Chapter 360: Chapter 360 I Hold You in My Sleep

His fingertips were slightly cool, sending a tingly numbness across her skin, making her heart flutter incessantly.

Ashamed of such feelings, Leng Yu Yan became increasingly agitated.

She thought about what she had told him before boarding the ship, that he wasn’t allowed to bully her, yet now he was treating her like this, and Leng Yu Yan felt a sense of grievance welling up inside her.

As the feeling of grievance surged, her beautiful watery eyes instantly filled with mist, gathering more and more until they formed glistening tears, hanging on her eyelashes, ready to fall.

Seeing him like this, Ye Yiheng frowned deeply.

"What are you crying for, I haven’t even bitten you yet."

Leng Yu Yan took the opportunity to push him but couldn’t budge him, and could only say, "You’re holding me so tight, I feel like my bones are going to break."

"Then I’ll let you hold me, you hold on tighter."

Despite saying that, his hands remained on her waist, unwilling to let go.

Leng Yu Yan cast her eyes downward, "Shameless, who does something like this?"

He leaned to her ear: "Then my neck is yours to bite, make it hurt."

"I won’t bite." She wouldn’t fall for his trap.

Ye Yiheng added, "It’s best if you draw blood."

Leng Yu Yan was somewhat stunned, "Why?"

"That way, let Jiang Xuan take a good look, and he will surely understand a lot of things."

Leng Yu Yan truly got angry, "You bastard, what are you talking about? I have absolutely nothing to do with him."

"It may be nothing..." Ye Yiheng raised an eyebrow, "but that man has no good intentions towards you."

Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, saying no more.

Seeing her like this, now it was Ye Yiheng who was baffled, "What are you doing?"

"I can’t push you away, and you don’t seem to want to let go, can’t I just close my eyes and rest?"

Ye Yiheng laughed, his chest rising with the sound, and then he released her.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door, "Is Ah Li there? The ship owner invites you!"

It was Lao Liu’s voice. Eager to be alone, Leng Yu Yan quickly opened the door.

Ye Yiheng gave her a look, then followed Lao Liu’s steps to where Jiang Xuan was standing.

Jiang Xuan stood alone at the bow, and as the footsteps drew nearer, he turned around, "Ah Li, my younger brother, I’d like to discuss something with you."

Lao Liu led Ye Yiheng to Jiang Xuan and then stepped back.

Ye Yiheng approached, standing not far from Jiang Xuan, "Please speak."

Jiang Xuan said earnestly, "I don’t want to hide it from you, Ah Li, my brother. I have taken a liking to your sister, and I was wondering if you might consider betrothing her to me?"

Ye Yiheng replied indifferently, "I’m afraid that could be quite difficult."

Jiang Xuan did not expect to be rejected so quickly, "Why?"

"In our hometown, a lot of people like my sister."

Jiang Xuan sighed, "Your sister is beautiful and kind-hearted; it’s natural for people to like her. However, I swear if she married me, I would treat her well for life!"

Ye Yiheng’s tone grew even cooler, "You are twenty-three, not young, which gives you no advantage when compared to those who like her. Moreover, you have a daughter, indicating you’ve had past marital affairs, which makes you even less suitable for my sister."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan quickly explained, "I’ve been with a woman before, who bore me a daughter, but we never married, I’ve never taken a wife, I..."

Ye Yiheng raised his hand to interrupt him, "That makes it even worse, you’ve been with a woman, and you could abandon someone who bore your child, how can you be good to my sister?"

After speaking, Ye Yiheng left with an air of composure.

Jiang Xuan stood there sighing, regretting the incident caused by drunkenness four years ago.

Now when he sees the woman he likes, is he really unable to get any closer to her because of his past?

In the evening, as the water level of the river rose, the ship finally sailed out of the rocky shoals.

They were finally embarking on the journey, and Leng Yu Yan had a mix of joy and worry. Eager to return home, yet the swaying ship on the river brought back her seasickness.

With the delay around the reef area, they had to pick up their speed when sailing resumed.

At nightfall,

Leng Yu Yan, as usual, pricked Ye Yiheng’s fingertip to alleviate some of the poison and applied ointment to the wound on his back.

After tending to Ye Yiheng, she washed up and went to bed, exhausted, but because of seasickness, she couldn’t manage to sleep well.

Hearing the rustling sounds from behind the curtain, Ye Yiheng asked, "Can’t sleep?"

"No, almost asleep."

"Then why do you keep moving?"

Leng Yu Yan honestly replied, "I feel sick from the swaying."

"Shall I hold you to sleep?"

She quickly rejected the offer, "No need!"

If he held her to sleep, she would definitely feel more seasick.

Soon, Leng Yu Yan began to drift in and out of sleep.

Just when Ye Yiheng thought she had quieted down and probably fallen asleep, there was a loud thump...

"Wuwuwu..." she cried out.

Ye Yiheng hastily lit a lamp and pulled back the curtain, only to find her fallen on the ground.

"I told you that you have bad sleeping habits." He stepped forward to help her up.

Leng Yu Yan rubbed her shoulder with one hand and quietly massaged her equally sore buttocks with the other.

"The bed is so narrow, I was just about to fall asleep."

If she fell asleep, the sensation of seasickness could be ignored.

Now, having tumbled and hurt herself, and being told she had bad sleeping habits, the sickening sway was making her feel even more miserable.

Ye Yiheng watched her continuously massaging the sore spots on her body, concern flashing through his eyes, yet he couldn’t just help her massage them inappropriately.

Suddenly, the thought of her possibly falling again came to him, knowing she would be upset by it. Thinking this, he bent over, strained and pulled his bed next to hers.

Leng Yu Yan was stunned by his actions and, by the time she realized what was happening, Ye Yiheng had already joined the two beds together.

"What are you doing?" she pointed at the beds, her fingers trembling slightly.

"I’ll block for you." While speaking, Ye Yiheng sat down on his own bed.

Leng Yu Yan nearly stuttered, "Block, block for me?"

"Yes, you sleep on your bed." Ye Yiheng nodded, "I’ll sleep on mine and just happen to block for you — no need to thank me."

Leng Yu Yan twisted her fingers together; wasn’t this essentially the same as sleeping together?

Seeming to notice her hesitation, Ye Yiheng opened the blanket and pointed to the one-point gap: "You see, not completely touching."

Leng Yu Yan’s eyebrows knitted, reluctant to get on the bed: "This is not proper, too close."

Ye Yiheng spoke indifferently, "Rest assured, I will never cross this one-point distance!"

At his words, she couldn’t help but confirm, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true." He coaxed her gently, "I have excellent sleeping habits!"

Seeing her still hesitating, he added, "You fell quite hard just now. The ship’s speed today was too fast; the feeling of seasickness surged. You might end up with an even harder fall in the middle of the night. A bad night’s sleep will make tomorrow even harder."

Convinced by his reasoning, Leng Yu Yan finally moved her feet and climbed up from the foot of the bed.

With the two beds joined together, one side of Leng Yu Yan’s bed was against the wall, and the other was adjacent to his, with both headboards against the wall.

To get on the bed, one had to climb over from his bed or from the end of the bed.

To avoid contact with him, she chose to crawl over from the end.

However, in the process, she failed to notice the opening of her inner clothes’ collar, revealing a view clearly visible to the person on the bed.

In a flash, Ye Yiheng’s eyes darkened...

His throat became dry and itchy, a tense feeling shot from his tailbone straight to his brain!
