C24 They Would Sleep Together!

Before long, Shi Qian began to struggle with her breathing, her delicate brows furrowing as she emitted a faint moan. She pushed gently against his chest with her small hand.

The sweetness of the girl was something Shaang Sizhan relished, and it took him a while to finally release her. He gazed at her beautiful face, took a deep breath, and then stood up. He tenderly tucked her in with the blanket before turning to walk away.

Shaang Sizhan had only taken a couple of steps when a loud 'thud' sounded from behind him. He spun around to see Shi Qian had rolled off the bed onto the floor, yet she remained asleep.

"Qian!" Shaang Sizhan dashed back, swiftly lifting her from the floor and placing her back on the bed. He glared at her petite face and chided sharply, "Don't move!"

Shi Qian couldn't hear his words. As soon as Shaang Sizhan approached, she rolled over to the other side, looking as though she might tumble off again at any moment.

Shaang Sizhan watched her, surprised to discover that she was such a restless sleeper. He hesitated for a moment before his long fingers began to slowly unbutton his shirt. Then, he slid under the blanket beside her and assertively pulled her into his arms.

Suddenly, the girl settled down. Her face nestled against his chest, motionless, she slept in utter tranquility.

With his beloved in his arms, Shaang Sizhan was anything but calm. A fiery sensation engulfed every cell in his body as he gazed down at the enticing face of the girl nestled against him. He held her close and kissed her for a long while before finally releasing her.

The following morning, Shi Qian awoke groggily. She raised her hand to rub her eyes and then felt the weight around her waist and the soft breathing near her ear.

She turned her head abruptly and was met with the sight of Shaang Sizhan's devilishly handsome face and his incredibly sexy chest. Her eyes widened in shock, and she swallowed hard.

What was happening?

Why was she in bed with Master Zhan?

What had transpired?

Her mind swirled with questions. She tried to remember, but all she could recall was having a drink with Shaang Sizhan in the wine cellar the night before. Beyond that, her memory was a blank.

After calming down for a bit, she looked mortified. Her hand, hidden beneath the blanket, clutched Shaang Sizhan's arm, intending to pull it away before she made a quick escape.

Suddenly, a voice commanded, "Don't move."

Shi Qian froze in place, her gaze locked on him without blinking.

Had the devil himself awakened?

Shaang Sizhan opened his eyes halfway, his expression devilishly charming and lazy, "You were restless last night, and now you're restless again upon waking."

Shi Qian was speechless.

She averted her gaze, too embarrassed to meet his eyes, "Master Zhan, why... why are you in my room?"

"What do you think?"

Shi Qian replied awkwardly, "I can't seem to remember, that's why I'm asking you."

She bit her lip, then ventured another question, "We didn't do anything... inappropriate after drinking, did we?" She couldn't even finish her sentence.

Shaang Sizhan chuckled, cutting her off, "How do you feel?"

"I..." Shi Qian shifted slightly. Apart from the weight of his arm around her waist, she didn't notice anything else.

Shaang Sizhan gave her a pointed look and added, "If something had happened, do you think you'd be awake right now?"

Shi Qian fell silent.

With three lines of frustration on her forehead, she muttered, "I'm never drinking again."

"You shouldn't have had even one drink."

One drink knocked her out?!

Shi Qian's eyes widened as she looked up at him incredulously, "One drink did me in?"

Shaang Sizhan remained silent, but his amused expression said it all.

Shi Qian questioned, "That wine... it wasn't tampered with, was it?"

Shaang Sizhan's lips curled into a smirk. "Or perhaps you'd like to try something else tonight?"

"Uh... let's not."
