Chapter 333: Chapter 332: Don’t Want to Go Back to an Empty Home Alone

Contacting Shen Dang’s smiling peach blossom eyes, Qiao Xi tried hard to calm herself down and bravely met his gaze directly.

Whoever flinches first is a dog!

Shen Dang’s smile deepened a bit, "I asked you to help get my clothes because I was afraid you’d say I did it on purpose."

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "I think you’re doing it on purpose now!"

Deliberately flaunting his good physique.

Who could stand such a beautiful man’s post-bath picture?

Qiao Xi could withstand it now, but it might not be the case in the future.

Male succubus!

Pah!

"Really not," Shen Dang raised his hands in a surrender gesture.

"You—" Qiao Xi pointed at him, expressionless, "Get dressed and go out; it’s time to return to your room!"

Qiao Xi didn’t want to argue about these useless matters, her voice cold as she asked him to leave.

Shen Dang placed his hands on his hips, displaying his perfect physique even more vividly in front of her.

Qiao Xi dared not let her gaze drift elsewhere, keeping her eyes fixed on his.

Suddenly, she heard Shen Dang blurt out, "I saw a cockroach in my room when I came up just now."

Qiao Xi paused for a moment and coldly said, "I’ve had cockroaches here before and squashed them with a shoe. I suggest Boss Shen follow my example."

Could he possibly be afraid of cockroaches?

"I do not kill living beings."

"..."

Hearing those words, Qiao Xi almost heard the joke of the century.

Was he serious?

Qiao Xi nearly laughed because of him, but considering the current situation, it seemed inappropriate to laugh suddenly.

So, she kept trying hard to keep the corners of her mouth tight, her eyes cold, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t kill living beings, cockroaches won’t climb onto your bed. If you ignore it, it will crawl away on its own. Boss Shen, you really don’t need to worry."

"What if it does?" In Qiao Xi’s cold phoenix eyes, Shen Dang leisurely added, "What if it climbs onto my bed?"

"I’m afraid of cockroaches," he insisted with conviction, "Those creatures are terrifying. Just the thought of them makes my scalp tingle."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi looked at him skeptically, "Are you serious?"

A grown man, afraid of cockroaches?

Shen Dang’s face was dead serious, "As serious as it gets. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Madam Shen."

He furrowed his eyebrows, looking utterly repulsed by the idea of cockroaches.

Naturally, Qiao Xi would not actually go to ask Ran Jing.

Crossing her arms, Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, examining him, "So what you’re trying to say with all this is?"

"You have two beds here, don’t you?"

Boss Shen was already eyeing her bed.

Qiao Xi kept a neutral tone, "And then?"

"I’ll sleep here tonight, and if there are cockroaches, you can help me squash them since you have the experience."

He said this without a hint of guilt.

She was a girl, and he had the audacity to ask her to kill cockroaches as if it were the most natural thing in the world?

Seeing him act so shamelessly, Qiao Xi nodded, "Alright, then I’ll go to your room and deal with the cockroach."

She took an alternative approach.

It didn’t matter to Qiao Xi whether Shen Dang was pretending or not; she would just kill the cockroach directly and be done with it.

"As everyone knows, you can never completely get rid of cockroaches, and even if you go now, you may not even see a cockroach."

Qiao Xi laughed sarcastically, "So, the cockroach is just an excuse for you, huh?"

"It’s not an excuse; there really was a cockroach," he looked directly into Qiao Xi’s phoenix eyes with utter sincerity, "Of course, not wanting to go back is also true."

Now he was being upfront.

Qiao Xi couldn’t contain her laughter, placing her hand on her forehead as she laughed helplessly, "So you just want to stay here?"

"Yes."

Shen Dang took a few steps forward, scooping up Qiao Xi, who was sitting on the sofa, into his arms.

As he sat down on the sofa, he placed her on his lap.

He looked at her meaningfully, "I don’t want to be alone in my room."

Qiao Xi smiled wryly.

He was clingy again.

Incredibly so.

"And you’ve been on the set all day filming, and I can’t even see you," Shen Dang said this with a sense of grievance.

Qiao Xi softened a little when she thought about Shen Dang coming all the way to Mo City to see her and even coming to this backward little town for her sake.

Softening towards a man was something she knew wasn’t good, but she couldn’t help her own actions.

Qiao Xi didn’t know if she loved him, but what she understood clearly was that she liked him immensely.

So even though Shen Dang was holding her so intimately, although she felt a bit shy, she didn’t struggle to get away.

Qiao Xi could feel his body heat.

He had just come out of the bath, and his skin was cool.

But sitting on his lap, she could feel the warmth emanating from his body and the sense of strength in his solid legs.

Enough to support her.

Shen Dang’s hand gently searched around her nape, "I’ll sleep on the other bed, I absolutely won’t cross the line."

Qiao Xi pushed his chest, "You said it."

Feeling his warmth through her hand, Qiao Xi quickly let go.

Shen Dang looked down at her curled-up fingers, a smile creeping into the corners of his eyes, "Mmm."

"Then put me down."

Without further ado, Shen Dang immediately placed her back onto the floor.

His purpose had been achieved.

Qiao Xi went to tidy up the other bed.

She normally used this unoccupied bed to place her things, which were a bit of this and that.

She quickly finished tidying up.

She turned to Shen Dang, "Tonight, this is your bed."

Shen Dang’s handsome features were tinged with a smile, "Okay."

He wouldn’t mind sleeping on that bed, on the floor, or even in the bathroom, so long as he didn’t have to go back and be alone in his room.

Naturally, Qiao Xi had no idea what was on Shen Dang’s mind.

It was getting late as well.

After they both had washed up, they returned to their beds.

"I’ll turn off the light," Shen Dang’s bed was closer to the light switch.

The curtains in the room were all drawn, and Qiao Xi pulled the blanket up to her chin.

Her phoenix eyes were fixed on the ceiling.

"Go ahead."

"Click" —

The room suddenly darkened.

The outside light was blocked.

The room was shrouded in darkness, with only a faint light seeping in through the gap in the curtains, ensuring the room wasn’t totally dark.

As Qiao Xi lay flat, she could hear a rustling sound from beside her.

Shen Dang was lying on his side facing her.

Borrowing that weak light, Shen Dang could make out Qiao Xi’s facial contours.

Her profile was exquisite, her nose high-bridged and slightly humped in a very distinctive way.

"Are you asleep?"

His voice was low, oddly enticing in the dark.

Qiao Xi: "..."

It hadn’t even been a minute; who could fall asleep so quickly?

Qiao Xi thought he had asked a pointless question.

"Xi Bao?"

Boss Shen kept pressing the issue.

"...Don’t call me Xi Bao."

It felt odd.

"Then how about Baobao? Baby? Girlfriend?"

Qiao Xi was exasperated by him, her tone cooling, "...Keep it up, and I’ll send you out!"

Fine.

There was no way he was going out.

Boss Shen immediately quieted down.

Only then did Qiao Xi find peace.

"Sleeping now, good night."

She turned over, her back to Shen Dang.

"Good night," he replied, his voice still laced with laughter.

The night was long—
