Meng Renshu looked at her desperately, making Li Caiyi sigh in exasperation. If she couldn't avoid it, she should just use this chance as fully as possible. She definitely had to find out more about the mystery behind Meng Renshu's frequent dreams.
"Fine, then. But promise me this will be the last time?"
"I can't promise anything. If my theory was proven true, then I might need you more than any kind of consultation or medicine."
That line was supposed to sound romantic, but Meng Renshu said it like it was a matter-of-fact, so it annoyed Li Caiyi instead. Anything that came out of his mouth at this point was ingratiating to hear.
"Can you be less selfish? I'm not a tool you can use whenever it is convenient for you!"
Li Caiyi thought he would come back at her with another witty comment, but Meng Renshu had a gloomy look on his face, to her surprise. He lowered her head and dared not to meet her eyes, like a child that caught red-handed doing something terrible.
'Now it feels like I'm bullying him. So unfair!' Li Caiyi cursed inwardly.
"It's not my intention to make you think that way. What I said before about not wanting to fight with you is true. However, I'm also anxious almost all the time whenever I think about you. That's why when I could finally sleep peacefully that one time, I was thrilled."
Li Caiyi: "...."
This conversation wouldn't end until one of them gave in. Li Caiyi massaged her nose bridge before saying impatiently.
"I get it. You can stop repeating the same sentence now. Let's just get this over with."
Meng Renshu brightened immediately upon receiving her approval. "Then can you let me sleep for about one hour? You can wake me up if you feel I have slept for a long time."
"But what about Auntie? Wouldn't she feel more suspicious if we spend too much time here?" Li Caiyi asked hesitantly.
Meng Renshu quickly pulled out his phone and typed something. After a few seconds, he received a reply.
"My sister would buy us some time, so we won't be disturbed for a while. And don't worry about my mother. I already said I'm going to take care of it, didn't I? You only need to sit beside me without doing anything."
"Xiaochun agreed so easily? That's a surprise," Li Caiyi said in disbelief. Considering how much she hated how the twins kept wandering around Meng Renshu, that kid seemed to give in too quickly.
"I made some agreement with her. I hope I won't regret this…." Meng Renshu sighed in resignation before patting the spot beside him. "But forget about that for now. Come sit beside me."
Li Caiyi eyed him suspiciously and scooted closer, bit by bit. Meng Renshu laughed, seeing how vigilant she was.
"You don't have to be so scared. I won't suddenly attack you or anything."
"No, I can't believe you anymore."
"Well, that's too bad," He smirked mischievously. "I was thinking of borrowing your lap to be my pillow. Would you allow me?"
Li Caiyi immediately alerted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Don't you dare come any closer!"
Meng Renshu laughed heartily at that. He never knew Li Caiyi could be so cute when she was teased. She was easily flustered and couldn't hide her emotion well, so watching her expression change was interesting. It made him want to tease her more.
Meng Renshu raised his hand and asked her again, "Then can we at least hold hands?"
"No," Li Caiyi replied decisively.
"But if I can't touch you, it won't really feel like you are beside me, then." Meng Renshu didn't wait for her to reply and clasp Li Caiyi's hand. "Please cooperate with me this time? You are also curious about what will happen, right?"
It felt like a crab had just bitten her hand from how tightly he clasped her hand, unwilling to let go. After giving it some thought, she finally relented because she also wanted to know what kind of development would transpire from here. Besides, they were just holding hands.
"I swear you are such a cunning person." Li Caiyi grumbled under her breath.
Meng Renshu chuckled. "People often told me that. Then, I'll sleep first, okay?"
He closed his eyes while rubbing a circle on her hand using his thumb. Li Caiyi's hand felt ticklish at the sensation, but the movement quickly came to a halt along with Meng Renshu's steadier breath.
He slept while leaning back against the couch sloppily. It didn't look that comfortable. However, he probably didn't have much choice because she kept refusing to sit too close to him.
Li Caiyi's mind wandered as she looked down at his sleeping face. She didn't know what kind of dream he was having right now, but it seemed he slept pretty well.
"Why are you doing this to me? I don't understand you at all. Why do you keep making me feel like this even after everything that happened?" Li Caiyi whispered softly.
In the end, because she couldn't stand looking at it again, she gently cradled his head and guided his body so he could lie down on the couch. She still wouldn't put his head on her lap, no matter what, so she took the couch cushion and laid his head on it instead. It was pretty hard to do all this while ensuring their hand wouldn't be disconnected, but Li Caiyi somehow managed to do it.
She sat right beside his head, just in time when Meng Renshu suddenly stirred in his sleep while letting out a soft hum. He pulled her hand closer to his chest like a child trying to keep something precious close to his heart. The sight softened her heart slightly.
Everything would be so much easier if Meng Renshu was completely an evil person from the beginning. She always had complicated feelings in her heart whenever she faced him, just like she was troubled about what kind of attitude she should take to face her mother.
It was tough to hate someone.
