Chapter 118 She Waited in Vain
The sudden thought made Si Yejue's face red.
He turned to change his pajamas and blow-dried his hair.
Gu Nian lied in the bed, and when she heard Si Yejue come out of the bathroom, she immediately held her breath and closed her eyes tightly.
She pretended to be asleep.
In fact, her heart was beating fast as if it was about to jump out.
Si Yejue stood by the bed and looked down at Gu Nian.
He thought she was sleeping soundly.
Then he thought again about what she had asked Qin Lie before...
He believed that she was supposed to come here just to sleep.
A man and a woman stayed in the same room.
He thought since she was so relieved to share a room with him, he could not betray her trust!
Si Yejue turned around and took the blanket, and slept on the floor directly next to the bed.
Eyes closed, Gu Nian held her breath, waiting.
When she noticed Si Yejue hadn't slept in bed yet, she opened her eyes, only to find that he was sleeping on the floor.
Gu Nian blinked blankly...
She wondered if she waited in vain?
As a girl, she then thought it was better to be reserved.
Gu Nian was a little depressed, but then she probably felt there was the smell of Si Yejue on the quilt.
Besides, he was right next to her. Both made her feel very safe.
Soon, she fell asleep.
When Si Yejue heard her steady breathing, he stood up, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead tenderly.
"Good night, my little princess."
His hair brushed against Gu Nian's skin.
Gu Nian, who was sleeping, raised her hand and rubbed her head.
"Stop it, puppy. It tickles."
After saying that, she turned over, sleeping still.
Si Yejue was speechless.
He was a puppy?
It was not easy for him to muster up the courage to kiss her.
But he was mistaken for the puppy!
Si Yejue then thought it was getting cold, shouldn't it be time to stew a dog broth to nourish the kidneys?
Si Yejue was a little depressed and continued to sleep on the floor.
...
The day dawned.
Gu Nian opened her eyes and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar room.
She pulled the quilt again to sniff the smell of Si Yejue, and then remembered what happened last night.
She immediately woke up and looked under the bed.
He was not here.
Gu Nian went out and saw Mrs. Xu. She asked, "Where's Jue?"
Seeing Gu Nian coming out of Si Yejue's room, Mrs. Xu answered, "Mr. Si has gone to the company."
Gu Nian looked at the time. It was only half past seven.
"Did he go so early? He didn't even wait for me to get up and have breakfast together."
Looking at the angry Gu Nian, Mrs. Xu asked, "Are you going to go back to your home today?"
Gu Nian gave an affirmative answer with a depressive look.
It was because she was going back home in the future.
She couldn't see him in the morning or at night.
Therefore, she felt upset.
Mrs. Xu chuckled, "Mr. Si can't bear to part with you. He's afraid he will force you to stay, so he went to the company first."
Listening to Mrs. Xu's words, Gu Nian's heart was likely to be hit.
It hurt but she still felt touched.
Because she was getting better, he tried to let go and set her free.
She asked him to trust her again.
He nodded and did it.
"I see. Could you help me put away Si Yejue's sheets, quilt covers, and pillows?"
Mrs. Xu was stunned, "Huh?"
It was the first time she had heard such a request.
Gu Nian blushed and responded, "I'm picky about the bed. I can sleep with the bedding which has his smell."
With the smell of him, she could sleep tight at night.
Mrs. Xu grinned, "You young people really know how to play."
Gu Nian's face was getting redder.
Mrs. Xu went on, "Miss Gu, hurry downstairs to have breakfast. Mr. Si has prepared a present for you."
Gu Nian's eye lit up. She asked, "What is it?"
Mrs. Xu shook her head and replied, "I don't know, you can see for yourself. Does anything else I can do for you?"
Speaking of gifts.
Gu Nian thought since she would go back home, she had to give Zhou Chen a gift.
"Buy me a black packing box, I'm going to give it to someone, and take this photo..."
Gu Nian sent the photo to Mrs. Xu and said, "Go to print it in black and white, make it into a photo frame, and help me order some food..."
Mrs. Xu kindly reminded, "Miss. Gu, the packing box shouldn't be black. It's associated with death. It's not good."
Gu Nian answered with a smile, "That's what I mean."
