Chapter 396: 396 Sleep together, but don’t hold me (5)_1
Eleven had nowhere else to go, so she had no choice but to stay in Gu Liancheng’s hospital room. What else could she do?
Gu Liancheng turned on the desk lamp to brighten the room a bit, but the electricity was low — it would probably last only for about an hour.
So, Eleven dared not sleep alone on the sofa, afraid that the room would darken while she was asleep. She looked at Gu Liancheng with pleading eyes.
"Fine, we’ll sleep together, but no cuddling, it’s too hot!"
When Gu Liancheng said this, Eleven didn’t dare embrace him, staying true to his words even when she had fallen asleep. She just curled up at the edge of the bed.
Just thinking that there was someone else in the bed, someone familiar like Gu Liancheng, greatly lessened her fear.
Gu Liancheng turned over and looked at her back.
"Fang Eleven? Shang Qianxun?"
Was she asleep? He got up to check, she had her eyes closed, no reaction.
Was she really asleep?
How come she followed his instructions so obediently and not cuddle up?
Gu Liancheng prodded her back.
No response.
"Shang Qianxun, are you very scared?"
Eleven was deep in sleep.
"No answer, then I’ll assume you agree."
She continued to sleep deeply.
In the end, he lay down directly, securing her body with his large hand.
Well, that seemed about right.
...
When she woke up in the morning, it was of course in Gu Liancheng’s embrace. She felt a bit odd; it turned out her face was pressed against his bare chest, and it was as if she was an attachment of him, wrapped up in his arms.
The day has dawned...
Sunlight was pouring into the room.
She wasn’t sure if the electricity had been restored last night.
Gu Liancheng seemed still asleep, and Eleven didn’t dare to move much — although she really wanted to change her position as she was feeling a little stiff.
The only thing she could move was her head, she lifted it up, even from this angle his good looks weren’t diminished at all due to the height difference and their positions.
Ah, why was Gu Liancheng so handsome?
It’s not fair, God really favored him, giving him all the good things in life.
Her eyes suddenly opened wide, startled by his intense, panther-like gaze.
"Shang Qianxun, are you taking advantage of me again?" Gu Liancheng accused as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Who... who took advantage of you!" Eleven rebutted indignantly, "Can’t I even look? Isn’t being handsome meant to be admired?"
"And that doesn’t count as taking advantage?" Gu Liancheng glanced downwards, "Didn’t I say no to cuddling?"
Eleven looked down, "Look carefully who was hugging who!"
True, Eleven’s hands weren’t around him, he was the one holding her.
Gu Liancheng loosened his hold, and they both drew back simultaneously.
Then, Eleven counter-attacked, "Gu Liancheng! You’re such a beast, taking advantage of me while I was asleep!"
It was his fault for accusing her!
"Who said that?" He sat upright, "Obviously the lamp ran out of power yesterday, and you took the advantage to jump into my arms. I spared you out of pity, but instead, you blamed me. What a heartless creature!"
Eleven didn’t argue with him and rolled out of bed.
While looking for her slippers, she saw something under the bed.
The picture had drifted under the bed last night...
She needed to find time to pick it up and put it back where it belonged.
...
Eleven exited the ward and happened to see a nurse coming out of the elevator.
"Hey, nurse — can you tell me why the power went off yesterday?"
