Nangong Mo's body was stiff as he looked at the girl sleeping soundly in his arms, his sexy thin lips pressed tightly into a straight line.
The softness and warmth of the girl in his arms, combined with the faint fragrance emanating from her, surrounded him with every breath. Yet, she couldn't stay still, her head rubbing against his chest, making his heart itch.
Nangong Mo somewhat regretted it.
Earlier, he had seen her sleeping on the ground, her small body curled up from the cold, so petite and fragile, inexplicably stirring a sense of pity in him, and he couldn't help but want to hold her to protect and care for her.
Who knew that this seemingly gentle and obedient little white rabbit was actually a little devil!
Nangong Mo looked at the mat on the floor, contemplating whether to put her back there.
Just then, Yun Ran woke up.
With sleepy eyes, she opened them only to be greeted by a glossy, jade-like chest, defined muscles, and perfect lines.
Yun Ran blinked in confusion, her mind momentarily blank: Had she gone mad? Or become infatuated? How could she mistake a quilt for a beauty?!
Soon, the steady and powerful heartbeat in her ears brought Yun Ran back to her senses immediately.
"Nangong Mo??? Why are you here?!"
"Ah! You scoundrel! How dare you sneak onto my mat in the middle of the night!"
"Why don't you stop calling yourself King Qin and change it to a beast!"
Faced with Yun Ran's accusations, Nangong Mo: "..."
"Lin Wanyue, don't you think you should first figure out where you are before you start scolding people?"
"Where else could this be? Isn't this... uh! This? This... how did I end up on your, your bed..."
Yun Ran's momentum instantly deflated.
Especially seeing Nangong Mo pinned beneath her, looking like he had no means to resist, ready to be picked, she felt even more guilty, fumbling with her words a bit.
The man looked at her, leisurely reminded, "It's quite clear, the one with ulterior motives is you. You sneaked onto my bed in the middle of the night."
Yun Ran: "…There, there must be some misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstanding?"
The man snorted lightly, with serious uprightness, "I'm blind, a cripple who can't walk, could it be that I walked over to carry you here?"
Yun Ran: "..."
This, for a moment, she couldn't refute...
But, she doesn't have a habit of sleepwalking!
Could it be that dead bird?!
Yun Ran felt unsure in her heart, but still, even if she climbed onto his bed, she wasn't going to admit it~
"Who knows if you wheeled me over here! After all, you have unparalleled martial skills, this kind of thing wouldn't be hard for you! So, you have no way of proving your innocence, huh!"
The man slightly curled his lips, looking amused, "Petty and unscrupulous. Forcing a futile argument."
"Yes, yes, I'm petty. I'll now go back and reflect on the floor."
As she spoke, Yun Ran was about to get off the bed but was stopped by Nangong Mo.
"What's the matter? Isn't it just climbing onto a bed? I didn't do anything to you, are you planning to kill me to keep it secret?"
Nangong Mo: "..."
This girl full of violence in her head...
"I'm suggesting you sleep on the bed."
"Huh?" Yun Ran was momentarily dumbfounded, unsure whether to ask him, "You, sleep on the floor?"
"Mm."
And indeed, Nangong Mo got up, intending to get off the bed.
Yun Ran was somewhat dumbfounded.
Did his humanity return from running away?
"Why don't you sleep on the bed?"
"You sleep."
"You sleep."
"You sleep."
"..."
With no result from the argument, Yun Ran thought of a compromise, "How about we both sleep together?"
"No, I'll sleep on the floor."
Yun Ran: "..."
[The bastard! He actually dared to refuse her?! She hadn't said anything, and he was the one who wasn't happy!]
[Birdie, tell me, is my personal charm really so poor? Does it have no effect on him at all?]
[Isn't there a rumor he has some affliction, incapable of intimacy? Probably he can look but not touch, heart full of grief, that's why he's retreating to the floor.]
[Hmm... makes sense.]
Nangong Mo: "..."
