Chapter 172: Chapter 172: [Extra] Fleeing in Desperate Haste

Tan Bo finally moved and said groggily, "I’m too sleepy, let me sleep for a while."

Jiang Yurou didn’t believe him at all. "Tan Bo, get up, this is my bed," she said angrily, slapping his face while he continued to feign sleep with his eyes closed.

She slapped him a few more times, and Tan Bo squinted, murmuring softly, "I’m so tired, you go sleep on the couch."

Seeing this, Jiang Yurou stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Tan Bo’s face thinking, "This is my house, why should I sleep on the couch!"

With that thought, Jiang Yurou’s indignation grew, and she laid down beside Tan Bo, pulling the blanket he was under directly over herself, muttering, "I don’t want to sleep on the couch."

After finishing her words, she pressed the switch on the bedside, and the bedroom plunged into darkness, where only their shallow breathing could be heard.

Tan Bo hadn’t expected Jiang Yurou to actually lie down. In fact, he had just wanted to tease her...

The darkness lingered for a long time, until the moonlight outside the window streamed in, casting a faint glow.

Unintentionally, Tan Bo’s gaze fell on Jiang Yurou’s delicate back, and he slowly began to speak, "Rourou..."

"Hmm, what is it?" Jiang Yurou asked with her eyes closed, oblivious to anything unusual.

"Aren’t you scared of me?" His voice was soft, as if afraid to disturb her.

"Why should I be scared of you? You’re not going to eat me, are you?" Jiang Yurou asked innocently.

"Really not scared?"

"Not scared," Jiang Yurou replied.

Tan Bo chuckled softly, then his hand moved to Jiang Yurou’s back, inching forward little by little.

Jiang Yurou found his touch ticklish, thinking he was trying to scratch an itch for her, and quickly turned around to face Tan Bo, "Stop, it’s ticklish, Tan Bo!"

Tan Bo’s hand still rested on her.

Because she was facing away from the light, Jiang Yurou could not see Tan Bo’s expression, but she felt his fingertips gently tracing her collarbone, sending a tingling sensation from the top of her head to her toes, which rapidly accelerated her heartbeat. What was going on?

Thinking this, Jiang Yurou felt more ticklish, and with a roll, she ended up sitting right on Tan Bo’s waist.

Jiang Yurou moved so swiftly that even Tan Bo couldn’t react until his body grew warm. Then, abruptly, he pulled Jiang Yurou off him and left the bedroom.

His mind was in turmoil, blank with confusion, unable to grasp what had just happened.

Tan Bo even thought it might have been a hallucination, for it was a scene only present in his dreams. Feeling his own reaction, he chose to push her away immediately...

Troubled, Tan Bo ran a hand through his hair, thinking he shouldn’t have been so impulsive, nor should he have teased Jiang Yurou.

Although Tan Bo seemed flirtatious to others, he was actually quite reserved at heart. Even though he really liked Jiang Yurou, what had just happened was too forward, especially since they had no formal relationship yet.

Yes... they had no formal relationship, only just friends.

Tan Bo gave a wry smile, muttering to himself, "Tan Bo, how weak can you get? She barely lifts a finger, and you’re totally lost."

After speaking, he shook his head and stepped out onto the balcony to light a cigarette.

Watching Tan Bo seemingly "escape in a panic," Jiang Yurou curled her lips, thinking he ran out just because he was afraid of her retaliation, so she didn’t think much of it.

However, after Rourou got into bed, she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what, the tingling sensation still lingered in her mind for a long time.

What was this all about?

Before, Jiang Yurou had never had such feelings when playing around with Tan Bo like this.

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Yurou picked up the mobile phone on her bedside table and opened the Baidu search.

The results made her blush.

Jiang Yurou quickly turned off the phone screen and put it back, telling herself to go to sleep quickly, how could she possibly have those feelings for Tan Bo!

Tan Bo was her iron buddy, her lifelong best friend!

But the more Jiang Yurou admonished herself, the memory from just before kept flashing before her eyes like a movie rewinding, and her face instantly turned bright red.

Thinking back to the earlier scene, Jiang Yurou felt it was indeed a bit too much, if it had been another man, he surely would have felt the same...

Jiang Yurou tried replacing Tan Bo with Zhou Ming, and although her heart also fluttered a bit, it still felt somewhat different.

"Forget it! Stop thinking about it." Jiang Yurou sighed, closed her eyes, but still thought about that scene in her mind, she shook her head vigorously, not knowing how long this cycle lasted before she finally fell asleep.

The next day when Jiang Yurou looked at herself in the mirror upon waking up, seeing her dark circles and a big pimple on her chin, she felt like dying, how could she meet Zhou Ming looking like this!

It was all Tan Bo’s fault!

But later, Jiang Yurou no longer cared about it because when she stepped out of the bedroom, she saw Tan Bo sitting on the sofa like an old man.

"Morning~" Jiang Yurou greeted Tan Bo with a feeling of resignation.

"Mm, I’ve made breakfast for you, it’s still hot, go eat."

Tan Bo seemed very calm, as if nothing had happened last night.

Seeing Tan Bo like this, Jiang Yurou heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, glad that it was just her overthinking.

"Tan Bo, when are you going back?" Jiang Yurou asked tentatively.

Tan Bo raised an eyebrow, "Why, do you want me to leave so soon?"

"No, no, I was just asking." Jiang Yurou said sweetly.

Tan Bo looked at her and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll stay here for a few more days, consider the money for the fruit yesterday as my rent."

"Ah!" Jiang Yurou was so shocked that her chopsticks fell onto the table.

Tan Bo frowned, displeased, "Is it that surprising?"

"No, no, it’s just a bit sudden." Jiang Yurou actually wasn’t surprised, since Tan Bo had stayed at her place before, but if Tan Bo was going to stay here now, then she wouldn’t be able to meet Zhou Ming for many days.

Jiang Yurou suddenly regretted boasting in front of Zhou Ming last night, saying she would visit him every day.

"Sudden?" Tan Bo countered.

"Yes... yes." It disrupted all her plans, how could she not find it sudden?

Jiang Yurou lowered her eyes and picked up the chopsticks to start eating her breakfast.
