Chapter 137: Cheat (2)
When Mu Mingtang returned to the bed after changing, she found that Xie Xuanchen was still sitting at the table. Mu Mingtang was surprised and asked, "Why didn’t you move?"
Xie Xuanchen smiled gloomily: "You’re behind me, how am I going to change?"
Mu Mingtang was stunned, and suddenly reacted: "You…… are you worried that I’ll look?"
"Who knows."
Mu Mingtang got so angry that she crawled into bed in anger, and untied the bed net with a thump. Upon seeing her actions, it was as if she was shouting her thoughts to Xie Xuanchen.
Mu Mingtang felt so angry as she laid in bed. She laid there for a while and heard faint footsteps, followed by a faint sound of him untying his belt.
Mu Mingtang blushed, and she thought to herself, Xie Xuanchen, a grown man, why is he undressing so slowly, and then she felt that something was wrong again. Could it be that she was also this loud when she changed?
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it sounded. Mu Mingtang thought about it for a while, the sound of him changing had stopped, and his footsteps gradually approached. Mu Mingtang didn't know why she was so embarrassed, so she turned around and covered half of her face with a blanket, pretending that she was fast asleep.
The mattress beside her slumped slightly, and then someone laid down beside her. This feeling felt rather new. She couldn’t see anything, but Mu Mingtang could clearly picture him. He lifted the blanket first, and then laid down. After lying down, he seemed to be annoyed by his hair, so he gently moved his hair aside.
Mu Mingtang thought that she had already passed that awkward stage at the start after she shared the same bed with him for so many days. Xie Xuanchen, this roommate, was not easy to get along with, but his habits aren’t too bad, he sleeps well, doesn't snore, doesn't move around when he sleeps, and stays quiet all night. She’ll just treat it as if she’s sleeping with Granny Zhou.
But tonight, she wasn’t sure if it was because the air was too dry, or if it was too late at night, she didn’t feel sleepy, and she found it very difficult to fall asleep. Xie Xuanchen's breathing could be heard from behind her, breathing in and out in a soft and constant manner. Although he didn’t make any sound, his presence could be felt.
Mu Mingtang blushed and forced herself to close her eyes.
She didn’t know whether it was because she slept late last night. When Mu Mingtang woke up the next day, her body felt sore and weak. She sat in front of the dressing table, letting the maids comb her hair, and she couldn't help but yawn continuously.
The maids noticed Mu Mingtang's lazy and feeble expression from the mirror, and her usual lively eyes seemed down, they didn’t dare to look any further.
After Mu Mingtang was all dressed, she sent the maids away. She didn't sleep well last night, and now her mind was a total blur. She walked back inside and saw Xie Xuanchen lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face when he was sleeping looked peaceful and beautiful.
Mu Mingtang felt unjust. She didn't sleep well last night. Why is this culprit still asleep? She lifted her skirt slightly and sat on the side of the bed, she then gently pushed Xie Xuanchen: "Master, Master……"
Xie Xuanchen was woken up by her. He frowned and opened his eyes. He vaguely saw Mu Mingtang sitting on the bed, he thought that something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
Mu Mingtang was brightly dressed and smiled as she said to him: "Nothing’s wrong, just waking you up."
Xie Xuanchen stood up and looked at Mu Mingtang suspiciously: "What's the matter?”
