Yu Shu closed his eyes for five minutes but still couldn’t fall asleep. Thinking Yan Jin probably wasn’t asleep either, he tentatively called out to ask her.
Yan Jin suddenly recalled the late night talks her college roommates often had, and with a start, she replied in a stiff voice, “I’m asleep.”
Actually, Yan Jin’s college roommates were all very nice, but she still wasn’t used to the late night chats in the dorms. Chatting for too long would delay bedtime and noticeably shorten sleep time.
Late at night, Yan Jin felt these kinds of heart-to-heart talks should be minimized as much as possible, except for entertainment activities.
And to be frank, even if she wanted to have a heart-to-heart with Yu Shu, it would be too weird in this scenario.
It’s easiest to overthink and make impulsive decisions at night, especially with her and Yu Shu sleeping in the same bed now. Yan Jin was worried that if she started talking with Yu Shu, she might get carried away in the moment and cross some lines.
Yan Jin felt she had good intentions, but Yu Shu found her quite infuriating.
“If you don’t want to talk then just say so, why are you telling me you’re asleep.” Yu Shu muttered under his breath, “How impressive, you can still talk in your sleep.”
Yan Jin wanted to retort, but then realized if she said anything, she would definitely end up bickering a bit with Yu Shu before this topic could end. She might even accidentally wake up Guo Bao Rou, further shortening her sleep time.
Thinking of this, Yan Jin felt keeping her mouth shut was the most worthwhile option, so she pretended not to hear Yu Shu’s grumbling.
Yan Jin ignored Yu Shu, but Yu Shu didn’t just let it go and obediently go to sleep. Instead, he called out to her a few more times.
“Xiao Xiao, Yan Xiao Xiao.”
“Really asleep?” Yan Jin heard Yu Shu mumble softly, “As expected of someone so carefree, falling asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow.”
So this was the image she had in Yu Yuan Yuan’s mind.
Yan Jin’s fingers hidden under the covers twitched.
If this were during the day, she would definitely jump up to pinch Yu Yuan Yuan’s face, loudly declaring to everyone that Yu Yuan Yuan got fatter again!
Just as Yan Jin was contemplating which angle she should pinch Yu Shu’s face from when she woke up tomorrow, she suddenly felt something strange about her hair splayed out on the pillow, as if someone was stroking the strands with a very light, gentle touch.
The only person who could touch her hair at this moment, within a radius of ten miles, was none other than Yu Shu. And no one else would be this childish.
Yan Jin didn’t know what Yu Shu was up to, so she secretly opened one eye and glanced at him from the corner of her eye.
Although there were no street lights outside in An Guo, with the help of the faint moonlight, Yan Jin’s excellent night vision allowed her to see Yu Shu pick up a strand of her hair and lower his head as if gently sniffing the fragrance.
Yan Jin: ……
This guy Yu Yuan Yuan.
Not sleeping in the middle of the night, but sniffing her hair instead.
Fortunately, she had washed her hair today, otherwise she would definitely be mocked by the childish Yu Yuan Yuan tomorrow morning.
Just as Yan Jin was thinking about how to counterattack the childish Yu Shu during the day, she saw Yu Shu bring that strand of hair to his lips and gently press his lips down.
Has Yu Yuan Yuan gone crazy?
Yan Jin’s pupils suddenly widened.
The clean freak Yuan Yuan loves cleanliness the most, right? Yu Shu, who brushes his teeth, washes his face, and then sweeps the floor and wipes the table first thing every morning after getting up, how could he kiss her hair?!
Wait… kiss?!
Afraid that her wide-open eyes would be discovered by Yu Shu, Yan Jin quickly closed her eyes and frantically poked the system.
Has Yu Shu developed Stockholm syndrome? Why did he suddenly kiss her hair?
The system, which was always online, instantly replied.
[The system doesn’t quite understand this question. It is recommended that Host Yan Jin ask Host Yu Shu.]Although Yan Jin was always mocked by Yu Shu for her EQ being offline, even if Yan Jin’s EQ was super low at this moment, she knew that she couldn’t let Yu Shu find out that she had already discovered him secretly kissing her.
Knowing that she couldn’t get any answers from the system, Yan Jin silently sighed in her heart.
She really couldn’t understand what was going through the minds of boys these days.
Yu Shu himself didn’t know what was going through his mind either. He inexplicably picked up Yan Jin’s hair and kissed it in a trance.
After kissing Yan Jin’s hair, Yu Shu, realizing what he had just done, hastily put the strand of hair back in a fluster, even guiltily smoothing out the hair.
In the end, Yu Shu even peeked out sneakily to check Yan Jin’s reaction on the other side. Seeing no other expressions on her face, he finally laid back down relieved.
After laying down, it dawned on Yu Shu that he didn’t need to be so afraid of Yan Jin finding out, because he really didn’t do it on purpose.
People always have moments when they can’t help themselves. He was bored and saw Yan Jin’s hair on the pillow. Out of curiosity, he wanted to, wanted to…
Yu Shu tried to come up with an excuse to convince himself, but the more he tried to justify it, the harder it became for him to get over that mental hurdle.
In the end, Yu Shu couldn’t make up any more excuses. He silently pulled the covers up over his head, covering his face, and let out a silent scream in the comforter.
How could he be so silly! So stupid!
He was the world’s biggest idiot!!
Who in the world gets so bored in the middle of the night that they go and kiss their opposite-sex friend’s hair?!
If he weren’t afraid of waking up Yan Jin and Guo Bao Rou, Yu Shu would definitely be banging his head against the wall with “bang bang bang” at this moment.
Yan Jin was simply incompatible with him.
His toes curling up in embarrassment, Yu Shu grieved in his heart: All the social deaths he had experienced in the first half of his life combined did not amount to as many as he had experienced after meeting Yan Jin.
Although Yan Jin didn’t know about this socially-suicidal moment, making it marginally not as severe as the last time his facade slipped, Yu Shu himself was well aware of what had just happened.
“It’s alright, it’s alright.” Yu Shu softly comforted himself, “Besides the moon, no one else knows. You didn’t socially die.”
No. Yan Jin silently replied in her heart: Besides the moon, I also know.
Yuan Yuan: Besides the moon, no one knows.
Xiao Xiao: Besides the moon, I also know.
Me and the little rich girls: We know too!
Originally, Guo Bao Rou was scheduled to go offline in this chapter, but when I was editing the text today, I added their bedtime interaction plot. I got too into writing it, so I’ll let Guo Bao Rou go offline tomorrow.
“Yu Yuan Yuan” is not a typo, I wrote it on purpose.
When Yu Shu first started writing, not knowing what kind of male lead was more charming, he went to Bishui to start a thread.
First floor: Good-looking, with 8-pack abs and V-line.
Second floor: Can’t be a self-righteous male chauvinist who thinks the female lead likes him with just one glance, that her rejection is playing hard to get, that her pursuit means his charm is off the charts. No matter what the female lead does, he can explain it as the female lead loving him to death like a greasy, typical man.
Third floor: Keeps himself pure, upholds male virtue, saves his first time for his future wife-master.
Blushing but still earnestly taking notes, the middle school student Yu Yuan Yuan wrote furiously.
Starting from tomorrow, there will be no extra chapters. It will be 6 chapters per day, because this time I’m really drained.
12:00 noon, 18:00 evening.
