Chapter 8 Soft Lips

Chapter 8 Soft Lips

A few minutes later, the secretary came in with cookies and milk.

Sheng Ai naturally assumed that Sheng Xiyang's fawning was because he was hungry and thirsty, so he had the secretary bring some snacks to let Xiyang have something to eat first.

After all, Sheng Xiyang had indeed skipped breakfast.

Xiyang looked at the cookies and milk but wasn't quite daring enough to eat them, fearing that if he did, he might be done for. However, after much deliberation, he concluded that Sheng Ai had no reason to harm him, as he was now just an uneducated young master, with all the money and power in Sheng Ai's hands. What did he have to fight over with Xiyang?

With this thought, Xiyang felt reassured.

Moreover, he believed he was pretty good at judging people, and Sheng Ai was just... a pushover.

Xiyang ate a cookie and took a sip of milk, still with milk on his lips, then asked Sheng Ai, "Big brother, if you get tired later, let's play a game."

Sheng Ai glanced up at Xiyang.

Xiyang immediately said, "Don't mind me; go ahead with your work."

Then he went to the side to read Dream of the Red Chamber.

Once Sheng Ai started working, he would lose track of time. If not for the secretary knocking on the door to remind him it was time for lunch, Sheng Ai wouldn't have noticed that it was almost afternoon.

When he looked up, he saw Xiyang lying on the small sofa in the office, with Dream of the Red Chamber having fallen to the ground at some point.

Xiyang had fallen asleep.

Sheng Ai slowly stood up and walked to the office door, opening it slightly to whisper to the secretary that he would eat later.

The secretary, noticing Sheng Ai speaking softly, glanced into the office and saw Xiyang lying on the sofa.

For a moment, the secretary's expression was somewhat complicated.

This young master usually did nothing but eat and sleep or disturb the eldest master's work. It was truly annoying.

But what could they do; he was still the young master.

The secretary left, and Sheng Ai gently closed the door.

He turned around and looked at Xiyang lying on the sofa, one hand hanging down.

Sunlight faintly streamed in from the window, casting a glow on Xiyang's eyelashes. Sheng Ai had never noticed how long Xiyang's lashes were before; he only remembered others saying that Xiyang didn't resemble him.

Sheng Ai walked to Xiyang's side and slightly bent down, intending to lift Xiyang's hand back onto the sofa, worried it might go numb when he woke up.

However, before his hand touched Xiyang's hand,

Xiyang suddenly raised his hand, swiped away Sheng Ai's glasses, turned over, and continued sleeping without any awareness.

Sheng Ai's glasses were now hooked on Xiyang's hand, unnoticed by him.

Sheng Ai: "..."

His vision became blurry due to his severe myopia.

Without his glasses, he was practically blind.

Sheng Ai reached forward and touched Xiyang's face, then moved downward, touching Xiyang's lips.

The softness of the touch made Sheng Ai quickly retract his hand.

In his entire life, he had never touched anyone's lips, not knowing that Xiyang's lips were so soft, despite his fiery temper.

Just touching the lips felt so soft; he couldn't imagine what it would feel like in movies when lips touched lips...

As this thought crossed his mind, Sheng Ai finally felt the glasses hanging on Xiyang's hand.

He quickly grabbed the glasses and put them on, lowering his eyes to see Xiyang already awake, blinking his puppy-like eyes, staring at him steadily.
