Chapter 175: A Gentle Kiss
Chapter 175: A Gentle Kiss
The big shot who had too much to drink not only behaved like a child but also slept in a child-like position.
Not only did he embrace Bai Lu, but he also buried his face in her neck, and the slightest movement of his eyelashes could be felt.
Knowing it was an unconscious act, Bai Lu's heartbeat couldn't help but slightly accelerate, contrasting with his steady heartbeat resonating from his chest.
Truly a troublesome little rascal!
Bai Lu dug her face out of the neck hollow, smiling earnestly, "I'm really not angry."
Xiao Cheng looked at her seriously.
He responded with an "Oh" and buried his face again.
Bai Lu: "..."
The breath sprayed at close range, sweeping back and forth on the neck. When the slightly cool and soft lips accidentally touched the neck, a faint scent of alcohol dispersed in the thin air.
The rising temperature of the intoxicating breath quickly spread throughout the room, casting an ambiguous hue over the night.
Under the interweaving of moonlight and lamplight, the blurry shadow of lips gradually moved upward from the neck.
It reached the fair as jade chin.
As the slightly cool and soft lips fell, Bai Lu suddenly woke up, pushing away Xiao Cheng's face that was pressing down.
"Oh, I bought a new pillow for you. Take a look and see if you like it."
After pushing Xiao Cheng away, Bai Lu quickly got off the bed, went to the wardrobe, and took out the new pillow she had bought in the afternoon.
Turning around, she saw that Xiao Cheng was still maintaining the posture she pushed him into, elbow on the bed, half lying down.
When he saw her approaching, he only reluctantly sat up.
Sitting outside with his back against the head of the bed, he stared at her with a faint gaze, never blinking.
As if walking through the flames, Bai Lu hurried to the bedside, smiling as she placed the new pillow in Xiao Cheng's arms.
With one hand, she took out her own pillow, turned it over, and unzipped it.
She took out the brand-new, hot bank card.
Handing it to Xiao Cheng, "Now that you have a new pillow, you can put the bank card in there. No need to keep it with me anymore."
Xiao Cheng looked at the card in Bai Lu's hand, then shifted his gaze to her face, furrowing his brows.
Still holding the pillow that she had just stuffed, he didn't move.
Apparently, he was reluctant to accept the bank card.
Sighing, Bai Lu sat down on the edge of the bed, took Xiao Cheng's pillow, turned it over, unzipped it, carefully tucked the bank card inside, and then placed the pillow back in Xiao Cheng's arms.
"There you go."
While it was hidden, Bai Lu felt it was necessary to remind him, "Keeping the bank card in the pillow is not safe. Find a better place to hide it tomorrow, or better yet, keep it on yourself. No, it's safer in your own wallet."
Bai Lu thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Do you have a wallet? If not, I'll buy you one."
Xiao Cheng shook his head, "No."
Assertively, he said, "You buy for me."
Bai Lu wiped her face, showing an expression of disbelief, "Do you really not have a wallet?"
It couldn't be possible.
Big shots weren't entry-level workers just starting in society.
The rewards for working for the big boss were not small. Without a wallet, where would he put his money? A sack?
Seeing Bai Lu's distrustful eyes, Xiao Cheng got angry and threw the pillow aside, taking out all his belongings from the pockets of his clothes.
Five, ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred... The pile of money added up to at least a thousand yuan.
Indeed, he didn't have a wallet. Besides money, there was only money. He didn't even have a cigarette or a lighter. Bai Lu didn't know if he had finished smoking and didn't have time to buy more, or if he bought some but didn't bring them with him.
However, Bai Lu hadn't seen Xiao Cheng smoke recently, and she hadn't smelled the tobacco scent on him.
"Lulu, buy me a wallet," Xiao Cheng suddenly spoke, reminding Bai Lu again.
Looking at his face that would get angry if she didn't buy, Bai Lu reluctantly nodded, "Okay, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
The child was finally satisfied.
Leisurely organizing the money on the bed, one by one, neatly stacked. When he reached a twenty yuan bill...
Something small shook off.
Bai Lu picked it up and looked at it carefully, confirming it several times. Finally, she was sure.
"This is my hair clip."
Xiao Cheng didn't deny it and admitted directly, "Yes, Lulu's hair clip."
Bai Lu pinched the small black hair clip with a puzzled look, "But when I cut your hair before, didn't you already return it to me? I only put one hair clip in your pocket at that time... No, maybe when changing clothes, I accidentally knocked another hair clip off the table, picked it up, and..."
"It seems like I put it in your pocket casually." Bai Lu couldn't remember clearly about such a long time ago.
However, "Both hair clips are in your pocket. Why did you only return one when cutting your hair?"
Bai Lu looked at Xiao Cheng, who was picking up money with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Cheng didn't lift his head, and he answered matter-of-factly, "You didn't say you wanted both."
Bai Lu: "..."
Communicating with a child required very stable emotions, as well as an immense amount of tolerance and understanding.
No problem, this was her strength.
Not at all angry.
Xiao Cheng neatly arranged the money, looking up at Bai Lu, he asked, "Are you still buying clothes?"
"What clothes?" Bai Lu didn't follow his mental leap to outer space.
Xiao Cheng looked at Bai Lu's light and thin knitted sweater, "The clothes you wear."
The light-colored sweater on Bai Lu wasn't thick, nor was it too thin. It was a conservative style.
Actually, nothing could be seen, but being stared at by Xiao Cheng for so long, she felt a bit embarrassed.
"No need to buy more. You've already bought me two sets of dresses and a coat, enough to wear."
"No pajamas." Xiao Cheng brought up the type of clothing deliberately ignored by Bai Lu.
Bai Lu didn't have pajamas and always used sweaters as pajamas. When it was cold, she wore thick ones; when it was neither hot nor cold, she wore thin ones, just like now, "No need to specially buy pajamas. What I'm wearing now is pajamas."
Xiao Cheng corrected, "A sweater is not pajamas."
"Right, right, you're right." Bai Lu didn't want to argue with a child, "Next time I have time, I'll go buy pajamas on the street, real pajamas."
But Xiao Cheng said, "The clothes on the street don't match you."
Bai Lu raised her eyebrows in surprise, seeing a profound and mysterious expression on Xiao Cheng's face. The clearly revealed deep eyes also seemed to have recovered a trace of clarity.
This... Did the big shot recover?
"Sao Cheng?"
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Cheng on the opposite side furrowed his brows, "Call me Ah Cheng!"
Bai Lu: "..."
Okay, she thought too much.
"Ah Cheng."
Satisfied, Xiao Cheng nodded, holding money in his left hand and gently holding Bai Lu's soft hand in his right.
"I will buy better clothes for Lulu."
Bai Lu lifted her gaze slightly, meeting Xiao Cheng's serious eyes and earnest tone, feeling a slight tremor in her heart.
Grandpa had once told her to live well no matter what circumstances she faced. External possessions didn't matter; surviving was the essence of life.
She had always remembered that. In the struggle for survival, those who adapted to the times survived. Without the ability to change the era, adapt to the era in a way she could accept.
Strive to become a better version of herself so that when they meet again, she won't disappoint anyone.
She had never thought about using a better way to treat herself, but Xiao Cheng not only thought about it...
He also did it.
