Chapter 68 Afraid to sleep alone?
Ye Qingning didn't bother to explain about the suicide attempt; she simply looked at him with panicked eyes and asked, "Mr. Lin, when will the circuit be fixed?"
With a light flick of his fingers, Lin Fei said calmly, "I'm afraid it will have to wait until tomorrow."
Just then, a bolt of lightning struck, casting a pale shadow over Ye Qingning's ashen face, which stirred something within Lin Feiyan.
"Afraid to sleep alone?" he asked loudly.
Ye Qingning nodded: "Hmm... Do you have any candles at home?"
She wouldn't be so afraid if there was some light; at least she could stay awake all night with her eyes open.
"No." The man shook his head.
"Okay." Ye Qingning thought that the phone still had some battery left, so it should still be usable.
She resignedly got up and said, "Mr. Lin, you should rest."
Just as she turned to leave, Lin Feiyan grabbed her arm, his voice tinged with disdain: "Come sleep in my room, you can borrow the sofa."
Ye Qingning was taken aback. Hadn't he said that people couldn't just enter his room?
Thinking of what happened that night, Ye Qingning's lower back ached slightly: "No, Mr. Lin, I won't disturb your rest any longer."
I'm not the female lead, but I can't stand the treatment she gets.
It shortens your lifespan!
The man's hand didn't loosen; instead, he tightened it: "You'll disturb my rest if you go back to your room."
The man's voice carried a hint of coldness, and Ye Qingning felt a little embarrassed when she thought of her exclamations earlier.
Ye Qingning felt a slight pain in her wrist and realized that the man was about to get angry.
She couldn't let all the goodwill she had worked so hard to build go to waste. Besides, it was the man who asked her to enter the room, not the other way around. Even if things came to light later, it wouldn't be her responsibility.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin," Ye Qingning replied.
Finally, I don't have to spend the night in fear anymore.
Just then, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and Ye Qingning vaguely saw a fleeting smile on the man's face.
Fearing the imminent thunder would startle them, Ye Qingning hurriedly pushed the man into the room, only to find that there was an emergency wall lamp around the wall, casting a soft yellow light, which was quite cozy.
Lin Feiyan pointed and said, "You can sleep on the sofa."
Bathed in a yellowish glow, the man's blue pajamas accentuated his gentle and unassuming demeanor.
Ye Qingning smiled and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Seeing that the man was still in the wheelchair, Ye Qingning wisely said, "I want to go wash my face first..."
Lin Feiyan nodded, and Ye Qingning went straight to the restroom, only coming out when it was almost time.
Sure enough, the man was already sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard and looking at his phone.
She then discreetly lay down on the sofa and rested her head on a cushion, saying, "Goodnight, Mr. Lin."
Lin Feiyan had just replied to Chen Chu's message when she tossed a blanket to her: "Cover yourself up. If you catch a cold, you'll have to ask Chen Ci to come over, which is a hassle!"
Ye Qingning quickly covered him with the blanket and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Outside the window, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the wind howled, and the raindrops pounded against the windowpane with a startling sound, but Ye Qingning felt a warm and peaceful feeling in her heart.
Perhaps it was the comforting yellow light, or perhaps it was the fact that she could see Lin Feiyan when she looked up; in any case, she fell asleep peacefully.
Lin Feiyan finished his work and looked up at her. He saw the woman sleeping soundly with a blanket in her arms, a smile on her lips. He wondered if she was having a sweet dream.
Her pale face had regained its rosy hue, and she looked radiant.
The scene from that day suddenly flashed through Lin Feiyan's mind, and the smooth, delicate touch of her skin lingered on his fingertips.
Lin Feiyan twirled his fingers, then threw back the covers and got out of bed. He walked directly to Ye Qingning's side and looked down at her...
