After Transmigration, The Male Lead and I had a HE
chapter-220

Xie Xinglin was forced by Su Qiuge to take a bath.

While he was taking a bath, Su Qiuge rummaged through the cupboard of the small house. Using the dim light that illuminated the room from above, she cut the medicine packet with the scissors that she bought from the pharmacy. Then, she turned on the gas and proceeded to prepare the medicine. After turning on the light, she found out that although the house was small, the interior decoration was very warm.

He probably came here often.

The water in the kettle boiled. Su Qiuge mixed the hot water with some cold water before she added that to the bowl. After that, she stirred the contents with a spoon.

Su Qiuge also bought some hangover medicine just now, but the two medicines couldn’t be ingested at the same time, so she planned to give it to him later.

By the time she was done preparing the medicine, the sound of water in the bathroom had stopped. When Su Qiuge walked into the living room, she could see a layer of mist wafting out from the opened bathroom door. The living room’s lights weren’t turned on. Perhaps due to the fact that they were already used for a long period of time, there wasn’t any sort of reaction when Su Qiuge pressed the light switches— the light was faulty.

Her eyes gazed into the darkness, and only then did she realize that there seemed to be a shadow leaning on the sofa.

This shadow didn’t seem to have any presence and it even looked a little lonely in the dark environment.

She approached the shadow, and through the light from outside the balcony, she saw him leaning on the sofa, seemingly asleep.

His body exuded the clean and fresh scent of soap that was typically present after a shower. He also had a white towel draped over his head, which was to be used for drying his hair. The towel was draped over the top of his eyebrows slightly, but from this angle, she could see the bridge of the nose and his contoured jawline.

Su Qiuge approached him lightly, looked down at him for a moment and couldn’t help but lift the white towel up slightly, gently drying the water droplets off his hair. Then, she held her breath and looked down at him.

His eyelashes were very long. Looking from this angle, the bright moonlight outside made every lash of his stand out. His delicate facial features were picturesque and his tall nose bridge was clearly outlined by the light. Should she glance further downwards, she could see those excessively red lips.

Initially, Su Qiuge didn’t have any other motive and was simply worried that his hair wasn’t exactly dried, but for some reason, upon seeing this scene, she placed her finger on his lips unexpectedly.

And traced the lines of his lips little by little.

After she realized that she was behaving exactly like a perverted person who took advantage of others being unaware, she started trembling all over. She was just about to withdraw her hand when the person who was sleeping on the sofa opened his eyes.

His long eyelashes flicked upwards, like a butterfly breaking its cocoon, with a shocking beauty. The light from the outside fell on his black pupils. From this angle, the brows of his bones became more conspicuous, but the expression in his eyes was set off a little by his gloominess.

Su Qiuge looked at him for a moment, trying to explain herself embarrassedly. Who knew that the man merely stared at her for a while before he directly opened his mouth, latching onto her fingertips.

His dark eyes stared straight at her and the fingertips that were gently being sucked started to feel warm and moist. It was then that a wave of electric current spread from her fingertips to her limbs.

Su Qiuge held a deep breath and her eyelashes trembled, watching him lower his head and kiss her fingers one by one. The boy’s brows were clean and dark, looking very natural and pleasing to the eye, but he kissed her fingers so softly that she couldn’t help but shake.

She ended up hitting him, wanting to tell him to hurry up and cut it out, but she saw him slightly prop up his knees as he raised his eyelids, “Was Qiuqiu trying to do something to me while I was asleep?”

Before Su Qiuge could answer, she was turned around the next moment.

He directly pushed her whole body into a small corner of the sofa. Then, he angled himself up on the sofa and imprisoned her in a space that was supported by his arms. With this action, the water droplets on his hair fell onto Su Qiuge’s cheeks.

When he looked down at her, the fine and wet black hair draped above his deep eyebrows. His expression was hidden amidst the shadows, terrifyingly dark.

After a long time, he went closer to her ear and said in a hoarse voice, “Come on, then.”

When he spoke, his warm breath could be felt under her earlobe, bringing out an ambiguous blush from her cheeks.

Su Qiuge reacted for a moment before she said a little embarrassedly, “I didn’t; I just saw that you’ve fallen asleep and I wanted to dry your hair.”

Xie Xinglin looked down at her for a long time only to see her slightly flustered. The expression on his face seemed to portray a bit of disappointment before he slowly said, “Is that so…”
