Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 854 The Young Master of the Richest Family X Iceberg Star Commander 13

In the end, Shen Xi did not choose to go back. His heart was full of concern for Bai Ci, which drove him to ask someone to take him directly to Bai Ci's residence.

Along the way, his thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess, Bai Ci's figure kept appearing in his mind, and he was guessing what scene he was about to see.

After arriving at the destination, the scene in front of him was quite different from what Shen Xi had expected. What came into view was not a spacious and luxurious room, but just an ordinary standard room.

The room was cold and deserted, without any living atmosphere that one would expect from a long-term residence. This made Shen Xi feel puzzled. According to common sense, the room should not be like this since Bai Ci had lived here for a long time.

Shen Xi walked slowly into the room and looked around. There were only a few sets of clothes hanging on the wall, as if they were just temporarily put aside. There was an unfinished glass of water on the table, and the ripples on the water had long since calmed down, as if it had been standing for a long time.

Apart from that, the entire room seemed to be forgotten by time, with no signs of more people living there.

Shen Xi's footsteps moved gently in the room, and finally his eyes fixed on a photo placed on the bedside table.

That was a photo he and Bai Ci took in a cafe. In the photo, the two of them were smiling brightly, and everything around them seemed to be frozen in that beautiful moment. Shen Xi's fingers gently stroked the photo frame, his eyes full of tenderness, and he couldn't help but fall into memories.

'I was wondering why I went back then, it turned out to be for this.'

He murmured softly, and every detail of that time kept emerging in his mind. Bai Ci's every frown and smile, every subtle movement, were playing in his mind like a movie.

"I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the cuter he becomes." Shen Xi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and sighed softly, trying to put these thoughts aside for the time being.

At this moment, the soldier who had just brought him in knocked politely on the door and handed him a set of toiletries. Shen Xi came to his senses and realized that without this set of toiletries, he would have trouble even washing himself tonight.

He took the toiletries, thanked the soldier, and walked to the window, looking out at the dark night sky. The night sky was dotted with stars, but they could not illuminate his thoughts about Bai Ci at the moment.

He knew that it was so late and he might not be able to wait for Bai Ci to come back, so he decided not to wait any longer and just go to bed.

Shen Xi walked to the bed and gently spread out the quilt that was originally folded neatly like a block of tofu.

This two-meter-wide bed seemed particularly empty at this moment. He lay down on it, his body sinking into the soft mattress.

The current season is not too hot, and the thickness of the quilt is just right. It does not make you feel stuffy when covering your stomach, but still keeps you warm.

Looking back on the afternoon, I only rested for more than an hour, and then hurried back to the main temple to deal with many complicated matters.

After a whole day of running around, Shen Xi felt very tired. His body seemed to have been drained of strength. Within a minute of lying in bed, his eyelids began to droop heavily, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he soon fell asleep.

Moreover, he slept very soundly, with his breathing even and steady, and he didn't notice at all that the door was gently opened and Bai Ci returned quietly.

He turned the doorknob gently, very gently for fear of making any sound.

The door slowly opened and he walked in sideways. He first took off his shoes carefully and placed them neatly at the door, then walked barefoot step by step into the house.

When his gaze fell on Shen Xi who was sleeping soundly on the bed, his originally slightly tired eyes instantly brightened up, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly uncontrollably, revealing an extremely gentle smile.

That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, dispelling all the fatigue in his body, and it also seemed to bring endless pampering.

He just stood there quietly, staring at Shen Xi, as if he wanted to imprint this moment deeply in his heart.

It took him a long while to come back to his senses. He tiptoed towards the bed, taking every step very carefully. The floor under his feet seemed to be infected by his gentleness. He did not make a sound for fear of disturbing Shen Xi's sweet dream.

He wanted to reach out and touch Shen Xi's face, but he pulled his hand back for fear of waking him up.

It was already around 3 a.m., and it was still dark. Moreover, Shen Xi was still fast asleep. He couldn't sleep in the same bed with someone without the other person's permission. After thinking it over, he went to the cupboard and moved a thick winter quilt to the end of the bed to serve as a mattress on the floor.

Just as Bai Ci was about to lie down on the makeshift "bed", Shen Xi on the bed seemed to be disturbed by something. His brows slightly furrowed, and he mumbled something vaguely.

Then he slowly opened his eyes.

The room was dim, with only a faint moonlight coming in from the window, outlining Bai Ci's familiar figure.

Shen Xi's consciousness was not yet fully awake. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and groped in the darkness, and his fingertips happened to touch Bai Ci's arm.

"Bai Ci..."

Shen Xi's voice was hoarse and hazy as if he had just woken up, "Why are you here..."

He pulled gently, and although the force was not strong, it made Bai Ci stagger and almost fall on the bed. Bai Ci steadied himself, looked at Shen Xi with some embarrassment and some surprise, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Shen Xi was now completely awake. He saw clearly that the person in front of him was indeed Bai Ci, whom he had been thinking about all the time. The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up, revealing a faint smile. He pulled Bai Ci's hand hard and said, "Don't sleep on the floor. Come up and sleep with me."

His tone was a bit coquettish, but also contained a tone that could not be refused.

Bai Ci's heartbeat suddenly quickened. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "I'm afraid of waking you up, and..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Xi interrupted him: "What's there to be afraid of? I'm awake, come up quickly."

As he spoke, he moved closer to the bed, leaving more than half of the space empty, and patted the bed next to him, motioning Bai Ci to come up.

Seeing that he hadn't made any move, Shen Xi threatened him directly: "If you mind, you sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor. You've been out all day and have worked hard. You shouldn't sleep on the floor anyway."

I have to say that this threat was indeed effective. It immediately broke down Bai Ci's psychological defenses.

"OK then."

He carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, his movements as gentle as if he was handling a rare treasure, and then slowly lay down.

The two of them lay side by side, and for a moment, the room was so quiet that the only sound they could hear was each other's breathing.

Shen Xi turned slightly to face Bai Ci, the moonlight shining on his face, outlining a soft outline.

Bai Ci turned his head and met Shen Xi's eyes. They smiled at each other, and the smile was full of tenderness and attachment.
