139 Let’s Sleep Together, Holding Hands, Okay?
Ji Zhao bit her lip nervously. She did not mind sharing a bed with Shen Yao.
However, if these words came out of her mouth, wouldn’t it seem too unreserved?
“No need.” Shen Yao, who was laying the blanket, looked up and smiled gently at her. “I think this is very good.”
“Then… good night?” Ji Zhao smiled and said softly.
“Mm, good night. Sweet dreams.”
Ji Zhao quickly picked up the blanket and quickly hid inside.
However, she was too nervous and most of the blanket fell under the bed.
Shen Yao smiled helplessly and helped her put the blanket up. However, he did not expect that he seemed to have accidentally hugged the leg wrapped in the blanket—
“You…” Ji Zhao’s eyes widened nervously, and her entire body stiffened.
“I…” Shen Yao subconsciously wanted to explain, and the tips of his ears gradually turned red.
“You didn’t cover yourself well. I was helping you rearrange the blanket.” Shen Yao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
“Oh… then… thank you?” Ji Zhao carefully pulled out her right leg and silently turned around. Her back was facing him, and her face was red.
“Ah Tao, who was the person we met in front of the bookstore today?” In order to ease the awkwardness at this moment, Shen Yao decided to ask the question in his heart.
“That’s the young master behind Octagonal Guests,” Ji Zhao subconsciously explained.
“Octagonal Guests?” Shen Yao frowned in confusion. “How do you know the young master of Octagonal Guests?”
“Didn’t Ji Huai come to Shanghe Village to cause trouble earlier? I went to Octagonal Guests.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and explained obediently, “After that, I met that young master. Meeting him outside the bookstore was just a coincidence.”
“Octagonal Guests is a famous gambling den in Dingyuan County. Most of the gamblers in the gambling den are from all walks of life.” Shen Yao frowned and said, “If you want to go to the gambling den in the future, remember to let me accompany you.”
“No need!” Ji Zhao smiled and waved her hand. “I’ve already taken care of Ji Huai’s matter. I won’t go to Octagonal Guests anymore.”
“Mm.” Shen Yao could not help but raise his eyebrows, a smile flickering in his eyes.
“Shen Yao.” Ji Zhao suddenly turned around and extended her hand to him. “Can I borrow your palm?”
Although he did not understand, Shen Yao still obediently stretched out his left hand.
Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and placed her right hand in his broad and warm palm.
“Shen Yao, let’s hold hands and sleep together, okay?”
“…Okay.” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows silently and agreed happily.
After an unknown period of time, Ji Zhao successfully entered the land of dreams.
The softness in his palm suddenly disappeared. Shen Yao slowly got up and walked to the edge of the bed. He first tucked Ji Zhao in before bending down to her sleeping face and planting a light kiss on her forehead.
Ah Tao, you probably don’t know how happy I am today.
The happiest thing in the world was that the person you loved happened to like you too.
The night passed uneventfully. The next morning.
When Ji Zhao sat on the bed and stretched lazily, Shen Yao had already brought her breakfast. “Pumpkin millet porridge, fried spring rolls, and chicken soup and wontons. What do you want to eat?”
“Chicken soup wontons!” Ji Zhao made her decision without hesitation.
After washing up, Ji Zhao happily enjoyed this rich breakfast.
“Shen Yao, why aren’t you eating?”
“There’s no hurry. You eat first.”
It was only when Shen Yao helped her settle the remaining breakfast that Ji Zhao felt an emotion rise in her heart. “You…”
