"Let you go… You're right. You don't love me." Chu Yisen let go of her shoulders and mumbled in a low voice.

A drop of tear in the corner of his eye shocked Mo Aili. This guy actually...

She wiped it away with a towel and had mixed feelings. She seemed to feel hurt and bitter for the moment.

"Xue, what did I do wrong? I can change it."

"Xue..."

"Xue..."

She didn't know why she empathized with him and felt distressed in her heart when Chu Yisen kept calling Murong Xue's name. Love was really hard to understand. As for men like Chu Yisen, she thought he must have a bunch of women, but she didn't expect that he would become like this for unrequited love.

He kept whispering Murong Xue's name and pleading regardless of his dignity. It overturned her previous impression of him. Clearly, he was such an arrogant person. When they met for the first time, his cold eyes and condescending attitude were still fresh in her memory.

After Mo Aili wiped his face, she left. It seemed that something had been quietly changing. For the first time, she had a little interest in a man who was drunk. Maybe one day, this little interest would grow into a towering tree.

But who could foresee what the future held?

On the other end, Huangfu Yi and Murong Xue had arrived at the base and sat in the room they stayed in last night.

Murong Xue sighed helplessly and said earnestly, "Yii, we are not lovers, so we can't sleep together like this. Do you understand?"

Huangfu Yi blinked his beautiful eyes and said in an innocent tone, "But I'm sleepy."

"Then sleep by yourself. Who can't fall asleep when they are sleepy?" Murong Xue said, mounting in suspicion that she was fooled. If people were sleepy, didn't they fall asleep quickly? Why couldn't he fall asleep? There were even ridiculous words that he could only fall asleep by holding her.

She grew suspicious and looked at Huangfu Yi in doubt.

Huangfu Yi's face didn't change. He was telling the truth. "Come here. Go to bed!" He sat on the bed and stretched out his hands, motioning Murong Xue to come into his arms.

Murong Xue twitched her eyes. Her words went in one ear and out the other. She didn't come over and continued, "Yii, didn't you hear what I said? This is not right."

"So?" Huangfu Yi folded his arms and said.

"So I can't sleep with you. Do you understand?" She couldn't be led away by him every time. Otherwise, she would never be able to change this obviously abnormal situation.

Huangfu Yi's eyebrows rose slightly. Today, Long Yi explained to him for a long time. He suddenly understood the things between men and women and knew what the physiological needs were, and what the meaning of love was. The only thing he couldn't understand was his own feelings and how to treat Murong Xue. These problems kept bothering him.

In fact, he had many ways to make Murong Xue do what he wanted, such as by force, threatening her, or using what she cared about most, but he couldn't do it to her. It was not because she saved him, and she was not the only one who saved him, but she was the only one whom he felt special.

"There is only one bed here." At last, he gave a lame reason, not like his style.

Murong Xue blurted out, "I can go back!"

"The base was closed, and it won't open after 11 o'clock!" Huangfu Yi glanced at his watch and said in a flat voice.

This reason was even worse, but he spoke so seriously. Murong Xue was speechless.

Finally, Murong Xue saw the oversized sofa in the room and her eyes lit up. She said happily, "I'll sleep on the sofa, so it's a deal. Don't say no, or I'll be angry. You can't sleep with me all the time. It's a disease that should be cured! I'll go to see a doctor with you tomorrow." She kept muttering while she pulled a quilt from the cupboard.

Huangfu Yi stared at the sofa with fierce eyes, wanting to destroy it at once.

After Murong Xue placed the quilt and pillow on the sofa, Huangfu Yi still sat on the bed, motionless. Murong Xue looked at him and said, "Go to sleep. Good night!"

She lifted the quilt, lay on the sofa, closed her eyes, and really fell asleep.

Huangfu Yi sat in a daze for a while before sighing helplessly. He then got up, dimmed the lights, and walked to Murong Xue.

She closed her eyes, breathing smoothly. If it hadn't been for the eyeballs that kept turning under her eyelids, Huangfu Yi would've thought she was asleep. He smiled without making a sound.

He noticed that Murong Xue was so nervous that she tightened her fists above the quilt. Finally, he couldn't bear to see her so uneasy and turned back to the bed and covered the quilt gently. In fact, he was still facing Murong Xue. Because he was not far away, he could still see the expression on her face.

Sensing that Huangfu Yi had left, Murong Xue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. In fact, if Huangfu Yi had hugged her to his bed by force, she could not have resisted. But fortunately, he finally turned and left, and she could still feel the sound of him flopping on the bed.

Slowly, time ticked away. Murong Xue was less nervous and gradually fell asleep.

But Huangfu Yi lay sideways and looked at Murong Xue, without even blinking an eye. Until he was sure that she was asleep, he gently got out of bed, walked slowly to Murong Xue, then lifted her quilt, picked her up, and put her back on his bed. Then he lay down by her side, stretched out his hand to cover the quilt on them, and held her close to his arms. He then showed a contented smile and closed his eyes.

It was a night without dreams, and the dawn broke.

Murong Xue felt she touched something warm and a little big. Why was the furry teddy bear in her room furless? She hadn't fully woken up and continued to feel upward. Why was it a bit like a person? She suddenly opened her eyes wide, sat up, and saw Huangfu Yi sleeping beside her in astonishment.

She couldn't recall how she went to his bed at all. She initially slept on the sofa last night. How come?

Murong Xue, who was about to get up secretly, found that Huangfu Yi also opened his eyes, looking at her.

"Yii, I... How did I get into bed?" Murong Xue bit her lip and asked, looking suspiciously at Huangfu Yi. She guessed that he was the one who carried her to bed.

Huangfu Yi propped up his head with his right hand, lying lazily on the bed. He shot Murong Xue a look before saying, "Last night, you suddenly ran up mid-night, hugged me tightly, and then fell asleep. I shook you gently. But you were sound asleep and I was sleepy and fell asleep, too."

"Impossible, you lied!" Murong Xue retorted in excitement. She was always quiet when sleeping, and she never had the habit of moving around or getting up at midnight.

Huangfu Yi got up and said in a flat voice, "There is a monitor in this room. If you don't believe me, I can show you the monitoring record, but how can you compensate me if you ran onto my bed yourself?" He whispered near Murong Xue's ear.

Murong Xue was startled by his sudden approach. Her face turned red instantly. "Compensate?" She wanted to bite off her tongue. Why was she stammering? It looked as if she had been nervous. Well, she was a little nervous for a moment.

"You suspect I lied to you? It hurt me. If it is proved that you came here by yourself, then you can hug me to sleep as compensation. How about that?" Huangfu Yi said with a smile.

"Dream on!" She stuttered again. Murong Xue really hated herself in this way. What to be nervous about?

"In this case, just apologize to me!" He said and put on a generous look.

"What? Why should I apologize?" Murong Xue stared at him in disbelief.

Huangfu Yi took off his clothes and said, "You took me wrong. Shouldn't you apologize to me?"

Murong Xue instantly covered her eyes and exclaimed, "Why are you taking off your clothes?"

"I'm wearing pajamas. How can I change my clothes if I don't take off my pajamas?" Huangfu Yi didn't feel anything wrong with taking off his clothes, and Murong Xue had already seen him naked. Memories of him in the capital were still fresh. At that time, she once took a bath for him.

Murong Xue was speechless and felt like throwing a temper tantrum. There was a lady here! It was so embarrassing to see him undressed in front of her.

Undeniably, Huangfu Yi wanted to play a trick on her. Seeing her neck and ears turning red made him feel she was cute. Murong Xue was really a magical girl, who could easily affect his mood. He began to understand something.
