"..." Rosendo was speechless. He wondered, am I really so irrelevant to Johanna?
Forget it, let's just sleep! Rosendo decided not to think about it and closed his eyes to continue sleeping.
While Rosendo managed to fall asleep, Johanna couldn't. The sound of thunder outside kept her on edge. She was sleeping so close to Rosendo that she could hear his breathing and even his heartbeat. It seemed like Rosendo had fallen asleep. Taking a bold move, Johanna scooted closer to him, pressing herself against him tightly.
Surprisingly, there was no reaction from Rosendo which emboldened her further. She turned around and half embraced him in a very intimate position.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, Rosendo slept deeply as he had been extremely tired the day before and also caught a severe cold. His body was fatigued beyond measure; hence he fell into deep slumber within moments.
Rosendo's warmth brought comfort to Johanna while the sound of his heartbeat filled her ears with the most beautiful melody in the world. She wished she could rely on him forever until the end of time.
Gradually, Johanna fell asleep next to Rosendo and they slept through until dawn.
Early in the morning, Cheryl prepared delicious congee for both Rosendo and Johanna at home before heading off to the hospital with it in hand.
When Cheryl opened Johanna's room only to find it empty, she went straight towards Rosendo's room instead. As soon as she opened the door and saw Johanna sleeping on top of him, Cheryl dropped her thermos flask onto the floor out of shock while covering her mouth with both hands.
The loud thud from dropping the thermos startled both Rosendo and Johanna awake simultaneously. Opening his eyes and seeing Cheryl standing there made him smile as he greeted her warmly saying,"Good morning, Cheryl!"
It was only then that Rosendo realized he felt uncomfortable in his chest. He looked down and froze. He saw Johanna lying on top of him. What on earth was going on? Was Johanna intentionally trying to seduce him?
Johanna also noticed the indecent position she was in now and didn't know what to do next. Initially, she had only intended to lie beside Rosendo for a while yesterday but ended up spending the entire night like that.
Now that Cheryl had discovered them, she felt as if caught red-handed in an affair. Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Johanna pulled the blanket down over her head, feeling hot all over with a bright red face.
Seeing Cheryl's complex expression and Johanna hiding under the covers, Rosendo explained helplessly,"Cheryl, please don't misunderstand! Nothing happened between us at all. The reason why she ended up on my bed is because she was scared of thunder last night and insisted on sleeping together with me for comfort. As for why she ended up lying on top of me... I have no idea either; I slept soundly throughout."
Suddenly, Rosendo felt a pain in his waist without needing any explanation - it must be Johanna playing tricks again. She was upset by how Rosendo spoke about their situation as it made her feel cheap.
"Actually... you can just pretend you didn't see anything," Cheryl said while covering her face before running out embarrassedly. It was too embarrassing; she actually witnessed a couple sleeping together.
"Hey hey! Why did you run away? I told you not to think too much into it! We really didn't do anything wrong! Didn't you notice we were both fully clothed?" Seeing Cheryl running off, Rosendo quickly explained.
But how could Cheryl believe his words? Cheryl only believes her own eyes. If there really was nothing, could she hold on so tightly while sleeping?
Rosendo pulled back the blanket and said helplessly to Johanna, "Come out already. Do you want to sleep with me for the rest of your life?" Although Rosendo was sick, that part of him wasn't. He could feel a strong reaction there because Cheryl accidentally touched him just now.
"Who... who wants to sleep with you for the rest of my life! If it weren't for the thunder last night, I wouldn't have slept with you!" Johanna angrily retorted at Rosendo. As she spoke, she quickly got up from bed. She suspected that she had a fever because she felt hot all over.
Johanna had just run out of Rosendo's room when Cheryl caught her. Cheryl grabbed Johanna's wrist and curiously asked, "Johanna, how did you end up in Rosendo's bed? Did he force you or did you willingly go? Did it hurt when he...you know? Was it comfortable..." Cheryl bombarded her with many questions.
"Let's talk about this later." Johanna shyly replied as she held onto Cheryl's hand and led her back to her own room. There, she explained to Cheryl: "Cheryl, actually things between me and Rosendo are not what you think they are. We didn't do anything at all; really! Look, we didn't even take off our clothes."
Cheryl rubbed her chin and scanned Johanna with her eyes before muttering: "You don't necessarily have to take off your clothes for that! Isn't role play popular nowadays?"
Johanna lay on the bed covering herself with a blanket, leaving only her head exposed. She sighed regretfully saying: "I actually wanted him to do that to me but he couldn't even be bothered to touch me."
"Ah..." Cheryl was shocked by this. "Could it be that Rosendo is impotent? That would be such a pity! He looks so handsome, but turns out he's not a complete man. Oh well...such a shame, really." Cheryl shook her head repeatedly.
If Rosendo heard her words, he might get so angry that he'd spit blood or immediately take off his pants to let Cheryl personally verify whether he can perform or not.
"No way!" Johanna was somewhat unwilling to accept Rosendo's incompetence in that area.
"How about we find an opportunity to test him?" Cheryl suggested.
"Alright! But how should we do it?" Johanna lacked the experience of seducing someone.
"I have a plan for that. Just wait and see," Cheryl said with a mischievous smile on her face. Looking at her playful expression, one could tell that Rosendo was going to suffer.
Taking advantage of the time before school started, Cheryl went to Rosendo's room. She sat beside his bed and chatted with him. As they talked, she suddenly covered her chest and desperately gasped for air.
"What's wrong with you?" Rosendo became very worried when he saw Cheryl like this.
"I'm having trouble breathing; please help me pat my chest quickly," Cheryl pretended to gasp for breath as she spoke. She was quite open-minded especially towards men she liked who were also handsome like Rosendo.
Without much thought, Rosendo immediately gently patted Cheryl's chest after hearing her request. After patting a few times, he stopped because women's chests are different from men's chests.Cheryl stopped pretending to gasp for breath; she froze as if being acupunctured because Rosendo's hand stayed on what she considered proud breasts—Rosendos actually pinched them.Now she knew: Rosendos was not impotent at all. If he were, he wouldn't be so lecherous.
