Liu Wei had already taken a shower and blown dried his hair. He had worn the same clothes as before to prevent Liling from finding out his plot the next morning.He was about closing his laptop after he was done with work when he heard a slight knock on the door. He thought he misheard so he decided to ignore it since, it was just him and Liling in the main building and Liling had obviously retired for the night.
The knock came again but this time a bit louder. Liu Wei quickly placed the laptop in its original position and adjusted himself on the bed after which he said curtly.
"Come in"
The door opened and a pet.i.te figure with a very big pillow walked in. Liu Wei had a puzzled look on his face.
"What was she doing?"
"Mr Liu Wei, I figured that you could need some help at night so..., I"ll stay here in case you need something. "
" "
Liu Wei was rendered speechless.
"When did Liling become so thoughtful? "
After sometime, he smiled and replied politely.
"It"s very thoughtful of you, come in"
Liling smiled and closed the door behind her, she quickly walked to the large sofa and lay down facing away from him.
Liu Wei watched her every move, he felt an urge to tell her to come sleep on the bed since the sofa was not so soft and it may cause cramps even though it was large enough to contain her body but he stopped himself. He knew that no matter what he told her, she wouldn"t share the same bed with him, so he struck out the idea.
Liling lay hugging her pillow tightly, for over ten minutes, she couldn"t even fall asleep. Her thoughts kept drifting to the person on the bed.
The more she tried to catch some sleep, the more awake she became. She regretted not bringing her phone with her.
After sometime, she felt that she had laid on a spot for so long and she decided to change positions. Turning to face the bed, her eyes met the figure on it.
His eyes were closed and his face was calm. His lips shut in a thin line. Liling traced the outline of his jaws with her eyes.
"Mr Liu Wei is extremely handsome when he sleeps"
Since he was already asleep, Liling felt relaxed staring at him for long, she took her time to admire his features very well.
Liu Wei was finding it hard to sleep, his thoughts drifting off to the person on the sofa. Since she had been backing him, he had watched her back. When he saw her move, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
He felt that she was staring at him, but he tried to maintain a shut eye.
He was tempted to open his eyes and confirm if she was really watching him or it was just his imagination playing tricks on him.
As soon as his eyes opened, they locked into two big bright black eyes. Liling who was caught off guard shut her eyes almost immediately.
Her cheeks flushed in extreme embarra.s.sment.
She was caught staring at him, no... he caught her gaping helplessly at him!!
She wished that the sofa would give way and she would be buried underneath. She felt her whole body reddening.
"Get me a bottled water "
Liu Wei said after about a minute. The pet.i.te girl felt like dying, wasn"t it enough that he caught her looking at him?, must he make it obvious that she was pretending to be asleep?
She gritted her teeth in utter embarra.s.sment and quietly stood up after a few seconds, without even sparing him a glance, she scurried outside of the room.
Liu Wei was grinning from ear to ear.
She was looking at him which means she was admiring him right?
He wanted to be sure that she was really awake and he was not just imagining things so he had sent her to get him a bottled water.
He smiled mischievously, and mentally shook himself for coming up with such a nice plan.
