Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Free Fireplace
Beichen Rui sat on the bed, looking down at his phone, his eyes occasionally landing on Ye Xinluo not far away. Seeing her sometimes smiling and sometimes frowning, his mood rose and fell in tandem.
Having changed her medicine, Ye Xinluo found herself at a loss. She wanted to go to the room next door, but he said he didn’t have the key. It was still early, and she couldn’t sleep yet, so staying in the same room was quite awkward.
Thinking about having to spend the rest of the day with him made her uneasy... Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, and she put down what she was holding and ran to the closet.
From the bottom of the cabinet, she found a quilt, carried it back to the sofa, and placed the quilt on it.
He said he didn’t have the key, but she didn’t necessarily have to sleep on the same bed, did she? She could sleep on the sofa... even if it wasn’t as comfortable as the bed.
Watching the quilt she brought, Beichen Rui glanced up without moving, then picked up the air conditioner remote next to him.
...
Soon after, Ye Xinluo felt the room get a bit cold. She rubbed her hands together and took the quilt to cover herself, but... it didn’t take long before she still felt cold.
She turned her head in confusion, glanced at Beichen Rui sitting on the bed, and spoke, "Um... is the air conditioner broken?"
Hearing her words, Beichen Rui looked up and glanced at the air conditioner in the room. Indeed, the displayed temperature was quite low.
"Probably."
Hearing him say that, Ye Xinluo felt speechless for a moment and commented sarcastically. Seeing the air conditioner remote on the bedside table, she thought for a moment before getting up and walking over.
Standing by the bed, she picked up the remote, trying to adjust the temperature back, but after pressing it several times, there was no response.
Helplessly putting down the remote, she said, "Do you want to get someone to fix it?"... She was going to sleep on the sofa tonight; with the room so cold, she’d catch a cold for sure.
Beichen Rui replied, "The earliest would be tomorrow morning."
Ye Xinluo: "..." Just as she was about to suggest going to another room, she remembered he said there were no keys...
Feeling a bit frustrated... It was really unlucky for the air conditioner to break at such a time. What kind of work were Beichen Rui’s servants doing, not knowing if the air conditioner was broken?
Reaching out to hug her arms, she was about to return to the sofa. Beichen Rui pulled her back, his tone calm, "Where are you going? You’re already this cold, come sit here."
At first, Ye Xinluo was reluctant, but eventually, she couldn’t handle it anymore, so she lifted the quilt and sat down.
Beichen Rui gently moved to the side, leaving the spot he’d sat in for her. As soon as she sat down, she was immediately enveloped by a warmth.
"Lie down," Beichen Rui said.
Stunned, Ye Xinluo lay down, and the next second, a quilt was pulled over her. Soon, a warm breath neared her.
A firm, strong arm wrapped around her, followed by Beichen Rui’s voice, "Just for today, let me be your free heater."
Ye Xinluo: "..."
This man... she hadn’t asked him to be her heater! He was the one who came over, wasn’t he...
Still, he was indeed quite warm.
Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind. Could it be that he knew in advance the air conditioner would break and sat here to warm the bed for her?
In the next second, she dismissed that thought... How could that possibly be? Who was Beichen Rui? He would never do such a thing...
"Close your eyes and sleep," Beichen Rui leaned over, lying on his side next to her, speaking in a tone that brooked no argument.
Not sure if it was because having him beside her made her feel more at ease, Ye Xinluo lay in bed, and before long, sleepiness crept in. She shifted her body, found a comfortable position, and soon drifted off to sleep.
