Chapter 110 - Crawled
Chapter 110 – Crawled
Forcefully pulled out of her dreams, Lin Xiaofei opened her eyes wide. A deadly glint was in it as she stared in front of her with eyes still gleaming with tears.
Beads of sweat formed on her forehead like pearls slowly falling down to her temple and cheek.
Lin Xiaofei didn't know how long did she stay dazed after waking up. Her heartbeat was beating so fast that she could literally hear it in her ears.
"You woke up." She heard the voice of a man coming from above her head.
Slowly moving her head to look up, Lin Xiaofei saw Qu Xing Xu's handsome face looking down on her.
When Qu Xing Xu saw that she opened her eyes, he let out a soft sigh of relief through his nose and put his chin on top of her head.
Their position was too close as Qu Xing Xu was holding her tightly in his arms but the man didn't care as the only thing that was inside his mind was how he could make her stop crying and wake her up from her dreams.
"Was I asleep for too long?" Lin Xiaofei hoarsely said. Her voice came out weak and soft but Qu Xing Xu heard her clearly.
"Not too long." Qu Xing Xu lied. Lin Xiaofei had been sleeping for half an hour now.
Hearing his response, Lin Xiaofei had a blank look in her face as she looked dazedly at him. She still didn't realize that her hand was gripping on the lapel of his robe and she was sitting on top of his lap.
She didn't know what to think of as she tried to remember what she had just dreamed about. She knew that it was from her past life but the images that flashed through her vision weren't clear. It only provided her with vague images.
Suddenly, she felt something wet trailing down her cheeks and as she was about to touch it, she felt a warm thumb wiping it.
"Why are you crying again?" Qu Xing Xu voiced out in concern. He had seen her crying while her eyes close and seeing her tearing up with her eyes opened, he felt like his chest was being twisted by some unknown force.
"I don't know." Lin Xiaofei replied to him as she also didn't know what was going on with her eyes. Her nose felt sour and her tears continued to well up in her eyes.
Her dreams might have been quite sad and filled with regret but it shouldn't affect her in real life.
Feeling slightly disturbed at this, Lin Xiaofei tried to move but the seat under her felt quite different. It was both hard and soft. She could feel the warmth underneath her but what was weird was the fact that she was facing the window.
Noticing this difference from how she was seated on the chair earlier, Lin Xiaofei looked around and stiffened upon the discovery that she was actually not sitting on the chair inside the carriage.
But instead, she was sitting on top of a man's lap!
Sucking cold air through her mouth, Lin Xiaofei stunned, and s if she electrocuted, she stood up only to hit her head on something hard as a thumping sound soon came after.
A groan was also heard above her as Qu Xing Xu was caught off guard and felt a slight pain coming from his chin where Lin Xiaofei's head bumped into.
Thankfully, Qu Xing Xu held his tongue and didn't continue to talk as he might have already lost his tongue because of Lin Xiaofei's action.
He had never bit his tongue when he was riding a horse during a fierce battle against his enemies yet, he unexpectedly almost bit it because of Lin Xiaofei.
With a hand over the top of her head, Lin Xiaofei felt like she had just bumped it into a wall. Fresh tears started to make its way towards the corners of her eyes as she felt slightly dizzy.
She ended up sitting on top of his lap once again with a soft thump.
"Are you alright?" Qu Xing Xu put his hand on top of her head and started to rub where she was hurting.
Nodding her head, Lin Xiaofei asked him, "How did I end up sitting on top of you?"
It was strange that she was originally sitting on her chair before drifting off but after waking up, she suddenly found her sitting on top of his lap.
Still rubbing her head to ease the pain, Qu Xing Xu slightly paused as if he was thinking about what he should tell her.
In the end, he opened his mouth to say, "I don't know. You suddenly crawled your way to my lap." A mischievous smile was on his lips as he brazenly said that.
Blinking her eyes at him, Lin Xiaofei creased her eyebrows and almost choked on her saliva. She didn't believe him nor does she wanted to. This man before her was a twisted man with several tricks under his sleeves.
She wanted to tell him off and scold him but when she felt his other hand on her back still patting her softly, she stopped her intended actions altogether.
She looked at him strangely for a few seconds before she looked down again. Her thoughts were hidden from the expression on her face.
Worried that the collision earlier turned her silly for a little bit, Qu Xing Xu ruffled her hair, "Did it hurt too much? Let me take a look."
Without moving away, Lin Xiaofei let him touch her head carelessly. Her thoughts suddenly moved towards the part where she felt someone patting her back insides her dream.
Was it him? Lin Xiaofei thought as she continued to sit on top of him while Qu Xing Xu took great importance to look at her head to see if she was bleeding.
Aside from the small bump that he felt under his finger, nothing seemed to be a problem.
