56 Working With Gu Yechen (2/2)

'Gu Yechen picked up a remote and the large full-length window behind the bed was covered with a grey shade so one couldn't see inside and the people inside also couldn't see out.'

'He lifted the black blanket up and carefully set He Xinyan down onto the soft mattress. He Xinyan rolled around on the bed and continued to sleep.'

'Gu Yechen smiled and kissed He Xinyan on the forehead before he entered the large restroom to get ready for bed.'

'A few minutes later

he came out in a set of black silk pajamas and sat down on the bed. He sat still for a few seconds before he stood up again and walked out of the room.'

'In his office

he looked around and found He Xinyan's phone. He walked back to the bedroom and used He Xinyan's finger to unlock the phone.'

'In the messages app

Gu Yechen found He Xinyan's dad

who was saved as 'Bai Jiawei'

and messaged him.'

''Dad

I will be staying at Minger's house tonight. I will be back tomorrow morning. Good night.''

'He didn't want to make Xinyan's life more complicated

and this was the best excuse for why she won't be home tonight. After sending the message

Gu Yechen walked back to the other side of the bed and crawled in.'

'With He Xinyan inside his embrace

he quickly fell asleep.'

'---'

'The next morning

He Xinyan woke up way later than she was used to because the sunlight didn't enter the bedroom. The room was still dark at 9:47 A.M. when she woke up

and after blinking her eyes a few times

she stared at the black ceiling on top of her.'

'Why were the walls black?'

'He Xinyan closed her eyes and opened them again

slowly turning to the side.'

'”Ah

” He Xinyan exclaimed when she saw Gu Yechen

waking him up.'

'”Good morning

baby

” Gu Yechen said as he slowly opened his eyes.'

'”This is your room?”'

'Gu Yechen nodded his head and moved in closer to He Xinyan as he closed his eyes again

preparing to continue sleeping.'

'However

He Xinyan quickly sat up and looked around the room filled with masculine colors and decorations

”Oh no

I didn't go home yesterday night.”'

'”I texted your dad for you already.”'

'He Xinyan turned around and saw Gu Yechen looking at her with his head casually resting on his arms

”Oh

you did? Good. . .”'

'Gu Yechen pulled He Xinyan back down and pulled her head onto his chest

”Sleep.”'

'”What? It's almost 10 already.”'

'Gu Yechen frowned slightly before hesitantly opening his eyes

”Okay. . . Are you hungry? I'll go make breakfast.”'

'He Xinyan quickly stopped him

”I can! I'll go make omelette rolls!”'

'Gu Yechen was about to say no

but after some thought

he smiled

”Okay.”'
