Chapter 119: Do You Want It?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The atmosphere reached a freezing point for a moment, and there was a dead silence. However, it seemed to have suddenly risen at some point.
Ambiguous feelings surged. Their silent gazes seemed to have changed.
“Can’t I?” Nan Ge hugged her doll tightly, frightened by his gaze.
It was as if they were suddenly at the seaside. The dazzling sunlight above his head enveloped him in a fiery aura. Immediately after, the wind in the distance swept across the sea, mixed with a trace of the dampness of the seawater, bringing a hint of coolness.
This was repeated over and over again. It was an indescribable contradiction.
Nan Ge could not tell what his gaze meant. Was he tacitly agreeing or telling her to leave?
It caused her to be so embarrassed that she did not know where to look. She looked away from him and glanced around guiltily.
A few seconds later, the man seemed to react and said in a hoarse voice, “Yes, you can.”
“The ground is cold. Come up.”
Nan Ge turned around and saw Shen Yanqing reaching his hand out to her.
With a thought, she wanted to retreat. However, in an instant, in front of his beauty, she completely stepped on her rationality.
She took two steps forward and walked within Shen Yanqing’s reach.
Seeing that she was standing there without moving, the man took the initiative to hold one of her hands. His other hand grabbed her waist and carried her up.
In an instant, the world spun.
In a daze, there was a shadow above her head that blocked her vision.
Immediately after, she fell onto the bed. What greeted her was a subtle fragrance. It was a little like she was warming herself in front of the fireplace. Outside the window, there were snowflakes all over the sky, and the heat in the room spread slowly, making her sink in.
Shen Yanqing lay down beside her and covered the two of them with the blanket.
He tightened his grip on her back and pressed her into his arms.
Nan Ge could feel the man’s chin resting on her head, gently rubbing it. They were very close, and she could clearly feel his breathing. Her consciousness drifted away with his heaving breathing, like a playful child trying to follow the rhythm of his breathing and maintain the same frequency as him.
After a minute or two, Nan Ge could not help but look up from his arms and call his name seriously. “Shen Yanqing.”
“Yeah.”
The man responded in a low voice and closed his eyes without saying anything.
The little penguin asked in distress, “Why is your breathing messy?”
After she finished speaking, Shen Yanqing’s breathing stopped entirely.
He did not dare to breathe.
This was not the end. The little penguin was seriously thinking about this question and was very puzzled. “I can’t even keep up with your frequency. You don’t seem to have any rhythm at all. Can you sleep like this?”
Shen Yanqing was rarely stumped by such questions and could not speak for a long time.
He took a deep breath and deliberately softened it, afraid that she would notice.
After trying his best to breathe evenly, he said, “I don’t think I was like this before.”
“I knew it. How can you sleep like this?” Nan Ge sounded like she knew it.
The man parted his lips wanting to say something, but in the end, he held back and only hummed softly.
Compared to the first time they embraced each other and slept, Nan Ge was no longer so shy.
As the saying goes, it takes time to get familiar with someone.
Moreover, Shen Yanqing’s embrace felt really safe!!!
The last time she rested in the ward, he reached out and wrapped her in his arms, forming a small circle that made her unable to retreat. It felt as if he was the only thing she could see and she could only stay by his side.
Logically speaking, the ward was filled with pungent disinfectant, but she was nestled in his arms and her nose was filled with his scent. Coupled with his body temperature, it enveloped her. That night, the environment was clearly not good, but she still slept soundly and had a good night’s sleep.
So this time, almost without hesitation, she still wanted to rest with him.
“Can’t you sleep?” Seeing that he did not close his eyes for a long time, Nan Ge asked softly. “Did I disturb you?”
Shen Yanqing blinked and did not answer immediately.
He did not want to lie, but it was still a little awkward to tell the truth.
“Let’s sleep first.” He weighed the pros and cons and chose to avoid the question.
“Huh? Oh, okay,” Nan Ge agreed. As soon as she finished speaking, he pressed her into his arms and forcefully made her stop talking.
This was also the first time Shen Yanqing understood that running away was shameful but sometimes a necessary evil.
It was indeed the truth.
At 5:30 in the morning, the mattress in the dim bedroom sank slightly. It was clearly a double bed, but there was a space for one person. It was really difficult to find a second person on the bed.
The man rested his arm on the pillow and placed his other hand on the side. Upon closer inspection, there was a slight bulge under the soft blanket. There was a girl sleeping soundly in front of him. A few strands of long hair were exposed and stuck to the man’s white pillow.
In the end, Shen Yanqing did not fall asleep.
Last time in the ward, he only fell asleep because of the medicine. This time was completely different.
The little penguin in his arms was completely unguarded against him and was already sound asleep.
After confirming that she was asleep, Shen Yanqing took a step back and lowered his head to look at her.
Nan Ge did not let go of the doll in her arms. Now, even when she was asleep, she hugged it tightly, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it away.
Thinking of how this doll came about, Shen Yanqing could not help but smile.
Yesterday, before boarding the plane in Sijiu City, he accompanied her to a popular restaurant to check it out.
The restaurant had just opened for business and there were many small events.
Not long after they entered, a waiter asked if they were a couple. Before he could speak, he saw Nan Ge nod repeatedly and answer yes.
Then, the waiter asked them if they wanted to participate in the event.
Couples could kiss for three seconds and get a small gift.
In an instant, Nan Ge, who was originally excited and looking forward to it, was dumbfounded.
She subconsciously looked at him. Their eyes met, and she looked away guiltily. Then, she shook her head at him and refused to participate.
The waiter let out an “ah” and seemed a little indignant. He continued to coax her and showed her the small gifts, saying that she could choose whatever she wanted.
Nan Ge did not even dare to look at it. She seemed to think that she really had to participate in the event after seeing the small gifts. She shook her head like a rattle drum, her face red, and she stuttered.
In the end, he could not take it anymore and sent the waiter away, giving Nan Ge a chance to catch her breath.
However, she still seemed to feel very awkwvard. When she was eating later, she was distracted and stole glances at him from time to time. When he caught her, she hurriedly looked away and pretended that nothing had happened. But he saw it anyway. Her eyes kept wandering over his lips.
After the meal, Nan Ge stole a glance at the small gifts in the display window on the wall like a thief when she left. Her eyes were filled with excitement.
Looking at her red ears, an evil thought appeared in his heart. He deliberately reminded her, “Do you want it? It’s not too late to participate..”
