The other person's tone, which sounded like they were coaxing a child, instantly made Tang Xue feel like she was an unreasonable little kid, and she pouted.
She reached out and poked Lin Xiaoxiao's face. "Let me blow-dry your hair." Her fingers slid across Lin Xiaoxiao's face, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, and she said with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao smiled with narrowed eyes. She really liked Tang Xue's intimate gesture. "Then I'll trouble you."
"Your short hair is so easy to manage." Tang Xue's fingers ran through Lin Xiaoxiao's short hair. Because the hair was short, it was quick to dry, taking only a few minutes.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at her and said with a smile, "It's quite convenient. It's easy to wash and easy to clean. Is it dry already?" Lin Xiaoxiao touched her hair.
"It's dry." Tang Xue turned off the hairdryer, and reluctantly pinched the hair by her ear.
"Haha, no." Lin Xiaoxiao shrank her neck. Her ears were a sensitive spot. When Tang Xue's fingers touched them lightly, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a tingling sensation spread from her earlobe throughout her body.
Tang Xue blinked in surprise, "Are you that ticklish?"
"Yes." Lin Xiaoxiao moved a little distance between herself and Tang Xue. "I'm quite ticklish. Aren't you ticklish?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Xue with curious eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao is the kind of person who is extremely ticklish. If someone tickles her, she really has no power to resist.
"I'm not ticklish." Tang Xue's eyes darted around, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"Oh, I see." Lin Xiaoxiao sighed. "It's so nice not to be ticklish." Unlike her, the thought had just popped into her head.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, she covered her waist with her hand, staring incredulously at the suspicious finger. "You..."
"Are you really ticklish?" Tang Xue said, her finger poised to poke Lin Xiaoxiao's waist.
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately stood up, looking at Tang Xue warily, "I'm really ticklish, don't bully me."
The person who said not to bully her was now looking at her with big, watery eyes and a red face, looking rather pitiful.
But what Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know was that in Tang Xue's eyes, her appearance was a fatal temptation. Tang Xue rubbed her fingers together.
Under Lin Xiaoxiao's incredulous gaze, she once again reached her fingers towards Lin Xiaoxiao's waist. Even through the clothes, she could feel the tightness of Lin Xiaoxiao's waist.
She had always known that Lin Xiaoxiao had a great figure, and at this moment, she felt it even more clearly.
Lin Xiaoxiao's body stiffened, then her waist went limp, and she plopped down on the bed. Her face still held an expression of disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that the childish thing she had just done was really done by Tang Xue, whom she knew.
"Looks like this is a sensitive spot for you too." Seeing that she had poked Lin Xiaoxiao, she sat down on the bed. Tang Xue, as if she had found something amusing, reached out and pinched Lin Xiaoxiao's waist.
"Xiaoxiao, you have a great figure. Your waist is even thinner than mine."
Seeing the hand still roaming freely around her waist, Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and reached out to press down on Tang Xue's hand, "Stop messing around."
Her voice was hoarse, and she had no strength in her hands. Her big, watery eyes looked particularly pitiful.
Tang Xue's heart skipped a beat, and she suppressed the urge to continue teasing the other person. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault."
She then withdrew her hand, saying, "I just wanted to try it out; I didn't expect your body to be so sensitive."
"Physical sensitivity?" Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened even more. Although she knew that Tang Xue didn't mean anything by it, she just couldn't help but think the wrong thing.
What do you mean you didn't expect your body to be so sensitive? Looking at Tang Xue's innocent face, Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and pounced on Tang Xue with lightning speed.
"Then let me see if your body is just as sensitive." As he spoke, a hand reached towards Tang Xue's waist.
"Haha, no, Xiaoxiao, stop!" Tang Xue hadn't recovered from the words, "Let's see if your body is this sensitive too," when Lin Xiaoxiao gently tickled her waist.
"You dare bully me!" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stop what she was doing. Her other hand wasn't idle either. She used both hands to tickle Tang Xue until she kept begging for mercy.
"I was wrong, hahaha, Xiaoxiao, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have bullied you. Please let me go, hahahaha." Tang Xue never thought she would be so ticklish.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, looking at Tang Xue triumphantly like a victorious general, "Admit defeat, now I've found your weakness too."
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat." Tang Xue wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, looking at the person riding on her back, and at that person's smug little expression.
Tang Xue chuckled softly, placed her hands on Lin Xiaoxiao's waist, and with a slight movement, their positions shifted.
Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, looking at the person pinning her down, her expression blank for a moment, until she realized what was going on.
Lin Xiaoxiao twisted her body, trying to get away from under Tang Xue, but perhaps she was too anxious, because her movements were a bit too large.
Her knee struck a sensitive spot on Tang Xue's body, causing Lin Xiaoxiao to stiffen and freeze instantly.
As for Tang Xue, her hands, which were supporting her on the bed, suddenly went limp, and she collapsed onto Lin Xiaoxiao's body. Her face was so red that it looked like it was about to bleed.
The air was quiet, and time seemed to have been paused for a second. Lin Xiaoxiao remained in her original position, not daring to move, for fear that she might accidentally touch something she shouldn't.
However, Tang Xue's fall resulted in her falling directly into Lin Xiaoxiao's arms. Since Lin Xiaoxiao had just taken a shower, she was naturally not wearing any clothes.
The soft touch made Tang Xue feel itchy, and she wanted to get up, but she felt like she had no strength left in her body.
Her mind was filled with that soft, cotton candy-like sensation, leaving her with no energy to think.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt as if someone had stuffed a wad of cotton into her brain, leaving her with no way to think.
Tang Xue's breath fell on Lin Xiaoxiao's chest through her clothes, the itchy, tingling sensation making Lin Xiaoxiao's head feel dizzy and swollen.
A piercing ringtone sounded in the room, and Tang Xue jumped out of bed like a startled bird. "I...I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. She felt a little dizzy and her thoughts were a bit hazy.
"I'm going to take a shower." Grabbing her pajamas from the bedside table, Tang Xue rushed into the bathroom as if fleeing.
Lin Xiaoxiao propped herself up and glanced at the phone, then threw herself back onto the bed, ignoring the still-ringing phone, and closed her heavy eyelids.
Chapter 41
==================
After taking a shower, Tang Xue lingered in the bathroom, reluctant to come out, because she really didn't know how she would face Lin Xiaoxiao after she came out.
She didn't know how to explain to Lin Xiaoxiao when she saw her later that she had buried her face in Lin Xiaoxiao's chest and had been unwilling to get up.
Oh my god, she wished she could turn back time and prevent all of this from happening. Tang Xue covered her face, wishing she had superpowers so she could go back to the time before any of this happened.
Tang Xue, who was dawdling in the bathroom and reluctant to come out, had no idea that the person she didn't know how to face had already fallen asleep after she went into the bathroom.
Tang Xue, unable to come up with a good solution after much thought, had no choice but to grit her teeth and leave the bathroom. But when she came out, she saw that Lin Xiaoxiao was still in the same position she had been in when she entered the bathroom.
"Xiaoxiao?" Tang Xue called out tentatively, but received no response. She walked closer and found that Lin Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep.
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeping face, Tang Xue breathed a sigh of relief. At least she didn't have to worry about how to explain her behavior just now.
"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold sleeping like this?" Tang Xue sighed and picked Lin Xiaoxiao up in her arms. "She's so light."
Tang Xue frowned, already thinking about how to properly nourish Lin Xiaoxiao. She had thought Lin Xiaoxiao was too thin before, but now that she had held her, she felt even more that Lin Xiaoxiao needed to be properly nourished.
After tucking Lin Xiaoxiao into bed and covering her with the blanket, Tang Xue smiled gently as she looked at her upright sleeping posture.
The tenderness that she had always hidden in her eyes was now revealed. If Lin Xiaoxiao were to wake up at this moment, she would be able to see the tenderness in Tang Xue's eyes that could overwhelm her.
"Xiaoxiao, what should I do with you?" Leaning over the bedside, Tang Xue's tenderness was tinged with a hint of hesitation. "I don't want to hand you over to someone else."
I know you have feelings for Teacher Cheng Yi, so I declared my ownership in front of him and told him not to make any moves on you. If you knew all this, would you hate me?
Tang Xue touched Lin Xiaoxiao's face, her nose tingling with emotion. "I so want to tell you how much I like you, I so want to tell you that I want to be with you forever."
Sniffing, Tang Xue could no longer suppress her sadness. The person she liked was right in front of her, but she couldn't tell him she liked him, and she couldn't let him realize her feelings.
He could only maintain the status of being her good friend; he couldn't kiss her or tell her "I love you."
"Xiaoxiao, I really like you so much." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Tang Xue placed her hand on Lin Xiaoxiao's pillow and leaned closer to her.
Looking at those bright red, full lips, the lips she had longed for, Tang Xue gently touched the corner of Lin Xiaoxiao's lips with her thumb, and the two drew closer and closer.
"Xiaoxiao, I love you." Tang Xue stopped when she was still a centimeter away from Lin Xiaoxiao's lips.
She couldn't do that. Lin Xiaoxiao was asleep. She couldn't take advantage of her. She hadn't confessed her feelings, couldn't kiss her, and hadn't received a response. She couldn't do such a thing.
"Xiaoxiao, if only you could like me too." Tang Xue's eyes were filled with tears, and in the end, she didn't kiss him.
Tang Xue, who was immersed in her own world, was awakened by a shrill ringtone. Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao frowning, Tang Xue quickly grabbed the phone from the bedside.
Looking at the contact on her phone, Tang Xue hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing? I called you and you didn't answer. Are you so engrossed in having fun that you've completely forgotten about our important business? Let me tell you, you shouldn't..."
"Sister Bai..." Tang Xue walked to the window with her phone in hand, lowering her voice considerably.
"Uh!" Bai Bing was taken aback. "Tang Xue?"
"Yes, it's me." Tang Xue nodded subconsciously, then added when she realized Bai Bing couldn't see her.
Bai Bing paused for a moment, recalling her words. She realized she hadn't revealed anything she shouldn't have, and then relaxed. "Where's Xiao Xiao?"
"She's asleep." Tang Xue glanced towards the bed. "She hasn't had a proper rest these past few days."
"That's true." Bai Bing sighed. Lin Xiaoxiao had been very anxious and upset because of Tang Xue's matter. When Bai Bing saw Lin Xiaoxiao those days, she could see the dark circles under her eyes that she couldn't hide.
Tang Xue tightened her grip on her phone. If it weren't for her, Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.
"Since she's asleep, let her sleep peacefully." Bai Bing smiled. "How have you been on set lately?"
"I'm doing well on set." Tang Xue leaned against the windowsill, looking at the person lying on the bed, her eyes becoming increasingly gentle.
"That's good. Remember to call me if anything happens." Bai Bing, as Tang Xue's manager, briefly inquired about Tang Xue's situation on set.
Bai Bing felt quite worry-free. Tang Xue wasn't the type to cause trouble. Most importantly, even if something really happened to Tang Xue, there was Lin Xiaoxiao, who cared even more than her, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.
"I will," Tang Xue replied obediently. "I wonder if Sister Bai is looking for Xiao Xiao because of the things that are going on online about us as a couple?"
Bai Bing originally planned to talk to Lin Xiao about this tomorrow, but she didn't expect Tang Xue to bring it up, since Tang Xue already knew.
Bai Bing naturally wouldn't hide anything. She hadn't mentioned it before because she didn't know if Lin Xiaoxiao had discussed it with Tang Xue. Now that Lin Xiaoxiao had already discussed it with Tang Xue...
So, it doesn't matter whether she asks Lin Xiaoxiao or Tang Xue. "Yes, I asked Xiaoxiao about this. There's still a lot of buzz online about you two being a couple."
I'd like to ask you what your thoughts are on this matter. As you know, this is a complex and multifaceted situation for you, with both advantages and disadvantages.
I believe I don't need to give you examples to illustrate the pros and cons, so what's your thought?
"I have no objections." Tang Xue's voice softened unconsciously. "Xiao Xiao already told me, and I have no objections."
Bai Bing raised an eyebrow. "You don't mind the negative impact this matter might have on you?"
"I don't mind." Tang Xue lowered her eyes. As long as she could be tied to that person, she wouldn't mind anything.
"I'm glad you don't mind." Bai Bing chuckled. "This is a good thing for you too, at least the buzz is still very high. If you don't mind, then I'll go all out and do it."
"Sister Bai." Tang Xue hesitated for a second, but then asked her question, "Will you ask me to create a CP (couple pairing) with other people in the future?"
After asking the question, Tang Xue was a little nervous. She didn't want to create a CP (couple pairing) with anyone other than Lin Xiaoxiao. She hoped that her name could always be associated with Lin Xiaoxiao's name.
