Chapter 356: Chapter 356
Li Buyan kept his upper body far away as he quickly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his firm chest and abs.
The shirt was difficult to remove from Li Xingle’s body, and Li Buyan, who had just been captivated by his physique, almost froze before turning to leave.
"Go to sleep now!"
Li Xingle stumbled as he got up behind him.
Li Buyan hadn’t reached the guest room yet and instinctively looked back to find that Li Xingle was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking from a bottle again.
Is this man really going head-to-head with alcohol tonight?
Li Buyan strode over. The floor-to-ceiling window began to patter with rain. Li Xingle, with his bare upper body, had none of his usual playboy charm; instead, there was a trace of sadness in his brows.
"Fine, take the guest room. Now can you stop drinking?" Li Buyan stood by his side, "Who are you trying to impress with this deep act in the middle of the night?"
"Sit down and keep me company!"
"I don’t want to!" Li Buyan turned to leave, but Li Xingle swiftly grabbed her ankle, looking up at her, "Little Li, stay with me..."
Beautiful tears dotted his face, as if pleading, a rare sight of vulnerability from Li Xingle.
Her heart softened, and since he was holding her with his heated hand and she couldn’t move for the moment, she just sat down.
"Drink?"
Li Buyan looked at the bottle, "I don’t drink."
"A good student, listening to your parents!" Li Xingle laughed self-deprecatingly, "I never had parents to listen to. I’ve been alone since I was little. I just wish someone would care for me!"
No parents?
"Are you an orphan?" Li Buyan never knew about Li Xingle’s family background.
"Not quite! They say my old man is still alive, living happily with his family and successful in his career, but it has nothing to do with me!"
"How could it be? He’s your father!" Li Buyan still didn’t understand, "He doesn’t want you?"
"I’m the illegitimate child from a one-night stand, not exactly a badge of honor. Of course, he wouldn’t want me!" Li Xingle said, gulping down his drink.
Li Buyan suddenly stood up and snatched the bottle from him, "No more drinking! You threw up so badly just now, and you still want to drink!"
"You care about me? Do you want to be my girlfriend?" Li Xingle’s usually fair and handsome face was flushed, and he leaned in, reeking of alcohol.
Li Buyan held the bottle tightly and leaned back, "You’re overthinking it. I don’t want to take care of you! There are plenty of women who would."
"They only like my money. If I had no money, no one would care about me!" Li Xingle laughed self-deprecatingly, staring at the rain-soaked floor-to-ceiling window. Suddenly, he fell straight back, lying on the cold floor.
Li Buyan turned her head to look at him, "Sleeping like this will make you catch a cold!"
"Who said I was sleeping?" Li Xingle had his eyes closed, drunk, but he didn’t feel sleepy at all.
Li Buyan had just put the bottle down beside her when a hand grabbed the back of her shirt and yanked her down. She fell onto him.
Just when she thought she would hit the cold floor, she landed on his chest.
Her cheek was pressed against his heart, and she could feel the strong, rapid heartbeat.
His heart was beating so fast!
And his body was so hot!
Indeed, drunk men have a strong fire.
"Li Xingle, let go of me! If you’re not sleeping, I want to sleep!" She struggled, trying to get up.
Even though they had been intimate before, the current closeness still made her uncomfortable.
