Chapter 220
What the heck is this little sparrow?
I don't know if she was being manipulated, but she clearly didn't want either nickname, yet she accepted "Little Sparrow" much better than "Dead Cockroach."
As expected, he had been manipulated. Jiang You looked at Theodore and said, "Just for tonight. Tomorrow, I definitely won't come..."
She made a firm promise, her face beaming with a wide smile, which left Theodore momentarily dazed.
Every time she smiles, it's like this: a dessert almost melting in the sun, like a trembling crème brûlée topped with a layer of glossy frosting, or perhaps a cream cake, or a loaf of toast spread with a thick layer of sweet jam...
In short, it's the kind of thing that makes your tongue feel sweet just by looking at it.
So, does it taste as sweet as it looks?
It's probably not. From a biological point of view, humans can't be sweet. Maybe the skin after sweating tastes salty, but he doesn't like to taste salty things.
As Theodore's thoughts wandered, a warm breath suddenly approached. He snapped back to reality to find the girl pressed against him.
A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted into his nostrils; he knew it was the scent of shower gel.
When the housekeeper asked him what specifications Miss Jiang's daily necessities were, he replied that they were the same as his.
So the two of them smelled the same, a citrus scent with a refreshing hint of orange peel.
But somehow, she exuded a soft sweetness, as if mixed with honey, which was much more alluring than his own pure and refreshing aura.
Theodore awkwardly backed away, which allowed Jiang You to succeed. She successfully slipped into the room and climbed into bed as if they were old friends.
"Theodore, it smells just like you!" Jiang You sniffed the blanket like a lovesick girl. "Did you just sleep here? It's still warm."
It's a very high-quality silk quilt; the texture is smooth, cool, and very light under air conditioning.
After Jiang You finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Theodore.
He was still standing at the door, but his expression was a bit strange, and if you looked closely, the tips of his ears were red.
"What's wrong?" Jiang You blinked in confusion. Didn't they already sleep together yesterday? Why are they only getting shy now?
She didn't feel that they were being too close. In the past, she liked to lean on her friends, and her friends would also stick close to her, and it was normal for them to link arms and lean on each other.
After starting university and living in the dormitory, I was invited by Wang Lili to stay overnight at her house. The two of us slept in the same bed, watched anime, and chatted about gossip.
Moreover, she sensed Theodore's indulgence towards her, which is why she was so affectionate towards him.
But I always felt that Theodore was different from her previous friends. Maybe it was because she was introverted and had few friends, or maybe it was because foreigners are different from Chinese people.
Theodore remained silent for a while, then turned around, closed the door, turned off the light, and got into bed.
Jiang You was sleeping a bit far from her, so he shifted his position and stopped with his arm touching Theodore's.
"Theodore, have you ever slept in the same bed with a friend before?"
“No,” Theodore replied affirmatively.
Nobody is allowed to touch our stuff.
From childhood to adulthood, their room doors were always locked from the inside, and their beds were even more forbidden. The servants had to give prior notice before cleaning, let alone sleep with anyone other than their brother.
There was someone lying next to him, breathing so close that even the rustling of fabric seemed amplified a thousand times, making his fingertips feel hot.
Sleeping with my brother is a different feeling than sleeping with him. My brother is another version of myself, like a person and air, grass and sunlight, fish and water, permeating each other silently and indispensablely.
Jiang You, on the other hand, was a brazen intruder, lying here with an undeniable presence.
Her presence was so striking, yet he could say nothing.
After all, even though he knew it was her outside, he still went to open the door.
Jiang You was too weak to push him away. He had to half-pull and half-reluctantly make way for his brother, leaving space on the bed for him.
This indulgence made him irritable and angry, yet inexplicably he couldn't bring himself to drive it away.
Tsk, it's all her fault. If she hadn't shown up on that ship, he'd still be playing a real-life game, instead of being here feeling depressed.
Anyway, no matter what, it's all Jiangyou's fault.
After hearing Theodore say no, Jiang You waited for him to continue. Just as she was drifting off to sleep, Theodore suddenly pressed down on her, bit her cheek, and then quickly moved away and lay down.
Yeah, eight inches away from her.
she:"???"
Oh well, I'm used to it. Jiang You scratched his butt, ignored him, and turned his head to continue sleeping.
Jiang You woke up in Theodore's arms at the start of a new day.
