Chapter 130
"Shh! Be quiet, Mao You is asleep!" The moment Ye Qingfeng noticed the movement at the door, he quickly made a gesture for silence.
At this time, Anbi and Billy's voices came over.
"Are you not watching Starlight Knights?" "Are there no burgers?"
The two's shoulders instantly slumped, their whole persons seeming to have had their spirit drained, exuding a thick atmosphere of decadence.
Ye Qingfeng:?
Nico had a puzzled expression, muttering to herself: What are they doing? Don't block the front!
Clearly, blocked by the two, Nico couldn't see the situation inside at all, so she hurriedly reached out to pull them aside, unable to wait to cast her gaze into the room.
She saw Ye Qingfeng sitting quietly by the bed, Mao You holding his leg tightly with both hands, her cute little face pressed against him, her peaceful sleeping face fully revealed.
"May I ask~ is there something you need, Sister Nico?" Ye Qingfeng asked softly with a kind smile.
He didn't need to think to be certain that this was definitely Nico's idea; Billy and Anbi would absolutely not be interested in such things.
"Haha... it's just that you guys hadn't made a sound for a long time, and I didn't see you come down, so..."
Facing Ye Qingfeng's inquiry, Nico could only scratch her cheek awkwardly.
"Let's go out first, Mao You is asleep, don't wake her up."
Ye Qingfeng didn't intend to continue entangling with Nico here, lowering his voice and speaking softly.
Upon hearing this, Nico decisively dragged Billy and Anbi away; there was no help for it, walking alone was just too awkward.
After the three left, Ye Qingfeng tried to pry Mao You's hands open.
This took him quite some effort, but fortunately, he succeeded in the end.
However, just after he left Mao You's side, the sleeping face that had originally worn a faint smile was now furrowed in a deep frown, as if she had endless worries.
"I wish you a good dream~" Ye Qingfeng gently held Mao You's cheeks and said softly.
Miraculously, it was as if she had heard him; her tightly furrowed brows slowly smoothed out, and a faint smile returned to her face.
Before leaving, Ye Qingfeng didn't forget to cover her with the quilt.
Ye Qingfeng gently closed the door, and upon turning around, he saw Nico, Anbi, and Billy huddled in the corner of the hallway, whispering.
Their expressions were varied; Nico was scratching her head in embarrassment, while Anbi and Billy had innocent looks on their faces.
Ye Qingfeng's mouth curled up slightly, his inner guess now even more certain.
"You three, are you up to no good again?" Ye Qingfeng's voice wasn't high, but it carried a hint of teasing.
Although he had already confirmed Nico was the mastermind, these two were accomplices by approximation.
The three instantly quieted down, Nico's face slightly flushed, while Anbi and Billy just blinked faintly.
Ye Qingfeng raised an eyebrow and looked at Nico, only to see her lower her head and mutter in a low voice, "It... it's because you hadn't come out for a long time, and we were worried about you."
"Worried about me?" The curve of Ye Qingfeng's mouth grew larger; he walked in front of the three, crossed his arms, and looked at Nico with a playful gaze. "Sister Nico, are you jealous?"
"Eh?!" Nico's face instantly turned bright red; she raised her head abruptly and glared at Ye Qingfeng. "Who, who would be jealous! I was just worried about you!"
"Worried about me?" Ye Qingfeng deliberately drew out his voice, his eyes full of teasing. "Are you afraid Mao You ate me? Or that I ate Mao You?"
Upon hearing this, Anbi and Billy suddenly realized what was happening; the two looked at each other, their faces revealing expressions of sudden realization.
"Nico is jealous." Anbi recalled the movie plots she had seen before and said seriously.
"That's right, we even thought you were really worried about Ye Qingfeng, turns out you're jealous that Mao You and Ye Qingfeng are in the same room!" Billy also joined in the teasing, his tone full of mockery.
Nico's face turned even redder, and she glared at the two of them angrily.
She thought to herself: In the same room, my foot! She was clearly worried that this guy Ye Qingfeng was harboring evil intentions toward Mao You, okay!!
Jealous? How is that possible!
Even if I jumped down and never asked him for Dennies again, I wouldn't be jealous of Mao You!! These two guys!!!
Ye Qingfeng watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Alright, alright, don't bully Sister Nico." Ye Qingfeng walked up and gently patted Nico's shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of doting.
Upon hearing this, the anger on Nico's face eased slightly, but she still said poutingly:
"Hmph, who knows what you and Mao You were doing inside!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Ye Qingfeng's face deepened. He leaned into Nico's ear and whispered, "Sister Nico, do you feel unhappy that I'm with Mao You?"
Nico's face instantly turned red again; she hurriedly took a step back and glared at Ye Qingfeng:
"Who, who is unhappy! I just think it's strange that you two are together!"
"Strange?" Ye Qingfeng deliberately raised an eyebrow. "Then what do you think of us being together?"
Nico was somewhat speechless after being asked this by Ye Qingfeng. She lowered her head and muttered in a low voice:
"I think... I think you two are a very mismatched pair!"
"Mismatched?" Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this.
He looked at Anbi and Billy, who were also looking at Nico with curiosity.
"That's right, Mao You is so small, and you're so big, it's very strange for you two to be together, okay!" Nico raised her head and looked at Ye Qingfeng with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tease, "Then who does Sister Nico think I'm a better match with?"
"Ahhh! I don't know! And I don't want to know!" Nico really couldn't stay any longer; she covered her ears and ran back to her room.
Thinking of Mao You having just fallen asleep, her last bit of reason kept her from slamming the door shut; instead, after slowly closing the door, she threw herself onto the bed.
Her delicate, flushed face was buried tightly in the pillow, emitting muffled hums—simply adorable!
Seeing Nico run back to her room, Ye Qingfeng restrained the playful smile on his face, turned to look at Anbi and Billy, and said, "It's getting late, everyone has had a tiring day, let's all go back to our rooms and rest."
"Makes sense! I'm off!" Billy didn't hesitate at all and turned to return to his room.
"Mm." Anbi responded calmly and quickly walked toward her room.
After the two entered their rooms, Ye Qingfeng began to think about his accommodation problem for the night.
The first choice was definitely to go find Sister Nico; if that really didn't work, he'd go find Anbi and beg for shelter; the worst case would be to just make do in the living room for the night.
He didn't rush to act, but instead went downstairs, took two cups of fuel drink from the refrigerator, and headed straight to the door of Nico's room.
Ye Qingfeng remembered that when she went in, there hadn't been the sound of the door locking, so he placed his hand on the doorknob and pressed down gently.
Sure enough, the door was easily opened by him.
