Chapter 104: Chapter 37 Unbearable Itchiness

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t sleep. She closed her eyes and suddenly heard movement from the room next door.

There was no helping it, her ears were too sensitive.

She heard Quan Shaoqing’s voice on the phone.

*

In the next room, Quan Shaoqing held his mobile phone, not caring whether the other party was asleep, and made the call.

After a moment, a soft and glutinous little girl’s voice came from the phone.

"Uncle, why are you calling me so late?"

"Next time you’re not allowed to wear lipstick. If you get lipstick on my collar again, see if I don’t spank you," Quan Shaoqing said angrily. A four or five-year-old girl learning to wear lipstick.

This could give rise to unnecessary misunderstandings.

He wondered if Gu Xiaoxi might overthink it.

At this point, Gu Xiaoxi, having heard his words, looked even worse because she couldn’t hear the voice on the phone, and Quan Shaoqing’s tone was full of doting.

It seemed that his relationship with Miss Lu was quite good.

The sort of thing like spanking, he would actually do it.

"Uncle, it was just an accident. You’re being so loud in the middle of the night, I want to go to sleep. If you wake up Daddy, Daddy will scold me again," the little girl said before hanging up the phone.

Quan Shaoqing looked at his disconnected phone, speechless for a moment. This girl, only five years old, was truly spoiled to the point of being wilful.

He had just put down his phone when there was a knock on the door behind him.

Quan Shaoqing immediately went to open the door and saw Gu Xiaoxi standing at the doorway with her arms crossed, asking him, "Where is my scroll?"

Quan Shaoqing gave her a once-over, always feeling that her expression was strange, yet he couldn’t pinpoint anything. Then he walked to the room’s safe and took out the second scroll for her.

Gu Xiaoxi took it, then turned and walked a few steps away, feeling like she still had something to say. She turned back and looked at Quan Shaoqing, asking, "When do you plan to get married?"

Quan Shaoqing looked at Gu Xiaoxi and smiled faintly, "I don’t plan to. Why do you ask?"

"Then, do you have someone you like?" Gu Xiaoxi asked again.

Quan Shaoqing looked at Gu Xiaoxi, his gaze changing.

In front of him stood the young girl in her loose pajamas, her short hair making her forehead especially clear, her delicate features, her fair face, especially her eyes as clear as ice-washed water, with a faint coolness.

Compared with those women he had seen, who were gentle and dignified, imperious and noble, dressed provocatively, made up maturely, sexy and charming, she appeared especially unique and outstanding.

There was a vague sadness mixed with the faint coolness on her. It was difficult for ordinary people to understand her. Once they did, they wanted to delve deeper, even feeling drawn to her, unable to look away.

Her beauty was not just superficial, but even her bones exuded an addictive allure.

Seeing that Quan Shaoqing did not answer, Gu Xiaoxi turned and walked towards her own room.

Just then, Quan Shaoqing suddenly stepped forward, swiftly grasped her hand, and then gently embraced her. With a deep and tender tone, he said, "Since you’re with me, I will certainly take responsibility for you. I won’t like the people you don’t like. Rest assured, we will always be the closest to each other."

Gu Xiaoxi rested her head against his chest, listening to the strong and vigorous beat of his heart, her lips slightly pursed.

Upon hearing his words, her eyes began to well up, hot tears swirling inside.

He always said these pleasant words to deceive her, to make her happy, to move her. But did he know that some things can be addicting?

She was becoming more and more dependent on him.

Quan Shaoqing felt hot tears streaming down his chest, a pang of heartache inside him.

She always appeared very strong, but only he knew her vulnerability. She longed for affection yet feared being hurt...

"If you’re scared at night, I’ll allow you to sleep with me," Quan Shaoqing said in consolation.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly wiped her tears on his clothes, then took the scroll in her hands and returned to her room.

After a moment, she brought her pillow and walked toward his room.

Quan Shaoqing stood in place watching her, somewhat speechless, as he had only spoken in jest...

Gu Xiaoxi sat on Quan Shaoqing’s bed, then opened the scroll. This time, as she read the words, no complications arose.

Moreover, every word was etched clearly in her mind. This made her extremely excited.

"Is practicing that really useful?" Quan Shaoqing asked curiously.

Gu Xiaoxi closed the scroll, having memorized the words on it. She turned to Quan Shaoqing and smiled, saying, "Someday we should spar. I guarantee it’ll surprise you."

Quan Shaoqing raised an eyebrow, pulled over the blanket, and prepared to sleep. "We’ll do it another day! It’s late now. Hurry up and sleep, I have to take you back in the morning. Oh! You haven’t told me yet, what is it you came to find me for?"

Gu Xiaoxi stiffened. She couldn’t possibly tell him that she came over to stop him from liking Zhang Jingyue, could she?

Wouldn’t that make her seem too foolish if she said it out loud?

Gu Xiaoxi immediately raised the scroll in her hand, and cheerily said, "Naturally, I came to look at this. I have to rush back by six in the morning. I can only sleep for an hour now."

"Then you should hurry to sleep," Quan Shaoqing took the scroll from her hand, "You have training tomorrow."

The scroll was suddenly gone from Gu Xiaoxi’s palm, now taken by Quan Shaoqing.

She wrinkled her nose at him, then pulled the blanket over her body and closed her eyes to sleep.

After all, sleeping with him made her feel secure, and she really was tired tonight.

When Quan Shaoqing had put away the scroll and came back, Gu Xiaoxi had already fallen asleep.

In the big bed, the girl’s breathing was steady. Her petite body, wrapped in a duvet, made her face seem even smaller. As she breathed, her chest rose and fell rhythmically, the light casting upon it, making her countenance appear even more enchanting.

Quan Shaoqing watched in a trance for a moment, then turned his head and looked out into the pitch-black window.

He didn’t get into bed but took a cigarette out to the balcony.

He thought, she’s still too young now.

When she’s a bit older, he could...

Suddenly, Quan Shaoqing slapped his forehead, annoyed with himself for having such indecent thoughts. He also wondered, would she ever like him?

As he smoked, his mind wandered restlessly, a tickling sensation in his heart. Especially as he couldn’t help but keep glancing towards the big bed, his heart itching insufferably.
