16: Soaking jujubes
16: Soaking jujubes
He listened to her softly humming in his ear.
Xiao Ze had to admit that some people are born to be favored by God.
For example, Li Xiwei,
Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a bit of artistic talent.
Both her pitch and the timbre of her voice are very suitable for singing.
Even though there was no accompaniment or singing at this time and place,
But the humming still sounds melodious and pleasant, offering a unique charm.
She's just as good as those female internet celebrities who sing on live stream.
Just as he thought of this, Xiao Ze suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Actually, when it comes down to it, it seems like I'm the one who's most favored by God.
Although I am ordinary in every way, I have the system.
"With this system in hand, I have the world at my fingertips."
This statement may sound childish, but isn't it also true?
At this point, after she finished singing "Sighing for the Clouds," she began humming another song.
He continued to gently pat Xiao Ze's back.
"Night closes her eyes and doesn't speak; I know you're listening to what I have to say~"
"Snap, snap, snap."
"I want to say that I love you a little more, and I've always been whispering in your ear. I believe you love me a little more too, you just haven't noticed..."
"Snap, snap, snap."
Xiao Ze could tell from her persistent patting of his back that...
I experienced a novel feeling of being pampered, cared for, and treated gently.
Her warm breath kept spraying onto my ear.
Xiao Ze felt that his ear was at most an inch away from her mouth.
If I move my upper body even slightly, my ear will be right up to her lips.
Xiao Ze quietly slipped one hand out from under the covers.
He grasped her soft, boneless little hand in one swift motion.
He said in a serious tone, without turning his head:
"I like to grab something while I sleep, otherwise I can't fall asleep."
After she finished speaking, Xiao Ze clearly felt her hand tremble slightly.
She coughed lightly, feigning calmness, and said:
"How can I pat your back if you're holding me like that?"
Xiao Ze turned over again, their breaths mingling.
She was so frightened that she flinched and almost rolled off the bed.
As Xiao Ze pulled her hand back, he also moved closer to her.
She placed her other hand on Xiao Ze's chest.
Xiao Ze didn't mind and chuckled:
"No need to pat your back anymore. Listening to you hum face-to-face helps me sleep better. Let's continue."
A few seconds later, her humming started again.
However, her originally clear and sweet voice now carried a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.
"Passing through my boundless heart~ I believe you are still here, never having left, my love is like an angel guarding you~"
Xiao Ze suddenly joined in the chorus: "If life ends here, and I am no longer here, I will find an angel to love you in my place..."
Half an hour later.
With her mouth dry, Li Xiwei reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.
The soft light instantly illuminated the area around the bed.
She saw Xiao Ze staring intently at her, his energy even greater than during the day.
Her pretty face flushed red instantly, and she turned her head to scold him playfully:
"My throat is almost hoarse from singing and you still won't sleep! You're doing this on purpose!"
Xiao Ze's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly:
"You're wrong. I didn't refuse to sleep on purpose; it's just that you weren't doing it right."
"Your methods for putting people to sleep are too basic, outdated, and monotonous, which is why they actually become more energetic the more you try to put them to sleep."
Li Xiwei clenched her fist, without turning her head to look at Xiao Ze.
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to resist punching him in the face.
She gently bit her thin lips and asked:
"Then tell me, how do I coax her?"
Xiao Ze sighed softly and said seriously:
"Who can sleep without showering before bed? Even if they manage to fall asleep, they'll have nightmares."
"Only by washing yourself clean and washing away all your fatigue can you truly fall asleep, sleep soundly, and wake up naturally."
"Huh? Huh! Huh~"
As if springs were installed under her buttocks, Li Xiwei sprang up off the bed in a flash.
Turning to look at Xiao Ze, her almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief:
"You expect me to wash dates for you? Xiao Ze, have you no shame?!"
Xiao Ze said matter-of-factly, "Don't make such a fuss every time; it only makes you look ignorant."
"Having someone wash dates is nothing more than doing menial tasks like scrubbing someone's back. This kind of work is perfectly legitimate and meets a common need. What does it have to do with having no shame?"
"Ask yourself honestly, given my current circumstances, what's wrong or excessive about having someone scrub my back?"
"Like I said, if you don't want to, fine. Do you think I can't find someone else to scrub my back without you?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than his phone rang beside his pillow.
As soon as Xiao Ze answered the phone, Yang Xiaoming's slightly anxious voice came from the other end:
"Aze, where are you now? Are you still with the class monitor? What about tonight...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ze coldly interrupted him:
"Putting aside whether I'm with Li Xiwei or not, even if I were, what business is it of yours? Who do you think you are?"
"Xiaoming, we've been classmates and roommates for almost two years. Although we're not really best buddies yet, we're still friends, so I really don't want to say anything harsh to discourage you."
"Let me tell you one last thing: if you don't believe in superstitions, you can go after her. If you succeed, that's your skill."
"But you're not allowed to bother me with this kind of thing again. If you do it again, don't blame me for turning on you completely."
After saying that, he hung up immediately, not listening to Yang Xiaoming's further words.
Li Xiwei frowned and said, "I have absolutely no feelings for him. I wouldn't want him even if every guy in the world died."
"What makes you think he should be chasing after me? Xiao Ze, I'm finding you increasingly domineering and shameless!"
Xiao Ze asked coldly, "Trying to divert attention?"
"Are you going to take a shower or not? If not, get out. Our relationship ends here."
After he finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
The two stared at each other for a full minute without saying a word.
Just as Xiao Ze was getting a little impatient,
Li Xiwei finally reacted.
She gritted her teeth, and the words she spoke seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth:
"Wash it! Are you satisfied now!"
Xiao Ze, who had a cold expression just a second ago, immediately brightened up and smiled:
"That's right, Xiwei. Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you."
Xiao Ze transferred five hundred yuan to her and said:
"I order fruit from Pagoda Fruit for delivery, and wash it while I eat it."
Ten minutes later.
The master bedroom features a large, multi-functional bathtub.
Li Xiwei reached into the water to test the temperature.
She then pulled out two milk bath bags from the bathroom cabinet, tore them open, and poured them into the water along the edge of the bathtub.
Then, a large bag full of premium fruits from Pagoda Fruit was placed on the sink.
Finally, she snapped impatiently towards the master bedroom, "Alright, come on, young master!"
Xiao Ze walked in, still holding his phone in his hand and dressed casually.
She walked away with such ease and composure, without the slightest embarrassment at being dressed in cool clothes.
"Xiao Ze, you bastard!"
Li Xiwei quickly turned around and closed her eyes, her eyes reddening with anger, almost bursting into tears. She said angrily:
"You're so disrespectful! You don't even treat me like a human being!"
Xiao Ze chuckled: "It's not as serious as you make it out to be."
"Besides, it's not like this is your first time seeing this. Just treat it as looking at a life drawing. No one else will know anyway."
After saying that, Xiao Ze stepped into the large bathtub.
I slowly lowered my body into the water, resting my head on the pillows in the bathtub.
Warm water mixed with premium milk instantly enveloped my entire body.
The bathtub's interior is made of high-end silicone material, which feels warm, soft, and elastic to the touch.
Xiao Ze closed his eyes comfortably and let out a long breath:
"Phew~"
