Love So Sweet

315 Tempting Him to do Bad Things

While Bai Qi went back to his room to take a shower, Zhang Li Xue took the chance to do the same. She removed her makeup and dabbed some skin care products on her face.

After a while, Bai Qi returned to her room again.

Zhang Li Xue went back into the bedroom again and slid under the quilt cover again. Her wide eyes were staring at the ceiling.

Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open.

From the corner of her eyes, Zhang Li Xue could see Bai Qi walking over to the bed. The man was dressed in his lounge pants and a t-shirt. After showering, his hair looked soft and fluffy.

Bai Qi lifted the quilt and slid under it.

Zhang Li Xue could feel the mattress beside her sink. Her heartbeat accelerated as she could feel the warmth from Bai Qi.

It would be a lie to say that she was not anxious to have Bai Qi sleeping beside her. Although she had told him that they would only be sleeping, she was a little afraid of what might happen between them.

They were a couple and intimacy was something natural.

.....

However, this was also the first time that she had liked someone. Zhang Li Xue was a little lost at what she should do.

Bai Qi flicked the switch on the bedside table. Suddenly, the room turned dark.

Zhang Li Xue swallowed as she saw the darkness all around her. When she could no longer see anything, Zhang Li Xue closed her eyes tightly.

“Li Xue?” Bai Qi quickly noticed that there was something strange with his girlfriend. He turned on the light again and looked at Zhang Li Xue with worry. “What happened?”

The faint light made her feel more at ease. Zhang Li Xue opened her eyes again and bit her lips. “Nothing.”

His brow furrowed. Her face looked pale and she still told him that it was nothing.

Suddenly, Bai Qi was reminded of something.

He gave her a lookover and spoke, “Li Xue, you are afraid of the dark.”

Bai Qi could still remember how Zhang Li Xue had looked so worried when he left her for a few minutes at the hospital. It was at night and the hospital was too quiet. When he came to her side again, Bai Qi noticed that she looked afraid.

It was only after they had gone into his office that Zhang Li Xue seemed to be at ease again.

“When you asked me to stay, could it be because you are afraid of the dark?” Bai Qi asked again.

The shift in her expression had already told him that he had guessed it right.

Bai Qi looked at his girlfriend in disbelief.

And he had thought that this girl had deliberately wanted to tease him when she asked him to sleep here. It seemed that he was the one who had thought too much.

Bai Qi was embarrassed by his thought.

“Then, how did you sleep last night?” Bai Qi asked.

Zhang Li Xue blinked. After a brief hesitation, she then spoke again, “I turned on the lights.” Her brow furrowed. “Don’t laugh.” Her cheek bulged as she pouted.

She could not help but recall a horror movie that she had watched with her Aunt Han Yue Xue. Coincidentally, that horror movie’s setting was at the hotel.

Zhang Li Xue recalled that scene again and was frightened.

Last night, she had turned on every light in the room to sleep. Even so, she would wake up when her ears picked up every sound around her. She did not have enough sleep.

Bai Qi pursed his lips, suppressing the smile on his face. The look on Zhang Li Xue’s face at this time was too adorable.

He wanted to tease her but was worried that she would be angry.

“Then, should I turn on the light?” Bai Qi asked.

It might be a little uncomfortable for him to sleep with the lights on, but since his girlfriend was scared, then, there was nothing else that he could do.

“It’s alright. As long as there is a little source of light, I can manage,” Zhang Li Xue said.

She would always be scared of the dark, especially in an unfamiliar places. Each time that she traveled, Zhang Li Xue would sleep with all lights switched on. But if there is someone with her, she could tolerate a little light.

Her family knew about this and had been worried about her. However, as she grew up, Zhang Li Xue would pretend that she was no longer afraid.

Bai Qi switched off the bedside light. Then, he turned on the bathroom light, letting the faint light coming from the frosted glass door.

He looked at Zhang Li Xue again and asked. “Is this alright?”

Zhang Li Xue nodded shyly. “Un. This is fine.”

The rustling of the fabric could be heard.

Zhang Li Xue closed her eyes tightly as she told herself not to be afraid.

Suddenly, warm arms wrapped around her waist and her face buried into Bai Qi’s chest. The familiar scent and warmth immediately made her feel safer.

“Sleep.” Bai Qi leaned over to kiss her on her forehead. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Hearing his reassuring voice made her feel more at ease.

Zhang Li Xue snuggled to get into a comfortable position and whispered, “Doctor Bai, you are so good to me.”

The smile on his face stiffened. With his girlfriend so close to him, Bai Qi did not know just how long he can stay good. They were too close and he could inhale her fragrant scent. They were tempting him to do bad things.

Zhang Li Xue raised her head and planted a kiss at the corner of his lips. “Good night.”

A faint sigh escaped him. This good man wanted to turn into a wolf and devour the little rabbit in his arms. However, Bai Qi could only suppress a certain urge.

His little fairy was scared of the dark and he did not want to take advantage of her during her moment of weakness.

With Bai Qi holding her to sleep, Zhang Li Xue quickly dozed off again. Her sleeping face looked peaceful without any worry.

Meanwhile, a certain someone was having a hard time falling asleep. In the end, Bai Qi could only force himself to stop thinking too much and sleep.
