Chapter 149 "Then I'll coax you to sleep?"
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Only the two people's shallow breathing mixed in the air filled with the faint aroma of medicine.
Wen Duo curled up on the edge of the big bed, wrapped in her own quilt, like a silkworm trapped in its own cocoon.
She closed her eyes and tried to count sheep, trying to force herself to fall asleep.
One sheep, two sheep, three Ji Huaishen.......
wrong!
Wen Duo suddenly opened her eyes and wrinkled her face in annoyance.
Her body seemed to have a will of its own, instinctively seeking that familiar source of heat and reassuring fragrance.
But all around him was the bedding that he had warmed slightly, and next to him was the pillow barrier that stretched across the middle of the bed, symbolizing a "ban."
She knew that once she got past the pillow barrier, the other side would be where she wanted to be.
But........
Can't.
Wen Duo was very troubled. She was worried about Ji Huaishen's injury, but she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to overturn the rules she set. She could only sigh silently in her heart.
You are asking for trouble.
"Not asleep?"
The man's low, magnetic voice rang out in the silence, startling Wen Duo.
He had his back to her, so how could he know everything?
"...No." She answered in a low voice, feeling a little guilty as if she had been exposed.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Ji Huaishen's voice was emotionless, as calm as if he was talking about the weather.
But if you listen carefully, there seems to be a faint smile hidden in the ending tone.
"I can't...sleep." Wen Duo tugged at the corner of the quilt and told the truth.
She felt sleepy and her eyelids were heavy, but deep down she felt like something was missing, empty, and she couldn't completely relax and fall asleep.
"Chat?" he suggested.
"don't want,"
Wen Duo immediately refused, her voice muffled:
"Chatting makes me more energetic and makes me sleepier."
What she clearly lacked was not a chat, but an embrace where she could curl up in peace.
Ji Huaishen seemed to ponder for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice lowered a few notches, appearing particularly alluring in the darkness:
"Then I'll put you to sleep?"
Wen Duo blinked, her curiosity aroused:
"How do you coax her?"
Could he even sing a lullaby?
After all, he didn't seem to have said he could sing.
"It'll help you use up some of your energy. When you're tired, you'll naturally fall asleep." His tone was intriguing.
However, Wen Duo did not understand the hint at once.
"Now?"
Wen Duo looked at the pitch-black bedroom, full of doubts:
"How can I exercise at this late hour? Yoga? Push-ups?"
She really couldn't imagine the scene.
Ji Huaishen chuckled softly and reminded:
"Didn't you fall asleep yesterday because you were exhausted? You fell asleep so quickly that you didn't even have time to clean up."
Wen Duo: “….”
Wen Duo: “!!!”
So this is the “exercise” method!
Wen Duo's cheeks flushed instantly, but fortunately it was not visible in the dark.
This hooligan!
abnormal!
A scoundrel with a head full of dirty laundry!
"This, this is not exercise!" She retorted shyly, her voice trembling a little.
"The result was achieved, it's all the same."
Ji Huaishen's voice was a little coaxing:
“It’s a pleasant process and the effect is remarkable, isn’t it?”
Wenduo choked.
Indeed...Later last night, she felt dizzy, as if floating in the clouds. Extreme happiness and fatigue intertwined, and she was dragged into a deep and sweet dream almost instantly.
From this perspective, this method...
seemingly........
Indeed...
no!
This is clearly what this pervert wants to achieve by retreating in order to advance!
She must not be fooled!
So, Wen Duo tried to make her voice sound strong and righteous:
"No! You...you pervert! Don't even think about it!"
Ji Huaishen didn't seem surprised by her reaction at all, and even responded indifferently:
"Yeah, okay."
Did he just give up so easily?
Wen Duo was a little surprised, and also a little inexplicably... lost?
She quickly extinguished this dangerous sign, wrapped herself tightly again, leaving only the top of her furry head exposed, and forced herself to close her eyes and sleep.
The room fell silent again.
Ten minutes...
Half an hour...
One hour.......
Time seemed to be infinitely stretched in the darkness, and every second crawled slowly with an indescribable feeling of emptiness in my heart.
Wen Duo remained curled up, motionless, like a stubborn statue, only the disobedient heart in her chest restlessly knocked at the silence.
Behind him, Ji Huaishen's breathing was steady and long, and it sounded like he had already fallen asleep.
This made her even more annoyed and more...desirable.
The lack of a sense of security was like a fine silk thread, entwining her heart, getting tighter and tighter.
The body's instincts were clamoring, almost breaking through the fragile dam built by reason.
The warmth of that embrace, that reassuring breath, was so close, yet separated by a ridiculous and pathetic pillow barrier.
In the end, the string of reason was completely broken.
Wen Duo turned around very quietly and slowly, looking at the broad silhouette in the darkness. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, with a hint of tentativeness and a subtle grievance:
"Ji Huaishen, are you... asleep?"
Almost as soon as the words fell, a response came from the other side, low and hoarse, with a lazy nasal tone that had just been awakened:
"Hmm? What's wrong, sweetheart?"
She opened her mouth, but faltered when she was about to speak, and could only mutter something else:
".......It's okay, go to sleep."
The man laughed softly, and the laughter scratched her eardrums like feathers, bringing a slight tremor.
He turned around and faced her. Even though they couldn't see each other's expressions in the dark, Wen Duo could feel his focused, smiling gaze.
"I didn't sleep,"
His voice was very light, with a hint of joy:
"I've been waiting for you to call me."
Wen Duo's cheeks instantly became hot.
He did it on purpose!
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself in the quilt, but she heard him move closer, his warm breath brushing against her hair, and he whispered coaxingly:
"You want me to help you?"
Wen Duo's thoughts were directly exposed, and her ears were red. She could only hide it under the cover of night, mumbling stubbornly, and coming up with the most legitimate excuse:
"You...you're still injured!"
"It doesn't matter,"
His voice came closer, his lips almost touching her earlobe, but the words he said made her tremble all over:
"It's just my hand, not my arm. It won't be a problem."
With a bang, Wen Duo felt all the blood in his body rushing to his head.
This hooligan!
How can you say such things so... so seriously!
"That...that won't work either!"
She stiffened her neck, trying to maintain her shaky dignity:
"No need for you! I.....I can do it myself!"
