Chapter 493 I sleep with you?
Han Xi's voice was wrapped in the cold air outside.
Xu Fangli threw back the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but he quickly stopped her: "Don't get up, the ground is cold."
It was freezing cold outside, but his palms were warm, like a heat pad on Xu Fangli's ankles.
"What happened these past two days? Is your fourth uncle keeping a close eye on you?"
Han Xi chuckled softly, and lightly scratched her collarbone with his fingertips. "It's okay. Play the whole act. Fourth Uncle is not like Father and Third Uncle. It's right to be careful."
He leaned over and touched her forehead with his lips, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
"I'm glad you're okay."
"The flight is at nine o'clock, you should sleep a little longer."
He glanced at his watch and said, "I'll call you at seven."
Xu Fangli shook her head: "I had so many dreams that I couldn't sleep."
"Then I'll sleep with you?"
The moonlight outside the window seeped through the gaps in the curtains, casting a cold band of light on the floor.
Fang Li curled her lips and nodded at him.
Han Xi understood the silent invitation, a hint of tired warmth flashed across his eyes, and he quickly went to the bathroom.
As the sound of dripping water began, Fang Li touched the place beside her, which still carried her body temperature. It seemed like a long time had passed even though they had only been apart for two days.
Soon the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and a few minutes later Han Xi came out in gray pajamas and drying his hair. A faint scent of cedar with moisture wafted over as he approached.
By the time he reached the bed, Han Xi's short hair was already half dry.
He threw the towel on the sofa at the end of the bed, lifted the quilt and got into bed.
As soon as Han Xi got on the bed, Fang Li almost instinctively snuggled into his arms, curling up like a kitten.
My forehead rested against his collarbone, and I could clearly hear the steady heartbeat in his chest.
The warmth of his body seeped through the thin fabric, like a warm stove in winter, soothing all her lingering anxieties.
"Things in the capital are almost arranged. I'll leave for Mamba after you leave."
Han Xi's hand gently cupped her back, his fingertips caressing the soft fabric of her clothes. "I've already arranged everything for my brother. Haicheng will come to pick you up personally. Try to bring someone with you when you go out in the near future."
Fang Li hummed, her fingers unconsciously hooking the buttons of his pajamas.
"I went to the old house today and visited my grandfather and my mother."
"Are they okay?"
Fang Li said softly, "Grandpa is a little worried. I explained it to him, and he still believes you. As for Mom..."
Fang Li thought of something and suddenly laughed softly.
"What's wrong?"
"Mom is very caring. She doesn't seem to be worried about you at all. She didn't even ask me about it. She even talked to me about a lot of other things."
Thinking of his mother, Han Xi's brows softened.
"Mother doesn't like to show worry on her face. She doesn't say she's afraid of you."
"Afraid of me?"
Han Xi lowered his eyes to look at her, "I'm afraid you're more worried than her."
“.....”
"This is the last time."
He bent down and kissed the top of her head. "Once the New Year is over and everything is settled, we can just live a normal life. Going to and from get off work every day, shopping and eating together, and spending time with Grandpa and Mom in our free time..."
The chat flowed casually like a stream. Listening to Han Xi's gentle voice, Fang Li couldn't help but agree.
As the two of them talked, they gradually turned their conversation into some insignificant trivial matters.
Fang Li said that the stray cat downstairs gave birth to kittens, and Han Xi said that two people in the company were having an underground relationship and were discovered.
Fang Li said that she might go to Ruicheng to attend the opening ceremony after the New Year, and Han Xi said that he would make time to accompany her at that time.
The midnight whispers, every word is wrapped in fine sugar, so sweet that it makes people's hearts soften.
As silence fell, Fang Li suddenly remembered what happened yesterday afternoon.
There was a dull pain in her lower abdomen, she had no appetite for anything, and she felt an uncontrollable nausea. Her heart skipped a beat, and her fingertips gently clenched Han Xi's pajamas.
"Han Xi."
She raised her head, the moonlight just falling on his jawline, "Yesterday..."
The words stopped at his lips.
She saw his Adam's apple move, as if waiting for her to continue, but the fatigue in his eyes was like cotton wool wet by the night fog, falling heavily.
This thought came so suddenly that she didn't know how to say it out loud. She was even more afraid that this sudden speculation would disrupt his already tense nerves.
During this time, he had to stay at the police station to relax Han Shuo and the others' vigilance, and he also had to secretly control the Han family and not completely relax and give them any chance. Not only that, he also had to arrange Mamba's affairs and travel itinerary in advance...
"What's wrong?" His voice was lower and blurry with sleep.
Fang Li opened her mouth, but ultimately shook her head: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask... Have you not eaten well these past two days? Why have you lost some weight?"
She snuggled back into his arms, but found that the person next to her didn't respond.
Looking up, Han Xi's eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, and his breathing had become long and heavy.
The dark spot was particularly obvious in the moonlight, as if it was lightly smudged with ink, stinging her eyes and making them sore.
He looked relaxed and spoke simply, but in fact, he must have been very nervous these past two days. He probably didn't sleep much, and now he didn't even have the strength to listen to her finish her words.
Fang Li sighed softly and reached out to gently smooth his frown.
Seeing that the man's brows were tense even when he was sleeping, Fang Li moved up a little and hugged him tighter, letting his head rest on her shoulder, as if she was holding a tired child.
"Go to sleep."
She whispered into his head, her voice so soft as not to disturb him, "Who knows... there might be a little one soon. She'll wait for you to come home with me."
The moonlight outside the window moved a little, shining on the two hugging bodies.
Han Xi seemed to move in his dream, and unconsciously tightened his arms, holding Fang Li more tightly in his arms.
Fang Li closed her eyes, her nose filled with his unique scent.
This smell has a unique magic. She had been awakened by those bizarre dreams and could not fall asleep again. Now, smelling this familiar smell made her feel at ease.
Soon, Fang Li fell asleep again in a daze.
The night is quiet and cool.
The sky soon brightened.
When Fang Li opened her eyes again, her consciousness felt like it was immersed in warm water, chaotic and soft.
The smell of cedar lingering in her nose was stronger than before she went to bed. She moved and found that she was not lying down, but half curled up in Han Xi's arms.
He was probably afraid that she would not sleep well, so he adjusted his position in the middle of the night, letting her nestle in his arms, with his other hand loosely protecting her lower back.
The sky outside the window had already turned white, and the morning light came in through the car window, outlining a layer of furry golden edge on his jawline.
Fang Li stared at the bruise under his eye for a while. Just as her finger was about to touch it, the car body suddenly shook slightly, and she suddenly woke up.
They were not in bed, but in the car.
