Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 538 - 535

He moved over, placing himself in the corridor by the door.

If there were any slightest abnormal sound inside, he could rush in immediately.

He did not feel at ease having Wen Xian alone in a room with a stranger, even if it was a—seemingly frail and helpless woman.

Meanwhile, inside the room.

Since it was quite late, after one in the morning, Wen Xian, seeing that the girl on the bed also seemed tired, started to feel at ease as she transitioned from weakness to drowsiness.

She poured another glass of water, placed it on the bedside table for her, and finally settled down on the small sofa next to the bed.

"Try to sleep now, don’t worry, I’ll be with you all night,"

Wen Xian said gently.

But Ruan Yiyi on the bed looked at her with a soft gaze, also carrying a tinge of apology: "...I’m sorry, I really am troubling you."

Wen Xian waved her hand: "It’s no trouble."

As she spoke, she pulled up the thin blanket over her.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and pretend to sleep, the woman on the bed slowly spoke:

"It must be uncomfortable there, come sleep in the bed..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xian, who had just closed her eyes, fluttered her eyelashes, then slowly opened her eyes again.

What... did she say?

To come to the bed, and sleep with her?

Wen Xian’s gaze deepened a fraction, and when she looked at her again, a faint smile appeared on her lips:

"No need, I’m restless in my sleep and might press onto you."

However, after she spoke, the frail woman on the bed slowly lifted the blanket and moved further in, then looked at her with a pure and tender gaze, softly saying:

"Come over here, it’s alright, I’m very still in my sleep."

Speaking, she seemed worried that Wen Xian wouldn’t come, pausing for a moment then awkwardly murmured:

"You’re a girl too, it’s already so hard for you to take care of me. If you spend the night on the sofa, I’d really feel bad..."

Wen Xian watched her expression and movements without a trace of emotion.

Finally, she took a deep breath, shrugged her shoulders: "Alright then, just don’t worry about me pressing onto you."

"How could I."

She began to smile gently, sweetly.

Wen Xian: "..."

Wait, what’s going on, why does it seem like she can see a hint, a faint... expectation in her eyes?

The night deepened.

Wen Xian was lying beside her bed, lying flat and straight, with her hands folded on her abdomen.

She was covered with a blanket, not planning to share the same cover with her.

It’s not that she wasn’t cautious around strangers, but since she hadn’t found any weapon on her, and the girl was sickly, she, a sanda champion, could handle any situation.

Initially, she slept soundly, motionless, while also being aware of any movements beside her.

Gradually, Wen Xian intentionally made herself seem asleep, even adding a slight snore.

It was then, the woman beside her started to move slowly.

Wen Xian: "..."

Continued pretending to sleep.

The woman beside her did nothing but gently pull over the blanket that covered her and draped it over Wen Xian.

Afterward, she lay back down, snuggled closer, her head resting on Wen Xian’s shoulder, and closed her eyes.

Wen Xian: "..."

She opened her eyes and looked at the light from the lamp in the yard, casting its glow into the room, and silently sighed in her heart.

She should not have thought too much, right...

Perhaps all girls are like this, it’s just—
