As soon as these words came out, Cai Xiaotang immediately pursed her lips tighter.

Li Xiao couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this, and sighed helplessly before continuing.

"Have you ever thought about it, if it was me who was kidnapped that day and the other party asked you to exchange, would you agree without hesitation?"

"I……"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly paused, and the words of agreement were almost on her lips, without any need to think at all.

But……

"Li Xiao, you said that my hypothesis is not valid at all. Isn't it the same for you now? Who can capture you and then threaten me? It's simply impossible, so the only one who gets hurt is..."

"So what? I believe you already had the answer in your mind just now. At least we have the same thoughts about each other, right?"

Li Xiao interrupted Cai Xiaotang again, saying that he kissed her again as if "punishing" her, and the conversation changed accordingly.

"Besides, do you really think everything will be fine if you escape?"

He stretched out his finger and tapped Cai Xiaotang's forehead.

"It doesn't matter what your identity is now. What's important is that anyone who wants to do something to me knows that you are my weakness, the person I like, the person I care about, and even more so.

Mingmen, if you don't want to affect me because you are being targeted, there is only one way, and that is... I don't like you anymore, but I'm sorry, I can't do it."

He spoke straightforwardly, and his eyes were full of unabashed passion.

Cai Xiaotang was suddenly startled. She seemed to be awakened by something, but she didn't seem to understand.

Seeing that she still looked confused, Li Xiao had no choice but to continue.

"If you still insist on leaving, then as long as I still like you, I will not give up looking for you. At that time, in addition to being looked for by me, you may also be looked for by enemies who want to attack me. Think about it this way, right?

Or is it safer to stay with me? Who made me like you so much? It is simply impossible for me to give up."

"I……"

Cai Xiaotang didn't know how to retort for a moment, but her heart couldn't help but become sour and soft, as if someone had drenched her with the sweetest honey.

What Li Xiao said... seems to be correct.

The reason why those people wanted to cause trouble for her was to threaten Li Xiao.

Because even they knew how much Li Xiao cared about her.

"Still haven't figured it out yet?"

Li Xiao saw that she still looked unresponsive, so he simply spoke again.

"Cai Xiaotang, let me tell you, those people are always targeting me. If I didn't like you, these things wouldn't happen. Remember, it's not you who brings trouble to me, it's me who brings trouble to you.

It has caused trouble, so I should protect you, and letting you get hurt is my dereliction of duty, so even if it costs me my life, I will not have any complaints!"

"When you confessed your love to me, you said you were not afraid of anything. I also told you that I am not afraid of anything just like you. I am only afraid that I have not protected you. But now it is too late to say anything. You are already tied to me.

Yes, I have to rely on you for the rest of my life, so...are you willing to stay and face everything in the future with me?"

His tone was firm, and his words were as serious and solemn as a marriage vow.

Cai Xiaotang was dumbfounded.

"I..." She opened her mouth, but her heart began to waver.

Li Xiao's expression couldn't help but become a little anxious.

He was scared.

I'm afraid that even so, I still won't be able to convince the stubborn little puffer fish in front of me.

"Let me put it another way."

Li Xiao met Cai Xiaotang's eyes and his eyes darkened.

"You should understand that even without you, there will be danger around me. What if I really die tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week or next month? Cai Xiaotang, will you regret it then? Before that, there is no

with me?"

His words were like a heavy hammer hitting Cai Xiaotang's heart.

She almost didn't dare to think about such a possibility. Just thinking of the word "death" made her heart ache.

The answer to this question also requires almost no thought.

Will do.

She will definitely regret it.

There was still no answer from Cai Xiaotang in the quiet room.

But there was a soft sob.

Cai Xiaotang looked at Li Xiao pitifully, as if she was frightened by what he just said, and the tears that had finally stopped burst out again, crackling down her eyes.

"Why are you crying again?"

Li Xiao was immediately startled, and hurriedly held the person in his arms, comforting him softly.

"I just made an assumption. Don't take it seriously. Didn't I say that Link can no longer make any waves? I will definitely protect you and prevent you from being in any danger. As for other things, no one can

There is no way to predict it. I promise you that in addition to protecting you, I will also protect myself, so... just come home with me, okay?"

Li Xiao asked cautiously, and was about to add, "If you don't agree, I can only continue to stick to you," when he felt the person in his arms nodding slightly.

"Xiaotang? Did you agree?"

Li Xiao's face was filled with disbelief, and he almost wondered if he had just had an illusion.

The next second——

He clearly felt the person in his arms nodding again.

A muffled apology followed.

"sorry……"

Cai Xiaotang's voice sounded apologetic and aggrieved.

Li Xiao finally laughed out, hurriedly raised her face, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and regained her previous "mouth damage".

"You actually apologize? Well, since you cry so pitifully, I will accept the apology. Next time, tell me whatever you think, do you know?"

Cai Xiaotang pouted with red eyes.

Immediately, his lips were pinched "maliciously" and he instantly turned into a little duck.

"You still dare to pout? Are you saying that you look heartless and have a lot of little thoughts? Forget about them and use them all on me? Did I owe you something in my previous life?"

Li Xiao was finally able to look at the person in front of "Education", and his tail was raised in a dangling manner.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't see his proud look, and upon hearing this, she immediately regained her "combat strength" and slapped his hand away angrily.

Then he felt that his behavior just now was too shameful, so he deliberately changed the subject and said: "Okay! This matter is over! No one is allowed to mention it again! I...I want to get up!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she immediately struggled to break free from his arms.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't move.

As soon as I moved, I suddenly realized——

The two of them are not wearing clothes yet!!!

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward for a moment.

The touch of skin against skin suddenly became extremely clear again, making Cai Xiaotang unable to move or move.

Immediately afterwards——

A familiar voice fell on my ears.
