Lin Yixun squinted her eyes, stared at him for a few moments, and softly snorted, "You let me stay here, are you up to something?"
A flash of discomfort crossed Ouyang Hao’s eyes, he coughed lightly twice, and denied, "No such thing, I just think that if you go back to the ward in the middle of the night, it might disturb your mom’s rest. Besides, it’s really cold now, it might even be snowing outside. If you go out and catch a cold, who will take care of your mom then?"
Seeing Lin Yixun’s hesitant expression, Ouyang Hao added, "If you’re worried that I might do something to you, I’ll sleep on the sofa in the living room. That way, you’ll feel safe, right?"
Lin Yixun raised her eyes and glanced at Ouyang Hao, considering that he wouldn’t dare do anything to her, "Okay, I’ll stay here tonight."
That night, Lin Yixun didn’t sleep well. Just before dawn, feeling thirsty, she went to the living room to get some water, only to find the blanket had slipped off Ouyang Hao’s body, leaving his upper half exposed.
Lin Yixun tiptoed to the sofa, picked up the blanket from the floor, and covered Ouyang Hao again. Just as she was about to get up and return to the bedroom, her hand was unexpectedly grabbed by Ouyang Hao, followed by a gentle embrace. The man slowly opened his eyes, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"You weren’t asleep?"
Ouyang Hao curled his lips and said, "I woke up when you entered the living room."
"Let go of me, I need to get ready to go back."
"Let me hold you a little longer, okay?"
Lin Yixun did not respond, but neither did she break free. Seeing this, Ouyang Hao took advantage and pulled her completely onto the sofa.
The sofa was wide enough to barely accommodate both of them. Ouyang Hao placed his thigh over Lin Yixun’s, wrapping her tightly in his arms, and pulled the blanket over them, covering them snugly.
Lin Yixun never expected that she would end up sharing a "bed" with him simply by trying to cover him with a blanket.
She struggled in Ouyang Hao’s arms and angrily said, "Ouyang Hao, you said you wouldn’t misbehave!"
"I’m just holding you, how am I misbehaving?" The man’s warm breath brushed past her ear.
Lin Yixun felt the man’s breath growing hotter, like a fire about to ignite her ears. His breathing also became more rapid, and if she didn’t understand what that meant, she would be a fool.
"Ouyang Hao, let me go now!"
Ouyang Hao seemed to sense Lin Yixun’s tension and uneasiness, and softly reassured, "Yixun... don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you. Although I want to, as long as you’re unwilling, I won’t touch you."
He was a normal man, not Liu Xia Hui. He had the woman he loved dearly in his arms, and it was impossible not to have desires.
But because he loved Lin Yixun, he would respect her and not force her.
Ouyang Hao kept his word and did not make any aggressive moves towards Lin Yixun. Though that night, neither of them fell asleep again.
When they woke up in the morning, both felt a bit awkward.
"Well, I should head back. My mom will worry if she can’t find me."
"I’ll walk you downstairs."
Ouyang Hao walked Lin Yixun to the elevator, but she adamantly refused to let him go any further. Understanding that she was afraid of being caught by paparazzi, he didn’t insist.
However, he found it somewhat amusing. She was now his official girlfriend, so why fear the paparazzi?
Turning around, Ouyang Hao walked back to the elevator. Upon reaching his apartment door, he encountered an unexpected guest. The smile on his face instantly vanished when he saw the man.
