Did he go out of his way to buy strawberry-flavored ones because he knew that she liked it?
The redness on Mu Xiaoxiao's face intensified as she thought about that .
Just then, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps . That should be Yin Shaojie returning with a hairdryer .
Mu Xiaoxiao panicked instantly . If he noticed how red her face was, wouldn't he know that she had opened the drawer?
Thus, she quickly darted into the shower .
Yin Shaojie heard the sound of the shower door close just as he stepped into the room .
"Xiaoxiao?" he called out to her, puzzled . He looked in the direction of the nightstand subconsciously . Could it be that she had made use of his absence and peeked inside?
He walked over and knocked on the door of the shower . "I've got the hairdryer . What're you doing inside?" he asked .
"I… Can't I go to the toilet!" Mu Xiaoxiao answered, her face still red . She then leaned over the sink and doused her burning face in cold water .
She finally came out after a few minutes .
A pajamas-clad Yin Shaojie was leaning on a pillow on the big bed, looking at his phone .
Seeing that his attention was not on her, Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief . She then took up the hairdryer that was on the table and began to dry her hair .
Yin Shaojie looked up from his phone discreetly and took a glance at her before adjusting his expression to one of nonchalance .
Mu Xiaoxiao's hair was only a little damp at the ends, so it dried in almost no time at all .
Once she got onto the bed and settled down, Yin Shaojie said, "I'm going to switch the lights off . "
"Okay . "
The lights went off, leaving the room in complete darkness .
Yin Shaojie seemed to notice something and looked over at her . He saw a dark silhouette laying really far away from him, and it looked as if she was about to drop off the edge of the bed .
He frowned . Why was this girl sleeping so far away?
"Oi, sleep closer; you're about to fall off . " His alluring voice sounded deeper and even more mesmerizing in the darkness .
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to pretend that she hadn't heard him, but she remembered his tyrannical personality and scooted closer just a little bit .
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes . She looked like a squirming caterpillar .
Was there really any difference between moving that little and not moving at all?
The pair had always slept together in the condominium . Because Mu Xiaoxiao had a bad sleeping posture, she always ended up in his embrace when she woke up in the morning .
Perhaps he was too used to them cuddling with each other, for he felt that it was weird that she was so far away from him .
This time, Yin Shaojie reached out unhesitatingly and pulled her into his embrace .
"Don't move!" he said unhappily when he realized that she was trying to move away .
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped moving at his command . Her body felt stiff as her face became increasingly hot .
W-What was he trying to do?
Was he going to…
She didn't dare to think further — it was too embarrassing!
"Yin Shaojie, don't you dare…" Don't you dare do anything weird!
Before she could finish her sentence, Yin Shaojie pressed her head against his chest . "Stop talking . Go to sleep," he said .
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless .
The atmosphere in the room relaxed at once, its tranquility heightened by the night .
Mu Xiaoxiao's ear was pressed against his muscular chest . Not only could she feel the warmth of his body heat, but she could also hear his powerful heartbeat clearly .
Bdump, bdump, bdump…
Mu Xiaoxiao listened to it as though she was hypnotized . It gave off a soothing feeling, and she liked the sound of it .
After an indeterminate amount of time .
Perhaps it was the excessive warmth of his embrace or his steady hypnotic heartbeat, but she soon fell into a slumber .
She entered a dreamland of pink, strawberry-shaped bubbles .
