Chapter 1696 - Climbing into Bed (1/2)

Ye Qianqian had just laid down on the bed when she heard a knock on the door from outside.

Shen Zhilie held the blanket in his arms. He looked at the door and knocked twice before pulling his hand back.

What am I doing?

He had only thought as far as to knock the door. What was he going to do after that?

Just as Shen Zhilie was about to disregard everything and change his mind, the door opened.

Ye Qianqian looked at Shen Zhilie. When she noticed the blanket bundled in his arms, she blinked and asked, “What is it?”

“Um, if you gave your blanket to me, what are you using to sleep?”

“I’m using the bed! It’s fine. I just increased the temperature of the air conditioner.”

“That won’t do. Increasing the temperature is of no use. The effects of sleeping without a blanket will still linger. You’ll likely catch a chill.”

I’m not so weak to catch a chill so easily…

Ye Qianqian thought to herself. When she caught Shen Zhilie’s expression, she recalled the previous consequences of the chill she caught due to not drying her hair.

She swallowed the words she had been about to utter and said, “I think it’ll be fine. Won’t it be easier for you to catch a chill while sleeping outside?”

Shen Zhilie’s heart skipped a beat. An audacious thought suddenly crossed his mind.

As he stared at her, he couldn’t bring himself to vocalize it.

He looked down at the blanket and said, “I’m a man. I’ll be fine. Let me bring in this blanket in. It’s quite heavy.”

Ye Qianqian had no response.

What a stubborn man!

She had already said her piece. Couldn’t he just go with the flow and say something else?

Why did he have to keep harping on the blanket?

Ye Qianqian felt a little annoyed. She had the urge to crack his head open to see for herself what he was thinking.

She clenched her jaw and moved aside. After Shen Zhilie laid the blanket on the bed, he didn’t seem in a hurry to leave.

He slowly spread the blanket on the bed and smoothened it out—a process that took close to a minute to accomplish.

Ye Qianqian felt uneasy. She stood by the door for some time before finally gently closing it.
