CHAPTER 650: CHAPTER 649: GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES

After finishing using the bathroom, Han Mingyue walked into the living room and noticed a streak of light coming out from the gap under Zhen Yu’s door.

He hesitated for a moment, standing between the two bedrooms, but finally decided to knock on the door.

Knock knock—

"Xiao Yu? Can I come in?"

"Sure!"

After hearing Zhen Yu’s response, Han Mingyue pushed open her door and walked in.

"You,"

Han Mingyue initially wanted to ask Zhen Yu why she wasn’t sleeping yet, but he immediately noticed her wearing a white T-shirt, sitting on the bed with her legs curled up and leaning against the headboard, dozing off...

His face quickly turned red as he suddenly recalled the scene when he bumped into her in the bathroom!

So, he hurriedly walked towards the bed, reaching out to grab Zhen Yu’s ankles and straightened her legs!

Zhen Yu was instantly terrified, uncontrollably opened her eyes, and screamed!

"Ah!"

"What’s wrong!?"

Han Mingyue, who was initially trying to find something to cover her legs, also got startled!

After all, scaring someone—could scare someone to death!

"Why are you grabbing my legs?!"

Zhen Yu’s voice trembled fiercely, it was getting intense!

Han Mingyue sensed something unusual and curiously asked, "Are you scared? What are you afraid of?"

Zhen Yu glared at him fiercely! After swallowing her saliva, she still truthfully answered, "I’m afraid of ghosts!"

Han Mingyue: "..."

As a student who believed only in science and not in ghosts, even though he stumbled over his words several times, he still couldn’t find any comforting words to say.

—

In the middle of the night, it wasn’t good for them to just keep standing like this, especially since they had school tomorrow!

So, after an awkward silence, Han Mingyue took the initiative to speak.

"Then, how about I keep you company and chat for a while? See if you can fall asleep?"

"...Okay!"

Originally, if Han Mingyue had not come in and grabbed her suddenly, Zhen Yu herself would have been sleepy in a while, and could have got into her blankets and slept.

But because of his sudden move!

The ghost stories that were nearly chased away by drowsiness had all flown back into Zhen Yu’s mind...

Leaving her to sleep alone now, she genuinely dared not.

"Weren’t you also sleeping alone before? Why are you suddenly scared tonight?"

Zhen Yu’s long legs were stretched out straight on the blanket, which made Han Mingyue feel embarrassed! So, he deliberately moved to sit on a chair quite far from the bed, then somewhat puzzled, he asked.

Being asked made Zhen Yu feel a bit uncomfortable, after all, she couldn’t control her own thoughts!

Actually, sometimes, even after she turned on the light and looked in the mirror, she would just briefly overthink a bit! After returning to her room, she usually fell asleep quickly.

But sometimes! She would be scared for a long time and couldn’t sleep, her feet accidentally extending out of the blanket, she’d shiver for quite a while!

"It’s an intermittent issue for me!"

Ultimately, that was the only explanation Zhen Yu could give.

After hearing this, Han Mingyue felt somewhat worried for her, "So, do you also feel this way when you’re in the school dormitory?"

"The dormitory bathroom doesn’t have a mirror!"

Zhen Yu blurted out without thinking!

After finishing, she realized she mentioned the word ’mirror,’ and her mind immediately started making some unpleasant associations!

So she quickly added, "Besides, I have excellent sleep quality! As long as I’ve used the bathroom before bedtime, I never wake up in the middle of the night!"

Before she could even finish speaking, she noticed Han Mingyue’s gaze, so she quickly added another line, "Except when I have diarrhea!"

Han Mingyue: "..."

—

"Before this, when you were living here alone, were you also this scared?"

For some reason, tonight Han Mingyue turned into a curious baby! He kept bombarding Zhen Yu with questions non-stop.

And for her part, Zhen Yu cooperated fully with him, answering every question.

"I don’t get up at night even when I’m alone! Even if I do, I don’t turn on the lights, just groggily go in and groggily come out."

"...When did you start having this habit?! I remember when you were little you were really afraid of the dark!"

"When I was little I was afraid of the dark! Now I’m not afraid of the dark anymore, I..."

The last few words were swallowed by Zhen Yu.

"So when did you start being afraid of this? Do you know what caused it?"

In a flash, Han Mingyue suddenly transformed into a psychologist.

Instantly, the answer popped into Zhen Yu’s head! Then she realized she had been tricked! Tricked badly!

The topic just kept going round and round on this. Was she even going to sleep tonight???

Thinking this, she said exactly that.

"If you keep chatting with me like this, I won’t need to sleep tonight!"

"Ah?!"

Han Mingyue was startled at first, then belatedly realized that the topic of his conversation had indeed been inappropriate!

Maybe he was too sleepy his brains had slowed down... just asking out of habit...

"So, are you still afraid now?"

"How would I know! I probably am... not afraid!"

Zhen Yu’s words were extremely contradictory.

Han Mingyue fell silent and hesitated for a few seconds, finally deciding to stand up, "I’ll make a bed on the floor and keep you company!"

—

Just as Han Mingyue was about to walk to the room door, obviously planning to get bedding from his brother’s room, Zhen Yu hesitated for two seconds before finally speaking!

"The floor is too cold!"

"?"

Han Mingyue turned his head, baffled, to look at her.

Zhen Yu’s face instantly turned red under his gaze!

She quickly lowered her head, then suddenly realized she had been bare-legged all along and hastily started to pull the blanket over herself!

After giving her a mysterious look twice, Han Mingyue suddenly said in a languid tone, "I’ve been watching for a long time, you covering now isn’t it too late?"

"Boom!" Zhen Yu felt as if a wave of heat rushed to her face! All of her became uncomfortable instantly!

"You! Go make your bed on the floor quickly!"

Two minutes later, the lights in the room finally turned off.

Han Mingyue lay on the floor beside Zhen Yu’s bed, gently closing his eyes.

"Sleep."

Zhen Yu: "Mm."

...Another two minutes later, Zhen Yu’s voice echoed in the darkness.

"Han Mingyue?"

"...Mm?"

"Maybe you should come up to bed... the floor is cold!"

Han Mingyue slowly opened his eyes, silently chuckling in the dark.

"No need, go to sleep!"

"But,"

"Stop buts, it’s late! Go to sleep now!"

Zhen Yu: "..."

...Half a minute later.

"Han Mingyue I’m scared!"

Han Mingyue quickly opened his eyes! He flipped over from the floor and sat up immediately!

"Don’t be scared! I’m here!"
