Chapter 233 - 233: Covering Him with a Blanket (1)
As soon as this thought appeared, Bai Xianyu subconsciously rejected it.
‘It can’t be.’
However, she could not ignore the strong premonition in her heart.
Actually, the way to verify this conjecture was very simple.
If he was here to accompany her, he would definitely come over to check on her when she was having nightmares.
Bai Xianyu moved her hand away from her knees and touched her forehead and lips. Then, she moved to the edge of the bed. A faint wet and cold feeling wrapped around her fingers. It was clearly cold, but in the next second, she suddenly let go as if she had been burned.
She caught a glimpse of the direction her head was facing when she fell asleep. Upon closer inspection, it was obvious that there were shoe prints and water stains.
Bai Xianyu sat quietly for a while, her eyes lowered, and her fingers subconsciously grabbed the corners of the blanket.
The sound of the rain outside became louder.
In the end, she got off the bed, found a clean blanket, and carried it out. Then, she walked quietly to Xie Xingyun.
Bai Xianyu squatted down beside him and covered him with the blanket.
In the darkness, the corners of the man’s lips curled up slightly.
Bai Xianyu covered him up and turned to leave, but her thin ankle was grabbed by a hot hand.
She was stunned and turned around to meet Xie Xingyun’s smiling eyes.
Bai Xianyu felt a little guilty for some reason. “You’re awake?”
Xie Xingyun smiled and nodded.
Bai Xianyu silently despised herself for asking this question. Since he had opened his eyes, he must be awake.
Iler blanket was piled around Xie Xingyun’s waist as he sat up. She watched as the man grabbed her feet and pulled her over.
Bai Xianyu almost lost her balance and pulled back. “What are you doing?”
Xie Xingyun said, “You stepped on the water.”
Bai Xianyu felt a soft blanket under her feet. In a few moves, Xie Xingyun let go of one of her feet and grabbed the other.
Bai Xianyu hurriedly said, “I’ll do it myself!”
Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows and let go.
She stepped on it randomly. The blanket was very wide, and some of it fell on the ground. After she finished wiping, before she could straighten her back, Xie Xingyun stood up and carried her horizontally.
Bai Xianyu tilted her body and subconsciously hugged his broad shoulders.
“Why are you awake?”
“The thunder is too loud.”
“Are you afraid?”
“I’m not afraid.”
Bai Xianyu thought for a moment. “Hurry up and go back to your ship. It’ll be dawn soon. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“Really?” A trace of mischief flashed across Xie Xingyun’s eyes. “Then who was that coward who was so afraid that she crawled under the blanket just now?”
Bai Xianyu blushed and bit her lip. “When did you wake up?”
Xie Xingyun said seriously, “Let me think about it.”
As he spoke, he carried her to the bed. “It’s probably…”
Seeing Bai Xianyu’s nervous expression, Xie Xingyun smiled roguishly.
“When you first opened your eyes.”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
Xie Xingyun thought of how he had woken up earlier by a commotion. Bai Xianyu had crawled under the blanket and was fearfully keeping one eye open and the other closed, while biting her red lips tightly. He thought she was extremely cute.
A faint fragrance filled the air, covering the damp and sticky smell.
Bai Xianyu was about to explain something to salvage her image, but her eyelids paused. “Then, when I saw you moving just now, were you scaring me?”
Xie Xingyun’s smile froze. “The wind probably blew my hair.”
“The windows are all closed. Where’s the wind?”
On the bed, Bai Xianyu stood up and stared at his handsome face.
Xie Xingyun coughed. “It’s my fault.”
Bai Xianyu said, “Can a single sentence offset it?”
“Then what do you want?”
The girl thought about it seriously. “I haven’t finished embroidering the brocade pouch for you yet. I’ll embroider one fish less for you.”
Xie Xingyun’s face darkened.
“No, not a single one less.”
This was the first time in her life that she had made a brocade pouch for him.
The first gift she’d ever given him.
Bai Xianyu frowned. “It’s just one.”
Xie Xingyun said firmly, “No.”
“Oh, alright then.” Bai Xianyu said gloomily, “You’re my savior. You have the final say.”
“Is there anything else you want?”
“Not for the time being.” Bai Xianyu threw herself into the soft blanket. “I’m not afraid anymore. You can leave.”
There was no movement in front of the bed.
After a while, she turned her head around and lay on the blanket. “Your clothes are wet. If you don’t go back and change, you’ll catch a cold tomorrow. Don’t even think about asking me to take care of you.”
Xie Xingyun’s heart stirred..
