Chapter 54: If You Can't Sleep, Get Up and Read a Book With Me
...... She really didn't dare to wear it out like this......
And she is 10,000 percent sure that if she goes out like this at the moment, even if she is wearing a corset in the suspenders, Lu Qingshi will definitely teach her a lesson.
Jiang Qian was used to it, and he didn't dare to make him angry again, so he wrapped another bath towel around his nightdress, checked it and felt that it was about the same, and then slowly walked out of the bathroom.
But as soon as she went out, she found that the door was open.
The light from the corridor penetrated into the dimly lit bedroom, and Lu Qingshi was sitting at the desk by the window, with a warm yellow lamp on the table, and he was looking down at the documents in his hand.
Lu Qingshi's gaze only stayed on her for a moment before he moved away, not paying attention to what she was wearing in the bath towel at all, and his gaze fell back to the page in front of him, "It's not early, go to bed early." ”
Jiang Qian instantly understood that Lu Qingshi was planning to sit all night and watch her sleep.
The door was wide open, and there were two bodyguards guarding the door, and the position of his desk was just enough to be seen at the door, and he sat there, not only to protect her reputation, but also to accompany her, so as not to let her be afraid.
Jiang Qian couldn't describe his feelings.
All the expectations that should not be there, and the vague thoughts, all disappeared at this moment.
She whispered a "hmm", climbed onto the bed, covered herself with the quilt, ripped the bath towel off her chest, and obediently lay down on the quilt.
But she didn't feel sleepy.
To say that in the first half of the night, she wanted to sleep, but she was scared by the thunder and didn't dare to sleep, and now, she has received the most precious warmth and security in the world, but she can't sleep.
"Brother-in-law," she said in a tangled voice, "aren't you tired of staying with me all night like this?" ”
Lu Qingshi couldn't take his eyes off it, he didn't look at her, and his tone was gentle, "Brother-in-law is not tired, staying up late is the norm for doctors, you go to sleep first, don't be afraid of thunder, brother-in-law will always guard you." ”
His voice was deep and powerful, and the sound of wind and rain outside seemed to melt into his background.
Xu was afraid that it would affect her rest, the light of the table lamp was dimmed by him, and his figure was projected onto the wall by the light, Jiang Qian looked at his upright sitting posture in a daze, like a cold pine standing up to the sky.
Growing in a bitter cold place, it firmly protects the water and soil.
Late at night in the bedroom, there is silence.
But Jiang Qian's heart was not calm.
He gave her wordless companionship and security, but made her heart turbulent like a cold storm outside the window.
After all, the last time he slept with her like this should have been six or seven years ago.
Chenguang is long and distant, he is the same as ever, when she is a sister, as a brother, he takes care of her meticulously, and thinks about her in everything, but she has long since lost the state of mind of the year, and she does not want to treat him only as an older brother.
What she wanted from him was far more than the care and love in front of her.
Jiang lowered his eyelashes, and his little hand pulled the corner of the quilt, covering the tip of his nose.
After a few minutes of silence, she had the audacity to speak, "Brother-in-law, I can't sleep......"
Lu Qingshi still didn't look at her, only his slender finger bones knocked softly on the table, and then a deep voice came, "If you can't sleep, get up and read a book with me, young people have precious time, and they should be used to study." ”
Jiang Qian, "......"
Forget it.
She rolled over silently.
Close your eyes and try to get sleepy.
Half an hour has passed.
She was still awake.
Jiang Qian turned his back to him.
The sound of the wind and rain drowned out his breathing, and she couldn't hear him, except for the occasional slight sound of the page turning and the tip of the pen scratching the page.
She had a lot of thoughts in her head, closed her eyes and opened her eyes, turned over and over, and when she didn't know how many times she turned over, she heard Lu Qingshi sigh helplessly, "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you thinking in my head?" ”m.
Jiang Qian's small movement of turning over suddenly stopped, and his big clear eyes opened aggrievedly, "Brother-in-law, I've tried very hard to sleep, but I just can't sleep......"
She rolled over, her little hands resting on the side of her face, facing him, breathing slightly, "Can I talk to you?" ”
Lu Qingshi did not answer.
Fingers turned over the pages, and the light cast a gentle shadow on his clear brow.
Jiang Qian automatically understood his silence as acquiescence, she boldly watched him read, and traced the lines of his handsome side face with her gaze, imagining that it was her hand, gently caressing his beautiful face.
On such a night, he accompanied her, even if it was just a relatively silent meditation, she was extremely satisfied.
"Brother-in-law, how did you and your sister get together back then?"
The little girl's voice was soft as mist, and the fawn eyes like purple grapes were black and clean, and she just looked at him.
Lu Qingshi said, "What do adults inquire about?" ”
Jiang Qian, "......"
Silently bit his lip.
She thought, she's not small.
She is already old enough to kiss and sleep with men......
Xu was his indulgence with her tonight, she waited a few seconds, and then asked, "If my sister never woke up, do you really plan to wait for the rest of your life?" ”
Lu Qingshi's eyes paused slightly, and he looked at her.
Jiang Qian was caught off guard by his gaze, and the little hands under the quilt suddenly clenched, and his mood was tense for a moment.
However, Lu Qingshi just glanced at her, and then took his gaze back, as if he heard a joke, his tone was not serious, "What if you don't wait, I only recognize your sister as a wife in my life, if I don't wait for her, do you want my brother-in-law and other women to live for life?" ”
Jiang Qian's breathing was a little stiff.
For a moment, she suspected that Lu Qingshi's words were deliberately waking her up, but the word "will" was too lethal, like a sharp knife stuck in her heart.
"That's not what I meant......"
She endured the slightest pain in her heart and wanted to explain, but Lu Qingshi suddenly spoke again, "By the way, next month is your sister's birthday, you go to see her with me." ”
Jiang Qian said "um", in fact, every year on her sister's birthday, she went with Lu Qingshi, she didn't react for a while why Lu Qingshi suddenly mentioned this.
But in the next second, Lu Qingshi gave her an answer, "I once promised your sister to propose to her when she was 29 years old, whether she has the possibility of waking up or not, I don't want to wait any longer." ”
Jiang Qian's whole body froze in the quilt.
The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the shock and panic in her eyes could not be concealed.
Lu Qingshi looked at her, and naturally took in her dejected appearance, his voice was still gentle, "Qianqian, I have been waiting for your sister for too many years, and I have dreamed of marrying her." ”
The sound of wind and rain outside the window never stopped.
She lifted her eyes in his calm tone, her gaze crashing into his deep pupils. 818
Jiang Qian's throat was blocked.
She heard her breathing begin to rapid.
Warm dampness rushed up in my eyes.
