Whoosh-

After washing up, Luo Ning got up from the bathtub and changed into clean clothes. She originally wanted to put on her dress, but she was going to sleep immediately, so this was obviously unnecessary. After thinking for a moment, she hugged her chest and said coldly, “Little thief, don’t turn your head.”

Ye Jingtang’s mind was in a mess. He faced the wall at the window. “Okay.”

Tread, tread…

Luo Ning held the little watermelons under her undergarment and quickly walked to the bed. She lay on the inner side and covered herself with the thin blanket before breathing a sigh of relief. “It’s inconvenient to go out, so you and I will take turns keeping watch. You keep watch for the first half of the night and wake me up for the second half.”

Ye Jingtang nodded seriously. “Okay.”

Luo Ning was a little surprised. She pursed her lips, and her tone softened. “Please help me change the water and then wash up too.”

“No need.” Ye Jingtang walked directly behind the screen and began to take off his clothes.

?

Luo Ning was stunned. She wanted to say that the little thief was shameless, but her bath water was very clean. It wasn’t impossible to make do with it, so she didn’t say anything.

Splash- Splash-

The sound of water splashing rose and fell in the room.

Luo Ning bit her lower lip lightly, complicated emotions in her eyes. When the little thief came out later, he would definitely walk naked to the bed.

She would say in embarrassment and anger, “Little thief! Are you trying to anger me to death?”

But the little thief wouldn’t care at all. He would come over and coax, “Heroine Luo, didn’t you say you wanted to nurse my body back to health?” or “We agreed to hug, but I haven’t hugged you today. Are you going back on her word?”

Then he took advantage of Ning.

Even though she was full of shame and anger, the little thief might encounter an accident at any time when he was out. She still had to pay attention to the overall situation and help treat him…

When Luo Ning thought of this, her clear and beautiful eyes actually became misty. She felt very aggrieved and turned her head to look at the inner wall, like a sad heroine waiting to be humiliated but was helpless.

Splash!

The sound of splashing water came, and soon, footsteps sounded.

Luo Ning’s body tensed up. She closed her eyes and didn’t look. She only held the sword beside her. If the little thief dared to pounce on her, she would be fierce and show her attitude first.

But…

Thump, thump!

The footsteps went to the window.

Luo Ning was a little puzzled. She opened her eyes slightly to look. Ye Jingtang was dressed neatly with tidy hair. He was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. His cold aura and stalwart figure made him look like a desireless and unshakable pine tree standing proudly between heaven and earth!

???

Luo Ning lay on the pillow in a daze for a while before asking, “Little thief, didn’t you take a bath?”

Ye Jingtang turned around and looked at his fair and clean hands. “I did.”

“Why are you dressed… so neatly after washing up? It looks like you’re going out…”

“When you’re away from home, something might go wrong at any time. Keep things neat to avoid encountering anything embarrassing.” Ye Jingtang stood with his hands behind his back and continued to face the wall.

Luo Ning’s eyes were full of confusion. Why is this little thief so serious all of a sudden? Has his personality changed?

Although she knew that the little thief was definitely pretending, this posture of a ‘gentleman’ did make her feel quite comfortable. After thinking about it, she tilted her head and gestured to the pillow beside her. “The window is closed. What can you see? Come lie down. We’ll take turns keeping watch.”

H H

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly. He went over to the bed and raised his hand to lift the thin blanket.

He originally thought that Heroine Luo would be very vigilant and wear pajamas to bed, but when he lifted the blanket…

Her upper body was covered with a light blue undergarment, but it couldn’t completely cover the little watermelons. The snow-white arcs at the edges were visible…

Below were thin white pants. Because she was lying flat, and they were close to her body, he could vaguely see that…

They fit snugly…

?!

The blanket on Luo Ning’s body was lifted, and her expression changed slightly. She hurriedly pulled the thin blanket back and wanted to scold him.

But the little thief had a greater reaction than she did. He turned around with a whoosh and raised her hand slightly with an expression that said, “Sorry for offending you, Miss. Please don’t blame me.”

“Sorry, um… Heroine Luo, why aren’t you wearing clothes when you sleep?”

Luo Ning was slightly stunned. Ye Jingtang’s behavior made her look as if she was a lecherous elder sister seducing a young hero. She said coldly, “Why should I wear clothes when I sleep? I asked you to lie down, but 1 didn’t ask you to lift the blanket.”

Ye Jingtang nodded and lay down beside her. He leaned against the head of the bed with his saber and closed his eyes.

Luo Ning felt that the little thief was playing hard to get. He wanted to take advantage of her, but he didn’t want to take the initiative. Naturally, she ignored him and closed her eyes to sleep, waiting for the little thief to stop pretending. But…

She waited for an hour!

It was completely quiet inside and outside the inn. There was no sound at all, and only the moonlight shone on the floor.

Luo Ning quietly opened her eyes and glanced at the little thief. His face was full of righteousness. Even with his eyes closed, she could sense the caution in his eyes as he observed the surroundings. It seemed that he was really keeping watch and guarding against any accidents…

Huh?

Is the little thief possessed?

Luo Ning was at a loss. She wasn’t used to such a gentlemanly little thief.

Although it feels good, and the earnest and serious side profile is very comfortable to look at…

The bird is keeping watch in the first half of the night. What’s the point of keeping watch so carefully inside the room?

Moreover, the two of us are going out to do something and may encounter an accident at any time. If the little thief’s physical condition isn’t good and something happens to him…

1 already made plans before we went out. If the little thief followed the rules, 1 would grit my teeth, endure the humiliation, and let the little thief recuperate… But aren’t you a little too well-behaved?

Luo Ning was a little confused and didn’t know how to deal with this situation.

The little thief is so serious about proper business. If 1 take the initiative to take care of his body and mind, won’t it seem like 1 have unsatisfied desires…

But if 1 don’t take the initiative, the little thief really won’t move. If he doesn’t recuperate well, what if something happens…

It seems that 1 have to think of a way to make the little thief take the initiative…
