After the flash marriage, she and Mr. Xu are in love with each other

Chapter 34

Xu Tingce stared at her face full of relief, his dark eyes darkened even more, so he opened his thin lips lightly: "I can't sleep."

"You can fall asleep in bed."

Xia Zixi had a faint feeling that something was wrong, but she still answered his appeal with obvious dissatisfaction with a fluke.

"I can't sleep, tell me a story." Xu Tingce's voice was flat, as if he wanted to drink water.

Xia Zixi opened his mouth slightly in astonishment upon hearing the words.

Tonight, before this moment, Xia Zixi occasionally felt that he was half-conscious and half-awake playing a prank tonight.

But after this moment, Xia Zixi was sure that even though Xu Tingce spoke clearly, logically, and thought clearly, he was indeed too drunk.

And not half sober.

Because it was hard for her to imagine that Xu Tingce, who was sober, would ask someone to tell a story to lull him to sleep!

"Go to bed early, otherwise you will be late for the company tomorrow, don't you hate not being punctual the most?"

Xia Zixi guided her carefully, hoping that Xu Tingce could go to sleep obediently and stop torturing her.

Xu Tingce didn't like others being unpunctual, so she asked about it from Butler Wu.

I thought that understanding his habits would help me get closer to him and get along with him more harmoniously.

But she never thought of getting so close to him.

"Tell me a story, and I'll sleep."

Xu Tingce insisted on negotiating with her.

As soon as the words fell, Xia Zixi's hands were wrapped by his hot palms without warning.

His hands gently kneaded hers, with extremely wordless flattery.

Forget it, he is in a bad mood today.

Xia Zixi felt the gentle force from the back of her hand, and her heart softened again.

She promised his aunt that no matter how unreasonable or naive Xu Tingce was today, she would not be serious with him.

"Sleep after listening?" Xia Zixi questioned.

"En." Xu Tingce's voice was serious and sincere.

"Then lie down, and I'll tell you—" Xia Zixi blinked and said with a smile, "Tell a story about a stupid kid."

After hearing the sound of Xu Tingce lying down, Xia Zixi also sat down beside the bed.

As soon as she sat down, the hand that was close to Xu Tingce was immediately held tightly by him.

Xia Zixi has gradually gotten used to his frequent closeness tonight, she let him hold her hand, leaning against the soft head of the bed, and whispered:
"Once upon a time, there was a stupid kid. He didn't like to talk, and he liked to drink."

Xu Tingce was lying on the pillow, staring sideways at the edge of the bed with his lips opening and closing, with a hint of a cunning woman in his eyes, listening to the story she told, he felt more and more strange.

"Then one day, he got so drunk that he couldn't sleep until someone told him a story."

Xia Zixi couldn't help laughing, but soon returned to her gentle and distant appearance.

"Finally, the story was over, and the stupid kid fell asleep." She cleared her throat, ending the brief story.

Under the quilt, Xu Tingce squeezed her hand hard, causing Xia Zixi to cry out in pain.

"You pointed at Sang and scolded Huai." Xu Tingce's tone was very affirmative.

Xia Zixi frowned, and with curiosity and inquiry, she nodded in Xu Tingce's direction: "Are you drunk or not?"

She could even hear her criticizing Sang and scolding Huai.

"I'm not drunk." Xu Tingce affirmed.

Xia Zixi: ...It seems that she is completely unconscious.

"The story is over, go to sleep." Xia Zixi twitched her hand that was held by him, and found that he refused to relax.
