Chapter 261: Chapter 261: I Told You to Find a Comfortable Sleeping Position

"No."

"Tsks."

Messaging him in the middle of the night, was she playing a game?

Shen Dang could sense Qiao Xi’s evasive emotions and seized the opportunity, "You can’t sleep right now, can you?"

Qiao Xi, "I will sleep in a bit."

She wouldn’t be insomniac all night, right?

"What if you still can’t sleep in a bit?" Shen Dang deliberately paused, "Drink some alcohol?"

Qiao Xi, "..."

Adult men and women.

When it came to alcohol, things weren’t that simple, right?

With Boss Shen’s notorious reputation, Qiao Xi felt it wouldn’t bode well whenever alcohol was involved with Shen Dang.

Seeing that Qiao Xi remained silent, Shen Dang continued, "I’m inviting you out for a drink."

Qiao Xi firmly refused, "I’m not drinking."

He knew her limit with alcohol yet still invited her to drink, was he up to something?

With a hint of helplessness in his voice that lowered a few tones, he softly asked, "Then how about I sing for you instead?"

That voice, even through the receiver, carried an indistinctly seductive tone.

Sing?

Could Boss Shen even sing?

Qiao Xi had never been in a relationship, and didn’t know if other couples who had yet to confirm their relationship interacted like they did, but she felt moved by Shen Dang’s suggestion.

"I haven’t even laid down... You won’t back out, will you?"

Instead of answering, Shen Dang asked, "When have I ever backed out on something I promised you?"

Qiao Xi casually responded, "Too many things have happened, I don’t remember. You tell me."

Shen Dang, amused and provoked by her response, lightly tapped his cheek, "I won’t back out. What song do you want to hear?"

Qiao Xi then walked back into her room from the balcony.

"I can make requests?" Qiao Xi found it amusing, "Is Boss Shen not being the boss anymore and turning into a jukebox instead?"

Shen Dang gritted his teeth, trying to keep his composure yet amused again, "Are you listening or not?"

"Uh, listening," Qiao Xi straightened her expression, pressing her slightly upturned lips with her finger, her voice soft, "I won’t make any requests, anything you sing is fine."

There were several seconds of silence on the other end.

Qiao Xi brought her phone closer to see if the call was still ongoing.

Qiao Xi murmured, "Did you fall asleep?"

"Don’t rush, I am picking a song."

"Then keep looking."

Shen Dang seriously responded, "Alright, find yourself a comfortable position first."

"??? What are you saying?"

She didn’t understand.

Truly didn’t understand.

"I said to find a comfortable sleeping position."

Shen Dang chuckled, his voice carrying a clear laughter and a hint of cheeky triumph.

Qiao Xi, "..."

Qiao Xi felt she might have been influenced by Boss Shen; otherwise, why would such thoughts pop into her mind?

Qiao Xi placed her phone beside her pillow, turned on her side, both hands under her face, "I’m lying down now."

"Then I’ll start."

"Uh-huh."

Qiao Xi softly acknowledged this.

"People drift through life, not by their own volition

It made me curious all my life

Chasing the taste of being loved,

Until I finally met you,"

...

Shen Dang’s voice came through her ears, silky and magnetic, with an inexplicable allure.

Every word he uttered seemed like savoring a steaming cup of fragrant tea on a winter day, the aroma spreading, the warmth of the tea seeping from her throat into her heart, warming her entirely.

He sang a Cantonese song.

Perfectly enunciated.

Qiao Xi was amazed.

Boss Shen was indeed a man of many talents.

"How can I touch you,

How can I describe to move you,

To embrace and love you for a century,

I never care if you are beautiful or not,"

...

The gentle tone was like gravity pulling her closer to him every second.

In this thick night, in this room alone, Qiao Xi felt a sense of security and solidness from his every word and tone.

"If you’re uneasy,

I’ll be your buoy,

My love for you won’t fade,

The world is colorful,

With just this bit of love,

As soon as our hands touch,

I ask if you love me or not,"

Boss Shen beautifully ended the song.

Qiao Xi’s originally calm heart suddenly boiled like water heated to bubbling.

"Thump, thump, thump—"

Her heart was pounding violently.

Qiao Xi touched her chest but couldn’t calm the turmoil inside.

"Have you fallen asleep?"

His voice was still tender, like the dense night that couldn’t be dissolved.

Qiao Xi’s voice was even lighter than before as she responded, "Uh-huh."

She wasn’t sure if Shen Dang heard her.

"Sleep then," he paused before his voice brightened with a smile, "Good night."

Qiao Xi eventually fell asleep.

A night without dreams.

The night passed.

Qiao Xi’s name was still on the trending searches.

The next day, there were more onlookers.

The more her fans pitied Qiao Xi, the harsher they cursed Qiao Nan, demanding she get out of the entertainment industry.

Indeed, Le Entertainment had a hand in the online ordeal, they, like Qiao Nan, intended to crush Qiao Xi, but she managed a shocking turnaround.

Le Entertainment, realizing they were used as pawns by Qiao Nan and seeing no more value in her, terminated the artist contract with Qiao Nan and demanded a penalty for breach of contract.

Soon, it was time for Qiao Xi to go overseas for an advertisement shoot.

Shen Dang arrived at Qiao Xi’s apartment building at five in the morning.

It was still dark outside.

Shen Dang lowered the car window, resting his arm on it, casually calling Qiao Xi.

"Hello."

Her voice was still groggy, soft, and languid.

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, "I’m downstairs at your place, get up, wash up, and come down."

Qiao Xi squinted at the time, surprised he was so early.

"Okay, getting up."

"Is twenty minutes enough?"

"No need."

Qiao Xi hung up, got out of bed to wash up, and after a quick face wash, she grabbed her already packed luggage and headed downstairs.

Seeing Qiao Xi’s figure, Shen Dang stepped out of the car, helped her lift her luggage into the trunk.

Qiao Xi watched his tall and straight figure, suddenly recalling last year, how he indifferently watched her struggle with the luggage without offering help.

Tsks.

As Shen Dang closed the trunk, he noticed the meaningful smile on Qiao Xi’s lips, reached out and flicked her forehead.

"What are you smiling about?"

Qiao Xi lifted her eyelids, her expression cold but with a hint of a smile, "Nothing, just remembered something."

"What something?" Shen Dang leisurely watched her.

Qiao Xi, half-smiling, "Are you sure you want to hear?"

"Maybe I’d rather not," Shen Dang quickly changed his tune.

Qiao Xi, "..."

The sky was turning indigo blue, a hint of light breaking at the horizon.

The car slowly moved out, and Qiao Xi turned to look at the man driving.

His profile was sharp and clear under the streetlights, radiating a captivating glow; his dense eyebrows, high nose, and naturally slightly reddened thin lips all highlighted his nobility and elegance.

That perfect face occasionally turned to show her a handsome and relaxed smile.

The fingers resting on the steering wheel were well-defined; his shirt sleeves casually rolled up, adding a relaxed sexiness.

His slightly open collar and the shirt outlined his perfect physique, which appeared somewhat rakish.

Qiao Xi felt it rare for a man to be so attractive.

What a seducer!

Qiao Xi touched her chin, her lips curving slightly, "Actually, I just suddenly remembered..."
