Chapter 483 - 484: Sorry, I Didn’t Hold It Steady
"It’s nothing." Di Mingzhe calmly pulled the quilt back over her legs, asking casually, "Are you sleeping inside or outside?"
For some reason, just hearing him say it made Di Xiaxia’s face flush red, the wording felt so strange!
It was as if they were a familiar couple or husband and wife, asking whether to sleep inside or outside, so embarrassing!
"Um." Di Xiaxia thought for a moment, then hurriedly said, "I’ll sleep inside."
Inside seemed safer, with a wall to rely on!
But wait, wouldn’t having a wall mean there’s no route to escape?
So, Di Xiaxia quickly shook her head, "Oh, no, no, no, I’ll sleep on the outside."
Thinking about it, Di Mingzhe was quite strange, actually preferring the bed against the wall!
Was it because he feared falling off the bed due to bad sleeping posture?
Di Mingzhe frowned, doesn’t that mean he had to sleep inside?
After Di Xiaxia spoke, she kindly curled up her legs to make room for him.
Di Mingzhe didn’t say anything else, but got up to fetch another thin silk quilt from the wardrobe, then turned off the bedroom light, leaving only the projector on.
Sitting on the bed, Di Xiaxia curiously blinked her eyes. She couldn’t help but feel that Di Mingzhe’s every movement exuded a certain homey, good-guy vibe!
She didn’t know why, but his simple series of actions somehow helped her to relax a bit.
But the moment she began to relax, he sat down on the edge of the bed, right next to her.
Di Xiaxia’s heart started to pound again, for no discernible reason, it just thumped wildly!
She watched nervously as Di Mingzhe calmly and gracefully removed his slippers and climbed onto the bed.
Watching his tall and slender figure crawl into the bed while clutching a thin quilt seemed a bit comical to Di Xiaxia, but she didn’t dare to laugh, so she dropped her gaze and pretended not to see it.
But Di Mingzhe was quite considerate, keeping a large distance from her and elegantly sprawled himself under the quilt once he was inside.
Di Xiaxia pursed her lips and casually asked while looking at him sitting on the bed, "Aren’t you sleeping yet?"
After asking that, she wanted to slap herself, why did she have to ask that!
"Pass me the remote." Di Mingzhe held out his hand to her.
"Oh." Di Xiaxia nodded, reached over, and handed him the remote that was on her side of the bed.
As Di Mingzhe stretched out his hand to take it, their hands touched.
Startled, Di Xiaxia quickly let go. Di Mingzhe didn’t get a firm grip, and the remote dropped onto the bed.
Di Mingzhe looked up at her. His deep, dark eyes seemed somewhat displeased. He didn’t pick up the remote that fell on the bed, but just glared at her.
Sadly looking at the remote, Di Xiaxia almost facepalmed!
It’s just a remote. Pick it up if it falls, why is he staring at her!
Finally, having no other choice, Di Xiaxia had to move herself a bit closer, pick up the remote, and give an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, big brother, I didn’t hold it steady."
Di Mingzhe reached out again, this time surprising her by gripping not just the remote, but also her hand.
His big hand was dry, warm, firm, and strong, and Di Xiaxia was stunned.
Before she could even pull her hand away, Di Mingzhe suddenly pulled her with a force.
Caught off guard, she fell straight into his arms.
Di Xiaxia was startled and terrified, struggling to get up, but Di Mingzhe held her tightly.
