Qin Beiming's face turned bright red, and he quickly reached out to cover Ling Mo's open collar, saying, "You have to wear it."
"Why?"
Ling Mo blinked and tilted his head curiously.
"You'll catch a cold if you take your clothes off." Qin Beiming patiently coaxed her while taking her hand and walking towards the bedroom. "If you're sleepy, go to bed and take a nap."
"I sleep alone?"
Ling Mo pointed to the huge bed and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Will you stay with me?"
Before Qin Beiming could answer, she had already buried her face in his chest.
"..."
Qin Beiming originally wanted to push her away, but when he saw Ling Mo in his arms, whose eyelashes trembled slightly, like a frightened bird, his heart softened completely, and he could no longer bear to push her away.
He subconsciously raised his arm and gently embraced her slender waist, his voice low, mellow, and incredibly magnetic, "Little thing, you'll regret this."
"Hmm? What are you regretting?"
Ling Mo placed her hands on his chest, tilted her head back, and asked in a childish voice.
"If you've taken advantage of me, you have to take responsibility for it."
"Where's the tofu? I don't remember ever eating it." Ling Mo searched Qin Beiming's body for a while but still couldn't find the tofu, so he simply reached out and unbuttoned his shirt.
Qin Beiming thought to himself, if he let her continue to act recklessly, something bad is bound to happen tonight.
Although, he didn't mind having some unspeakable things happen between them.
The problem is that she is still intoxicated and her behavior and will are not under her own control.
If he were to make a move against her at this moment, it would inevitably be suspected of taking advantage of her vulnerability.
After careful consideration, he finally pushed away her body, which exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, and said in a serious tone:
"Go to bed."
"oh."
Ling Mo shrank back, clearly frightened by Qin Beiming's stern face, and quickly burrowed into the covers.
While savoring the sweet moment when Ling Mo threw herself into his arms, Qin Beiming moved a stool from the outer room to the bedside, intending to personally coax her to sleep. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
Good heavens!
She just flirted with him, and he fell asleep instantly?
Qin Beiming sighed. Given that his body was already extremely tense, he was about to get up and take a shower when Ling Mo grabbed his hand.
"Wanwan, I'll tell you a secret." Ling Moyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she subconsciously rubbed against his hand, muttering to herself in a daze.
"What?"
Qin Beiming knew that eavesdropping on other people's privacy was unethical, but seeing how mysterious she had made it, he finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked a question.
“Actually, I’ve already died once. Not long ago, Ling Tian and Shi Yi took advantage of my trust and splashed strong acid on my face when I wasn’t paying attention. It hurt so much… Not only that, Da Qiao and Xiao Bai were also killed by them.”
As she spoke, glistening tears streamed down her cheeks.
Qin Beiming initially thought she was talking nonsense, but seeing her unusually tearful face, he quickly sat down beside her and gently comforted her, "With me here, no one can hurt you."
"You're lying."
"I'll always be here for you."
Qin Beiming let her clench his hand, his deep eyes filled with heartache.
He didn't know exactly how many hardships she had endured, but he was certain that her rebellious and aloof personality was entirely a product of suffering…
After a silence of nearly half an hour, Ling Mo finally released his grip, then adopted a sly expression and hissed:
"Wanwan, I'll tell you another secret."
"Just how many secrets do you have?" Qin Beiming asked curiously, looking at her quirky and clever appearance.
"Shh! You're not allowed to tell anyone this secret." Ling Mo made a shushing gesture, but then shouted again, "I can pee standing up! Amazing, right? I'll teach you another day."
Qin Beiming hadn't expected Ling Mo to suddenly make such a lame joke, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He gently pinched her rosy cheeks and replied in a very perfunctory manner, "You're amazing."
"That's right!"
Ling Mo proudly raised his chin and began to mutter again:
"Okay, let me tell you another secret. Actually, I really like being held while I sleep. When I first arrived in the countryside, I always had nightmares, and my grandma felt sorry for me, so she would always hold me while I slept. Later, as long as I was in her arms, I wasn't afraid even if there was thunder and lightning."
"knew."
Qin Beiming felt very uncomfortable listening to this, and kept thinking that he could have met her a few years earlier.
Unfortunately, fate is so mysterious that it is beyond the control of any individual.
To have met her when she was seventeen years old must have been incredibly lucky.
Qin Beiming tucked her in and then had an extra-large body pillow brought over.
It wasn't really appropriate to hold her while sleeping, so after thinking it over, he decided to let a pillow temporarily take his place.
Ling Mo felt the presence of the pillow, and naturally put his arms and legs on it, humming and moaning comfortably.
Qin Beiming was clearly amused by her, and chuckled, "What are you so happy about?"
"How could I be happy? My whole body screams 'heartbroken'."
"Four words."
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I broke up with my boyfriend a week ago. I was so blind to believe that scumbag Liang Feifan. I lost both my body and my heart."
Lost her virginity?!
Qin Beiming paused slightly, his brows furrowed. He had originally wanted to press for details, but the words that came out of his mouth were a gentle, soft "It's all in the past."
“I can’t get over this. Liang Feifan asked me to take care of Ling Tian, and I did. As a result, I was splashed with acid in the face and my body was ruined, but he acted like nothing happened and lived happily ever after with Ling Tian.”
