Chapter 295: Hard to Sleep

When Su Peng came out of the bathroom, An Han had already bought new toiletries. She was sitting on the sofa, pouring the hot water back and forth between two cups, trying to make it cooler.

“What are you doing?”

An Han turned her head and noticed that Su Peng, after taking a shower, looked even more awake.

Su Peng was only wearing pants. His upper body was bare, openly showing his muscles to her.

“I made some hot water for you. Drinking it can help you sober up.”

“Why aren’t you wearing clothes?” An Han muttered and turned her head away. She felt the situation was becoming more and more dangerous.

When Su Peng was drunk, she didn’t have to worry about her own safety. But now that he was much more awake, he probably had the ability to do something strange to her.

Afraid… and somehow expecting something…

That strong body seemed to give off an even stronger manly feeling than usual. Just looking at him for a few more seconds made her cheeks turn red. She felt nervous inside and didn’t dare stay alone with him in the living room.

But Su Peng had already sat down next to her.

Even with about ten centimeters between them, An Han felt she could sense his body heat.

This made her even more uneasy, and a strange question suddenly appeared in her mind.

Su Peng looks so strong… I probably wouldn’t be able to handle him, right?

She quickly shook off that messy thought and didn’t dare look at his bare upper body anymore.

“Go to sleep after your shower. It’s better if you put on a shirt. The blanket is thin, you might catch a cold.”

“Mm, it’s fine.”

Su Peng yawned. His hair was still dripping with water. The droplets fell onto his skin, sliding from his shoulders to his collarbone, following the lines of his muscles, passing over his firm chest and defined abs, before disappearing.

An Han moved her eyes away the moment the droplet disappeared, but her face felt so hot it could steam.

“You should dry your hair before you sleep, or your head will hurt.”

She couldn’t sit still anymore. She stood up with an excuse and hurried into the bathroom.

Soon, she came out with a hair dryer. She found a socket near the sofa and plugged it in. She was about to hand it to Su Peng, but saw that he was sitting there half-asleep, not moving at all.

Still drunk?

An Han didn’t mind. She walked behind the sofa and started drying his hair herself.

She had worked part-time at a hair salon during summer break. Cutting hair wasn’t her strength, but washing and drying were easy for her.

Su Peng’s hair texture is pretty nice~

An Han used her fingertips to lift and play with his hair. In just a few seconds, she had turned his already-wet hair into a messy bird’s nest.

Her playful mood grew. She pushed the hair on both sides upward to make it look like a mohawk, then brushed his bangs backward like a slick-back style, then slanted it into a side-swept look…

“Stop playing.” Su Peng said tiredly and helplessly.

“I am helping you dry your hair!”

She even tried to gather all his hair and tie it into an apple-style ponytail, but sadly his hair was too short.

“How about you style it as a side-swept look from now on? Your bangs make you look too obedient,” she suggested. “A slick-back looks more mature.”

“Whatever my wife likes.”

“Who is your wife!”

Just earlier, she had checked, when she styled his bangs into a side-slicked look, he looked more mature and attractive. This style made his facial features stand out more.

He even looked more handsome~

Soon she finished drying his hair. She tossed the hair dryer onto the sofa, then leaned forward from behind the sofa, with her arms resting on the backrest, looking curiously at Su Peng’s slightly drunk face.

Even with his cheeks all red, Su Peng still looked very handsome~

“Go sleep. We start classes tomorrow.”

Su Peng opened his eyes, but his view was suddenly filled with a round, soft white shape.

He instinctively leaned backward, then realized it was because An Han was too close. Those two big “meat buns” were lightly shaking as she moved. If he had turned his head toward her just now, his nose might have bumped right into them.

An Han had already taken off her jacket, and without it covering her, her full and shapely chest almost made Su Peng unable to look away.

“I’m going to take a shower!”

Before Su Peng could say anything, she also realized how close she had been to him. Her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly straightened up from the sofa backrest and jumped into the bathroom like a startled rabbit.

Did Su Peng think I was trying to seduce him?!

An Han felt her heart beating so fast. Even while showering, she couldn’t calm down. She felt like she was walking straight toward a dangerous path she couldn’t turn back from.

“Calm down! I must never let Su Peng stay over again!”

“The result of acting on impulse could be ending up in the obstetrics department!”

She whispered this to herself, trying to comfort her restless emotions.

“After I finish showering, I’ll go back to my room right away. I must avoid any more contact with Su Peng!”

She finished her shower as quickly as usual, a rushed three-minute wash. Then she put on her warm winter pajama top and pants. She stood in front of the mirror for a moment and finally let out a breath of relief.

Luckily it’s winter. The pajamas are thick enough to hide everything. No need to worry about Su Peng turning into a beast. If it were summer and she was wearing thin pajamas, who knows how much that would excite him.

When she came out of the bathroom, her face had returned to normal. Su Peng was on the sofa drinking warm water cup after cup, trying to make the alcohol leave his body faster.

“I’m going to sleep first, okay? It’s already past ten.”

Su Peng turned his head and gave her a gentle smile. “Mm. Thanks for everything tonight.”

“What are you thanking me for~? We don’t need to say thanks to each other.”

Because he thanked her, An Han instantly felt happy. She even straightened her back proudly, scolding him with satisfaction, “It’s because your drinking ability is so bad! Don’t drink again! Do you know how troublesome it is to take care of you?!”

“No smoking, no drinking…” Su Peng complained.

Even though he wasn’t addicted, he still wanted to occasionally smoke one cigarette or drink a little alcohol with friends…

“What? Are you unhappy about it?”

Seeing An Han put her hands on her hips and raise her voice, he immediately shook his head. “I don’t smoke or drink normally anyway!”

“Hmph~”

Having “won,” An Han looked even more pleased with herself. She was so happy she even walked on her toes without realizing it.

“Then I’m going to sleep! Good night!”

With a “click,” the lights turned off. Su Peng could only see her blurry figure walking toward the bedroom.

He stretched, rubbed his eyes, and yawned again.

He really should sleep.

“Good night.”

Su Peng still hoped for something more, but An Han didn’t say anything else.

He scratched his head, lay down on the sofa, and shifted around uncomfortably. He even had to curl his legs a little. For An Han, the sofa was very spacious, but for him, it felt a bit small.

He guessed he probably wouldn’t sleep well tonight.

About ten minutes later, half-asleep, Su Peng suddenly heard soft footsteps near him.

He opened his eyes and saw, in the darkness, An Han poking her head out, carefully watching him.

“!!!”

When she noticed he was awake, An Han reacted like a scared cat, she almost jumped.

“You…”

She shrank back a little, but then quickly leaned forward and gave Su Peng a tiny kiss on the forehead, as light as a dragonfly touching water.

“A good night kiss!”

Then she rushed back to the bedroom and shut the door loudly with a “bang.”

Su Peng felt a bit excited, but right after that, he heard the sound of the door being locked.

That bit of excitement was immediately crushed…

“She’s teasing me on purpose again!”
