Chapter 44: Relieving Fire
But his actions were limited to this. He explained: "If you lie down like this, the quilt will leak air."
“…”
After Xiao Beisheng hugged her, he did not take any other action, nor did he take any further steps.
Then, behind Su Man, his steady breathing could be heard.
He fell asleep.
Su Man: “…”
He really just held her and wanted to get comfortable.
Through the thin fabric of her clothes, Xiao Beisheng's body temperature was like boiling magma. His breath sprayed behind her ears, gently and itchyly. The strong male hormone enveloped her, making her very uncomfortable.
She moved slightly, trying to get out of his arms.
The person behind him opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "What happened again?"
“…I, I can’t sleep.”
He was impatient: "Close your eyes, stop imagining that yellow garbage, and you'll probably fall asleep."
Su Man said angrily: "I just slept too much, so I can't sleep now."
"Why, do you want me to help you? I'll make you a little tired, and then you'll fall asleep naturally."
As soon as Xiao Beisheng finished speaking, he was about to take action.
She was so scared that she held his hand.
"Xiao Beisheng!"
"It's okay for you to stay awake until dawn, but don't move around. You know, once a man's passion is ignited, he needs to vent."
“…”
Xiao Beisheng stopped making trouble and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
This time he was sleeping very soundly, and he didn't react at all when Suman quietly moved his arm away from her.
Perhaps influenced by Xiao Beisheng's good sleep, Su Man gradually became sleepy and slowly fell into a dream.
The next day, when Su Man woke up, she was still lying in Xiao Beisheng's arms the same position as last night, with her head resting on his arm. For a moment, she thought she had returned to the time when she dominated Qin Ganyun Mansion.
Xiao Beisheng also woke up.
Su Man left in front of him. Before Xiao Beisheng opened his eyes, he held his arm and frowned in pain.
Su Man felt a little guilty: "Maybe I slept with you numbly..."
Xiao Beisheng rubbed his shoulders, opened his eyes and glanced at her lazily: "What do you think?"
Su Man was unhappy with his attitude. "How many people have begged me to rest my head on their arms? If your grandma hadn't trapped me here, you wouldn't even have the chance to rest your head on my face. You won't have such an opportunity again in the future."
She shook her hair and got out of bed.
Xiao Beisheng was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and smiled.
Su Man went to open the door, thinking that there would be another struggle, but unexpectedly, the door was opened easily.
It was very quiet outside, and occasionally one could hear the sound of servants cleaning downstairs and the sound of light conversations.
A servant saw Su Man leaving and immediately came over with a bag, "Miss Su, here are your clothes. They've been washed and dried."
As he spoke, his eyes were still glancing back and forth at Su Man.
Seeing Su Man wearing Xiao Beisheng's home clothes, there was a clear ambiguity.
Su Man snatched the bag and asked unhappily, "Where is your old lady? I have something to ask her in person."
"The old lady sent the young lady to class early in the morning. The young lady has a lot of classes today, so she probably won't be back for a while."
The servant's words seemed to have been prepared in advance.
Xiao Beisheng also came over, buttoning his shirt while mocking: "Old Madam also knows that she has done something wrong, so she hid away so early in the morning?"
The servant smiled awkwardly.
Although Su Man was furious, there was no need to vent her anger on a servant. The servants only worked for the Xiao family. They had to follow the orders given by the Xiao family.
But now, Su Man has no good feelings towards the Xiao family.
With a cold face, she turned back to the bedroom to change her clothes, and left without saying goodbye to Xiao Beisheng.
Xiao Beisheng's bedroom was on the second floor. He stood in front of the window and watched Su Man leave quietly.
The servant came in and said, "Master, does the room need cleaning? Let me change the sheets."
Xiao Beisheng didn't like anyone other than himself sleeping on his bed. If they just sat on it for a while, he would order the servants to change all the bedding.
Su Man slept well last night, and who knows what else might have happened. It's time to change.
Who knew that Xiao Beisheng didn't care much, standing in front of the mirror to tie his bow tie, and said lightly: "No, I'll let you know when I need to change it."
The servant was stunned. "Oh, okay, I'll just clean it up."
"Um."
Xiao Beisheng also had company matters to attend to, so he packed up and left.
He handled his work as usual that day, but he took ten minutes out of his busy schedule to let Gao Xun announce the news that he and Luo Yan had canceled their engagement.
Everyone in Dingsheng, except Xiao Beisheng himself, was shocked by the news.
After get off work, Xiao Beisheng did not go home directly, but called Qiao Shiyan.
"Senior, are you free? If you don't have any plans tonight, can we have a drink?"
"No, I'm at the law firm every day, and apart from my colleagues and clients, I don't have the opportunity to come into contact with women."
Xiao Beisheng chuckled: "Oh? Isn't your dance tutor a woman?"
"A teacher is a teacher, and a woman is a woman. They can't be confused." Qiao Shiyan felt a little strange when Xiao Beisheng suddenly mentioned Su Man, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong. The thought flashed through his mind, and he jokingly said, "I've read the news. What happened between you and your sister-in-law? Are you looking for me for a drink all of a sudden to relieve your depression?"
He was asking about Luo Yan.
Xiao Beisheng didn't answer directly, "Do you want to make an appointment?"
"It's President Xiao's appointment. If I turn it down, I'm being tactless!"
That night, Xiao Beisheng dragged Qiao Shiyan to drink until almost dawn before letting him go.
When he returned home and lay in bed, Xiao Beisheng faintly smelled a sweet fragrance at the tip of his nose. It was left by Su Man.
Smelling this scent, it was as if Suman was right next to him. He thought of Suman sleeping peacefully in his arms, and his heart couldn't help but feel at peace.
Soon, he fell into a dream.
-
Su Man also heard that Xiao Beisheng had canceled his engagement with Luo Yan.
After all, this news has become a hot topic in Haicheng, and everyone is discussing it. It is impossible for Su Man not to know about it.
The most obvious thing is that Qiao Shiyan was dragged by Xiao Beisheng to get drunk every day.
Su Man thought that Xiao Beisheng really loved Luo Yan deeply, and he was so confused for a woman.
These days, Xiao Beisheng's frequency of asking Qiao Shiyan out has increased. When Qiao Shiyan returns home late at night, he'll pull Qiao Shixin, who's just finished her homework and about to go to bed, to talk about her life ideals.
Suman was an indirect victim.
One night, Su Man couldn't stand it anymore. With dark circles under her eyes, she said to Qiao Shiyan, who came home late at night, "Mr. Qiao, Xiao Beisheng can't find anyone else to drink with him? Does he have to drag you into drinking like this?"
A head popped out from behind Qiao Shiyan, scaring Su Man.
Xiao Beisheng's drunken eyes were filled with deep resentment: "Do you have any objections?"
