CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126: PLAY WITH ME

Qin Xiao picked up the microphone but didn’t select a song; instead, he began singing "The Only One" a cappella.

The familiar melody sounded, and as the heartfelt lyrics were sung, Xiao Li’s heart was captured by Qin Xiao.

As Qin Xiao sang, he kept looking at Xiao Li. She was drawn by his gaze and his voice, and unconsciously, she sang while walking toward him. The girl who was singing earlier tactfully handed the microphone to Xiao Li.

Standing facing Qin Xiao with the microphone, Xiao Li sang along with him line by line...

Although both of them sang without accompaniment, their performance was captivating. When they finished, the people gathered around were so engrossed that they forgot to applaud, only coming back to their senses to clap when the two kissed...

After the song ended and they kissed in front of so many people, Xiao Li felt embarrassed. She didn’t feel like doing anything else for fun and directly took Qin Xiao back to the small building.

Back at the small building, before Xiao Li could even catch her breath, Qin Xiao scooped her up and took her to the bathroom.

The sound of water flowed down, and in the stream, while kissing Xiao Li, Qin Xiao said, "I know you don’t want to play with those people; you want to come back and play with me..."

In the early morning, on the bed on the second floor, Xiao Li was still sleeping. Qin Xiao gently kissed her forehead, pressed the lift button on the bedside, raised the head of the bed, and then softly called, "Nini, wake up..."

Xiao Li stirred in Qin Xiao’s arms and slowly opened her eyes to find it was still dark. She asked drowsily, "Uncle, the sky is still dark! Are we getting up already?"

Qin Xiao chuckled, "If we wait until it’s completely bright, how will you see the sunrise?"

Hearing this, Xiao Li nodded, "Right... we’re going to watch the sunrise..."

Yawning, she rubbed her eyes, repositioned herself in Qin Xiao’s embrace, and said, "Uncle, why does it feel different?"

Holding Xiao Li in his arms, Qin Xiao leaned against her, "I adjusted the bed so the head is up. This way, we can see clearly!"

Xiao Li was surprised, "This bed can be adjusted?"

Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes, all the beds here can be adjusted. If you want people to experience watching the sunrise while lying in bed, of course, every aspect must be considered!

Every bed is adjustable so everyone can lean and watch the sunrise, just like us..."

Xiao Li nodded in agreement...

The two chatted for a while longer, and the sky began to lighten. Gradually, a hint of orange light appeared on the horizon, coloring the surrounding clouds. As the sky’s colors deepened, a red sun slowly emerged...

Xiao Li, who was very sleepy and kept wanting to close her eyes while chatting with Qin Xiao, suddenly didn’t feel sleepy as she watched the sun rise little by little.

Xiao Li exclaimed, "It’s so beautiful, no wonder people always want to see the sunrise... willing to stay up late or travel just to watch it..."

Xiao Li picked up her phone, capturing this wonderful moment and posted it on her social circle...

After watching the sunrise, Xiao Li lingered in Qin Xiao’s arms for a while longer, then they got out of bed because Xiao Li had to work today, so they had to head back to the city.

After washing up and putting on the clothes that had been dry-cleaned, they left the small building, reached the square, and in the reception area of the square, Qin Xiao took Xiao Li for breakfast and then they got into the car to go down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Xiao Li fell asleep again from the rocking of the car.

They returned to the city by nearly eight o’clock. Qin Xiao directly took Xiao Li to the hospital. When Xiao Li was about to get off, she was still a little dazed, feeling tired!

Last night was quite hectic, and this morning they got up so early to watch the sunrise...

Xiao Li turned to Qin Xiao, "Uncle, aren’t you sleepy?"

Qin Xiao smiled, "Not sleepy."

Clearly, they both were busy last night, and she had just napped on the way yet still felt sleepy, but this person was so spirited...

Sigh...

Xiao Li was deeply affected, not wanting to stay in the same space as Qin Xiao any longer.

Seeing him about to get out to open the car door for her, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and walked out without giving Qin Xiao a chance to act.

Qin Xiao paused in the movement of opening the door, then saw Xiao Li’s angry back. Hmm... this has made her wide awake.

Closing the half-opened car door and fastening his seatbelt, Qin Xiao watched as Xiao Li and Dai Zihan met and walked arm in arm into the inpatient department before starting the car to go to the lab.

The lab recently reached a crucial phase for numerical analysis, so everyone was very busy.

In the lobby on the first floor of the inpatient department, while waiting for the elevator, Dai Zihan enthusiastically recounted last night’s process of exchanging contact information with Wen Zeyu to Xiao Li, "Little Lili, your cousin is really quite simple. I called him and just said that I am your good friend and would like to add his WeChat.

Then he agreed just like that and added me on WeChat.

Can you imagine someone so naive? I said I’m your friend, and he believed it just like that?

If someone wanted to deceive him, wouldn’t he be super easy to trick?"

Xiao Li nodded, "Yeah, easy to trick, but didn’t you know he’s simple a long time ago?

Didn’t you say yesterday in the group that it’s this simplicity that you found appealing, and now you’re complaining?"

Dai Zihan laughed, "I’m not complaining, I’m just teasing...

Teasing is one thing, but I still find your cousin adorably simple..."

The elevator arrived, and the two got on. There were quite a few people in the elevator, so Xiao Li didn’t say much. It wasn’t until they had changed clothes in the respiratory department that Xiao Li seriously told Dai Zihan, "Zhihan, are you sure you want to date my cousin?"

Dai Zihan shook her head, "Not sure! I do feel something for him, but your cousin, that fool, may not feel anything for me?

So, it’s still uncertain what will happen?"

Xiao Li nodded, "What if it really doesn’t work out, I don’t want you to get hurt, so why not think about it now..."

Dai Zihan smiled at this, "Little Lili, this isn’t the first time I’m pursuing love.

Love has always been about mutual willingness; if it doesn’t work out, we’ll part on good terms!

What’s the big deal? Don’t overthink it.

Let’s go, time for work!"

Seeing Dai Zihan so carefree, Xiao Li said no more, and they both left the changing room heading to the duty room when they encountered Bai Yu. They both stopped and greeted, "Director."

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, then said, "Xiao Dai, you go on to the duty room first! I need to talk to Xiao Li for a moment."

Dai Zihan smiled, "Alright, Director, I’ll head on first then."

Once Dai Zihan left, Bai Yu walked with Xiao Li to the window and said, "Except for those guarding assets overseas, all the Bai Family members have returned home.

The roots of the Bai Family want to plant back home.

The day after tomorrow, we’ll host a banquet at Heshun Villa, officially announcing the Bai Family’s return, and Grandpa wants you and Qin Xiao to come too."
