Chapter 372 - Sleep Soundly, My Love (1/2)
Linfeng took a long time in the bathroom. Fortunately, there was a small bathroom cabinet containing clean towels and cotton home clothes inside, so he had clean clothes to wear. When he went out, Xiong Zhi was already preparing their dinner in the kitchen.
Seeing his Young Miss's back busily preparing food, his tensed face immediately softened. He walked towards her and was about to hug her from behind when he suddenly remembered what he had done earlier.
Oh, god. Those embarrassing moments. Especially the finale, where his—ahem—was seen by her. Ugh, shame on himself!
His face reddened slightly and he sighed.
Xiong Zhi felt his presence and turned back. Her eyes roved over him from top to bottom.
The tall and handsome man had wet hair. Few drops of water fell onto the collar of his long sleeve cotton pajamas, which she had prepared in advance. He looked casual, homely, and rather lazily s.e.xy.
But Xiong Zhi's eyes did not stop at that and traveled downwards. The e.r.o.t.i.c scene happened just a few moments ago and Xiong Zhi's memory overlapped the images in front of her.
She felt slightly disappointed. Too bad it was not standing up right now.
”...” Linfeng almost jumped when her eyes fell there.
Where are you looking at, Young Miss?
Fortunately, Xiong Zhi turned around and took out a bowl from the microwave. The savory fragrance of food spread inside the kitchen and reached Linfeng's nostrils, distracting him. His eyes lit up. His Young Miss was cooking for him again!
”Oh, what's for dinner?”
He happily glanced at the dishes with enthusiasm. He paused a bit after seeing that most of the steaming food that was prepared on the counter were all refrigerated from earlier and was just being re-heated.
Xiong Zhi glanced at Linfeng and became a bit embarrassed. ”I just reheated the food. I don't really have much time, it will be too late for dinner if I started cooking at this time again.”
Linfeng's heart turned mushy. His Young Miss was doing her best to feed him. How could he complain?
”Why, as long as it passed through Zhi'er's hand, it will surely taste great.”
”Flattery won't make it more delicious, you know. I am almost done. Just wait a bit.”
Linfeng chuckled, grateful that the awkward air was lessened a bit and that she was still so caring after what he had done to her.
Even if she just ordered takeout for them, he would still be very happy.
He could not help it anymore so he bent down and kissed his Young Miss's head. ”Thank you for preparing the food.”
The beautiful young woman smiled up at him warmly.
He helped to prepare the table and took out the plates, chopsticks, and glasses from the cupboard. Then he took a pitcher of water from the refrigerator and placed it on the table as well.
These actions were smooth, as if they were a young married couple who have been living together in the same house for some time.
The couple ate in awkward silence at first, a bit shy from the earlier events, but after opening up a few topics, the atmosphere between them became more and more comfortable with each passing time.
”...I bought some souvenirs with me from a few countries abroad. I remember you said you like this spice from New Zealand? Last time I went there to check a project, I bought it...”
”That's great, I really like the scent. I wanted to know if the natively cultivated ones smell better...”
No one had mention of what happened on the couch earlier.
****
The stars had already filled up the sky and the moon softly glowed in luminescence.
Linfeng paced back and forth inside the master's bedroom as the sound of shower inside the bathroom continued to run faintly.
His mind was warning him of danger signs.
This was it.
This rest house was renovated to have one master's bedroom. He checked on the guest rooms but those rooms were empty. There was even no mattress on the wooden beds at all.
He planned to sleep on the couch downstairs. But his Young Miss told him that they should just sleep together since the bed was big.
He glanced at the bed. Yes, it was indeed really big. It could practically fill ten people.
But the problem was on himself. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself when his Young Miss's soft body, who happened to be his girlfriend, was just beside him and end up doing something outrageous.
What should he do if he suddenly wanted to exercise his boyfriend rights?
In this room, just the two of them alone...
Should he pretend sleeping?
After a long time, he finally sighed. It was useless thinking about this. Just go to bed, recite the communist ideals of the country, and hope that sleep would befall him.
He decided to take the farthest corner of the bed from the bathroom. He did not forget to prepare Xiong Zhi's nightgown first and put it on the bed. Afterwards, he immediately walked to the other side of the bed, laid down, and dove into the blankets.
He needed to sleep. He tried to hypnotize himself.
Please, little brother, you must fall asleep.
Some time later, the door opened from the bathroom. The steamy warmth from inside leaked into the bedroom, carrying a feminine fragrance in the air.
Xiong Zhi took a deep breath, looked down at her body, and opened the robe a bit wider on her upper chest to show her generous cleavage. Then she tied the robes loosely and adjusted the fabric so that the slit opening of her robes would expose her smooth white legs.
