Chapter 263 - 263 Tricked l
So every day when she woke up, she was sore all over. Auntie Guan thought they were exercising vigorously every day and often asked her to replenish her energy.
Gu Li was utterly depressed.
One day, after breakfast, she couldn’t stand it anymore and shooed him away: “Go sleep in your master bedroom tonight; the bed is bigger there.”
Mo Shiting flatly refused: “I’m used to sleeping here; I don’t want to change.” “You ”
Gu Li was speechless,”Fine! Since you won’t sleep in that big room of yours, I’ll go sleep there then. You can have the guest room all to yourself.”
The goal achieved, Mo Shiting hooked his lips in a pleasing reply: “As you wish.”
Gu Li:
For some reason, she always felt like she was being tricked.
But even so, that night, Gu Li directly ran off to sleep in the master bedroom.
Unexpectedly, Mo Shiting didn’t follow.
Lying alone on the spacious bed, Gu Li tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Could it be that she was used to the bed?
Couldn’t be, right?
Her sleep quality was always good, the issue of being used to a certain bed wasn’t likely.
If not the bed, then does that mean she was used to the person?
Because he was not there?
Gu Li:” ”
After seriously contemplating for a while, she simply got up, put on her slippers, and went next door.
Mo Shiting had just finished showering. He was planning to find an excuse to go back to the master bedroom to sleep in a while, but before he could dry his hair, there was a knock at the door.
What was this girl up to?
Mo Shiting furrowed his eyebrows, a trace of strangeness sweeping across his deep gaze.
Was she regretting it already and wanted to come back to sleep?
“Knock knock knock…”
“Brother Ting, are you sleeping?”
The girl couldn’t wait for him to open the door, so she simply called out to him.
Mo Shiting then went to open the door while drying his hair.
“What brings you here this late?”
“Hehe, yes indeed.”
Gu Li’s small and nimble body quickly darted in, “I’ve also gotten used to this bed, 1’11 come back to sleep.”
Mo Shiting:
Seeing that she had already climbed into the bed and didn’t seem willing to leave, Mo Shiting felt a throbbing in his temple.
He took his long strides to the edge of the bed, looked down at her with a stern expression: “When you say something, you’ve got to stick to it, go back to the master bedroom.”
Gu Li hugged the quilt tightly and shook her head: “I don’t want to go, I want to sleep here.”
“It was you who wanted to go back.”
“I changed my mind.”
Gu Li answered confidently.
A smile crept onto Mo Shiting’s face, but he still maintained a serious tone: “Then you better think carefully, you can’t change sleeping places anymore.”
“This…”
Gu Li hesitated, her eyes flickering, and then smiled and said: “How about… we play rock-paper-scissors and the loser goes back to sleep?”
“Childish!”
“Brother Ting…”
The girl played coy.
Mo Shiting ignored her, turned around, threw the towel for drying his hair back in the washroom, then picked up the hairdryer to start blow-drying his hair.
Gu Li was lying in bed, listening to the hum of the hairdryer, and yawned involuntarily.
Ahh, it’s really hard to change a person’s habits.
She had been lying in the other room for so long without feeling sleepy at all, but now, after only being here for a while, she’s all drowsy.
Nevermind, sleep comes first.
After Mo Shiting finished blow-drying his hair, he stepped out of the washroom to find the girl laying flat, sound asleep.
This little sleeping piglet.
He shook his head gently, his lips curved slightly, revealing a touch of indulgent expression.
Knowing she wouldn’t sleep well on this side, he decisively picked her up and brought her to the other room.
Just as he put her back on the bed, the girl, who had been deep in sleep, slowly opened her eyes and muttered: “Brother Ting, how could you cheat and carry me away.”
Mo Shiting leaned in to touch her face, teased in a deep voice: “It was you who wanted to come back.”
“Hmph.”
“Hmm…”
He smiled, his eyes slightly narrowed, sketching out a hint of charm, “To sleep with you?”
Gu Li blinked her curled eyelashes, her bright apricot eyes revealing a flash of cunning, “Brother Ting, are you trying to trap me, hmm?”
“What do you mean?”
Mo Shiting played dumb.
Gu Li reached out and twisted his arm, angrily said, “Stop pretending, you’re clearly trying to trap me. But, I’m generous, so I won’t hold it against you.” “Really? Well, thank you, Miss Gu.”
After Mo Shiting finished speaking, he unceremoniously laid down next to her. With a large hand, he pulled her into his embrace again.
“Go to sleep.”
He rubbed her head, gave her a kiss on her forehead, and held her tight.
“Goodnight.”
Gu Li found a comfortable position in his arms and slowly closed her eyes.
That night, she had an exceptionally sound sleep.
Mo Shiting, on the other hand, didn’t have such fortune. After all, having a warm and soft beauty in his arms yet unable to do anything else, was absolutely tormenting.
Despite this, when he woke up the next day, Mo Shiting’s mood was extremely content. He even woke Gu Li from her sleep early in the morning.
“Time to get up and go for a run.”
“Whimper, Mo Shiting you big meanie, I want to sleep.”The girl was terribly put out, barely able to open her eyes. As soon as he woke her, she turned over and went back to sleep.
Mo Shiting glanced at his watch. It was 6:20.
In fact, it wasn’t that early. He usually starts his run at six, so today was delayed by 20 minutes because of her.
“Gu Li ”
Seeing her continue to sleep like a log, Mo Shiting patiently called to her again.
Gu Li was utterly annoyed, “Tang Monk, Tang Monk, Tang Monk.”
Mo Shiting:”???”
How did he resemble Tang Monk in any way?
“If you don’t get up, I’ll carry you to the bathroom.”
“Fine, then sleep.”
It was useless trying to carve a rotten piece of wood, so he gave up.
The living room.
“Young master, it’s raining outside. Are you still going for a run?”
Auntie Guan saw Mo Shiting dressed in sports gear ready to go out and couldn’t help but stop him.
“Raining?”
Mo Shiting was surprised; he hadn’t noticed it.
He walked to the window to look outside and found that it was indeed drizzling.
He simply went back upstairs to the gym instead.
Gu Li slept in until she woke naturally, only to find Mo Shiting was not at home.
They were supposed to leave for A Nation tomorrow, yet she hadn’t even bought a gift for her father. So, she decided to go shopping.
The morning rain had left the air exceptionally fresh.
Gu Li drove to the mall, only to receive a call from Ye Yining.
“Little Pear, I’m not going to A Nation with you tomorrow.”
Unexpecting Ye Yining to change her mind at the last minute, Gu Li was puzzled, “Why? We’ve got everything sorted out, including visas. You don’t have to worry about not being able to go.”
“It’s not that.”
“Then… Could it be because of Sister Qian? Are you not prepared to meet her?”
“No, it’s my face. It seems to have relapsed.”
What?
Hearing that the wounds on Ye Yining’s face were flaring up again, Gu Li completely forgot about shopping and immediately rushed to her house.
On the road, she kept calling Doctor Duan, but couldn’t get through.
Oh, she almost forgot, the doctor was traveling frequently these days and was probably on a flight.
Upon reaching Ye Yining’s house, Gu Li anxiously checked her face. Sure enough, as she had said, the scars that had disappeared were gradually reappearing..
