Xiao Tian and Xi Ran were chatting in the abandoned house. The feeling of fear within her had been replaced with happiness and serenity.
Sure, they were alone in the forest, but she felt at ease because he was next to her. He was with her, holding her hands and giving her a comfortable feeling.
She even thought that staying the night in the abandoned house was not a disaster but a blessing in disguise.
After all, she had not felt calm and comfortable in a long time. It was as if he was her soulmate.
"Xiao Tian, let's sleep." It was already 10:10 pm, so she was sleepy.
"You can sleep first." He was still not sleepy, so he wanted to keep watching over the fire pit.
"Alright." After saying that, she lay on the bamboo bed.
The bed was close to the fire pit, so she did not feel cold because he kept the fire burning.
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 10:45 pm. Xiao Tian's face broke into a smile when he saw her sleeping face.
He was happy when he saw her sleeping soundly because they were in the forest.
'I will sleep too.'
He put all the firewood into the fire pit and turned on his flashlight so the room would not get dark later.
He did not sleep on the bamboo bed and only leaned his back against the bed. Sure, they had done adult things once, but their current status was only friends.
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 02:00 am. At this moment, the fire was already dead, and only the burning charcoal remained.
Xiao Tian began to feel cold because the chill wind entered the house through the holes. He also gave his jacket to Xi Ran, so he only wore his T-shirt.
Due to how cold it was, he woke up shortly after that.
'It's cold.'
He was wrapping his arms around himself.
At the same time, Xi Ran woke up. "Xiao Tian, you are still awake?"
She did not know that he was asleep earlier. She thought he kept watching over the fire pit all this time.
He turned his head to look at her. "Lady Xi?"
When she saw him wrapping his arms around himself, she knew he was feeling cold. "Xiao Tian, come here. Sleep on the bed with me."
She immediately took off Xiao Tian's jacket on her body.
Her intention was clear.
She wanted to use the jacket to cover their bodies!
In other words, she wanted to use his jacket as a blanket for them.
His jacket was quite big. As long as they lay close to each other, they could use his jacket to cover their bodies.
When he did not say anything and only stared at her, Xi Ran got out of bed and squatted down in front of him.
"Let's sleep together on the bed." Her eyes widened for a second when she held his hands.
'His hands are cold.'
She suddenly felt like a bad lady.
He went to the forest to find her, and when they stayed the night at the abandoned house, he endured the cold while she slept comfortably.
"Really?" he did not reject the offer, but he also did not accept it immediately.
"You don't need to pretend to be a gentleman now because in my eyes, you are already a gentleman." She wanted him to sleep on the bed with her because she did not want him to get sick. "Let's sleep on the bed now."
She was not lying when she said this. Even though her mother and Leng Nichang kept saying he was a pervert, but he was a good young man in her eyes.
And his value grew higher when he found her earlier, to the point a special feeling blossomed in her heart.
"Alright." He agreed after hearing her words.
Even though it was only a bamboo bed and a wooden pillow, but the duo did not complain; instead, they felt grateful because they had a bed and pillow.
As they lay on the bamboo bed, Xi Ran did something shocking to him.
She grabbed his waist and turned his body to face her!
Not only that, but she also intertwined her legs with his and wrapped her left arm around his body.
She was not trying to seduce him.
She did this because she wanted to warm his body.
He had saved her a few times until now, and he also felt cold because of her, so she wanted to use her body to warm him.
"We can reduce the cold air if we sleep like this." She did not feel shy even though she was hugging a young man who was not her boyfriend or husband.
She was even delighted because she could use her body to warm his body because she did not want him to get sick.
Xiao Tian was stunned.
He was shocked because he did not expect her to do something like that.
He could even feel her body because their bodies pressed against each other. "Lady Xi…"
He did not know what to say.
Of course, he did not have a dirty mind.
He was just shocked by her sudden actions and their sleeping positions.
Yes, they were lying sideways, facing each other!
"What's wrong?" even though the distance between their faces was very close, she behaved normally.
The duo was looking at each other, so they could feel each other's breath. They even could smell the fragrance of their bodies.
"Aren't we too close?" he inquired.
She did not answer his question immediately; instead, she positioned her body so that they could sleep comfortably.
She was currently lying sideways with her face facing his neck.
Yes, she lowered her sleeping position earlier!
She did this because she wanted them to be able to warm each other.
"Xiao Tian, put your hands on me. Let's sleep while hugging each other." She embraced him after saying that.
Due to how close they were, his chin even touched her hair, allowing him to smell her hair.
'Isn't she afraid I might do something to her?'
His lips would touch her forehead if he lowered his head.
Yes, he could kiss her forehead if he lowered his head!
This was the reason why he was shocked because he was sure she knew about this too.
"You will feel cold again if you don't do what I say." After saying that, she placed his right hand on her body, telling him to embrace her.
He did what he was told.
He placed his right hand on her body before finally pulling her closer to him.
"Good night, Xiao Tian." She uttered.
"Good night, lady Xi." He responded.
Shortly after that, they fell asleep.
Mystically, they did not feel cold anymore, even though the wind kept entering the abandoned house.
They even felt they were sleeping in a huge, comfortable room. This was the reason why they could sleep soundly.
At the same time, Xi Xingyi was still awake. Even though she was tired and sleepy, but her body refused to sleep.
Her mind was in a mess because she was worried about her daughter's safety. She was afraid that something bad had happened to her beloved daughter.
'God, please protect my daughter and boyfriend.'
