Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Wait a Little Longer
Shen Nian slept soundly through the night, and when she woke the next morning, she felt herself wrapped in warmth.
When she opened her eyes, Shen Nian found that she was, to her surprise, still lying in Lu Cheng’s arms. He was still holding her, as if he hadn’t moved an inch the entire night.
She, however, had moved. Shen Nian remembered that her last impression before falling asleep was of Lu Cheng holding her from behind.
But now, after a full night’s sleep, they were tightly embracing.
Shen Nian’s right leg was even draped over his.
...
’When had her sleeping posture gotten so bad? And how had she never known?!’
Shen Nian was mortified. ’The very first night I’ve ever spent in the same room as Lu Cheng, and he gets to witness my terrible sleeping habits. The thought alone is crushing!’
With that thought, Shen Nian wanted to quickly pull back her leg from his and her arm from his waist. She had to destroy the evidence before Lu Cheng woke up!
However, just as Shen Nian began to move, a deep, magnetic voice sounded by her ear.
"Don’t move."
In her past life, Shen Nian had heard people use the phrase "a voice that could get you pregnant" to describe how good a man sounded, but she’d never been able to understand the comparison.
But now, after hearing Lu Cheng speak those two words in the early morning, Shen Nian finally understood.
Because Lu Cheng’s voice, husky right after waking, was simply overflowing with masculine charm—deep, magnetic, and so, so manly.
’This is killing me.’ Just from those two words, Shen Nian could feel her face instantly heat up, her heart starting to race.
And Shen Nian, who had been in the middle of moving, froze the moment she heard him speak.
"Y-You’re awake!"
Although nothing had happened between them in bed that night, Shen Nian still felt more than a little embarrassed to wake up and find them embracing like this.
"Mm."
Lu Cheng hummed in response. In truth, while Shen Nian had slept soundly, Lu Cheng had barely slept at all.
With the woman he loved most right in his arms, how could Lu Cheng possibly have slept!
He had spent nearly the entire night just watching Shen Nian. Even though the dormitory lights had been off for hours, his night vision, honed by years of training, was completely unaffected.
It wasn’t until just before dawn that Lu Cheng finally dozed off for a short while, but the instant Shen Nian stirred, he woke up as well.
"Um, it’s light out now. We... we should be getting up. Don’t we have to go back today?"
"Mm, no rush."
Lu Cheng continued to hold Shen Nian, showing no intention of letting go.
Shen Nian was left speechless.
’He’s held me for the entire night, and he’s still not had enough? Besides, he’s been in this position pretty much the whole time. Isn’t his arm sore or numb?’
"Well, I’ll get up and get ready first. You can sleep in a bit longer!"
After she spoke, Shen Nian tried to get up, but the moment she moved, Lu Cheng pulled her back down again.
"Just a little longer. Just for a bit."
Pulled back into Lu Cheng’s embrace, Shen Nian was exasperated. ’We have to get up eventually, so what difference will a little more time make?’
Lu Cheng paid no mind to what Shen Nian was thinking and simply held her tighter. Because of this, she could feel everything with startling clarity.
