He sighed, suppressing the ticklish sensation on his face from the kiss, and tried to look Phoenix directly into her eyes: "Phoenix... I'm sorry."
"Hmph!" Phoenix's pretty face hardened: "What have you done to wrong me!"
"I..." Chen Xiao uttered a single word, then fell silent. It would have been awkward to say those things out loud in person. He shook his head: "In short, I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, Phoenix's eyes suddenly reddened. Looking at Chen Xiao, she suddenly punched him hard, her voice trembling with tears: "What do you mean by saying sorry to me! You don't want me anymore, do you! You're going to leave me after saying sorry and go be with that Zhang Xiaotao. Is that it! Is that it!! I don't want to hear sorry! You're not allowed to say sorry!!"
"I……"
"Shut up! Chen Xiao!" Tears welled in Phoenix's eyes, but she reached out and gently traced a line on Chen Xiao's face. Her tone suddenly became exceptionally gentle: "I won't allow you to say sorry to me... I won't allow you to leave me! I won't allow you to abandon me! No! Do you hear me!"
"I...no." Chen Xiao was overwhelmed with thoughts and didn't know what to say. The clearest feeling in his heart at that moment was: heartache!
Seeing the phoenix shed tears, he suddenly felt an overwhelming pang of heartache!
"Chen Xiao, I promise I won't play pranks on you anymore... I'll never tease you again... I'll never be naughty again. You like me being gentle, so I'll be gentle with you, okay?" Phoenix knelt on Chen Xiao's lap, gently hugging him, whispering in his ear with an uncontrollable shyness: "Do you... do you like maid outfits? I'll wear one for you every day from now on. Okay?"
She paused, then suddenly chuckled and whispered, "These clothes are such a hassle to put on. I knocked out the maid who was supposed to serve you in the dressing room and sneaked in wearing her clothes."
She hugged Chen Xiao's neck, burying her face under his ear, not daring to look him in the eye: "You can't leave me, you can't abandon me. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. Okay? You...you...you can be my master, the only one in the whole world who can be, okay? Chen Xiao?"
Chen Xiao felt his blood boiling.
With such a stunning beauty nestled in his arms, speaking softly and tenderly, revealing her heart to him with utmost affection and devotion, what more could a man ask for? Moreover, Chen Xiao was already deeply enamored with this girl. From their very first meeting, his heart had been captivated by her!
“Phoenix…” Chen Xiao sighed, his heart filled with heartache. He carefully cupped Phoenix’s exquisitely beautiful face in his hands: “Why…why are you so good to me? I’ve done so many things that have wronged you, I’ve been so foolish…You are such an outstanding girl, and someone as awful as me is simply unworthy of you…”
"Shut up!"
Phoenix suddenly became agitated, leaping up onto the sofa and straddling Chen Xiao's legs. Looking down at him, she shouted, "You little bastard! You've hugged me, you've kissed me! Are you trying to back out?! If you dare abandon me, I'll fight you for the rest of my life! If you live a hundred years, I'll live a hundred years! If you live a thousand years, I'll live a thousand years!! I'll just keep fighting you!!"
Chen Xiao stared at the phoenix in surprise.
Phoenix looked at Chen Xiao's surprised expression and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "What's wrong? Are you scared? Did you understand what I said?"
Chen Xiao just stared blankly at Phoenix... Phoenix was standing on him, looking up at him from his angle... After a while, he managed to speak with difficulty: "Phoenix... your skirt... is very short..."
Phoenix felt a chill, then suddenly realized that the maid outfit she was wearing was custom-made! The skirt was already super short, and with her standing on Chen Xiao's body, straddling his legs, it was so short that from Chen Xiao's current angle of vision, it couldn't hide anything at all!
With a soft cry, Phoenix suddenly squeezed her legs together and quickly knelt down, her face flushed red. She raised her head and glared hatefully at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao's heart was pounding: "I didn't mean to look..."
Phoenix blushed and angrily said, "What did you see!"
Chen Xiao immediately swore, "I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!"
The phoenix suddenly asked, "What color is it?"
Chen Xiao: "White..."
"..." Phoenix: "Still saying you didn't see it!!!"
Chen Xiao immediately became flustered and stammered, not daring to speak.
Phoenix blushed for a moment, but then suddenly sat up straight and stared intently at Chen Xiao: "Is it pretty?"
Chen Xiao was torn between his own thoughts and his inner turmoil... How could he possibly answer that?
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xiao whispered, "It looks good..."
"Beautiful! You dare say it's beautiful?!" Phoenix glared.
Chen Xiao quickly corrected herself: "Ah no! It's not good-looking! It's not good-looking!"
Phoenix's anger intensified: "How dare you say I'm not pretty!!"
Chen Xiao frowned, thought for a while, and then said with a bitter smile, "Speaking or not speaking, it's all the same..."
"Hmph!" Phoenix turned around, carefully concealing herself with her skirt, then stood up, pointed at Chen Xiao's nose, her face flushed, and whispered harshly:
"Listen up, you surnamed Chen. You've not only hugged me, kissed me, but... you've even looked at me! So, if you dare to abandon me after using me, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!"
Although she spoke fiercely, Chen Xiao saw a hint of tears in her eyes, and his heart clenched painfully.
Phoenix, with a radiant smile, leaned in again and gave Chen Xiao a light peck on the lips before pulling away, saying softly, "I just couldn't resist coming to see you today. I have some things to take care of and can't be with you for now, so please take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you as soon as I'm done with my work."
She paused, then suddenly blinked again: "Next time I come to see you, can I wear this outfit too? What other uniforms do you like? Nurse? Teacher? Flight attendant? Student? I'll find them all for you to wear, okay?"
Chen Xiao was stunned.
This is Phoenix! The Phoenix who would slam her fist on the table and yell, "Waiter, bring me two pounds of beef!" The Phoenix who would run to the top of the prison tower in the middle of the night to look at the stars. The Phoenix who would cheerfully say, "Let's start this relationship right now!"
Chen Xiao wanted to say something, but Phoenix shook her head and said softly, "Don't say anything. I don't want to hear you apologize, and I'm afraid to hear words I don't want to hear from you. Just remember that you are in my heart, and you are the only one in my heart. That's enough."
Chen Xiao nodded involuntarily.
Phoenix suddenly thought for a moment and asked, "Her... Zhang Xiaotao, have you ever kissed her?"
Chen Xiao: "..."
Phoenix gritted her teeth: "Have you ever held her?"
Chen Xiao remained silent.
Phoenix snorted: "Have you touched her?"
"No, we don't have that!" Chen Xiao quickly shook his head.
