Wei Wucai gnashed his teeth and said, “Can you let go first?”

“Eh?” Yan Zhiqing still seemed slightly confused. She didn’t realize what was going on.

She saw Wei Wucai looking down.

Yan Zhiqing looked down as well.

Boom!

Yan Zhiqing felt as though her brain had exploded.

Yan Zhiqing jumped up.

It could have been due to the high fever she had yesterday.

Although her fever went away, she was still affected by it. Her muscles ached, and she didn’t have much strength.

She had bounced up too quickly and too forcefully.

Because she had just sat up, her head ached, and she started to black out.

Her body fell forward.

Wei Wucai really was not in a position to move.

And so, he wasn’t able to help Yan Zhiqing in time.

Of course, even if he’d managed to help her, it honestly wouldn’t have made a difference.

Because Yan Zhiqing fell directly onto his chest.

She hit his chest forcefully.

It did hurt.

But this pain felt so good and sweet.

“How are you? Are you alright?” Wei Wucai still wasn’t able to move freely. However, because he cared about her, he still started nagging her.

“You had a fever yesterday. You don’t have much strength, and you only had porridge last night. It’s normal to not have any energy now,” Wei Wucai said. “How can you be so careless as to make such big movements?”

Wei Wucai nagged while supporting her shoulder.

Of course, if Yan Zhiqing wasn’t in his arms, it would not have been so awkward.

But now, the two were in such an intimate position.

Yan Zhiqing’s face reddened as she sat up quickly.

However, this time, she was careful and didn’t make any big movements.

“I… You… How did we…” Yan Zhiqing’s face was flushed.

Especially when she thought of how it had been earlier… and his reaction…

She thought he was gay!

Why did he have such a big reaction!

With a complicated and strained expression, Wei Wucai said, “You do remember asking me to tell you stories about my days at the Mount Lan Compound, right?”

Yan Zhiqing nodded. But she still felt uncomfortable and didn’t dare to look at Wei Wucai.

If she didn’t know that he was gay, she would not have been able to stay on the same bed while listening to his explanation.

However, what did telling her stories about his life at the Mount Lan Compound have to do with them sleeping while hugging?

He obviously could tell that Yan Zhiqing was confused.

Wei Wucai thus said, “Last night, you fell asleep while I was telling you the stories. I was just about to stand up and go back to sleep on the sofa when you suddenly wrapped your arms around my waist. Then, you even used my leg as a pillow.” Wei Wucai was struggling even while he was talking about this.

The thought of the feeling of Yan Zhiqing sleeping on his legs immediately caused Wei Wucai to feel something wrong.

While Yan Zhiqing wasn’t paying attention, he grabbed the blanket and covered his crotch area.

However, Yan Zhiqing had been really trying not to look at places she shouldn’t be looking at.

And so, she didn’t really notice.

But then, when Wei Wucai pulled the blanket over, his movement was too obvious.

Even if Yan Zhiqing didn’t want to see it, she still did.

When she saw that there was even a need for Wei Wucai to cover it up, she immediately lowered her head. She hoped that she could bury her head in the ground.

She could barely look at him.

Yan Zhiqing heard what Wei Wucai had said, but she didn’t really remember it herself.

She believed him though.

After all, she was the one pressing on Wei Wucai this morning.

Wei Wucai looked so helpless. It was obvious that he had been forced!

“I didn’t dare to wake you up. I was worried that you might feel awkward because of the situation earlier. In addition, you were sick and had finally fallen asleep,” Wei Wucai said. “And so, I sat against the headboard of the bed and waited until you were sound asleep to move your hand away slowly.

“However, I didn’t persist. Soon, I fell asleep while sitting down.”

It seemed like he was not trying to make himself seem pitiful.

When Yan Zhiqing heard this, she couldn’t even bother to think about the awkwardness she felt due to their intimacy.

Immediately, she felt really guilty towards Wei Wucai.

He was worried about waking her up and actually slept while sitting up.

That must have been so tiring.

In addition, he had been busy taking care of her. She had already slept while she received her infusion treatment.

However, he’d had to help pay attention to when the infusion bag was almost empty, and when they came back, he’d had to take care of her for a long time.

It had been much more tiring for him than her, a sick person.

Even if he didn’t leave and slept while sitting up…

Yan Zhiqing couldn’t blame him.

Whose fault was it that he had not been able to even get a good sleep?

It was hers!

She had taken his bed. It was already horrible that he’d have had to sleep on the sofa.

But he had ended up spending the whole night taking care of her.

And now, he hadn’t even been able to sleep while lying down.

“Sorry,” Yan Zhiqing said guiltily.

“I am not saying this to make you feel sad. I am just explaining so that there won’t be a misunderstanding,” Wei Wucai said.

“I also fell asleep accidentally.” Wei Wucai spoke in a regretful tone, seeming to be saying that he shouldn’t have fallen asleep.

If he had just spent an entire night staying awake and guarding her, this would have never happened.

She was the one who did it first and made him feel so guilty.

Yan Zhiqing felt even more embarrassed.

“I slept sitting up until it was almost morning. That’s when you suddenly started pulling me down,” Wei Wucai said.

Yan Zhiqing looked away.

This… She had memories of this.

Because it was a dream she had at around the time before she woke up, she remembered it pretty clearly.

She dreamt that she was holding onto a bolster, and that bolster was near the headboard of her bed and not exactly in her arms.

She wasn’t having a good time holding onto it, so she started pulling the bolster down into her arms.

“I saw you pulling me while sleeping. I woke up and checked the time, and it was about an hour before your usual wake-up time. Since there was only an hour left and you were sleeping so well, I thought I should let you sleep.

“Therefore… you dragged me down. But then, I didn’t expect you to do that… while you were sleeping.

“By then, I had even more reasons to not have the courage to wake you up.” Wei Wucai thought that he was really innocent.

Yan Zhiqing thought that Wei Wucai was innocent as well.

Given what Wei Wucai had said, what she had done was like the act of raping someone.

She didn’t remember what happened last night.

But she still remembered the dream she had this morning.

She remembered treating Wei Wucai like a bolster and hugging him with her arms and legs. She was not being courteous at all.

She had not been awake at that time and had been dreaming.

However, if the bolster in her dream was Wei Wucai, then the truth was obvious.

“Say no more…” Yan Zhiqing buried her face in her palms. “This is not your fault. It’s because I am a bad sleeper.”

Wei Wucai moved his mouth and said while looking weak and pitiful, “It is my fault… I should have woken you up.”

Yan Zhiqing shook her head and said, “No matter what, it is my fault.”

Wei Wucai stopped talking.

Yan Zhiqing had no idea that this person had secretly kissed her while she was asleep.

And now, he was playing the victim.
