Chapter 536: What were you just doing?
"Have you stared enough?" Ji Weitian suddenly lifted her head and glanced at him.
Qin Nanyu abruptly realized he had been watching her far too intently, caught in the act, and hurriedly closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
This time, Ji Weitian did not shift her gaze away; she kept staring at him.
As if she would keep watching him like this unless he fell asleep.
Qin Nanyu had no chance to peek with his eyes closed and, while pretending, suddenly went silent.
Asleep?
"Qin Nanyu?" she tried calling him softly, not very loudly.
Qin Nanyu did not respond.
It seemed like he really was asleep.
Ji Weitian put down the laptop she had in her arms, stood up from the sofa, and walked over to the bed, examining the man sleeping on it.
His sharp and distinct handsome face, with charming contours.
His tall nose bridge, especially striking under the dim light.
A slight frown on his brow, his thin lips also tightly shut, as if he had some obsession in his dream that he refused to let go of...
Ji Weitian couldn’t help but reach out to smooth his brow.
As soon as she touched him, her wrist was suddenly caught.
Then, the person who should have been asleep abruptly opened his eyes, gazing at her with mirthful eyes.
His lips curved with a mischievous smirk, teasing her.
"Ji Weitian, you took advantage of me while I was asleep and woke me up."
"Take advantage?"
Ji Weitian was just recovering from his sudden awakening, and upon hearing his words, her mind went blank for a moment.
The next second, she didn’t hesitate to deny it.
"I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!"
"Then what were you doing just now?" Qin Nanyu held onto her hand without letting go, putting on an attitude as if he was ready to forgive and even cooperate with her if only she would admit it, pressing her step by step.
Ji Weitian tried to reason with him, "I was just checking on you because you were asleep, I didn’t take advantage of you!"
"But you just touched my forehead and here." Qin Nanyu pointed at his own brow, adamantly accusing Ji Weitian of doing it on purpose.
Ji Weitian was at a loss for words.
"I just thought that you... never mind, whatever you say. It’s very late now, and if you don’t go back to sleep, I really am going to leave."
"I can’t trust you, I always feel like you’re going to do something to me. To be safe, you should sleep with me, that way I can hold onto your hand and prevent any problems before they happen!" Qin Nanyu assertively made his demand.
Ji Weitian almost exploded with rage, wanting to punch him.
In the end, she was so angry that she couldn’t say a word, only glaring at him.
"It’s okay not to sleep together, but you can’t sit so far from me, I don’t feel secure. Just sit here, let me hold your hand, it can also prevent you from messing with me after I fall asleep."
Qin Nanyu settled for second best.
He appeared so righteously indignant as if he had no idea that his lines should have belonged to Ji Weitian.
Ji Weitian didn’t want to bother with him, overwhelmed by his nonsensical pestering, she could only agree.
Allowing Qin Nanyu to satisfactorily take her hand and close his eyes to sleep again.
It didn’t take long for the ward to truly quiet down.
This time, he seemed to be really asleep.
Ji Weitian could feel the hand holding hers was exerting much less force.
His breathing also became more even, but the frown on his brow never relaxed, and his thin lips fluttered slightly as if he was saying something.
Ji Weitian raised her eyebrows, unconsciously leaning in close to him, trying to make out what he was saying.
When she clearly heard what he said, her heart skipped a beat!
