Zhuang Nainai saw Si Zhengting walk out and jumped right back into the bed and under the covers.

She lay down and discovered that there was only one blanket on the bed.

Did they have to sleep under the same blanket tonight?

Zhuang Nainai hid her head underneath the blanket and slipped to one side of the bed. She wrapped herself tightly in a bundle using half of the blanket and remained still, shutting her eyes and listening for any movement.

A steady rhythm of footsteps sounded in the room. Si Zhengting must have walked to the closet and got changed. He then walked to the sofa and sat in it. It then went silent.

What was he doing?

Were they… going to be sleeping separately tonight?

Zhuang Nainai could not resist and, after a few minutes, took a peek from behind the covers. She saw Si Zhengting typing away furiously on his laptop.

A busy man indeed.

Zhuang Nainai breathed a sigh of relief. She could not sleep so she started watching a drama on her phone. Time crept by and it was soon 11 pm.

She was deeply engrossed in the show when she heard footsteps in the distance.

Zhuang Nainai turned to find Si Zhengting on his feet and approaching the bed. She hastily threw the phone under the pillow and shut her eyes tightly, pretending to be already asleep.

She then felt the other side of the bed sink. The blanket was lifted and he crawled in under the covers.

A fresh masculine scent mixed with a lovely shower gel fragrance wafted towards her. She felt her body tense up and sensed him sitting on the bed for a while. He then switched off the bedside lamp and lay down, still.

His breath evened out after a short while.

They could hear each other’s breathing in the dark.

Zhuang Nainai ‘s eyes widened in surprise. He fell asleep just like that?

That was really quick indeed!

She quietly turned to look in Si Zhengting’s direction and saw that his eyes were closed in the dark. She gave an inaudible sigh of relief.

Her tensed-up body could finally relax, and she turned to find a comfortable sleeping position. She closed her eyes and was about to sleep when…

A large warm hand reached out and enveloped her around her waist. Zhuang Nainai was flipped onto her back, and a man was on top of her in a second.

Zhuang Nainai was stunned, but her shout was m.u.f.fled by his kiss.

Si Zhengting was rough tonight, and there was an air of vengeance in his moves. He gave his all in every thrust and Zhuang Nainai was quickly overwhelmed.

She whimpered and wanted to say something, but his kiss stopped her. She reached out, but her hands were clamped down by his. He was very strong for his slender build, and Zhuang Nainai could not stop his advances.

The big bed creaked under their vigorous moves, and at last, with a hard thrust, it finally ended.

Zhuang Nainai felt her whole body go limp. She barely had any energy left to even lift her fingers.

She opened her eyes wide in the dark and breathed deeply with her mouth open.

She thought she would die in the throes of pa.s.sion just now.

Her chest heaved violently, their sweat was mixed up with each other’s.

They breathed heavily with their eyes locked together. They were so close, yet so far, and they could not see the other’s heart.
