Chapter 160: A Bit Silly
"So you were urging Yinan to leave earlier just to let me eat faster?"Gu Lingqian took the ribs and steamed buns, nibbling a few bites.
The ribs were still crunchy, but the buns had already cooled down.
Yet, for some reason, such simple food eaten at that moment inexplicably felt like the most delicious thing he had ever had in his life.
Looking at the girl by his side, he suddenly felt that Grandpa’s punishment, the confinement in the small room, seemed not quite like a punishment...
After Xia Yinian watched Gu Lingqian finish eating, she cleaned up the mess and threw the trash into the bathroom’s wastebasket before returning to the room and sitting down beside Gu Lingqian.
Gu Lingqian was already back to work; Xia Yinian, having nothing to do, soon began to yawn.
"I’ll sleep for a while, and then get up later to keep you company."
Since Gu Lingqian was here keeping her company in confinement, she felt a bit ashamed going to sleep first.
But she was really tired; it wasn’t just sleepiness but exhaustion...
The girl leaned against the wall, and in just three minutes, her breathing became even.
Soon, her body tilted and slowly started to fall to one side.
Just as she was about to slide onto the floor, Gu Lingqian dropped his laptop, stretching out his large hand to catch her head.
He adjusted his sitting position, stretching out his legs, and gently placed the girl’s head on his thigh.
Xia Yinian, resting on Gu Lingqian’s thigh, shifted to a more comfortable sleeping position and fell deeply asleep again.
Her sleeping face was peaceful and tranquil, her fair, delicate face clean without a trace of makeup.
Gu Lingqian stared at her face, unintentionally becoming a bit infatuated.
He actually didn’t really care much for women, always feeling that they were either unreasonable or a waste of time.
However, the girl before him seemed a bit different.
She wasn’t capricious, just a bit willful, but her willfulness was never malicious, instead, it was due to stubbornness and somewhat... adorable.
As for wasting time... it seemed she hadn’t wasted much of his time since this girl didn’t need to wear makeup.
A curious thing, every woman needed makeup, yet she was always bare-faced.
Watching the girl resting on his legs, his hand unconsciously came very close to her face.
It seemed that with just a slight movement of his fingers, he could touch her face, and his fingertips had already landed on her cheek.
After so many years accustomed to the mouse, he hadn’t even held a woman’s hand.
Now, there was a girl sleeping on his lap.
Just as the room door clicked open from being unlocked and then swung open...
Gu Lingqian swiftly withdrew his hand, looking at Xia Yinian, his heart suddenly pounding.
