Chapter 266: Sleep Together (4)
To tell the truth, the two of them had been in contact quite a bit lately.
They had even shared a bed and a blanket just a few hours ago.
But at that time, for both of them, even though she had the pleasure of seeing and even touching his abs, that kind of excitement was superficial. It’s like fantasizing about a celebrity, claiming you want to sleep with them every day, but if you actually get the chance, you might not go through with it.
The same held true for her with Bo Yan, even though they could still be friends after breaking up and had even become husband and wife. But since they had agreed not to invest feelings, even if their relationship warmed up, she could easily define him as an “acquaintance”.
She grew up influenced by Western thought. In the West, a certain level of physical affection and appreciation for the opposite sex is very openly and generously expressed, so looking at someone’s body and touching abs wouldn’t stir up too much emotion.
However, these minor contacts like brushing fingertips or exchanging gazes, though not as direct as touching abs, were precisely the kind that would cast ripples in her heart.
Women are like that, easily moved by the slightest unintentional touch.
Even though Xia Siyu was not very sensitive, if the same thing happened with Qin Baizhou, she wouldn’t think too much of it. But it was Bo Yan. Although she had rationally excluded him from her emotional sphere, in reality, he was the only man with whom she had ever been in love and had a substantive relationship.
Plus, with their current interactions, when he was annoying, he truly annoyed her, but he could also be very gentlemanly. Even though she knew that his gentlemanly behavior was not special just for her, but rather due to his good upbringing, she couldn’t help but be affected by his mood.
But since he clearly didn’t like her that way, what was the point of getting close? She had once tried to charm Bo Yan, believing that she could move him and that she held a place in his heart.
In the end, it had been a gloomy finish.
What she hadn’t accomplished seven years ago, she didn’t believe she could accomplish now.
Indeed, her plan to buy a house and move out was the right decision. If Bo Yan managed to charm her and then treated her like he had in the past, wouldn’t she be in a very sorry state of neither here nor there?
And perhaps someone had turned off the air conditioning. She suddenly felt uncomfortably hot, and her heart seemed to be beating faster than usual.
The same was true for Bo Yan, who had already been emotionally fluctuating today, especially after hearing that Xia Siyu intended to leave. He wanted to change, but throughout his nearly thirty years of life, excelling in every subject, sports, chess, even racing, everything came naturally to him—except he didn’t know how to chase after a girl.
In Bo Yan’s eyes, there were two types of women in the world: Xia Siyu and all others. With other women, even his grandmother, he just needed to showcase his excellency, and he didn’t need to do anything else to win their favor.
If Xia Siyu weren’t so headstrong, perhaps just by getting a bit closer and doing something slightly flirtatious, she might blush and get her heart racing, all without a word being spoken.
If you’re bad to her, she hates you; if you’re good to her, she ignores you. Qin Baizhou was good enough to her, his face practically screamed “I like you,” but she just couldn’t see it.
Even sharing a bed and letting her touch his abs, this girl could sleep soundly. If someone forced themselves on her, she would retaliate with a swift kick capable of ending one’s lineage!
Xia Siyu felt the urge to escape. She stood, “I’m going to pour myself a cup of coffee.”
As she got up, Bo Yan reached out and grabbed her hand!
