Chapter 259 - Nothing I Can Do About You

Both parties on both sides of the door were pensive.

Seeing that she really wasn't going to open the door, Yin Shaojie slapped it helplessly and said, "When are you going to calm down? I don't want to sleep on the sofa again tonight…"

It had already been uncomfortable enough for him to sleep on the sofa the previous night.

Even though the suite at the hot spring villa was not bad, the sofa couldn't be compared to his own bed.

Also, he really hated sleeping on the sofa!

He really wanted a good rest now, which meant not sleeping on the sofa anymore.

All would have been good if he hadn't mentioned the sofa. However, since she did, Mu Xiaoxiao called out from the room, "Don't you dare come in! Sleep on the sofa then! Or.. Or, you can just sleep outside!"

Mu Xiaoxiao instantly regretted her words as soon as she said them.

What if Yin Shaojie really went out to sleep in a hotel?

However, words, like water that had been spilled, could not be taken back.

Despite her distress, Mu Xiaoxiao was too embarrassed to withdraw her remark.

She turned around and planted her face against the door, listening for sounds from outside.

Her heart hung in the balance, afraid to hear the sound of Yin Shaojie going out the door.

Luckily, she only heard Yin Shaojie whisper outside the door, "There's nothing I can do about you, huh…".

He then stopped slapping the door and went over to the sofa to lay down.

He pulled out the pillow under his waist and found that it was the one she had used earlier. He held it near his nose and took a sniff. It had a hint of her fragrance.

Yin Shaojie hugged the pillow to his chest. I shall pretend that this is her, for now.

Ever since the both of them started living together, he had gotten used to sleeping with her. He was used to seeing her fluffy head against his chest every morning when he woke up.

Now that he was sleeping alone, the area around his chest felt empty. It felt strange.

Yin Shaojie eyed the door to the bedroom once more, his gaze indescribably longing.

He placed his arm on top of the pillow and sighed.

In the room.

Mu Xiaoxiao sat plastered against the door for a long while. Not hearing any signs of Yin Shaojie going out, the burden in her heart lifted.

Sitting on the floor, she realized that the sky had already darkened, bathing the room in darkness.

She stood up hurriedly and turned on the lights.

She looked around the large room. It looked gigantic and empty with only her in it.

She had never felt such a sensation before!

Could it be because Yin Shaojie wasn't in the room?

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the time. It was only past seven o'clock; it was too early for sleeping.

Oh yeah, how was she going to shower later?

This was indeed a dilemma…

Time flew by.

It was now eleven o'clock at night.

Mu Xiaoxiao opened the door discreetly. She peeked out from behind the door before sticking her head out.

There was no one in the living room.

She then looked towards the study room.

Yeah, the lights were on. Yin Shaojie should be in there.

Thus, she slipped out quickly and ran into the bathroom to shower.

However, afraid that Yin Shaojie would take this opportunity to open the bedroom door, she didn't dare to take too long. She would have to dash back into the bedroom to sleep.

After her shower, she ran back to the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

The living room looked its usual state as though nothing had happened.

However, the door to the study opened.

Yin Shaojie emerged, carrying his iPad. He glanced at the door to the bedroom and smiled, shaking his head.

He then walked over to the sofa and laid down.

Outside the window, a few streaks of lightning suddenly flashed past. Gradually, rain started to pour.

Clad in her pajamas, Mu Xiaoxiao sat with her legs up on the bed in the room. She stared blankly at the weather outside the window as it changed from a little drizzle into a downpour.

The torrent of rain seemed to be cleansing the entire world.
