Chapter 1075: How to Sleep and Rest

~7 min read 1,289 words

The woman did not notice the deeper meaning in Xiao Han's words; she only felt happy, thinking she might have taken a step closer to the other person.

After all, before this, what she feared most and found hardest to approach was the person in the driver's seat and the one standing before her.

The sky quickly darkened. After a hurried dinner, everyone gathered and sat together.

With no electronic devices to watch, most people chose to read books.

The newly arrived woman could only sit awkwardly on the sofa, not knowing what to do.

"Do you want to read a book?" Lin Yi took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.

Before dinner, Ning Chen had once had a brief exchange with him.

Lin Yi planned to gradually approach the woman to see if he could draw anything out of her.

Since he was going to approach her, Lin Yi naturally had to treat the woman with gentleness. As the old saying goes, warm water boils the frog; he didn't believe the woman wouldn't fall under his gentle offensive.

"Ah? Oh, y-yes, that's fine too." The woman, caught off guard by the sudden conversation, was somewhat at a loss.

Lin Yi went to a nearby cabinet, took out a book, sat naturally beside the woman, and placed the book in her hands.

"You read this one first. If you don't like it, just tell me, and I'll go change it for another."

After speaking, Lin Yi did not forget to flash a big smile.

Under Lin Yi's smile, the woman gradually fell, completely forgetting how Lin Yi had previously mocked and ridiculed her.

Seeing the affection in the woman's eyes, Lin Yi's smile grew even wider.

Sitting opposite, Ning Chen couldn't help but sigh in admiration; truly, Lin Yi was worthy of the name, and this job was absolutely perfect for him.

With his gentle offensive, Lin Yi became familiar with the woman in just one night; the two chatted with boundless joy, and the woman even blushed from time to time.

When it was time to rest, in theory, the woman should have rested with Gu Yanqi.

But letting such a time bomb stay with Gu Yanqi was something no one agreed to.

"Um, am I staying with Sister Gu?" the woman asked.

The few people exchanged glances. Ning Chen spoke first: "There is no spot for you."

Saying this, Ning Chen pulled Gu Yanqi into the room.

Gu Yanqi, who was still dazed and murmuring, hadn't quite reacted to what was happening.

Looking at Ning Chen, who was now in the same room as her, Gu Yanqi's mind gradually cleared.

She was staying with Brother Ning?!

Gu Yanqi looked at Ning Chen with a face full of disbelief; she now even suspected the person before her might be a fake.

Ning Chen closed the door, looked at Gu Yanqi's shocked expression, and slowly explained: "Sorry, this is a temporary measure. I can't let you stay in the same room as her; it's too dangerous."

"Ah, I, I don't have any, anything wrong." Thinking of the two of them spending the night in the same room, Gu Yanqi's face instantly turned red.

She already had different thoughts about Ning Chen; now that the two of them were alone in a room, Gu Yanqi hurriedly looked around her room to check for anything inconvenient.

After Ning Chen pulled Gu Yanqi away, there was a long silence in the living room.

Ning Chen's action not only stunned the woman; the other three didn't quite react either.

Fortunately, Lin Yi had strong adaptability. He quickly spoke to the woman to explain: "Ahem, um, you know their relationship. Brother Ning is the type who gets jealous easily; he even gets jealous over women."

The woman hadn't expected the two of them to have such a relationship. After all, during the day on this RV, she hadn't noticed any special interaction between the two.

However, the woman thought back to earlier at the supermarket, where Ning Chen had treated Gu Yanqi specially, and she roughly figured it out.

The woman smiled slightly: "Ah, it's fine, I understand."

Seeing this, Huo Jinglin stood up, said nothing, entered the room on the right, and slammed the door shut with a "Bang!"

A faint awkwardness rose in the air again. Lin Yi felt like crying but had no tears; how was he supposed to smooth this over?

And the only one on the scene from their own side, Xiao Han, after receiving Lin Yi's look for help, decisively turned around, went to the front passenger seat, lay down, and prepared to rest.

Only the woman and Lin Yi were left in the living room. Lin Yi sighed and could only unleash his Oscar-winning acting skills.

"Sigh, please don't mind. He has a severe obsession with cleanliness and won't just let anyone into his room to stay." Lin Yi pointed at Huo Jinglin's room, his face full of helplessness.

"You have no idea how tired I was cleaning back then; not even a single hair could fall."

Whether it was because Lin Yi's acting was too good or not, the woman actually believed it. She even sighed with relief: "Then it's a good thing you didn't let me stay there; otherwise, I guess everything inside would have to be replaced."

Lin Yi nodded vigorously: "Besides, he is extremely ungentle to women. Let me tell you, I think he will never fall in love with a woman in his entire life."

Lin Yi lied without blushing or his heart skipping a beat, smearing Huo Jinglin's reputation.

Afterwards, Lin Yi pointed again at the room where Ning Chen and Gu Yanqi were, and said seriously: "By the way, let me tell you, those two are so lovey-dovey they hurt dogs; seeing us single, they torment us every day."

"You just arrived, so they can still hold back a bit. I guess by tomorrow, those two will be sickeningly sweet!"

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Xiao Han, hearing Lin Yi adding various character traits to them, couldn't help but want to laugh.

After finishing with Ning Chen and Gu Yanqi, Lin Yi pointed again at Xiao Han in the front passenger seat: "Finally, there's him. Let me tell you, he..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Han's cold voice came over: "Not sleeping yet? What are you muttering about over there?"

Caught in the act, Lin Yi was not embarrassed; instead, he leaned close to the woman and whispered: "Did you hear that? This person is very fierce."

The woman seemed very interested in this topic and listened very attentively throughout.

After finishing speaking, Lin Yi looked around, then turned to the woman and comforted her: "It seems we can only sleep on the floor today. I'm truly putting you to trouble."

The woman felt she had gained a lot today; she didn't expect to integrate into this group all at once.

"No, no, how could it be trouble? Besides, you even saved me. Just having a place to stay is already very good."

Seeing that the woman said she didn't mind, Lin Yi said no more. Instead, he went to the storage compartment, took out two bedding sets, laid one in the middle of the facing sofas, and the other on the outside of the sofa.

After discussion, the woman rested in the middle of the sofa, while Lin Yi slept on the outside.

Actually, this arrangement was mainly to allow Lin Yi to better monitor the woman, and with Xiao Han outside, any incident could be responded to quickly.

Lin Yi waited until the woman fell asleep before he closed his eyes to rest.
