Qiao Yuxian rested her head on his arm, keeping both hands quietly on her chest without moving. She said, "I just can’t sleep, wanting to be closer to someone makes my heart settle, and I fall asleep quicker. I mean no harm."
Gu Yanjing gently patted her arm without speaking.
He closed his eyes, and in the darkness, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
Not hearing him speak, Qiao Yuxian lifted her head to look at him and asked again, "You understand what I mean, right?"
"Yes, I understand. Not to move around." Gu Yanjing’s voice was as gentle as a breeze passing over a snowy mountain.
Qiao Yuxian chuckled softly and settled in comfortably.
"Sleep now." Gu Yanjing said.
Gu Yanjing’s hand lightly patted her arm; in his embrace, Qiao Yuxian felt at ease and soon fell asleep.
Listening to her steady breathing, Gu Yanjing opened his eyes and turned to look at her.
Admiring her peaceful sleeping face.
After a while, Qiao Yuxian stirred, placing her arm on him and shifting closer.
Their bodies touched; Gu Yanjing looked at the ceiling, sighed softly, and closed his eyes.
Gu Yanjing woke up right as his biological clock rang. He opened his eyes and first glanced at the young girl almost sleeping on top of him.
The two had slept all night, hardly moving, leaving half the bed untouched.
Gu Yanjing gently brushed away the hair scattered across her forehead, revealing her small face.
After watching for a while, worried she might feel embarrassed waking up, Gu Yanjing planned to leave first.
Taking hold of her wrist, just about to move her hand away, Qiao Yuxian suddenly sat up.
She sat on the bed, eyes closed, frowning, pushing her hair back rather roughly, and sat there looking slightly displeased.
Gu Yanjing sat up as well, asking, "What’s wrong?"
"Bathroom." Qiao Yuxian mumbled, eyes closed, before getting off the bed past Gu Yanjing.
Rubbing her eyes, she staggered towards the bathroom, muttering hoarsely, "Dreamt I kept searching for a bathroom, just found it, pants down, and suddenly realized I was dreaming, got scared awake, almost..."
Her mumbling ceased; Qiao Yuxian suddenly froze in place.
Gu Yanjing sat at the edge of the bed, looking at her rigid little back.
Qiao Yuxian stood there for two seconds, then slowly turned around. First, she saw Gu Yanjing sitting by the bed looking at her, then she glanced around the room.
Her mind clicked on, recalling she’d come here last night.
She gave Gu Yanjing an awkward smile, then slowly turned away, hastening her pace to leave the room, returning to her room’s bathroom.
Though it was a Sunday.
Gu Yanjing had to go to the company, while Qiao Yuxian needed to go to school. There was an assignment for a public course, requiring completion as a dorm group.
She went to school to do the assignment.
Primarily because she hadn’t been back to the dormitory for a long time, she feared her dorm mates had forgotten there was a roommate like her.
After breakfast, they left the villa together.
Meng Yan and Shang Chen both arrived with their cars.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at Shang Chen, then pulled Gu Yanjing towards Shang Chen’s car, "Let Shang Chen drop me at school first, then take you to the company. Look at Shang Chen’s expression, I’m afraid he’ll leave me halfway."
Gu Yanjing gave Shang Chen a glance, allowing her to lead him into the car.
Shang Chen, caught by that look, immediately behaved.
Fenglin Villa was very close to Kyoto University.
The car soon parked at the school gate, Qiao Yuxian held her computer, looked at Shang Chen and said, "Shang Chen, you should go to the company in the future, no need to follow me."
Shang Chen was taken aback, froze in his seat, then suddenly turned his head towards Gu Yanjing.
Seeing him looking at Gu Yanjing, Qiao Yuxian said, "What are you looking at? It’s me talking."
Shang Chen ignored her, kept looking at Gu Yanjing, waiting for his instructions.
Qiao Yuxian saw he ignored her, reached out to cover Gu Yanjing’s face, stopping him from seeing. Then she said to Shang Chen, "Still insisting he nods, huh? I’m the boss’s lady, don’t I have the authority to arrange your work?"
Shang Chen glanced at her, giving her a look to comprehend herself.
Qiao Yuxian: "......"
She took a deep breath, cradled Gu Yanjing’s face, turned him to look at her, and asked, "Do I have this authority?"
Gu Yanjing pulled her hand down, held it in his, and replied with one word, "Yes."
Qiao Yuxian immediately delighted, smugly gave Shang Chen a sly glance.
Gu Yanjing pressed her hair top gently.
Qiao Yuxian smiled at him, saying, "I’m off now." Follow current novels on novel fire.net
With that, she got out of the car. Once on the ground, she waved to him and entered the school.
After she left, Gu Yanjing turned to Shang Chen and said, "Let Su Qi arrange your work at the company."
Shang Chen looked at him incredulously, with his mind somewhat unable to keep up.
Gu Yanjing shot him another glance.
Shang Chen’s eyes narrowed, immediately turning his body upright and starting the car.
After the car had driven for some distance, he suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Yes!"
Gu Yanjing lifted his eyes again to look at him: "......"
