Chapter 253: Chapter 252 Complicated Thoughts (4th Update)

38th Parallel!

Watching Bai Zhiqing’s actions, Lu Tianxing suddenly remembered how he and his classmates used to draw a ”38th Parallel” across the desk with a small knife back in his childhood, declaring that no one was allowed to cross that line, or else they deserved the punishment without telling the teacher.

”You better behave yourself and don’t cross this line, or you’ll bear the consequences.”

Bai Zhiqing pulled out a pair of cold, gleaming scissors from under the pillow, waved them around twice, then hid them back under the pillow.

Staring at the 38th Parallel in front of him, Lu Tianxing recalled the flash of the cold scissors and finally sighed, turning his back to Bai Zhiqing and laying down to sleep. It looked like he couldn’t be a ”beast” today, but rather a beast that couldn’t quite live up to the name.

Watching Lu Tianxing turn his back and lie down, Bai Zhiqing rolled over too but didn’t fall asleep. Instead, she pricked up her ears and listened closely to the movements of Lu Tianxing beside her. Unfortunately, even after a while, Lu Tianxing didn’t make a peep. All that came through was the sound of his even breathing.

”Could this damned jerk have found his conscience?”

A thought flashed through Bai Zhiqing’s mind, which she quickly shook off. She’d rather believe that dogs can change their habit of eating crap, or that sows had learned to climb trees than believe Lu Tianxing had become an upright gentleman. This guy must be pretending to sleep and waiting for her to let down her guard and doze off before he made his inappropriate move.

For a while, Bai Zhiqing felt troubled, wanting to turn over and see whether Lu Tianxing was feigning sleep or really sleeping; yet she feared that he was lying in wait like a wide-mouthed predator, ready for her—the little white rabbit—to willingly hop into his trap.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing had already fallen into sleep, and Bai Zhiqing, now facing a multitude of crises, needed to seize the time to rejuvenate her spirit to cope with all the looming troubles.

Time trickled by, and the entire bedroom was unusually quiet.

Finally, Bai Zhiqing couldn’t stand it any longer. She slowly turned over, squinting her eyes until only a sliver was open, and peeked at Lu Tianxing.

She froze. Lu Tianxing, just like a baby, had a faint smile on his lips and had long since fallen into a deep sleep.

”This damn jerk, having a beautiful woman by his side and still being able to fall asleep so quickly, is nothing but a pig, a lazy, gluttonous pig.”

Bai Zhiqing muttered to herself, unsettled by the sight of Lu Tianxing’s childish slumber.

Suddenly, Bai Zhiqing realized she couldn’t fully understand Lu Tianxing. His composure today, the chilling aura he exuded, made him seem like a completely different person, an utter stranger. Yet this ”stranger” had saved her life and Bai’s Group time and again.

All at once, a feeling arose in Bai Zhiqing’s heart. Having a man by her side didn’t seem to be without its benefits: at the very least, he could provide help, comfort, and courage when she was lonely and helpless, and willingly become her source of joy and her outlet for frustration when she was angry and unhappy.

Bai Zhiqing’s heart was in turmoil—especially considering that Lu Tianxing had many women outside and even had a dubious, flirtatious relationship with Lin Qianru at the company.

”Am I not a competent wife if I don’t even understand my own husband?”

Bai Zhiqing murmured to herself, gazing at the sleeping face of Lu Tianxing, and suddenly felt an impulse to kiss him.

Remembering the scene in the bathroom where they kissed, the thought was irresistible for Bai Zhiqing. Looking at Lu Tianxing, her body leaned down uncontrollably, and she lightly kissed his lips like a dragonfly skimming across water, intoxicated by a faint scent of tobacco.

”Swoosh!”

Lu Tianxing stirred slightly, and Bai Zhiqing turned around like a startled rabbit, twisting quickly to face away from Lu Tianxing, daring not to move at all, feeling her cheeks burning frightfully hot, her heartbeat speeding up—a fluster as if a misdeed had been caught by its master.

”Bai Zhiqing, what’s wrong with you? How could you kiss that jerk? So embarrassing. Thankfully, that jerk didn’t notice, otherwise, he would have laughed himself to death.”

Bai Zhiqing touched her cheeks, feeling her entire face burning hot, as red as blooming roses.

If others from Bai’s Group were to see this, they would go insane, since when did their icy goddess take the initiative to kiss a man, and even learned to blush? Wasn’t the icy goddess always as cold as ever, disdainful of everything?

”Could it be that I’ve fallen for this pervert?”

A thought flashed through Bai Zhiqing’s mind, and she quickly shook her head, repeatedly refuting herself in her heart: ”Impossible, I couldn’t possibly like him. It must be because this pervert saved me today, so I kissed him as a way of thanks, yes, that’s it. How could I fall for a pervert?”

Bai Zhiqing continued to comfort herself, yet her body involuntarily turned over to quietly observe Lu Tianxing’s profile. In this moment, she felt an unprecedented peace in her heart.

...

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains, Lu Tianxing was already awake, looking at Bai Zhiqing with a face full of vexation.

At this time, Bai Zhiqing had lost all the cold aloofness she had at the company. Her head rested on his chest, one arm wrapped around his arm, her slender, beautiful legs resting carelessly on top of him, a faint fragrance wafting from her body.

Looking at Bai Zhiqing, who was sound asleep on his chest, Lu Tianxing unexpectedly felt not the slightest bit of desire. His fingers gently traced the tips of Bai Zhiqing’s hair, the corners of his mouth lifted in a faint smile. Perhaps, this was Bai Zhiqing at her calmest, most genuine, and most carefree.

Letting Bai Zhiqing cling to him, Lu Tianxing made no movements, quietly holding her while staring at the ceiling, wondering what was on his mind.

If Lin Qianru, Rose, and other women were to see this scene, Lu Tianxing could imagine they would be in stitches. Since when did a lecher not react at all when faced with warm, fragrant, tender beauty in his arms? This was absolutely unscientific.

Not to mention others disbelieving it, even Lu Tianxing himself found it hard to believe. Faced with such a tempting beauty in his embrace, he was unruffled. If it weren’t for the early morning physiological reminder that he was still very much male, he might have been tempted to rush into the bathroom to verify a few things.

”Mmmhm!”

Suddenly, Bai Zhiqing moved, and Lu Tianxing started, quickly closing his eyes, guessing that Bai Zhiqing was about to wake up.

As soon as Lu Tianxing closed his eyes, Bai Zhiqing immediately opened hers. She raised her arm and unconsciously rubbed her eyes, looking dazedly at the close presence of Lu Tianxing.

”Ah!”

After a moment, a piercing scream shattered the room’s tranquility.
