Chapter 374: You Want Me to Die!
Su Peng had been extremely tired. As soon as he lay down, he slipped into a light sleep.
But An Han and her sister’s conversation woke him up and also made a few strange images appear in his mind.
His mind and body became a little excited, and all his sleepiness disappeared. He lay still with his eyes closed for ten minutes, trying to sleep again, but in the end he opened his eyes, wide awake.
There was no way he could sleep…
“Sister, when will you and Brother Su Peng get married?”
“I don’t know… stop talking, you’re so annoying…”
“Sister~ your chest is so soft~”
“You’re using me as a pillow again, aren’t you?!”
The whispering and play-fighting on the bed continued, and every sound made Su Peng’s mind wander even more.
The more he listened, the more inappropriate thoughts filled his head.
…Is this what sisters normally do together?!
Even though they hadn’t seen each other for months, An Han didn’t miss her sister at all. But her sister clearly missed her.
An Han lay there looking dead inside, while her sister clung to her like an octopus, arms and legs wrapped around her, face pressed against her chest. And she kept asking curious, embarrassing questions.
A girl in her early teens knows a little about everything but understands nothing clearly. Her just-developing little sister was extremely curious about anything related to boys and girls.
She didn’t dare ask their mom, because their mom was too strict. But with An Han, she asked anything and everything.
“Sister~ what does it feel like when you kiss Brother Su Peng?”
“No feeling…”
“People online say touching a girl’s chest feels really good!”
“Don’t listen to nonsense online!”
“Sister…”
“Shut up!”
Annoyed, An Han slapped her sister’s head away and turned around, facing the other side. “Sleep! Whoever talks is a dog!”
That made her sister go silent immediately. She covered her mouth, but her big shiny eyes still stared curiously at An Han’s back.
She wanted to ask more, but before she knew it, her eyes slowly closed, and within minutes, she was lightly snoring.
Only then did An Han let out a breath. She muttered to herself, “She said she was sleepy to death, yet she kept sticking to me… now I can’t sleep.”
“An Han, didn’t you say whoever talks is a dog?” Su Peng teased softly from the floor.
“You’re still awake? You scared me.”
“You two woke me up.”
Both of them lowered their voices, trying their best not to wake the annoying little sister. An Han leaned over the side of the bed and shined her phone toward him.
In the darkness, the phone’s glow lit Su Peng’s face, half bright and half shadow.
“She’s so skinny but she still snores. During winter break she kept me awake almost every night.” An Han whispered, her head sticking over the bed edge. “I think she might have a breathing problem. I’ll tell Mom to take her for a check-up.”
“She should get checked.”
“Why don’t we sleep together?”
“Your mom would kill me.”
“Then I’m going to sleep first!”
“Okay.”
Even though Su Peng’s head was full of unhealthy thoughts, this was still An Han’s home.
Her mother was sleeping just downstairs.
Doing anything here would be unbelievably thrilling, but also the fastest way to never walk out of this house alive.
When he noticed that An Han had gone quiet, he also closed his eyes and tried his best to fall asleep.
In the silent night, only the sister’s steady breathing remained.
After about half an hour, Su Peng couldn’t hold it anymore. He carefully turned over and tiptoed out of the room.
He really couldn’t hold it.
He was extremely sleepy but also needed to pee. If he went to the bathroom, he would become fully awake. But if he tried to sleep, the urge to pee wouldn’t let him sleep.
He struggled for more than ten minutes before finally deciding to leave the blanket.
Also, sleeping in short sleeves and shorts felt uncomfortable.
After using the bathroom, feeling refreshed, Su Peng jogged back to the bedroom, wanting to get under the blanket before his sleepiness disappeared completely.
But when he reached out his hand, he pressed onto something soft. Just as he sat down on the floor bed, he froze.
“An Han… why are you inside my blanket?”
“Mmm… so sleepy, don’t talk.”
Su Peng sat there and used his phone light to check.
An Han was lying right in the middle of his floor bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket. Her mouth and nose were covered, and only her eyes were exposed, eyes filled with sleepy tears.
And Su Peng’s hand was pressing on her chest through the blanket.
Her eyes were half open. Her voice was soft, sleepy, and a little hoarse.
“Turn off the light… move your hand.”
No wonder it felt so soft.
Su Peng quickly pulled his hand back. He looked at the bed, then at the floor bed that An Han had taken over.
“Go sleep on the bed. If I sleep with your sister, your mom will kill me.”
Rubbing the sleepy tears from her eyes, An Han scooted inward, leaving a narrow 20-centimeter space for him.
“Sleeping with you might also get you killed.”
She didn’t say anything more. She pulled the blanket up to hide her whole face, leaving only a bit of hair sticking out.
“She snores… I don’t want to sleep with her…” An Han explained softly. “And she snores right into my ear…”
Su Peng sighed. No matter what he chose, he would get beaten to death by his future mother-in-law anyway. So he simply lay down beside An Han and slipped under the blanket.
The floor bed was only a little bigger than a college dorm single bed, barely enough space for two people.
Their arms and skin touched. He could clearly feel how cold and soft her arm was.
Sleeping next to An Han… he would probably stay awake the whole night.
Just as he was worrying about exactly that problem, An Han suddenly turned over, throwing her arm and leg over his chest and thigh, and resting her head on his shoulder.
She even made a comfortable little hum from her nose, exactly like she used to do in their rented apartment.
But this was her home, and right downstairs was his future mother-in-law…
Su Peng’s face darkened. He suspected An Han was doing this on purpose.
A soft, sweet-smelling girl sleeping in his arms, her little sister right above them on the bed, and her mom downstairs. Even if he had the courage of a lion, he didn’t dare make any request like he usually did. He could only endure it silently.
And even worse, An Han’s nightdress was way too thin!
When she lifted her leg and placed it on him, her long dress rode up, leaving her thigh directly touching his body.
“You’re doing this on purpose… you don’t want me to sleep.”
“Hu~ hu~”
Her fake snoring was a little too obvious.
Su Peng’s mouth twitched. He couldn’t wake someone who was pretending to sleep, and he couldn’t do anything he wanted to do.
So he could only stare at the ceiling and silently repeat to himself. “No desire, no suffering… desire is emptiness…”
“You’re poking me.”
