Jiang Shi froze and his breath was choked.
Fortunately, the girl just grabbed his hand and placed it on her cheek without saying anything.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had not woken up and that holding on to his hand was just a physical reaction after falling asleep.
However, before Jiang Shi could completely relax, she suddenly grabbed his hand and slid it towards his collarbone.
Jiang Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously pulled his hand out with force. His Adam's apple rolled, and he almost couldn't control the suppressed gasp he let out.
Yu Tanqi seemed to moan unconsciously.
Jiang Shi felt inexplicably guilty and nervously bit the soft flesh inside his lips, not daring to act rashly.
"Zian..."
The girl's voice was a little unclear, but one could still clearly hear the longing and uneasiness in her voice.
Jiang Shi's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously wanted to respond, but he bit his lips tightly for fear of waking her up.
Yu Tanqi sighed softly.
Darkness amplifies senses beyond sight.
She could feel Jiang Shi standing beside her bed without opening her eyes.
He was looking at her but didn't make a sound, and didn't even dare to touch her again.
Why?
Yu Tanqi was very confused and felt a little aggrieved.
There is a kind of inexplicable sad feeling of being subjected to cold violence by a lover in the passionate period of love.
She tried to keep herself sober and rational, telling herself that they hadn't seen each other for just one day, and it would be too hypocritical for her to be angry and unhappy like this.
But she couldn't help it.
What does he mean?
He deliberately avoided seeing her, but secretly came to find her.
If Yu Tanqi hadn't been unable to sleep because of something on his mind, he probably wouldn't have noticed Jiang Shi's strange behavior.
She was angry now and didn't want to be rational.
Biting her lip, she pretended to be uncomfortable and said, "It's so hot, so thirsty, I want to drink some water..."
At the same time, he kicked off the thin blanket on his body and tore open the thin collar with both hands.
There was no light in the room, so Jiang Shi couldn't see what Yu Tanqi looked like at the moment. He was worried that Yu Tanqi would wake up from thirst and discomfort in her sleep, so he quickly groped his way to the table, found the teapot and teacup, poured a cup of tea, and then went to the bedside and held her hand.
When Yu Tanqi's hand touched the teacup, he sneered in his heart. His eyesight was pretty good. He didn't fall down even though he was moving back and forth so quickly.
She deliberately held the teacup unsteadily, and the slightly cold tea spilled onto her chest.
"Ah~ It's so cold~"
The girl's sweet and soft voice was accompanied by a charming tremor that penetrated into her bones. When Jiang Shi heard it, his body almost tensed up instantly.
Jiang Shi bit his lip, secretly thanking his lucky stars that he didn't turn on the light so that he couldn't see what she looked like at the moment, otherwise he would definitely lose control of himself.
He was worried that Yu Tanqi was thirsty and uncomfortable, and was also afraid that she would wake up at any time, so he wanted to leave first and let her maid come in to serve her. However, as soon as he turned around, the girl on the bed spoke in a daze.
"Linlang, give me some water quickly, I'm so thirsty."
The night was too dark, she couldn't see clearly and thought he was Linlang.
Jiang Shi pursed his lips, simply claimed the identity of "Linlang", and went to pour a glass of water for Yu Tanqi.
When he handed the cup to her, he was careful not to touch her, for fear that she would notice something was wrong.
Yu Tanqi sneered again in his heart, let’s see how long you can pretend.
She drank the tea expressionlessly and handed him the cup, "More."
Jiang Shi silently and quickly poured her another cup of tea.
The girl didn't seem to notice that Linlang's silence was amiss. After finally relieving herself of thirst, she said, "I feel sticky and uncomfortable. Linlang, please change my clothes for me."
The Adam's apple rolls when eating ginger.
He has to turn on the lights when changing clothes, otherwise he will be exposed.
Seeing that "Linlang" didn't respond, the girl couldn't help but urge softly: "Linlang, turn on the light first. It's too dark. You can't see clearly and you might fall."
Jiang Shi was silent. Even though he was always confident and calm, he didn't know how to solve this dilemma.
He didn't move or speak for a long time, and the girl seemed to realize something and her voice changed slightly.
"Why aren't you talking? You're not Linlang? Who are you?"
She seemed to shrink to the corner of the bed, looking at him nervously.
Finally, Jiang Shi was afraid that she would be frightened, so he whispered, "Tan Qi, don't be afraid, it's me."
"It's you? Zi'an?" She was very surprised.
"Yes, it's me."
"Why did you come back just now?"
Yu Tanqi originally wanted to complain and lose her temper, but the moment she heard Jiang Shi's voice, a sour emotion blocked her heart. She did not complain, but her voice trembled with deep grievance and sadness.
"I'm sorry." He sighed softly, the emotion in the girl's voice broke his heart. "Don't be sad, it's my fault. You can treat me however you want, just vent your emotions."
He reached out his hand to touch her, but she was curled up in the corner of the bed. The bed was too big, and it was difficult for him to touch her while standing at the edge of the bed.
Yu Tanqi felt a little annoyed that his voice wasn't strong enough. Under Jiang Shi's gentle coaxing, he managed to remain calm and snorted softly, "Turn on the light first. I can't see clearly."
Jiang Shi paused, touched the scabby wound on his cheek, and whispered, "The candlelight is too bright. It's late, and it will disturb your rest."
"But my clothes are all wet and I feel very uncomfortable. You can't just let me sleep like this without changing clothes, right?"
Jiang Shi pursed his lips slightly, "Then I'll go call Linlang in and ask her to help you change your clothes first."
"Stop." Yu Tanqi instantly realized his intention to escape. "You won't never come back after you leave, will you?"
"How could that be?" Jiang Shi's gentle voice was unusually lacking in confidence.
Yu Tanqi suddenly said, "No need to ask Linlang to come in. Help me change my clothes."
"Ah?" Jiang Shi was a little confused.
Yu Tanqi's heart was beating fast. She bit her lip and closed her eyes and said bluntly, "Anyway, we are engaged and will get married sooner or later. Just treat it as familiarizing yourself with how to help me change clothes in advance. You are not allowed to say no."
"But..." Even Jiang Shi, who was as gentle as jade and always elegant and calm, was at a loss and incoherent at this moment, "But we haven't gotten married yet, so this doesn't seem right..."
Yu Tanqi sneered: "It's not like you haven't kissed and hugged me before, why is it not okay now just because I ask you to help me change my clothes?"
Jiang Shi was suddenly speechless.
He noticed that she was still very upset about not seeing her yesterday. Knowing he was in the wrong, he gritted his teeth and said simply, "Okay, I'll help you change your clothes."
But to change clothes, one needs to find a suitcase. After all, this is Yu Tanqi's boudoir. Jiang Shi is self-disciplined and polite. Naturally, he would not pay special attention to her suitcase when he goes in and out on weekdays. If he does not turn on the lights at this moment, it will be difficult for him to find her suitcase.
But if she turned on the light she would see his face.
This was the first time that Jiang Shi fell into such a difficult situation.
He sighed secretly, thinking that he shouldn't have done such a mean thing as "peek into the boudoir at night". It was all his own fault and he really deserved it.
Yu Tanqi also noticed his hesitation and frowned slightly: "Why don't you light the lamp? It's so dark, can you see clearly?"
