Chapter 180 - Bei Nuan didn't hear what he said next (3)
Bei Nuan looked up and studied Lu Xingchi's dark expression. She gleefully thought; Qiu Zhengxun was doomed. His high ranking and numerous subordinates wouldn't be able to save him.
Lu Xingchi reached out and escorted Bei Nuan back to the storage room.
"Go inside to sleep. I'll see what tricks they'll come up with."
He followed her in and locked the door with a flick of his fingers.
Bei Nuan suddenly realized that he intended to stay here.
Bei Nuan stammered, "... Y-You're not leaving? Don't you have to go back and tell the others what's going on?"
"No need. I told them to remain at the spot where we camped last night. They have A tags and Jiang Fei is there. They'll be fine."
Lu Xingchi went over to Bei Nuan's sleeping spot, pulled off her blanket, spread the blanket out on the floor, and confidently sat down cross-legged. He rested his elbow on his leg, tilted his head, and studied Bei Nuan.
The hallway light entered the room through the metal gate, but that light didn't fully reach this corner. Once Bei Nuan had adapted to the darkness, she saw that his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his gaze was softer than usual. She felt a bit flustered by his staring.
"Why are you blushing?" He suddenly asked.
Uncertain, Bei Nuan retorted, "I'm not."
His night vision was too amazing. He could even see that she was blushing in the darkness.
Lu Xingchi faintly smiled and extended his hand to Bei Nuan.
Even if she couldn't clearly make out his hand, she knew that his nails were neat, his fingers were slender and beautiful, and his hand was strong and warm. It was surely a favorite for people that had a weakness for beautiful hands.
Bei Nuan put her hands behind her to resist touching his hand.
Seeing that Bei Nuan didn't move, he spoke in a gentle, alluring voice - it was like the voice that Xie Yuanqing used when he was mesmerizing people, "Come here. Aren't you sleepy? I'll sleep with you."
Bei Nuan: ?
I'll sleep with you?
Lu Xingchi faintly smiled and clarified the especially suggestive words he just said, "You sleep. I'll stay by your side."
Bei Nuan quickly refused. "No need, it was too exciting today. I'm not sleepy at all."
Lu Xingchi quirked his lips. "Then come over here. Sleep with me." After a pause, he said, "I'll sleep. You stay by my side."
Bei Nuan was a bit speechless. "Let's just… not sleep?" He kept saying I sleep with you, you sleep with me. It sounded weird.
Lu Xingchi slightly nodded. "Okay, we won't sleep. What should we do if we don't go to sleep?"
Bei Nuan: "..."
There was no way to get away from this topic.
Lu Xingchi couldn't persuade her, so he simply leaned forward and gently tugged on her arm.
Like a bird caught in a cat's claws, Bei Nuan stumbled into arms.
"Why were you standing so far away?" Lu Xingchi tenderly hugged her close for a moment before reluctantly loosening his hold.
He easily rearranged their positions the way a bigger pet would arrange a smaller fellow pet. He moved her body so that she was lying on the blanket with her head resting on his lap.
"Go to sleep. Didn't we spend the night together in Refuge #9?"
That was true, but they were still unfamiliar with each other back then. Their relationship wasn't so… intimate.
"I remember you slept very soundly that night." Lu Xingchi smiled. "I heard you snoring a minute after you laid down."
Huh? Snoring?
Bei Nuan immediately collapsed. "I was snoring that night? Really?"
Lu Xingchi glanced down and saw her extremely embarrassed expression. He explained, "Only a little bit. It was very quiet. Besides, you were so busy that day, and your sleeping posture wasn't good. It's normal that you snored."
Bei Nuan still felt a bit embarrassed. "Then what about usually? You don't sleep that far from me usually. I never snore, right?"
Lu Xingchi firmly shook his head. "No, I never heard you snore outside of that time."
Bei Nuan was finally at ease.
Lu Xingchi could resist stroking her hair. "Don't take it to heart. You're pretty cute when you snore. It's like hearing a kitten snore."
Bei Nuan felt so embarrassed.
"Actually, I have pillows, blankets, and sleeping bags. We don't have to sleep like this."
Bei Nuan struggled to wiggle out of his arm, but it was futile. Her strength wasn't comparable to his.
Lu Xingchi refused. "It's too much trouble. You'll have to put that extra stuff away if someone comes."
Bei Nuan continued her futile attempts to wiggle out from under his arm. "Sleeping together still isn't necessary. It's not cold."
Lu Xingchi's eyebrows sank. "Be good, go to sleep. Stop moving around."
There was a warning in his voice when he said, "If you keep moving, I might not be able to control myself and want my second wish fulfilled."
Bei Nuan's face instantly became hot, and she gave up on struggling.
However, Lu Xingchi suddenly let go Bei Nuan and said, "Never mind, move around as much as you want. Let's do it now, okay?"
Bei Nuan immediately became very well-behaved. Even though he had let her go, she didn't move and quickly closed her eyes. It was actually quite comfortable sleeping on him, using his legs as a pillow, and feeling the heat of his body under her neck.
He seemed to have chuckled. Her sleepiness was as heavy as a mountain, and Bei Nuan didn't hear what he said next.
