Chapter 23: Sleep in peace

They were very close at the moment, and the hot breath he exhaled was all sprayed on Tang Duyi's cheeks.

Looking at Jing Xiao's slender and white fingertips, flickering under the illumination of the light, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she subconsciously clenched her hands into fists and placed them on her chest to resist.

"I just can't sleep, I just want to watch TV." She explained palely, blinking her wet eyes, looking at him with an innocent expression.

Jing Xiao naturally knew that she was lying, squinted her dark eyes slightly, sneered coldly, and withdrew her hand.

He straightened up, turned off the TV, and picked up the man on the couch without saying a word.

Tang Duyi exclaimed, but he was afraid of waking up his grandmother, so he immediately silenced and struggled slightly in his arms.

Jing Xiao's strength in holding her was well controlled, neither hurting her nor allowing her to break free easily.

"If you're sick, go to bed early and don't stay up late watching TV." His low voice sounded slowly, with a hint of pampering, but with a domineering that could not be refused.

His gentle appearance made Tang Duyi stunned for a moment, and he gave up resisting for a while, and even became obedient as if he had been bewitched.

After returning to the bedroom, Jing Xiao put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and finally did not forget to warn, "Lie down and sleep obediently, otherwise I will tie you up." ”

Tang Duyi was dissatisfied with his words, but he didn't dare to refute it, just snorted coquettishly, and then closed his eyes obediently.

Her eyelashes were long and curly, thick like two rows of butterfly wings, and they hung down slightly, hiding the complex thoughts under her eyes.

In fact, she is really not sleepy, but at this moment, she seems to have no choice but to close her eyes.

Jing Xiao looked at her quiet and well-behaved appearance, and a touch of pity rose inexplicably in his heart, he didn't rush to dry his hair, but stood by the bed and looked at her quietly.

The unique male hormonal aura on his body lingered around Tang Duyi, making her unable to calm down at all, so she had to open her eyes to look at him again.

Their eyes collided in the bright light, and both of them were stunned, and they didn't know how to look away for a while.

Tang Duyi pursed her lips, then took the lead in turning her eyes away and asked, "Are you going to ...... Look at me like this all night? You stand here, I can't sleep. ”

"I'm afraid you'll run away again, so I can only look at you like this." He replied indifferently, with a somewhat playful expression.

Tang Duyi felt inexplicably in his heart that what he said was extremely ambiguous.

Unable to stand his gaze, she had to turn sideways, turn her back to him, and don't speak, and don't care about him.

Seeing this, Jing Xiao chuckled lowly before turning around to blow his hair.

Hearing the whirring sound of the hair dryer, Tang Duyi secretly glanced behind him with his peripheral vision.

For some reason, her heart suddenly became irritable, and the quilt and pillow were full of the smell of Jingxiao, and they all got into her nose, making her unable to even breathe.

When the sound of the hair dryer stopped, she hurriedly closed her eyes again, her little hands clenched tightly under the quilt, as if waiting for a storm to come.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for her ears to hear the sound of steady and powerful footsteps, and every step seemed to step on her heart, making her nervously hold her breath and not even dare to move.

It's just that what she was worried about didn't happen, Jing Xiao didn't go to bed to rest, but lay down on the sofa.

"Sleep in peace." He said this in a lazy tone.

Hearing this, Tang Duyi's originally tense body slowly relaxed and looked sideways.

He had a blanket on his body, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was steady, as if he was about to sleep.

"Do you want to turn off the lights?" She asked softly.

Jing Xiao still didn't open his eyes, and after a long time, his thin lips opened slightly, and he said slowly: "No, just sleep like this." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room were turned off.

Although Tang Duyi likes to sleep when there is light in the room, she also knows that Jingxiao's sleep is shallow, and if there is light, he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep even more.

Now that he has occupied his bed, he can't occupy everything, besides, he didn't sleep last night, if he doesn't rest well tonight, I'm afraid my body won't be able to survive.

"Good night." After Tang Duyi finished speaking, he lay down obediently and curled himself up in the quilt.

Outside the window, the night was low, and there was a faint moonlight shining in, but it was not to the point where you couldn't see your fingers.

Jing Xiao slowly opened his eyes, looked at the small figure on the bed by the light outside the window, and replied, "Good night." ”

He could see that she didn't seem to be used to the dark, and her body was shrunk into a ball, like a kitten afraid of the dark, which was particularly endearing.

The air in the room was faintly filled with a hint of ambiguity.

Tang Duyi had insomnia, and she was too nervous in her heart, so she didn't fall asleep in bed for half a day, but she didn't move, just lying on her side like that.

Jing Xiao stared at her back from a distance, and didn't retract his gaze for a long time.

In the quiet space, it seemed that a pin drop could be heard, but only they knew each other that their hearts were beating faster, faster and faster, as if they were about to jump out of their chests.

After a while, Tang Duyi heard the figure on the sofa turn over and move, and after all, he couldn't help it, and called softly, "Jing ...... Jingxiao ......"

The first time her name was called, she was still a little nervous, and her voice was a little trembling.

The first time I heard her call her name, Jing Xiao's deep eyes were stained with a layer of confusion, but fortunately, the room was very dark at the moment, and no one would notice.

"What's wrong?" His low voice floated from the couch.

Tang Duyi bit her lip, turned over, suppressed the nervousness and shyness in her voice, and plucked up the courage to say, "Grandma said that you should go to school to pick me up, but I really don't need it." ”

Shouldn't this kind of thing be needed by kindergarten children?

She's a college student who is about to graduate, so she doesn't need to pick it up.

Hearing this, Jing Xiao took a deep breath and asked in a light tone, "But I have already promised grandma, do you want me to be scolded again?" ”

He said it so bluntly, Tang Duyi's face turned red instantly, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and quickly explained, "Of course not, I just think that you are already very busy with work, there is no need for this." ”

She said this seriously, and her tone was firm.

Jing Xiao's eyes gradually became gloomy, he chuckled, and said in a slightly teasing voice: "It's not very far, it won't take too much time, or do you think it's inconvenient for me to pick you up?" Are you afraid of being seen and misunderstood? Or do you think I'm going to disgrace you? ”

A simple matter, which was actually raised to this level by him, Tang Duyi was really a little speechless, and sat up from the bed excitedly.

"Neither, I didn't think so." She explained eagerly, but slowly she realized that the more she said now, the more complicated it seemed to be that this matter would be complicated, and anyway, it wouldn't be long before the holiday, so it might as well be like this, "Forget it, listen to you." ”

Hearing this, a light smile rose at the corner of Jing Xiao's lips, "Then it's okay, I'll pick you up after class every night." ”

"Hmm."

Her compromised tone seemed so helpless and aggrieved.

"Are you going to go back to school tomorrow?" He asked.

"Well, there are two more exams left, and I can't delay any longer." Tang Duyi looked at him, but the room was dark, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Jing Xiao knew that she had already decided, but she still persuaded patiently: "I think you can review at home, after all, there are many people in the school, which is not conducive to your recovery from colds, and if you faint again, I ...... My grandmother and I would be worried. ”

"There's still a lot of work to do before the exam, and I have to go back." Tang Duyi still insisted, paused, and added, "Don't worry, I have taken medicine well, and there is nothing wrong with a cold, and I won't faint again." ”

"Every time you say reassure me, I can't let go of this heart."

His words made Tang Duyi in a trance for a moment, from the beginning of understanding, Jing Xiao has always been indifferent and indifferent, full of defense against her, he rarely uses such a tone, saying such things that are easy to misunderstand.

And in the past two days, Jingxiao's changes have been particularly obvious, whether it is her attitude towards her or her actions, they are different from before, which makes her feel very uneasy.

I didn't hear her speak for a long time, and Jing Xiao decisively ended the topic, "Okay, it's late, let's sleep." ”

"Oh." After Tang Duyi responded, he obediently lay back in the bed.

The two were silent again, and the room was quiet again.

Tang Duyi suffered from severe insomnia, and she couldn't fall asleep after turning over several times, and it wasn't until the second half of the night that she felt a little sleepy.

And Jing Xiao, who was lying on the sofa, was naturally not much better, he was already a light sleeper, and he was in a room with her tonight, every time she turned over, he would wake up, and finally waited until the second half of the night, when the people on the bed were a little more settled, and he barely fell asleep.

The next day, in the morning.

When the first rays of sunlight poured into the room through the window, Jing Xiao had already woken up, and he glanced at the person on the bed, and now he was sleeping soundly.

He had only slept for a few hours last night, and now his temples hurt a little, and his eyebrows were full of exhaustion.

He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, and after a while, he got up and went to wash.

When I finished washing up and walked back to the bed, the person on the bed had not woken up, but had already turned over.

Her cheeks were flushed, as if she had been coated with rouge, her mouth pursed slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Jing Xiao stared at her for a moment, then reached out like a ghost, wanting to caress her cheek.

But suddenly, his gaze froze, his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling, the blood all over his body boiled instantly, and an inexplicable impulse surged up.

Because of the sleeping position, the top button of Tang Duyi's pajamas was loosened, because of the squeezing, revealing the attractive skin inside, white and delicate, glowing with soft water, like a shelled egg, which can be broken by blowing.
