Chapter 39: Sweet Scent of Peach It hurts me if you do this.

When Li Xi finished washing up and entered the room, Tang Ruining was watching a video on his phone.

Screams and cheers came from the phone, followed by a familiar prelude, a live version of his solo song.

"What are you looking at?" Li Wei asked.

Tang Ruining lit an aromatherapy diffuser that was newly bought by Li Xi. It had a very sweet peach scent, rich but not greasy, making the whole room smell good. Li Xi climbed onto the bed and leaned over to take a look. Tang Ruining was watching a fan-shot video. The angle was from the front row inside the venue. The equipment looked very good and the video was very clear.

"I like this part the most." Tang Ruining said, staring at the screen.

In the video, Li Xi was sitting on a chair with his legs apart and waving. The collar of his shirt was stretched out with the ups and downs of his movements. He had a thin golden chain on his neck, which went deep into his chest from the middle of his collar, and it shone faintly under the light, sticking to his skin. His movements from chest to waist are soft yet powerful, and are both professional and entertaining.

The screams from the audience at this part made the background sound inaudible. After reading it once, Tang Ruining dragged the progress bar back and read it again.

"...Let's stop looking at it." Li Xi suggested from the side.

"There's more to come." This was obviously not the first time Tang Ruining had watched this video. "I like the last part too."

Later, they danced with the dancers. Li Xi recalled that at that time, he didn't know Tang Ruining's feelings. Tang Ruining showed dissatisfaction with this part and asked curiously: "Don't you dislike... me dancing with the dancers?"

“I didn’t like it before, but then I found this part so beautiful.”

He loosely put his arms around the dancer from behind, and gently stroked her face with his hands wrapped in black leather gloves. Then he turned around and faced her, put his index finger on his lips and made a "hush" gesture, which was added by Li Xi himself later to match the lyrics of "You Can't Hear Me Say Love".

The backup dancer pushed him away, and he took a few steps back and finished singing the lyrics. The two of them worked together very well. This is the most recent performance. Li Xi is no longer as immature as when she first danced to this song. Her performance is just right, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the song and understand the emotions it expresses. The performance is very complete.

"What's beautiful?" Li Wei asked him after they finished watching it together.

"You are beautiful. You sing beautifully and dance beautifully." Tang Ruining praised without complimenting, "You are beautiful in every way."

He praised her seriously, so Li Xi thanked her seriously as well: "Well...thank you."

"There's another one." Tang Ruining exited the video, skillfully opened his collection, and found another video with a high number of reposts.

This is another scene. The angle is from the side of the stands. Although the faces of the people cannot be captured in the picture, the body movements are clearly captured.

Halfway through the song, the microphone receiver on Li Xi's lower back loosened and fell off when he turned around. The wire was hanging behind him, hindering his dancing.

But he continued his actions. The staff pushed the chair behind him. As soon as he sat down, he reached to his lower back, fumbled for the receiver and put it back into his waist bag. But he did not miss any of the necessary movements. Looking from the side, his wave lines were more obvious, and they were very smooth waves. He put one hand behind his back and hurried to put the receiver back into the correct position, but it did not affect his completion of the dance at all. His body and hands seemed to be on two different bodies, each busy with their own things without disturbing each other.

This was a small incident during the performance. Li Xi was a little panicked at the time, but the previous dance was rather fragmented and she did not find the right opportunity to plug the receiver back in. As soon as he was able to sit down, he hurried to deal with it. In fact, his hands moved in a panic and he almost pushed it into the mouth, but he tried his best not to show it, and he looked very calm to the audience.

The reposts and comments were full of amazement, and Li Xi felt embarrassed after taking a look at them. "It's not that exaggerated. I was still quite panicked," he said.

"How many have you collected..." Li Xi's eyes widened when he saw Tang Ruining return to the favorites and the endless fan-shot videos.

"I collected everything I could find." Tang Ruining said as a matter of course, "When you ignore me, I just look at the fan photos, they are all very good."

"When did I ignore you?" This is so unfair.

"When you refused to sleep with me, saying you didn't want to affect the performance."

Li Xi opened his mouth and closed it again, not knowing what to say in rebuttal.

Tang Ruining scrolled down a few more pages and found Li Wei's solo performance in the first tour.

"Actually, I really like the first game. You didn't seem to be so comfortable with it yet." Tang Ruining clicked on the video. This fan was filming the whole thing in front of the big screen, so he could see almost all of his facial expressions.

"Very cute." Tang Ruining said.

"..." Li Xi returned to his seat, "Then you can watch."

Tang Ruining turned over and pressed down the person who had just found a comfortable position for him. He did not turn off the video in his mobile phone and placed it next to the pillow. Li Xi's magnetic voice was broadcast from the phone, while the person on the bed in reality could only make a few sticky sounds due to the kiss.

Tang Ruining kissed his neck, reached his hand into his clothes and held it directly.

"Wait a moment……"

Tang Ruining covered his mouth and kissed him even more deeply than before.

Almost unable to breathe, after being released, Li Xi turned her head to the side and breathed hard, the sweet scent of peach rushing into her nostrils.

Tang Ruining took something from the drawer and prepared himself. His movements were a little hasty, which frightened Li Xi. She stopped his hand and said, "Slow down."

Tang Ruining didn't listen to him, but just stared at Li Wei with a frown on his face. After the video finished playing, it jumped to the next one, which was a fan's editing, a collection of many sexy shots, and the background music was very seductive. Tang Ruining took a glance.

In the video, beads of sweat are dripping down Li Xi's raised neck, and the darker filter makes her lips look very red and her eye makeup more gorgeous. The close-up shot stops on his slightly open mouth, and you can see a little bit of the tip of his tongue. The BGM is also very brazenly matched with amplified breathing sounds.

Tang Ruining bit his cheek, and reached out his free hand to Li Xi's lips, parted his lower lip, inserted two fingers into it, and pinched his tongue.

Li Xi felt uncomfortable with his fingers poking her. She wanted to bite but couldn't. She could only tighten her mouth to prevent him from going in further.

Tang Ruining's eyes darkened and he withdrew his hand.

"Wait a minute Ruining...Tang Ruining!"

Tang Ruining seemed to have to vent his accumulated emotions in an extreme way. Li Xi bit her lip and wanted to indulge him, but...

"It will hurt me too if you do this." After Li Xi said this, Tang Ruining seemed to have finally regained his sanity.

Tang Ruining leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Baby." He then repeated his name over and over again.

Li Xi tilted her head and held his lips, holding his chin, and kissed him slowly.

The night was quiet and they slept soundly in the faint sweet scent of peaches.
