“Open the door!” His voice was cold and heavy, like the cold wind, blowing in through the crack of the door, chilling her to the bone.
“I’ll sleep over here tonight.” Fang Chixia locked the door behind her, ignoring him and turning around wanting to leave for the bathroom, but Luo Yibei’s voice came again, “I’ll count to three!”
Fang Chixia still turned a deaf ear.
The door was locked. What was there to be afraid of?
Going into the bathroom, she closed the door and filled the tub with some hot water and soaked herself.
She usually takes a long bath, and this one was no exception.
Halfway through the bubble bath, she seemed to hear the rattling of the door, but she ignored it, and relaxed herself in the bath.
The rattling outside the door continued, first with the sound of something sticking into the keyhole, then the door panel being pushed a few times in a trial run.
Two very tight jingling and crackling sounds, as if the next second, the door would be pushed open.
Fang Chixia"s brow furrowed, her face turning suddenly. Her eyes didn’t move from the bathroom door as her heart tightened a bit.
As a thought struck her, she blanched and wanted to rush over and block the door, however, the impulse was immediately snuffed out.
Outside the door, the sound of the bedroom door being opened came through, even the door panel hitting the wall made a dull thud.
Fang Chixia"s eyes widened in shock, listening to the rustles outside.
It’s open!
Listening to the footsteps that gradually approached the bathroom, she felt a bit panicked inside, but quickly calmed down again.
What did she have to fear from him?
Footsteps outside, as she had expected, finally stopped outside the bathroom door.
The bathroom door was left unlocked when Fang Chixia came in, only the bedroom door was locked.
And yet, there was no stopping him!
Luo Yibei stood outside the door, and with a tiny kick with his toes, the bathroom door opened with a bang.
Standing in the middle of the door, his gaze swept across the room. When he forced his way in, he"d been thinking how to cure Fang Chixia, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he froze.
Fang Chixia was leaning against the bathtub with her slender arms spread out casually, staring quietly at him. There wasn"t half a panic visible in her face, giving him the impression that she has been purposely waiting for him to enter.
Of course, this wasn"t how Luo Yibei pictured everything. His gaze swept over her and his eyebrows rose beautifully.
Is this woman getting wiser?
The first thing he did was to pull a bath towel from the side and wrap it around her, then picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.
Fang Chixia knew what he wanted to do, but made no move to refuse.
Nestled motionless in his arms, she kept her eyes on his face, only to suddenly say, just as he was about to lay her on the bed, “Luo Yibei, let me tell you a joke, if I can make you laugh, we’ll go straight to bed tonight!”
“Childish.” Luo Yibei didn’t even spare her a glance and coldly and arrogantly rejected her proposal.
Fang Chixia considered him silently. When he pushed her backwards towards the bed, she wrapped her arms around his neck and mapped out a plan, “How about we play a game?”
Luo Yibei finally met her eyes, then fell on her hands. He smirked, “The winner is king, the loser warms the bed?”
Fang Chixia hesitated, but still nodded, “Deal, as you say.”
“Stay put!” She obeyed him on this. But as soon as he agreed as well, her body flipped down and she prostrated herself on top of his.
