Chapter 35
At eleven-thirty, Huo Tingshen finished his work and went to the window to smoke.
When he looked down, he saw that the lawn outside Wen Qing's room was illuminated by the light reflected in her room.
He tilted his head to look at the time on the wall. It was so late. Or had Tingren not left yet?
After some hesitation, he put out the cigarette and went downstairs to Wen Qing's room.
He knocked on the door. No one answered.
He put his hand on the doorknob and gave it a gentle push. The door was unlocked.
He looked into the room and saw that Tingren wasn't there.
Instead, she was lying on the bed with her headphones on, one hand holding the book, the other holding the pen, nibbling on the tip of the pen while she wrote something in the book.
The hair at the side of her forehead, along with her gentle movements, would occasionally flutter around her ears.
He smiled charmingly. This girl who was seriously reading a book was truly very beautiful.
She did not notice him as he entered the room.
When he reached the bed, he looked down at her textbook.
She was solving a difficult problem with high numbers.
He stood there for two minutes, and she finally finished.
She pursed her lips into a smile, rolled over, and was about to stretch when she saw a person standing next to the bed.
Before she could see who it was, she let out a sharp cry and quickly flipped over to the other side of the bed.
It looked like she was about to fall under the bed.
Huo Tingshen quickly jumped onto the bed and grabbed her.
She took a deep breath and put half of her head in his arms. She looked at him and said, "You... Why are you here? "
Huo Tingshen tilted his head and smiled. "This is your catchphrase."
His handsome appearance caused her heart to tremble.
Thinking about it this way, last time she had been drunk and pounced on him, it hadn't been a loss.
After all, he didn't only have money, he also had looks.
In fact, she had earned it.
"Did I scare you?"
Wen Qing, who was lost in her thoughts, quickly sat up from his lap and hid herself behind the bed. She then took off the earphones in her ears.
"It's the middle of the night, and there's someone suddenly standing by the head of the bed, how can I not be scared," she said with furrowed brows. "Mr. Huo, do you not even knock on the door when you enter other people's room?"
"I did. You didn't hear it."
She picked up her earphones and held it for a moment. "I was listening to the spoken English, so I didn't hear anything."
He raised his eyebrows, "Listening to English and doing high math? You really are a weirdo. Can't you distract us this way? "
"Yes, but in real life, who can concentrate on something without being disturbed?"
"So, you are deliberately training yourself to do two things at once."
She did not answer, but instead asked, "Is there something that you want to talk to me about?"
"It's okay, I saw the light in your room upstairs was still on. I knew you weren't asleep, so I came down to see if Tingren was still studying."
"Tingren left at 9 o'clock."
Huo Tingshen picked up her book and flipped through it.
The two of them sat on the bed and chatted, and she felt a little awkward.
Just as he was thinking about whether he should get off the bed or force him out with the excuse that he needed to rest, he suddenly spoke up.
"Didn't anyone tell you before? You look very charming when you study."
Her face was slightly red. To suddenly get praised in such a ma
er, she felt a bit … He couldn't bear it.
She shook her head. "No."
"Looks like I'm the first. You like science?" He turned the pages and glanced at her.
She nodded. "Yes."
"The book you bought is the summary of the problems with high numbers over the years. There are some questions in this book that even your teacher would find difficult. "
She scratched her forehead. "Um, Mr. Huo, time …"
"Why didn't you do this question?"
He pointed to one of the topics she had vacated.
She looked at it and shrugged. "I can't solve this problem."
"I can, do you want me to teach you?"
She nodded repeatedly.
Huo Tingshen patted the seat beside him: "Come here."
She spun around and sat next to him.
He placed the book on his lap, picked up the pen she had been nibbling on, and began to teach her how to solve problems.
Huo Tingshen gave her a solution in only a few minutes.
She was suddenly enlightened on the side.
He handed her the pen. "Count it out for yourself."
She sat upright and took the book and pen. Following the instructions he taught her, she soon came to an answer.
She gave a joyful smile and turned to look at him, "Mr. Huo, so you're actually this powerful."
Huo Tingshen raised his eyebrows proudly: "Being able to do 80% of the questions in this book, you are already quite amazing."
She pouted. "Why do I feel like Mr. Huo is indirectly praising himself?"
He proudly said, "I have the qualifications. If you have anything that you don't know, you can ask me."
"Then... Can you explain this to me? "
Huo Tingshen glanced at it and quickly explained his thoughts to her.
He spoke earnestly, and she listened earnestly.
"..."
Early in the morning, her alarm clock rang. She was in a daze from sleep. She wanted to turn around and touch her phone, but she found that someone had wrapped around her waist.
Behind her, a warm body was sticking closely to her.
Her mind buzzed as she realized something.
Right at this time, Huo Tingshen's voice sounded behind his head: "You didn't turn off the alarm clock? "Very noisy."
Wen Qing sat up and turned around to look at him.
Huo Tingshen's lazy gaze fell on her face, "Good morning."
"Morning... "Good morning." She blushed and looked away.
She was crazy. Last night he had taught her the last question and she had finished it and wanted to show it to him, only to find that he had fallen asleep in her bed.
She looked at him and thought he looked strangely handsome as he slept.
She had thought at the time, God is so unfair, beautiful people, even sleeping is like art.
She had meant to wake him up after a few furtive glances and let him go back.
But somehow, she too had fallen asleep.
She had no idea why they had slept in such a position at the foot of the bed.
Huo Tingshen pointed in the direction of her cell phone.
She rushed over, picked up her cell phone, and turned off the alarm.
He sat up and stretched. "This is my first time learning to fall asleep. It seems that the enthusiasm you have for your studies is very contagious."
She scratched between her eyebrows. "About that …" "Last night. Oh, thank you."
He smiled and got down from the bed. He said as he walked towards the door: "If it wasn't for me then you would have fallen to the ground. I will accept your thanks."
She blushed a little as he opened the door and went out. That wasn't what she wanted to thank him for.
When Huo Tingshen went out, Butler Tong and the others were shocked when they saw him coming out of that room.
Everyone greeted him immediately. Huo Tingshen was in a good mood as he said, "Go and busy yourself."
He went upstairs.
I woke up in the middle of the night and saw her sleeping at the foot of the bed like a meek cat.
He wanted to carry her back to the bed, but she rolled over to the end of the bed.
Immediately, he laid at the end of the bed, blocking her path.
She rolled over and snuggled into his arms.
He took her in his arms and decided, in that instant, that he would not leave tonight.
And for the first time, he found it nice to spend the night in the same bed with a woman.
