  "What?"

  "It was during KTV..."

  "What?"

  It's nothing, but girls like Xuran will also be concerned about it.

  "Want to put on my jacket?" Li Xiaobai hastily explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid you'll catch a cold, after all, the main responsibility was mine just now."

  Of course, you also have responsibility.

  If it wasn't you who came up and snatched my bottle, the one who must have gotten soaked to the bone is that despicable woman Song Kexin.

  Not good, Xuran's face turned a bit strange again. Li Xiaobai, Li Xiaobai, the water hasn't even boiled yet, and in such a short time, you've mentioned it three times, what's going on?

  "I didn't notice that you're actually quite meticulous." Xuran restored his smile, "It's okay, my home is in the city district, it won't take long by car."

  This wasn't him being meticulous, but rather the experience of being forced out by accompanying his cousin Tao Huan while shopping. Once she felt cold, the little girl would start shouting loudly, and over time, Li Xiaobai came to understand even though he didn't originally.

  But at this point, girls really are heartless.

  I recall a time when we went out together, and he was clearly cold, but Xiaoyu was wearing thick clothes and ignored him. Not only that, but also said something like "what's the big deal about this wind for boys with tough skin", just thinking about it makes me angry.

  "The bus has arrived, I'll go first, goodbye."

  Watching the taxi speed away, Li Xiaobai withdrew his gaze.

  It feels like this goodbye means we'll never see each other again. Otherwise, shouldn't we be saying "see you next week" or "see you at school"? Whatever, it's not like I'm one of those lovesick guys anyway.

  Standing on the road, being blown by the cool breeze, the intoxication was completely suppressed.

  But when I took a taxi back home, that dizzy feeling started to come up again.

  Afraid of being discovered by her parents, Li Xiaobai returned home and simply greeted them before rushing to the second floor bedroom.

  Song Kexin, I absolutely won't forgive you! Before falling asleep, Li Xiaobai let out one final roar.

  Li Xiaobai was woken up by the dazzling light in the room and Tao Huan's weight on him. When he woke up, he only felt a severe headache and his cheeks were slightly hot. Needless to say, this was really a sign of having a slight fever, and not because of shyness or anything.

  Compared to a minor cold, Tao Huan was much more troublesome as she straddled him. This had happened before - whenever he shouted a few times and found himself lying motionless on the couch, Tao Huan would climb onto his body and start teasing him. Her methods of teasing were varied and numerous: biting with her small tiger teeth, pinching, twisting, scratching, and tickling. After being teased like this, it was strange that he could still fall asleep.

  But today I really don't want to get up, okay?

  "You... you've been drinking... there's a strong smell of alcohol..."

  Tao Yuan covered her nose and said with a look of disgust.

  Shouldn't you be more concerned about whether I seem to have caught a cold?

  "Taoyuan, let's discuss something," said Li Xiaobai, looking at Taoyuan's rosy face. "Next time, can you not jump on me? When people are sleeping, their defenses are the weakest. If you suddenly press down on me and my quality is not up to par, I might get crushed."

  "Who told you not to get up?" Tao Yuan moved her gaze away, "Hurry up and get up, Auntie and the others are still waiting downstairs."

  "I'm not feeling well today, I don't want to go down and eat," although the intoxication has worn off, adults are much better at observing expressions than they are, so it's best to be careful. "Cousin, can you help me bring some food up here? I'll just eat in my room."

  "It can be," Tao Huan thought for a moment and nodded, "but you have to tell me what you did at noon and why you drank."

  No, absolutely not! If such a humiliating thing is revealed, where would brother's dignity be?

  Only afraid that by then, she would be even more unable to calm down the already unmanageable Tao Huan.

  "I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable now," said Li Xiaobai, "You'd better let me eat something first to calm down."

  "Then I'll go tell Aunt..."

  As she spoke, Tao Huan, who was riding on Li Xiaobai's back, was about to get up.

  If I were reported by the little girl, then I'd be done for.

  Thinking of this, Li Xiaobai was shocked in his heart and couldn't bear the pain. He didn't think twice, pressed his left hand on the ground, and sat up straight. His right hand wasn't idle either, directly wrapping around Xiao Yatou's waist, fearing that she would really run away.

  However, there was a slight deviation, as his right hand was too forceful, and Xiaoyao was just scaring him, only subconsciously making the motion without any strength. Under Li Xiaobai's pull, her body involuntarily fell towards him.

  One sat up, one leaned forward, and they happened to meet on a most suitable or unsuitable ground.

  Four eyes met, lips touched lips, and at this moment, time seemed to stand still.

  The girl let out a cry of "ah", and her pale cheeks were also filled with blushes.

  Along with the girl's scream, Li Xiaobai, who had reacted, directly pushed Tao Huan away.

  "You... you... I... I..." Tao Huan was so excited that she couldn't even finish her sentences.

  Li Xiaobai was very experienced in this regard, and this was a sign that the other party was excited or furious. He immediately tensed up his nerves and put his whole body on high alert.

  The anticipated tantrum from Xiao Yatou did not materialize, Tao Huan quickly got off Li Xiaobai's body and ran out without even closing the door.

  I won't go tell my parents, but what just happened was definitely an accident. Just like how I suddenly poured soup all over Ran at noon today. Some people only look at the outcome and not the process, so my parents wouldn't believe Tao Huan's one-sided words, right?

  However, he still kissed Tao Huan, and Li Xiaobai regretted it. He wasn't a foreigner, was it too much for heaven to make him greet his own cousin like this?

  Knock knock knock.

  Since the door was not closed, Li Xiaobai heard someone going upstairs.

  Everyone's footsteps are also different, some are steady and some are urgent.

  This footstep was already familiar to Li Xiaobai, it was his cousin's, and only hers.

  It's calling for oneself to go downstairs and accept judgment, if judgment is to be judged, then so be it. If one has already escaped once, escaping again would make one's luck too good? Using up all the good luck is also an extremely dangerous thing, rather than that, it's better to have an acceptable calamity arrive once. Of course, unacceptable calamities should roll far, far away.

  No need to knock on the door, of course. Without this buffer, Tao Huan walked in directly, but Li Xiaobai was able to sense that at the doorway, Xiao Yatou lingered for a while.

  Huh?

  He was holding a tray in his hand. On the tray were food and drink, as well as some cold medicine that they always kept at home.

  Little girl didn't say?

  Is it still like ancient times, improving one's diet before execution?

  But Li Xiaobai was completely unaware of all this. Tao Huan put down the dinner plate, didn't even glance at him, and left the room directly.

  It's really embarrassing, just when things were starting to look up with my cousin recently, something like this happens, Li Xiaobai feels helpless.

  At this time, another name floated into Li Xiaobai's mind.

  I won't rest until I've avenged this. But, it's not that serious, however, if I don't let the other person taste a bit of bitterness, she'll go on to harm others and that would be troublesome. From this point of view, I'm a good person.

  After dinner, Li Xiaobai took the dishes to the kitchen downstairs. When he went upstairs, he originally wanted to go to his cousin's room to apologize, but after knocking on the door, there was no response from inside.

  It's impossible to fall asleep so quickly, this girl is usually very spirited on weekends, but the other party didn't open the door, and Li Xiaobai couldn't do anything either. Helpless, he had no choice but to give up.

  But even if I were to apologize, it seems like I don't know what to say. After all, in the past, I hardly ever interacted with others. Not interacting means there's no need to apologize.

  Speaking out doesn't mean apologizing, it means you won't hurt others and are truly harmless.

  Lying on the couch, Li Xiaobai tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep.

  That kiss bothered him. Pouring water on Xu Ran's body made him bother. All of this, after all, has nothing to do with Song Ke Xin.

  Pick up, put down, put down, pick up.

  A real man should be able to pick up and put down.

  After comforting himself with a famous quote, Li Xiaobai quickly dialed a phone number.

  It wasn't until after I hung up that I realized it was already 10 o'clock, which is a relatively subtle time.

  However, once the call is made and even if it's hung up, the number will still be displayed on the other person's phone.

  In that case, it's better to take a slight risk once.

  It was unclear how long it had been ringing, but just as Li Xiaobai was about to hang up, the other party picked up.

  "Hey..."

  Normally, they would have said hello and their tone wouldn't be so cold. Apparently, they're also being cautious.

  "Alright then, I am Li Xiaobai."

  A girl of similar age called again, still taking the initiative, Li Xiaobai struggled to find the right words.

  "I know."

  If it were Xia Xiner who spoke in this tone, Li Xiaobai would think it's normal, but Xu Ran...Li Xiaobai didn't know whether to continue or not.

  "Excuse me, may I ask for your help?"

  "What?"

  "I'm being presumptuous in asking for your help, it's just that I couldn't think of anyone else..."

  On the phone, Li Xiaobai told his plan one by one. Of course, he wouldn't say the most important part. He only said what Xu Ran needed to do, so no matter what, she was just doing something ordinary.

  "Actually, I don't have much contact with them."

  This is actually the girl's polite refusal, but unfortunately, Li Xiaobai had limited experience interacting with girls and couldn't tell, so he said directly, "Don't worry, you can pay first, I'll return it to you later. No need, this weekend when we get back to school, I'll give you the money."

  It's not a matter of money. In a house in the city, a girl wearing a white nightgown walked to the window with her phone and murmured something.

  "Okay, I'll give it a try."

  Then he hung up the phone. (This chapter has some minor changes, but it doesn't affect the plot, you can skip it if you want. Thanks for your support.)
