162. Love to the point of no return.
After breakfast, Uncle Jian took Xie Ziyu and Doubao downstairs to play, while Xie Yaoyao went back to her room to catch up on sleep.
I had just gotten into bed when I heard a familiar sound of footsteps, followed by the mattress sinking down.
The next second, she was embraced in a warm hug.
Xie Yaoyao leaned back and found a comfortable position in his arms to lie down obediently.
Aren't you going to the company today?
Huo Yanxi felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. He rested his chin on the top of her head and said, "Yes, it's the weekend today. I'll stay home with you."
Xie Yaoyao closed her eyes, finished breakfast, and now sleepiness was creeping in.
She looked exhausted. "My back is a little sore, can you massage it for me?"
Huo Yanxi smiled as he listened to her ordering him around, "Is it just your back that's sore?"
She complained of weak legs last night.
Xie Yaoyao caught his teasing and nudged him backward with her elbow.
"No driving allowed."
Huo Yanxi chuckled twice, "You can do it, but you can't talk about it? Why are you still so thin-skinned?"
Xie Yaoyao's cheeks flushed, and she felt that he was being very improper.
The lewd things he said to her last night still make her blush when she thinks about them.
"Who else can be as shameless as you, not only getting older?"
Back when they lived in the small fishing village, he was very shy; if the two of them got even a little close, his ears would turn red.
At that time, he had a cold expression, and she assumed that he didn't like her getting close.
"Huo Yanxi, let me ask you this: back when we were in that small fishing village, did you not like me?"
Huo Yanxi slipped his hand under her clothes and stroked her waist.
He experienced firsthand once again last night how slender and supple her waist was.
His long, slender fingers gently pressed on the spot where her skin was aching, and he said, "Aren't you sleepy now?"
Xie Yaoyao closed her eyes, humming contentedly like a cat, "Hmm... I want to hear you talk about the past."
Huo Yanxi said, "No."
"Hmm?" Xie Yaoyao half-opened her eyes, her gaze falling on a point in the dim void. "But every time I talk to you, you don't want to talk to me."
"I thought I forced you to marry me, and that you hated me."
Huo Yanxi paused for a moment, then resumed massaging her. "No."
Xie Yaoyao pouted, "All you ever say is 'no, no,' when are you going to say something I want to hear?"
Why has Huo Yanxi reverted to his taciturn self?
If he continues like this, she might start overthinking again, believing that he no longer likes her.
Huo Yanxi wasn't really good at analyzing himself; he preferred doing it with her.
"Manman, let's do it."
Xie Yaoyao's breath hitched, and her heart began to race. She buried her burning cheeks in the pillow. "I won't do it."
Huo Yanxi leaned closer and pressed his lips to her ear, "Why?"
His warm breath lingered around her ear, and coupled with his deep, magnetic voice, Xie Yaoyao immediately felt an itch in her ear.
She shrank further under the covers. "There's no reason why, I just won't do it."
Are you feeling unwell?
Xie Yaoyao quickly reached out and covered his mouth, "Stop talking, are you going to sleep or not?"
Huo Yanxi pouted and kissed her palm.
Xie Yaoyao quickly withdrew her hand from the heat. Very well, this person's skin is indeed getting thicker and thicker.
She pulled the blanket up and covered her head. "I'm going to sleep. If you don't want to sleep, then get out."
Huo Yanxi seemed to be smiling.
Xie Yaoyao felt his chest vibrating, and her ears turned so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
Not getting the answer she wanted left her feeling somewhat disappointed.
Sure enough, he didn't love her.
He was just used to her being by his side; there was familial affection between them, but no romantic love.
Xie Yaoyao felt a bittersweet feeling in her heart.
The next second, she felt a movement behind her; Huo Yanxi seemed to have crawled into the blankets.
She froze, then was flipped over, and Huo Yanxi was on top of her.
Under the covers, neither of them could see the other, but she could feel that Huo Yanxi was watching her.
She reached out and pushed him. "What are you doing? I want to sleep."
Huo Yanxi pinpointed her lips and planted a quick kiss on them.
Xie Yaoyao blushed, "We have no official relationship, you're not allowed to kiss me, you're taking advantage of me."
Why kiss her if you don't even tell her you like her?
Huo Yanxi braced himself on either side of her, lowered his head and kissed her again, "Manman, I love you so much I'm going crazy, how can you not feel it?"
Xie Yaoyao's heart pounded, and her voice trembled slightly, "Really?"
"Um."
Xie Yaoyao seemed to be thinking of something, "But you were so cold to me back in the fishing village."
Huo Yanxi sighed, turned over and lay on the bed, pulling her into his arms so she could hear his heartbeat.
"It's not that I'm being cold; it's that I'm afraid I might hurt you."
Xie Yaoyao pouted, "You would never hurt me."
Huo Yanxi closed his eyes. How could she be so naive? Back then, when he was with her, the beast in his heart was always restless.
She had no idea how much he suffered when she slept restlessly at night, always putting her legs on him.
But they were both young at that time and were facing graduation. He wanted her so badly, but he could only keep enduring it.
In the year after they got married, she didn't know how many cold showers he took.
Huo Yanxi raised his hand, pressed down on her back, and made her feel his body, which was so hot it felt like it was about to explode.
Xie Yaoyao was completely stunned.
Huo Yanxi whispered in her ear, his voice hoarse, "Can you feel it? I'm so excited."
“When I was estranged from her, I kept thinking about this, and it became a mental obsession.”
"You say I don't like you? How could I not like you? I like you madly."
If there were light now, Huo Yanxi would see Xie Yaoyao's face blushing so deeply it was almost bleeding.
She hurriedly tried to get off him, saying, "I...I want to sleep."
Huo Yanxi tightened his grip around her waist, preventing her from moving. "Baby, now that you've woken it up, are you going to coax it back to sleep?"
Xie Yaoyao felt like she was being roasted over a fire, and her whole body was about to spontaneously combust.
"No, Huo Yanxi, how do you want me to coax him?"
Huo Yanxi's voice was even hoarseer, "Just coax me the same way you did last night, do it today."
Xie Yaoyao was on the verge of tears, "I didn't try to comfort her last night either."
It was all because of him...
"Baby, I feel so bad, please help me?" Huo Yanxi whispered in her ear, his pleading voice reaching her ears.
Xie Yaoyao trembled like a leaf in the wind, and she said in a panic, "I really don't know..."
The next second, Huo Yanxi kissed her lips again, his large hand sliding down her arm, gripping her wrist, and reaching under the covers.
Xie Yaoyao finally realized that she shouldn't have doubted Huo Yanxi's sincerity towards her.
That morning, in her room, Huo Yanxi demonstrated this to her through his actions.
He loved her so much, he was hopelessly in love with her...
