CHAPTER 656: CHAPTER 655: A BLUSHING HEART-POUNDING DREAM

Ye Shengnan laughed, "If you’re envious, I can also escort you upstairs in the future."

"No need for that," Jiang Yao slowly said, "I haven’t had the chance to tell Qiaoqiao about this yet."

Ye Shengnan’s voice suddenly lowered, "Oh."

Jiang Yao scratched her ear, her expression a mix of difficulty and indecision, "I just haven’t figured out how to tell her, don’t be mad, okay? I will definitely tell her when the right time comes."

Ye Shengnan wasn’t really mad to begin with, just a bit disappointed, but hearing Jiang Yao say this, he couldn’t help but feel like teasing her, "Then act coquettish, and I’ll consider whether or not to be mad."

"..."

Jiang Yao coughed twice, pushing down her unintentionally delicate tone and reverted to her usual cool tone, "Then just be mad."

Act coquettish?

What a joke.

Ye Shengnan knew that hearing Jiang Yao act coquettish was harder than reaching the sky, he didn’t have much hope to begin with. Before he could say anything, Jiang Yao’s voice became careful again, "Or, you could change your request? I’ll see if I can do it?"

"What if I can’t do it?"

Jiang Yao quickly replied, "Then pretend I didn’t say anything."

Ye Shengnan burst out laughing.

Jiang Yao muttered, "Can’t you ask for something I can actually do? It’s no fun to challenge me like this..."

"Alright, I won’t make it hard for you, I’m not mad, don’t overthink it."

"Really?" Jiang Yao was somewhat skeptical.

"Really," Ye Shengnan said, "Didn’t you say you would tell her when the right time comes? I can wait."

Jiang Yao lowered her eyes, feeling a bit guilty inside.

Actually, she had just made an excuse, and hadn’t expected Ye Shengnan to take it to heart.

"Mhm," she said, "I will."

Ye Shengnan was satisfied, "Alright then, let’s sleep, don’t we both have work tomorrow?"

"Then... good night."

"Good night."

-

The next morning, before her alarm rang and before Jiang Yao could begin her wakeup call, Wen Qiao "suddenly" opened her eyes.

She first stared at the ceiling for a while, then the images from her dream reappeared in her mind, prompting Wen Qiao to whimper softly, pulling the blanket over her head before her cheeks could fully turn red, covering herself from head to toe.

She wrapped herself up tightly.

It was too embarrassing.

Really too embarrassing.

Being Wen Qiao, she had never been completely naive, but neither had she been filled entirely with silly fantasies.

And yet, last night, she had the first, heart-racing dream of her twenty-two years of life.

Fu Jinghen had appeared in her dreams before, but last night was the first time he had entered her dreams in such a manner.

The Fu Jinghen in her dreams was not at all easy to talk to like usual.

...

Wen Qiao furiously threw off the blanket, not knowing if it was out of shyness or what, and rolled around on the bed.

It was all because on their first night of engagement, Fu Jinghen had nonchalantly appeared in front of her wrapped in just a towel after his shower, which made him appear so vividly in her dreams.
