A dream that could make Dong Xin Yan smile... certainly didn’t involve him.
But why, all of a sudden, he didn’t want to wake her up; just let her... finish this happy dream.
Gu Ningyi withdrew his hand, then lifted the blanket, got up, and got out of bed.
His whole body moved so quietly, instinctively, without even realizing it.
He picked up the robe beside him, draped it over himself, and walked toward the terrace. Leaning against the railing, he lit a cigarette, held it between his slender fingers, brought it to his lips, took a puff, and then slowly exhaled a smoke ring.
After finishing a cigarette, coupled with the cool breeze outside, Gu Ningyi’s irritability gradually subsided. He extinguished the cigarette butt, stood for a bit longer, and after the smell of smoke had dissipated from his body, he turned back and returned to the bedroom.
Dong Xin Yan was startled awake when Gu Ningyi pulled her into his embrace. Find the newest release on novel·fiɾe·net
At first, she couldn’t be sure if this was real until she was fully enveloped, her head resting on Gu Ningyi’s arm, her cheek pressed against his warm, firm chest, and her waist held tightly by a strong arm. Surrounded by the man’s presence, she then confirmed that this was indeed real.
Dong Xin Yan’s body instantly became rigid.
Could it be that Gu Ningyi really wanted to continue?
However, after holding her in his arms, Gu Ningyi merely nudged her forehead with his chin a little, then fell silent. Dong Xin Yan waited about five minutes, confirming he had no intentions of doing anything more, and her heart slightly settled; but the situation wasn’t any better than before.
Originally, although they slept on the same bed, they were far apart, like different worlds, and she could still manage to sleep. But now, Gu Ningyi had her tightly confined in front of him. In such an intimate posture, she could clearly feel his breath, his body heat, his strength.
Every part of it made her extremely uncomfortable and resistant.
She struggled a bit unconsciously, but her slight strength wasn’t enough to break free from Gu Ningyi’s arm. Instead, it made Gu Ningyi hold her even tighter.
Dong Xin Yan instantly dared not move, having to remain stiff, letting Gu Ningyi hold her.
Gu Ningyi, holding Dong Xin Yan’s warm and soft body, inhaling the faint scent of her hair, closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Now Gu Ningyi could sleep, but Dong Xin Yan couldn’t. Despite being very tired and exhausted, trying hard to continue sleeping, her mind became clearer.
She lay with her eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling, and in her mind, an all-too-familiar face appeared involuntarily. A man was smiling at her, with such tenderness and affection, smiling so much... that she couldn’t help but curl up her lips in response.
Ever since she agreed to the deal with Gu Ningyi, she hadn’t gone to see Ziyang. Because even though everything she did was to save him, in the end, she had relations with another man, and she simply... couldn’t face him.
She didn’t want him to see her in such a... dirty state.
She even restrained herself from thinking, suppressing it.
She dared not think of him, for fear that she wouldn’t be able to bear it, afraid she would become weak and collapse. So she tried very hard not to think of him.
But at this moment, she could no longer control her suppressed thoughts and longing. She missed Ziyang madly, his gentle smile, his warm embrace.
