CHAPTER 88: CHAPTER 88: PEI YAN GAINS AN ADVANTAGE YET PLAYS INNOCENT
Not long after, Pei Yan walked in.
Seeing Qin Yun obediently sleeping on his bed, he felt an indescribable emotion.
Lowering his eyes, he naturally walked to the other side, just planning to get into bed, when he heard Qin Yun pretending to be puzzled: "Where did you go? It took a while for you to come back."
Pei Yan: "..."
His gaze swept over her fair little face, then quickly looked away, "The agent sent me a script to choose from, so I went to print it out."
"Oh." Qin Yun nodded obediently, not continuing to tease.
As soon as Pei Yan got into bed, Qin Yun felt the whole bed sink a little. Pei Yan’s refreshing scent washed over her, lingering at her nose.
In that instant, Qin Yun suddenly felt the room was frighteningly quiet, hearing her own heartbeat clearly.
Feeling inexplicably restless, she turned over, back facing Pei Yan, closed her eyes, hoping to fall asleep quickly.
But tossing and turning several times, she still couldn’t sleep, which made the usually instant-sleeper Qin Yun even more annoyed.
She turned her head to look at Pei Yan, who seemed to already be asleep. Pei Yan looked exceptionally handsome, even from this angle, without a single flaw.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on his long, thick eyelashes, like a tiny brush casting a shadow on his eyelids.
She turned aside, intending to count how many lashes he had, but just as she lifted her body, she heard Pei Yan say, "What are you doing?"
Qin Yun froze instantly, a thought flashed through her mind: When did Pei Yan wake up?
Then their eyes met, and seeing the clarity in Pei Yan’s eyes, she instantly realized, this guy wasn’t asleep at all!!
This was the second time Pei Yan had caught her online embarrassment!
Qin Yun’s gaze flickered, she muttered irritably, "Why were you pretending to sleep if you weren’t?"
"Don’t you sleep with your eyes closed? Does closing your eyes mean you’re asleep?" Pei Yan threw back two questions, which made Qin Yun frustrated as she lay back down on the bed.
Qin Yun rolled over twice on the bed, sighed, stared at the ceiling, and said with difficulty, "Pei Yan, I can’t sleep, can you sing to me?"
He refused, "I can’t."
"Just hum a few notes, it’s okay. Even if it doesn’t sound good, I won’t mind."
"..."
"Come on, I’m ready."
Qin Yun snuggled into the blanket, closed her eyes seriously.
Pei Yan sighed softly, thought of a tune, and really started humming.
Qin Yun always knew Pei Yan’s voice was pleasant, the kind that was candy to the ears, but she didn’t expect that when he sang, her ears buzzed pleasantly, and even her heart trembled.
As it was to lull someone to sleep, he chose a gentle song, his voice low and soft, as if afraid a slightly heavier note would wake her, giving a feeling of tender care, warm and feathery.
Not long after, Qin Yun started feeling sleepy.
Before falling asleep, Qin Yun thought, Pei Yan said he couldn’t, but if he were not an actor, he could become a sleep coaxer.
After all, even for her, if it were coaxing in this way, she could do this every night!!
She didn’t know when Pei Yan stopped, but when she woke up dazedly, she found herself seemingly hugging something warm and, perplexingly, squeezed it a bit.
Hmm...this feel, quite bouncy.
Quite bouncy??
Qin Yun’s eyes snapped open, met with Pei Yan’s well-defined face, the one she stared at for so long last night.
She was bewildered for a couple of seconds, then immediately withdrew her body, "What the heck!!"
Didn’t she sleep in her own spot last night?
How did she wake up in a different place?
So, what was that thing she just felt??
Amidst Qin Yun’s swirling doubts, Pei Yan’s eyelashes twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes, taking in the burst of white and a moment of confusion.
When Qin Yun saw Pei Yan was awake, she immediately scooted back a little, feeling guilty.
Last night, she was so convinced, thinking Pei Yan was creating some boundary line, treating her like some female hooligan, a petty way of doing things.
But then...
Just one night later, she was totally proven wrong.
Even with a dividing line, she still managed to slip into Pei Yan’s bed, hugging his body...
She sat on the bed with a look of existential crisis and dejection.
Pei Yan was not fully awake yet, when he heard Little C excitedly say, "Life Value +185 hours."
"...??" Pei Yan was instantly alert.
"What happened? Why did so much Life Value suddenly increase?" Pei Yan asked, a cold face, communicating with Little C in his mind.
Then, as if recalling something, his gaze fell on the person on the other side of the bed.
Qin Yun seemed to be lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking, looking all existential crisis-like, and the pillow between them had already disappeared.
There were still faint traces showing Qin Yun had just gotten out of his bed.
Indeed, it was because somehow Qin Yun ended up on his side last night, their bodies touched, which suddenly yielded this much Life Value.
No wonder Qin Yun looked so shocked upon waking, perhaps she didn’t expect to wander into his bed while asleep.
A hint of amusement flickered in Pei Yan’s eyes, but quickly, he suppressed it, nodding his head slightly, "Aren’t you going to explain?"
Because of just waking up, Pei Yan’s voice was a bit husky, different from the singing voice last night, but even more alluring!
Qin Yun was incredibly grateful she wasn’t a voice fetishist, or else in this situation, with this voice, she couldn’t guarantee her self-control.
Nonetheless, her ears still turned red, awkwardly tugging the corners of her mouth.
She still hadn’t figured out what that bouncy thing was she felt upon waking, and now Pei Yan’s eyes were on her, making her truly feel somewhat like a female hooligan.
Qin Yun cleared her throat a few times, her fingers picking at the sheet, glanced at Pei Yan with a guilty conscience, "Uh, well, I say I don’t know why either, would you believe me?"
"Hmm?" Pei Yan raised his pitch slightly.
"So what do you say then!" Qin Yun ruffled her hair in self-defeat, "I didn’t expect I’d end up over there while sleeping either."
After saying that, suddenly Qin Yun realized.
Wait!! Why should she feel guilty!
It was her first time sharing a bed with a guy too!
Both of them were first-timers, Pei Yan wasn’t at a loss!
Besides! She didn’t get to sleep on Pei Yan at all!
At most, she borrowed his body for a hug, and logically speaking, having hugged for so long, Pei Yan surely got the benefit.
He’s getting the advantage and still playing coy!!
Qin Yun’s reason returned instantly, "I should be helping you, right? Saved you the time from holding my hand, hugging me. You just got benefits after one sleep; shouldn’t you give me some reward?"
