Chapter 109: Just Came From Afar to Take a Look 2

They're about to fall apart; I really don't know what play they're putting on.

"All right, it's late, no more joking—I'll just go sleep at an inn outside." After Huiqing went in, Shangguan Yun gently and seriously said to me.

Actually, letting him sleep outside alone like this leaves me feeling uneasy; after all, he came all this way just to see me, and it's the middle of the night—it's already past one o'clock.

"Could it be that you came all this way just to take a look at me?" I asked, gazing at Shangguan Yun's beautiful eyes.

Shangguan Yun still smiled and said to me: "Yeah, I just missed you so much I couldn't control myself, so I came. I just wanted to see you, to look at you carefully. If I could hold you while sleeping, that would be the best." At first Shangguan Yun had a serious face, but by the end he started acting like a hooligan—I really can't stand this person.

"Then you should go to sleep early. There are plenty of inns around here; you'll see them as soon as you go out." I still hardened my heart and let him go alone to an inn outside.

Upon hearing my words, Shangguan Yun's face looked a bit unpleasant, full of disappointment; perhaps he still held great hope, hoping I could keep him company.

Seeing him still standing there without reacting, I started urging: "It's late already; why are you just standing there? If you don't leave now, it'll be morning before you get to sleep."

"How about this: I'll stay here tonight and not leave; you keep me company chatting, we can talk all night—okay?" Sometimes I really don't know what's going on in Shangguan Yun's head.

I know, actually he doesn't want to go sleep outside alone; who would travel all this way just to take a look and then leave? Suddenly I felt reluctant.

But going to sleep at an inn with him would seem… I still couldn't let go of the idea. If word got out, that would sound awful.

Traditional views run deep; since middle school, my mother has educated me, forbidding me to sleep with boys.

So I had Shangguan Yun wait here while I ran to the room to get a blanket; sitting outside all night would definitely be cold.
