Liu Shimei was worried. Although she had explicitly forbidden it for the past three days, Huangfu Lingyao hadn't had any direct physical contact with her, but he had always been within a not-so-distant distance. It was unintentional, yet not entirely impossible.
So when she was half-asleep, feeling the person sleeping outside tossing and turning, her sleepiness vanished.
Huangfu Lingyao jerked and quickly said, "No! I just can't sleep!"
"Is it because the bed is too small?" Liu Shimei thought of her silly dog's long legs; the simple pallet she had laid out could not possibly accommodate his height.
"Maybe it's a bit small, and there are quite a few mosquitoes." Huangfu Lingyao certainly could not say it was because of the small bed. If he said it wasn't, Liu Shimei would definitely press him until she got to the bottom of it. What else could he say to bluff his way out?
