Luo Yang's home was a few hundred meters away from Qin Piao's. If he went back to sleep at his place, he would not be able to save Hong Jiaxin in time if any villains crept into the village to harm her at night.
Just looking at the frightened expression on Hong Zhong's face, it was clear he was in big trouble. The group led by the bearded man was surely not to be taken lightly, and there might be even stronger opponents who had yet to show themselves. Only by keeping Hong Jiaxin close could he protect her to the fullest extent.
Therefore, Luo Yang was also going to spend the night at Qin Piao's house.
When An Yuying asked him to leave, he said, "Sister An, I'm also going to sleep here tonight."
An Yuying paused, puzzled, "You're not going home to sleep?"
Then, Luo Yang took An Yuying outside and explained the reason to her before concluding, "Sister An, I promised her father that I would protect her well, so I cannot stay far from her."
Just then, An Yuying remembered Tang Guihua's words and felt Luo Yang was deceiving her, she said tartly, "Are you perhaps wanting to sleep with her?"
Lin Jialan was Luo Yang's childhood teacher, and seeing his teacher's daughter, Luo Yang didn't want to upset her.
"Sister An, if you're doubting, why not spend the night here at Sister Piao's place too?" he said with a smile.
"Is there enough room for me to sleep?" she asked.
He had said it casually, but she took it seriously.
"Of course, there's room. Sister Piao's house has two beds. Which one would you like to sleep on?" Luo Yang didn't know how to arrange the sleeping spots.
"I need to supervise you. Of course, I'll sleep in the same bed as you," An Yuying said coyly.
In that instant, Luo Yang felt a tingle down his spine.
When they returned inside, Qin Piao had gone to take a shower. She had already prepared the guest room's bed for Hong Jiaxin, who was now lying on the bed.
For Luo Yang, who possessed X-Ray Ability, it was as if Hong Jiaxin was lying there naked. After just a few glances, he felt his body heat up.
He and An Yuying went in, sat down by the bed, and he pressed on the mattress. To his left, Hong Jiaxin sat on the bed with her legs apart, her body curving seductively; to his right stood An Yuying, graceful and poised.
After just those few glances, Luo Yang shivered intensely, his body temperature soaring.
"Where will you sleep?" Hong Jiaxin asked.
"I'll also sleep here," Luo Yang patted the mattress, saying as much.
"No, Sister wants to sleep alone," Hong Jiaxin said shyly.
However, since Qin Piao's house only had two beds, if Luo Yang didn't share a bed with Hong Jiaxin, he would either have to share a bed with Qin Piao or sleep on the floor.
"Three people sleeping together is fine. Sister An is also sleeping here," Luo Yang said with a smile.
"You really have the cheek to say that. Even Sister is embarrassed for you," Hong Jiaxin muttered.
Unexpectedly, An Yuying confirmed that she indeed intended to share a bed with Luo Yang. Hearing this, Hong Jiaxin could hardly believe that what she heard was true.
She had long noticed that the relationship between Luo An was out of the ordinary, and now hearing that they would be sharing a bed, she was genuinely worried that in their sleep, they might engage in some intense physical activities. The thought made her blush.
"Sister likes to sleep alone."
With that, Hong Jiaxin lay down again, turning her back to Luo Yang.
Even without his X-Ray Ability, just seeing Hong Jiaxin's rounded buttocks would make anyone praise her youthful vigor.
If Hong Jiaxin agreed to share a bed with Qin Piao, Luo Yang could then share a pillow with An Yuying; otherwise, unless Luo Yang was willing to sleep on the floor, there would be no way to solve the bed shortage issue.
Jiaxin, being the only daughter in the family, was the pearl in her parents' palm, and though not spoiled, she was certainly showered with love. If she wanted the stars, her parents would find a way to pluck them from the sky for her.
Now she insisted on sleeping in a bed by herself, indicating her reluctance to share. Asking her to sleep with Qin Piao for one night was no issue, but if it were every night, it wasn't just Jiaxin who would have objections—Qin Piao would also be uneasy.
Therefore, Jiaxin was bound to end up in the guest room. If Luo Yang were to sleep with Qin Piao, then An Yuying would definitely disagree.
After some thought, Luo Yang realized that the only suitable option was for the three of them to share a bed.
Three people in a double bed meant they could only fit by sleeping sideways. Luo Yang gently tapped Jiaxin's shin and said with a smile, "Make yourself comfortable, Sister An and I need to fit as well."
Jiaxin scoffed, "Go sleep in the next room."
Hearing this, An Yuying's face flushed with a light dance of embarrassment and she softly said, "Jiaxin, there's no bed in the next room."
Her meaning was clear: if there were a bed, she would have no issue sharing it with Luo Yang. She was simply hoping that Jiaxin would soon realize that she and Luo Yang were a couple, and that Jiaxin should stop intervening.
With Jiaxin not responding, Luo Yang reasoned and pleaded with her to accept the arrangement of the three of them sharing the bed.
As he spoke, Jiaxin, who was lying on her side, suddenly stretched out her right foot to kick Luo Yang. The day's events had left her emotionally unstable, quick to anger.
Luo Yang blocked and grabbed her right ankle with his left hand, widening the gap; then, as she turned around and kicked with her left foot, he quickly reached out with his right hand to grab her left ankle and widen it further, causing her legs to spread.
Without "X-Ray Ability," it was impossible to see.
After only a glance, Luo Yang wanted to pounce, feeling a vigorous flame igniting within him, stirring restlessly.
"Let go of me," Jiaxin said, shaking her feet.
"Class leader, be cooperative. We need space to sleep like this, me and Sister An," Luo Yang said, standing up and holding on to Jiaxin's ankles, he dragged them ninety degrees so she lay sideways across the bed.
A double bed was about one and a half meters wide and two meters long. Lying vertically, each person had only about 40 centimeters of space, which was very cramped; lying sideways, each had about 70 centimeters.
Jiaxin was quite sensible and didn't continue to fuss. She simply pouted her reddened lips; although dissatisfied, she had to put up with it.
Just then, Qin Piao, having finished her shower, came upstairs and entered the room, the scent of fragrant shampoo spreading instantly. Seeing An Yuying still not back home sleeping, she was curious.
Upon seeing Jiaxin lying sideways across the bed, she asked puzzledly, "Is the mattress too soft?"
Jiaxin sat up and laughed, "No, it isn't."
Upon further inquiry and learning that Luo Yang and An Yuying were also going to sleep in this bed, Qin Piao revealed a meaningful smile.
"Oh, Niu Zai, giggle—are you okay with this?" Qin Piao laughed.
With such suspicions, Luo Yang, An Yuying, and Jiaxin all felt embarrassed and found it inconvenient to argue.
An Yuying's pretty face blushed even more, and Jiaxin's cheeks also turned red.
"Sister Piao, you misunderstood. It's not what you're thinking," Luo Yang said with a grin.
"Oh, Niu Zai, you're good with words. Well then, Yuying, you sleep with me," Qin Piao said with a smile.
Earlier, after returning home and being startled by Zhang Xiangqian, she hadn't noticed the jade-like skin of the An sisters. Now that she had come to her senses, she naturally noticed that her skin wasn't as nice as that of the An sisters.
An Yuying stayed behind more to keep an eye on Luo Yang, to prevent him from doing anything overly intimate with Jiaxin in bed.
