Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 977: Why Trouble Another Man?

He could only repeatedly hold her hand, softly or with a firmer grip, fearing that losing control of his emotions would wake her up.

For the first time in his life, he felt like a helpless child.

Seeing Kali’s lips move slightly, as if speaking, he hurriedly leaned in to listen.

"He... Feichen... I’m... sorry..."

Kali’s brows were tightly furrowed, and her hand quickly clenched into a fist. She was dreaming, with tears glistening at the corners of her eyes even in her sleep.

It seemed like she was dreaming of something unpleasant.

He Feichen felt his heart tighten.

He didn’t know what Kali was dreaming about, but he knew her dream must be related to him.

"He Feichen..."

This time, Kali’s sleep-talking was much clearer, as if she was about to wake up.

He Feichen tightly grasped her hand, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

Just with that sentence, Kali’s furrowed brow suddenly relaxed, and her body was no longer tense as before.

Soon, she was asleep again. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Watching this scene, He Feichen felt an indescribable heartache.

She couldn’t let go of him, calling his name in her dreams, shedding tears for him, yet forcing herself to pretend as if she didn’t care at all.

Her act was so convincing that he almost believed it!

He Feichen really wanted to shake her awake and ask her if she truly loved him.

But his pain outweighed his anger. After calming down, He Feichen sat by the bedside for a long time, finally tucking Kali in and quietly leaving the room.

In the hallway on the second floor.

Qin Nanyu was wearing a grey long robe, the belt casually tied in a knot, his tall figure leaning against the wall, staring indifferently at He Feichen who had stealthily sneaked out of Kali’s room.

He scoffed with a smirk, "I thought you planned to stay inside until dawn, didn’t expect you’d actually come out."

He Feichen paused, then retorted, "I feared coming out too early wouldn’t leave you enough time, but I overestimated you—you finish things quite fast."

Qin Nanyu: "..."

He Feichen: "..."

Why must men make things difficult for each other?

The two brothers exchanged banter, neither gaining the upper hand.

Seeing that He Feichen wasn’t feeling right, Qin Nanyu raised an eyebrow, "Want to join me downstairs for a drink?"

He Feichen didn’t stand on ceremony with him and turned to walk ahead.

In the bar downstairs, there were quite a few good bottles.

Though He Feichen was accustomed to a carefree lifestyle, the He Family had never treated this young master poorly. He immediately picked out the most expensive bottle of red wine on the rack and opened it.

Poured himself a full glass and downed it in one gulp.

Before Qin Nanyu could react, he poured himself another glass...

"Are you planning to drink yourself to death here? Are you going to chug such good wine?"

Qin Nanyu stopped him from pouring more, and He Feichen narrowed his eyes, redness around them, and hoarsely said.

"Don’t stop me, I’m feeling awful."

After saying that, He Feichen picked up the wine glass and downed it.

Before Qin Nanyu could ask, he spoke on his own, "Why am I so useless? Couldn’t even protect the woman I love, making her cry for me even in her dreams..."

He Feichen shook the red wine glass in front of him, gave a bitter smile, and drank it all.

Qin Nanyu couldn’t stop him and didn’t want to join in his madness, opening his lips lightly, "Haven’t you handled things quite well? I didn’t expect He Family to back down so quickly."

"What kind of ’well’!"

He Feichen looked both drunk and crazy, his eyes turning bloodshot at the mention of He Family.

"If I really could handle things well, no one from He Family would dare to set their sights on Kali! What back down, it’s just a gamble."
