Chapter 322: Is Baili Xie Crooked? (2)_1
Dugu Qianye had already come out of the disoriented infatuation from just a moment ago, glanced at him, and said, "What do you think?"
Seeing Dugu Qianye’s gaze, he knew there was no hope for today. He walked over, hugged her, and sat down in the chair, saying, "That bet..."
"I’m confident about it, don’t worry," Dugu Qianye interrupted as soon as he mentioned the bet again.
"I know, I mean, just focus on the competition, it doesn’t matter whether you lose or win." Zi Xiao buried his head in the crook of her neck, "No matter the result, he won’t be seeing the sun for several days."
"Uh..." Dugu Qianye stiffened at Zi Xiao’s action and felt a sense of comfort when she heard his words. "Yeah, I got it."
The room fell silent for a moment, filled only with the sound of their breathing. However, while Zi Xiao was enjoying the hard-won sweetness, Dugu Qianye was thinking about the upcoming competition. If Zi Xiao knew, he would probably be annoyed to death.
As the sky gradually darkened, Zi Xiao saw that Dugu Qianye had actually fallen asleep in his arms. He smiled helplessly and carried her to bed, carefully removed her shoes, and pulled the blanket over her. Watching her sleep soundly, he debated for a while before finally taking off his own shoes, slipping under her blanket, and with a wide arm, he drew her into his embrace. Seeing her nuzzle into a comfortable position in his arms, with her prolonged breaths spilling onto his chest, he suddenly felt he was looking for a form of sweet torment. However, knowing that she could sleep so peacefully by his side, he still felt a sense of satisfaction.
Dugu Qianye had been thinking about the upcoming matches, recalling the people who had advanced today. She hadn’t slept well since arriving on Yuling Continent and, smelling the faint scent of pine on Zi Xiao, she fell asleep while her thoughts wandered. His presence enveloped her in the dream, allowing her to sleep soundly.
