After she had returned to her room, Gu Qingjiu’s mood wasn’t affected by her encounter with Yu Shiwei earlier.
The hotel staff delivered her dinner very quickly.
Watching television as she ate dinner, she was in a carefree mood.
After dinner, since He Niancheng said he had matters to attend to, the considerate Gu Qingjiu didn’t call him.
She played on her phone for a while, then entered the bathroom and took a shower before preparing to head to bed.
Just as she was sound asleep, she suddenly sensed a movement, jolting Gu Qingjiu awake from her deep slumber.
She was lying on the incredibly soft bed in her pajamas.
Tapping open the night light, she saw a tall and well-built figure enter.
Gu Qingjiu rubbed her eyes and greeted him, “Chief Instructor.”
“Mm, did I wake you?”
As it was at night, He Niancheng’s voice was intense and sounded gentle.
One’s heart could simply melt at hearing his voice.
He walked over and stroked Gu Qingjiu’s soft short hair, a glow over his deep-set facial features from the night light, making him look so ethereally handsome. It was as though he had walked out of a comic strip.
Since Gu Qingjiu’s eyes were narrowed, this scene dazzled her. With a silly grin on her face, she said, “Chief Instructor, you’re really, really good-looking.”
There was a saying on the Internet that was perfectly applicable in this situation: ‘One wouldn’t have the heart to argue with such a good-looking face.’
“Silly.”
Although he didn’t like to hear others describing him this way, coming from Gu Qingjiu, it worked pretty well on He Niancheng.
He caressed Gu Qingjiu’s fair and porcelain-smooth face that had a silk-like touch, so marvelous that he couldn’t bear to part from it. “Your exams just ended today. You should have a good rest and relax. I’ll go and take a shower.”
“Mm.”
Gu Qingjiu responded like a little kitten, then buried her face back into her pillow to continue sleeping.
He Niancheng let out a chuckle, then got up and unbuttoned his shirt with his slim and long fingers as he entered the bathroom.
Gu Qingjiu had no idea when she fell asleep again, only that she fell asleep with her mind at ease after she had sensed someone lay down next to her. The next day, when she woke up, she realized that the Chief Instructor was back-facing her. Not only was she sleeping hugging his waist, but she had her legs hooked around his legs like an octopus.
It was a position that made her feel a tad bashful. The instant Gu Qingjiu woke up, and she felt a shiver. With He Niancheng’s back facing her, she had no idea if he was awake or still sleeping. Cautiously she retracted her legs. However, when she moved, he flipped over and opened both eyes. C, he was in an extremely awake state.
It was evident that he had been awake for a long time.
“Morning…”
His voice didn’t sound very raspy, which meant that he did wake up early.
What she didn’t know was how long he had maintained that position.
Gu Qingjiu greeted him with a grin, “Morning, Chief Instructor.”
“Mm, do you wish to continue sleeping?”
He reached over with a hand and laid it over Gu Qingjiu’s face.
“Nope. What time is it now?”
Gu Qingjiu asked in a lazy tone, allowing his face to rest over her face.
“Eight.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Indeed, she had degenerated the moment the holidays started.
Usually, when in school, she would naturally wake up at six. Yet now, once the holidays started, her wake-up time automatically changed.
Gu Qingjiu got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to wash up.
He Niancheng entered after her, and Gu Qingjiu subconsciously helped him squeeze out the toothpaste.
As the two of them brushed their teeth, they gazed at each other through the mirror. And then, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help but smile.
