Chapter 1437: Chapter 1341: Holding Her... (7)

Xia Yangyang was slowly shifting within the blanket.

She feared waking Gu Qichen, so her movements were very gentle.

Just when Yangyang thought she was about to succeed and had finally turned around to face Xia Ye...

She found an unexpected strength around her waist.

Xia Yangyang was unexpectedly pulled into an embrace.

She almost cried out.

In fact, she did let out a small cry, then reflexively covered her mouth.

Because a camera had been installed in the corner of the room.

Although the lights were off and the nighttime footage would never be shown to the public...

It still felt like being watched covertly.

Yangyang covered her mouth, not letting any sound escape.

But the arm across her waist was impossible for Xia Yangyang to ignore.

And now, her back was pressed tightly against Gu Qichen’s chest.

Xia Yangyang could even feel Gu Qichen’s body temperature and the sound of his heartbeat.

Yangyang couldn’t worry about anything else, as her own heartbeat was speeding up, as if it might leap out of her chest at any second.

Xia Yangyang didn’t dare to move.

Her body stiff, she just shrank into Gu Qichen’s embrace.

The room was very quiet.

So quiet that the breathing of Gu Qichen and Xia Ye could be heard.

Both seemed to be in a deep sleep, their breaths steady and prolonged.

Only Xia Yangyang seemed as if she didn’t know how to breathe at that moment.

After an unknown period of time, Yangyang finally calmed her emotions.

She reached under the blanket, attempting to move Gu Qichen’s arm off her waist.

But just as Xia Yangyang mustered her strength...

Gu Qichen’s arm tightened, and he moved closer to her.

Xia Yangyang felt as if she were enveloped by an invisible net.

The more she struggled, the tighter it wrapped around her.

Yangyang dared not to try anymore.

But how was she supposed to sleep like this?

Xia Yangyang thought she would definitely be up all night.

But she didn’t expect that sleepiness would quickly overcome her,

and she soon fell asleep.

When Yangyang’s breathing became even, the eyes behind her suddenly opened.

Gu Qichen took a deep, heavy breath.

To think that pretending to sleep and regulating one’s breath could be such a physical task.

It was even more exhausting than staying up all night reviewing documents.

Even Qi Chen felt he could hardly keep it up.

Fortunately, Xia Yangyang fell asleep at this moment.

Gu Qichen finally could open his eyes.

How long has it been...

Since he hadn’t held her like this in his arms.

Her hair had a faint scent, not of shampoo.

It seemed inherent.

This scent was very familiar to Gu Qichen.

But it had been so long that he thought he was almost about to forget.

Yangyang’s sleeping posture was just like a child’s.

Always preferring to curl up on her side into a ball.

Like a fetus’s position within the womb.

Qi Chen seemed to recall reading somewhere that people who sleep like this tend to innately lack a sense of security.

In the past, Xia Yangyang liked to curl up into a ball like that, turning her back on him when she slept,

and Gu Qichen always had the habit of pulling her into his arms.

Their shapes seemed to fit perfectly together.

Although Yangyang was quite tall, she was slender, and when held in his arms she was just a small bundle.

It always made him feel particularly protective.

Gu Qichen held Xia Yangyang, watching her.

As if holding some precious treasure that had been lost and then reclaimed.
