Chapter 134 But what do you like about me?
If time could stand still here.
That sunny afternoon, the moment he lowered his head and kissed Yu Qingzhou, might become the happiest and most glorious moment of Li Xiao's fifteen years of life.
Unfortunately, the next second, a sharp pain somewhere in his body made the boy deeply understand what it meant to be in heaven or hell in an instant...
"Hiss, no, Yu Qingzhou, if you don't agree, couldn't you... couldn't you have pushed me away sooner?"
Li Xiao gasped for breath and trembled as she groped her way to lie down on the sofa next to her.
Seeing this, Yu Qingzhou also showed a rare hint of guilt.
"Sorry, I was just spacing out, then I suddenly realized—"
He paused, as if remembering something unpleasant, frowned slightly, and didn't continue.
Turning to the boy, whose face was deathly pale and who was huddled pitifully on the sofa, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you... alright?"
“Not particularly good.” Li Xiao answered almost instantly.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzhou's brow twitched slightly.
I thought to myself, they really aren't being polite at all.
He was quite certain that he had held back his strength just now, and besides, judging from the boy's reaction speed, it didn't seem like anything serious had happened.
However, as an adult, it is indeed unreasonable not to refuse the other party's advances that went beyond social etiquette in the first place and let things develop in an inappropriate direction.
Besides, the boy in front of him did indeed look pitiful, as if he were in pain...
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Yu Qingzhou asked softly as she leaned down slightly to check on the boy.
Sensing the other person's approach, Li Xiao, still lying on her side, opened her eyes and peeked out from the crook of her arm, revealing an extremely beautiful half of her face, confirming that it was the most charming look from Yu Qingzhou's perspective.
Then, she slowly blinked her large, watery blue eyes, looking quite weak, and asked with a seemingly innocent expression, "Anything is fine?"
Upon hearing that subtly scheming tone, Yu Qingzhou knew that the other party was actually perfectly fine.
She couldn't help but chuckle softly, not answering directly whether it was true or not, but instead watching the boy with a leisurely air.
"Tell me about it, I'll listen."
Actually, Li Xiao should have realized something was wrong at this point.
But at this moment, all his attention was focused on the lips he had just tasted.
It is said that if something happens once, it will happen twice.
Besides, someone like Li Xiao, who gets carried away by a little kindness and easily becomes corrupted by a little arrogance.
Watching Yu Qingzhou's mouth open and close, Li Xiao's thoughts had already uncontrollably strayed onto a crooked path.
For a moment, I thought, "I wish we could kiss again."
Then he thought again, Yu Qingzhou's lips looked brighter and more moisturized than before... Hmm, this was all thanks to him.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of smug satisfaction.
My heart feels like it's crawling with ants, it's so itchy.
Blushing, she murmured softly, "Then kiss me, anywhere is fine, but...it would be even better if it were on the lips."
"sure."
"Oh, really?"
Hearing Yu Qingzhou's quick agreement, Li Xiao regained some of his remaining rationality. However, he was quickly overtaken by lust and daring.
"Really." Yu Qingzhou smiled and nodded. "But close your eyes first."
Li Xiaoyi closed her eyes as instructed, looking like a good little girl.
His hands, placed at his sides, were still gripping the corner of the cushion, and the slight bobbing of his Adam's apple revealed a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
You can't blame him for that.
After all, it's something you've been thinking about for so long, and suddenly it seems like your dream is about to come true. You'd be excited beyond words.
Even though it was just a kiss, once you've kissed on the lips, what else is likely to follow?
If neither of them were infertile, he would have already decided what to name the child, where to choose a postpartum care center, and where to send the child to elementary school.
When it comes to schooling, it's better for the child to follow Yu Qingzhou's example; it will make him look good when attending parent-teacher meetings.
As Li Xiao was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a cool, wet touch on her cheek.
He held his breath almost instantly, trying to remain calm on the surface, but his heart was screaming with rage.
Here it comes! This feeling, this force, something seems...something seems off.
Li Xiao couldn't help but secretly open one eye.
Then the other eye opened as well.
Then, both eyes widened into the shape of copper bells.
With a scream, he rolled off the sofa.
After all, who can accept their fantasy lover suddenly turning into a Chihuahua with drool dripping from its mouth and incredibly intelligent eyes?
"What the hell is this?!"
“A dog,” Yu Qingzhou replied calmly.
Seeing that Li Xiao still looked like he'd seen a ghost, he kindly added, "Generally, we call it a Chihuahua. Although this breed of dog is known for being noisy, this one is quite well-behaved. Look how cute it is. Didn't you always say you wanted a dog?"
Indeed, when Li Xiao was young, there was a period when he really wanted a dog.
It's not that I really like it.
It's just that since his classmates all have dogs, he naturally assumed that a dog is a standard feature of any family.
Just like you should have a straw when you drink soda.
However, what he wanted was a dog, not some strange alien creature.
Especially after my cheek was unexpectedly licked.
Li Xiao felt that he was no longer clean.
"Don't you like it?" Yu Qingzhou put her hands under the armpits of the Chihuahua and held it up to Li Xiao's face.
The latter was so frightened that he pressed his back against his legs and shook his head as far as possible in the opposite direction.
"Haha, it's amazing that you still remember something from so long ago," Li Xiao said hastily. "Actually, I don't like dogs anymore."
"Is that so?"
“Yes,” Li Xiao nodded seriously, “After all, people always change as they grow up…”
He almost wanted to say that he now prefers cats, but thinking that Yu Qingzhou might surprise him again, he decided against it.
"I see." Yu Qingzhou softly agreed and gently placed the Chihuahua on the ground.
I took out a bone-shaped toy and waved it in front of the puppy.
The latter immediately became excited, jumping and spinning in place, its two round dog eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Seeing this, Yu Qingzhou said, "Go play by yourself," and casually tossed the toy away.
The Chihuahua immediately galloped away and disappeared through the doorway.
Li Xiao, still shaken, took a while to look away before getting up and sitting back down on the sofa.
"No, Yu Qingzhou, you really intend to leave this thing behind?" Li Xiao asked cautiously, his face showing a complicated expression.
Chihuahua.
"ah?"
Its name is Chihuahua.
It took Li Xiao a while to realize that the Chihuahua's name was indeed Chihuahua.
Fortunately, Yu Qingzhou didn't actually intend to keep the dog; she was just looking after it for a friend for two days.
Li Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
People usually become more talkative when they relax.
The same goes for Li Xiao.
He half-jokingly remarked that it must have been some kind of naming genius who gave the dog that name, as if they hadn't thought of using their brain at all.
As a result, Yu Qingzhou's next sentence completely shut him up.
"Your brother."
"Oh...ah?!"
Li Xiao jumped up from the sofa with a shout: "Chen Yun came by? When did this happen? What did she come to say and do?"
“Yesterday, he had a competition to prepare for, so he asked me to look after his Chihuahua,” Yu Qingzhou admitted.
Because of his overly composed expression, Li Xiao felt a little awkward and responded with "oh, oh" as she sat back down on the sofa.
Secretly, he cursed Shen Yun, that seemingly serious but actually cunning guy, more than a hundred times.
He refused to believe that the Shen family, with so many members, couldn't even spare one person to take care of the dog.
Ultimately, all he wanted to do was find an excuse to get closer to Yu Qingzhou.
Li Xiao himself could understand such a simple and easy-to-understand principle, so he didn't believe that Yu Qingzhou couldn't.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel wronged again.
He was secretly pleased that he had kissed Yu Qingzhou and wanted to announce it to the world.
However, after being attacked in the face by the Chihuahua and learning that Yu Qingzhou had brazenly brought Shen Yun's dog home behind his back, Li Xiao suddenly lost confidence.
He himself hadn't even spent a night at Yu Qingzhou's house yet, but a dog beat him to it—and it was the dog that Shen Yun, whom he hated the most, kept...
A flood of thoughts rushed through Li Xiao's mind. Looking at Yu Qingzhou, a chilling thought suddenly occurred to him.
If it hadn't been him kissing Yu Qingzhou just now, but that cunning kid Shen Yun, or the smiling tiger next door, would Yu Qingzhou have let the other person kiss her like she did just now...?
Thinking of this, Li Xiao quickly stopped.
He desperately tried to convince himself that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
First of all, this is not the style of those two people.
Secondly, if something really did happen, he didn't believe he wouldn't receive any news. After all, putting himself in their shoes, he would have at least shown off to them.
But what if?
Thinking this, Li Xiao looked at Yu Qingzhou with a hint of unspoken words in his eyes.
Yu Qingzhou said directly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind. He stared into Yu Qingzhou's eyes with hope and asked, "Yu Qingzhou, you don't hate me, do you?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Yu Qingzhou's face, then she gently shook her head: "I don't dislike it."
"Then..." Li Xiao swallowed silently, "Do you like me?"
This time, Yu Qingzhou didn't answer immediately, but instead asked softly, "What kind of liking are you talking about?"
Having gone this far in conversation, Li Xiao steeled his resolve and decided to go all out.
He was born late, but that doesn't mean he couldn't act earlier.
As the old saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.
"It's...it's that kind of liking I have for you!" Li Xiao blurted out, her face turning bright red.
Once the words were out, I realized that my voice wasn't as powerful as I had imagined; in fact, it even cracked a bit.
silence.
In the silence of the complete absence of news, Li Xiao's heart sank little by little.
—Oh no. This is a complete disaster.
Just when he was feeling extremely guilty and wished he could commit suicide on the spot to be resurrected and return to half a minute earlier, Yu Qingzhou spoke.
He asked, "But what do you like about me?"
Li Xiao considered countless possibilities, but he never expected the other party to ask such a question.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, she immediately blurted out, "I like everything!"
He paused, then quickly added, "I really mean it!"
Yu Qingzhou smiled gently as she looked at the boy's confident expression.
He only asked one question: "Like liking a puppy?"
"This..." Li Xiao hadn't expected the other party to ask such a question. Recalling what he had said not long ago, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "How can these be the same?"
"Oh, so why are they different?" Yu Qingzhou asked casually.
Li Xiao clicked his tongue inwardly. For some reason, he felt that Yu Qingzhou was more difficult to deal with than usual today.
"How can these be the same?"
Li Xiao muttered softly, "I'd want to kiss you, but I'd never want to kiss a dog—"
As he spoke, the boy's face became somewhat distorted.
Just recalling the deep, affectionate gaze he had shared with the Chihuahua so close to him sent a chill down Li Xiao's spine. Oh no, he'd have nightmares tonight...
“So, you just want to kiss me,” Yu Qingzhou repeated.
Li Xiao's face started to burn again.
The same words would be fine if I said them myself, but when they come out of the other person's mouth, there's an inexplicable shyness.
He couldn't help but tilt his head, coughing lightly, and said, "It's not just about wanting a kiss—"
As for anything else, he thought that since they were all men, some things should be left unsaid.
Li Xiao thought to himself.
Over there, Yu Qingzhou muttered to herself, "I see."
Li Xiao was taken aback, and before he could figure out what the other person meant by "like this", he heard Yu Qingzhou say again, "Then let's do it this way."
Then he moved closer to Li Xiao, examining those emerald green eyes up close with an evaluative air.
Li Xiao didn't understand why the other person was suddenly looking at him like that.
The body has already given an instinctive response.
He was tense; his heartbeat, breathing, muscle tension, blood flow, body temperature, and even the frequency and size of his pupil contractions were all affected.
"So beautiful," Yu Qingzhou murmured with a sigh, as if possessing some kind of magic, causing Li Xiao to unconsciously hold his breath.
Before Li Xiao could respond, Yu Qingzhou had already returned to her original position.
With the same expression as usual, it was as if everything before was just an illusion for Li Xiao.
"Then let's give it a try."
Yu Qingzhou suddenly said in a very serious tone, "If you haven't given up on this feeling after everything is over, let's try dating."
"to interact with, to associate with..."
Li Xiao's face turned red again.
But he no longer cared. The impact of that word was even stronger than kisses and hugs, or any of the thoughts that had flashed through his mind about whether or not he could see anyone.
Yu Qingzhou noticed the boy's incoherent speech and asked, "You don't want to?"
"Yes! I'm willing!" the boy blurted out excitedly.
As soon as the words were spoken, she realized that this seemed to be part of the wedding vows, and so she secretly started to have wild fantasies.
However, Yu Qingzhou seemed unaware of this coincidence.
His demeanor, like his gaze, was unbelievably calm.
Yu Qingzhou turned his gaze to the corner of the courtyard again. Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, ruffling a strand of hair from his forehead.
At that very moment, Li Xiao suddenly realized that the scar that had been on the other person's forehead seemed to have disappeared.
