"Zhou Cheng!" she exclaimed in shock, her face filled with fear. "What do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't do anything rash! If you dare to do anything rash, I'll..."
She reached out to push him, but the man didn't budge, easily restraining both of her hands.
Seeing her flustered and panicked appearance, as if she was afraid he would do something rash, Zhou Cheng's smile deepened.
He deliberately lowered his voice and asked her, "So what?"
"I just..."
Qiao Nansheng opened her mouth and stammered "I just" for a long time, but couldn't get the gist of it. Her heart was pounding wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
"Big brother, I was wrong." She couldn't think of anything to say, so she simply admitted her mistake, even though she didn't think she had done anything wrong.
Zhou Cheng hadn't really intended to do anything to her; he just wanted to scare her. Seeing how easily she was frightened, he immediately lost interest and rolled off her.
Qiao Nansheng breathed a sigh of relief, clutching the blanket, and moved slightly to the side, away from him.
"Come closer." He suddenly spoke, turning halfway to face her, his gaze fixed on her. "Why are you so far away from me? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
She remained frozen in place, closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep.
Zhou Cheng chuckled: "What, you want me to do it myself?"
"..." She pretended not to hear and continued to play dead.
Zhou Cheng spoke again: "If I were to take action, it wouldn't be as simple as just pulling you to sleep."
He said this with a hidden meaning.
As expected, Qiao Nansheng, who was pretending to be asleep, saw her eyelashes tremble.
"I'm coming over..." She pouted and slowly moved back, just like she had moved away earlier, while muttering a complaint to him, "Stop threatening people."
Zhou Cheng smiled but didn't say anything.
He thought to himself, "If I don't threaten you, how could you possibly listen?"
After turning off the lights, the two lay on the bed, each occupying one side, and closed their eyes to try to fall asleep, but they just couldn't.
There was only a pillow between Qiao Nansheng and him, not too close, not too far. She could clearly hear his breathing, deep and long.
She had been sleeping alone ever since she came into this book a month ago. Now that Zhou Cheng is back, she feels very uncomfortable with the two of them sharing a bed and a room.
In the past, although they were husband and wife in (The CEO), they rarely shared a bed and room, unless their fathers and parents came to visit and stay overnight, in which case they would sleep in the same room.
Moreover, Zhou Cheng always slept on the sofa, leaving the bed for himself.
Now that they're sleeping together like this, with his breathing in her ears and the scent of his body wafting through her nose, Qiao Nansheng feels that nothing is right.
She turned over, but could still hear it. She covered her ears with her hands, but couldn't hear it anymore. She closed her eyes to try and fall asleep, but her mind became more and more awake.
In the end, I was wide awake.
This is absolutely terrible!
She sat up angrily and slammed her fist on the mattress. "I'm going to sleep on the sofa!" she said, knowing he was still awake.
With her making so much noise, it's no wonder he couldn't sleep.
Zhou Cheng opened his eyes and stared at Qiao Nansheng through the moonlight streaming in through the window.
Asking a question you already know the answer to: "Can't sleep?"
"Hmm." Qiao Nansheng nodded dejectedly. She turned to look at him and asked in confusion, "Can you sleep? It feels strange that there's suddenly someone else in the bed."
"What's strange?"
