Chapter 74: Thrown on the bed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You really can’t fall asleep at all on the bed?” Mo Han asked her after taking a deep breath.
“I can’t fall asleep. Even if I did fall asleep eventually, I’ll get nightmares.” Sadness glinted slightly in Xia Qingyi’s eyes as she said this. She had not told Mo Han about the nightmares that she frequently had.
“But, you’ll have to sleep on the bed from now on.” Mo Han said as he stared straight at her.
Xia Qingyi felt that the gaze that Mo Han had looked at her with always gave her gooseb.u.mps unknowingly. “What do you mean?”
“Get on the bed.” Mo Han eyed the empty bed.
Xia Qingyi was a little afraid, “What are you doing?”
“To make you understand why you should only sleep on a bed.” Mo Han’s eyes turned cold suddenly, “Go out first, Shen Rou. Let her sleep.”
Shen Rou did not understand what was happening as well, though she could tell that it was not something nice. She moved forward to pull Mo Han swiftly, “It’s hard to change a habit to sleep on the floor. Why are you forcing her to change?”
Mo Han’s att.i.tude was strong. “No, she has to learn how to sleep on the bed alone.”
Xia Qingyi wanted to run away as she stood up. She, too, felt that nothing good would happen, but her wrist had been grabbed by Mo Han the moment she had stood up. Mo Han pushed her towards the bed, as she tried to push him away with both hands in fear. She wanted to leave, “Let go of me!”
“Why are you concerned with where I sleep? Who are you to bother me? Let go of me!” Xia Qingyi shouted as she desperately tried to pull Mo Han’s hands away.
“Who am I? I’m your older brother!” Mo Han said.
Shen Rou was pulling Mo Han on his side as well, “Let go, Mo Han. Why are you using such a strong method? Can’t we find a time to discuss this properly tomorrow?”
Mo Han stared at Xia Qingyi as he continued to pull her. His eyes never left her as he spoke to Shen Rou who was next to him, “Go out first, Shen Rou. I’ll go back to sleep after I’ve educated her properly today.”
“I don’t want to be educated by you! You pervert!” Xia Qingyi was still struggling against his hold.
Shen Rou had yet to leave the room. Mo Han was seemingly enraged as he spoke to Shen Rou in a louder voice, “Go out first.”
He had never spoken to her with his voice raised, not even when they had argued. He merely kept silent most of the time as their arguments were often them giving each other the cold shoulder. Shen Rou suddenly felt that the current Mo Han was someone she had never seen before and was so unfamiliar.
She glanced at the two who were still arguing before leaving the room.
However, just as she was about to walk out, she stopped in her tracks as she listened to the heated argument between Mo Han and Xia Qingyi. In that moment, she suddenly realized something, as the thought grew larger and occupied her entire mind.
No matter how much she did not want to admit it, Mo Han was no longer hers.
Mo Han and Xia Qingyi were still b.u.t.ting heads after Shen Rou had left the room. Xia Qingyi’s head had been originally dizzy and it was made worse by the pulling from earlier. All she could feel was that it was difficult to even breathe as she panted slightly. On the other hand, Mo Han had let go of Xia Qingyi’s hand after pausing for a few seconds. He turned to walk towards the door, wanting to turn off the lights.
Seeing that he had let go of her hand, Xia Qingyi quickly ran past him to the door in an attempt to leave the place. She did not expect Mo Han to grab her wrist once again the moment she had reached the door. Mo Han turned off the lights with his free hand and darkness filled the room immediately.
His actions were irrational to Xia Qingyi, “What are you doing exactly?!”
“Teaching you how to sleep properly.”
Xia Qingyi struggled once more, “I don’t want to! I don’t want to! I’ll sleep wherever I want to! It’s my freedom. I didn’t even affect you, who are you to bother me?!”
Mo Han did not bother to continue reasoning with her as he bent down to carry her princess-style towards the bed. Xia Qingyi, who was in his embrace, jumped in fright as she continued to move about, “Put me down, I don’t want to sleep on the bed!”
