Chapter 1809: Tossing and Turning, All Because of You
Much less being p.r.i.c.ked by Han Zhuoling’s stubble, which made s.h.i.+ Xiaoya regret doing it instantly.
She would not have kissed him if she had known earlier.
Han Zhuoling also really did not expect that without him asking, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya would take the initiative to kiss him.
If he’d known, he would have lowered his head long ago.
Why would he only let her kiss his chin?
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Han Zhuoling chuckled.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had finally gathered the courage to do that. When she heard him say that, she instantly felt her embarra.s.sment turn to anger slightly and said, “You should go soon!”
Han Zhuoling held his laughter back. Seeing that he’d made her anxious, he lowered his head and kissed the corners of her lips, not daring to touch her lips anymore.
“Okay, I’m really leaving now. Have a good rest,” Han Zhuoling said.
This voice was really indulgent.
As if in front of s.h.i.+ Xiaoya, he completely did not know what anger felt like.
Han Zhuoling was really leaving this time.
He was afraid that if he dragged it longer, he might really not leave.
After sending Han Zhuoling out of the door, and when Han Zhuoling saw that there was no one on the corridor, he quickly returned to his room.
Yet they did not notice that there was a staff at the end of the corridor who happened to see them.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya returned to the bed and turned off the light. Indeed, she could not sleep.
The moment she closed her eyes, all she could think of were the images of Han Zhuoling hugging her and kissing her.
In the quiet room, she kept on replaying what Han Zhuoling had said to her.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya hummed and harped, wrapping herself in the blanket and rolling around on the bed. She really could not fall asleep.
Since she could not fall asleep, she decided not to sleep.
She took out her phone and decided to watch some dramas to distract herself.
Or else, at every moment, Han Zhuoling’s face and voice would spring up in her mind. It was uncontrollable.
She found the drama that she had been following. Quite a few episodes had been updated. It was just that she watched slowly and could only watch when she had the time, so she did not manage to catch up to the latest episode at all.
In the end, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya realized that she actually was not paying attention to the drama.
She stared at the screen in a daze for one and a half episodes, yet she actually did not get what they were acting about.
She turned off the drama in frustration. She opened WeChat and just stared at Han Zhuoling’s name in a daze.
She wondered if he was asleep now.
If he was resting well, and could fall asleep, how unfair would that be?
As she thought about that, her phone suddenly rang.
It gave s.h.i.+ Xiaoya a scare.
She was looking at her phone while lying down, so her phone almost slipped and landed directly on her face.
When she looked at it again, the screen displayed Han Zhuoling’s name.
He hasn’t slept?
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s heart jumped up instantly.
Thinking how he felt exactly the same as she did made her feel really the sweetness.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya quickly picked up the phone. “h.e.l.lo.”
Her ear pressed closely against the phone and she heard Han Zhuoling’s chuckle from the other end of the call.
It sounded ridiculously nice even when she heard it over the phone, and hearing it made her ears itch as well.
“I can’t sleep,” Han Zhuoling said without hiding anything. “So I really wanted to hear your voice. Judging from your voice, you haven’t slept either?”
Hearing her voice, it sounded very clear.
“Yeah…” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya answered meekly.
“After I came back, I couldn’t fall asleep. I tossed and turned on the bed, all because of you,” Han Zhuoling said.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya flipped around, burying half of her face into the soft and fluffy pillow. Her ear also pressed her phone into the pillow. Pressing down on it like this to talk was actually quite convenient.
She clutched a corner of the pillow tightly with her other hand. She would feel nervous just from hearing his voice now.
This man, how was he so good at talking in the middle of the night?
“I can’t fall asleep either,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said honestly.
Han Zhuoling chuckled. “I wanted to call you a long time ago, but I was worried that you might be sleeping and I might disturb you. But I really could not hold it in now and really wanted to hear your voice. I didn’t expect that you haven’t slept yet either.”
