LITTLE SEA OTTER BECAME POPULAR 110

Chapter 110: Extra 13

The voice speaking from under the covers was muffled, deeper and huskier than usual. Qiao Dai listened to Cheng Su’s words by her ear, and perhaps due to lack of oxygen, her vision suddenly blurred.

Sensing that the person in his arms had stopped moving and the hand tightly gripping the corner of the quilt had loosened, Cheng Su lifted the quilt. Fresh air instantly brushed against his face, making him involuntarily take a deep breath, and his body relaxed.

Cheng Su reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. The warm light slowly illuminated the entire bedroom. The light and shadows on the wall flickered like gently leaping candlelight, reflecting the fluctuating light in Cheng Su and Qiao Dai’s eyes, resembling a restless sea with rolling waves.

“What are you thinking about?”

After turning on the light, Cheng Su propped himself up on his elbows and looked at Qiao Dai. The quilt slid down his body, and the light passed over him, outlining the man’s strong contours. Even through his clothes, one could sense the well-proportioned, powerful muscles hidden beneath.

Qiao Dai, whose mind had been wandering, just came back to her senses and saw Cheng Su lying next to her. Just one glance made her quickly avert her gaze as if she had been burned. She mumbled softly, “I’m wondering if you’re just trying to make me happy.”

Hearing Qiao Dai’s words, Cheng Su raised an eyebrow, not speaking immediately.

The warm light danced on his face, making his expression seem unreadable. He didn’t know what he was thinking, but the man frowned as if in exasperation and flicked Qiao Dai’s forehead lightly.

Qiao Dai had been burying herself under the covers, and the thin air inside had made her face flush slightly. Her clear, bright eyes shimmered under the warm light, as if they had been bathed in a clear stream, sparkling and captivating.

Cheng Su just quietly watched Qiao Dai without speaking.

Seeming to sense the man’s gaze, Qiao Dai lying on the bed subconsciously raised her chin a few degrees, looking at Cheng Su, waiting for him to speak.

Qiao Dai looked at Cheng Su unguardedly, her snow-white skin showing a warm paleness under the light. The hazy light made her face look soft and beautiful, like a bouquet of delicate flowers on the windowsill in the afternoon, with golden light falling on the petals, the edges blurring as if merging with the spring scenery outside the window.

Her slender, soft hands rested gently on Cheng Su’s chest. Through the thin fabric, Cheng Su could clearly feel the warmth of Qiao Dai’s palms.

Cheng Su quickly grabbed Qiao Dai’s slender wrist. His sudden movement made Qiao Dai’s eyes flinch subconsciously. Before she could react, Cheng Su swiftly leaned down and kissed her lips.

The domineering aura belonging to the man instantly enveloped Qiao Dai, so forceful that it gave her the illusion of being crushed, like being swept away by a storm, or caught in a turbulent whirlpool, making her involuntarily gasp softly.

“Hmm?”

In this intimate kiss, Qiao Dai seemed to hear Cheng Su whisper her name in her ear, allowing her to slightly withdraw from the ambiguous atmosphere and regain some reason. Her soft voice carried a hint of huskiness as she uttered a single syllable, as if asking a question.

Hearing Qiao Dai’s voice, Cheng Su slowly eased his strength. He released Qiao Dai and looked down at the girl in his arms, his deep voice saying, “But not necessarily.”

This cryptic sentence stunned Qiao Dai. She was about to ask Cheng Su what he meant when the man’s deep voice sounded above her, “If it’s you, I can also try to make you happy.”

Qiao Dai was an exception.

He wasn’t a patient person. Even with elders, he could be respectful but never truly intimate.

If someone had told him in the past that he would patiently coax someone, he would have thought it was a joke. But if that person was Qiao Dai, perhaps he could also put aside his temper and try his best to make her happy.

After saying this, he lowered his head and kissed Qiao Dai’s face, trailing down to behind her ear, whispering, “That’s enough for today.”

Cheng Su reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, pulling the quilt over Qiao Dai. In the darkness, Qiao Dai couldn’t quite tell where the man’s voice was coming from, only hearing his deep voice echoing in the air, as if right next to her ear, saying, “Silly girl is tired.”

Hearing Cheng Su say this, Qiao Dai immediately pushed him under the covers, both embarrassed and annoyed, her soft voice mixed with a hint of anger as she whispered, “I was going to sleep anyway!”

It wasn’t as if Cheng Su hadn’t provoked her, so why was he acting as if he was afraid she was unhappy?

But no matter what Qiao Dai said, it now sounded as pale and weak as an excuse after being angered and embarrassed. In the end, Qiao Dai simply stopped talking, turning over and covering herself with the quilt, deciding to ignore the annoying Cheng Su.

Deep drowsiness washed over her like a tide. After turning over, Qiao Dai’s consciousness quickly became hazy. In a daze, she seemed to hear Cheng Su getting up. She wanted to ask him where he was going, but before the words left her mouth, she fell into a deep sleep.

…

At six in the morning, Qiao Dai’s alarm clock rang on time.

Qiao Dai turned over and bumped into Cheng Su’s arms. She subconsciously rubbed her cheek against the man’s chest a couple of times before hazily opening her eyes. The sunlight made her eyes squint, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover them.

After a while, Qiao Dai’s eyes gradually adjusted to the light in the room. She slowly opened her eyes, but didn’t get up immediately, instead staring blankly at the ceiling for a moment.

“What time is it?”

Cheng Su was also woken by the alarm. He pinched his brow, his voice slightly hoarse after just waking up.

Qiao Dai took out her phone to check the time. As her finger swiped across the screen, a message appeared:

[Ling Na: I’m coming to the apartment to pick you up]

Almost as soon as Qiao Dai saw this message, the next one popped up.

[Ling Na: I’m already at the community gate]

Qiao Dai, who had been dozing off, instantly woke up upon seeing this message. She threw off the covers and sat up, turning to look at Cheng Su, urging him with a slightly faster pace, “Ling Na is coming over.”

Although Ling Na knew about Qiao Dai and Cheng Su’s relationship, matters of the heart were still private. Qiao Dai didn’t want to expose too much to her colleagues, both because she felt embarrassed and because she believed in separating work and private life.

Qiao Dai looked around, suddenly regretting choosing such a small apartment. The space was so limited that everything was in plain sight, and there was nowhere to hide anyone.

Just as Qiao Dai was frantically looking for a hiding place for Cheng Su, she heard the sound of a key turning in the door, and her heart sank.

Because this was a small apartment provided by the company for her to rest in, she would stay here when she had work, making it convenient for travel. Therefore, Ling Na also had a key in case she couldn’t contact Qiao Dai on a workday.

“Xiao Qiao.”

Ling Na had already opened the door and walked in. Qiao Dai quickly pushed Cheng Su into the bathroom and shouted slightly anxiously, “Yes, Ling Na, I’m washing up!”

There was a rustling sound from outside the door, probably from changing shoes at the entrance. Qiao Dai’s heart was in her throat, wondering if Ling Na had seen Cheng Su’s shoes on the shoe rack.

While Qiao Dai was worried, Ling Na didn’t seem to notice the extra pair of unfamiliar leather shoes by the entrance. After changing her shoes, she walked in and placed the things in her hand on the dining table.

A blurred figure was reflected on the frosted glass door of the bathroom. Even though Qiao Dai knew that Ling Na wouldn’t casually open the door, her heart was still in her throat, afraid of any accidents.

Ling Na glanced curiously at the locked bathroom door, pausing briefly before turning away and walking towards the living room, saying, “It’s okay, we just need to be there before eight.”

Only after the shadow on the glass door completely disappeared did Qiao Dai breathe a sigh of relief. She subconsciously stepped back, and Cheng Su, who was standing behind her, couldn’t dodge in time, his elbow hitting the shower switch.

With a splash, fine water droplets instantly fell from above, spraying everywhere and drenching them both.

Cheng Su quickly turned off the switch, but his clothes were already soaked, especially his broad shoulders and back. The white shirt clung to his body, a sight that made Qiao Dai blush.

“Xiao Qiao, what’s wrong?”

Seemingly hearing the commotion in the bathroom, Ling Na, who had already sat down in the living room, returned and asked Qiao Dai at the door if something had happened.

“No, nothing.”

The wet clothes clung tightly to her skin, making Qiao Dai shiver slightly, causing Cheng Su to involuntarily pull her into his arms.

Qiao Dai buried her head in Cheng Su’s chest, her slightly panicked voice trembling as she shouted to Ling Na outside the door, “Ling Na, I forgot to bring my clothes into the bathroom.”

As she said this, her cheeks flushed.

She paused briefly and continued, “Could you bring me some clothes later?”
