169: Just sleep
Zhang Qingning's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, like ripe apples, even her neck was tinged with pink, like rouge spreading on fine Xuan paper.
She lowered her head, her fingers nervously twisting the corner of her clothes, the fabric distorted by her grip, revealing slender, pale wrists with veins faintly visible:
"I... I just watched a horror movie, and I'm a little scared... I can't sleep, so I... I want to sleep with you... Is that okay?"
After she finished speaking, she secretly raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Jiang Feng, then quickly lowered her head again, her eyes filled with a hint of anticipation and uneasiness.
Where was her usual cold, academic, older sister demeanor now?
She was completely a shy girl whose heart was stirring with spring love!
Even her voice trembled.
After Zhang Qingning said this, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Even she found this excuse clumsy, but she really couldn't think of a better reason...
She couldn't just say, "I like you and want to sleep with you..." right?
That would be too direct...
And it's late at night, so confessing isn't a good time!
She nervously awaited Jiang Feng's reply, her heart pounding as if it would leap from her throat, and the sweat on her palms had soaked the corner of her clothes.
If Jiang Feng refused, she really didn't know how to salvage the situation...
She would probably have to find an excuse to say she was going to get water, then scurry back to her own room.
Jiang Feng secretly chuckled to himself; this girl's excuse was too clumsy, obviously a lie.
But he pretended to have just realized, patted his forehead, and said with a hint of concern:
"So that's it; then come on up quickly..."
He deliberately moved aside, making space for Zhang Qingning, his movements so natural there were no flaws.
Jiang Feng: I have a clear conscience!
Jiang Feng felt this scene was quite exciting, with a mature and charming woman hidden in his arms, while he also had to deal with a naive and innocent girl beside him.
This feeling of having both was thrilling, yet also incredibly fulfilling, like playing a high-difficulty balancing game...
He could feel Zheng Yiyun's body trembling slightly under the covers, clearly very nervous, which brought a mischievous pleasure to his heart...
Zheng Yiyun, under the covers, had already woken up at this moment.
She heard Zhang Qingning's voice and froze, not daring to breathe, her heart almost stopping.
She could clearly feel Jiang Feng's body right beside her, and another girl was by the bed, so close she could smell the faint, fresh scent of a young girl on her...
This tense and exciting feeling made her heart pound incessantly, her palms were clammy with cold sweat, and her back was drenched...
This was far more thrilling than the unexpected incident in the bathroom last time!
At least there was a door in the bathroom, and foam in the bathtub...
Now, they were practically within arm's reach; the slightest movement would reveal them...
Zheng Yiyun felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, completely chilled.
She never expected Zhang Qingning to come over so suddenly; this was a bolt from the blue!
If Qing Ning discovered her and Jiang Feng like this, how could she ever face her again?
How could she ever face taking care of their two sisters?
Guilt and fear instantly overwhelmed her...
Zheng Yiyun wished she could slap herself; she remembered now that she had gone to the bathroom earlier, and when she came back, she was in such a hurry, only thinking of Jiang Feng, that she forgot to lock the door!
This oversight almost caused a disaster!
Fortunately, Zhang Qingning didn't come in five minutes earlier...
Otherwise, she would have seen a live spring painting!
In that case, she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River...
"Okay! But it's just for pure sleeping, okay? No dirty thoughts!"
Seeing that Jiang Feng didn't refuse, Zhang Qingning's face immediately broke into a joyful smile, like a child who had received candy, her eyes brightening.
She carefully climbed up, her movements light as a feather, afraid of disturbing Jiang Feng.
Her knees knelt on the mattress, making a slight sinking sound.
The moment she lay down, she suddenly felt something was off; her hand accidentally touched Jiang Feng's waist and abdomen, and the warm touch made her freeze—he was actually not wearing anything!
This discovery was like a lightning bolt striking her mind, making her instantly stiff...
Zhang Qingning's cheeks instantly became scorching hot, as if they were on fire, and even her neck turned completely red.
Heat spread through her blood vessels to her whole body, making her feel feverish.
She instinctively retracted her hand, nervously closed her eyes, her heart pounding as if it would burst from her chest.
She never expected Jiang Feng to be sleeping naked...
This made her both shy and a little flustered, her mind blank, as if a pause button had been pressed, all her thoughts stalled.
Zhang Qingning's heart pounded rapidly, all sorts of chaotic thoughts swirling in her mind:
Why would Jiang Feng sleep naked? He didn't have this habit before! Or... what was he doing just now?
She dared not think further, her cheeks so hot they could fry an egg, even her breathing became rapid...
She could only keep her eyes tightly shut, pretending nothing had happened, but her body involuntarily trembled slightly.
Zhang Qingning felt her body heating up, the warmth from Jiang Feng's body seeping through her thin pajamas, making her flustered.
She could clearly smell the faint scent of his shower gel, mixed with the refreshing scent unique to a young man.
This scent inexplicably made her feel at ease, yet even more shy, her hands and feet unsure of where to put themselves.
She secretly adjusted her breathing, trying to calm herself down, but her heart, as if disobedient, continued to beat rapidly...
Jiang Feng could clearly feel Zhang Qingning's nervousness.
Her body was trembling slightly, and her breathing became rapid, like a startled deer.
He was secretly pleased, but on his face, he pretended to be innocent, deliberately leaning closer to her, pressing tightly against her, his voice carrying a hint of confusion:
"What's wrong... Sister Qingning? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Your face looks a little red..."
He just liked seeing girls in this shy state in front of him; he found it especially cute.
Especially Zhang Qingning, who was usually a cold academic, the contrast in her cuteness at this moment made him find it even more interesting.
