Chapter 118 - 118: Can I Sleep With You?
When Shen Yanqing saw the message, he stood up silently and walked to the balcony.
He casually glanced down and saw a Mercedes-Benz with its hazard lights on.
As if Nan Zhe had specially come to greet him, after confirming that he had seen him, the Mercedes-Benz turned a corner and drove to the building next door.
Shen Yanqing followed the car. Not long after, he saw a figure get out of the driver’s seat and wave at him.
He did not think that Nan Zhe was calling him out of politeness. As a man, he knew what he meant.
In short, the warning was above everything else.
He could completely understand Nan Zhe’s feelings as an elder brother, but he felt a little helpless now. It was as if there was suddenly a mobile surveillance camera beside him, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. He never knew when the other party would appear, but Nan Zhe was everywhere.
After confirming that Nan Zhe had gone upstairs, Shen Yanqing waited for a while before sending him a message. [Are you free recently? I want to treat you to a meal with Nan Ge.]
Nan Zhe had probably already entered the house and quickly replied: [I’m not free.]
It was exactly as Nan Ge had said.
Shen Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief and asked him to pick a time. [If you’re not in a hurry to return to Jiang City tomorrow, why don’t we have a meal together?]
[I’m not free.] Nan Zhe did not reject him on purpose. He really did not have time tomorrow. After he sent Nan Ge back to school tomorrow morning, he had to return to Jiang City immediately.
Originally, he was in Jiang City tonight, but Qi Yan had something to do at the last minute and had to return to the studio, so he drove her over.
It was very late again. He was indeed very tired today, so he did not plan to drive to Jiang City at night.
He called Shen Yanqing since he was around.
Nan Zhe probably sensed that his tone was too stiff, so he added and explained to Shen Yanqing,
[Let’s talk about it another day. I’m busy recently. I’ll call you when I have time.
It’s just a meal. What’s the hurry?]
The next morning, Nan Ge sat up in bed with the doll in her arms. What greeted her was a completely unfamiliar environment.
In the room, the curtains were closed, but the lamp was on, enough for her to see the layout of her surroundings.
The renovation style was familiar.
Soon, she thought of what happened before she slept. At that time, she was still in Shen Yanqing’s car…
At the thought of this, Nan Ge lifted the blanket and went out to look for him.
Her coat, shoes, and socks were no longer there, and there were no shoes for her here. She could only go out barefoot.
As soon as she opened the door, Nan Ge stopped in her tracks.
The door of the room opposite was also open. From her angle, she could see that the blanket on the bed inside was slightly raised as if someone was there.
After hesitating for a moment, Nan Ge walked in gently.
The lights in this bedroom were not on, so she could only barely see the layout through the faint light pouring in from the corridor.
There was not much in the room. The layout was neat and everything could be seen. On the sofa was the man’s suit and tie from yesterday.
Nan Ge stood by the bed and looked at the figure on the bed. She was sure again that this was indeed Shen Yanqing’s house.
He was still asleep.
Afraid of waking him up, Nan Ge planned to leave after confirming it.
However, Shen Yanqing had always slept lightly. The quiet and empty room could not hide all the small sounds.
Hearing the commotion, Shen Yanqing slowly opened his eyes and felt a shadow swaying by the bed in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and locked his gaze on the petite figure.
Nan Ge turned around, bent down, and walked out sneakily.
“Nan Ge?”
“Huh?” The little penguin subconsciously stood up and replied.
She hesitated and turned around. Shen Yanqing happened to sit up on the bed.
He lowered his head and turned on his phone to look at the time. It was five o’clock.
“Why are you awake so early?”
The phone screen in his palm was still lit up, and it illuminated his facial features from below. Nan Ge could see the smile on his face clearly.
He was sitting there, wearing a clean and soft white T-shirt. The blanket fell loosely around his waist. Because he had just woken up, he was still a little lazy.
Nan Ge was so attracted by his “beauty” that she forgot to reply.
The man was very patient and continued asking, “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? How about I make something for you to fill your stomach first?” She quickly shook her head. “I’m not hungry yet.”
“I… I just woke up suddenly and came out to see where I was. I didn’t come in on purpose. You… you didn’t close the door.”
Nan Ge hugged her doll and stood on the spot timidly. She muttered softly, “Don’t you usually close the door when you sleep? If someone comes to your house to stay, why don’t you close the door?”
She remembered that he had a cousin who had stayed with him before.
Did Shen Yanqing have a habit of sleeping without closing the door?
“Not really. I don’t like light or sound when I sleep, so the doors, windows, and curtains are usually closed.”
He explained to her. “You slept soundly last night. I was worried that your dormitory was not tidied up, so I brought you here. Don’t worry. After I placed you in the guest room, I came out and reported it to your brother.”
“As for not closing the door, I took care of some work last night and rested late. I guessed that I might still be asleep when you woke up, so I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to find me. I was afraid you would be afraid if you were alone here, so I left the door open.”
Shen Yanqing smiled and said, “This way, when you come out, you can see me across from you. I don’t usually sleep very soundly. I thought that if you came out, I could probably hear you in time.”
Nan Ge exclaimed and her eyelashes fluttered.
After looking at each other for a long time, Shen Yanqing swept his gaze over her bare feet on the floor. It was still a little cold during this season. He frowned and asked her, “Do you want to sleep a little longer?”
Nan Ge thought for a moment and nodded. “I… I’m still a little sleepy.”
After a pause, she asked back,
“Are you still going to sleep?”
“I might sleep a little longer. It’s still early.” Shen Yanqing smiled. He lifted the blanket and got up to send her to the bedroom opposite.
Seeing him get up, Nan Ge pursed her lips and stared at his back. She suddenly asked in a low voice, “Can I sleep with you?”
Not far away, the man’s back stiffened.
Shen Yanqing forced himself to look up and said in his usual tone, “Do you have trouble sleeping in an unfamiliar bed? Or are you afraid to sleep alone?”
He thought that she should be afraid. There couldn’t be any other reason, right?
He exnalea silently ana let nis neartDeat return to normal.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Nan Ge shook her head hard under his gaze. “I don’t have a problem with the bed and I sleep very well.” “I just… want to sleep with you.”
Her voice was very soft, but Shen Yanqing still heard her clearly.
“Just like before in the ward. I want you to hug me to sleep.”
With a thump, the old man’s heartbeat, which was already abnormally fast, was completely messed up..
