Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 567: Retreat to Advance, Winning Hearts is Supreme!

Though Qin Nanyu said he didn’t mind making do with the couch for one night, Ji Weitian thought that the young master had probably never experienced such discomfort before, and she wondered if he could adapt to it at all.

What if he became unhappy and tore apart her living room?

She didn’t dare to turn on the lights, worried that if Qin Nanyu had fallen asleep, suddenly turning them on would wake him. All she could do was hold a flashlight and sneak out to gather some intel.

When she came out of her room, she realized the living room was very quiet.

Qin Nanyu really had fallen asleep, his tall figure stretched out on the couch with a section of his long legs exposed.

She had rushed into her room in such a hurry just now that she forgot to get him a blanket. He was hugging a throw pillow in his arms, looking like a large dog abandoned by its owner, awkward no matter how she looked at it.

Just as Ji Weitian was about to fetch a blanket for him, the person on the couch suddenly turned over, looking as though he was about to fall off.

"Be careful!" She couldn’t help but cry out.

By the time she realized what she had done and thought to cover her mouth, it was already too late.

Qin Nanyu hadn’t fallen off the couch, but he did wake up upon hearing her voice.

His handsome face looked bewildered as he saw her holding the flashlight, like she was a thief caught in the act.

If she were to turn the flashlight onto her face, she could even mimic Sadako and deliver a midnight scare.

Ji Weitian had no chance to slip away as Qin Nanyu had already turned on the living room light.

The two of them looked at each other across the coffee table.

Neither spoke.

Qin Nanyu was guessing why she had come out in the middle of the night with a flashlight.

Ji Weitian was racking her brains for an explanation.

"Were you worried about me?"

"I wasn’t worried about you."

Both spoke at the same time, stunned for a second, then fell silent together again.

Actually, Ji Weitian had indeed been a little worried about him when she first came out, but being caught on the spot made her feel guilty and she instinctively denied it. She hadn’t expected Qin Nanyu to ask her right at that moment.

Their questions and answers coincidentally matched perfectly.

Seeing Qin Nanyu’s expression turn lonely in an instant, she couldn’t explain why, but she felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.

"Since there’s nothing wrong, I’m going back to sleep."

Qin Nanyu didn’t continue to act pitiful and sly like before but picked up the throw pillow that had fallen on the floor and lay back on the couch.

The couch was far too small for him.

Not to mention the possibility of falling off if he turned over like before, even if he slept properly, his body would definitely suffer after a whole night.

In Ji Weitian’s mind suddenly flashed a reminder of what Song Shu had told her before: the pressure he faced managing the entire conglomerate was actually immense, working overtime even when ill, turning minor ailments into serious illnesses.

When he was acting pitiful in front of her, she didn’t think much of it.

But suddenly, when he stayed silent and resigned himself to the discomfort, sleeping on the couch alone... she began to feel a pang of sympathy.

And a little bit of tenderness.

"The couch is too small. Why don’t you come sleep in my room?" blurted Ji Weitian, as if possessed.

"I mean, you can sleep on the floor in my room, at least it’s better than the couch."

By the time she realized what she had said, Qin Nanyu had already done a kip-up from the couch and sat upright, readily accepting with no hesitation: "Okay."

"..."

She suddenly felt like she had been tricked.

Pity didn’t suit Qin Nanyu at all.

He was more like a wily wolf.

Just as Ji Weitian was about to take back her offer, the other person had already tossed away his throw pillow and swiftly entered her room...
