After finally dealing with Ren Feilin, Cheng Lie was physically and mentally exhausted, and when he returned to the room, he was tired and lay on the sofa and didn't want to move, Tang Xiao glanced at him and said, "Is it your soldier's consistent style to sleep without taking a bath?"

Cheng Lie rubbed his eyebrows helplessly and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm tired." ”

Tang Xiao was stunned, this is not like Cheng Lie's style, he has always never shown a weak side. If you can say that you are tired in front of yourself, you are probably really tired, right?

Brewing him a cup of hot cocoa and putting it on the table in front of him, Tang Xiao sat down opposite Cheng Lie and said, "Drink." ”

Cheng Lie glanced at Tang Xiao, a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, turned over and lay on the sofa, stretched out a hand towards Tang Xiao and said, "Come here." ”

Tang Xiao was stunned, a little confused about what Cheng Lie wanted to do, but he still walked over obediently.

Cheng Lie grabbed Tang Xiao's hand and used a little force, Tang Xiao pounced on Cheng Lie, he was startled, and immediately wanted to stand up, but at this time, Cheng Lie turned over violently and reached out to hug Tang Xiao who was lying on him.

Tang Xiao's whole person was held in his arms by Cheng Lie's strong and powerful arms, and his head was forced to stick to his chest, not to mention breaking free, it was difficult to move.

"Cheng Lie, what do you want to do?" Tang Xiao was tense and his tone was cold, like a kitten about to blow up in Cheng Lie's eyes.

"What do you say I want to do?" Cheng Lie's slightly teasing voice came from overhead.

Tang Xiao pursed his lips and remained silent. There is a huge difference in physical strength between the two, if Cheng Lie really wants to do something to her, no matter how thoroughly she studies the human body, no matter how clear she is about which parts of the attack are most effective, it still won't have any effect in front of him.

"Do you think I'm going to force you to do something you don't want to do?" Cheng Lie asked.

"Isn't it?" said Don with a smile, "if you don't want to force me to do what I don't want to do, let me go now." ”

Cheng Lie sighed slightly and said, "I really want to force you for a while, if you don't want to, then there's no way." ”

"You ......" Tang Xiao was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Cheng Lie patted Tang Xiao lightly on the back and said, "Don't move." ”

Tang Xiao said impatiently: "Cheng Lie, what do you want to do? Do you know that forcing the other half to have sex in marriage is also a crime-"

"So, did I force you to have sex?" interrupted the chattering woman.

Tang Xiao said angrily, "Who knows what you want to do next?"

Cheng Lie said lightly: "Tang Xiao, I just want to hug you." ”

Tang Xiao was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

Cheng Lie also stopped talking. Just hugged her quietly.

Tang Xiao lay on Cheng Lie's chest, listening to the other party's steady and powerful heartbeat, and felt a sense of peace in his heart.

How long has it been since this feeling has passed?

There will always be irreconcilable contradictions between them, and peace and tranquility like this are becoming more and more rare day by day.

Tang Xiao lay on Cheng Lie's chest for a while, realized that Cheng Lie had not moved, raised his head and found that Cheng Lie didn't know when he fell asleep.

She looked at him silently for a moment, intending to get off him, but he closed his eyes and reached out and pressed him into his arms again.

"Cheng Lie?" Tang laughed and shouted, seeing that Cheng Lie still didn't respond with his eyes closed, but his hands didn't unload, so he asked, "Are you asleep?"

Cheng Lie moved his lips, and said in a vague voice, "A little longer...... For a while. ”

The next day, Tang Xiao woke up to find himself lying under the covers, and Cheng Lie next to him seemed to have been awake for a while and was staring at her motionless.

Tang Xiao felt uncomfortable when he thought that there was a person next to him looking at him when he was asleep, so he pulled up the quilt to cover half of his face and said, "What are you looking at?"

Cheng Lie stretched out a hand towards her, Tang Xiao hurriedly dodged, and said softly, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Lie withdrew his hand, looked at her and said, "Xiaoxiao, you have eye droppings on your face." ”

Tang smiled: "...... Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Thinking that he had been holding that lump of just now, Tang Xiao simply collapsed.

Cheng Lie replied very honestly: "Because you haven't woken up just now." I can't wake you up for an eye dropping. ”

"Then you just keep looking at me...... That eye?" Tang Xiao was not good.

Cheng Lie raised his lips and smiled: "I'm not looking at eye, it's you." ”

“…… Is there a difference?"

"Is it all right?"

"......" Of course, there is a difference. Tang Xiao didn't want to equate himself with eye droppings.

Wait a minute...... Didn't she sit on the couch with him last night?

"You fell asleep last night. Cheng Lie knew what she was thinking by looking at the expression on her face, and smiled, "Is it that I'm too comfortable, so you just fell asleep?"

Tang Xiao couldn't help glaring at Cheng Lie and said: "It's so thick-skinned, it's obviously someone who stinks and doesn't want to drag me to say 'I want to hug', tsk, I'm old, and I don't feel numb." ”

"For you, even if it is a thousand times more numb, ten thousand times more numb, I am willing. Cheng Lie said calmly.

Tang Xiao knew that he couldn't talk about Cheng Lie, and he was more like an egg hitting a stone than a flesh, so he looked at the time and planned to get up and take a shower and go for a run.

As a result, before he could sit up, Cheng Lie grabbed a hand and said, "Don't move." ”

Tang Xiao held back his anger and said, "What's the matter?"

"Lie down a little longer. Cheng Lie's dark eyes looked at her and said. There was a hint of pleading in his tone.

Tang Xiao was originally a soft-hearted person, but he just pretended to be strong in front of Cheng Lie, and he actually couldn't bear it in his heart, but he didn't want to admit that he always ate Cheng Lie.

"Don't you have to go to work?" asked Tang Xiao.

Cheng Lie didn't speak, just looked at her so fixedly, with a little smile on his face, it seemed that his eyes were deep and bright, and he didn't need to look much to find that there was infinite tenderness inside, Tang Xiao turned his head slightly, pretending to look at the ceiling naturally, not wanting to face that kind of gaze.

In this world, gentleness is precious, affection is rare, but if such tenderness and such affection become the shackles that bind a person from freedom. Well, such tenderness and affection, and at the same time cruel.

Tang Xiao didn't know how to face it. She actually wanted to harden her heart, but she knew she couldn't.

A person who has lived in an emotionally deprived environment since he was a child and longs to be gently cared for, even if he is treated a little carefully, is like seeing a little light in the dark, and he can't wait for a moth to put out a fire and never give up, how can he turn around and walk away with a heart of stone.

Cheng Lie knew her too well, and he knew that she couldn't refuse. He is the poison she drinks to quench her thirst.

"If I could, I'd love to lie here with you like this until I'm old. Cheng Lie sighed.

Tang Xiao laughed silently, and said with a hint of mockery in his tone: "It's so good, then have you ever thought about it, am I willing?"

"I know you don't want to. Cheng Lie laughed at himself, "At this moment, you must be eager to slip away from me immediately." I guessed right. ”

"You guessed it. Tang smiled and said, "Since you know, why do you want to force me to do something that I don't want to do at all?"

"I can't bear it. Cheng Lie reached out his large, calloused hand and gently held a small hand that she placed at her side. The voice said slowly, "If I didn't force you at all, we wouldn't be able to be together at all." ”

Tang Xiao was shocked in her heart, heh, isn't it, the old thing is brought up again, if Cheng Lie hadn't forced her to lead a group of people to make trouble with the Civil Affairs Bureau, how could she marry him.

"I already regret it. The low voice came again, "Xiaoxiao, I already know it's wrong." ”

Tang Xiao turned his head in horror, looking at the face that looked very calm and looked a little pale in the early morning light, "You say...... Do you regret it?"

What did he regret? She didn't regret it. Although she wanted to break free, she didn't regret knowing Cheng Yeol or marrying her - although this was something she couldn't choose at the time, she didn't regret it.

She loves this man, and there is nothing wrong with marrying love, let alone anything to regret.

But he said he regretted it.

It's the most ironic thing in the world.

In an instant, Tang Xiao almost wanted to jump up from the bed and rush out without stopping for a second. Never look back again.

But her fingers were still gently held in his palm, and the warm touch made her weak and made her stay.

"I regret it, I regret forcing you to marry me. Forcing you to give up your job. Forcing you to come home with me. Cheng Lie looked at her deeply, "If you go back in time and everything can be done again, I will pursue you well, let you understand me, and let me understand you, instead of completely not giving you the right to choose and brutally snatching you...... It's just that at that time, if I didn't snatch you back, you should have married Qiao Feifei, right?

Cheng Lie said seriously, but Tang Xiao's eyes were sour when he heard it. The corners of her mouth tugged upwards and said, "Count." ”

Cheng Lie said: "Then there is no way. Xiaoxiao, do you know? In my life, Chenglie has always thought of what must be obtained. ”

"Do whatever it takes to get it?"

"Whatever means are necessary. ”

"Cheng Lie, why are you so selfish?" Tang Xiao asked. At the same time, he blinked, trying to suppress the inexplicable sourness in his eyes.

"Why am I so selfish?" Cheng Lie repeated Tang Xiao's words, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little bitter, "Probably because love is inherently selfish." It is not love that is selfless. ”

Tang Xiao was speechless, and heard Cheng Lie say again, "I love you, how can I not want you to love me, and how can I watch you marry other men and live with other men for the rest of your life." Is this selfish? Love is love, and if you can let go easily, is it still love?"

Tang Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know, don't ask me, and, Cheng Lie, I don't want to discuss this with you." ”

Cheng Lie squeezed Tang Xiao's hand and said helplessly: "Okay, don't talk about it." ”

Tang smiled and said, "Cheng Lie, you let it go, I remembered." ”

"Good. Cheng Lie looked at Tang Xiao, gently took her into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed the woman with a stunned face.
