Deep into the night, Lu Weixi had already fallen asleep. She thought she sensed something rustling nearby. Her sleep was light, and she struggled to sit fully awake, sure enough, there was a man beside herâQin Zhiyou.
He had been away from home for several days. Apparently, heâd just taken a shower; beads of water still lingered in his hair. When he noticed her wake, he merely knitted his brows without speaking a word, continuing to dress in his pajamas and dry his hair.
Lu Weixi turned to glance at the wall clock: two in the morning. Her voice, still groggy, croaked, âYouâre back?â
âMm.â Upon her speaking, he lazily responded. He threw his towel into the dirty laundry basket, turned his head to look at her, with a hint of a smile on his lips and said, âWhy, did you miss me coming back to do âmultiple-choice questionsâ with you?â
Lu Weixi was sleepily disoriented. It took her a long while and some mental gymnastics to figure out the connotation of his euphemismââmultiple-choice questionsâ, momentarily stupefied as she realized it. This man⦠Bamboozled by his remark, she thought, does he feel discomfort if he doesnât allude to such things every few sentences?
Before she could respond, Qin Zhiyou swiftly moved over to her.
Still in a daze, Lu Weixi abruptly woke up from his advance and sat upright immediately, âQin Zhiyou, youâ¦â
But her protest was cut short as Qin Zhiyou, with fast reflexes, grabbed hold of her arms.
Lu Weixi initially resisted but, ultimately, it was to no avail.
âQin Zhiyou, donâtâ¦â
The color in Qin Zhiyouâs eyes shifted, his Adamâs apple bobbed up and down, with the glint in his pupils flickering a few times.
When Lu Weixi opened her eyes, Qin Zhiyou in front of her was slightly frowning. His lips were tightly sealed; when he noticed her gaze directly staring at him, he slightly turned his head, as if he didnât want to look at her. Although his face bore an unhappy expression, his body language was markedly honest.
She did not dare to move either. She was scheduled to meet with a client early the next morning. She had to be at their place for arrangements by nine oâclock. It was already past two, and she didnât have many hours left to sleep. She didnât want to upset her dayâs work due to this.
After a while, Qinzhiyouâs breathing gradually steadied, then, he turned back, his eyes still cool, but his face looked even worse.
Finally, he released her, âLu Weixi, you reallyâ¦.â
