994 Chapter 994 waking up in the middle of the night
The two of them curled up on the sofa and watched TV for a while. Perhaps because they were tired, s.h.i.+ nuannuan leaned into his arms and fell asleep unknowingly.
Xiang Yi felt that the person in his arms was not moving at all. He lowered his head slightly and his gaze stopped on her thick and curly eyelashes. Then, he slowly moved his arms and carried her up. He walked towards the bedroom with light steps.
“Xiang Yi…”
Placing her gently on the bed, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan found a comfortable position and slept soundly. She softly called his name.
He stood up and paused. When he heard her call his name in his sleep, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Although he still had an uncle who loved him dearly in this world, in the past twenty-seven years, other than his mother who had pa.s.sed away, he had not experienced this feeling of being missed by others for a long time.
His large palm gently brushed past the hair on her forehead. He could not help but lower his head and planted a kiss on her lips. Only then did he leave the room and gently close the door.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan slept very well on the big bed. In the living room, Xiang Yi did not leave the hotel. Instead, he sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and smoked lightly.
The smoke lingered and rose gently through his slender fingers. Finally, the smoke dissipated, leaving only the faint smell of tobacco in the room.
The night was gradually getting darker.
Outside the window, the lights not far away were gradually extinguished as the night approached. However, Xiang Yi’s heart was particularly heavy.
It was a quiet night, but he did not feel sleepy at all. He took out another cigarette and lit it up.
He did not know how much time had pa.s.sed, but he did not seem to have any intention of leaving the hotel. He just leaned on the sofa, cigarette after cigarette.
In the middle of the night, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan, who was in the bedroom, woke up in a daze and was a little thirsty.
She got up and rubbed her drowsy eyes. As she lifted the blanket and got off the bed, she, who had her eyes closed, placed her feet on the edge of the bed and fumbled for the slippers by the bed.
After a long while, she opened her eyes, put on the slippers, and got off the bed.
As soon as she opened the door, the glaring light from the living room shone on her, making her unable to adapt to it. She reached out to block the light in front of her eyes.
It was indeed difficult for her to adapt to the sudden strong light that shone on her room, which was originally dark.
Strange, she was used to turning off the lights when she was sleeping. Why was there still a light in the living room?
At this moment, her sleepiness had completely disappeared.
Could it be that this hotel was not safe and a thief had sneaked in in the middle of the night?
Thinking of this, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan could not help but tense up all over her body. She looked in the direction of the living room with a guarded expression.
That’s not right.
The scene before she went to sleep suddenly flashed in her mind.
She remembered that she was watching TV on the sofa with Xiang Yi? When did she run to the bed to sleep?
As she thought about it, she suddenly realized, could it be that Xiang Yi carried her to the bed?
If that was the case, he might have forgotten to turn off the lights in the living room when he left, right?
She walked out of the room and went to the living room to get a gla.s.s of water to drink. Just as she walked to the middle of the living room, she caught a glimpse of a figure leaning against the sofa.
She was stunned. If she had not seen clearly that the face was Xiang Yi’s, she would have been really scared in the middle of the night.
Xiang Yi did not leave?
When she woke up for the first time and saw Xiang Yi sleeping soundly, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan had a different feeling in her heart. It was a very subtle feeling.
She stepped lightly on the slippers under her feet and walked step by step to the front of the sofa. She bent down to admire Xiang Yi sleeping soundly.
