Chapter 76
The next morning, before dawn, Pei Huai's alarm clock, which he had set before going to bed, went off.
With his phone beside his pillow, Pei Huai, still half-asleep, quickly turned off the alarm.
Once the noise subsided, Pei Huai finally had a chance to look at Li Miao, who was sleeping on top of him.
Li Miao smacked her lips and uttered a few mumbled words in her sleep.
Under the covers, Li Miao's tail pressed firmly against Pei Huai's legs. Pei Huai looked down at him for a while before carefully getting up, dressing, and going to the bathroom to wash up. Then, by the light of the nightlight, he found the clothes Li Miao was going to wear that morning and put them aside before starting to pack up the luggage scattered around the hotel.
After I finished tidying up, I checked the time: 4:30.
Pei Huai let Li Miao sleep for an extra half hour because they were going to watch the sunrise together. Just in time, Pei Huai gently called Li Miao to get up.
Li Miao didn't want to hear her boyfriend's buzzing voice, so she closed her eyes, pulled the blanket over her head, and ignored him.
Pei Huai had expected Li Miao's cute and playful reaction. He knew Li Miao would stay in bed, so he had made sure to allow her time to do so.
Even after lying in bed for 10 minutes, Li Miao was still whining that she was sleepy.
Pei Huai understood; they had gone to bed too late last night and had probably only slept for a total of three hours.
Pei Huai leaned closer and told Li Miao to tuck her tail away first.
Li Miao didn't move.
Pei Huai reached his warm hand under the covers and stroked Li Miao's fluffy tail a few times before Li Miao slowly reacted and put her tail away.
With the tail tucked away, Pei Huai simply dressed Li Miao.
"Left hand, right hand, lift your head slightly," Pei Huai instructed methodically.
In a daze, Li Miao listened to Pei Huai's words and slowly got dressed.
Pei Huai turned on the bathroom light, and covered Li Miao's eyes with his well-defined knuckles. After Li Miao adjusted to the light, Pei Huai removed his hand.
Li Miao stood in front of the washbasin, leaning part of his body against Pei Huai. He rubbed against Pei Huai's neck and mumbled that he was so sleepy.
“I haven’t had enough sleep, but we’ve agreed to watch the sunrise… If you’re really sleepy, how about you skip it? I’ll go with them. Miaomiao, you can continue sleeping at the hotel. We’ll come back and take you down the mountain after we’ve watched the sunrise.”
"No..." Li Miao was very sleepy, but even more than being sleepy, she didn't want to miss the event that everyone was going to.
"I want to watch the sunrise over the mountain with my brothers too," Li Miao mumbled, her sleepy voice soft and adorable to Pei Huai.
"Then we have no choice but to wash up." Pei Huai squeezed toothpaste onto Li Miao's face and then wet his own washcloth to wash Li Miao's face.
The little kitten, whose eyes were a bit dirty after waking up, gradually became clean.
After washing up and brushing her teeth, Li Miao yawned and finally woke up completely.
After washing up, Li Miao sat on the edge of the bed, and Pei Huai said he would put socks on him.
Pei Huai bent over and grasped Li Miao's ankle with his slender fingers.
This scene looks familiar.
Li Miao blinked her long, thick eyelashes and, after a few seconds of recollection, vivid images suddenly flashed through her mind.
I was in this bed last night too...
Pei Huai gripped his ankle tightly with one hand, and even when Ren Limiao cried out that he was tired, he was not let go.
Hmph, the kitten suddenly got angry.jpg
Remembering the suffering she endured yesterday, Li Miao bit her lip and kicked Pei Huai's thigh.
Pei Huai, who was carefully putting socks on Li Miao, straightened up to pick up the other sock.
Without missing a beat, Li Miao's foot landed squarely between Pei Huai's legs.
Pei Huai was caught off guard and was kicked, frowning and groaning.
The little cat Li Miao, who had caused the trouble, opened its eyes wide. It was such a coincidence. It subconsciously tried to pull its foot back, but Pei Huai's hand grabbed it.
"You think you can just run away after committing a crime?" Pei Huai raised an eyebrow.
Li Miao bit her lip, unsure how to explain why she had suddenly kicked him. She simply looked at Pei Huai with her beautiful amber eyes, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"I'm innocent! My wife tried to murder me first thing in the morning."
“Just now I kept telling Miaomiao to sleep a little longer, and I even dressed her, brushed her teeth and washed her face.”
"I was still putting socks on Miaomiao when she got kicked." Pei Huai's deep eyes held a half-smile.
"So, Miaomiao, can you tell me why you kicked me?"
Li Miao blushed, turned her head to look at the ground, and stammered, too embarrassed to speak.
Pei Huai couldn't figure out why Li Miao was angry, and seeing that Li Miao remained silent, he didn't press her for an answer.
“You can keep the reason from me for now, but I’m in pain, shouldn’t Miaomiao do something to apologize?” Pei Huai said.
Li Miao drawled, "Ah..."
Li Miao: "I just accidentally kicked you, how am I supposed to apologize? If I had kicked you somewhere else, I could have rubbed it for you..."
"A little rubbing is fine too." Pei Huai smiled.
"..." Li Miao, who had been teased, instantly turned her snow-white earlobes red enough to bleed.
"You, you, you... shameless, you're such a pervert first thing in the morning." Li Miao stammered, too embarrassed to speak.
Pei Huai let out a few low, hoarse laughs, raised his hand and touched Li Miao's head, "I wonder who kicked me there the most perverted."
"Can't you really tell me why you suddenly kicked me?" Pei Huai asked casually.
Li Miao shook her head like a rattle drum.
"Alright, I won't ask anymore." Pei Huai glanced at the group messages on his phone. His cousin and Liang Yixuan were already up, discussing the meeting.
Pei Huai sent a message to the group chat, turned off his phone, and said, "Stop fooling around, it's time, let's go."
"Oh..." Li Miao pulled down her socks and put on her shoes. She and Pei Huai checked everything in the room again to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything. After watching the sunrise, they would go straight down the mountain and not come back.
In the corridor, Li Xuan, Pei Qingsong, and Liang Yixuan were all yawning; they were all a little sleepy.
The three of them greeted Li Miao and Pei Huai and went downstairs together to check out.
They weren't the only ones who got up so early; other hotel guests also wanted to watch the sunrise.
It was still dark, and the temperature on the mountain was a bit low. A gust of cold wind woke up Li Miao and the others.
Following the main group up the mountain, everyone reached the summit before sunrise and found the best spot to watch the sunrise.
Liang Yixuan kept his camera in his hand to shoot videos, he certainly couldn't miss such a beautiful and dreamy sunrise.
A ray of dazzling sunlight pierced through the churning sea of clouds. Warm and bright, the rising sun, brimming with vibrant life, slowly climbed upwards, illuminating the gray sky with its radiance.
The distant mountains, the distant sea of clouds, and the nearby flowers, grasses, and trees are all enveloped in a dazzling golden filter.
Holding a camera, Liang Yixuan couldn't help but exclaim how beautiful it was.
Li Miao and Pei Huai were also captivated by the scenery before them, not blinking once.
"Wow, the sunrise is so beautiful," Li Miao murmured softly, her lips parted.
Upon hearing this, Pei Huai smiled faintly. He turned his head to look at Li Miao, whose hair, eyes, and brows were tinged with gold by the sunlight.
The most beautiful thing was Li Miao's amber eyes, which were now reflecting light and shimmering with color, making her even more breathtakingly beautiful.
"Yes, the sunrise is beautiful," Pei Huai said with a slight smile.
I couldn't help but think to myself, "Miaomiao is beautiful too."
Liang Yixuan recorded the sunrise for a long time, and then took the camera to record Li Miao and Li Xuan.
As the sun rose, they rested on the mountain for a while before leisurely descending with the other tourists.
On the way down the mountain, Pei Huai and Li Miao chatted casually about their plans for the next two days.
"So, Miaomiao, can you tell me now why you threw a tantrum and kicked me this morning?" Pei Huai asked in a low voice, his eyes smiling, not angry at all.
Li Miao licked his lips. Seeing that Pei Huai was still very curious about this matter, he muttered, "Okay."
Li Miao pulled Pei Huai along, tiptoed slightly, and whispered something in Pei Huai's ear.
“That’s it.” Li Miao’s face turned red after she finished speaking.
Pei Huai truly hadn't expected this reason.
"Baby, I'm so unjustly afflicted."
Li Miao: "Hmph, not really, but there is some connection. Don't use that position next time."
"Don't you like it? Are you upset?" Pei Huai asked in detail.
Li Miao shook her head, her face flushed.
"Then why?" Pei Huai asked.
Li Miao was extremely embarrassed by the question and glared fiercely at Pei Huai.
Why are you asking?
Could Pei Huai possibly hear something as profound as this?
You're already my boyfriend, how can you have no self-awareness at all!
