Chapter 492 Sleepwalking

For a moment I forgot to push her away.

Suddenly, the warmth on the lips disappeared, and Zhao Yuanyuan fell onto the bed, her eyes still closed, her breathing even.

Ye Jinqian stood there in a daze, not moving for a long time.

It took him a long while to come back to his senses. His fingers touched his lips, and it seemed as if the warmth from before was still there.

He calmed his mind, suppressed the fire in his heart, and sighed softly.

"No drinking in the future."

It was the first time he knew that she had a habit of sleepwalking after drinking.

“It’s so hot…”

She began to pull at her nightgown, mumbling something.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After a while, he curled up again.

“It’s so cold…”

Ye Jinqian lifted the quilt and tucked her in.

She simply held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Don't go... don't leave me, Mom..."

Ye Jinqian:……

With no other options, he could only lie down next to her.

He barely slept that night, getting up every hour to give her water.

In the second half of the night, the fever was basically gone.

The girl also slept more soundly.

He leaned aside and took a nap.

He fell asleep near dawn.

When Zhao Yuanyuan woke up, it was already noon.

My whole body was drenched in sweat and I felt much more relaxed.

She stretched herself and realized there was someone next to her.

When I turned around, I saw a familiar face with a faint dark tint under his eyes.

She covered her mouth in surprise and looked at the furnishings in the room. This was not a guest room, but Ye Jinqian's master bedroom.

How come she is here?

I looked down at myself and saw that I was completely covered in the quilt.

The man was sleeping on one side, but her hands were still tightly holding his arm.

?

!

She wouldn't hold me like this all night, would she?

He withdrew his hand and prepared to get up from the bed.

She was about to explode after sleeping in the same bed with Ye Jinqian for the whole night!

Ugh!

Why does this sound so strange...

Ye Jinqian noticed her movement, opened his eyes, and saw her stand up.

"Awake?" He had just woken up and his voice was still a little hoarse.

Zhao Yuanyuan blushed for no reason, nodded, and smiled awkwardly: "Last night...why was I here?"

Ye Jinqian's face darkened a little: "You don't remember?"

She looked confused: "Remember what?"

She looked at herself, her nightgown was still on her body, and Ye Jinqian was a gentleman, he would definitely not do anything to her.

She only remembered getting in the car, and then it was so hot inside that she soon fell asleep.

"I remember now, Professor Ye, you were the one who carried me out of the car, right? I was sleeping so deeply... But why did you carry me to your master bedroom?"

Ye Jinqian felt his blood rushing to his head.

He held his throbbing temples and tried to make his voice sound steady.

"You sleepwalked in here."

"Sleepwalking?" Zhao Yuanyuan smiled and waved her hands. "How is that possible? I sleep very deeply. Only when I'm drunk can I..."

"No, I drank last night!"

She doesn't have the habit of sleepwalking, but she loses control when she's drunk.

She drank champagne at the party last night.

In an instant, the whole person seemed to be cooked.

She hurriedly got down to the ground, put on her slippers, and then bowed to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Professor Ye!"

Ye Jinqian pinched his brows and said, "No drinking in the future!"

"yes!"

"There are medicines by the bed in the guest room. Your fever just subsided in the middle of the night. Don't go anywhere today. Just drink water and take medicines here."

As if she had received a special pardon, Zhao Yuanyuan nodded quickly and ran out of the room.

The guest bedroom and the master bedroom are not far from each other, no wonder she sleepwalked here.

She ran into the guest room and saw the medicine on the bedside, and her heart felt warm.

Too bad there aren't any of her clothes here.

Her nightgown was below her knees, and after a quick wash, it was already almost noon.

When he opened his phone, there were only messages from their small group chat. Chen Guihua, who was pinned to the top of the list, hadn't sent any messages.

The chat time is still the day before yesterday.

I feel inexplicably lost.

It seems that my mother didn’t come back to the apartment last night. She might have been busy.

She put down her phone. There were not many dishes in the kitchen.

Ye Jinqian usually doesn’t leave leftovers, he buys food on the same day he eats it.

She took out the food from the refrigerator with familiarity.

After the two bowls of noodles were cooked, Ye Jinqian came back from outside with a bag in his hand.

"I asked my assistant to bring a change of clothes."

"Okay, let's eat first. I saw there were only noodles in the refrigerator, so I cooked two bowls."

The aroma is very nice.

Zhao Yuanyuan has very good craftsmanship.

Ye Jinqian can cook. He has been cooking for himself for many years while living abroad, but his cooking skills are still far behind Zhao Yuanyuan's.

Green vegetables mixed with thin noodles and topped with a poached egg are simple yet very appetizing.

The two sat facing each other.

"By the way, I also steamed dumplings. I saw some steamed dumplings I made last time in the refrigerator."

As she said this, she was about to stand up.

"Let me do it, you eat first."

Ye Jinqian stood up and walked to the kitchen, bringing out steaming dumplings.

He simply rolled up his sleeves twice, revealing his muscular forearms.

Zhao Yuanyuan always thought his hands were very beautiful.

The joints are distinct and slender, but the forearms are extremely powerful.

"Did you count how many noodles you ate?"

While I was in a daze, a man's teasing voice came from above my head.

She quickly lowered her head and ate her noodles.

"Slow down, no one is competing with you."

After eating a bowl of noodles, I felt much warmer.

"Are you full?"

She nodded contentedly.

Ye Jinqian raised his eyebrows and stood up to clean up the dishes.

"Professor Ye, let me do it."

"You sit down."

She stopped and watched him swiftly carry the dishes into the kitchen and put them in the dishwasher.

At this time, her cell phone rang.

It’s Chen Guihua calling.

She picked up the phone excitedly, and the tone on the other end was not very good.

"Yuanyuan, you're not at home?"

"Mom, I was sick yesterday, so I didn't go back."

"Where are you?"

She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and looked at the man in the kitchen, not knowing what to say.

Her mother doesn't like her associating with Ye Jinqian.

"Are you with Professor Ye?"

The person on the other side guessed her thoughts immediately.

"Mom, don't get me wrong. It was Professor Ye who sent me back yesterday. I had a fever..."

"No need to explain, Yuanyuan, get ready and come with me to meet someone."

Before she could ask clearly, the other party hung up the phone.

She didn't know why, but she felt a little aggrieved.

Her fever has gone down, but her throat and nasal congestion are still not healed.

Her mother doesn't care about her at all...

Ye Jinqian walked out and saw her lost look.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Professor Ye, I'm leaving first. My mother asked me to go back and said she wanted to meet a friend."

Ye Jinqian frowned: "Your cold is not completely healed yet."

She waved her hand: "It's okay, I'll go change my clothes first."

With that, she carried her garment bag into the guest room, changed quickly, picked up her coat and headed for the door.

Ye Jinqian held her back and said, "Send me the location when you get there."

"Okay, by the way, Professor Ye, this dress is new, right? I'll transfer the money to you later."

Not sure what he said wrong, but Ye Jinqian's face showed displeasure.

"Be careful on the road."
