Chapter 273: The Real Him

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang An turned around and looked at Zou Bai’s casual attire. It was completely different from the usual coldness of his formal attire. There was a sense of wanton laziness. That was the real him hidden under his appearance.

This realization made Jiang An feel that the distance between the two of them had closed a lot, but this intimate feeling also made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Zou Bai noticed that Jiang An seemed a little uncomfortable. He thought of something and a smile appeared on his face. He walked to Jiang An’s side and reached out to wrap his arm around her shoulder. He bent his body slightly and whispered into Jiang An’s ear, “Do you want me to help you exercise? This will help you digest.”

Even though Jiang An didn’t have much sexual experience, as an adult, she naturally knew what all of Zou Bai’s exercises were. Her small face instantly turned red, and she glared at Zou Bai coquettishly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. 1’11 sleep at Little Feather’s tonight.”

After Jiang An finished speaking, she was about to leave when Zou Bai smiled and hurriedly pulled her back. “I’m just joking. In order to rush back to the country this weekend, 1 haven’t slept well for the past two days. Tonight, 1 really want to, but I’m really helpless and tired. We’re just chatting under the blanket.”

Jiang An pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, but she did not walk towards the door.

Zou Bai pulled Jiang An onto the bed and turned off the bedside lights on both sides. The two of them laid down quietly. Only the white gauze layer of the curtains were drawn. The neon lights of the tall buildings in the distance reflected the originally pitch-black night. Through the curtains, one could still see the slightly red light.

Jiang An crossed her arms over her abdomen. Her limbs were a little nervous and stiff as she thought about what topic to find to break the awkward atmosphere. In the end, she thought for a long time before saying softly, “By the way, I’ve already prepared a gift for you. Do you want to see it now?”

Jiang An was looking forward to Zou Bai’s reaction when he saw it. When she thought of the gift, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up. After waiting for more than ten seconds, she didn’t hear Zou Bai respond. She couldn’t help but turn her head and look. She realized that Zou Bai’s breathing was calm and he had completely fallen asleep.

Jiang An smiled silently and turned around to lie on her side. She propped her head up with her hand.

Zou Bai, who had his eyes closed, was lying quietly like this. It was still as pleasing to the eye. Jiang An couldn’t help but raise her hand and stop less than a centimeter away from Zou Bai’s eyebrows. She slowly traced Zou Bai’s eyebrows. Upon closer inspection, she realized that Jiang Yi’s face indeed had Zou Bai’s shadow.

The smile on Jiang An’s lips deepened as she muttered, “How good-looking.”

“I’ll let you look for the rest of my life as long as you think I’m good-looking. To you, I’m free-of-charge.” Zou Bai’s eyes were closed, but the corners of his upturned eyes revealed his good mood. Even his voice revealed a gentle smile.

Jiang An was so frightened that she retracted her hand. She lay flat on her back and pulled the blanket over her head. Her actions were so fast that they were done in one motion.

Zou Bai opened his eyes and turned sideways. He stretched out his arms and pulled her into his arms along with the blanket. Jiang An was so nervous she didn’t even dare to breathe.

After a minute, Jiang An realized that Zou Bai was only quietly hugging her. Her worried heart finally relaxed. She asked softly, “When did you wake up? Or did I wake you up again after you fell asleep?”

Zou Bai replied, “I woke up when your hand was about to reach my face. Regardless of whether I’m asleep or not, as long as someone approaches me, I will be able to sense it immediately.”

Jiang An’s thoughts digressed for a moment. She thought of the martial arts masters in television dramas. At the slightest movement, they would immediately open their eyes. Their eyes would be so alert that it was as if they had never slept. She asked curiously, “Then can you rest well at night like this?”

Zou Bai felt Jiang An’s grip on the blanket loosen. He pulled it down forcefully. “It’s not good to keep covering your head like this.”

“I’m used to it. Of course 1 can rest well.”

Without the cover of the blanket, Jiang An stared straight at the ceiling and tried her best to ignore Zou Bai’s gaze. She quickly said, “Then hurry up and sleep. I won’t disturb you.”

Zou Bai tightened his grip on Jiang An’s arm. He covered Jiang An’s eyes with his other hand and closed his eyes. “Sleep.”

Her vision fell into darkness. Jiang An, who was originally not sleepy, was forced to close her eyes. She gradually began to feel sleepy and quickly fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, it was already nine o’clock. Jiang An realized that Zou Bai had already woken up. There was no one else in the room. Just as she got out of bed, she saw him push the door open and enter..
