Chapter 436 Inciting
Han Zixin brought An Xiulan to his place as she was drunk beyond words. She was talking gibberish all the way to his house. As he opened the door, he was carrying her on his shoulders and putting her lightly on the couch.
"Sit here and don't move, "Han Zixin said as he walked to the kitchen area to get her water. "Did you have a meal?"
"Did we have a meal?" An Xiulan asked, blinking her eyes and pointing her finger at herself. She smiled and giggled and said, "Baby, no! We didn't have a meal together. Shall we have a meal together?"
Han Zixin sighed. This little drunkard.
"How could we have a meal together?" An Xiulan giggled and asked, "You were so so far for me! Baby, why did you leave me alone? Didn't you even think of me? How will I leave without you? My heart was aching without your presence."
"I wasn't far from you, "Han Zixin said, coaxing her. "I'm with you. Look, I'm standing next to you."
An Xiulan sniffled her tears and mumbled, "If you are close to me, why are you not hugging me? Do you not love me anymore? Do you not wish to embrace me?"
"I do. I do, "Han Zixin said as he came closer to her and pulled her for a hug. For a few minutes, they kept hugging each other.
"Cheat Prince?" She said, tapping her stomach.
"I'm hungry, "An Xiulan muttered.
Han Zixin looked down at her and said, "What do you want to eat?"
"Chicken Noodles, "An Xiulan mumbled.
"I will get you that in some time, "Han Zixin said. "But you have to sit here and behave. Will you be able to do that?"
An Xiulan nodded her head like an obedient child.
When he went to the kitchen to cook noodles for her, An Xiulan jumped out off the couch and tiptoed to his bedroom. She was feeling hot in her work clothes. Moreover, she was smelling bad. Even though she was drunk, she cared a lot about her personal hygiene. She got under his shower and had a cold bath that made her hot body feel calm. Her clothes were dirty and she had no intention of wearing them. Since his towel was too big on her body, she wrapped it around herself.
Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were mischievous. She was not as drunk as she was initially but she was tipsy.
She had spent almost fifteen minutes in the bathroom and in the meantime, he had cooked noodles for her.
"Xiulan, where are you?" She heard Han Zixin's voice.
She put her palms on her mouth and reacted. "Oh, he can't know that I left the couch."
She ran towards the hall area, draped in a towel and sat back on the couch as if there was no milk smeared on the mouth of a cat who had been up to something.
Han Zixin who was holding the noodle bowl looked at the young woman draped in his towel and then at the wet bathroom slippers that she was wearing.
"Hi, "An Xiulan smiled her magic smile and he stared at her. "I didn't move from here."
"Of course, you didn't, "Han Zixin said. "Where are your clothes?"
An Xiulan pouted. "In the laundry basket."
"Next time lie properly, "Han Zixin told her.
An Xiulan just pouted.
"Have your food first, "Han Zixin said. She took a seat on the couch again and began eating. While eating she noticed that he was not looking at her side. He was looking at the wall but not at her.
Annoyed, she asked, "Han Zixin, is the wall prettier than your girlfriend?"
"Of course not, "Han Zixin quickly answered but didn't look at her.
"Then, why don't you say the same thing while looking at me?" An Xiulan asked him.
Han Zixin gulped but he brought his eyes to her face, not daring to look at her smooth shoulder that had been trying to imprint its image in his mind.
"Why aren't you looking at me?" An Xiulan asked him.
"Why don't you finish eating first?" Han Zixin asked.
"I'm done, "An Xiulan said, giving him the empty bowl.
"I will put it back in the kitchen, "Han Zixin said.
"No, put it on the table there, "An Xiulan said. "Look at me."
Han Zixin took a deep breath and met her gaze, "I can't look at you without imagining what's under the towel. It's hard for me to control my thoughts."
An Xiulan's eyes widened and her cheeks turned red as she heard him. "You pervert!"
"Yes, that's why I wasn't looking at you, "Han Zixin said. "But you make things so difficult for me."
She was lying on the couch with her head leaning against it in that white towel. To him, she was looking so inciting that he could not control his thoughts anymore. He wanted to pull that towel and see what was behind it. However, he knew that he could not do it. No matter what his body was urging him to do, it was not the right time.
"I'm going to the guest room, "Han Zixin said, moving away from her. "You take my room."
As he was moving forward, she held his hand. He turned back to find her staring at him with emotions that he dared not to decode. She merely raised her hands and understanding what she was trying to say, he bent and caught her in his arms.
Han Zixin carried her all the way to his room.

A/N: It has been a while. I hope you guys are doing fine. I have been writing this story for some days now. It feels so good to be back. I don't know if you guys are still here but I wanna say you guys mean a lot to me. I wanna applaud your patience. Past few days, I haven't been writing at all. Neither old stories nor new stories. I found out that I can't write anymore. It's been so hard as I don't know what to do to recover the lost creativity. I'm trying but I hope I will reach there.
Again, I love all of you.
Thank you so much for being here for me.

PS: Btw, it's my birthday tomorrow. Wish me luck!
