CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 367: LIE IN MY ARMS

She said, "Alright, alright, you can squeeze in with me."

"Worst case, I’ll just wake you up early in the morning, and you can catch up on sleep at the office."

She’s really at a loss with him.

She’s worried he won’t rest well here.

He, on the other hand, keeps going on about how she wants to kick him out.

"..."

Jiang Ruan is feeling helpless.

Since when did this man start to be so clingy?

Upon hearing this, Bao Ye is quite satisfied, "Mm."

"Let’s sleep."

Releasing her, he starts undressing as naturally as if he were at home.

Jiang Ruan: "..."

She just stares blankly, a bit confused.

He really doesn’t feel shy.

Spending the night outside, Bao Ye certainly won’t strip down completely, but close enough. He keeps on a white shirt and then lies on her small bed.

From birth until now, Bao Ye has never slept on such a small bed. Once he laid down, he immediately felt something was off.

The bed is too small; he almost takes up two-thirds of it.

Not to mention, his legs are hanging off the bed.

Bao Ye: "..."

Jiang Ruan then directly locked the door from the inside.

Given past experiences, she wants to avoid someone coming in directly tomorrow morning, in case he hasn’t left, which would be awkward.

She plugs in her phone to charge and sets several alarms before finally turning off the room’s light.

She only leaves a small night light on.

Coming over, she sees Bao Ye’s awkward posture; Jiang Ruan can’t help but let out a laugh, "See, I wasn’t lying. I told you this bed is too small, you’d definitely feel uncomfortable sleeping here."

Bao Ye covers up his discomfort, stretching out an arm to make room for her.

"Lie in my arms."

Bao Ye complains, "What is this crappy bed, so small yet people can actually sleep on it."

Jiang Ruan helplessly says, "This is just a temporary rest room, obviously it’s not like the luxurious bed at home."

"Should I book you a hotel then, you can sleep there?"

Jiang Ruan suggests,

Bao Ye’s face darkens, directly pulling her head into his embrace, "Shut up, just sleep like this."

"..." Jiang Ruan replies, "Oh."

She’s considering his comfort,

but he’s rather fierce.

Lying in his embrace, Jiang Ruan immediately feels cramped, very close, and the warmth rises rapidly.

So close, they can clearly hear each other’s intertwined breaths and even sense the heartbeat.

Thump thump, beating rapidly.

Holding her, Bao Ye buries his chin in his collar, breathing in the familiar scent, restraining himself from moving.

This bed is really too small.

But also truly tired, with her in his arms, Bao Ye’s drowsiness hits him all at once, and shortly after, he falls asleep holding her.

Listening to the stable breathing by her ear, a bit heavy, Jiang Ruan knows he’s been quite exhausted lately.

She wonders if his insomnia acted up when she wasn’t home.

With her ear pressed against his chest, she hears the firm and powerful heartbeat, like a pump.

Sugar spills from her lips.

Under the dim nightlight, she sneaks closer and plants a soft kiss on his lips.

Kisses his chin again.

Then finally closes her eyes, falling asleep in his arms,

Although cramped, perhaps because of his presence, Jiang Ruan sleeps particularly well.

She even has a beautiful dream.

In the dream, she sees herself marrying Bao Ye, wearing a snowy white dress — her favorite French fishtail style, a crown on her head, stepping toward him in crystal shoes.

However, a dream is just a dream.

Several hours pass quickly.

The sky is bright, the sun is up.

The piercing alarm wakes Jiang Ruan up, and opening her eyes, she is still a bit dazed, only feeling the unusual quiet around her ears.
