Chapter 587: The Heavens Were Helping Him
Leaving Jiang Xuecheng here to sleep would be a truly terrifying thing!
Just think about it, if Jiang Xuecheng woke up tomorrow morning and saw her by his side, wouldn’t he have to chop her up?!
Su Wan felt inexplicably terrified. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s pitiful eyes and hardened her heart.
What was the use of acting cute!
It was still more important to keep herself safe…
Su Wan gulped. She reached out and brushed Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder with a gentle expression.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan and thought that Su Wan was going to give in. In the end, Su Wan mercilessly destroyed his fantasy.
“It’s like this. You’re a boy. How can you be afraid of the dark? Sleeping alone is to train your courage! When you’re not afraid of the dark and become a strong man, we can sleep together.”
This lecture was obviously nonsense, but Su Wan was full of confidence. After all, Jiang Xuecheng’s IQ was only that of a six-year-old.
She couldn’t bluff ordinary people, but it shouldn’t be difficult to bluff a six-year-old child, right?
Hearing Su Wan’s reasonable words, Jiang Xuecheng was indeed fooled.
But he still felt that something was wrong…
The man tilted his head and frowned. He did not know how to refute Su Wan’s words.
He thought about Su Wan’s words and suddenly thought of something. His dark eyes were like a shooting star that suddenly shone brightly.
“Wan Wan, does that mean that as long as I’m not afraid of the dark, we can sleep together?”
Looking at the hopeful eyes of Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan’s heart suddenly tightened. She laughed and said, “Of course.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng’s brows suddenly relaxed. He clapped his hands in relief. The smile on his face reflected the light, and it was extremely captivating.
“Wan Wan, I’m not afraid of the dark now. Let’s sleep together.”
Without waiting for Su Wan to speak, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly wanted to squeeze into the room door.
The corner of Su Wan’s mouth twitched. She did not expect Jiang Xuecheng to have the temperament of a child.
She immediately shook her head and righteously pushed the tall figure in front of her out.
“Children can’t lie! Otherwise, they won’t be cute anymore! Didn’t you say earlier that you’re afraid of the dark? How could you not be afraid so soon?”
Seeing that Su Wan insisted on not letting him in, the man pursed his lips and suddenly felt very sad.
Didn’t he say that he was afraid of the dark just so that Su Wan could sympathize with him and let him in?
Jiang Xuecheng’s lips quivered, but he did not say that he was lying to her.
It seemed that Wan Wan did not like people who lied to her. He could not let Wan Wan feel that he was not cute…
Jiang Xuecheng tilted his head. In the end, he could only look at Su Wan with an aggrieved expression.
“Wan Wan, when will I be considered not be afraid of the dark and become a strong man?”
Su Wan felt helpless when she saw how weak Jiang Xuecheng was.
No, she couldn’t be soft-hearted!
Su Wan looked at his innocent face with a smile.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll tell you when you reach that stage.”
The comforting female voice brushed past his ears, causing Jiang Xuecheng to frown again.
He did not know why, but when he saw Su Wan’s smile, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
It felt like that day would never come.
However, she would not lie to him, right?
Jiang Xuecheng firmly held onto this thought and finally reluctantly said goodbye to Su Wan.
“Wan Wan, I’m going back now.”
Su Wan smiled and waved at Jiang Xuecheng. “Okay, good night.”
She didn’t even try to stop him…
The man was full of grievance. Seeing that the door behind him was closed, he could only walk forward with his head lowered.
He deliberately walked very slowly and turned his head as he walked. He always felt that Su Wan would open the door to let him in before he disappeared.
But she didn’t.
Jiang Xuecheng pouted and puffed his cheeks. He had a grudge in his heart.
Being afraid of the dark was one thing, but what was the ‘strong man’ about?
He was obviously taller than Su Wan, and much taller at that. Wasn’t he tall enough to stand tall?
After about five minutes, Su Wan heard that there were no more footsteps outside the door. She carefully opened a crack in the door to see if Jiang Xuecheng had obediently returned.
Su Wan poked her head out of the door and saw that there was no one in the dark corridor.
Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, so she gently closed the door and went back to her room to sleep.
Phew, so sleepy…
She didn’t even know what time it was. She still had to get up early tomorrow to prepare breakfast for Jiang Xuecheng!
Su Wan untied her shoes and slowly pulled the quilt over herself.
The development tonight was actually quite interesting.
It turned out that there was such a side to Jiang Xuecheng…
Su Wan reached out her slender hand to turn off the wall lamp. In the darkness, the corners of her lips curved, and she soon fell asleep.
…
When she returned to her bedroom, Jiang Xuecheng, who only had a six-year-old’s IQ, was full of grievance and unwillingness.
Wan Wan said that husband and wife would sleep and eat together, so why did she turn him away?
He tossed and turned a dozen times, and a beautiful and gentle face suddenly appeared in his mind.
There was also the soft and fragrant feeling of Su Wan in his arms.
For some reason, the man’s face gradually turned red.
He was surrounded by darkness, but he kept his eyes open, and images of tonight kept flashing in his mind.
No, he would not be able to sleep if this continued.
Jiang Xuecheng frowned in distress. He turned on the wall lamp and looked at the clock on the wall.
Twenty minutes had passed. Could Su Wan have fallen asleep by now?
He secretly ran over to take a look. He would leave after taking a peek. He should not be discovered, right?
This bold idea popped up in his mind and could not be dispelled.
The man gritted his teeth, feeling conflicted and expectant.
Whatever…
He couldn’t sleep here anyway, so he might as well go and see if Wan Wan had slept.
With an inexplicable excitement, the man didn’t even bother to put on his slippers and ran out of the door barefooted.
The closer he got to Su Wan’s room, the lighter Jiang Xuecheng’s footsteps became, for fear of waking her up.
However, when he really reached Su Wan’s bedroom, he was suddenly stunned!
The door was closed?!
What should he do? He didn’t have the key…
Jiang Xuecheng reached out his hand to touch the door in distress. However, the door suddenly retreated with a soft creak.
It turned out that the door was only ajar. It was not closed, and it was not locked!
Jiang Xuecheng was overjoyed. He raised his eyebrows happily. He felt that the heavens were helping him.
Like a thief, Jiang Xuecheng tiptoed inside. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and only the faint sound of insects could be heard.
Jiang Xuecheng’s heart kept beating faster and faster, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his body.
“Wan Wan?”
In the endless darkness, he called out softly, but no one responded.
