Chapter 168 - The Hand on the Bed

Chapter 168 The Hand on the Bed

The next day of the live broadcast of Close Your Eyes before the Night Comes soon arrived. The summer vacation began and the plot of the book started unfolding.

Fang Yan and Tang Xia arrived early at the place they had appointed with Dabing, but found no one there. So Fang Yan said something with dissatisfaction.

Tang Xia had to admit that she was in a bad state. Her mind was wholly taken up with the scene of Ye Yifan and Li Xianxian passing her side by side and Li Xianxian’s unkind eyes.

She wondered if Ye Yifan really liked her. If he didn’t like her, his attitude toward her would be like that of an ordinary colleague. But if he did like her, he would not allow Li Xianxian to show off in front of her.

Her mind was in great confusion. She really wanted to go out to get things straight with Ye Yifan and ask him loudly if he liked her. She had originally become an anchor because of Prince Charming Ye Yifan.

But later on, she found that she really enjoyed this job. She hacked her way through difficulties and experienced numerous abuses, just to be able to stand alongside and get closer to him.

When her head was bursting in confusion, Fang Yan, who was next to her, put his arm around her and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you want to go?”

Tang Xia was stunned and pulled back her thoughts. She suddenly realized that she was still broadcasting live in the world of the novel. So she smiled in embarrassment.

“Well, I am just so happy because I didn’t expect to go with you.”

Although she knew that he was a complete love rat and it was a virtual world, she didn’t like him being too close to her and touching her at all.

Hiding the discomfort in her heart, she had to keep a fake smile on her face.

He couldn’t believe what she said, so he did a double-take. Then he held her tighter.

“I’d no idea you like being with me so much.”

As he spoke, he got close to Tang Xia. Just when he had almost kissed her on his lips, she pointed behind him with a cry of surprise.

“Here they are!”

Fang Yan frowned and had to release Tang Xia from his arms.

How disappointing!

Fang Yan looked back, then they saw Dabing arriving with two girls. One of the girls was petite and looked tender, cute, and timid.

The other was a queen bee, who was tall and slim with long hair and the prettiest face in school. Her gesture showed that she was a proud girl.

Tang Xia raised her eyebrows and recognized the latter as Song Sisi.

Fang Yan instantly changed his bad face and looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. “Sisi?”

The pretty girl was also stunned and surprised that she would meet Fang Yan here.

Fang Yan did nothing, but Tang Xia could feel that he was very excited and happy now.

Tang Xia didn’t know that the spectators and fans were updating the green conversations, which meant she was being cheated on…

“Why are you here?” Fang Yan finally asked.

Song Sisi was a little surprised but she didn’t change her expression noticeably. “That’s something I should be asking you. Why are you here?”

Dabing was also stunned. He immediately stood between them. “What’s up? Do you know each other?”

Song Sisi seemingly wanted to get away from Fang Yan. She said nothing coldly. While surprisingly, Fang Yan got close to her. “Yes. She is my first love.”

Song Sisi glanced at him with objection. “I was. Thanks.”

Dabing froze. He came with the girl purposefully. He thought Fang Yan already had a girlfriend, so he could have a good time with the girl. However, what the hell was with this guy fastening on the girl like a pug?

Dabing pulled Fang Yan away. “It’s over, so let’s get over it!”

Fang Yan was stunned and did not respond.

Dabing said to Fang Yan, “Zhang Yaoyao and Song Sisi came with me. You just need to take care of your darling Tang Xia.”

Fang Yan had forgotten that Tang Xia was here.

Tang Xia twitched her lips slightly. What an easily neglected real girlfriend she was!

Song Sisi looked Tang Xia up and down for a while. Then she suddenly sneered and said, “Let’s go, or we’ll miss the train.”

Fang Yan agreed with her and approached her at once. “Let me help with your luggage!”

Tang Xia couldn’t stand that anymore. “Fang Yan! Come and take your luggage!”

Song Sisi looked back at Tang Xia. Fang Yan turned a deaf ear to Tang Xia’s words as if he hadn’t heard them. And Song Sisi acquiesced him to take her luggage, then she turned back and smiled at Tang Xia.

Tang Xia twitched her eyes. Zhang Yaoyao walked over to her with a sweet smile.

“Please, let me help you.”

Tang Xia was moved inexplicably. Ah, it was this feeling that was abandoned by the love rat.

Tang Xia and Zhang Yaoyao took the luggage together. After all, it was hard for those girls to do that. Luckily, Dabing came over to help them with the luggage in time. On the contrary, Fang Yan was holding Song Sisi’s luggage beside her as if he had never seen a girl before.

Zhang Yaoyao looked at Fang Yan with contempt.

“Why do you like that guy?”

Tang Xia was stunned and suddenly speechless.

She didn’t know why either. This was what was in the novel. There was nothing she could do about it…

Along the way, Zhang Yaoyao accompanied her to comfort her by talking and laughing. Fang Yan surrounded Song Sisi like a fly, and it was inexplicably harmonious.

Eventually, they arrived at the railway station with packs of luggage.

Throughout, Song Sisi did nothing. On the contrary, Tang Xia and Zhang Yaoyao were half-dead with exhaustion. Looking at the backs of Fang Yan and Song Sisi, she inexplicably felt that they were like Ye Yifan and Li Xianxian very much, and she was always an outsider.

Tang Xia took a deep breath, shook her head, and tried to put those thoughts aside. Suddenly feeling cold behind her, she turned back without warning.

Zhang Yaoyao felt strange when she saw Tang Xia’s actions.

“What’s up? Xiaxia?”

Behind her were the crowd and noise in the railway station. “What happened? Was it really my illusion? Obviously, there was a dark and inexplicable familiarity.”

“Xiaxia, what’s up? Is there anything behind you?” Zhang Yaoyao saw that Tang Xia did not respond and kept looking behind her, so she raised her hand and shook it in front of Tang Xia’s face.

Tang Xia returned to her senses. Looking at Zhang Yaoyao’s anxious face, she immediately hid her expression and said with a smile, “No. Suddenly something occurred to me.”

Zhang Yaoyao looked at her incredulously and muttered, “What makes you so nervous?”

Tang Xia laughed embarrassingly. She didn’t want to be regarded as a psychopath due to her terrible suspicions, even in the virtual world.

“Come on. The tickets are being checked.”

Tang Xia perfunctorily pulled Zhang Yaoyao to line up to get on the train to Longshan County.

They got on the train and put away the luggage. Dabing, Fang Yan, and Song Sisi sat in the three seats in a row. Tang Xia and Zhang Yaoyao were sitting opposite them.

Fang Yan looked at Song Sisi and helped her open a water bottle, then asked her, “How have you been recently?”

Tang Xia almost spat out a sip of soda water. Couldn’t he use other words to start up a conversation?

Song Sisi took the water indifferently. “Not bad.”

“Song Sisi doesn’t want to talk with you at all!”

“Do… do you have a boyfriend now?”

Zhang Yaoyao, who was next to Tang Xia, couldn’t stand it anymore. She got up and said, “What does it matter to you whether she has a boyfriend or not? Your girlfriend is still here!”

Fang Yan was shocked by her voice and suddenly noticed Tang Xia.

“It’s just old friends reminiscing.”

“Are you calling this reminiscing?” Zhang Yaoyao said that in her heart. And Tang Xia didn’t care about that love rat at all.

Seeing that Tang Xia, who was the real girlfriend, say nothing, Zhang Yaoyao had no reason to say more. It was a little awkward. Upon seeing that, Tang Xia took Zhang Yaoyao’s hand, laughed, and chatted with her.

Thanks to Tang Xia’s solution, it became very relaxed. Song Sisi was just an indifferent onlooker. It was none of her business. She was used to seeing these men please her. It was these men who were cheap themselves. So it had nothing to do with her.

Dabing couldn’t say anything either and just focused on the snacks. After all, he knew Fang Yan’s character very well. Fang Yan didn’t care about his own matter, let alone anyone who was an outsider.

Fang Yan was very satisfied with Tang Xia’s reaction. He thought she was very sensible, so he continued to ask Song Sisi all sorts of questions. Song Sisi just answered perfunctorily with “um” or “ah”, etc.

“Is your name Zhang Yaoyao?”

Zhang Yaoyao nodded and wondered why Tang Xia was so generous. “Yes.”

“What a nice name! You are worthy of the name which means petite and tender.”

“Why don’t you worry about your boyfriend who is still getting involved with his first love?”

He didn’t reply with the same “generosity”. Was that still true in this day and age?

Tang Xia’s eyes twitched. What should she say? It was for the plot. And there was nothing she could do about the plot progress.

“They are just talking about the old days. It’s okay.”

Then Zhang Yaoyao suddenly pulled her nervously and said, “Don’t think like that. You’ll suffer a lot if you let your boyfriend be free!”

Tang Xia could only comfort her by saying that it couldn’t or wouldn’t be like that.

Upon entering the sleeper compartment of the train, Fang Yan nodded with satisfaction. It was clean. Zhang Yaoyao pulled Tang Xia’s arm tightly. Tang Xia was puzzled. Was this little girl afraid of the dark?

It was true that girls were timid. After Fang Yan turned on the lights, everyone began to unpack. They all stayed in the same carriage. The beds were divided into upper, middle, and lower berths, which was supposed to be the original way. So they were not bothered to worry about that.

Zhang Yaoyao and Tang Xia made the beds and the others unpacked the luggage and so on.

Thinking of Zhang Yaoyao’s reaction just now, Tang Xia said with a smile, “You are afraid of the dark.”

Zhang Yaoyao broke out immediately and bowed her head shyly.

“Actually… I’m here just because I wanted to be braver…”

At this moment, a hand suddenly fell over Zhang Yaoyao’s head, and red blood dripped on her forehead. Zhang Yaoyao was so scared that she jumped up screaming.

“Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!!!!”

Tang Xia was also scared and she stood up suddenly. Zhang Yaoyao rubbed her forehead roughly as she remembered the sticky and cold touch. Then she immediately hid in Tang Xia’s arms and cried.

“Hahahahahahahahahaha…”

Tang Xia was stunned and Zhang Yaoyao opened her eyes suddenly. They saw Dabing project his head and say with a smile, “You insist on following us. Look at yourself!”
