Chapter 148 Fear (Edit)
Until Shen Congyu fell asleep, she was still thinking that Jiang Xilin didn't move, perhaps because he was with Duan Ke.
She didn't dare turn off all the lights and left one on beside the bed. Outside, the wind and rain continued to roar. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and fell asleep.
Perhaps because of the unfamiliarity of the place and the noise of the typhoon, Chen Congyu opened her eyes in a daze, half asleep and half awake, and suddenly saw a person sitting on the sofa.
Her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she almost jumped up from the bed. Her chest was shaking, and she saw clearly that the person on the sofa was none other than Jiang Xilin.
"You... why are you here?" As he spoke, his throat was tight and every word tugged at his nerves.
Jiang Xilin looked at her. She was sitting in the middle of the bed, tightly wrapped in the quilt. Her face was pale and her eyes were like a frightened deer.
He stood up and went over to sit down beside her bed.
"Why are you so scared?"
Shen Congyu's body temperature, which had just soared, had not yet dropped, and sweat was breaking out on his back. "You suddenly appeared here, and I thought you were the guy from the afternoon."
She wanted to grab her phone but was afraid to move.
"What time is it?"
"Half past twelve."
Chen Congyu: "Why are you here at this time?"
Jiang Xilin said, "If I don't come now, when would be a better time?"
Chen Congyu knew that he must have some opinions in his heart, so she said honestly: "It's so late, I didn't expect it, you could actually tell me."
"I'm afraid of disturbing you, aren't I?"
"No."
Chen Congyu knew what he was going to accuse her of. She pulled the quilt off her body, moved to his side, and held his hand.
Her palms were wet and sweaty, her long hair was casually scattered, and her whole body exuded an aura of fragility.
Sticking to Jiang Xilin like this, Shen Congyu began to explain why she and Zhou Yu came here today, including what she said later, everything was to cooperate with Zhou Yu in acting.
Jiang Xilin listened quietly and did not respond to her active physical contact.
He let Shen Congyu hold his hand, his eyes calm, "How come I didn't know when you two became so familiar with each other?"
"Not really. I just went to meet Zhou's vice president for an interview last time and spoke a few words to Mr. Zhou. We only met at Zhou Zhou's place before that."
Chen Congyu took a deep breath, stepped forward and hugged Jiang Xilin, "If I had known what would happen later, I would definitely not have come. Thank you so much today. I was really scared before you came."
With her arms clasping Jiang Xilin's shoulders, Shen Congyu pressed her upper body against him. She spoke softly, which in the quiet room late at night made her look even more fragile.
Jiang Xilin said, "I thought Zhou Yu would also come to accompany you in the evening."
"How is that possible? He left in a situation that was easy for me to handle. It's not appropriate for us to be alone together." Chen Congyu tightened her arms and hugged him tightly, "Don't you believe me? He will definitely explain to you when he comes back."
As he spoke, Shen Congyu's body shuddered.
I don’t know if it’s because of the cold or the lingering fear.
Jiang Xilin then raised his arms and hugged her, "Do you want that person to apologize to you?"
"I don't want to see him... Just let them handle it."
"real?"
Chen Congyu snuggled into his arms and said, "Really, I'm always scared and can't sleep well, so I woke up just now."
Jiang Xilin stroked her back twice and said, "In that case, then disappear."
"Yeah." Chen Congyu closed his eyes, "I was scared to death when I saw there were suddenly more people in the room."
"Feel sorry."
After staying like this for a few minutes, Shen Congyu suddenly sat up straight. She looked at Jiang Xilin uneasily, "If you come to find me now, won't Miss Duan notice?"
Jiang Xilin looked at her and said, "We'll have two rooms."
"Then...will anyone see it? Aren't there two employees outside?"
"Won't."
As for the latter question, Jiang Xilin did not say how he solved it.
Shen Congyu's heartbeat returned to normal. She let go of Jiang Xilin's hand and went to the bedside to drink water.
The warm yellow light was not so cold. It shone on her body, outlining her silhouette and adding a soft warmth.
After drinking the water, she sat back down, her lips still wet, and asked Jiang Xilin, "Do you want to go back to your room? It's quite late, don't you want to rest?"
Jiang Xilin raised his hand to wipe the water stains on her mouth, and asked her slowly: "I can't do this to you?"
"Would it be inconvenient? What if Miss Duan comes to see you..."
"Aren't you scared anymore?"
Chen Congyu swallowed the rest of her unfinished words and stared at Jiang Xilin in a daze, "I'm scared." Jiang Xilin pulled the quilt that was in the middle of the bed over to her, "Sleep well."
He looked like he was going to stay the night.
Even though Chen Congyu had doubts in his heart, he still did as he was told and lay down, sleeping on the pillow inside.
Jiang Xilin went to turn off the lights, adjusted to the darkness, saw his figure approaching, and got on the bed.
After he fell asleep, Shen Congyu's stiff body did not relax for a while, even so, it still wrapped around his arm.
She said deliberately, "I'm so sleepy."
Jiang Xilin didn't say anything, just patted the back of her hand.
Since he had nothing to say, Chen Congyu pretended not to know.
She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep to avoid facing Jiang Xilin.
He was sleeping beside her. Although Chen Congyu was no longer afraid, she began to think about him again. She hadn't fallen asleep for a long time. When it seemed that enough time had passed, she let go of his hand and turned over with her back to him.
It looked like he just turned over unconsciously while sleeping.
But then Jiang Xilin's body pressed against her back, his arms across her abdomen, forming a posture from which she could not escape.
Shen Congyu's eyelashes trembled, and she was glad that her back was facing him and he couldn't see her reaction.
She had originally planned to pretend to sleep until the end, but her ear was suddenly touched. Before she could move, she heard Jiang Xilin say in her ear: "If you were more honest, there wouldn't be so many problems."
She thought he saw through her pretending to sleep to avoid him, and was startled. Then she heard him continue, "It's a pity you never learn, right?"
When Jiang Xilin spoke, his lips brushed against Shen Congyu's ears from time to time.
It was very itchy, but she endured it without moving.
I was also frightened, wondering if he had something else to say.
It was a pity that she couldn't ask, and he had no intention of continuing.
It's not like him to let go of what happened today with Zhou Yuye so easily.
Chen Congyu felt guilty. After all, she really had other thoughts, so even if she explained it clearly, she felt that Jiang Xilin saw through her.
Jiang Xilin always hugged her from behind, not too tightly, but also making it impossible for her to escape far away.
Shen Congyu was afraid that his heartbeat was too loud and he could hear it, so he definitely didn't fall asleep either.
She is indeed not an honest person. After all, he knows her so well and she is not on the same side as him.
Perhaps it was because the two people who knew each other best had their own thoughts in such an intimate posture.
