He Chi walked into the master bedroom. The curtains were opened a finger wide, and he could only see the twinkling lights on the river bank. The light from outside shone into the bedroom, leaving only a faint glow.
Jiang Yining had fallen asleep. She was lying on her side facing the door, her long, soft, slightly curly hair spread on the pillow like dark waves.
He held a pillow he brought from the guest bedroom in one hand and changed into pajamas before coming over.
He Chi closed the door, walked lightly to the inside of the big bed, and lay down on the bed carefully.
The bed was very big, and he and Jiang Yining both lay at the edge, with a long distance between them.
He Chi folded his hands under his head and stared at the bedroom ceiling for a long time, with Jiang Yining's even and gentle breathing in his ears.
Jiang Yining closed her eyes and didn't know where He Chi was, but she could feel that He Chi was not close to her.
It is easy to pretend to be asleep for a while, but it is difficult to pretend to be asleep all the time.
She pricked up her ears and listened for a long time, wondering if He Chi had fallen asleep, as there was no other sound.
Jiang Yining wanted to turn over. He felt tired after being in this position for so long.
Before she could move, she heard He Chi seem to sit up and move closer to her, almost touching her back.
His breath fell on her ear, which was very itchy. Jiang Yining couldn't help but move, and her long eyelashes fluttered irregularly a few times.
He Chi paused as he stretched out his hand. He asked, "Did I wake you up?"
Jiang Yining opened his eyes as He Chi said, pretending to have just woken up, and asked, "You're back?"
He Chi hummed, and explained, "I wanted to check your temperature, worried that you might have a fever again."
Jiang Yining said with a little disappointment, "I don't have a fever."
He Chi was still worried, so he got out of bed and gave her a thermometer. He only moved away a little after making sure she didn't have a fever.
He placed his pillow against Jiang Yining's. It was a two-meter-wide bed, and the two of them slept on the edge of the bed.
The man had no intention of moving back to his original position.
Jiang Yining glanced over there and suggested, "Let's sleep inside."
He Chi acted directly. He moved his pillow to the middle and did not forget to help Jiang Yining move it as well.
The two slept close to each other, but after a while, He Chi began to regret his decision.
The air in his nostrils was filled with the pleasant scent of Jiang Yining. This faint fragrance was like a catalyst, and He Chi tried hard to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
Jiang Yining's hand touched He Chi's arm, and in just a moment, she subconsciously retracted it.
In the darkness, He Chi closed his eyes. Knowing that she was still asleep, he asked, "Are you nervous?"
“No…no.”
There was a slight tremor in her voice when she spoke.
He Chi recognized it immediately.
He asked with a hint of helplessness, "Do you want me to sleep in the guest bedroom?"
Jiang Yining didn't answer directly, but just said, "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."
That means no need.
Jiang Yining really felt that she was not good enough, but it was not her fault. It was just that He Chi's presence was too strong. He was like a furnace, constantly supplying heat to her.
The man's breathing was also heavy, and his slightest movement attracted her attention.
Jiang Yining didn't really want to sleep in a separate bed. If she asked He Chi to move back to the master bedroom, would it seem like she was not reserved enough?
He Chi didn't fall asleep either. He closed his eyes and felt like regretting his decision to temporarily move out of the master bedroom.
If he proposed to move back now, would Jiang Yining think that he was not keeping his word?
We agreed to let her get used to it first, and it’s only been a few days since we started sleeping in separate rooms.
The two of them slept all night with their own thoughts. They slept well at first, but the next day Jiang Yining woke up first and found herself lying in He Chi's arms.
