Ning Qiluo: "..."
What does it mean to just find the convergence point?
"How did this escalate to a personal attack? How am I a scumbag? You're talking nonsense," Ning Qiluo retorted to Jiang Yingchi with conviction.
Seeing that Jiang Yingchi ignored her, Ning Qiluo put down her script and moved a little closer to him: "Jiang Yingchi, if you're really not leaving tonight, can you sleep on the sofa?"
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement."
You can't climb into my bed in the middle of the night!
"Jiang Yingchi, I'm serious, or I'll call the police!"
Even after she threatened to call the police, Jiang Yingchi still ignored her.
Ning Qiluo felt distressed and her voice became nasal: "I'm scared, I'm really scared. Think about it, I'm just a naive 19-year-old girl, inexperienced in the ways of the world. Being alone in a room with a man late at night, especially since I don't know him very well, even if he's handsome, it can't protect me from danger."
After speaking, Ning Qiluo touched the corner of her eye; there were no tears.
These tear ducts are more trouble than they're worth; they're just there to shed a few tears at crucial moments.
However, the act was quite convincing.
Jiang Yingchi slowly got up, pulled Ning Qiluo up as well, and led her to the bedside. Ning Qiluo was stunned: "I, I..."
"What? You're still not asleep?"
Ning Qiluo stared at him with wide eyes.
Jiang Yingchi gently tugged at her lips, "Don't be afraid of me, okay?"
Because of his expression and his words, Ning Qiluo was stunned for a few seconds. Then Jiang Yingchi pressed her down to sit down and said to her, "I don't want to sleep in the bed, and I don't want to leave. I just want to stay with you, is that okay?"
Why did his words sound somewhat heartbreaking...?
Ning Qiluo frowned slightly, "You..."
"Go to sleep, or I'll sleep in the bed." He interrupted her.
Ning Qiluo quickly lay down, covered herself with the blanket, and said, "I'm all better."
Jiang Yingchi smiled, but the smile was silent.
She leaned slightly forward and said, "Goodnight, A'Luo."
He then got up, turned off the light, took a chair, sat by the window, and looked at the moonlight outside, the background desolate...
Ning Qiluo slowly peeked out from under the covers.
The light was not very bright.
She could only vaguely see his figure sitting by the window, and the chair.
To be honest, Ning Qiluo didn't believe him at all. Maybe he would come to her bed as soon as she fell asleep and then accuse her of deliberately seducing him. Her mind was full of such sham scams.
So she remained motionless, always on guard, to prevent Jiang Yingchi from trying to take advantage of her by sleeping with her.
I don't know how much time passed, but the figure in front of the window remained motionless, like a statue.
On the other hand, Ning Qiluo couldn't stay awake any longer. Her eyelids were so heavy that she closed them and slept until dawn.
...
the next day.
Ning Qiluo woke up, her blank mind cleared, and she sat up abruptly.
"Good morning, Miss Ning. It's another pleasant day."
Jones walked to the bedside, placed his hands on his abdomen, bent slightly, and smiled as he greeted Ning Qiluo, who had just woken up, with a "Good morning."
Ning Qiluo took a while to react, then rubbed her hair: "Good morning, Jones. Where's Jiang Yingchi?"
Jones replied, "Miss Ning, Mr. Jiang is waiting for you to have breakfast."
He hasn't left yet!
Ning Qiluo's good mood from waking up early instantly turned sour. She got out of bed and put on her slippers, but when she noticed the chair by the window, she paused.
She turned to look at the bed.
She slept very soundly last night, maintaining the same sleeping position inside, while the outside remained neat.
Did Jiang Yingchi really sit in that chair all night last night?
She looked down at herself.
"Huh? What's this?"
