The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 696: Sharing a Bed, She Clings to Him Playfully

Walking to the bedside, he adjusted the position of his trousers and sat down by the bed.Sheng Yi immediately lay down, turned to look at him, waiting for him to lie down as well.

In her heart, she thought, if only I could hold his waist later, it would be wonderful.

But she didn’t wait for the man to lie down, only heard him say, "Sleep, I will stay here with you."

Sheng Yi pursed her lips and furrowed her brows.

Due to her disappointment, she didn’t hear the difference in the man’s voice compared to before.

There was an added husky tone in his normal voice, deeper than usual, and after saying it, his tightly pursed lips resembled willow leaves, representing his restraint.

Yes, restraint.

That pair of wet eyes lingered in his mind, an elusive fragrance drifted at the tip of his nose, unable to tell if it was her natural scent or just the freshly blown hair distributed it. This faint aroma made something inside his chest stir restlessly, wanting to break free.

He knew what that was.

So, after sitting at the bedside, he dared not move.

Not moving doesn’t mean the "little enchantress" can stay put.

Sheng Yi had already decided to put everything on the line, thinking that since she’s already humiliated, might as well not let it be in vain.

Her small face collapsed, she buried it into the pillow, her shoulders shaking slightly, emitting soft sobs. This trick was very effective, at least tonight, she discovered that whenever she cried, Dao An would swiftly compromise. If this trick worked, and then stopped working, she’d have to resort to plan B.

However... it seems like plan B won’t be necessary.

Because Dao An came over.

He got up and went around to her side, but he didn’t sit down, gently called out her name, "Miss Sheng Yi?"

Sheng Yi ignored him.

Still sobbing, her shoulders shaking sporadically, seeming to cry very sadly.

Dao An, unable to bear hearing her cry, seeing her sadness, could only first comfort her, promising to address other matters later.

"I won’t leave. I’ll stay here with you," he paused, adding the last three words, "All night long."

Sheng Yi: "Sob, sob..."

A very faint sound, like the whimpering of a small animal, particularly pitiful.

He extended both hands, placing them on her shoulders, and scooped her up.

When he saw her eyes, wet and red, he hesitated, taken aback by his own fear of crossing boundaries, which made her so scared...

This left him somewhat at a loss, unsure for a moment how to comfort her.

Sheng Yi took advantage of the moment, slowly moving closer, resting her cheek on his chest, whispering, "Dao An, I’m scared, really scared. Could you sleep with me? I promise I won’t do anything to you."

Dao An: "..." I’m afraid I would do something to you.

Sheng Yi naturally didn’t know the man’s concerns.

Once she leaned into his arms, her sobbing hadn’t stopped, continuous, very aggrieved.

Ultimately, the man compromised, agreeing to her: "Alright."

Sheng Yi immediately left his embrace, her face that was crying moments ago broke into a smile, pulling his arm, "Then come here, lie here, don’t worry, I won’t disturb you."

Dao An: "..."

...

The room fell into silence.

So quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing.

Sheng Yi obediently lay on one side, her hands folded calmly above her small abdomen. Now and then, she glanced aside at the man lying beside her. He mirrored her posture, motionless but with one hand on his abdomen and the other dangling beside him.

The lights were off.

Yet the curtains weren’t drawn, allowing the moonlight to stream in, stretching along the floor to the foot of the bed, creating some speckles, both cold and warm.

Sheng Yi turned to her side, though her vision should’ve been unclear in the dark, she found it extraordinarily clear at that moment, as if she had activated night vision, her unwavering eyes locked onto the profile of the man beside her.

"Tonight’s moonlight is truly beautiful..."

The next line is,

——And you are more beautiful than the moonlight.

Her voice was very soft, noticing the man’s closed eyelids didn’t move, assuming he hadn’t heard.

She maintained this position, staring at his profile for a long time, finally unable to resist extending a mischievous hand towards him.

When reaching out, Sheng Yi told herself: not to do anything, just wanting to be closer to him.

Besides, the man appears to be sound asleep, doesn’t he?

Wriggling under the thin blanket like a worm, she eventually got closer to his side. Sheng Yi slowly propped herself up, watching his sleeping face for another half minute before gently lifting his hand from his abdomen, straightening it to one side, then resting her head on his arm as a pillow.

Just as her head was about to rest on his arm, barely a centimeter away, she heard the voice——

"Miss Sheng Yi."

A soft call, somewhat husky, accompanied by a deep tone, extraordinarily pleasant.

However, Sheng Yi froze, her neck stiffened, neither able to prop up nor lay down comfortably...

In the end, she simply lay down.

Then she took the initiative to press her face to his ribs, her body snuggling up against him, using a pitiful voice to say, "Sorry Dao An, I didn’t mean to do this, but when I close my eyes, all I can think about is the scene where Qin Bing forces me to marry him, he’s threatening me, and this trip back home, he plans to keep me in Hai City, restricting my personal freedom..."

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.

This time, her emotional outburst was genuinely heartfelt, recalling Qin Bing’s words, considering what might happen next... her sobs filled with sadness, "I’m worried I’ll ultimately be unable to escape Qin Bing’s fate, I don’t like him at all, he has so many women, who would want to fight for affection in his harem, he might enjoy the pleasures, but what about me, it’s a lifetime commitment..."

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became, her sobs heavy, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

The man, who’d been lying flat, suddenly turned sideways, wrapping her in his arms, "You won’t."

He spoke.

It was as if giving her a firm promise.

Sheng Yi took the opportunity to extend a hand through his armpit, pressing against his shoulder blade, tightly hugging him back.

...

Sheng Yi slept exceptionally well.

Having slept so soundly, upon waking, she momentarily forgot what happened the previous day. She got up, wandered into the bathroom with a fuzzy mind, scooped water to wash her face. The cold water on her face refreshed her memory considerably, though she was somewhat displeased by the coldness, and switched to hot water.

While washing up, she occasionally smiled stupidly at the mirror.

Thinking about last night, Dao An hugged her, made her heart feel like it was soaking in honey, sweet to the core.

After finishing her wash, she came out to change clothes, holding them in front of her to size up whether to put on makeup first. The hesitation lasted only three seconds, before decisively picking up her makeup bag, heading to the bathroom to apply makeup.

A fresh and dewy peach makeup look, extremely tender.

She admired herself in the mirror, smacking her lips, her lips making a popping sound as they opened.

Having taken a long time to perfect her makeup, she hurried to change into the skirt she chose earlier after coming out, even leaving her makeup bag unorganized. She put on the selected dress, checked her beautiful reflection in the mirror, her mood elevated. Yesterday’s sadness, the crying, all was thrown aside, today’s beautiful self was what mattered.

She came out of the bedroom.

About to shout Dao An’s name out loud, she abruptly closed her open mouth upon seeing the few people seated in the suite’s living room, her gaze shifting from shock to joy.
