Chapter 441: Chapter 441 What to Do When You Can’t Sleep (7)
“Do you believe that if you bring up nosebleeds one more time, I will…” Lu Wanwan glared furiously, unrelenting in her stare.
However, she realized she actually had nothing to threaten him with.
“You’ll have to face the consequences yourself!”
Gu Annan had already flipped off the blanket and lay down.
He didn’t seem the least bit intimidated by her threat.
Lu Wanwan felt a bit deflated, but since she couldn’t leave, there really wasn’t much she could do.
She walked sullenly to the other side of the bed and, as soon as she got into bed, suggested in a negotiating tone, “I’ll send her a WeChat message. What if she doesn’t know I’ve already been released from the police station?”
Gu Annan immediately pressed her down onto the bed, covered her with the blanket, and pulled her into his arms, “Keep making noise and I’ll throw your phone away.”
Xu Yuan must be foolish to think he’d let her still be locked up in the police station.
Even if Xu Yuan were foolish enough to worry about that, Shao Zhixing would have told her.
But right now, they probably didn’t have the energy to worry about this matter.
“Don’t move, behave yourself.” Seeing her still restless in his arms, he patted her lightly.
She really hadn’t slept much the day before. Her sleep had been quite good previously, but since the old lady Ye passed away, she had become prone to waking easily and having fragmented dreams, often relying on several naps during the day to catch up on sleep.
With today’s incident, she probably didn’t have the energy to sleep.
If she saw her phone now, some of the comments might not make her very happy.
After a long while, she didn’t speak or move, but he felt she wasn’t asleep yet.
Sure enough, unable to resist, she shifted her body and immediately said, “It’s not that I mean to move, but lying on that side for too long makes it a bit numb… Maybe you could move over a bit.”
Gu Annan’s lips curved slightly. She thought he asked her to stay still because it might start a fire.
There were indeed sparks, but what she needed now was to sleep and let her nerves relax.
“How could you feel numb if you were sleeping well?”
“I haven’t fallen asleep yet.”
“You only slept a few hours yesterday. Do you feel very alert?”
Lu Wanwan thought for a moment. Wasn’t it because of him that she went to bed late the night before?
Waking up too early in the morning, she didn’t feel like staying in bed and indeed had not closed her eyes until now.
But how could she sleep now?
“What if I really can’t fall asleep?” She shifted again, and this time when she lifted her head, she could meet his gaze.
Gu Annan watched the emotion reappear in her eyes and instinctively pressed his lips against her eyelid, kissing it gently.
Lu Wanwan froze, the gentle touch left her trembling inside.
But telling him she couldn’t sleep wasn’t meant to imply that.
She was still a bit worried about the current situation, and worried that if the truth from years ago wasn’t uncovered, Lin Yu would go unpunished.
“So, what do you want to do if you can’t sleep?” he lifted his lips from hers, “What do we need to do so you can sleep?”
“Didn’t you just… already…”
“Have you heard of the silly method of counting?”
Lu Wanwan held her breath; was his misdirection a bit too much today?
“Do you want to count yourself, or should I help you count?”
Gu Annan began a murmuring count of 12345…
Who could imagine that!
He laughed, a sly glint passing through his eyes, as his hand suddenly reached in.
Hooking around her waist, his finger traced on her back, “One.”
Lu Wanwan’s back tensed up involuntarily, lifting slightly, she drew a bit closer to him.
The tracing of his finger was slow, grazing her back, it was ticklish, yet not quite.
From her spine to her head, to her toes, everything felt numb.
Just as she was about to tell him to stop, she heard him say, “Shall I write it in traditional characters instead?”
