Limited Time Hidden Marriage

Gu Nanpei went downstairs and drank a glass of milk. When he went upstairs again, he walked outside the study and looked in through the crack in the door, only to see Sheng Zhixun already lying on the desk.

Are you asleep?

Gu Nanpei guessed in his mind and pushed the door open without realizing it.

As I got closer, I realized that he was indeed asleep.

The man was lying on the desk, pillowing his arms. Under the dim light, the lines on his profile were soft and graceful. His eyes were closed tightly. His long and dense eyelashes were like butterfly wings, trembling slightly as if they were dancing. , casting a blue-black shadow on his eyes.

Such a sleeping face is so beautiful that it seems as if it has been frozen by the years, and has been frozen into a picture that will never wither, adding a dazzling color to the dim night.

Gu Nanpei was stunned for a moment, and after a long time he came back to his senses. He picked up the blanket on the sofa and carefully covered the man's thin back. He happened to see the book pillowed under his arm.

It was a book of jokes, about as thick as half a finger, but he had already read the last page.

It turned out that he had been sitting in the study, concentrating more than ever on reading this book of jokes.

You don't need to think about it to know that it's for Bai Youning.

Realizing this, Gu Nanpei couldn't explain how he felt, and in the end he just let out a long sigh.

At this moment, Sheng Zhixun moved and slowly raised his head.

He squinted his sleepy eyes and was slightly surprised to find Gu Nanpei's presence. He said hoarsely and sleepily, "Huh? When did you come in?"

"You just came in. If you feel sleepy, go back to the bedroom and sleep." Gu Nanpei replied.

Sheng Zhixun rubbed his sore eyes and seemed to realize that he had fallen asleep.

He sat up straight, stretched, picked up the joke book on the desk again, and said, "I'll read the last few pages and then go to bed."

Gu Nanpei glanced at the book in his hand. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but tentatively asked, "Are you...reading a collection of jokes? Isn't this what you bought for Bai Youning?"

Sheng Zhixun lowered his head to read and replied, "Only by understanding her interests and hobbies first can we find common topics with her."

That’s how it turns out…

After learning Sheng Zhixun's true thoughts, Gu Nanpei could only smile dryly and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Sheng Zhixun raised his eyes, glanced at her, and said, "It's so late, aren't you still asleep?"

Gu Nanpei came to his senses instantly and replied, "I can't sleep. I just went downstairs and drank a glass of milk. I'm going to sleep..."

"Go back and rest quickly."

"Yes." Gu Nanpei nodded, "You also... rest early."

After saying that, he turned around and left the study.

On the second day, Sheng Zhixun went to the Sheng family early and returned to the villa early in the evening, heading straight to Bai Youran's bedroom.

When he opened the door, he saw Bai Youran lying on the bed, reading the joke book with relish, and giggles coming from his mouth from time to time.

Seeing her happy, Sheng Zhixun was also happy. After approaching cautiously, he softly asked, "Is the joke book... good?"

Bai Youran was frightened by the sudden sound and his body trembled. He immediately raised his head, the smile on his lips had not had time to fade away.

Seeing that Bai Youran was frightened by him, Sheng Zhixun suddenly became nervous, fearing that she would cry again.

Unexpectedly, she was only slightly frightened, but quickly returned to normal, and nodded in response to Sheng Zhixun's question.

"Quite good looking."
