Chapter 328: Did You Hear Something You Shouldn’t Have?
Over the next few days, Ou Jue became insanely clingy.Yes, you read that right.
Imagine a cold and aloof Demon King who insists on being on a call with you 24/7.
The weather was starting to heat up in the early summer.
At night, Xiyan sat by her little fan, wearing headphones as she had a voice call with Ou Jue.
Truth be told, there were often long stretches where neither of them said anything.
For instance, right now, Ou Jue was working at his desk, while Xiyan was lying on her bed, scrolling through the schedule of the program she’d be joining in a few days.
The success of her microfilm had brought her a small surge of popularity. This weekend, she’d be appearing on a radio show.
The current atmosphere was perfect.
Even with neither of them speaking, there wasn’t the slightest bit of awkwardness.
After a while, Xiyan found her eyelids getting heavy.
"Ou Jue, I’m going to sleep now."
What she really meant was: I’m hanging up, babe.
Ou Jue: "Mm."
Mm? Mm, what mm?!
Xiyan felt her lip twitch. "I’m ending the call, okay?"
"No, you’re not."
"But I need to sleep!"
"You sleep, and I’ll listen."
"If I’m asleep, what’s there for you to listen to?"
"Why do you care?" Even just hearing her breathing was a comforting kind of enjoyment.
Xiyan: ...
She tugged at her thin blanket. "Fine, I’m sleeping then."
The hand Ou Jue had been using to write paused slightly. "Xia Xiyan, do you know what ’goodnight’ really means?"
"Of course I do."
Goodnight = wanan = I love you, love you.
Ou Jue’s voice was husky and low as he said, "Goodnight."
!!
Ahhh, even trying to sleep, she was being flirted with. Her heartbeat betrayed her again, speeding up uncontrollably. QAQ
With their breaths swirling softly in her ears, Xiyan drifted into sleep.
And she had a very, very intense dream.
In the dream, she was pinned beneath Ou Jue.
He kissed nearly every inch of her body—from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.
And just when she thought she couldn’t take it anymore, he thrust hard.
The sensation made her entire body melt, her toes curling reflexively from the overwhelming pleasure.
He leaned down and held her, his blistering breaths buried in the crook of her neck. His kisses, soft and dense, trailed slowly once more, all the way to her ear.
There, he lingered completely.
She gasped repeatedly, beads of sweat dotting her forehead as she kept calling out his name.
"Mm..." Xiyan shifted slightly, rolling over in bed.
And then suddenly, her eyes flew open.
With a surge of embarrassment, she sat up instantly.
Who am I? Where am I?
Why did I have *that* kind of dream?!
The dream felt so real—so real that even after waking up, her cheeks were still flushed, and she felt a faint dampness under her.
And the most crucial thing was—
Holy heck, I had fallen asleep on a voice call with Ou Jue last night!!
Breathe, calm, calm...
Xiyan forced herself to calm down, then cautiously spoke, "Ou Jue?"
"Mm." That deep voice, sure enough, came through her headphones.
Xiyan’s heart sank in despair. "You really didn’t hang up the call all night?"
"Why would I?"
"Did... did you hear anything you weren’t supposed to hear last night?"
The dream had felt too real.
In it, she’d gasped so loudly—and moaned his name over and over again.
The person on the other side paused for a moment, then replied in an unhurried tone, "No, I didn’t."
Thank goodness, she’d almost died of fright.
Xiyan let out a relieved breath. "I’m going to wash up first. I’ll call you back after."
"Mm," Ou Jue replied faintly as he pulled off his Bluetooth headset.
Then he leaned back into his chair, tilting his sharp, handsome face lightly upwards.
Long, slender fingers sank into his jet-black hair.
He brushed his messy bangs off his forehead, and the flawless contours of his face became even more striking.
The sounds of her moaning in her sleep—
—Seemed to still linger in his ears...
