If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

Perhaps it was due to Su Qing's influence, or perhaps I was just too tired lately.

Qi Nan started to feel sleepy and doze off halfway through Xia Ningqi's lecture.

He was still nodding.

But my mind had already wandered off somewhere else.

"Qi Nan, you idiot."

Suddenly, Xia Ningqi cursed at him, but he still nodded subconsciously.

"Pfft."

Xia Ningqi couldn't help but laugh out loud, a bright smile on her face. This idiot actually nodded. What a big sleepyhead.

They did not try to wake Qi Nan.

Xia Ningqi simply rested her chin on her hand and quietly watched him "peck the rice".

I stared at it for a while.

Because she was worried that Qi Nan would catch a cold, she went to find a jacket and put it on his back when she got back.

At this moment, Qi Nan was completely asleep, his head resting on the table, fast asleep, unaware of Xia Ningqi's actions.

...

Qi Nan had a dream.

In his dream, he confessed his feelings to a girl he liked, but she felt he had been too hasty, saying that they didn't know each other well enough. She gave him a glimmer of hope, but also plunged him into endless internal conflict, like stepping into a bottomless black well and becoming a small fish in it, longing to one day leap over the dragon gate, or perhaps becoming a ridiculous two-faced turtle.

In his dream, Qi Nan, who had fallen into darkness, was suddenly startled awake.

He was panting heavily.

He calmed himself down a bit, then turned to look at Xia Ningqi beside him.

She was also lying on her side on the table, facing him. In other words, when he fell asleep, the two of them were basically facing each other and very close together.

"What's going on?"

Qi Nan's head was buzzing. He touched his cheek, which was slightly damp. Then he felt warmth coming from his back and reached out to pull it open, only to find it was a fleece jacket.

Is this the cover she put on for me?

Qi Nan had assumed that if he fell asleep, Xia Ningqi would roughly wake him up, but he hadn't expected her to care about him...

There was an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Qi Nan gazed at the girl's captivating profile.

Tranquil and beautiful.

I just don't know why she doesn't sleep in bed, but instead lies on the table like me.

Was it so as not to wake Su Qing?

This is probably the most likely reason, but isn't it a bit too unfair to oneself to spend the whole night lying on such a hard table? One's neck will definitely hurt when one gets up the next morning.

Qi Nan didn't think too much about it and draped his own coat over Xia Ningqi's back.

The cover was just put on.

Xia Ningqi slowly opened her eyes, looking sleepy.

"You...you're awake..."

"Hmm, sleeping on your stomach is quite pleasant."

Qi Nan clicked his tongue, indicating that he felt subtly insulted.

"You could have woken me up just now."

Xia Ningqi snorted coldly, "You're sleeping like a pig, how am I supposed to wake you? Who knows if you have a bad temper when you wake up?"

"All right..."

"Should we continue teaching now?"

Xia Ningqi yawned. "Alright, you've made me sleepy. Let's call it a day. We can leave the rest for tomorrow's class."

Qi Nan nodded in agreement.

"But why weren't you sleeping in bed just now?"

"Of course, I'm afraid of disturbing Xiao Qing..."

Xia Ningqi's eyes always wander when she lies, a habit she has never broken.

Qi Nan was somewhat puzzled.

He didn't know why Xia Ningqi was lying to him.

"So you're not going to be sleeping at your desk all night, are you?"

"Otherwise what?" Xia Ningqi glanced at Su Qing, who was sprawled out on the bed, "Look at her sleeping like that, does she look like she could squeeze in another person?"

"But you can't just lie on the table all the time, can you?"

Xia Ningqi teased, "What other choice do you have? Are you going to let me sleep in your bed?"

"Even if I let you sleep with me, you'd probably still complain, right?"

"You're so sure about that?"

Qi Nantian said innocently, "Sure, if you don't mind, you can sleep in my bed. I'm fine with sleeping on the floor."

"Okay, let's go then."

Xia Ningqi's quick agreement left Qi Nan at a loss.

He hurriedly got up.

"Xia Ningqi, have you thought this through? This means you'll be alone with me in a room, a man and a woman."

"Would you do something strange to me while I'm asleep?"

"I'm not that kind of person."

"That's settled then," Xia Ningqi said, stretching.

Qi Nan saw her exposed navel.

Not an ounce of excess fat.

Fair-skinned and slender.

It's as if you could just squeeze her into your arms.

She shyly looked away.

Xia Ningqi noticed this detail, a fleeting smile appearing on her lips. Then, she turned her back to Qi Nan, hands behind her back, and walked towards the apartment door in her clean white slippers.

"Remember to turn off the lights."

"good..."

Qi Nan was still a bit dazed, mainly because Xia Ningqi agreed so readily that he hadn't fully reacted yet.

I should have known better than to make such a boast...

Qi Nan took a breath of cool air and then followed him out of the room.

Xia Ningqi leaned against the railing, a gentle breeze ruffling her fine hair.

"What are you looking at? Use your key to open the door."

"oh..."

Qi Nan snapped out of his daze, took out his key, and prepared to open the door.

Her seemingly casual voice rang in my ears.

"The moon is so beautiful tonight."

"Indeed, it's probably because there aren't many dark clouds."

Qi Nan turned the lock and pushed the door open. "You can come in now."

Xia Ningqi didn't say much.

She entered the house in a flowing white dress.

Do you want some water? I'll go boil some for you.

"want."

After Xia Ningqi responded, she sat directly on Qi Nan's bed.

After boiling the water.

Qi Nan came out of the kitchen.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Qi Nan took a blanket out of the wardrobe.

This was only the second time he had used it. He remembered the last time was when Su Qing came.

Qi Nan knelt on the ground.

Lay the blanket out flat.

Xia Ningqi propped herself up on the bed with both hands, looking down at Qi Nan as he busied himself, her feet swinging back and forth, her slippers falling to the floor.

Speechless.

Qi Nan complained, "Could you please put your feet on the bed? I'm making the mattress right now."

"Your bed seems quite big."

"so what?"

"I feel like I could sleep two people in this room."

"Forget it, we'll get crushed."

Qi Nan didn't stop what he was doing, smoothing out each of the four corners of the mat.

Xia Ningqi frowned slightly.

"Isn't the floor hard?"

"It's alright, just lay two more layers and it will be enough."

As soon as Qi Nan finished speaking, he was kicked, catching him off guard, and he landed hard on the mat.

What are you doing?

"It's nothing, it was just subconscious," Xia Ningqi said, crossing her arms with a smug expression.
