ng Renshu looked at her desperately, making Li Caiyi sigh in exasperation. If she couldn't avoid it, she should just use this chance as fully as possible. She definitely had to find out more about the mystery behind ng Renshu's frequent dreams.
"Fine, then. But promise this will be the last ti?"
"I can't promise anything. If my theory was proven true, then I might need you more than any kind of consultation or dicine."
That line was supposed to sound romantic, but ng Renshu said it like it was a matter-of-fact, so it annoyed Li Caiyi instead. Anything that ca out of his mouth at this point was ingratiating to hear.
"Can you be less selfish? I'm not a tool you can use whenever it is convenient for you!"
Li Caiyi thought he would co back at her with another witty comnt, but ng Renshu had a gloomy look on his face, to her surprise. He lowered her head and dared not to et her eyes, like a child that caught red-handed doing sothing terrible.
'Now it feels like I'm bullying him. So unfair!' Li Caiyi cursed inwardly.
"It's not my intention to make you think that way. What I said before about not wanting to fight with you is true. However, I'm also anxious almost all the ti whenever I think about you. That's why when I could finally sleep peacefully that one ti, I was thrilled."
Li Caiyi: "...."
This conversation wouldn't end until one of them gave in. Li Caiyi massaged her nose bridge before saying impatiently.
"I get it. You can stop repeating the sa sentence now. Let's just get this over with."
ng Renshu brightened imdiately upon receiving her approval. "Then can you let sleep for about one hour? You can wake up if you feel I have slept for a long ti."
"But what about Auntie? Wouldn't she feel more suspicious if we spend too much ti here?" Li Caiyi asked hesitantly.
ng Renshu quickly pulled out his phone and typed sothing. After a few seconds, he received a reply.
"My sister would buy us so ti, so we won't be disturbed for a while. And don't worry about my mother. I already said I'm going to take care of it, didn't I? You only need to sit beside without doing anything."
"Xiaochun agreed so easily? That's a surprise," Li Caiyi said in disbelief. Considering how much she hated how the twins kept wandering around ng Renshu, that kid seed to give in too quickly.
"I made so agreent with her. I hope I won't regret this…." ng Renshu sighed in resignation before patting the spot beside him. "But forget about that for now. Co sit beside ."
Li Caiyi eyed him suspiciously and scooted closer, bit by bit. ng Renshu laughed, seeing how vigilant she was.
"You don't have to be so scared. I won't suddenly attack you or anything."
"No, I can't believe you anymore."
"Well, that's too bad," He smirked mischievously. "I was thinking of borrowing your lap to be my pillow. Would you allow ?"
Li Caiyi imdiately alerted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Don't you dare co any closer!"
ng Renshu laughed heartily at that. He never knew Li Caiyi could be so cute when she was teased. She was easily flustered and couldn't hide her emotion well, so watching her expression change was interesting. It made him want to tease her more.
ng Renshu raised his hand and asked her again, "Then can we at least hold hands?"
"No," Li Caiyi replied decisively.
"But if I can't touch you, it won't really feel like you are beside , then." ng Renshu didn't wait for her to reply and clasp Li Caiyi's hand. "Please cooperate with this ti? You are also curious about what will happen, right?"
It felt like a crab had just bitten her hand from how tightly he clasped her hand, unwilling to let go. After giving it so thought, she finally relented because she also wanted to know what kind of developnt would transpire from here. Besides, they were just holding hands.
"I swear you are such a cunning person." Li Caiyi grumbled under her breath.
ng Renshu chuckled. "People often told that. Then, I'll sleep first, okay?"
He closed his eyes while rubbing a circle on her hand using his thumb. Li Caiyi's hand felt ticklish at the sensation, but the movent quickly ca to a halt along with ng Renshu's steadier breath.
He slept while leaning back against the couch sloppily. It didn't look that comfortable. However, he probably didn't have much choice because she kept refusing to sit too close to him.
Li Caiyi's mind wandered as she looked down at his sleeping face. She didn't know what kind of dream he was having right now, but it seed he slept pretty well.
"Why are you doing this to ? I don't understand you at all. Why do you keep making feel like this even after everything that happened?" Li Caiyi whispered softly.
In the end, because she couldn't stand looking at it again, she gently cradled his head and guided his body so he could lie down on the couch. She still wouldn't put his head on her lap, no matter what, so she took the couch cushion and laid his head on it instead. It was pretty hard to do all this while ensuring their hand wouldn't be disconnected, but Li Caiyi sohow managed to do it.
She sat right beside his head, just in ti when ng Renshu suddenly stirred in his sleep while letting out a soft hum. He pulled her hand closer to his chest like a child trying to keep sothing precious close to his heart. The sight softened her heart slightly.
Everything would be so much easier if ng Renshu was completely an evil person from the beginning. She always had complicated feelings in her heart whenever she faced him, just like she was troubled about what kind of attitude she should take to face her mother.
It was tough to hate soone.
