After finishing the noodles, Tong Xiaohuai was forcibly taken back to the bedroom by Yan Bo to sleep.
"I'm sleeping, what about you?" Tong Xiaohuai lay in bed, but her hand was tugging at Yan Bo's sleeve, refusing to let go.
It seems the aftereffects of being out of contact won't disappear anytime soon.
Yan Bo looked at her pitiful face and was about to say that he wanted to go back to the company, but he quickly swallowed the words back and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Can I just watch you sleep here?"
Tong Xiaohuai really wanted him to stay with her, but she couldn't bear to let him sit on the edge of the bed with her.
He had just been busy for seven or eight days. Judging from his dark circles under his eyes, which looked like a panda's, he was probably even more tired than she was.
She looked at his dark eyes and his swollen face from the two slaps she had given him, hesitated for a moment, then lifted the covers and asked him, "How about you sleep with me?"
After saying that, her face involuntarily turned red again.
Yan Bo smiled, leaned over and kissed her on the corner of her lips, then grabbed her hand and pulled the blanket back over her.
"Silly girl, don't trust a man's self-control too much. Go to sleep, I'll just watch over you!"
Yanbo knew that she wanted to take things further because she lacked a sense of security, but he didn't want to give her a sense of security by having sex with her.
A sense of security is actually quite intangible; it's more of a psychological trust and sense of entrustment.
He didn't want her to make a hasty decision in a moment of impulse and give herself to him.
Tong Xiaohuai finally mustered up the courage to take the initiative, only to be rejected, leaving her feeling incredibly embarrassed.
"You don't want to be with me anymore...?"
Tong Xiaohuai had heard Xiao Mi talk about her past relationships, and in Xiao Mi's opinion, most of the men were lustful.
Yan Bo sighed deeply, "Silly girl, of course I want to have you completely! But the timing isn't right now, you know? Be good, don't overthink it, go to sleep!"
Yan Bo felt that he must have owed this girl too much in his past life, for she was teasing him so relentlessly.
God knows, he's at the prime of his life, and just being so close to her, feeling her presence and allure, is enough to make his heart flutter.
She would never know how much self-control he had to maintain his distance from her in such a private place as the bedroom.
Tong Xiaohuai blinked, looking at him with a mixture of grievance and helplessness, "What timing?"
Yan Bo clutched his chest, forcibly suppressing his heart from leaping out of his chest, and reached out with his other hand to cover her beautiful eyes that could easily captivate him.
"Once you calm down, at some point on some day, when the timing and atmosphere are right, it will happen."
This girl, I wonder how alluring her eyes are. If she stares at him for a few more seconds, he probably won't be able to keep up his gentlemanly act.
“But…” Although Tong Xiaohuai couldn’t see him, she still wanted to argue. “I didn’t ask you to do anything, is it not even okay if we sleep together?”
Yan Bo still shook his head at her compromise request, "No, I can't guarantee I can sleep peacefully."
After Yan Bo finished speaking, he stood up, turned around, and was about to leave.
Tong Xiaohuai stared at his tall, straight back, feeling extremely reluctant to part. She bit her lip and took another step back.
"How about you sleep on the sofa?"
Yan Bo turned to look at her, and she pointed to the sofa not far away, "That's a sofa bed, you can just spread it out and sleep. You're tired too, aren't you? Take a nap before you go to work, okay?"
Yan Bo stood there, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist Tong Xiaohuai's pleading eyes.
"Okay, I'll go back to my room and take a shower. I'll bring the blanket over in a bit, and you can go to sleep first."
Yan Bo told Tong Xiaohuai to go to sleep first, but how could she possibly fall asleep?
Although she was indeed a little sleepy, she was afraid that Yan Bo was lying to her, so she lay on the bed with her eyes open until Yan Bo came in with the blanket, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Yanbo asked, sounding a little annoyed.
"I'll wait for you, who knows if you'll lie to me!" In front of Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohuai was usually as frank as a child.
Yan Bo shook his head helplessly, but he couldn't defend himself because he had just lowered his credibility to a negative number, so it was normal for her not to believe him.
“Pull the sofa bed over to the bedside. I want to have a chat with you,” Tong Xiaohuai instructed him.
Yan Bo glanced at the sofa and estimated that it was several tens of centimeters lower than Tong Xiaohuai's bed, so even if he was next to the bed, there shouldn't be any danger.
"Okay, you should lie down. Don't keep getting out of bed. If you catch a cold, I'll take you back to the hospital."
When Yanbo heard Uncle Du say on the phone that she had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius a couple of days ago, his heart skipped a beat. She wasn't fully recovered yet, so of course he had to keep a close eye on her.
Tong Xiaohuai stuck out her tongue at him, made a face, and then lay back down in bed, revealing only her big, bright eyes.
Yan Bo was strong and easily pushed the sofa bed to the side of the bed, spread it out, put the blankets and pillows on it, and then climbed on it.
"Sigh, you're standing so close, it makes me feel really guilty."
Yan Bo had just lain down and hadn't even had time to cover himself with the blanket when he heard Tong Xiaohuai say something in a low voice.
"Feel guilty about what?" Yan Bo didn't immediately realize what she meant.
Tong Xiaohuai reached out from under the covers and touched his swollen cheek.
"It hurts, doesn't it?"
Yan Bo grabbed her hand, kissed it, and said, "It doesn't hurt, I deserve to be hit!"
Tong Xiaohuai's eyes were full of pity. "What a pity. He's so handsome, and I beat him up like this."
Yan Bo turned to the side, propped his head up with one hand, and smiled at her, saying, "It's okay, I'm already taken, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little ugly."
Tong Xiaohuai was embarrassed by his teasing and forcefully pulled her hand back. "Hmph, don't be so vain. If you're too ugly, I won't want you!"
Yanbo reached out and grabbed her hand again, then put it in his mouth and gently nibbled at it twice.
"I'm sorry, but this is our family rule: goods are not returnable once they leave the store."
Tong Xiaohuai felt a tingling sensation all over her body from his bite, and glared at him sideways with eyes full of spring.
"Our Tong family's rule is that if something is not to our liking or satisfaction, we can return or exchange it unconditionally."
Yan Bo bit down harder, and heard her hiss. "You're willing to do that?"
Tong Xiaohuai snorted a few times, "Why can't I bear to? If you're scared, then hurry up and get your handsome face back, otherwise, I'll go find a handsome male celebrity!"
Yan Bo sat up abruptly, leaned over, and bit her lips twice.
"Honey, do you think I'll let that person have their way?"
Although Tong Xiaohuai was just joking, just hypothetical, a hint of ruthlessness still involuntarily surfaced in Yan Bo's eyes.
He would use every gentle method to coax and pamper her.
He doesn't have the same patience and magnanimity with other people.
