Chapter 661: Chapter 363: Then Let Taste Sothing Sweet First
The three people at the table were stunned.
ng Wanning had not yet swallowed her dumpling, nearly choking, her face flushed red. She hurriedly took a sip of water, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at Chen Cheng.
i Xiang, whose eyes were originally squinted, suddenly opened them wide, uttering a “Huh?” and dropping her chopsticks on the table.
anwhile, the chopsticks in Yu Xinwei’s hand paused for a mont. She stole a glance at Chen Cheng, then remained calm and composed.
Chen Cheng was montarily taken aback by Li Ya’s sudden question, then let out a helpless smile.
This Li Ya really knows how to make a shocking remark.
He scanned the reactions of the three girls, roughly understanding what they were thinking.
“Of course…” Chen Cheng raised his voice.
“What, what?” Su Liya asked excitedly.
“Everyone sleeps in their own rooms! I have four courtyards in this compound, with more rooms than you can count, isn’t that enough for you?” Chen Cheng said deliberately.
“Oh, uncle, you’re no fun!”
Li Ya pouted, looking disappointed, “I thought you’d say… you’d want to sleep with us!”
This statent made ng Wanning choke again, this ti actually coughing it up, her face growing even redder.
i Xiang covered her mouth while laughing, whereas Yu Xinwei kept her head down, silently eating her dumpling, as if she heard nothing.
Chen Cheng smiled lightly, “Your little brain is always thinking of such nonsense.”
Seeing that Chen Cheng wouldn’t take the bait, Li Ya humd, “Boring, boring. Uncle isn’t fun at all!”
The dinner of dumplings carried a myriad of thoughts, and even after Chen Cheng had finished tidying up the dishes, the question of “where to sleep tonight” was still without a clear answer.
“Well, it’s getting late, let’s all get so rest early.”
With arms akimbo, Chen Cheng distributed the rooms, “i Xiang, you take Li Ya to your room.”
“Wan Wan, you’ll continue to sleep in your room.” He turned to Yu Xinwei, “The east wing room of the main courtyard is empty, you can sleep there.”
Li Ya imdiately jumped up, “Uncle, I want to sleep with you tonight!”
Chen Cheng playfully flicked her forehead, “Don’t make trouble, go back to your room.”
Li Ya covered her forehead, looking at him pitifully, “But I just want to be with you…”
“i Xiang.” Chen Cheng looked at her, and i Xiang understood Chen Cheng’s intention, taking Li Ya by the arm, “Let’s go, let’s go.”
Li Ya was thus dragged to i Xiang’s room, while ng Wanning stood still, “Lord, I’ll go rest too. Happy New Year.”
“Mm, go ahead.”
ng Wanning left by herself too, and Chen Cheng beckoned at Yu Xinwei, “Co, I’ll take you there.”
Chen Cheng led Yu Xinwei through the corridor to the east wing room of the main courtyard.
The cold wind of the winter night blew through the courtyard, the shadows of the trees swaying, casting mottled light and shadow on the stone-paved path.
Yu Xinwei wrapped her coat tightly around her, silently following behind Chen Cheng, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too near.
“This was originally a guest room, it’s been vacant; the bedding and everything are new.”
Chen Cheng opened the door of the wing room, a faint scent of sandalwood wafting out.
The room was not large, but it was clean and tidy, with a carved wooden bed placed against the wall, and a small dressing table beside it.
Chen Cheng turned on the light, saying, “See if there’s anything else you need?”
Yu Xinwei glanced around, “No, I have everything in my suitcase.”
“Alright then.” Chen Cheng smiled, “Rest early.”
He didn’t linger, turning and leaving the wing room, leaving Yu Xinwei alone in the room.
The door of the wing room closed gently, shutting out the cold wind outside, as well as Chen Cheng’s figure.
Yu Xinwei stood in the center of the room, looking around. Although the room was neat and clean, it exuded a sense of unoccupied coldness.
She walked to the bedside, touching the soft bedding, but felt no warmth.
Chen Cheng’s warm room was not far away, as warm as spring, with him there…
At the thought of this, her heartbeat began to accelerate, an inexplicable impulse growing in her heart.
She wanted to find him, to be close to him, to feel his warmth.
She didn’t know why she wanted to do this, just that a voice deep within was urging her not to miss this opportunity.
After a mont of silence, Yu Xinwei still walked back to the door. She knew doing this might be against the rules, but the fluttering in her heart made it impossible to suppress.
“Phew…”
With a long breath, Yu Xinwei made up her mind and suddenly pulled open the door.
On the other side, Chen Cheng, who had returned to his warm room, also let out a long sigh.
This night, it was undoubtedly the most populated night in the courtyard.
Whether it was Xiao ier, Wen Shulin, or i Xiang, Li Ya, or ng Wanning, Yu Xinwei, the six won, each had their own charisma, making it seem like anywhere would do.
“Life like this, hi!” Chen Cheng laughed, “It’s really too hard to choose?”
“Knock, knock, knock…”
This knocking sound was particularly clear in the silent night.
Chen Cheng looked back, seeing a shadow outside the door, thinking to himself, “Who could it be?”
Intuition told him it was Li Ya because only she would have the audacity to co to his place.
He walked to the door and opened it, only to see Yu Xinwei standing outside, still wearing her coat, her hands clasped nervously in front of her.
“What’s up?”
Yu Xinwei looked at the man in front of her, “Well… Brother Cheng… the room… it’s a bit cold…”
Chen Cheng knew her intentions full well but said, “Oh, look at my mory, I forgot to show you where the floor heating switch is.”
He stepped over the threshold, “Co on, let show you. You too, calling in such cold weather would have been fine.”
