Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 196: A Sleepless Night Destined by Fate

She retracted her gaze and stared at the empty space by the bedside, unable to deny a certain fact.

Having gotten used to the little one sleeping beside her, now that he’s not there, everything feels off.

It’s like sleeping with a body pillow every night and suddenly one night without it, insomnia follows and needs time to adapt.

Indeed, habits are truly terrifying.

Gu Jin lay back down on the bed, closed her eyes, even though she wasn’t sleepy, she needed to get used to being alone in a room.

Actually, it’s not just her who isn’t used to it.

In another bedroom, An Mingji hadn’t gone to bed at all.

He changed into thin home clothes and stood by the window, arms crossed, motionless.

Were it not for his long eyelashes still trembling, one might think he was a sculpture.

In an unfamiliar environment, without Gu Jin by his side, An Mingji also felt a void in his heart.

He really wanted to hug a pillow and knock on the door of the other room.

But that’s unrealistic.

He’s no longer an ignorant young boy.

After standing for who knows how long, An Mingji withdrew his distant gaze, turned around, and lay down on the bed.

This night, neither of them was destined to sleep well.

The next day, Gu Jin opened the door with dark circles under her eyes.

The door to the next room also opened from the inside, revealing An Mingji with matching dark circles.

Seeing each other, both realized the other hadn’t slept well.

Gu Jin forced a smile on her face, "Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer?"

An Mingji pursed his lips tightly, speaking out with grievance, "Couldn’t sleep without Sister Jin."

"..."

He voiced what Gu Jin wanted to say.

A low sigh sounded, mixed with indescribable emotions.

Gu Jin pulled out the packed suitcase, moved towards the living room, and placed it on the floor, "Wash up and eat, we’ll take the bus back shortly."

"Okay."

An Mingji went to the bathroom, tidied himself up, and returned looking like a lively and handsome young man, assuming one ignores the dark circles under his eyes.

They had breakfast downstairs, and while heading to the bus station, Gu Jin handed An Mingji an apple she retrieved from her space, instructing him to eat it all.

While he obediently bit into the apple, she called Qiu Qianghai on her phone, informing him that the grain should be in the warehouse.

Qiu was naturally shocked, but Gu Jin didn’t have the patience to explain and hung up, telling him to check the warehouse directly.

Due to both having had a poor night’s sleep, they dozed off unknowingly after boarding the return bus to the county.

An Mingji was the first to wake, watching Gu Jin asleep against his shoulder, his freshly awakened, dazed eyes changing to a soft gentleness, with the corners of his lips curving in a gentle arc.

The beautiful, warm moments are always fleeting.

After the ticket conductor announced the address, Gu Jin opened her confused and sleepy eyes.

Arriving at the county, they transferred to the bus heading to town.

When they returned to Qingshan Village, the sun was shining its brightest from overhead.

Their attire made them stand out, drawing the village children to watch.

However, upon recognizing them, the kids dispersed like frightened beasts.

Such a scene left Gu Jin amused.

It seemed her previous actions left a lasting impression on the village children, a lesson they remembered vividly.

An Mingji, however, remained expressionless, indifferent.

Regarding the village kids, whether they had bullied him or not, he maintained an attitude of indifference.

Indifference means it’s none of his business, he doesn’t care, recognize, or emphasize it, nor does it ever catch his eye.
