Chapter 426: Hugging His Pillow To Sleep
When Gu Nianshen’s hand touched Lin Yiqian’s back, she moved even further toward the edge of the bed.
It felt as if she would soon fall off the bed.
By now, Gu Nianshen was certain that Lin Yiqian was trying to avoid him.
However, he did not understand why. Were they not fine a moment ago in the other room? He was even feeding her lobsters and they were joking around with each other.
Why was she treating him so coldly in bed?
Gu Nianshen felt confused and annoyed.
He decided to press his body against her as he pulled her into his arms.
However, Lin Yiqian was still putting on a fight as she tried to push him away with her elbow.
Gu Nianshen felt angered by her resistance. Letting go of his hands, he flipped to the other side of the bed before turning the light on and getting out of the bed.
Walking barefoot, Gu Nianshen approached the drawer of his desk before retrieving a packet of cigarettes and a lighter. He then returned to the bedroom and walked to the balcony door before opening it and stepping outside.
It was very quiet on the balcony. Lin Yiqian could hear the sound of the lighter clicking.
She popped her head out of the duvet and slowly turned around as she opened her eyes.
The man was leaning against the metal bar on the balcony. Both his arms were resting above the metal bar. Meanwhile, he held onto the lighted cigarette with his long fingers. Through the glass, Lin Yiqian could see the flicker of light illuminating Gu Nianshen’s body. The silhouette of his handsome face became even more prominent, almost resembling a character from a carefully drawn painting.
Suddenly, he lifted his hand as he brought the cigarette to his lips. He took a long puff out of the cigarette before slowly releasing the white fume from his mouth.
It seemed as if he was deeply troubled by his thoughts.
There was a disturbed look in his eyes.
Lin Yiqian felt her chest tighten as she exerted more pressure on her hands that held the duvet.
Although she was eager to approach him, she was afraid that their bodies touching each other might cause her to slip into the deep end once again. She was already feeling massive jealousy over his relationship with Xi Xia.
Lin Yiqian wanted to possess all of him, including his heart and his body. She had always wanted everything.
However, she was also afraid of such possessiveness about herself.
***
After smoking halfway through the cigarette, Gu Nianshen tossed it onto the ground and stepped on it.
Then, he turned around, resting both hands on the metal bar. His back was now facing Lin Yiqian.
He looked up at the sky before letting out a long sigh as he turned around.
Lin Yiqian was still hesitating. Seeing that Gu Nianshen was walking into the room, she hurriedly turned her back on him as she pulled the duvet higher up. She then closed her eyes and pretended to be sleeping.
After hearing the sound of the balcony door being opened, she could then hear the sound of the man’s footsteps getting closer and closer.
As soon as Gu Nianshen arrived at the bed, he noticed Lin Yiqian still had her back to him whilst she slept soundly. Just as he was about to pull the duvet away, he dropped his hands and reached for his pillow instead.
Gu Nianshen then stormed out of the bedroom.
Lin Yiqian opened one eye before opening the other as she turned her head around.
She noticed that Gu Nianshen’s pillow was no longer beside her.
Lin Yiqian blinked as she wondered why Gu Nianshen did what he did.
She did not know why Gu Nianshen had left with his pillow. Feeling curious, Lin Yiqian removed the duvet and climbed out of bed. To avoid making a sound, Lin Yiqian decided not to wear her slippers. Instead, she tiptoed with her bare feet toward the entrance to the bedroom and peeked around the corner.
Lin Yiqian found Gu Nianshen lying on the couch with his arms around his pillow. As the couch was not very long, he needed to curve his body slightly to fit onto it.
Although it seemed like an uncomfortable position, Gu Nianshen kept his eyes shut as he continued to sleep in an apparently peaceful manner.
Lin Yiqian pouted as she snorted silently before returning to the bed.
Gu Nianshen was throwing a tantrum.
Although he did not allow Lin Yiqian to have any interaction with Song Changlin, and also forbid her from seeing Fang Heyang, he himself wore matching couple outfits with Xi Xia.
