"Big Brother Yi, it's better if I sleep on this bed. You saw it just now, it's just right for me to lie on it." Xu Ran walked to the bed beside Guan Jingyi.
Shangguan Jingyi said: "Then who fell off such a big bed last time, and even injured the waist, and couldn't get out of the bed for a month?"
At that time, Guan Jingyi was still sleeping on the floor. When he heard the sound of night lights turning on in the middle of the night, he realized that she was also snoring on the floor after turning on the night light. Guan Jingyi didn't care at the time, so he carried Xu Ran back to the bed. But on the second day, when Xu Ran woke up, she found that she couldn't move her waist anymore.
Xu Ran could not hide the embarrassment on her face. She clenched her fists and punched him. The tips of her fingers just happened to pass through the bulging muscles beneath the open hem of his bathrobe.
The temperature was rather scorching.
"Annoyed?" Shangguan Jingyi smiled.
"I'm not that stingy." While speaking, Xu Ran turned around and climbed onto the bed made of kingsize.
Lying on his back with his limbs facing the sky, just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Guan Jingyi calling his name, "An?"
Xu Ran mumbled something in a daze.
"Can you tell me why you're dancing in a bar?"
Guan Jingyi did not receive a response. It was unknown whether Xu Ran had fallen asleep or if he did not want to say it.
In the middle of the night, Xu Ran felt a little thirsty and groggily got off the bed to find some water to drink. The kettle in the bedroom was out of water, so Xu Ran couldn't be bothered to go downstairs to get more water. Instead, he climbed back onto the bed and habitually glanced to his side.
Xu Ran's dream had awoken more than half.
It was already so late, where did the official Jing Yi go? Xu Ran only thought about it, and didn't plan to go find him. On the contrary, she was getting more and more thirsty. He then got out of bed, took out a kettle and went downstairs to get some water.
The long corridor was quiet, except for the faint glow of the lamps. They were not very bright, and at the end of the corridor, there was a small gap in the study where a dazzling light could be seen.
Originally, Xu Ran didn't want to find him, nor did he want to find him. However, Xu Ran still somehow walked to the door of the study.
After pacing back and forth outside of the door a few times, or perhaps it was more than a dozen times, Xu Ran had not mustered the courage to knock at all.
Just as he was about to leave, the door to the study was opened by a person inside. Shangguan Jingyi was wearing a dark blue silk pajamas. Although his hair wasn't as meticulous as it was during the day, it wasn't messy.
"Brother Yi, you haven't slept yet?" she asked. Worried that he might misunderstand, he raised the kettle in his hand and added, "I was just going downstairs to get some water, and I happened to see the light in the study, so I came to take a look."
Xu Ran turned to leave.
Shangguan Jingyi's voice resounded in his ears: "Come in and take a seat."
The door to the study room was slightly ajar. The man who was originally standing by the door had already walked in. Xu Ran stood at the door, biting her lips. She still entered.
There was a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table, and one of them was still burning. Although Shangguan Jingyi had a lot of social contacts, he didn't smoke much unless he was particularly troubled by something.
"Brother Yi, is there something troubling you?" Xu Ran sat across the table, just like the last time.
"Xue Xu, she doesn't understand me." As he spoke, Guan Jingyi took out another cigarette from the pack and held it to his lips. He played with Zippo, but he didn't light the cigarette.
This was the consideration of an official. Even if it was such a small matter as smoking, he would still worry about the people around him.
Xu Ran lowered her head. She did not know what to say, nor did she want to say anything. Her status was very awkward and she didn't know whether to comfort Guan Jingyi or advise her sister.
