"Yes, yes, I was just being presumptuous. Go to sleep, I'll sleep on the sofa."
"OK."
Hong Zhenzhen got up and went back to her room.
Ye Qiu lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
At three in the morning, Ye Qiu, still half asleep, sensed someone beside him.
He instantly regained his senses because the person next to him was Hong Zhenzhen.
Hong Zhenzhen carefully covered Ye Qiu with the blanket.
She didn't leave afterward, but squatted down to the side and carefully examined Ye Qiu's appearance.
"She is indeed very good-looking."
Hong Zhenzhen muttered to herself, extending a finger and gently tracing Ye Qiu's straight nose.
Ye Qiu reached out and suddenly grabbed Hong Zhenzhen's fingers.
Hong Zhenzhen was startled and tried to pull her hand back, but Ye Qiu opened his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I...I was worried you were cold, so I brought you a blanket."
Hong Zhenzhen said nervously.
"Don't you need blankets?"
“We have air conditioning in our room, so we don’t need blankets,” Hong Zhenzhen said.
"Okay, then you can go back to sleep."
"But you're still holding my fingers." Hong Zhenzhen blushed.
"Can I sleep here with you? Don't get me wrong, I just want to chat with you." Ye Qiu's voice was very low.
"Don't try to be a jerk, I can't be bothered with you."
Hong Zhenzhen shook off Ye Qiu's hand and ran back to her bedroom in a rather disheveled state.
This intensely ambiguous atmosphere ended when Hong Zhenzhen shyly returned to her room.
However, Ye Qiu did not get a good night's sleep.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Hong Zhenzhen slapped Ye Qiu's thigh hard, waking him up.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Qiu rubbed his eyes.
"Look around you, what's going on here?"
Hong Zhenzhen's face was frosty.
Ye Qiu turned his head and glanced around, seeing Chen Jia lying beside him.
Chen Jia was practically clinging to Ye Qiu, sleeping soundly, with one of her long legs wrapped around Ye Qiu's waist in a very intimate position.
Ye Qiu was startled and quickly kicked Chen Jia.
Chen Jia was kicked off the sofa by Ye Qiu while he was asleep.
Ouch.
Chen Jia cried out in pain, clutching her buttocks as she regained consciousness.
What are you doing?
Hong Zhenzhen quickly helped Chen Jia up.
Ye Qiu smiled wryly and said, "I don't know how she got here. It has nothing to do with me."
"Jiajia, you tell me, what happened? How did you end up sleeping with Ye Qiu?"
Hong Zhenzhen stared at Chen Jia with an unfriendly look in her eyes.
"I...I don't know either, I don't know."
Chen Jia hurriedly waved her hand: "Zhenzhen, I can't deny that after I found out last night that Ye Qiu was that person, I really admired him. But you know what kind of person I am. I'm not a casual girl. I really don't know how I ended up here."
"Uh, I remember now," Hong Zhenzhen said. "Don't you have sleepwalking? Has it relapsed?"
"Right, right, I forgot about that." Chen Jia realized, "It must be sleepwalking."
"Okay, it's not your fault. I was a little loud just now. I'm sorry."
Hong Zhenzhen said softly.
Chen Jia glanced at Ye Qiu, her face slightly flushed.
She wasn't actually experiencing sleepwalking at all.
Last night, when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I saw Ye Qiu and couldn't move. Plus, I was very sleepy at the time, so I just fell asleep next to Ye Qiu.
But she dared not tell Hong Zhenzhen this secret, not even if she were beaten to death.
Ye Qiu glanced at Chen Jia and warned her sternly, "I don't care if you're sleepwalking or something, you're not allowed to do this again."
"knew."
Chen Jia stuck out her tongue, somewhat embarrassed.
"Alright, let's have breakfast. It's ready," Hong Zhenzhen said.
"Truly virtuous and capable," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Hong Zhenzhen was stunned. Zhenzhen is so virtuous?
That sounds so strange.
But Hong Zhenzhen didn't pay much attention and served Ye Qiu and Chen Jia a bowl of porridge each.
Breakfast consisted of congee and fried dough sticks, a very simple and unpretentious meal, but Ye Qiu ate it with great relish.
I remember the last time I had this kind of breakfast was a long, long time ago.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Hong Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at Ye Qiu: "Don't choke."
"Zhenzhen, after we finish eating, I'll take you to work," Ye Qiu said.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered to be in Beijing? Aren't you afraid of driving me to work?" Hong Zhenzhen asked.
"Well, it's okay if it happens once in a while."
"That won't work either. Besides, I'm used to going to work alone. If someone suddenly gives me a ride, I'll feel really awkward. After all, we don't have any special relationship. People might misunderstand if they see us like this," Hong Zhenzhen said with a smile.
"Let them misunderstand. It's okay. If anyone asks, I'll just say you're my girlfriend," Ye Qiu said softly.
