Chapter 197 A Little Closer

"Do you prefer sleeping inside or outside?"

Seeing that she was stunned and had no reaction, Ji Bingqian raised his hand and patted the mattress beside him lightly.

Xu Yueqing then spoke hastily: "Let's go outside."

After Ji Bingqian agreed, he didn't say anything else.

Xu Yueqing's scalp tingled when he looked at her, and her eyes hurriedly fell back on the computer screen in front of her.

Lines of code flashed before her eyes, but she couldn't concentrate at all.

There was clearly only one more person in the room, and he even breathed very softly, but that invisible presence was like an airtight net, enveloping her tightly.

Xu Yueqing, focus!

Time passed quickly. When she finally ran through all the data given by Mr. Tian and made a preliminary classification and comparison, she felt a sharp pain in her neck belatedly.

She raised her hand to rub her sore neck, turned around, and wanted to tell Ji Bingqian that she would be well soon, but found that Ji Bingqian had fallen asleep.

He lay on his side, facing her. He no longer had the aloofness he had during the day. The sleeping man's facial features seemed much softer, his thin lips slightly pursed, and he had let down his guard, revealing a rare sense of peace.

Xu Yueqing's movements unconsciously became lighter.

She quietly closed the computer and turned off the desk lamp.

The room darkened instantly, with only the thin moonlight filtering in from the window.

She tiptoed into the bathroom to wash her hands, and when she came out, her footsteps stopped at the bedside for some unknown reason.

Her gaze was uncontrollably glued to Ji Bingqian's sleeping profile.

Master Ji Jiu.

Master Ji Jiu, who is respected by everyone in the Beijing circle.

Xu Yueqing silently repeated this name in his heart. An indescribable emotion, like a vine, quietly climbed up his heart, with a bit of sourness and a bit of bitterness.

Fate really played a huge joke on her.

She never imagined that one day, she would be lying in the same bed with Jiang Chejin's uncle.

Xu Yueqing took a deep breath, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, then breathed softly, carefully lifted the corner of the quilt, and lay down on the edge of the bed.

The bed is big, but there is only one quilt.

Ji Bingqian wrapped himself in most of the soft down quilt, leaving only a small corner for her.

Xu Yueqing lay flat on her back, her body as tense as a taut string, not daring to move at all.

She closed her eyes and tried to hypnotize herself to fall asleep quickly.

Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she suddenly felt a weight, a warm body temperature covering her body.

Xu Yueqing was so frightened that her whole body froze and she suddenly opened her eyes.

She turned her head and met Ji Bingqian's deep black eyes.

Ji Bingqian was lying sideways, supporting his head with one hand, and pulling the quilt over her with the other hand.

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Xu Yueqing subconsciously clutched the bed sheet beneath her, her voice a little dry due to nervousness, "Did I wake you up?"

Ji Bingqian shook his head.

Xu Yueqing felt uncomfortable when he looked at her.

Her gaze moved downwards and landed on the quilt that covered her tightly.

He gave her most of the quilt.

After hesitating for two seconds, Xu Yueqing moved aside and whispered, "I'll give you some of the quilt."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Bingqian moved closer to her.

The distance between the two was instantly shortened.

So close that Xu Yueqing could clearly feel the warm breath coming from him.

A little closer, almost touching.

Xu Yueqing's body reacted faster than his brain, and he froze completely.
