Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Su Qinghe: Your phone is digging into me

"Mmm..."

In the darkness, Su Qinghe rolled over and let out a soft hum.

Perhaps because Gu Yifan’s body was so warm, she subconsciously snuggled deeper into his embrace in her sleep.

Noticing her movement, Gu Yifan smiled helplessly once more. He reached out and gently held her, adjusting her position so she could sleep more comfortably.

A beauty was in his arms, yet he didn’t have a single indecent thought.

A little while later, without realizing it, Gu Yifan also drifted off to sleep.

...

「The next day,」

6:00 AM sharp.

The morning sun filtered through the white gauze curtains, casting its rays onto the windowsill. The warm sunlight felt pleasant as it fell upon them.

"BZZZT—BZZZT—"

The vibration of a phone alarm suddenly went off.

Gu Yifan was jolted from his sleep. His eyes were still closed as he groggily and habitually reached for the nightstand beside him.

????

Gu Yifan froze for a second.

The next second!

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Su Qinghe staring at him, her own eyes wide.

Their eyes met.

Gu Yifan was a little dazed. Following her gaze, he looked down and saw... his right hand was tightly clasping Su Qinghe’s hand?

’This...’

"..."

"Ngh~"

WHOOSH. A blush instantly flooded her face as she stared at Gu Yifan in dumbfounded shock!

"C-Can you let me go first?"

Su Qinghe bit her lip, her voice a mixture of shame and indignation.

"Oh, right..."

Gu Yifan finally snapped back to reality and quickly pulled his hand away.

"Ahem."

"So, uh... if I said that wasn’t on purpose, would you believe me?"

He rubbed the tip of his nose awkwardly and said with a sheepish grin.

Su Qinghe was speechless, her expression one of utter exasperation.

She bit her lower lip, her face crimson, and shot Gu Yifan a look of indignant embarrassment.

The meaning in her eyes was obvious—’I’m not an idiot! Do you really think I’m that dense?!’

Gu Yifan understood the meaning in her eyes!

The atmosphere was incredibly awkward!

Gu Yifan’s cheeks flushed, but he quickly composed himself.

"Heh heh."

"So, uh, when did you wake up?"

He chuckled awkwardly, trying to change the subject.

"I..."

Su Qinghe was just about to speak!

Suddenly!

"Ngh."

Su Qinghe let out a muffled grunt.

She felt something hard pressing against her uncomfortably, and her brows furrowed slightly.

In fact, that was what had woken her up in the first place!

"What’s wrong?"

Gu Yifan asked, confused, seeing her brows knitted together.

"There’s... there’s something hard pressing against me. Did you... Did you drop your phone on the bed?"

Su Qinghe asked, her brow still furrowed.

As she spoke, she began fumbling under the covers, apparently trying to pull out this "phone"!

After a moment of groping around.

Finally!

"Hmph!"

Gu Yifan’s eyes flew open!

"Stop, stop, stop!!"

He shouted, trying to stop her.

’Huh?’

’Why?’

Su Qinghe looked at Gu Yifan, completely bewildered.

"Hiss..."

Gu Yifan sucked in a sharp breath of cold air and looked at her with a wronged expression. "Su Hanhan!"

Hearing Gu Yifan’s cry, Su Qinghe lowered her head, completely flustered and not daring to meet his gaze.

For a moment, an indescribably awkward atmosphere filled the room.

Gu Yifan: "..."

Su Qinghe: "..."

After a long silence.

"I... I’m sorry..."

"I... I didn’t do it on purpose."

Su Qinghe whispered weakly, her face beet red.

"Sigh."

Gu Yifan glanced at her and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it. Let’s just leave it at that."

"We’re even!"

He said, waving his hand dismissively.

Hearing his words, Su Qinghe’s eyes went wide as she stared at him.

"E-Even...???"

Su Qinghe was at a loss for words.

She knew exactly what Gu Yifan meant!

But on second thought, what he said wasn’t exactly wrong. It actually sounded quite reasonable!

So, she could only remain silent.

’What else can I do?!’

’I’m the one who just messed up.’ 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

’Should I agree?’

’Or not?’

’So!’

’The best strategy right now is to shut up and play dead!’

But whenever Su Qinghe thought about what just happened!

She wished she could find a crack in the floor to crawl into and be remade from scratch. It was just too humiliating!

Su Qinghe’s face was burning hot as she buried her head deep under the covers.

’I’m too embarrassed to face anyone!’

*Sob sob sob...*

Watching Su Qinghe bury her head under the covers like an ostrich, Gu Yifan found it rather amusing.

But then again, it made sense. Although they hadn’t crossed that final line, their relationship was already very intimate.

Still, having a "train wreck" like this first thing in the morning was definitely a bit awkward.

"The first time I saw your shy smile, it was a signal of love sent to me... In this chaotic world, the beauty of a fluttering heart, I love to kiss you gently in my embrace..."

Just when the two of them were at the peak of their awkwardness, a phone’s ringtone shattered the tension.
