It was only when she locked the door at night that she could fall asleep safely, for it was the only time she could put down all of her guards.
Qin Qiao was lying perfectly in the middle of the bed.
Although Zhan Qing had fallen asleep for a while in the car, he still had alcohol in his system and was getting terribly sleepy.
He lifted his leg and kicked Qin Qiao's leg.
His kick wasn't light. However, Qin Qiao merely shuffled a little before she continued sleeping.
The way she hugged the pillow remained the same.
Zhan Qing kneeled by the bed on one knee as he pinched Qin Qiao's face. She merely shook her head a little before falling back to sleep.
Actually, Qin Qiao, who was deep asleep, thought that it was Candy playing with her.
She never would have thought that she was currently in the hands of the devil.
Zhan Qing kneeled on the bed and carried Qin Qiao up together with her pillow. He then proceeded to place her down on one side of the bed.
He then got off the bed and walked towards the washroom. He had already taken two steps forward but then stopped and walked back to the bed to pull the blanket over Qin Qiao.
After he entered the bathroom, Zhan Qing rested his hands against the wash basin's edge. He felt a little frustrated.
Zhan Qing took a short shower. After he had finished, he dried his hair as he walked back to his bedroom. He then casually threw the towel on the table after drying.
He pulled the towel wrapped around his waist away and directly got on the bed, pulling the blanket over himself as well.
Zhan Qing was indeed a little tired today, so he ignored Qin Qiao who was beside him and closed his eyes to sleep straight away.
Different from Qin Qiao, Zhan Qing was always a light-sleeper. However, this night, he slept exceptionally well.
He didn't even wake up until the sun was shining brightly.
But the loud noises in the camp woke Qin Qiao instead.
Because Qin Qiao had the habit of sleeping in, she pulled her hair out of frustration after hearing the annoying noises.
However, she felt extremely cold and hugged the pillow even harder instead.
"Candy, stop playing…" Qin Qiao thought that it was Candy who took her blanket, so she reached out to pull it.
Pull… Pull again… She was pulling it again…
Why was this blanket so hard? Qin Qiao finally opened his eyes and met Zhan Qing's angry eyes instead.
"N—Ninth Uncle…" Qin Qiao's mind short-circuited for a moment. Why was Zhan Qing on her bed?
She glanced around the room. It was then that she finally realized that Zhan Qing had brought her to the Fighting Soul camp last night.
Zhan Qing looked down at Qin Qiao's hand on his arm.
Qin Qiao hurriedly retracted her hand. "Ninth Uncle, good morning!"
Qin Qiao really wanted to cry. 'Qin Qiao, please be more careful! How dare you try to sleep on Zhan Qing's bed and even dare to sleep so deeply?! Wasn't this feeding myself to the wolf?!'
Zhan Qing glanced at Qin Qiao's head. Her messy hair made him think that she looked really cute again.
He reached out to pat Qin Qiao's hair. "Get up, wash up, and go run."
His simple words made Qin Qiao blink. Run?
"Ninth Uncle… I haven't eaten yet…"
Shouldn't it be 'get up, wash up, and eat?'
How would she have the energy to run without eating? She didn't want to run.
Zhan Qing stared at Qin Qiao's moist and pitiful eyes. He actually didn't kick Qin Qiao off the bed right away.
"Do you always sleep like this?"
Qin Qiao's sleeping posture didn't change at all for the entire night. He kept hugging the pillow tightly and slept on it.
Zhan Qing wondered if such a sleeping position was comfortable.
"Yes, because I'm scared…"
Qin Qiao didn't lie. She only acquired this habit because she was always scared. It had been like that since she was young.
Zhan Qing remained silent. Qin Qiao hadn't woken up on her own accord, so her eyes were still dazed with sleep. Her blurred and sleepy expression was extremely cute.
