Chapter 36

Driven by curiosity, Butler Wu finally walked towards the spiral staircase.

He walked lightly, walked to the half-open door, and stood still.

Butler Wu stretched out his left hand with a curved index finger, ready to knock on the door.

But his sight was pretending to be unintentional but blatantly looking towards the center of the gray-and-white bed.

In the middle of the bed, Xu Tingce was lying on his side, with his hands under his head, and he cast his probing eyes on Xia Zixi's sleeping face without hesitation.

As if feeling Steward Wu's gaze, Xu Tingce lowered his eyes, and his eyes shifted instantly to Steward Wu.

The silent calm in his eyes made Butler Wu's legs go limp.

Butler Wu hurriedly bowed apologetically, and closed the door behind him habitually.

The sound of the metal door lock turning woke Xia Zixi up from her sleep.

She stretched out her hand and rubbed her tired eyelids, just about to stretch, but found that her other hand seemed to be out of control, unable to move.

Is it numb?

Xia Zixi used a little more force, and her hand broke free immediately, and pulled it out from the bedding with the real warm touch of human skin.

Only then did she realize something was wrong, so she opened her eyes suddenly.

The chaotic memory of last night gradually gathered and became clear.

In his memory, Xu Tingce was in a bad mood last night, and he drank a lot, got very drunk, and messed around all night.

But she wasn't much better either.

She only drank a glass of red wine, and when Xu Tingce made a fuss in the middle of the night, she followed him without knowing how serious it was.

He even accuses Sang and scolds Huai that Xu Tingce is a stupid kid?Later, it seemed that he still lost his temper with him?

Moreover, she slept in his bed all night?
The wonderful expression changes on Xia Zixi's face were caught by Xu Tingce's eyes, and his brows gradually furrowed.

He didn't understand why Xia Zixi was crying but not crying, smiling but not smiling.

"Xu Tingce?"

While Xu Tingce's brain was still studying and analyzing the psychological activities behind Xia Zixi's expression, Xia Zixi suddenly called his name in a very soft and fast voice.

Xia Zixi anxiously waited for Xu Tingce's response, and when no one answered her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when she was about to stand up carefully, there was a sharp pain in her neck, which made her scream.

"You've got a stiff neck." Xu Tingce followed the bouncing movement of her upper body, raised his eyelids slightly, and spoke lightly.

The first words he said when he woke up made his voice sound as clear and magnetic as if he had been soaked in a cool mountain spring.

"Ah... um." Enduring the pain and a little timidity in her heart, Xia Zixi responded indiscriminately.

Then, there was a long dead silence in the bedroom.

Xia Zixi turned her head to one side, lowered her head slightly, grasping the quilt as soft and light as a cloud in her hands, breathing softly.

But what she couldn't see was that Xu Tingce was just staring at her.

From her messy hair to her thick black and curved eyebrows, from her thick and trembling eyelashes to her moist and clear face, from her delicate nose tip to her cherry red soft lips.

Regarding what happened last night, both of them tacitly did not mention a word.

At the 82nd time Xia Zixi counted his own breathing, the position of the bed beside him bounced back and forth a few times with the sound of the quilt being lifted, and then stabilized.

The sound of footsteps on the thick carpet passed around her, and then gradually moved away.

The door behind him was opened with a "click", and immediately after, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Only then did Xia Zixi stand up abruptly from the bed, and using the tables and chairs in the bedroom, touched the door and left in a hurry.
