Their eyes met in the darkness, and Xu Zhaozhao could make out his outline by the light of the bedside lamp.
His eyes were bright, showing no sign of weariness.
The culprit that kept her from sleeping—that hand—was grabbed by Xu Zhaozhao, who then angrily threw it away.
"sleep!"
Xu Zhaozhao felt she was losing out by sleeping an hour less each day.
He hasn't slept for three days; I don't know where he gets all the energy.
Xu Zhaozhao now strongly suspects that it was the alcohol he drank while filming that made him so alert.
Xu Zhaozhao was a little nervous about lying in the same bed with Gu Qingyan again today.
Now that tiny bit of tension is gone, all I want to do is throw this sleepless guy out of bed!
The hand that had been thrown away shamelessly pressed itself against Xu Zhaozhao again, saying, "I want to hold you while I sleep."
He grabbed her little hand. "I can't sleep without holding you."
That's ridiculous!
Did he not need to sleep on all those previous nights?
Xu Zhaozhao had initially been determined not to spoil him, but seeing his serious expression, she hesitated again.
Most of the time she and Gu Qingyan argued, he was at the hospital.
He can only fall asleep if there are medications available in the hospital, right?
Xu Zhaozhao then felt that what he said did have some credibility...
The air was quiet for a moment, with only the two people's clasped hands able to feel each other's presence.
Xu Zhaozhao slowly moved her body closer to Gu Qingyan.
With a determined heart, she grabbed his hand, placed it on her waist, and closed her eyes like a warrior ready to die.
"Is it okay now?"
The long arm she had placed on her waist tightened, and a force pulled her to the side.
Until the distance between her and Gu Qingyan disappeared, she kept her eyes tightly closed and dared not open them.
Does anyone understand, family members?
How embarrassing! My nose is touching someone's chest muscles!!
Xu Zhaozhao dared not move, because if she did, she would bump into something else.
After washing up, the smell of alcohol on him was very faint, and only the scent of freesias filled the surroundings, eagerly wafting into Xu Zhaozhao's nose.
It's just a little closer, it's not a big deal...
Just as Xu Zhaozhao was mentally preparing herself, a long leg came across and pinned her legs down.
It's not heavy, but it has a strong presence.
He opened his eyes with a "whoosh," and his vision was completely dark; all the lights had been blocked.
"That's good."
A deep voice came from above her head, "Go to sleep."
"What benefit do I get from you taking advantage of me!"
Xu Zhaozhao's drowsiness was dispelled considerably, and unable to pull her legs out, she nestled in his arms.
Like a grumpy little rabbit.
“I can’t sleep either, sing me a lullaby.”
She added, "I want to hear that song you sang for me on the phone!"
Xu Zhaozhao's hair was a little messy.
A large hand touched the back of her head, smoothing down her wildly flying hair with a soothing gesture.
"good."
Hearing his agreement, Xu Zhaozhao stopped moving around, obediently snuggled back into his arms, and closed her eyes to wait for his lullaby.
A familiar melody came from the side, and it sounded even better than the voice I heard over the phone.
She was so close that she could feel the resonance of Gu Qingyan's chest as he hummed, seeping into her heart bit by bit.
Unfortunately, Xu Zhaozhao listened for a little while longer before falling asleep like a log.
After feeling the even breathing of the person in his arms, Gu Qingyan stopped making a sound, and the room returned to silence.
He reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair back behind her ear.
His night vision was far superior to Xu Zhaozhao's; even with just a dim nightlight, he could see her clearly.
He lightly placed his hand on the side of her face, wanting to touch her but afraid of waking her.
Leaning his head against hers, he gently asked, "Did you like me even a little bit more today?"
Two days have passed since this game that only he cared about began, and tomorrow is the last day.
Xu Zhaozhao was already asleep and couldn't hear what he was saying, so naturally she couldn't respond to him.
The only response he received was the moonlight scattered all over the ground.
He remained silent, then looked up and kissed her forehead.
"sorry."
Xu Zhaozhao seemed to hear him, and hummed as she twisted her body, moving even closer to him.
Gu Qingyan stared at her for a while, then finally embraced her and closed his eyes.
I promised my wife I would go to sleep and be obedient.
...
The next day, after entering the master bedroom, a burst of national essence was heard.
"Holy shit!"
Xu Zhaozhao stared at the time displayed on her phone screen, sitting on the edge of the bed, completely dazed.
I know I might have been a little tired yesterday, but not this tired, right?
I slept until 11 o'clock!
That's not the point. The point is, we have to film today too. If she does that, Director Dai will tear her to pieces!
Gu Qingyan, who was awakened by her shout of "national essence", propped himself up with one hand on the side, his eyes still showing the languor of someone who had just woken up.
"What's wrong?"
His voice was hoarse, but that was enough to get Xu Zhaozhao's attention.
Like a machine, she slowly turned her head to look at him.
When Xu Zhaozhao saw Gu Qingyan, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Haha, she wasn't the only one who was late!!
But the accounts still need to be settled!
Xu Zhaozhao waved her hand and threw her phone into a small corner.
My feet had already broken free when I was performing the traditional Chinese music performance.
With a large stride, Xu Zhaozhao pinned Gu Qingyan down, her entire weight pressing down on him, along with the weight of the blanket.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she grabbed his neck with both hands. "Gu Qingyan, did you turn off my alarm clock?!"
Her actions came suddenly, which surprised Gu Qingyan.
Upon hearing her question, he could no longer suppress the smile on his face, and he stretched out his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Why are you in a bad mood so early in the morning?"
Those peach blossom eyes, glistening with tears, looked utterly innocent. "I really didn't."
Even Xu Zhaozhao herself had her doubts.
That shouldn't be the case. If he didn't turn it off, why isn't the alarm clock ringing?
I picked up my phone again, half-believing and half-doubting, turned on the alarm, and looked at it carefully.
Goodness.
She set her alarm for the afternoon...
"cough."
Xu Zhaozhao felt guilty and looked at Gu Qingyan's neck.
Although her strength wasn't heavy enough to kill him, it wasn't light either, and faint red finger marks slowly appeared on his skin.
Damn it!
How can a man have such delicate skin?!
"Um, um..."
Xu Zhaozhao threw off the blanket, intending to escape.
"Hey!"
Those hands, which had been obediently raised, gripped her waist and pulled her back, preventing her from leaving.
Xu Zhaozhao had just finished exclaiming when their positions were reversed...
