21. Night Intrusion (1)

“Vixen, are you asleep?”

The voice of the visitor was cautious, the knock on the door was so faint that it sounded like a little mouse made it. Murong Yan didn’t expect it to be just Yu Qingjia, so he decided to close his eyes again angrily, and ignore it.

Yu Qingjia lay by the door and listened carefully to the movement inside, it was quiet, but she always felt that she had missed something and must have heard wrongly. So she put her ear closer to the door. She was trying to stretch her neck when the door in front of her suddenly jerked open. Yu Qingjia’s body suddenly lost its support and her whole body lunged forward.

She had just fallen halfway when she was supported by a hand, this hand is slender and white, with well proportioned knuckles. It was so beautiful that even a woman like Yu Qingjia felt embarrassed when she looked at them. But these hands are extremely strong, Murong Yan lifted Yu Qingjia up with one hand. He has already put on outer clothing, which was arranged extremely well. His face was cold and clear,

“What are you up to again?”

Yu Qingjia did not answer Murong Yan’s question, she looked up and down in surprise and could not help but ask, “Were you sleeping just now?”

Murong Yan’s eyebrows twitched and his anger was uncontrollable. He held down his brow and asked again, “What the hell are you doing here?”

Yu Qingjia hugged the pillow she was carrying, and looked at him with flickering eyes, “I couldn’t sleep.”

Murong Yan felt really strange, ‘Where is she learning this habit from?’. Murong Yan’s face was sullen, and he was about to forcibly close the door with one hand, “If you can’t sleep, go back and lie down, what does it have to do with me?”

Yu Qingjia hurriedly reached out to stop him, her pale white fingers held on to the doorway, if she forced too hard, it would definitely squeeze her hand. It’s strange to say that Yu Qingjia actually managed to block the door with a little effort. However, since her one hand was blocking the door, it became difficult for her to hold the pillow with her other hand. So she was standing crookedly by the door. Murong Yan’s hand immediately swept down, and straightened her pillow expressionless.

“Thank you…”

The porcelain pillow was straightened, and Yu Qingjia felt much more comfortable holding it. She looked up at Murong Yan, with her eyes shining brightly at him, “The little maid was exhausted and fell asleep, so there was no one in the room to watch the night, and I dare not sleep alone.”

In the past, when Yu Qingjia wanted to ask for something from her parents, she would just usually tilt her head and stare at them eagerly like this, and Yu Wenjun would immediately become soft and responsive to her requests.

Even with Madam Yu, even if she did not agree at first, she still couldn’t hold back in the end. So Yu Qingjia guessed that elders are not resistant to such a look, the vixen, although she’s also a girl almost her age, she can still be barely considered as her elder, so… Doing the same thing should be effective too, right?

Murong Yan was condescending and cold, and his expression looked unmoved, “You are a young lady, what are you doing running outside at night like this? Go back to your room and sleep.”

Yu Qingjia did not expect that her lowkey coquettish weapon would fail. She saw that Murong Yan was really going to close the door, so she hurriedly blocked it again and said, “No one has lived in this house for two years, and Bai Zhi is not here, who knows who those little maids are. What if they take advantage of the fact that I was not being vigilant and secretly harm me?”

Murong Yan was taken aback, he didn’t expect her to be worried about this kind of thing. When they were in the inn before, they didn’t really share the same room, except for the first night. The next day, he decided to book two rooms for them to rest separately. And back then Yu Qingjia ate and slept well. So why did she suddenly not dare to sleep when she finally returned to her own home?

Murong Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, “Do you know anything?”

“No.” Yu Qingjia looked down at her embroidered shoes, then looked up again. Her eyes were wet as she stared at Murong Yan, “I’ll just sleep here for one night, okay? Wait until tomorrow, and I’ll try to get used to it.”

Murong Yan was stared at by such eyes, and really couldn’t say any words of refusal, but this kind of thing… He really can’t make a decision casually. Then he heard Yu Qingjia muttering in a low voice, complaining, “Obviously we also slept together before…”

“Yu Qingjia!”

She raised her head in confusion and stared at him blankly. Murong Yan’s eyebrows kept twitching constantly, and finally turned around angrily and walked inwards with a livid expression.

‘She didn’t say no, so that means yes, right?’

Yu Qingjia tentatively entered the door and saw that Murong Yan did not react, she immediately smiled sweetly at him, then turned around and closed the door behind her. She then hurriedly ran into the inner room with a pillow in her arms, “Vixen I knew you were the best.”

“Shut up.”

Murong Yan rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and finally found a new quilt in one of the boxes. He removed the quilt, which still carried his body temperature, from the bed and spread it on the ground outside the bed curtain. He then threw the new quilt to Yu Qingjia, pointed to the bed, and said mercilessly, “You sleep here. You are not allowed to talk, you are not allowed to turn over, and you are not allowed to look in my direction.”

“Oh…” Yu Qingjia knew that the vixen had a strange temper, and now that she was being guarded like a thief, she didn’t feel annoyed at all. She laid out her quilt on the bed, then placed the porcelain pillow squarely in the middle, and even patted it when she put it in place. Yu Qingjia was lying in the brand new brocade quilt, while listening to another person’s clear and restrained breathing in her ears, and her heart became extremely peaceful inside.

Yu Qingjia was warned by Murong Yan, so she indeed did not rave, and did not pull him to talk, but Murong Yan still couldn’t sleep.

When they were in Guangling County, They were literally at odds and incompatible, but since that night conversation at the inn. Yu Qingjia seemed to be much closer to him, and the two of them were no longer at loggerheads with each other. Murong Yan slowly accepted Yu Qingjia’s intimacy, thinking that it would be better to take this reading companion as a burden. But even as the prince’s reading companion, she doesn’t really have to sleep together with him at night as well, right?

The young lady’s breathing is light and shallow, and her breath seems to carry a fragrant aroma. Murong Yan moved out a little, but the faint body fragrance, if there was any, was still lingering in his nose. In the end, a companion and a girl were really different.

Because of Yu Qingjia’s sudden whims, Murong Yan could barely close his eyes for the first half of the night, and finally fell asleep in the later half, but he suddenly woke up.

A smell of blood was suddenly detected by the tip of his nose, and Yu Qingjia, who was on the bed beside him, was also groaning in pain.
