Chapter 1214 — Who Sleeps on the Sofa?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Hello? Wei Zhao?" The Young Miss answered right away on the other end.
"Mm, it's me. I'm awake, and there's nothing wrong. You and Xiaoshu should get some rest now. I'll stay at Xiaoxiao's place tonight." Wei Zhao said.
"Okay. Then take care of Xiaoxiao. Xiaoshu and I are going to sleep first." Gu Mengyao's voice sounded tired; clearly, she too had been forcing herself to stay awake until now.
Wei Zhao was moved once again. Everyone around him cared for him so much! The Young Miss was not good with words, but she worried about him in her own quiet way.
Feng Xiaoxiao's place had only one small bed and a small sofa in the living room—barely enough to sleep three people. It was clear that Feng Xiaoxiao lived by herself, did not usually let strangers in, and had never had friends before, so no one could possibly have come to visit. Everything here, then, had been prepared for someone living alone.
After the meal, the sleeping arrangements became somewhat awkward. With only one bed, how were they to sleep?
"Xiaoxiao, you should take the bed. Yunyun and I will sleep on the living room floor. The floor isn't dirty—just spread a sheet over it." Wei Zhao suggested.
"Sister Yunyun, you're the guest. How could you sleep on the floor? You take the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor..." Feng Xiaoxiao thought it over and said.
"Xiaoxiao, your health is poor. If you sleep on the floor and catch a chill, that would be bad." Tang Zhi couldn't help laughing. "Sleeping on the floor—are you hoping Wei Zhao will hold you?"
"I... it's not like that!" Feng Xiaoxiao, caught out, instantly turned red.
"Heh, how about I make do with the small sofa in the living room for the night, and let Wei Zhao keep you company, bedding down on the floor beside your bed?" How could Tang Zhi not know what Feng Xiaoxiao was thinking? Although Tang Zhi had been somewhat looking forward to sleeping on the floor together with Wei Zhao, at a moment like this she would not contend over anything with Feng Xiaoxiao!
Heaven only knew how much longer Feng Xiaoxiao could live; and so Tang Zhi would face the final stretch of her life with a spirit of concession and kindness.
"This... how can this be?" In truth, Feng Xiaoxiao was full of longing. Ever since that night by the seaside, when Wei Zhao had watched over her while she slept, she had been thinking about when she might spend another beautiful night with him. And today was a perfect chance.
With Wei Zhao at her side, Feng Xiaoxiao felt especially safe and secure.
"Then it's settled!" Tang Zhi laughed, allowing no argument. "Sleep early—we still have school tomorrow morning!"
With that, Tang Zhi stood up, yawned, and walked toward the sofa.
Feng Xiaoxiao watched Tang Zhi's back and felt a sudden sting in her nose. She could not help feeling she had wronged her. Before, she had played petty little tricks and goaded Tang Zhi into angrily agreeing to a pact with her. But now it was clear that Tang Zhi was a kind-hearted girl. Feng Xiaoxiao found it hard to bear the thought of deceiving her.
"Come on, let's go rest too." Wei Zhao said nothing more. Between him and Tang Zhi, the days ahead were still long; there would be plenty of chances for them to be alone in the future. But with Feng Xiaoxiao, it was one day less with every day that passed.
