Chapter 223 - 223 A Kiss
223 A Kiss
Shen Xi, who was still lost in her fantasy, answered honestly, “I’m looking at you!”
After she finished speaking, Shen Xi suddenly came back to her senses, and her panicked eyes fell onto the starry eyes in front of her.
Shen Xi’s breath got caught in her throat, and even her heart skipped a beat.
After that, Shen Xi felt her heart beat faster. She finally related to book descriptions of characters feeling their hearts skip a beat.
Guan Lei surveyed Shen Xi’s shocked, flustered, and blushing face several times.
Shen Xi’s red face was like a tender and rosy peach, especially those bright red cherry-like lips. It made Guan Lei extremely thirsty, and he couldn’t help but lean closer to those moist lips.
The moment their lips touched, Guan Lei’s mind exploded like fireworks. His lips were covered with a softness he had never experienced before, making his mind go blank. He was extremely excited.
So Xi’s lips were this soft? That was the only thought left in Guan Lei’s mind.
Just as Guan Lei was about to taste more, someone pushed his chest hard and kicked him, causing him to fall off the bed.
Shen Xi glared at Guan Lei in embarrassment and anger. She was embarrassed that she had subconsciously said that she was looking at Guan Lei in such a flirtatious manner, and she was angry that Guan Lei was being a hooligan again.
Shen Xi rushed out of the door, leaving behind a dazed Guan Lei who was sprawled on the ground, unable to react for a long time.
After a while, Guan Lei smiled foolishly. His slender fingers gently covered his lips and rubbed them reluctantly. His mind was completely occupied by the soft touch just now, and his heart was numb.
Seeing Shen Xi leave in a hurry, Xue Li tried to call after her and make her stop but to no avail. She thought something must have happened to Guan Lei.
However, the moment she entered the room, she saw her young master in his pajamas, sitting on the ground with a silly smile on his face. It was as if his soul had been stolen by someone. Xue Li quickly went up and called out to Guan Lei, “Young Master?”
With Xue Li’s shout, Guan Lei finally came back to his senses.
He looked at Xue Li and, for the first time, asked in a gentle tone, “Oh, it’s you, Xue Li! What’s wrong?”
“Young Master, a-are you all right…?” Xue Li asked carefully.
Guan Lei shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m fine!”
Only then did Xue Li feel relieved. “I saw Ms. Shen Xi’s unusual expression. She left in a hurry and didn’t look back no matter how much I called her. I thought something had happened to you. It’s good that you’re fine, Young Master.”
When Guan Lei heard Shen Xi’s name, he sat up straight. As he thought about Shen Xi’s embarrassed and adorable look, he suddenly burst out laughing.
Xue Li was confused. Who could tell him what was going on? What was wrong with her domineering and cold master? Why was he smiling so lovingly? It gave people the feeling that he had just come out of a gentle place, and his face was full of the joys of spring.
It wasn’t that Guan Lei didn’t know how to smile in the past. It was just that every time he wanted to pull a prank on someone, he would smile evilly and terrifyingly.
It wasn’t like the way it was now, silly and gentle like a spring breeze. Perhaps the young master had really gone crazy.
“Young Master, don’t scare me. I’m scared when you’re like this!” Xue Li was so anxious that she almost cried.
Guan Lei knew that Xue Li wasn’t used to his current appearance, but he couldn’t control himself.
As long as he thought of Shen Xi, his heart would feel as happy as if he had eaten honey. Once he was happy, his tone would soften, and the corners of his mouth would uncontrollably curve up.
“All right, I’m fine. Don’t be afraid. I’m just happy.” Guan Lei was in a rare good mood, and he even started to comfort Xue Li.
Xue Li was even more surprised that Guan Lei knew how to comfort people. She stared at Guan Lei with a tense expression, trying to find some clues that showed that her young master was still normal.
Meanwhile, Guan Lei didn’t care about what Xue Li was thinking. He got up, washed up, and told Xue Li,”Go buy me crab roe dumplings from Auspicious Dragon Hall and Xi’s favorite almond cheese for breakfast.”
