Chapter 103: Crawling into His Blanket
He turned around and changed direction to open the door. It was the food delivery.
Having not eaten all day, seeing food now made him very hungry.
Sitting in front of the dining table, he felt a bit embarrassed since he was only wearing a shirt. Luckily, the shirt was long enough, making it seem alright.
After dinner, Gu Qimiao saw him go downstairs and come back with a set of bedding. It included only a grass mat and a quilt. He walked over and spread the mat on the empty space beside the bed...
He was going to sleep on the floor? So she was overthinking it...
She watched him silently as he bent down to lay out the mat. It wasn’t even the season for sleeping on mats yet. It was so cold, and the ground was damp. Gu Qimiao softly said, "...Let’s sleep together. It’s too damp on the ground, you’ll get sick."
Shen Yanchen paused his actions, completely surprised that she would suggest sleeping together. He saw her shuffle to the side under the quilt, signaling him to take the other half of the bed, and her dark eyes stared at him unblinkingly.
This kind of opportunity wasn’t something he would pass up. He rolled up the mat, put it aside, threw the quilt onto the bed, and sat down at the edge.
The bed was originally a double bed; both of them slept on the edges with a large space left in the middle.
He lay down with his back to her and turned off the bedside lamp. The room darkened, with only the faint light from outside filtering in, just enough to outline the room’s structure.
Gu Qimiao turned her head and looked. She could just see the back of his head. She tugged at the quilt and fell asleep with a smile on her lips.
Shen Yanchen had been caught in the rain and felt a bit dizzy, falling asleep faster than usual.
