person feeding another, full of rainbow bubbles. As if she had been slapped in the face with dog food, she gave a sugar-knocking[1] smile, gave a quick “excuse me,” and strode away.
— There was more material to knock sugar with her good sisters.
This left Xia Xingchi in even more embarrassment, and he had no choice but to glare at Li Chengyuan fiercely.
Fortunately, this didn’t affect the little foodie’s appetite, and he even ate a bigger bowl than usual, all fed to him by his family’s big cat.
. . . . . .
The Xia family was currently living in a world of ice and fire.
Xia Pingjian was practically drooling while he sat in the living room on the phone, looking elated:
“The birthday cake must be big enough! Yes, en, then buy the most expensive one with 12 layers, and remember to write the name Xingchi!”
“No, this hotel is not up to standards. If Mr. Li also comes to participate, it would be a slight to him.”
He had always had a loud voice, but now it practically resounded to the heavens, passing into Xia Yu’s room as if piercing through the clouds.
Xia Yu gritted his teeth and covered his ears, not wanting to think about the fact that his own birthday had been celebrated over the years without that bastard Xia Xingchi getting a share.
In a short period of time, Xia Yu had completely transformed. His own crazy fans might not be able to recognize him upon seeing him again.
Because of his long-term lack of sleep, he had deep, dark circles around bloodshot eyes that were full of resentment and frightened madness.
After these days of unresolved torturous fear, Xia Yu was already on the verge of collapse, and his weak and delicate nerves were easily stirred up.
To him, Xia Pingjian’s voice on the phone was torture, like a blunt knife plunging into his head or fingernails scraping down a chalkboard.
Xia Yu couldn’t bear it anymore, and finally strode out of the room, howling hysterically:
“Dad, did you forget that it’s my birthday too? Don’t you always celebrate my birthday?!”
“Xia Xingchi is a bastard from a mountain valley! How could you —”
Slap! Before he could finish speaking, Xia Pingjian had already slapped Xia Yu’s face viciously!
Xia Yu’s ears buzzed from the blow. His face was full of astonishment and resentment.
Xia Pingjian had never beaten him like this before, but Xia Xingchi had often been beaten and scolded like this……how could everything be reversed now?!
Xia Pingjian had already hung up the phone, and said in a shaking voice: “It’s best to clarify your identity. Xingchi is my own son, who do you think you are!”
“For what reason!”
Xia Yu couldn’t care less about the burning pain in his cheek, yelling: “It obviously wasn’t like this before! Is it because he’s popular now and he’s more valuable than me?”
In the end, before Xia Pingjian could answer, Xia Yu began to laugh like crazy —
From the very beginning, Xia Pingjian shouldn’t have been counted on. This person could treat his own son harshly because his adopted son was excellent, but now he could naturally change his face because that adopted son had nothing.
Xia Yu gritted his teeth and strode wildly back to his room.
Now it was all a wasted effort, and everything was taken from him by that bastard who never should have appeared.
He opened Weibo and saw that there was still a lot of condemnation for him online, but there were fewer and fewer speaking up for him.
Nobody answered his calls to his management company. Apparently, those bastards didn’t dare to provoke Li Chengyuan, so they completely regarded him as an outcast.
Xia Yu gritted his teeth. He couldn’t care less about that anymore. He tapped his phone screen wildly, typing out a long article of resentment and injustice.
Perhaps it was because he believed that he was firmly in the right, but in the process of writing, he inexplicably had a strange confidence that he would be sympathized with and supported by everyone.
Within it, the content that Xia Yu resented and was most unable to reconcile himself with was repeated many times unknowingly:
“Obviously I have been the young master of the Xia family since I was born, this is clearly my life!”
“Xia Xingchi never should have existed from the very beginning. Why condemn me, it’s obvious that he is the thief, it’s his appearance that stole my life!”
“Without him, Li Chengyuan would definitely marry me, this is my marriage ah!”
. . . . . .
Xia Yu was already crazy, and the moment this long microblog was posted, it truly caused another uproar.
Although there were still various sentences with typos that had not been edited, it was enough to make everyone able to grasp his meaning and shatter their three views even more:
[I don’t understand, was Xia Yu’s account hacked? Can you fucking see yourself? Are you even speaking a human language?]
[Shocking, why didn’t he continue to pretend to be a lovely and pitiful white lotus today? Is it now <> or <>?]
[He occupied Xingchi’s life for more than twenty years in vain, and let Xingchi live so bitterly, eating bran and swallowing vegetables. How dare he say that he is the one who was robbed of his life?]
[Damn, I’m really gonna vomit. This is crazy, right? When the thief became addicted, did he really think that all of this belonged to him?]
[@Xia Yu, thank you for showing your true face. We condemned you because of your illegitimate status? It’s obviously because of the bad things you’ve done, OK?]
[If you do many unrighteous deeds, you will dig your own grave. Now you blame fate and your identity. Why don’t you see how many immoral things you’ve done? This is your own fault!]
[Wasn’t it the sentence about marrying Li Chengyuan that made everyone laugh the most? Let’s just say that he really married a disgusting thing like Xia Yu, maybe President Li would have divorced him?]
[A typical hand of good cards poorly played. @Beijing Public Security, so who committed the poisoning? I suspect that the real identity of that person is an ugly-hearted green tea. Squatting online for a notification]
. . . . . .
During these years, Xia Yu was always like a god. Everyone trusted and liked him unconditionally. Even if he was vicious and despicable, he could always be forgiven.
Maybe it had been too long since he lived this kind of life, because he never imagined that he would be condemned so thoroughly at this moment, with everyone regarding him as garbage and a street rat.
As soon as the long Weibo post went up, which he had thought would win him sympathy and fight for “justice,” even his few support groups collectively put on all-black avatars and announced that they were no longer his fans.
[We thought you would recognize your mistakes and correct them, but we didn’t expect that you still don’t think you’re wrong. Being your fan is the most disgusting thing for me. Vomit]
[Xiao Yu, I originally thought that no matter what others said, I would always support you……damn it, no more being mushy, I’m going to delete all traces of being the fan of this shriveled calf[2]]
[Is this what you really look like? Was the cute, innocent young master from before just a public persona?]
[I’m really going to vomit, don’t you think his previous character design was imitating Xia Xingchi? It’s so nauseating, ba. You robbed another person of their life and even imitated their character?]
Seeing the myriad taunts and abuse, Xia Yu screamed frantically:
“Impossible! This is all fake! Fake!”
“These must be the water armies that Xia Xingchi bought! I’m clearly the victim, why is no one supporting me?!”
“I’m going to kill them……why isn’t Li Chengyuan dead?! It was almost all mine, ah!”
While screaming and shouting, he tore at his hair, looking nothing at all like a “popular idol.”
It took an unknown amount of time before Xia Yu finally calmed down, crying and laughing.
He muttered to himself: “Do you think Xia Xingchi is something good? I want everyone to see his nude photos…..”
This was the blackmail he had prepared long ago.
At that time, “Xia Xingchi” had just come out of the mountain valley. He was out of tune with the rich and powerful, and under Xia Pingjian’s harsh treatment, he wasn’t even given a penny.
In such an extravagant circle, the people around him were wearing expensive clothes. He cringed, seeing a pair of jeans on the floor that were washed white and even shrunken, and his feelings of inferiority instantly soared.
Seeing this, Xia Yu deliberately poked at him from various angles under the banner of “it’s for your own good,” to aggravate his inferiority complex.
Then he “accidentally” left the contact information of a usury lender and told him it was a normal thing, then taught him how to gamble.
For a sensitive person with low self-esteem, who was eager for success and wanted to be like everyone else, this trap was too easy.
“Xia Xingchi” took out usury loans to buy various high-end clothing in order to cover up his inferiority complex and satisfy his gradually twisted vanity, falling deeper and deeper into the trap of gambling.
Desperate and in need of money, he could only earn more by taking indecent photos —
Of course, this method obviously wouldn’t have been attempted without instructions from Xia Yu.
Xia Yu thought of this, and as if grasping at a new straw, he gritted his teeth and thought that if he was going to die, he would drag the other person down with him.
Let everyone see Xia Xingchi’s unspeakable appearance. Maybe Li Chengyuan would also cancel the marriage rather than lose face.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn’t help but laugh again, as if he had seen Xia Xingchi’s disastrous ruin.
While laughing, he called the loan sharks to ask them to release the photos.
Unexpectedly, after more than a dozen calls, none of them could be reached. Either their phones were off or there was no answer.
The vicious smile on Xia Yu’s face gradually froze. There was obviously something wrong here.
Someone finally answered the phone, but it was a woman’s voice.
After the other party heard his intentions, she immediately cursed:
“My husband was taken to jail because of you, you bitch! It was because of those photos that he was targeted for revenge!”
In the end, before Xia Yu could speak, she hung up the phone.
Xia Yu was already stirred up again by the screaming and cursing, and shouted at the phone that had already been hung up:
“But it’s not my fault?! This must be Li Chengyuan’s doing……there’s no one else it could be but him!”
“You useless idiots deserve it! Usury loans are illegal in the first place, stupid trash, you got what was coming to you!”
Xia Yu was hysterically losing his mind like a dog mindlessly biting itself, when he suddenly heard an unceremonious knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, the door was directly opened —
The cold-faced policeman stood at the door and said sternly: “Xia Yu, come with us now.”
Xia Yu froze for a moment. This scene was the source of all his nightmares, waking him up countless times.
He stared at them with wide bloodshot eyes, full of horror and disbelief.
After so many days, as if waiting for the moment he finally relaxed and thought he had escaped the catastrophe, the guillotine still fell viciously from above his head.
. . . . . .
In the dead of night, Xia Xingchi was lying on the bed with his cell phone in hand, eating melons with great relish, when he saw a hot search topic suddenly appear out of nowhere:
#Police arrest Xia Yu at his home#
[Whoa, so he was really behind the poisoning?]
[God damn it! He almost killed Boss Li, this is murder, ah! He’d better rot in prison!]
[Why is it “arrested?” You looked at the picture without reading the article, he was only taken in for questioning. You’re just spreading rumors!]
[Upstairs, are you okay? Why does Xia Yu still have fans, ah, is there no one in the entertainment industry worthy of fans like you?]
[Aiya, after all, we have a large population, so it’s not surprising that there are several diverse species]
[In any case, since the police are specifically questioning him, they probably have some evidence. Just wait for the good news that he’s in jail!]
. . . . . .
Xia Xingchi was swiping his phone, watching the bloody wind that came on the heels of evil, and was naturally in a good mood.
The more he looked at it, the more he couldn’t help but want to laugh. This big green tea spirit wasn’t stupid, right? He had thought he was a clever and insidious person, but today’s showmanship was outrageous.
On the contrary, it deeply confirmed the iron law that “Those whom God wants to destroy, he drives mad.” Had this person done so many evil things that he lost his mind?
Unable to rejoice in others’ misfortunes and at the same time in disbelief, Xia Xingchi couldn’t help but turn his head to poke at Li Chengyuan and ask: “Ai, you said Xia Yu is really screwed, right? You’re sure there’s no room for him to maneuver?”
This was the smooth-sailing protagonist shou with the attributes of a heartthrob. This was really unbelievable, and obviously a dramatic reversal of the original book’s ending.
Such a big and powerful protagonist with a gold finger and a protagonist’s halo couldn’t handle his defeat, but from this, one thing could be confirmed – and it was that man could conquer nature, and destiny could be changed.
Could it be that the fate of the big villain Li Chengyuan had also been successfully changed?
Unexpectedly, Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and then asked in a low voice:
“Why do you feel that what happened to him now is unexpected – or should I say, what was originally supposed to happen to him?”
Xia Xingchi was instantly dumbfounded. He naturally understood Li Chengyuan’s meaning.
He was so frightened that his heart missed half a beat. Did this peerlessly keen big cat already know something?
But such a mysterious and fantastical thing as transmigrating couldn’t be spoken of. Xia Xingchi said falteringly:
“What was originally supposed to happen? I, I just think Xia Yu was so successful before……I didn’t expect his end to come so soon, ah……”
After thinking about it, he repeated an old trick and preemptively and loudly took the lead to bluff with bravado: “Otherwise, what do you think it is! What nonsense are you thinking!”
Contrary to expectations, Li Chengyuan didn’t buy it this time. Xia Xingchi was swiping his phone with his back facing him, and suddenly felt a heat on his back —
He was directly hugged from behind into Li Chengyuan’s arms.
Li Chengyuan’s voice was deep and low, revealing his strong aura as he said coldly and oppressively:
“If you won’t answer this question well, let’s try another one.”
“For example, how did you know I might die? Another example……how did you appear in my bathtub out of nowhere?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Xingchi was frightened out of his wits. His hands trembled and he almost dropped his phone on the ground.
He automatically wanted to jump up and run away, but he was held tightly by Li Chengyuan and couldn’t move.
— His suspicions are so pointed, has he really guessed it?
— What’s even more frightening is that he actually saw it with his own eyes, and knew all along that I appeared out of thin air?!
Xia Xingchi was nearly trembling. After hesitating for a moment, he tried to feign ignorance:
“What are you saying……I, I’m going to sleep, don’t talk to me! Otherwise, I’ll wake up very angry and hit you!”
Unexpectedly, at this time, he suddenly felt something warm covering the back of his neck. Li Chengyuan branded him with a kiss like a dragonfly touching water.
The back of Xia Xingchi’s neck was also a sensitive spot. He was immediately stunned by the kiss, and his hands and feet trembled weakly as he said: “What are you doing!”
Unmoved, Li Chengyuan continued his ruthless “interrogation”:
“Or another question, which you didn’t answer today — do you like me?”
Xia Xingchi gritted his teeth, suddenly feeling as if he had been tricked. This was the question that Li Chengyuan really wanted to ask.
Warm breath swept over the sensitive nape of his neck, getting closer and closer, and the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them became more and more intense.
Xia Xingchi’s heart was beating wildly, and the thorns all over his body were standing up vigilantly. He had to suspect that if he didn’t answer, Li Chengyuan would continue to kiss him again.
