LITTLE SEA OTTER BECOME POPULAR 109

Chapter 109: Extra 12

Qiao Dai and Cheng Su chatted in the living room for a while. Only a small lamp was left on, casting a hazy, warm yellow light over them. On the wall behind them, their shadows huddled together, looking cozy and warm.

Qiao Dai curled up in Cheng Su’s arms, her eyelids gradually starting to droop, but she still fought off sleepiness to listen to him.

“It’s getting late.”

Seeing the hour hand slowly pointing to one, and looking at the dozing Qiao Dai, Cheng Su gently nudged her shoulder, reminding her to go to bed.

Qiao Dai rubbed her eyes and sat up from the sofa. She looked up at Cheng Su, her bright black eyes seeming to shimmer under the warm light. With a hint of sleepiness and anticipation in her voice, she said, “Just sleep here tonight.”

Cheng Su had come straight to her house after getting off the plane, without even having time to rest. It was almost one o’clock now, and Qiao Dai felt uneasy letting him drive back, so she simply suggested he stay the night.

The apartment Qiao Dai currently lived in was a single apartment provided by the company. Although it wasn’t large, it was conveniently located and had good security. Apart from Ling Na and her assistant, few other people came over.

Cheng Su’s gaze casually swept around the room. “There’s no guest room here,” he said casually.

No! She had work tomorrow!

Qiao Dai took a deep breath, determined to harden her heart and send Cheng Su to the living room to sleep. She had just turned around in a daze when she heard footsteps outside the door. Turning her head, she unexpectedly bumped into a firm embrace. Qiao Dai’s head hit Cheng Su’s chest, and she instinctively cried out.

Seeing Qiao Dai’s fair face quickly turn red, Cheng Su immediately reached out and rubbed her cheek before asking, “Does it still hurt?”

The bedroom lamp cast a soft, warm glow on the girl’s face, giving her skin a honeyed sheen. Cheng Su lowered his head and saw the smooth, delicate skin of her exposed neck. His gaze lingered for a moment before quickly shifting away.

Qiao Dai shook her head and turned to grab a blanket to throw to Cheng Su for him to sleep in the living room. However, she suddenly felt a warmth behind her, and her entire body was enveloped by a dominant aura. The man embraced her from behind, resting his head gently against her back.

“Cheng…”

Qiao Dai’s voice instinctively rose in pitch, but the words she was about to speak were caught in her throat. Cheng Su’s warm breath filled the space around her neck, causing her to tense up slightly.

“Let me hold you for a bit.”

Cheng Su’s deep voice came from behind her, but it was as if he was speaking directly into her ear. The flowing air was like a blunt knife, slowly scraping inch by inch across Qiao Dai’s exposed skin, moving from her ear to her neck, and then down along the seams of her clothes, wandering over her entire body.

As if her delicate skin couldn’t bear such subtle stimulation, Qiao Dai’s body began to flush a light pink, her face becoming even more delicate and rosy.

Cheng Su held Qiao Dai quietly like this for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, Qiao Dai felt a weight against her back as the man fell asleep against her.

He could fall asleep like this?

Qiao Dai was startled at first, but then she carefully turned around and gently held Cheng Su in her arms, not wanting to wake the tired man.

Cheng Su, at nearly 1.9 meters tall, lay on Qiao Dai like a small mountain, almost making her unable to stand. She struggled to gently lay him on the bed, panting heavily from the exertion.

Qiao Dai didn’t rush to bed. Instead, she quietly crouched beside the bed, resting her chin on the mattress, silently observing the sleeping man.

Under the warm yellow light of the bedroom, the man’s usually hard features appeared much softer, and his usually fierce eyes were now gently closed, lessening their sharpness.

Perhaps it was because Qiao Dai’s filter for Cheng Su was too thick, but now she felt that the image of him in her heart was far from the ferocious killer whale, but rather like a cute little orca, obediently taking his little sea otter swimming every day.

Thinking of this, Qiao Dai couldn’t help but chuckle secretly.

Since Cheng Su was already asleep, she wouldn’t kick him out to the living room.

Qiao Dai convinced herself, stood up, and prepared for bed.

With a “click,” Qiao Dai turned off the bedside lamp, plunging the room into darkness.

In the quiet atmosphere, Qiao Dai felt her hearing become more acute, allowing her to clearly hear Cheng Su’s breathing and the rustling sound of fabric as he turned over.

These subtle sounds fell into Qiao Dai’s ears without reservation, clearly telling her that Cheng Su was right beside her, within reach.

It was a strange feeling. Although they had been together many times, this was the first time they had quietly lain in bed together like this, doing nothing.

Before, whenever they were together, Qiao Dai always fell asleep early and slept soundly. When she woke up the next day, Cheng Su would have already left, so in all this time, Qiao Dai hadn’t really seen Cheng Su’s sleeping face.

Thinking of this, Qiao Dai couldn’t help but turn over and, like a child, lie on her stomach, turning her head to look at Cheng Su.

She didn’t know that Cheng Su would look like this when he was asleep.

His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he felt uneasy or had seen someone he disliked in his dream. Even so, Qiao Dai still found him very handsome like this.

Different from usual, warmer, making her heart feel warm.

The curtains in the room didn’t seem to be fully drawn, and the bright moonlight mixed with starlight spilled in through the gap, landing right in front of Qiao Dai’s pillow, allowing her to clearly see Cheng Su’s sleeping face.

The man’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as if he was deep in a dream. Qiao Dai couldn’t help but wonder what was in Cheng Su’s dream.

She curiously reached out, wanting to poke Cheng Su’s face, but worried about waking him up. Her outstretched hand hovered in midair before finally gently placing it between them.

Seemingly sensing Qiao Dai’s movement, Cheng Su’s brows furrowed slightly, as if he was about to open his eyes. Startled, Qiao Dai quickly held her breath and stared at Cheng Su’s face, not relaxing until she saw his brows smooth out again.

It was late, and the night air carried a hint of coolness, making Qiao Dai’s hand outside the blanket feel cold. Just as she was about to pull it back, she suddenly felt her hand tighten, grasped without warning. It startled her.

“You weren’t asleep?!”

The man in the darkness slowly opened his eyes. Qiao Dai was both surprised and shy. She stared at Cheng Su with wide eyes, subconsciously wanting to hide under the covers. However, Cheng Su quickly followed her in, and the two of them were wrapped up in the blanket.

Unlike the bedroom with a bit of natural light, the inside of the blanket was pitch black. Nothing could be seen. The two hugged each other tightly, and the thin air made Qiao Dai’s breathing become a little rapid. She panted softly and then heard Cheng Su whisper in her ear, “I’m awake.”

Who knows if you’re telling the truth!

Qiao Dai grumbled inwardly, embarrassed at the thought of how she had just squatted by the bed like a fool, grinning foolishly. She wished she could just close her eyes and fall asleep, and it would be even better if Cheng Su could forget about it like a dream the next day.

Seeming to sense Qiao Dai’s chagrin, Cheng Su chuckled and hugged her, whispering, “I won’t laugh at you.”

Because they were in an enclosed environment, all senses were amplified. Qiao Dai couldn’t tell where Cheng Su’s voice was coming from, and even the warm air he exhaled seemed to be swirling around in the blanket, causing her to curl up slightly, her breath hitching.

Hearing Cheng Su’s words, Qiao Dai snorted in disbelief, shrinking her neck and muttering, “Liar!”

Cheng Su must be secretly laughing at her!

Just then, Qiao Dai felt Cheng Su lean closer.

This time, she could clearly feel the man’s position.

Because in the darkness, Cheng Su’s lips were close to her ear, his slightly hoarse voice like a beast’s low growl, sounding softly beside her ear: “I’m not lying to you.”

The air in the blanket seemed even thinner. Qiao Dai couldn’t help but open her mouth slightly, breathing slowly.

Cheng Su’s heavy breathing was also particularly clear at this moment.

The man nibbled on her earlobe, a hint of amusement in his voice as he said in a low voice, “I’ve secretly watched you like this too.”
