When Yi Zheng reached her, Shi Man was waiting for him in the car. Seeing her angry and dirty face, Yi Zheng’s eyes were filled with heartache. “I’ll bring you home to wash up first. Have a good sleep. Then we’ll do something else, okay?” Shi Man sighed. She was indeed a little tired after working so hard. She nodded and said, “Alright, this place is close to your house. Let’s go to your house.” “Okay.” Yi Zheng didn’t say anything else. He drove her home and asked the butler to arrange a guest room for her. He also returned to his room to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and lay down.
However, when he closed his eyes, Yi Zheng could not fall asleep no matter what. His mind was filled with Shi Man’s pitiful appearance of exhaustion, and his heart ached.
The more he wanted to sleep, the harder it was to fall asleep. Yi Zheng simply got up and walked to the guest room door. After hesitating for a while, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
Initially, he did not have much hope that Shi Man would open the door for him, but he did not expect the door to be opened from the inside in a second.
Shi Man had just taken a shower, and her hair was dripping wet. She was wearing his shirt, and it was so long that it reached between her legs, making her skin look even fairer than snow.
He looked away as if he had been electrocuted and muttered with an extremely unnatural expression, “Why didn’t you ask the butler to bring you a suitable outfit?”
“Does your family have one?” Shi Man looked at him as if he was a fool. She leaned against the door frame and asked lazily as she dried her hair, “What’s the matter?”
Yi Zheng swallowed and said in a hoarse voice, “I… I’ll help you dry your hair. You must be very tired. Your arm must be sore from helping save people yesterday, right?”
“Yes, a little.” She saw his shy expression and suddenly wanted to tease him. She threw the towel into his arms. “Come in and dry my hair.”
“Okay.” Yi Zheng didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. He walked into the room with a towel and dried her hair obediently. He didn’t dare to touch anything else. He didn’t even accidentally touch her neck.
Shi Man was amused. She knew that he was respecting her. At this moment, he probably did not even dare to look around. She immediately felt that this man was quite interesting. She suddenly turned around with a wicked smile and saw that his eyes were tightly closed, and his fingers were trembling as he held her hair.
“Yi Zheng,” she called out to him softly.
Only then did Yi Zheng open his eyes. He was caught off guard and saw the looked at the area near her collarbone. He looked away at a loss and said, “What’s wrong? Did 1 hurt you?”
“No.” She gently pulled her hair which was no longer dripping water out of his hand. She lifted the blanket and lay on the bed. She patted the empty bed beside her and said, “Sleep here. We still have to go to the event location later. Don’t waste time.”
Yi Zheng was shocked. He looked at Shi Man’s alluring outfit in disbelief. He pursed his lips and stood up. “No, I’ll go back to my room. Have a good rest.” “Yi Zheng.” Shi Man called out to him indifferently and said expressionlessly, “Come here. I’ll only say it once.”
Yi Zheng hesitated again and again, but he did not want to anger her. He obediently lay down beside her, but his hands and feet were tense, as if he was afraid of touching her.
Shi Man sneered and curled her lips. She could not help but mock, “Why are you suddenly so timid? I didn’t expect you to have such an innocent side.”
Yi Zheng suddenly turned his head and glared at her. His voice was filled with suppression and forbearance. “Manman, you’re very tired today. 1 don’t want to do anything to hurt you. Hurry up and sleep. Be good.”
Shi Man smiled nonchalantly and changed into a comfortable position to lie down. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
However, the person lying beside her clearly did not have such a good sleep. He had been tossing and turning in his room just now. Now that he was on Shi Man’s bed, his sleepiness instantly disappeared.
He did not dare to make too much noise and wake up the sleeping girl beside him. He could only carefully turn over and face her sleeping face. His eyes were filled with gentleness and love that even he did not know.
Listening to the gradually long breathing beside him, Yi Zheng felt unprecedentedly at ease. He tentatively reached out and pulled her into his arms. His movements were extremely light. When she was completely pulled into his arms, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
The warm and soft body in his arms gradually transmitted warmth to him. Sleepiness gradually squeezed into his mind. Yi Zheng closed his eyes and sniffed the fragrance of the girl in front of him. This time, he finally fell asleep.
After he completely fell asleep, the girl in his arms who was still sleeping gently curled the corners of her lips. Then, she moved her body slightly and found a more comfortable position to continue sleeping.
It was not until sunset that the two of them woke up from their sleep.
Yi Long and Lu Xiang had already returned, but when they heard that their son had brought Shi Man home, they quickly left the house and went to their friend’s house to freeload, giving them some space.
When Yi Zheng woke up, Shi Man happened to have just opened her eyes. He suddenly realized that he was still hugging her. He quickly looked away uncomfortably and argued awkwardly, “I don’t know how we got together. I’m sorry..”
