Chapter 87
Blue veins bulged in the corner of his forehead and he fought back the impulse to throw the woman out the window . He peeled her feet off him with much difficulty, then moved her back to her original position .
An Xiaxia was such a sound sleeper that all his maneuvering didn’t wake her up . Smacking her lips, she even smiled . God knew what sweet dream she was having .
Sheng Yize stared at her for a moment, then raised his hand and rubbed her hair attentively .
It was unbelievably soft .
On an October night in this unknown mountain, stars twinkled in the sky and the moonlight was as cool as flowing water .
He looked at that delicate face and asked himself repeatedly .
An Xiaxia, are you the one I’m looking for?
Because he realized, he was beginning to panic and act flustered in front of her .
What would he do if the answer was no?
He was mawkish for three seconds before An Xiaxia interrupted him again . Sheng Yize was astonished by her posture yet again after she twisted her body at an impossible angle .
He looked closely at An Xiaxia’s exceptional posture and twitched his mouth, utterly speechless .
This dumb woman… how did she even survive to this day sleeping like this?
He patiently repositioned An Xiaxia again .
This time, An Xiaxia groaned a little, and Sheng Yize paused for fear of waking her up .
However, that brief pause was enough for An Xiaxia to turn around and hold onto him . She even wrapped her legs around his waist, apparently taking him for some sort of hugging pillow . She then slipped back to her sound sleep .
Sheng Yize kept his poker face on . Looking down, he saw that her collar was hanging open . He could even make out the fair skin above her chest under the moonlight .
He heaved a sigh and rearranged her clothes, then was about to push her away . However, his hands stopped halfway .
Well, it was just a hug .
A certain fellow tried to fool himself with those words .
–
The night passed without incident .
Early next morning, An Xiaxia and Sheng Yize changed back into their own clothes and were ready to head for the nearest town in Uncle Zhou’s vehicle .
An Xiaxia rushed out happily, but was dumbfounded the moment she saw what Uncle Zhou was “driving . ”
What happened to the car she had imagined… well, all right… even if it wasn’t a car, she could have made do with a tractor!
But standing in front of them was a donkey cart!
The donkey snorted, then emptied its bowels right under An Xiaxia’s and Sheng Yize’s gazes…
An Xiaxia swung around with teary eyes . “Sheng Yize, I don’t want to ride this…”
Sheng Yize was speechless .
However, the other option was a walk of nearly ten kilometers to get to town…
The two exchanged looks and put on determined faces, then got on the donkey cart in dismay .
It was a bumpy ride and An Xiaxia was constantly thrown off her seat .
When she stumbled again, a pair of strong arms steadied her . Sheng Yize said coldly, “Hold onto me . You’re making me dizzy swaying around . ”
An Xiaxia was almost moved to tears . “Sheng Yize, you’re such a good person! I won’t insult you any more! XOXO!”
Sheng Yize frowned and squinted . “What did you just say?”
An Xiaxia covered her mouth right away!
OMG, she almost let it slip again!
She gave him a silly smile . “No, nothing . You heard wrong . ”
Sheng Yize kept his gaze on her . “You better give me a satisfactory explanation . ”
An Xiaxia nibbled on her fingers, looking like a wronged puppy . She didn’t know what to do .
Uncle Zhou’s voice came to her rescue . “We’re here . You two can take a bus from here!”
An Xiaxia rose to her feet right away . She thanked Uncle Zhou and promptly fled the scene .
Sheng Yize snorted, then went after her with large strides .
I’d like to see how far those short legs can take you!
