Chapter 182

After wiping it dry, Jiang Chengyu withdrew his hand and said calmly: "Okay, go to sleep, close your eyes, and call when you wake up tomorrow."

After speaking, Jiang Chengyu turned around to leave, but felt his clothes being pulled.

"No, don't go." Bai Chuxiao swallowed, her voice trembling, "I'm afraid."

"Sleep when you're afraid."

"I can not sleep!"

Bai Chuxiao shook her head like a rattle, she refused to let Jiang Chengyu go no matter what.

In the past, when there was a power outage, she would hold Bai Linye tightly and never let go.

Bai Linye is well aware of this characteristic of his mother, so he is sure that Jiang Chengyu and Bai Chuxiao will stay in the same room tonight.

"The dignified young lady of the Bai family is so afraid of the dark?" Jiang Chengyu looked at Bai Chuxiao holding his hand tightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and teased, "If you're so scared, do you want me to accompany you later?" sleep?"

Forehead……

What the hell! Why did it suddenly fall asleep!

Bai Chuxiao, who was still immersed in panic just now, heard this, her cheeks became hot all of a sudden, and she jumped away... a small step.

"Use, no need!" Bai Chuxiao coughed lightly, and said righteously, "I just didn't adjust for a while, it's not as serious as you said!"

"Oh, really?" The flashlight in Jiang Chengyu's hand turned down and directly shone on Bai Chuxiao's hand, "Then why are you still holding on to my clothes?"

Even when Bai Chuxiao jumped away just now, she didn't let go, she just moved her feet a little bit away, but her hands were still tightly held.

Seeing the hand being publicly executed, Bai Chuxiao hesitated for a moment, loosened his fingers, and let go of Jiang Chengyu's clothes: "... Cough, I just forgot to let go, you go."

Jiang Chengyu looked at the calm look on Bai Chuxiao's face, hooked the corners of his lips, turned and left.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Walking to the fifth step, when he was about to walk out of the guest room, there was a sound of abnormally hurried footsteps behind him, and then his waist tightened, and a pair of small wristbands came up.

Hugging so tightly, Jiang Chengyu could even feel the trembling of the person behind him.

"Don't, don't, don't go." Bai Chuxiao swallowed, her voice trembling, she seemed to feel ashamed, and her voice was low, "I'm still a little scared, don't go yet... "

Jiang Chengyu was a little surprised.

Bai Chuxiao's fear of the dark far exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that Bai Chuxiao was simply afraid like some little girls, but looking at it now, it might be more than that.

Such a strong woman was forced to say that she was afraid, and even rushed up to hug him. Could it be that she has some psychological shadow?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengyu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I'm really scared, don't go." All of Bai Chuxiao's courage dissipated with the loss of light, and his complexion turned pale under the light of the flashlight.

"Then I'll wait here for you to fall asleep."

Jiang Chengyu took a chair from the side, sat down on it, and looked at Bai Chuxiao lightly: "Is this okay?"

Can.

With someone around, she felt much more at ease.

Bai Chuxiao slowly retracted into the bed, but her eyes were not closed at all, and her hands were still holding Jiang Chengyu's clothes, as if he was afraid that he would disappear in a second.

"I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere." Jiang Chengyu stroked his forehead, grabbed her little hand, and put it back under the quilt, "Sleep at ease."

However, he just put Bai Chuxiao's hand back, and within a second of letting go, he was grabbed by the wrist again.

"Cough, Jiang Chengyu." Bai Chuxiao's eyes wandered, and he said a little embarrassedly, "Do you want to come up and sleep with me?"

"oh?"

Jiang Chengyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you...inviting me?"

"No!" Bai Chuxiao subconsciously retorted loudly, and suddenly felt that something would be attracted by the loud noise in the middle of the night, so she lowered the volume and muttered, "I'm just afraid that it will be too hard for you to sit there and wait for me to fall asleep Yes, I let you go to bed out of kindness..."

In fact, this is just an excuse she made.

She made such a difficult decision because of fear.

Bai Chuxiao is indeed afraid of the dark, and even more afraid of power outages, especially before going to bed. The fear in her heart will be infinitely magnified. If she doesn't grab something, she won't be able to fall asleep at all.

In their posture just now, Bai Chuxiao's hands were exposed outside the bed, she really felt too insecure.

Anyway, she and Jiang Chengyu have shared the same bed several times, what's the big deal about letting him come up to sleep?

Hearing what she said, Jiang Chengyu raised his eyebrows, lifted the quilt and went directly to the other side of the bed. As soon as he lay down, he felt that Bai Chuxiao's grip on him loosened, and his whole body relaxed.

"Huh—that's fine." Bai Chuxiao let out a long breath, stretched his brows, and closed his eyes.

I can finally sleep...

I have to say that she felt much more at ease when Jiang Chengyu was such a master here.

However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard the man in front of her speak.

"Bai Chuxiao, why are you so afraid of the dark?" Jiang Chengyu put one hand under his head and said slowly, "Did anything happen before?"

Bai Chuxiao slowly opened his eyes, recalling what happened at that time, a kind of fear surfaced in his heart again.

Suddenly a long arm stretched out, and she approached the man's fiery chest, listening to the beating of his heart, the fear in her heart dissipated a little.

"If you don't want to say it, then you don't need to say it." Jiang Chengyu's voice was gentle, without any sense of impatience or complaint, "Go to sleep."

"...There is nothing that cannot be said."

I don't know if it's because of the atmosphere, or because the man in front of her reassures her too much, Bai Chuxiao is particularly eager to talk today.

"When I was young, I was actually very afraid of the dark and supernatural events." Bai Chuxiao let out a long breath and said, "But at that time, it was not as serious as it is now."

Although she was also afraid at that time, as long as there was a little light around her, she would feel at ease.

"but……"

Bai Chuxiao pursed her lips: "Some people locked me in the closet after they found out that I was particularly afraid of these things, and read horror stories to me outside. Several people took turns reading for hours."

Jiang Chengyu frowned fiercely!

She is the eldest granddaughter of the Bai family, how dare those people treat her like this?

A strong anger rose in Jiang Chengyu's heart. Could it be that Baixia didn't notice it for several hours?

How do the servants of the Bai family do things? They can't even protect their eldest lady?

Jiang Chengyu counted all the members of the Bai family from top to bottom in his heart, but he never thought that this incident did not happen in the Bai family, but in the orphanage.

Bai Chuxiao opened his eyes, recalling the situation that day, feeling terrible.

At that time, she was only three or four years old, and there was no light in the closet. She cried so hard that her voice was hoarse, and she covered her ears not to listen to those horror stories, but her hands couldn't completely block the sound, and she listened to it all close to her ears. up.

When the dean finally found him, Bai Chuxiao almost collapsed.
