Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 287: Really Asleep?

Gu Ningyue nodded, her pretty face turning the color of a pig liver.

Even though it wasn’t Ling Tianyou who kissed her, her heartbeat nearly leaped out of her throat at that moment, almost to the point of exploding.

Why is this happening? Why is my heart beating so fast?

Looking at his fiancée’s adorable face, Ling Tianyou couldn’t resist stealing another kiss by her lips, "Good girl, listen to me. I don’t like it when you’re in danger and I can’t get there in time. I really don’t like it, understand?"

Gu Ningyue nodded again, "Uh-huh, I got it. Next time... next time don’t do this again."

Her voice was like a whisper, so soft that if Ling Tianyou hadn’t listened carefully, he might not have heard what she was saying.

Normally like a little bully, is she going to be like this now?

Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but chuckle softly, he reached out to caress her warm cheek: "Alright, next time before I kiss you, I’ll tell you in advance."

Gu Ningyue angrily widened her eyes, even forgetting to swat his hand away: "You!"

Ling Tianyou’s smile deepened: "What about me? Do you want to praise me for being considerate? No need, I think so too."

Gu Ningyue looked so adorable! If he weren’t injured, he would have wanted to devour her right now.

Gu Ningyue slapped his hand away with a "smack" and turned away, pouting, "I don’t feel like dealing with you."

Watching her swaying silhouette, Ling Tianyou felt even more tempted, hesitated for a moment, and then started picking up the things from the floor and placing them back in their original spots: "Alright, I’m not teasing you anymore. You go change your bandages! I’ll tidy up a bit for you, tomorrow I’ll have someone come clean up."

Gu Ningyue huffed and went to the bathroom with her things.

Famous Master Ling from A City tidying up a room himself, you probably couldn’t find another one like him in the whole A City!

But when she closed the door, Gu Ningyue suddenly felt a twang of doubt in her heart.

There shouldn’t be anything here that Ling Tianyou couldn’t see, right? That thing is already gone, seems like there’s nothing that can’t be seen by Ling Tianyou.

No, her phone is outside!

Gu Ningyue opened the door and came out, snatching her phone from the table.

Ling Tianyou glanced at her, "Afraid I’ll peek?"

Gu Ningyue froze, "I’m not afraid! I just thought it would be convenient to look at it later."

Night had already fallen, if Lin Ruixian happened to call her and Ling Tianyou saw it, how could she explain herself?

After returning to the bathroom, Gu Ningyue set her phone to silent mode and placed it on the washing machine.

"This isn’t right! It’s just an opposite-sex friend, why does it seem like I’m sneaking around?"

Gu Ningyue muttered to herself while changing her bandages.

Though Lin Ruixian liked her, besides the Blood Jade situation, they didn’t have much interaction otherwise.

Even the time spent together was kept at an appropriate distance.

Why is she afraid of Ling Tianyou knowing? Even if Lin Ruixian calls, it’s no problem if Ling Tianyou hears it.

Thinking this through, Gu Ningyue changed her bandages and switched her phone back on.

Five minutes later, Gu Ningyue had changed into pajamas and came out with her phone.

"All done?"

In those brief ten minutes, Ling Tianyou had restored the room to its original state.

Of course, some things were placed differently than Gu Ningyue had arranged them, but it looked better than when she’d initially come in.

Gu Ningyue nodded: "You were so fast."

Ling Tianyou gave her a light look, "Don’t you know you’re not supposed to say a man was fast?"

Gu Ningyue paused, her freshly recovering face blushed again: "You’re such a flirt, that’s not what I meant!"

Watching Gu Ningyue, Ling Tianyou slowly stood up: "Then what did you mean? Share with me?"

He brushed his hand against her soft hair, gently twining it around his fingers: "Hmm?"

His eyes were as deep as the sea, causing Ningyue’s heart to skip a beat; how could a man be born looking this good?

He seemed like Lady Nuwa’s masterpiece, crafted to make others feel inferior.

"I meant you were quick at tidying up, not... not anything else..."

Ling Tianyou chuckled softly, slowly cornering her, "Really?"

His voice was as tempting as a devil’s whisper, drawing people in without realizing.

Leaning against the cool wall, Ningyue’s face grew hotter: "What are you doing?"

"Mwah!" Ling Tianyou kissed her on the forehead: "What are you saying?"

"I... I said what are you doing?" Gu Ningyue momentarily lost her wits, replying blankly.

"Mwah!" Ling Tianyou pecked her cheek, "What? I didn’t hear you!"

"I said... Ling Tianyou, you’re teasing me!" Gu Ningyue suddenly realized, pressing a hand against Ling Tianyou’s chest: "It’s late, you should go!"

"Tsk~" Ling Tianyou pouted, a bit displeased at not kissing the beauty: "I’m not leaving, tonight, I’ll sleep here!"

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, thinking she must be hearing things, instinctively asking again: "What did you say?"

Ling Tianyou reached out to touch her face: "I said you aren’t going home to sleep. I didn’t say I wouldn’t stay here with you, right?"

Gu Ningyue: "..." She surprisingly couldn’t refute it!

Looking at Gu Ningyue’s expression, Ling Tianyou chuckled softly, reassuringly saying: "Relax, I won’t do anything, I’m tired too, you sleep first! I’ll go shower."

Without waiting for Gu Ningyue to speak, he released her and familiarly went to the room next door for a bathrobe, then headed into Ningyue’s room bathroom.

From start to finish, Gu Ningyue seemed rooted to the spot.

Her mind was filled with one thought: beast, definitely a beast, bullying her even when she’s injured, beast!

Fifteen minutes later, when Ling Tianyou came out of the bathroom, Gu Ningyue was already nestled under the covers.

She wrapped herself tightly, her back turned to him, without a sound, as though asleep.

And her phone, was placed quietly charging on the bedside cabinet, just as silent as her.

Ling Tianyou curled his lips, reached out to turn off the room’s light, slowly lifting the blanket and sliding into bed.

This was the first time he and Gu Ningyue shared a bed since living together, giving Ling Tianyou an indescribable sense of joy.

Feeling the warmth behind her, Ning Yue’s fingers involuntarily clenched.

Would he really do something to her?

So many beauties adore him; he shouldn’t be desperate enough to make a move on a patient like her!

As she contemplated, a voice followed, like Heavenly Sound yet ringing like Hell’s call in her ears: "Really asleep?"
