Chapter 49
Chapter 39 (1)
When you sleep, you also need the sound of your heartbeat to make sure that you are not alone... Maybe Mr. President also has a less strong side.
Hearing Pei Yusheng's words, Qi Ji couldn't help remembering that when his younger brother returned to his hometown for the first time when he was a child, he had been obsessed with sleeping with him.
Qi Mingyu and Pei Yusheng are very independent people on weekdays, but at certain moments, they still need company.
It was undeniable that Qi Ji was indeed a little soft-hearted.
He hesitated a little longer, after all, it takes time to digest this problem. But this kind of thinking fell into the eyes of another person, but it became another meaning.
Pei Yusheng seemed to think that Qi Ji was going to refuse, and added: "Today's 500,000 can be paid in cash."
"Ah? No need." Qi Ji was stunned for a moment, and said, "It doesn't need 500,000... just follow the original calculation."
Although it's tempting to end the mission ten days ahead of schedule in exchange for half a million dollars, it's not that Qi Ji is ignorant. The daily salary of 50,000 is already a sky-high price, and his current labor is completely disproportionate to the income.
"I can promise."
Qi Ji clearly felt the strength of his embrace tightened.
"But..." He didn't finish his words, "May I wear a thicker coat? Maybe I need to put on a coat or something. I'm afraid my skin is sensitive...it will be uncomfortable."
Qi Ji asked carefully, but the other party agreed very happily.
"Can."
It's not even ten o'clock, not to mention Pei Yusheng, even Qi Ji's sleep time has not arrived. The two of them continued to work for a while before they were ready to go to bed, following their previous habit.
The familiar way of getting along, followed by the never-before-seen co-sleeping. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. Qi Ji had not had the experience of sharing a bed with anyone for many years. When he took a shower, he had to brush his teeth twice before remembering that he had already washed his face.
Pei Yusheng was one step ahead of him. When Qi sent it out, the man had turned off the computer and was leaning on the bedside and flipping through an old book.
It was rare for Pei Yusheng to finish work so early, and Qi Ji didn't even dare to look at him at first. It wasn't until he got too close that he couldn't get any closer, and he didn't realize that the book's cover looked so familiar.
"Old News of the Xu Family - From the Ship Kingdom to the Xinghai Empire" - was actually a book brought back by Qi Ji.
This book is also part of Xinghai's information given by Lina. Qi Ji brought it back as a bedtime reading, but Pei Yusheng saw it unexpectedly.
Hearing the movement, Pei Yusheng's eyes lifted from the page.
He put the book away and watched Qi Ji walk to the bed.
"Turn off the lights."
As soon as the voice fell, Star, who had already connected to the operating system of the nursing home, turned off the headlights.
There was only one night light left in the house, and under the dim yellow light, the shadow of the man's silhouette grew thicker.
Qi Ji swallowed unconsciously.
He took a deep breath silently and sat down beside the bed.
Qi Ji gently moved herself to the bed, lay down carefully, and slept on the farthest side of the big bed.
There, even the newly prepared pillow on the bed can only rest on one corner.
The man beside him was already lying down, the night light went out, and the surroundings were completely dark.
For a long time, there was no movement in the room. Even the night wind outside the window stopped, and there was only silence.
Looking at the darkness in front of him, Qi Ji took a deep breath slowly and silently.
He closed his eyes and turned to face the inside of the bed.
It was quiet.
Nothing happened.
Maybe he lay too far? Qi Ji let out a small breath, and moved a little closer to the other person.
Still no movement.
Qi Ji moved again, but the man beside him seemed to have forgotten the request he made, and remained motionless. It wasn't until Momo's third time that Qi Ji was so puzzled that he wanted to open his eyes to look, and then he suddenly felt a little heat.
"...!"
The next second, he was embraced by an arm.
This time Qi Ji was carried farther away, more than the three times he had moved before combined. The man's chin just touched the top of Qi Shifa, but he didn't press it down so hard that it wouldn't make him feel uncomfortable.
But in fact, this distance was enough to make Qi Ji uncomfortable.
He is facing the man's chest, his big legs are next to each other's big legs, the distance is very close, his upper body is still surrounded by arms, he is really being held as a doll. As soon as Qi Ji took a breath, he could smell the special breath on the other side, and he could clearly hear the breathing above his head.
This position is actually not suitable for sleep, right? Qi Ji thought about it randomly. He switched positions and thought about it. If he couldn't sleep, he definitely didn't want someone to be too close to him, and the sound of breathing would be noisy.
But unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Qi Ji to find out that Pei Yusheng actually fell asleep.
The sound of heartbeat and breathing in my ears became extremely regular, and the sleep recorder not far from the bed also flashed quickly, starting tonight's work early.
Qi Ji was so surprised that he almost forgot the rigid response to close contact with people.
Accompanying him these days, he has personally witnessed the severity of Pei Yusheng's insomnia, not only those complicated examinations and treatments, but no matter how late he sleeps every night, he has never seen Pei Yusheng close his eyes. The sleep recorder has never captured Pei Yusheng's sleep records before two o'clock.
But it's clearly not twelve o'clock now.
Qi Ji was a little unbelievable, but when his mind changed, he remembered the night he just came back from the studio.
The man who was out of control broke into the guest bedroom that day, pressed down and hugged him, unable to resist or struggle, but fell asleep in less than ten minutes.
Probably... President Pei really needs company.
Qi Jiu thought about it, and was relieved that Pei Yusheng had a smooth sleep tonight.
To be honest, let alone personal experience, even watching Pei Yusheng stay up late like this, he would inevitably feel frightened.
The other party can finally take a rest, and Qi Ji will naturally be happy for them. But now, he himself is facing a huge problem.
He and Pei Yusheng were too close.
Although he didn't directly press down and hug him as compared to last time, but now at this distance and this posture, once there is contact with Qi Ji, Qi Ji will not only be affected, but will be completely exposed at the first time, and he can't hide it.
Even though the effect of the drug had almost subsided, Qi Ji was still unsure of how his body would react.
This is also the main reason why he hesitated before agreeing to the other party.
But now that the matter has come, Qi Ji can only rely on active thinking to divert his attention, trying desperately to think about some things.
Just like now.
Although he knew that his life would always encounter all kinds of accidents, he still did not expect that he would one day sleep in the same bed with others.
Not to mention that the object is the man in front of him who suppressed him for the first time.
Qi Ji quietly raised his head and looked at the sleeping face of the man in the dark.
Only at this time, the other party is not so keen on the line of sight, and can let Qi Ji watch.
From their first acquaintance to their friendship, their relationship has not been harmonious. Until now, Qi Ji has not been able to dispel that subconscious vigilance.
After all, aside from other things, Qi Ji is really not good at getting along with people.
There were also people who tried to approach Qi Ji before and wanted to have a deeper relationship with him. But Qi Ji was burdened with huge debts and did not want to drag others down. He can't take off the mask of disguise, and he can't take it off, and those arrows will all die.
But Pei Yusheng was different from them.
Qi Ji thought about the reason. He thought it might be because of money, but this reason couldn't explain why Qi Ji didn't have such a deep intersection with other bosses and those wealthy and prosperous.
After thinking about it, Qi Ji couldn't find a better reason.
He didn't expect that he would progress to this level with another person, nor did he expect that a person like Pei Yusheng who was invincible and what he wanted would show his fatal weakness in front of him.
Like a powerful beast, showing the wound of its soft abdomen.
Qi Ji didn't even know how to describe the complicated feelings after coming into contact with them.
He is really not good at this. He feels at a loss even when facing the concerns of his colleagues, let alone getting along with another person more deeply.
The room was quiet, Qi Ji was thinking about it, and he couldn't find any clue. He felt that his mind was still active and running clearly, but he didn't know that in the process, his reason had gradually slipped into a dazed sleep.
Qi Ji naturally didn't notice that his body's resistance response was much weaker than expected.
The body's drowning continued to sink with reason, and the sound of regular breathing was still in his ears.
Qi Ji was in a daze, and remembered the heartbeat he heard when he was nestled in his chest today.
That kind of beating sound does give people a sense of security. In that tense situation, the heartbeat told Qi Ji that someone was with him.
This feeling of reassurance also aids sleep.
Before she knew it, Qi Ji, who thought she would be held awake all night, quietly fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
***
When Qi Ji woke up and wanted to move his body in a daze, he realized that the man beside him was still there under the reminder of his high body temperature.
Qi Ji was stunned for a moment.
President Pei actually slept for so long this time?
During this period of time, Pei Yusheng would stay in bed at most until four o'clock, then he would get up in the morning to exercise, come back to take a shower, and start a new day's work.
But now Qi Ji's field of vision is full of light, the sky is already bright, the light from the outside sees in, it is obviously past six o'clock.
Does listening to the heartbeat sound so useful... Qi Ji pondered vaguely and tried to open his eyes, but was frightened by what he saw before his heartbeat suddenly accelerated——
The current posture of the two is not like last night when the man reached out and hugged him, but instead Qi Ji hugged each other tightly, nestled in the arms of the person and refused to let go.
Qi Ji almost didn't jump out of the other's arms.
Why does he hold someone else? !
Qi Ji's instinctive reaction was to check himself. Now that he is so close to people, he doesn't even dare to make big moves.
Fortunately, there was no need to check, so Qi Ji confirmed that he was indeed unresponsive.
This is to avoid the most embarrassing scene.
But the scene in front of me is just a little bit better than the most embarrassing. Qi Ji couldn't figure it out at all, he obviously felt uncomfortable even touching him, how could he hug someone and sleep so deeply, and he didn't have a reaction yet.
What exactly is going on?
Qi Jizheng was puzzled and uneasy, and the person he was holding before had already noticed his sobriety.
A calm voice sounded not far from above.
"morning."
Qi Ji froze for a moment: "...Mr. Pei is early."
"I'm sorry, I just..." Qi Ji really didn't know how to describe the fact that he was holding the other party, so he could only cover it up vaguely, "Don't disturb President Pei's rest, right?"
Shame also said that Qi Ji was most worried that his outrageous actions would affect Pei Yusheng's rare rest.
Fortunately, Pei Yusheng denied it: "No, I fell asleep."
Qi Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
He got up in a hurry, rang the notification bell in the room, and asked the restaurant downstairs to prepare their breakfast.
Not long after the bell rang, the doctor who received the news also rushed over to give Pei Yusheng a routine morning checkup.
As a result, just after seeing the record of the sleep recorder, the doctor was absent-minded and surprised: "My God!"
Qi Ji, who was wearing a coat, looked over curiously.
He also has the habit of looking at the sleep recorder after getting up, but he was a little flustered by the accident today, and he didn't have time to look at it.
But also know that the sleep time should be longer this time. The man fell asleep before twelve o'clock last night and just woke up. Moreover, Qi Ji also found that the other party's state of getting up in the morning was very good, and it could almost be described as refreshed.
Contrasted with Qi Ji, who was full of doubts.
