Soul Land: Phoenix & Tiger (A Rivals-to-Lovers Story)
Chapter 7: Too Close for Comfort
Xiaotao woke up feeling warm.
Her first thought? Damn, this blanket is nice.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
(Wait. Since when did my blanket breathe?!)
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
Oh. Hell. No!!!
Her face was pressed against Dai Yueheng’s chest.
Their hands were tangled together.
And his stupid, peaceful, smug-looking sleeping face was right there.
Xiaotao froze. Processing.
Dai Yueheng’s slow, steady breathing was way too close.
His arm tightened around her like he was hugging a damn pillow.
ABORT MISSION. ABORT MISSION.
Xiaotao did the only logical thing.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
—THE HELL?!
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Woke up with a yell, clutching his stomach* WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Jumped away, horrified* YOU—YOU—
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
What?! *He was still half-asleep and very confused.*
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
YOU WERE ALL OVER ME, YOU PERVERT!!!
The blanket.
Which was… completely wrapped around her.
Xiaotao blinked. Processing. Again.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Crossed his arms, a slow, smug smirk creeping onto his face* Huh. Looks like someone stole the blanket in their sleep.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Eye twitched* Lies.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*He pointed* Exhibit A: You, looking guilty.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Huffed* That proves nothing.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*He smirked* Exhibit B: Me, freezing to death all night.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
Oh, please. *She rolled her eyes* You were holding onto me like I was your last meal.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*eye twitched* I WAS ASLEEP.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Shrugged* Still sounds like a you problem.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Took a deep breath. In. Out.* You’re impossible.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
and you are dramatic
He swore on his ancestors—one day, he would win against this woman.
But today was not that day.
