After the round of lightning and thunder ended, Gu Qingcheng stroked Yun Liuli's head and said, "Alright, go lie down on the bed. I still have some work to do. I'll accompany you after I'm done, okay?"
Actually, Gu Qingcheng's plan was to sit here and work for the entire night, as long as Yun Liuli had a good rest.
The young lady nodded. Afraid that Gu Qingcheng would go back on his word, she obediently climbed onto Gu Qingcheng's bed.
She covered herself with the thin blanket that was filled with Gu Qingcheng's scent. She stared at Gu Qingcheng, who was sitting at the table handling his work, feeling an indescribable sweetness in her heart.
It was said that men who were serious were the most handsome. Yun Liuli's heart raced as she watched Gu Qingcheng work on the computer screen. His handsome face was taut, and his eyes appeared increasingly unfathomable because of his seriousness. Gu Qingcheng was really the most handsome man in the world!
There was another round of lightning.
Yun Liuli shivered under the blanket. The blush on her face from being able to sleep with Gu Qingcheng tonight had mostly disappeared. "Uncle Qingcheng, are you not done yet?"
Gu Qingcheng looked up and saw the young lady looking at him with her large, watery eyes.
Thunder and lightning were raging outside the window. Even though the room was brightly lit, perhaps the young lady was still afraid …
Gu Qingcheng sighed, closed his laptop, and walked towards the bed.
He sat by the bed, helped Yun Liuli lie down, and covered her with the blanket. "Sleep! Uncle Qingcheng will watch you sleep here!"
"Uncle Qingcheng, aren't you going to sleep?" Yun Liuli gazed at Gu Qingcheng with her large, black eyes, asking innocently.
"I still have work to do, but I'll watch you sleep before I go back to work. Don't worry and sleep!" Gu Qingcheng patted Yun Liuli's arm through the blanket as if he was coaxing a child, coaxing her gently again, "Sleep!"
Yun Liuli closed her eyes, feeling Gu Qingcheng's scent lingering in her nostrils. She could feel the strength of his gentle pat on her arm, and the sound of the heavy rain hitting the glass window. This feeling was too blissful for Yun Liuli. She almost couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning flashed outside the window, followed by a drum-like sound. Yun Liuli was so frightened that she burrowed into Gu Qingcheng's arms. "Uncle Qingcheng, I'm scared!"
The warm and fragrant young lady threw herself into Gu Qingcheng's arms, and her sobbing voice softened Gu Qingcheng's heart.
He raised his head and looked at the thunderstorm that was knocking against the floor-to-ceiling windows. He gently hugged Yun Liuli. "It's okay! Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"Uncle Qingcheng, can you sleep with me? I'm so scared when I'm alone!" Yun Liuli's voice was soft and tender, sounding like a crying child, making it hard for him to reject her.
It was fine for Gu Qingcheng to let go of his work, but Yun Liuli thought that she was a seven-year-old child. She was, after all, a grown lady, and Gu Qingcheng was put in a difficult position.
"Uncle Qingcheng …" Yun Liuli looked up at Gu Qingcheng with watery eyes, looking pitiful like a puppy about to be abandoned by its owner. "I'm scared …"
In the end, Gu Qingcheng still couldn't bear to do that. He nodded and agreed. "Alright, I'll accompany you!"
Gu Qingcheng lifted the blanket, and Yun Liuli immediately shifted in. She looked at Gu Qingcheng with her big, watery eyes in anticipation.
He reached out and turned off the overhead light, leaving only a small night-light on, and lay down.
"Uncle Qingcheng, you're so nice!"
Taking the opportunity while they were talking, Yun Liuli leaned over and wrapped her injured arm around Gu Qingcheng's chest, pressing her little face against Gu Qingcheng's arm.
Gu Qingcheng's body tensed up slightly, but he couldn't say anything too cruel to ask Yun Liuli to stay away from him.
"Go to sleep!" Gu Qingcheng turned and said to Yun Liuli, then closed his eyes.
"Goodnight, Uncle Qingcheng!"
After saying that, the young lady looked like she was really going to sleep.
"Boom!"
The thunder was still rumbling.
The young lady simply hugged Gu Qingcheng's arm, pressing herself even closer to Gu Qingcheng.
He could vaguely smell the young lady's fragrance, and he could feel the young lady's warm and fragrant body on his arm. Gu Qingcheng was destined to have a sleepless night.
Lying on the same big bed as Yun Liuli, Gu Qingcheng couldn't sleep well. In a daze, he seemed to have had a dream in his half-awake state, dreaming that Yun Liuli had kissed him.
He seemed to know that it was a dream, so he indulged himself in the dream, responding to Yun Liuli's kiss, even turning over and pressing her under his body to dote on her. He saw Yun Liuli's beautiful smile blossoming seductively. He didn't know if her clear and bright eyes were looking at him with mockery or sarcasm.
She seemed to be saying, "Didn't you say that you can't possess my young body? What are you doing now?"
Her gaze pierced his heart, and Gu Qingcheng opened his eyes abruptly, his breathing heavy.
He turned his head and saw that Yun Liuli was hugging his arm, sleeping soundly.
Recalling how he indulged himself in the dream, Gu Qingcheng raised his hand and pressed his forehead. It was only then that he realized that his forehead was covered in sweat.
Pulling his arm out from Yun Liuli's grasp, Gu Qingcheng went to the bathroom in the guest room. He turned on the tap, wanting to wash away the messy dream with warm water.
But the moment he closed his eyes, he saw the scene of him doting on Yun Liuli in the dream. He gritted his cheeks. How could he have such terrifying thoughts toward Yun Liuli?
After taking a shower and returning to the bedroom, Gu Qingcheng could no longer sleep peacefully by Yun Liuli's side.
He walked to the bed and bent over to tuck Yun Liuli in. Looking at Yun Liuli's exquisite side profile as she slept soundly, his Adam's apple vibrating slightly. The scene from the dream darted into his mind, almost driving Gu Qingcheng crazy.
He straightened his body, feeling annoyed at himself for having such thoughts toward a child. That dream was too …
That night, Gu Qingcheng didn't dare to leave, nor did he dare to sleep again. He just sat on the sofa in the bedroom, silently handling his work.
But that night, Yun Liuli had a good sleep. When she woke up, she didn't see Gu Qingcheng in the room.
Knowing that Gu Qingcheng had the habit of waking up early, Yun Liuli's lips curled up. After all, she had slept on the same bed as Gu Qingcheng last night.
This was considered an improvement. Last night, she pretended to be asleep, and when she heard Gu Qingcheng's breathing gradually become lighter, she even secretly kissed him.
Yun Liuli didn't dare to be too obvious. She was a seven-year-old girl now, and it wouldn't be good for her to give herself away if she did too much.
What she wanted to do was to make use of her young girl's intelligence to break through the barriers between her and Gu Qingcheng bit by bit. By the time he realized that she wasn't a seven-year-old child, Yun Liuli was confident that everything would already be done.
Yun Liuli washed up with one hand. When she came out of the bedroom, Gu Qingcheng was no longer in the huge apartment. Only Auntie Li was bent over and mopping the floor.
"Auntie Li, where's Uncle Qingcheng?" Yun Liuli asked.
"Xiao Liuli, you're up!" Auntie Li smiled lightly. She placed the mop at the side, washed her hands, and brought Yun Liuli breakfast.
