Chapter 276: Sweet Night

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mei Shu tried calling several times without any success, so she temporarily gave up.

She tossed her phone aside, thinking it wouldn’t hurt for Lu Si to spend the night here. He had slept here before, and they could send him back to normal once he recovered.

With this thought, she headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom, Lu Si was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing Mei Yun’s new pajamas, and Mei Yan was nowhere to be seen.

It was quite surprising; Lu Si was actually brought back here by Mei Yan, which was unexpected. She thought Mei Yan might keep him this time and not let him come to her room as he did last time.

“Where’s Yanyan? The little brother from earlier,” Mei Shu asked curiously.

Lu Si’s body tensed, and his voice sounded a bit hoarse as he replied, “The little brother got annoyed with me and sent me back. He didn’t want to play with me.”

Mei Shu couldn’t help stifling a laugh, as she instantly imagined the two of them getting into a fuss.

“Alright then, Xiao Bao, you can sleep with Sister tonight!” Mei Shu said and lifted the corner of the blanket, inviting him to get in.

Lu Si suddenly felt a bit nervous, fearing that Mei Shu might notice something. He quickly crawled under the blanket without any hesitation, not wanting to linger outside for even a moment.

Although the blanket wasn’t the one Mei Shu used, it still carried her sweet scent.

Lu Si could even hear the sound of his heart pounding. His body quickly tensed up, and his face flushed.

Fortunately, Mei Shu didn’t notice.

She moved to the vanity and began her skincare routine. After making herself smell nice, she casually turned off the light.

The room instantly turned dark.

Lu Si felt his heart pounding even harder in the darkness. He quickly pulled the blanket up to his chest.

He sensed a dip in the bed on the other side, and he couldn’t help but hold his breath.

“Xiao Bao, are you sleepy?” Mei Shu moved closer, wanting to check if he was awake or not.

But her proximity to him in the dark enveloped him in her scent, and he felt nervous. His throat felt tight. He managed to croak, “Mm.”

Mei Shu patted his head affectionately. “Alright, Xiao Bao, go to sleep now. Goodnight.”

At dawn, the man next to him would be taken away by Jiang He, and the two would have nothing to do with each other.

With this in mind, Mei Shu closed his eyes in peace.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, a heavy arm suddenly attached to her waist.

Mei Shu instinctively turned toward Lu Si, patting his shoulder and half-asleep, she mumbled, “Xiao Bao, don’t play around. Go to sleep.”

“Sister, it’s so dark in here. Xiao Bao is scared. Can Sister hold Xiao Bao while you sleep?” Lu Si whispered close to her ear, enticing her with his warm breath, which brushed against her neck and shoulder.

Mei Shu was made a little itchy by him, and in her half-awake state, she completely lost the ability to think. She willingly tucked his head into her embrace and even generously patted his back, saying, “Alright, good boy, go to sleep now.”

With that, Mei Shu fell into a deep sleep.

But Lu Si wasn’t as fortunate.

His body stiffened, and he didn’t even dare to move his head.

The softness he felt against his cheek made him somewhat restless. However, the remaining shreds of his rationality were telling him that at this moment, he’d better not do anything. If Mei Shu were to discover it, she would hate him even more, and he would lose his last chance to get close to her.

But even with all his rationality, he couldn’t resist her chest rising and falling against his face.

He endured and endured, but ultimately couldn’t hold back. He gently moved his head, and his cheek swiftly brushed past that thrilling place. Before waking her up, he quickly adjusted to a relatively safe position, holding her contentedly in his arms.

All he wanted was a chance to meet her, and he refused to believe that Mei Shu’s heart was truly made of stone.

If she were ever to feel moved by a man in her lifetime, that man could only be him!

Sleeping with the person he loved, even in his dreams, was so sweet.

Unfortunately, the nighttime hours couldn’t fill the loneliness in his heart. Years of ingrained biological clock caused him to open his eyes promptly at 6 o’clock in the morning.

When he woke up, the young girl next to him was still asleep.

She was sleeping soundly, even her long, curly lashes had lost some of their sharpness from the daytime, becoming sweet and adorable.

He reluctantly woke her up.

Because he didn’t want to see that pair of clear eyes filled with disgust and hatred again.

Lu Si stared at Mei Shu like this for a while, until the girl in his arms blinked her long lashes and slowly opened her eyes.

Lu Si’s heart sank bit by bit.

“You’re awake,” Mei Shu’s face no longer showed the gentle smile but rather stated the fact expressionlessly.

Lu Si smiled wryly and withdrew his hand, which had been resting on her shoulder. He turned away and sat on the edge of the bed. After a while, he spoke in a casual tone, “Good morning. Thanks for your help last night.”

Mei Shu had already picked up her clothes and was heading to the bathroom when she heard this. She paused and said, “There’s a box of lollipops on the table. You can give them to Jiang He. In the future, when you have another episode, let him give you one..”
