Chapter 28.5: I want to marry you tomorrow
The old recliner although is very wide, but it is inconvenient for her feet. It is uncomfortably to lie on it. Any gentle movement will issue a squeak sound. So she dare not move, and her body becomes stiff. Soon, she felt like her waist is broken. For a long time, she could not feel any sleepiness. Soon, she saw a little light coming through the gap of the curtain. She found Zheng Xie deep in sleep, half of his bed empty.
He He wrapped herself with the quilt and roll into a cylinder. She move to the bed and fell slowly onto the half empty side of Zheng Xie’s bed.
She is very quiet and careful hence did not even touch Zheng Xie. But he seems to be alert as he sat up and at the same time, the reading lights lighted up.
“Xiao He He, what do you want to?” Zheng Xie asked with a thick nasal voice.
“Sleepwalking. I was sleepwalking.” She did not expect him to sleep so lightly and with great embarra.s.sment, lying flat on the bed, with half closed eyes. Subsequently she issued light breathing while pretending to sleep. But she flet tha Zheng Xie had been leaning against the bed, no longer lie down with the light still on.
“He He.” Zheng Xie sounds exceptionally husky above her. She did not dare to open her eyes and lay down motionless. After a long while, Zheng Xie said: “I know that you are not asleep. Think about my proposal, to go abroad to study for 1 or 2 years. When you come back, we will get married.”
Xiao He He opened her eyes and looked at the direction of Zheng Xie. But although he had the desk light switched on, but he was hidden in the back light. She could see the outline but could not see his expression but only see that he was looking at her.
The light just happen to s.h.i.+ne on He He’s face. And he was glancing at her. He He guess that her own facial expression must be very dull.
She s.h.i.+fted her position, trying to get out of the light range but without any success. Zheng Xie discover her motives, and slightly adjusted the lighting direction. After the lights were s.h.i.+fted, the environment become less intense. He He asked: “Two hours ago, you were ignoring me. Now you actually said you want to marry me. Are you fully awake?”
“I don’t want to get you into the middle of the mess and incriminate you wrongly while letting Auntie Lin loses any face. So I needed a little time to resolve the situation while also need time for everyone to forget about what happen. He He, I thought you can understand.”
“How come you don’t ask if I am willing to marry you?” He He gain her courage and asked. She felt that lying there with Zheng Xie is uncomfortable so she squirm to sit up while still being wrapped around with the quilt. Later, she found that sitting side by side with him is more ambiguous, so she lay back down into the coc.o.o.n-like laying.
In her toss and turn period, Zheng Xie kept quiet. Until she lay down again, he said: “You had taken the initiative to climb into my bed, so I thought you would not object.”
“When I was younger, I often sleep in your bed.” He He then refute. She found these words with different implication, so her face started to heat up.
As a child, she did often sleep in his bed. She often ran out from her room at midnight and squeeze into his bed. Once he locked the door. At the entrance, He He silently cried outside of his door. Don’t know how he heard, he finally opened the door to let her enter.
He He has a bad sleeping habit. She often sleep in a rough way, with her feet pressing onto Zheng Xie’s stomach, her head arch under his armpit. So he would often took the advantage of her sleeping, and using the quilt, wrapper her tightly into an infant state. This caused her not being able to move. Later, it became her habit, sleep with the quilt wrapped around her body into a tubular shape, just like a big fruit pancake.
