Chapter 460: Chapter 459: Exploration

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The wooden door of the room was being frantically beaten.

Accompanied by the terrified screams of Bai Shutong.

"Zhang Xiaoshan, open the door, open it quickly."

With such a loud noise, how could Zhang Xiaoshan sleep?

He got out of bed and pulled the door bolt.

"Ah!"

Bai Shutong, as if seized by a ghost, screamed, rushed in, and jumped into the bed where Zhang Xiaoshan had just been sleeping, curling up into a ball, covering her body with the quilt, only her eyes vigilantly scanning around the room.

Zhang Xiaoshan was initially a bit annoyed upon waking up, but seeing Bai Shutong so terrified, his anger subsided.

He really couldn’t imagine how the reporter who wasn’t afraid of thugs during the day could be so timid, and he looked at Bai Shutong with a bit more sympathy.

"Don’t worry, the village fortune-teller told me that I have a strong fate, and there won’t be ghosts in my room, so don’t panic."

"You, you’re not lying to me?" Bai Shutong was somewhat skeptical.

Zhang Xiaoshan said with self-mockery.

"Why would I lie to you? My father, mother, and brother all died because of me. You’re an orphan, so how could my fate not be strong?"

"Hmm?"

Bai Shutong felt somewhat guilty when she heard what Zhang Xiaoshan said.

"Yes, sorry, I touched on your sorrowful past."

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled casually.

"It’s okay, it’s all in the past."

"Then you sleep in my room, and I’ll sleep in yours."

Zhang Xiaoshan was about to leave but was stopped by Bai Shutong, who was shouting loudly.

"Don’t, don’t go, there really is a ghost in my room, I’m not lying to you, I saw it earlier, it was on the window, with sharp teeth and a pointed mouth, it’s definitely out to eat people, it will eat you if you go."

"I think you’re just being paranoid," Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t take Bai Shutong’s words to heart.

"Believe me, I really saw it."

"Don’t go, if you go, the ghost will surely come after me."

Bai Shutong looked extremely frightened.

Zhang Xiaoshan was a bit helpless.

"Alright."

"Then you sleep first, I’ll leave after you’ve fallen asleep."

Zhang Xiaoshan sat by the bed, with his back to Bai Shutong who was on the bed, and she began to feel gradually more at ease as she looked at his back.

After all, during the day in the small diner, Zhang Xiaoshan alone had fought several thugs, proving his strength, and that was quite reassuring.

An hour passed, and Zhang Xiaoshan was dozing off.

He turned his head to look at Bai Shutong.

He thought that after so long, Bai Shutong must have fallen asleep, but as he turned his head, Zhang Xiaoshan was dumbfounded. Bai Shutong’s beautiful eyes were still wide open, shining like two light bulbs.

"Isn’t it, you, why aren’t you sleeping?"

"I, I really can’t sleep, every time I close my eyes, I feel like the ghost is next to me, please, be a good man to the end, stay with me a little longer?"

Bai Shutong sensed that Zhang Xiaoshan was somewhat impatient, and she felt a bit wronged.

Zhang Xiaoshan, his eyelids fighting, yawned and, squinting his eyes, said.

"It’s not that I don’t want to stay with you, but I’m really exhausted, it’s almost two in the morning, I can’t hold on."

"And you have an interview tomorrow, you can’t be nodding off, can you?"

"Then, then?"

Bai Shutong hesitated for a moment, her face turning red as she shyly lowered her head a bit and said.

"Then, then, let’s sleep together?"

"What? But there’s only this one bed in my room," Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned.

Bai Shutong said.

"We can keep our clothes on, you, you just sleep next to me, just promise not to bully me like you did earlier by the river, okay?"

Saying this, Bai Shutong scooted over, making some room for Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan, barely conscious, knew that unless he settled Bai Shutong, he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

He compromised, lay down on the bed, and said,

"Turn off the lights."

"The ghost will come if we turn off the lights."

"Didn’t I tell you, with my strong fate, ghosts don’t dare come near my territory, and think about it, if you don’t turn off the lights, wouldn’t you see the ghost even more clearly when it comes?"

"That makes sense."

Bai Shutong thought about it and pressed the switch beside the bed.

With a click! The room plunged into darkness.

"It’s agreed, you mustn’t touch me, okay?" Bai Shutong reminded Zhang Xiaoshan again.

By now, Zhang Xiaoshan was truly exhausted and in no mood for conversation.

He didn’t respond.

"Hey, I’m talking to you, did you hear me?"

"Okay, I heard you, I promise not to touch."

Thereafter, the pitch-black room quieted down.

Half an hour later.

"Hey, hey, Zhang Xiaoshan, did you fall asleep?"

Bai Shutong vigorously pushed Zhang Xiaoshan’s shoulder.

Zhang Xiaoshan was woken up.

Greatly irritated, he said,

"Lady, can you not disturb me? Unless I’m dead, it’ll be hard for me to fall asleep with you behaving like this."

"Why aren’t you asleep?"

"I’m scared, I can’t sleep, every time I close my eyes, I see those ghastly faces from movies and novels, I’m terrified."

"Can I, can I hold your arm to sleep?"

"Hmm."

"Here you go."

In a half-dazed state, Zhang Xiaoshan draped his arm over Bai Shutong.

It just so happened to rest perfectly atop the crest of her hills.

"What, what are you doing?" Bai Shutong was startled, but Zhang Xiaoshan did not respond at all and even started to snore lightly, as if he had truly fallen asleep.

Bai Shutong tried to push Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand away.

But looking around the dark room,

she thought about it and then held on instead.

In the darkness, a sly smile spread across Zhang Xiaoshan’s face.

Actually, Bai Shutong did trust Zhang Xiaoshan, especially since he had rescued her during the day, which really gave her a sense of security.

Soon, she fell asleep quietly.

But Zhang Xiaoshan opened his eyes.

At that moment, Bai Shutong was wearing a pullover one-shoulder nightgown.

Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand shifted its position from the waist upward, slowly exploring further up.
