Qin Baifan initially refused to sleep alone or with Jiang Xingye. He insisted on staying beside Xu Qinghuan, but after being scolded by Jiang Xingye, he obediently slept in Jiang Xingye's berth.
After waiting for him to fall asleep, Jiang Xingye moved to the upper bunk of Xu Qinghuan. Facing the partition, he lay down and heard Xu Qinghuan getting up and putting on her shoes. He thought she was going to the bathroom and turned over to get up.
But Xu Qinghuan climbed up the ladder and nestled into his arms.
Jiang Xingye stiffened, but he quickly embraced her. Her soft body, like water plants in spring, clung tightly to him, and her breath made him feel hot all over.
"Xingye, are you mad at me?"
It was a question as well as a statement.
Jiang Xingye stopped all movements. Even his previously slightly rapid breathing became lighter, making Xu Qinghuan realize she wasn't wrong.
She felt both heartache and amusement.
This man, even being angry is so subtle!
