So he had already returned.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how sly he usually was. She suspected that he wasn"t really asleep, but was pretending to sleep so that he could catch her off guard and do things to her later on.

She grew more and more curious. Walking in her slippers, she snuck over to the bedside.

However, she didn"t dare to get too close to the bed, maintaining a distance away in case he was pretending to sleep. That way, if he lunged up and grabbed her she still had s.p.a.ce to escape.

However, as she got closer and closer to him, she realized that he really did look like he was sleeping.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little dejected. Had she been imagining things? Maybe he didn"t understand her hints?

According to his personality, he wouldn"t be able to fall asleep if he had gotten her hints.

Mu Xiaoxiao crawled up the bed and lay beside him. Moving her head close, she observed his handsome face at close quarters.

He really was asleep.

Also, she realized that he was frowning as he slept, looking as if he were troubled by many things.

Mu Xiaoxiao"s instinct was to lean forward and smoothen his brow. However, she didn"t want to wake him up from his sleep and thus decided not to.

Turning around, she switched the lights off and leaned her head close to his.

She could smell him in every breath she took.

Gradually, her eyelids closed and fell asleep with him.

When Mu Xiaoxiao woke up the next morning, she found a blanket over herself. She stretched languidly and kicked the blanket away out of habit.

The blanket slid off to reveal her chest.

Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked. With a stunned expression on her face she pulled up the covers quickly and covered her chest up.

She blinked dazedly. It was then that she remembered that she hadn"t brought her pajamas into the bathroom last night and thus had only come out in a towel. This meant that she had fallen asleep with only a towel around herself.

Upon thinking about her sleeping posture…

Mu Xiaoxiao covered her face with both hands bashfully.

Goodness gracious! It was too shameful!

She snuck a peek at the s.p.a.ce beside her and realized that Yin Shaojie wasn"t there anymore. She didn"t know where he went.

She didn"t even need to use her brain to think to know that he must have seen how ugly her sleeping posture was in the morning after waking up and placing a blanket over her.

Wouldn"t her body have been fully exposed to him?

Goodness gracious!

What the h*ll!

Mu Xiaoxiao screamed silently as she kicked her limbs about under the covers, wis.h.i.+ng that she could beat herself up.

She had never slept naked before and this was the first time feeling sheets against her bare skin. It felt a little… weird.

Mu Xiaoxiao blushed and pulled the blanket up to her eyes.

Her bright, dark eyes looked around the room and fixed on the bathroom door eventually.

Was Yin Shaojie in the bathroom?

Should she rush over to the luggage and put on clothes while he was in the bathroom?

Mu Xiaoxiao thought for two seconds before springing into action. She didn"t want Yin Shaojie to suddenly emerge from the bathroom.

Mu Xiaoxiao wrapped the blanket around herself and rushed to her luggage, searching for her clothes.

It would be the fastest to don her pajamas, for it was the first set of clothes that greeted her.

However, upon thinking about how she still had to change out of her pajamas after that, she would rather take out her clothes to put on.

Just as she was about to do so, she heard Han Qiqing"s voice ring out from the outside.

"Xiaoxiao! Are you awake? It"s time for breakfast!"

Mu Xiaoxiao froze. Perhaps it was because she just woke up, or that she was in this situation, but her reflexes were a little slow.

In the next second, the door handle turned and Han Qiqing"s voice rang out clearer, "Xiaoxiao, you —"
