Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Palpitations
.........
"Li Xiaoyao, are you asleep?" Tang Tiantian's voice was light.
"Not yet." Li Xiaoyao stared straight at Tang Tiantian. The evil fire in his belly had finally subsided, but there she was again, seemingly determined not to let him sleep.
"Can you... come in and talk with me? I'm afraid to be alone." Tang Tiantian said timidly. When she spoke these words, her cheeks blushed like two red apples, thankfully unseen in the unlit room.
"Oh, sure, wait for me a moment." Li Xiaoyao stood up from the chair, stretched his body, twisted his neck, and slowly walked toward the room.
In the bedroom, Li Xiaoyao sat on the edge of the bed while Tang Tiantian lay on it. The two of them quietly looking at each other created a momentarily awkward ambiance, tinged with ambiguity.
"Is work tough?" Tang Tiantian broke the silence, asking softly.
Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Not tough, quite relaxed actually. I just sit in the office every day without needing to do anything and get my salary at the end of the month."
"Oh." Tang Tiantian fell silent again.
Li Xiaoyao asked, "How about you? How's work going?"
"It's enough to support myself, and each month I'm able to save a little for You De." Tang Tiantian's smile was somewhat bitter, but her eyes were filled with hope. "You De does really well in school. Once he graduates, he'll definitely find a good job. By then, I'll save some more money to buy him an apartment in the city."
Li Xiaoyao looked at her and suddenly felt that this woman was truly kind-hearted. It didn't matter if she lived a less comfortable life, as long as her brother had a good one, she would be happy.
"I feel like I can't sleep anymore, Li Xiaoyao, do you want to drink some wine?" Tang Tiantian sat up on the bed, and without waiting to see if Li Xiaoyao wanted to, she stood up and went to the living room to fetch a bottle of red wine, saying, "Can you join me for a bit?"
Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "How could I refuse such a beautiful request?"
Tang Tiantian's cheeks turned a light pink. She pulled out the cork but realized she had forgotten to bring a wine glass. Shaking her head, she decided not to bother and directly took hold of the red wine, her red lips touching the bottle opening, and drank a couple of sips.
After she finished, she handed the red wine to Li Xiaoyao. He took it and also drank two sips.
That's how the two of them went on, one sip after another, focusing solely on the wine, not speaking a word.
Soon, the bottle was empty. Tang Tiantian didn't hold her liquor well and now felt a bit dizzy.
"Li Xiaoyao, why are you so nice to me?" Tang Tiantian tilted her head and gazed at Li Xiaoyao. Her eyes, clouded with intoxication, looked at him with an enticing haziness.
Li Xiaoyao knew she was drunk. He put the empty wine bottle on the floor, touched her hair with his hand and gently said, "It's late, you should go to sleep."
But to his surprise, Tang Tiantian suddenly hugged him. Her soft body pressed against Li Xiaoyao's, her subtle, sweet scent filling his nostrils and momentarily making him lose himself.
Damn it, she was trying to make him commit a crime.
Li Xiaoyao thought darkly, yet his hands involuntarily grasped her tender wrists.
Tang Tiantian's eyes held a deep affection as she slightly closed them, leaning her upper body forward, the very picture of someone ready to be embraced.
"I like you."
This declaration, laden with deep emotion, was like a fuse that instantly ignited the feelings Li Xiaoyao had suppressed in his heart.
Li Xiaoyao's arms gently tightened, and he pulled her into his embrace.
"Mmm~" Tang Tiantian let out softly, and her body was immediately embraced tightly by Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao lowered his head, seized her red lips, and kissed her domineeringly. Chapter Explore:
Tang Tiantian had never had such intimate contact with a man before, and the feeling Li Xiaoyao gave her was incredibly wonderful, as if having this man by her side gave her an infinite sense of security.
A night of spring breeze, a house full of the colors of spring.
Daylight arrived.
Tang Tiantian was awakened by the sunlight that streamed in from outside, groggily opening her eyes, and her head gradually cleared as she turned to glance at Li Xiaoyao beside her.
Tang Tiantian looked at his sleeping face and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
This man might have some flaws she didn't know about, maybe she still didn't understand him enough, but Tang Tiantian had no regrets about what happened yesterday.
Li Xiaoyao was an upright man, this Tang Tiantian knew better than anyone else.
And with Li Xiaoyao by her side, Tang Tiantian always felt especially at ease, especially secure.
Tang Tiantian wriggled her body, leaning into Li Xiaoyao's embrace, her heart filled with happiness.
Tang Tiantian stretched out her hand, her two fingers lightly tracing lines on Li Xiaoyao's firm chest.
"What are you doing, little girl?" Li Xiaoyao, who had woken up at some unknown time, suddenly spoke and gave Tang Tiantian a start.
"Nothing much." Tang Tiantian was still somewhat shy, not daring to look at Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao looked at her, and with a naughty smirk, said, "Not being honest, huh?"
Tang Tiantian, somewhat panicked, twisted her body and said, "Stop it now."
Li Xiaoyao was no stallion, and upon hearing this, he simply embraced her gently and said softly, "Don't go to work today. Stay home and rest well. I'll cook for you."
"Mmm." Tang Tiantian nodded shyly and buried her head in his embrace.
She really liked this feeling, believing Li Xiaoyao to be a man worthy of her trust, but she was also a bit worried, afraid that she might not be able to hold on tightly to such a good man as Li Xiaoyao.
"Sis."
Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the door.
Tang Tiantian lifted her head, stunned for a few seconds, then said anxiously, "It's You De, get up quickly, otherwise he'll see us."
Li Xiaoyao, holding her waist, said, "Let him see, it's also about time he gets to know his brother-in-law."
The word "brother-in-law" made Tang Tiantian's heart flutter with embarrassment and joy.
Li Xiaoyao threw off the covers, got out of bed, and stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, stretching his arms vigorously.
Tang Tiantian gazed at Li Xiaoyao's perfect body, each inch of muscle contained boundless strength, and thinking about last night made her cheeks flush with heat.
