When he lifted the quilt, the bed creaked again.
Lin Hai tried to be as careful as possible, sneaking around like a thief, clueless as to why he felt this way; it was thrilling, yet he dared not make any significant movements.
Lin Hai tensed up as well, unsure of where to put his arms.
"Uh... CEO, can I ask a small question?" Lin Hai asked softly.
"Great, I've let the wolf in. Beast Lin wants to ask a small question, is he about to make his next move?"
"What if he forces himself on me?"
"It would be too inhumane to call the police since he's my fiancé."
All sorts of thoughts tangled up in her mind, emerging one after another.
"CEO, the bed's a bit cramped, and I really have nowhere to put my arm. It's too tiring to hang it outside, and it's going to get congested. Can I lean a little closer to you?"
After Lin Hai tentatively finished speaking, he immediately rushed to add: "I'll just lean a bit closer, no choice, but I promise I won't touch you."
He said this out of fear of misunderstandings, worried that it might upset Ouyang Xiaoya.
"Mhm." Hearing this, Ouyang Xiaoya's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled down.
Then, Lin Hai's arm gently rested on Ouyang Xiaoya's shoulder.
Ouyang Xiaoya's body involuntarily shivered, and her heart was once again suspended in mid-air.
"Such a warm arm." For some reason, she enjoyed the warmth.
For some reason, Ouyang Xiaoya found herself slightly enamored with this sensation, as if it also came with a bit of enjoyment.
"Don't panic, CEO, I... I'm not a beast."
Lin Hai didn't know how else to explain and said with a mournful face.
Embarrassed, Ouyang Xiaoya dared not move abruptly.
"It's okay, Lin Hai. Just don't move around too much, and... and it will be fine." Ouyang Xiaoya said in a low voice, biting her red lip.
"Mmm, don't worry CEO, I won't move."
Lin Hai let out a sigh of relief.
"Ah, the feeling of holding the CEO is so great. The top goddess, the ice queen CEO... being able to sleep holding her just once, what a thrilling, precious, and satisfying feeling," Lin Hai cheered inwardly.
He didn't know how much time had passed; his drowsiness grew heavier. Lin Hai's eyelids drooped; he wanted to hold on a bit longer, wondering if there was a chance to advance further.
A ray of sunlight refracted inside, and Ouyang Xiaoya felt the light and slowly opened her eyes.
Long Wuhui, early in the morning, hobbled towards his home with fresh buns he had specifically bought from the morning market.
"Lin surely worked hard last night. I'll buy him some meat buns to replenish his vitality."
"I can only help you up to here. If you can't win over that girl, you'd tarnish the reputation of someone from the Dragon Tooth Unit."
Long Wuhui thought to himself and then shook his head murmuring, "Men from the Dragon Tooth are the Kings of Crushing on the battlefield and are certainly the Kings of Endurance in other areas as well, ah, no doubt about it."
Inside the room, Ouyang Xiaoya was almost on the verge of tears.
Ouyang Xiaoya, puffing with anger, tried to push Lin Hai away but found that he was sleeping sounder than a dead pig.
This jolted the sleeping Lin Hai awake in an instant, as he let out a miserable howl: "Damn it, who's ambushing me!"
Followed by it, he made a grimacing face.
Ouyang Xiaoya's beautiful face turned crimson, both angry and helpless.
Because the movement was too vigorous, the whole bed rocked back and forth, creaking.
Downstairs, Long Wuhui's ears twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "Judging by the magnitude of the bed shaking, Lin must be 'exercising' in the morning..."
"Damn, CEO, you almost crippled me," Lin Hai yelled aggrievedly.
"You brute, you still have the face to say that!" Ouyang Xiaoya said with a mix of anger and indignation.
"Uh, well..." Lin Hai stammered.
Fuming, Ouyang Xiaoya turned over, raining down small punches. With her mouth stifled with grievance, her eyes brimming with tears, she said, "You dead beast, taking advantage of the situation..."
