Chapter 66: Showing Weakness This disobedient mouth always hurts him, always...
This disobedient mouth always hurt him and always said the words that made him most sad. Li Ci ignored her struggle and kissed her with revenge.
He didn't want to make her feel bad, he wanted to kiss her until she cried, and even wanted to bite her to make her feel pain.
But when those two lips pressed against my body fiercely, my mind went blank.
Soft, sweet, makes your heart tremble and your scalp tingle.
The feeling of kissing her was so good that it suddenly made him feel a little calmer.
Even when she bit his lips and blood came out, he couldn't get angry.
Li Ci's breathing became heavier as his lips parted. He looked at her and smiled, bright red blood seeping along the seam between his lips. He looked seductive and strange, like a vampire who had just had a full meal.
Lin Xicai felt suffocated and nauseous. She stared at him, suppressing her mental and physical discomfort, and asked the question that concerned her most: "What time is it?"
Li Ci smiled, and the blood from the corner of her lips dripped onto her face, like a few drops of red plum blossoms falling on her fair skin.
Li Ci gently wiped it off with his fingers, and said in a friendly tone, "Why are you asking this? What time is it? Will it affect our sleep?"
Lin Xicai's voice was heavy, "Tell me what time it is first."
The kiss seemed to soothe him. Li Ci suddenly became very patient with her. He then actually looked at the watch on his wrist and answered this somewhat baffling question: "8:15."
Eight fifteen. Lin Xicai muttered the time, feeling a sense of desolation in her heart. Why was it only eight fifteen?
Nearly four hours left...
"Li Ci," she called his name, her voice unusually soft, "Li Ci, I'm so hungry."
Li Ci's eyes wandered over her face, staring at her as if she were staring at a tempting snack, his eyes as fierce as a wolf's: "I'm hungry too."
His gaze was too direct and dangerous, as if he was going to pounce on her and eat her up to fill his stomach at any moment.
He is in danger now, Lin Xicai thought, and the most important thing for her now is to find a way to stabilize him.
There was still some warmth on her lips, and they were still a little numb. Lin Xicai thought of the scene just now and her stomach felt bloated, nauseous, and uncomfortable. She was actually not hungry at all. Not only was she not hungry, she even felt like vomiting.
But there was no other way, she had to take a gamble, bet on his little patience with her.
She paused, her tone showing a hint of weakness, "I...I want to eat the food you cook."
Her eyes were still red and had a faint moisture in them, making her look particularly pitiful. While speaking, she even gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Li Ci didn't move, just looked at her calmly.
Like trying to dissect her soul.
As if wanting to see what kind of sinister intentions are hidden behind the pitiful expression.
He seemed to have made some progress, beginning to see through the sinister intentions behind her innocent appearance. But so what, even after seeing through her sinister intentions, he still felt pity for her.
The two people were in a stalemate.
After a while, Li Ci straightened up and sat up dejectedly.
He knelt on the bed and pulled her up with him when he stood up.
"Come and help me," he said.
Lin Xicai's heart beat faster, she was glad that she had won the bet and escaped danger temporarily.
She wanted to check the time, but she didn't have a cell phone on her and there was no clock on the wall. She frowned and slowly followed him out.
The refrigerator was full. Li Ci rolled up his sleeves, took out vegetables and meat, and went into the kitchen.
Li Ci didn't seem to trust her. Seeing that she didn't follow him in, he stood at the door and beckoned her to come in. Lin Xicai didn't say anything and followed him in obediently.
Li Ci's cooking skills were learned quickly due to being forced to do so, and he hadn't cooked for quite some time, so his manners were rather unfamiliar. After a while, sweat appeared on his forehead, his brows were knitted together, and a bit of a murderous look appeared on his handsome face.
Lin Xicai was afraid that he would suddenly go crazy or find fault, so she picked up a few vegetables and put them in the sink, then washed them slowly, pretending that she was not idle either.
The water was running, and Lin Xicai was dawdling in the sink with a few vegetables in her hand. Li Ci was preparing the vegetables, but at some point, he stopped and looked towards the sink with a sad look.
He stared at her for a while with a frown, then suddenly put down what he was holding and walked towards her.
Lin Xicai was startled, and the next moment, he took her hand out of the sink, and threw the vegetables aside with a look of disgust.
Li Ci slowed down the water flow, took her hands to rinse them, and gently dried them with a towel. Then he looked at her hands and suddenly lowered his head to kiss her fingers.
She is his, Li Ci thought, every inch of her skin and every part of her body is his. How could such a beautiful pair of hands be used for such a thing.
Lin Xicai watched his movements, her fingertips trembled, and she felt a chill in her heart.
Li Ci rolled up his sleeves and went out and came back in, carrying a chair and putting it in the kitchen. He didn't let her work, but asked her to sit there and accompany him.
This behavior was extremely insane, but she had no room to resist. She sat on the chair, staring at the hand he had kissed, and rubbed the place he had kissed hard.
Li Ci didn't ask her what she wanted to eat, but instead made the dishes that she had taken more of last time.
The last dish was spicy chicken, which had a strong chili flavor. After the chili flavor was stir-fried, the kitchen became very choking. Lin Xicai's chair was not close to the stove, but she was still choked and coughed.
Li Ci stood by the stove, his eyes red from choking. He looked over at her when he heard her coughing, frowning slightly: "Don't you know to run away when you're choking?"
Lin Xicai pursed her lips, wishing for more. She immediately stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, Li Ci caught up with her and blocked her way. A happy look appeared on his face: "You just choked and didn't go out. Is it because of me? Do you want to accompany me? Are you afraid that I will be unhappy?"
Lin Xicai: “…”
I'm afraid you'll go fucking crazy.
Lin Xicai didn't want to anger him, so she met his earnest gaze and nodded stiffly.
Li Ci couldn't help but smile at this, seeming extremely happy. He looked at her, his Adam's apple moving, and his tone softened a bit, "It would have been better if you had been so well behaved earlier. Don't always make me angry, okay?"
Lin Xicai didn't say anything and nodded stiffly.
Li Ci's heart moved, and he leaned over and was about to kiss her again. Lin Xicai frowned and lowered her head to avoid him.
Afraid that her dodging action would drive him crazy again, Lin Xicai pointed at the stove and whispered, "Don't burn the food...don't burn the food."
Li Ci was rarely not angry. He pinched her face affectionately and went back to the kitchen.
Lin Xicai walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. She turned her eyes around, as if thinking about something.
This person seems to be a bit soft-hearted and doesn't like to be tough.
There is no chance of winning if you provoke him or fight him head-on; it will only drive him crazy.
Like just now, occasionally showing weakness within the range that you can tolerate may actually achieve your goal.
Lin Xicai took notes in her mind and sat down at the dining table.
The food was served and the two of them ate face to face. Lin Xicai deliberately ate very slowly.
Li Ci didn't seem to feel hungry at all. He barely touched his chopsticks and stared at her. Seeing that she was eating slower and slower, he frowned slightly and asked, "Is it not tasty?"
Lin Xicai shook her head and said, "It's delicious."
She paused and added stiffly, "...it's so delicious, so eat it slowly."
After saying this, she felt a little nauseous. She hadn't been very hungry before, but now she felt even fuller. But Li Ci took her seriously—as if he would take anything she said seriously as long as it benefited him, without even bothering to distinguish between falsehood and sincerity.
Li Ci himself felt that he seemed a little too easy to coax.
He worked hard to cook a table full of dishes, and the other party just praised it for being delicious, and he became happy again.
And it wasn't just any ordinary happiness, it was the kind of happiness that made his heart tighten, the kind of overwhelming happiness that came pouring in like a flood.
It almost swallowed him up, almost drowned him.
He felt as if he were a dog again.
This time no one forced him, and he willingly became a dog.
People just waved at him and he started wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue.
He tried to force himself out of this abnormal happiness, and his eyes suddenly became cruel. How despicable, he thought, when did he become so despicable.
But when he looked up, his eyes softened uncontrollably again the moment they met hers. He looked at her, and the two of them ate peacefully and warmly. The happiness in his heart was indeed real. Could he deny it?
Lin Xicai glanced at his face and watched his expression change. She was tormented by his changeable face and couldn't understand his strange expression that seemed to want to kill her at one moment and gentle at the next.
Li Ci didn't eat anything. He didn't take many bites of the food served to him, as if he didn't feel hungry at all. He held the chopsticks in his hand and occasionally picked up some food for her, as if he really cared about her stomach and wanted to feed her.
Lin Xicai found the food tasteless and she mechanically put it into her mouth, trying to delay time as much as possible.
Li Ci didn't urge her, but just looked at her quietly and sighed softly, "Don't make trouble with me, I will cook for you every day from now on. Don't get angry with me, be good to me in the future, and I will give you whatever you want."
Lin Xicai was already full, so full that she could hardly eat any more.
But she was afraid that if she stopped, he would continue to do something else.
Lin Xicai looked up at him, paused, and said stiffly: "Don't you want to eat?"
She hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece of spicy chicken and gave it to him. "Aren't you hungry?"
She really couldn't eat anymore, and it would be best if he could eat a little longer.
Li Ci seemed to have completely unexpected that she would pick up food for him. He was stunned for a moment, then picked up the piece of chicken coated with chili on the plate.
He had a wound on his lip and was not suitable to eat this kind of food, but he couldn't refuse and didn't want to refuse.
When he put the red thing into his mouth, the pepper touched the wound on his lip, which stung so much that it hurt. Li Ci frowned slightly and couldn't help but gasp.
The wound became even redder and the lip swelled up.
Lin Xicai had no expression on his face. He stared at the spicy food on the plate and his swollen lips, but he was wondering in his heart why the chili peppers were not poisonous.
She dawdled until the food was cold. She couldn't find any reason to dawdle any longer, so when the meal had to end, Lin Xicai began to try to clear the dishes and bowls on the table.
However, as soon as she raised her hand, Li Ci's brows furrowed.
"Don't touch that mess," he said. "Just leave it there. I'll clean it up tomorrow."
"No," Lin Xicai shook her head and made up an excuse to make herself less confused. "If we start working on it tomorrow, it will be even more difficult to clean up."
Li Ci's frown deepened. "I'm the one who cleans it up, not you."
"But it will have a smell." Lin Xicai said.
Li Ci looked over and seemed a little impatient.
Lin Xicai looked at him and held her breath.
But Li Ci just pushed her away and actually lowered his head to start cleaning the dirty table.
Lin Xicai was slightly surprised, and her mood was a little complicated as she watched his actions.
After all, Li Ci had done some housework in the space, so he looked quite skilled when cleaning up the dishes.
He was washing dishes in the kitchen, moving quickly. Soon he finished everything, washed his hands and walked out.
Lin Xicai watched him approaching, and alarm bells began to ring in her heart.
Li Ci walked up to her and before she could say anything, Lin Xicai looked over and said weakly, "Do you have any cake, Li Ci? I want to eat some cake."
Li Ci's arms were still dripping with water, and he looked over at her, frowning, "It's already half past ten, almost eleven. Cake? When have you ever eaten cake at this time?"
Lin Xicai pursed her lips and lowered her voice a little: "But I want to eat today."
She paused, each word stiff. "...Didn't you say that if I behave myself, you'll give me everything? So that doesn't include cake, right?"
After Lin Xicai finished speaking, she felt like vomiting.
What the hell, she would never talk like that in her life.
Thanks to Li Ci, she unlocked her pretentious side.
Damn it, if she had known she would never have let this psycho out.
Li Ci looked at her steadily, and seeing her angry and spoiled little appearance, he suddenly laughed.
Li Ci took two steps towards her. Lin Xicai frowned and subconsciously took half a step back.
Li Ci continued to approach, and Lin Xicai continued to retreat. The next moment, he pressed her shoulder hard, and she was forced to sit directly on the sofa.
Li Ci leaned over, supported himself on the back of the sofa with both hands, and held her whole body between his chest and the backrest.
He looked at her, his face slightly closer, and looked into her eyes at a very close distance.
"Do you know that you're really bad at pretending to be good?"
