Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Zhou Shuyan, You Did It on Purpose, Didn’t You?

The timing really couldn’t have been better.

After dinner, Lu Youxi lingered a bit longer at home.

She chatted with Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo, even tutored Lu Youxue in his homework, seemingly quite occupied.

Zhou Shuyan then said, "If you’re really that busy, we could stay over tonight."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Liu Yushu actually was a bit reluctant to let Lu Youxi go, "How about you two stay the night here and go back to the apartment tomorrow?"

Before Lu Youxi could agree, Lu Zhenguo quickly nodded his head, "That would be great!"

"Sis, I miss you." Lu Youxue also clung to Lu Youxi, saying, "You’re always at school and hardly come home, it’s not easy for us to have you back."

If it kept going like this, he was going to start disliking Zhou Shuyan.

Helpless, Lu Youxi had no choice but to agree.

Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu had been busy all day and got tired early.

Lu Youxue was young, and Lu Youxi demanded that he finish his homework in the evening and go to bed by 9 PM if he finished early.

If he had too much homework, he couldn’t stay up later than 11 PM.

The schools in the Imperial Capital really piled on the homework too.

Now in his first year of junior high, Lu Youxue was under much more pressure than before.

Since it was Friday, even though Lu Youxue hadn’t finished his homework yet, Liu Yushu still insisted that he go to rest early.

Thus, Lu Youxi had no excuse to dawdle and had to return to the bedroom with Zhou Shuyan.

Lu Youxi took a shower first and, after drying her hair, she picked up a book to read at the head of the bed.

Ten minutes later, the sound of a blow dryer came from the bathroom.

After a while, the noise stopped, and it wasn’t long before Zhou Shuyan emerged.

His hair, now completely dry and neatly falling on his forehead, made him look even younger than he did during the day.

He almost looked like a college student about her age.

Zhou Shuyan glanced at Lu Youxi and, seeing no reaction from her, slowly pulled out the bedding from the closet and spread it on the floor.

As he was doing so, he kept glancing at Lu Youxi.

As if oblivious, Lu Youxi kept her gaze fixed on the text on the page, though she had not absorbed a word.

Zhou Shuyan finally finished making his bed on the floor and sat on it, his hands looking rather pitiful as he clutched the edge of Lu Youxi’s bed, "Youxi, what book are you reading?"

Finally shifting her gaze from the book, Lu Youxi first looked at Zhou Shuyan’s hands clinging to her bedside.

His fingers were slender and fair, and even the casual gesture of resting them on her bed seemed so elegant.

Lu Youxi thought to herself, was there any part of this man that wasn’t good looking?

Then she silently showed him the cover of the book.

"It’s late, don’t read anymore, it’s bad for your eyes," Zhou Shuyan added.

Lu Youxi hadn’t planned to continue reading anyway, so she replied with a "Hmm," set the book down, "Good night."

Saying that, Lu Youxi promptly lay down.

Zhou Shuyan then got up to turn off the lights before lying down himself.

Lu Youxi heard the rustling of the blanket and the friction of his pajamas’ fabric by the bed.

A while later, she heard Zhou Shuyan ask, "Youxi, are you asleep yet?"

Lu Youxi: "..."

"Hey, the heating hasn’t been turned on yet, the floor is getting a bit cold," Zhou Shuyan sighed.

Lu Youxi: "..."

Only then did Lu Youxi realize, lying under the blanket, that even her own feet were still a bit cold.

It would be another week before the heating would be turned on.

Lu Youxi thought to herself, if she felt cold, it was even worse for Zhou Shuyan lying on the floor.

"But I can handle it," Zhou Shuyan added.

"..." Lu Youxi said helplessly, "Zhou Shuyan, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

"It’s genuinely cold, but I did mention it on purpose," Zhou Shuyan admitted honestly.

This is an open strategy!

Even though Lu Youxi knew that, she couldn’t help but feel sympathetic.

Thinking about it, she had already shared a bed with Zhou Shuyan the night before, and it would seem rather coy to refuse him tonight suddenly.

Plus, the floor really was cold.

Lu Youxi sat up, moved to the end of the bed, and tested the floor with her feet.

It wasn’t bone-chilling, but it certainly wouldn’t do for an entire night.

"You come up here. We’ll squeeze in," Lu Youxi said. "Just like last night, we’ll each use our own blankets."

As soon as Lu Youxi finished speaking, she heard a rustling sound behind her—Zhou Shuyan was already lying on the bed and had even shifted her pillow over a bit to put his own pillow neatly next to hers.

His movements were as fluent as water and surprisingly quick.

It made Lu Youxi wonder if Zhou Shuyan had secretly practiced.

"Come on, let’s sleep," Zhou Shuyan even patted the spot next to him. "You didn’t sleep well last night, did you?"

Lu Youxi: "..."

He actually knew she hadn’t slept well last night.

Maybe it was because she really hadn’t slept well last night, but this time, Lu Youxi fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, completely ignoring Zhou Shuyan’s presence.

On the other hand, Zhou Shuyan turned his head, helplessly looking at Lu Youxi’s peacefully sleeping face.

This little girl actually fell asleep.

Right next to a living person, and she could still fall asleep.

It made him seem quite powerless over her.

Zhou Shuyan sighed repeatedly in his own breaths as he struggled to fall asleep.

The next morning, Lu Youxi felt warmth all around her.

It was that perfect kind of warmth, not too hot, making her want to stay in this sensation forever.

Lu Youxi sighed contentedly and even rubbed her face against it.

After a few more rubs, she finally realized something was amiss.

She immediately opened her eyes to find a chest wall before her.

Lu Youxi remembered everything all at once.

But when they had fallen asleep, they had each been under their blankets.

How did she end up in Zhou Shuyan’s arms?

Lu Youxi blinked and looked down—her blanket was still properly wrapped around her, only a bit too well, cocooning her like a stuffed pancake roll.

Lu Youxi then realized that she, along with her blanket, had ended up in Zhou Shuyan’s arms.

"Morning," came Zhou Shuyan’s sleepy, slightly hoarse voice from above her head.

Before Lu Youxi could look up, her forehead was kissed with a soft, warm, slightly moist peck.

Lu Youxi subconsciously buried her face back into Zhou Shuyan’s chest.

Zhou Shuyan chuckled lightly, causing his chest to tremble slightly.

"How did I end up sleeping over here?" Lu Youxi asked quietly.

Zhou Shuyan chuckled. "It’s not that I took advantage of you on purpose. Last night while you were asleep, you rolled up into a ball in your blanket and then rolled into my arms."

"I had no choice but to cover you with my own blanket too," Zhou Shuyan said.

He wasn’t lying.

Last night, because Lu Youxi hadn’t really slept, she stayed still.

But who knew that after falling asleep deeply, she would end up like this.

Still, Zhou Shuyan really liked it.

"I... I’m getting up..." Lu Youxi said, her face covered with her hands as she rolled away from Zhou Shuyan’s embrace.
