Summer Kiss

Chapter 142 Coaxing her to sleep
Fu Xicheng didn't get angry but laughed. He really enjoyed bickering with Jiang Yuning and watching her get angry but unable to win against him. She looked adorable like that.

He looked at her, a teasing smile curving his eyes. "Ningning, now that I'm awake, are you sure you can move my body?"

Fu Xicheng's words are so infuriating, what should I do?
She wanted to punch him!

Jiang Yuning reached for a pillow and threw it forcefully at Fu Xicheng.

"Fu Xicheng, can't you just give in to me? I'm not talking to you anymore."

Jiang Yuning stood up and walked to the door.

Suddenly, Fu Xicheng's voice came from behind.

"Ningning, do you want to know how to fall asleep quickly?"

Jiang Yuning stopped and turned to look at him. In the darkness, she couldn't see his eyes, but she could vaguely make out his figure.

She was in a state of confusion and couldn't calm down. All she wanted to do was fall asleep quickly.

Jiang Yuning asked, "What method? Tell me quickly."

Fu Xicheng finally let out a laugh he had been holding back for a long time; he wasn't joking.

"Sleep in the same bed with me, and you'll be able to fall asleep with me by your side."

Jiang Yuning's eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief. Without thinking, she rushed to Fu Xicheng's side and punched him several times.

"Fu Xicheng, listen to yourself! Are you even speaking human language? You want me to sleep in the same bed with you? I'll kill you right now."

Fu Xicheng seemed unaware of his mistake, and continued, "We were just sleeping, we weren't doing anything else."

Jiang Yuning: "..."

Jiang Yuning felt a surge of anger. Judging from Fu Xicheng's tone, did he want to do something else?

That shameless bastard of a man is always trying to take advantage of her.

She calmed herself down and turned on the bedroom light.

The bright lights shone on Fu Xicheng's face, making his features appear even more defined.

Jiang Yuning stared straight at him. "Fu Xicheng, put on your shoes right now and leave my house."

Fu Xicheng's handsome face immediately turned serious. He blinked and said, "Ningning, don't kick me out. I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Fu Xicheng lowered his eyes and began to reflect on his mistakes. "I was wrong to say those dirty things to you, Ningning. It's past one in the morning. Do you really have the heart to kick me out?"

"What if I run into bad guys outside and they kidnap me?"

Jiang Yuning just smiled faintly. These days, people are all catching pretty young women. Who would bother catching a man if they had nothing better to do?

Fu Xicheng must have something wrong with his brain.

"In the middle of the night, what idiot would grab a strong and muscular man? With your tall and imposing figure, they'd be so scared they'd wet their pants if they saw you."

He wouldn't scare them to death, but he'd scare them so much they'd never dare go out at night again.

"Ningning, now is not the time to talk nonsense. You should go to sleep now. You have to get up for work tomorrow."

"You know, Fu Xicheng, if I can't get up tomorrow, it will definitely be your fault."

Fu Xicheng got up from the bed and walked to her side.

He said softly, "Go lie down on the bed, I'll tell you a story to lull you to sleep, and then I'll go back to sleep."

tell a story?
Jiang Yuning pondered to herself, fearing that the more Fu Xicheng told her the story, the more sober she would become.

"Fu Xicheng, don't worry about me, just go to sleep."

How could he abandon his girlfriend? Was he that kind of person? Fu Xicheng smiled faintly, "If Ningning can't sleep, how can I sleep peacefully?"

Jiang Yuning ignored Fu Xicheng behind her and returned to her room.

Fu Xicheng did not hesitate and quietly followed Jiang Yuning into the room. He squatted by the bed and gently covered Jiang Yuning's eyes with his hands.

"Don't move." His voice was deep and gentle, like a spring breeze.

Jiang Yuning stiffened, her eyes filled with a warm glow—the warmth of Fu Xicheng's palm.

She felt a warm current welling up in her heart. Jiang Yuning closed her eyes, feeling the warmth from Fu Xicheng's palm. Gradually, drowsiness came over her, and she finally drifted off to sleep.

...

The next morning, golden sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and fell on Jiang Yuning's pillow.

Jiang Yuning opened her sleepy eyes and found that Fu Xicheng was no longer there.

She stretched, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and saw that it was almost seven o'clock.

She hurriedly got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom for her usual washing and grooming.

After washing up, she saw that Fu Xicheng had placed breakfast on the table.

Seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the table, Jiang Yuning wanted to complain to Fu Xicheng for not calling her, but she didn't say it out loud.

"Fu Xicheng," she called softly, her voice tinged with a hint of reproach.

Fu Xicheng raised his head, a discerning glint in his eyes, clearly indicating that he knew what she was about to say.

He explained, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you. I estimated the time in my mind, and even if you got up now, you wouldn't be late."

A warm feeling welled up in Jiang Yuning's heart. "You're always so thoughtful."

"You're the person I want to spend my life with. If I'm not good to you, who will be? Ningning, let's eat first."

Jiang Yuning sat down at the dining table and began to eat.

Fu Xicheng ate quickly. He quietly left the table, went to Jiang Yuning's room, opened the window, and then folded her blankets.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Yuning searched everywhere for Fu Xicheng.

When she entered the bedroom, she found Fu Xicheng standing by the window, lost in thought.

Her eyes held a hint of surprise. "You folded my blanket."

Fu Xicheng turned around and nodded slightly. "Yes, this will save time."

After saying that, he walked out of the bedroom and, under Jiang Yuning's gaze, began to clear the dishes from the table.

Jiang Yuning stepped forward, wanting to help him tidy up.

Fu Xicheng didn't want Jiang Yuning to get involved, so he refused her help.

"From now on, I'll take care of everything, so you won't need to lift a finger. Ningning, sit on the sofa and look at your phone for a while. I'll take you to the company after I'm done tidying up."

Jiang Yuning nodded. She sat on the sofa, her eyes fixed on Fu Xicheng's busy figure even though her phone screen was lit up.

Fu Xicheng stood in the kitchen, his back slightly bent, his long arms outstretched, skillfully washing the oil-stained dishes and chopsticks.

From behind, he appeared extremely focused and composed.

The sunlight streamed in, casting a soft golden glow on his profile.

Jiang Yuning tossed her phone onto the sofa, stood up, and quietly approached Fu Xicheng.

She tiptoed and, with a light and graceful movement, whispered a kiss into his ear.

Fu Xicheng turned his head, a smile playing on his lips. "Ningning, I don't mind if you go a little deeper."
