Chapter 1696: Climbing into Bed

Ye Qianqian had just laid down on the bed when she heard a knock on the door from outside .

Shen Zhilie held the blanket in his arms . He looked at the door and knocked twice before pulling his hand back .

What am I doing?

He had only thought as far as to knock the door . What was he going to do after that?

Just as Shen Zhilie was about to disregard everything and change his mind, the door opened .

Ye Qianqian looked at Shen Zhilie . When she noticed the blanket bundled in his arms, she blinked and asked, “What is it?”

“Um, if you gave your blanket to me, what are you using to sleep?”

“I’m using the bed! It’s fine . I just increased the temperature of the air conditioner . ”

“That won’t do . Increasing the temperature is of no use . The effects of sleeping without a blanket will still linger . You’ll likely catch a chill . ”

I’m not so weak to catch a chill so easily…

Ye Qianqian thought to herself . When she caught Shen Zhilie’s expression, she recalled the previous consequences of the chill she caught due to not drying her hair .

She swallowed the words she had been about to utter and said, “I think it’ll be fine . Won’t it be easier for you to catch a chill while sleeping outside?”

Shen Zhilie’s heart skipped a beat . An audacious thought suddenly crossed his mind .

As he stared at her, he couldn’t bring himself to vocalize it .

He looked down at the blanket and said, “I’m a man . I’ll be fine . Let me bring in this blanket in . It’s quite heavy . ”

Ye Qianqian had no response .

What a stubborn man!

She had already said her piece . Couldn’t he just go with the flow and say something else?

Why did he have to keep harping on the blanket?

Ye Qianqian felt a little annoyed . She had the urge to crack his head open to see for herself what he was thinking .

She clenched her jaw and moved aside . After Shen Zhilie laid the blanket on the bed, he didn’t seem in a hurry to leave .

He slowly spread the blanket on the bed and smoothened it out—a process that took close to a minute to accomplish .

Ye Qianqian felt uneasy . She stood by the door for some time before finally gently closing it .

She glanced at Shen Zhilie and realized that he wasn’t paying any attention to her . Her heart skipped a beat . She was suddenly overcome by a guilty conscience .

She took two steps forward and tumbled into bed . She burrowed under the covers, and said, “I’m going to sleep now . ”

Disappointment washed over Shen Zhilie when he witnessed that .

When he turned around and saw that the door to the room was closed, he was surprised .

Immediately after, Shen Zhilie realized that Ye Qianqian was sleeping on one side of the bed and not in the middle .

Well…

What was this supposed to mean?

The audacious thought from moments before suddenly resurfaced in Shen Zhilie’s mind . His heartbeat sped up to the point that he was holding his breath .

Slowly and quietly, he lifted a corner of the blanket and climbed in .

He was enveloped by his guilty conscience . It felt as if he were committing some crime in secret .

When he heard the slight sound of breathing beside him, his heart filled with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and gratification .

He inched his way over closer to her .

Hm, this was perfect .

Ye Qianqian did not react .

Shen Zhilie gently turned over . He stared at the back of her head and took a deep breath . He could smell her fragrant scent .

Ye Qianqian, on the other hand, kept her eyes closed tightly . She could sense his nearness . Her whole body tensed .

When she realized he hadn’t come any closer, she suddenly felt a sense of disappointment .

What a dummy!

Sigh . How on earth did I end up with such a boyfriend?

If I hadn’t closed the door, this guy would probably never have dared to climb into bed . Does he expect me to make the first move?

What the h*ll!

Oh well, it’s probably because we are too familiar with each other . Considering the sudden change in our relationship, he probably…
