Chapter 164 - Ism Your Man (1/2)

When Ye Jie stepped inside the bedroom, a sour reality was anticipating his entrance.

There she stood right beside the bed with a broad grin which appeared fake with her hands over her hips. Of course, it wasn't her stance or the smile that made his jaw drop, it was, in fact, the partition of pillows on the bed.

He gave one look to the pillows separating the bed which left even space on both sides and then glanced at Xu Mey with probing eyes.

"Ah Jie," her voice appeared to be dribbling with nectar for some dreadful reason. "Tonight, you're sleeping on that side," she pointed towards the left side of the bed and went on, "And I'll sleep on this side of the bed."

Ye Jie gulped visibly and took a step closer to Xu Mey who in turn took a step back and lifted her hands in guard, "No touching tonight, Ah Jie." She waggled her finger to accentuate her point.

"Baby, what are you talking about?" Ye Jie was really lost for words. What did he do to deserve this treatment? She was fine just a while ago. So, what changed in a moment?

"Didn't I tell you that I'll show you how much I missed you today?" Ye Jie nodded his head. "This is exactly how I'll show you."

She turned to sit on the bed and suddenly remembered, "Ah, remember! No touching even when we are sleeping!"

"What?" Ye Jie couldn't believe that this was befalling on him. It was like being sentenced without even grasping the ground.

He tried to walk closer to her but she again halted him with her hand and said, "Shoo! Don't come closer or I'll make you sleep outside and that too for the entire week."

That threat seemed to work better since Ye Jie backed off instantly and walked over to his own side of the bed.

In the dim light, laying on his back with his arm under his head, he could hear her calm breathing but he knew that she wasn't sleeping. It was past midnight and he still couldn't catch a wink of sleep. "Baby!" He called softly.

"Hmm..." He heard.

"Can't I just hold your hand?" He used the pitiful voice and it seemed to have stirred something in Xu Mey for a moment before she shook her head.

'Don't fall for his act?' She reminded herself and replied, "Nope!"

Ye Jie groaned and tossed around for a while before sitting back up. "Baby, if I won't hold you then I really can't fall asleep."

Xu Mey turned her back towards him and said, "You could sleep before I came into your life. Certainly, you can do that again."

"Before you came to my life, I didn't know what heaven tasted like. But now, I've gotten the taste of it which makes it hard to live without it. Don't deprive me of holding you. Or at least tell me, what the hell have I done wrong?" Ye Jie was exasperated. It was true that he could easily sleep alone before she barged into his life but in the past month, he got so used to her presence that it was really hard to sleep without her body snuggled up closer to him.

Xu Mey sat up cross-legged on the bed and picked a pillow to place over her legs. With her face supported by her palm which was propped on the pillow, she said, "You don't know what you did wrong?"
