Chapter 193: Let Me Hold You As You Sleep
The night was tranquil, and the stars shone brilliantly, with only a few dim lights visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows faintly outlining the vast sea.
Ah Da, having changed into her nightgown, stepped out of the bathroom and saw Qin Yu lying on the bed, absorbed in something on his phone. It was, after all, her first real time sharing a bed with someone, and while her heart wasn’t resistant, it was somewhat nervous and uneasy.
Qin Yu had noticed her the moment she appeared and had been waiting for her to come over, but she stood immobile by the door, seemingly ready to keep standing there.
Putting down his phone, Qin Yu waved her over, "Come here."
Ah Da clutched a corner of her skirt, a trace of hesitation in her eyes. She lowered her head and after a moment’s pause, walked forward determinedly as if to prove she was fearless. She didn’t give Qin Yu her hand but instead climbed into bed on her own.
She pulled the blanket up to her mouth, exposing only her large, glassy eyes that seemed to shimmer like water, "Turn off the lights, I want to sleep."
Her voice was soft, always carrying a tender tone, and slightly unclear in articulation, yet seductively enticing, just like her tender and delicate appearance that seemed so easy to bully, or rather, made one want to bully.
Qin Yu propped himself on his elbow on the pillow, leaning in close to her, his cool, magnetic voice carrying an unclear meaning, "Not so fast, there’s still something that hasn’t been done."
Ah Da’s heart fluttered, feeling somewhat uneasy, she whispered, "What is it?"
Qin Yu’s fingers grazed the fluffy, loose hair on her forehead, trailing down her cheek, his voice low and smooth, much like a night-sea demon skillfully tempting a maiden ashore.
