Chapter 132: How Much Do You Like Me?
In the middle of the night, a clap of thunder startled Bai Zhi awake as lightning flashed through the window and into the room.
It thundered.
Her first thought was that Lu Ye was still asleep in the yard.
She quickly got out of bed and opened the door, intending to call him.
As a result, when the door opened, Lu Ye was standing right in her doorway.
Seeing the girl open the door, he smiled faintly at her, "It's going to rain."
"Come in quickly."
Lu Ye hummed in agreement and followed her into the house.
Bai Zhi looked at him reproachfully, "If you don't open the door, are you just going to stand there like that?"
Lu Ye scratched his head and explained, "I was afraid of disturbing your rest."
"You're faking it, aren't you? Don't you know your own body's condition? Are you deliberately masochistic?"
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lu Ye raised an eyebrow and his gaze fell on the cramped little bed in the room.
"How about... we squeeze in?"
Bai Zhi shrugged. "Just squeeze them in, what else can we do?"
We can't really make him sit there all night.
When Bai Zhi was sleeping, she was already wearing cloth pants and a vest. Now, she yawned and calmly lay down.
She was already thin, and she curled up on the edge of the bed, leaving most of the space for Lu Ye.
land
Bai Zhi lay down gracefully, but when Lu Ye lay down, her body stiffened uncontrollably, and she remained tense and motionless.
A 1.2-meter bed is really too narrow.
Although the man was leaning against the edge of the bed, the two still inevitably had physical contact.
Especially the other person's breath, which was now spraying onto the back of her neck, made her heart beat faster uncontrollably.
The man seemed to sense her discomfort and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaobai, don't be nervous, I won't cross the line."
Bai Zhi moved to the side and closed her eyes, forcing herself to fall asleep.
After a while, the man's voice rang out again, "Little White, are you asleep?"
"She's asleep."
Lu Ye chuckled, "Then who's talking to me?"
As he spoke, he subtly moved closer to her side.
Bai Zhi instinctively stepped back, but the man stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around her waist.
Bai Zhi's body suddenly stiffened.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll fall."
He explained it this way, but his large hand still held her, showing no intention of letting go.
Bai Zhi didn't push him away.
She didn't resist, and the man became even bolder, pulling her slightly closer to him.
His voice was low and husky, suggestive: "Can we sleep together, in each other's arms?"
She pushed him away and snorted, "What kind of relationship is this where you sleep in each other's arms?"
“In my heart, you’ve long been my girlfriend,” he said solemnly.
"Xiaobai, what are you thinking now?" Lu Ye's breathing was heavy, and his voice was filled with tension. "Do you like me at all? Even a little bit?"
Do you like him...?
The answer is, of course, "Yes, I think so."
He was the man who captivated her at first sight.
Her answer invigorated Lu Ye, who tightened his grip on her, his voice trembling slightly as he pressed on, "Out of ten points, how many points would you rate your affection for me?"
"Five points," the girl said.
Lu Ye was not disappointed or frustrated by the answer; on the contrary, he was very happy.
This answer has exceeded expectations.
His heart was pounding wildly, its rate of beating increasing uncontrollably. He embraced her from behind and whispered in her ear,
"Then let's be together, okay? I'll try my best for the remaining five points."
"Xiaobai, please give me a chance."
"OK?"
"Hmm? Is it okay?"
Unable to get a response from her, the man hugged her and started to act coquettishly.
When he spoke, his lips were pressed close to her earlobe, and Bai Zhi felt as if her ear was about to get pregnant.
"Okay, from now on, you will begin your internship."
"How long is the internship?" the man asked.
"It depends on the performance."
"Okay, I will try my best to get a permanent position as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, he embraced her and gently kissed her neck.
She shrank her neck, tickled, and pushed him away, "Intern, what are you doing?"
He chuckled, "Interns have the same rights and obligations as full-time employees."
After he finished speaking, he rolled over, leaning over her and cupping her face in his hands, making her look into his eyes.
Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed past the window, and in the light, they were able to see each other's eyes clearly.
Her eyes seemed to hold stars, shining with a soft yet restrained light.
His gaze was like a sword, firm and unfathomable, yet at this moment, it was filled with an indescribable tenderness.
At this moment, their breaths mingled in the air, a mixture of tension and anticipation.
After a long while, seeing that she didn't push him away, his kiss carefully landed on her lips, light and affectionate, like cherry blossoms falling in a breeze, elegant and silent.
Feeling his warm breath, all her senses were amplified, her mind was dizzy, and only the warmth of his lips and the trembling in her heart remained.
He didn't make any excessive movements. After giving her a devout kiss on the forehead, he rolled off her and continued to embrace her from behind.
"Xiaobai, thank you." His voice was hoarse and full of affection.
Bai Zhi, suppressing her pounding emotions, asked, "What are you thanking me for?"
There are so many things I should thank you for.
"Thank you for overcoming immense pressure and numerous difficulties to save me. Thank you for staying and developing a relationship with me."
"Thank you even more for inviting me to sleep in tonight."
"And... thank you for liking me five points."
His voice was so deep and moving in the quiet night that Bai Zhi felt her heart almost melt.
All the grievances and difficulties I experienced during his treatment were worthwhile at this moment.
because
He saw all her efforts.
He knows how to be grateful.
After he finished speaking, he pressed his body against hers, put his arm around her waist, and said, "Sleep."
"Don't hold me so tightly." Bai Zhi was held tightly in the man's arms, and she felt as if she were next to a big furnace, which made her mouth dry.
The man retorted confidently, "I'm afraid you'll fall."
After a clap of thunder, the rain finally began.
Raindrops pounded against the window, making a series of sounds.
Bai Zhi was held in his arms, listening to the sound of rain, but she was wide awake.
The man didn't say anything more, and just held her quietly.
After some time, he nuzzled her neck and whispered, "Xiaobai, are you asleep?"
"Not yet," she replied.
"Then help me scratch it." He pulled her over to face him, took her hand and placed it on the scar on his chest, his tone full of grievance, "It's a little itchy."
"Don't scratch." Bai Zhi's hand touched his chest, gently stroking his wounds.
"Use more force." Touching it like that makes it itchier.
"No, you'll scratch it open." Bai Zhi touched his scars, feeling heartbroken and distressed. "This is what happens when you apply scar-reducing ointment. It'll get better in a while. Just hang in there."
"Okay." He grabbed her hand, not letting her let go. "Then touch it again."
