Chapter 220: 219 The Legendary Strategic Balance
When Wang Heng returned to the room, he saw two girls lying on one bed. Under the warm orange-yellow light, it wasn’t hard to notice the blush on the young girls’ faces, and looking at their disheveled strands of hair… If it weren’t for the fact that both of them were properly wearing clothes, Wang Heng would really suspect if yuri flowers had bloomed here.
“I was only out for ten-odd minutes, and you both fell asleep? So fast?”
After Wang Heng spoke, he observed the two’s reaction.
Han Yixuan seemed to have gotten drunk long ago, lightly closing her eyes, clearly sound asleep.
While Pei Ningle’s performance obviously couldn’t be that natural; hearing Wang Heng’s voice, her thin eyebrows involuntarily twitched, but she still kept her eyes tightly closed.
So now the problem was, if both of them were staying here and not leaving, what about him?
Wang Heng picked up his mobile phone and wallet, standing in place hesitating without moving.
Go out and get another new room?
It was feasible, but this way of avoiding seemed too stiff, right? Moreover, now it looked like Han Yixuan and Pei Ningle were sleeping on one bed; as long as he stayed on the other bed and held firm without moving, naturally nothing would happen tonight. Considering the differences in physiological structure between the sexes, could it be that he, a big boy, could be done in by two little girls? So, no need to be that cowardly?
Of course, the most critical influencing factor was—that it was already past one in the morning; he’d been busy all day and had drunk, tired to the point of just wanting to hurry up and sleep.
Wang Heng hesitated for a while, finally turning off the ceiling light, leaving only a small night light, then lay down on the other bed.
Before Han Yixuan burst in, he had already taken a shower, undressed, and gotten into bed. However, at this moment, he only took off his jacket, with his T-shirt and long pants worn neatly.
Past one in the morning, the black night was silent; the sound of a car passing drifted in from outside the window. The window wasn’t open, so the outside sound was very faint and ethereal. While the young girls’ breathing was a bit clearer.
Wang Heng quietly listened, feeling it was quite subtle.
Originally, he thought that as soon as his head touched the pillow, he could fall asleep quickly. However, at this moment, that indescribably subtle feeling made his sleepiness gradually fade, his mind always staying awake, making it hard to sleep even if he wanted to.
Even with his eyes closed, he could constantly feel conscious that two young girls were not far beside him; as long as he reached out, he could touch…
Tsk, sure enough, it’s a sleepless night.
Just as he was inwardly grumbling, suddenly, a faint sound caught his attention. It sounded like someone was getting up from the bed?
Wang Heng slightly opened his eyes a crack, stole a glance, then perked up. He saw Pei Ningle walk to the side of his bed, slowly bending down… What was this girl trying to do?
————
Pei Ningle stared at the ceiling, her mind perfectly clear.
Not long ago, she had slept, though only briefly, but now she found it hard to fall asleep again for the moment. And the other two people in the room seemed to both be asleep.
To the left, a distance of two or three meters away, was Wang Heng’s breathing.
To the right, was Han Yixuan’s light and steady breathing.
Pei Ningle turned her face, looking at Xiao Xuan, who she couldn’t tell if was friend or foe—after her eyes adapted to the dark environment, even with very faint lighting, it was enough to see the scene before her clearly. And Han Yixuan’s face was already within inches, so even every eyelash was clearly visible.
Those lively peach blossom eyes that always carried a hint of allure were now gently closed, appearing exceptionally serene. Her soft face, in the darkness, was left only in black and white tones, like a young girl still life line drawing painted by an art master.
As she looked, Pei Ningle suddenly had some inspiration.
She subconsciously wanted to hum, but before the first note could float out from her vocal cords, she suddenly reacted, covering her mouth. Keeping quiet and letting the melody flow in her mind wasn’t impossible for her.
But after a while, the melody in her mind got stuck.
Pei Ningle suddenly sat up, her gaze sweeping over Han Yixuan’s body, slightly furrowing her brows. She contemplated for a moment, then suddenly rolled out of bed, stood by Wang Heng’s bed, and stared at him.
At this time, Wang Heng was lying on his back, also sleeping soundly.
Pei Ningle gazed at that refined face, slowly bending down to examine it closely.
Inspiration for the third song, found.
The first was Lost, the second was Dawn, so the third? Three People Traveling or Three People Wandering? But there seemed to be songs already named that…
Just as Pei Ningle was quietly pondering, she suddenly felt her collar at the back of her neck being grabbed.
Immediately after, Han Yixuan’s voice full of chill rang in her ear: “What are you doing?”
Pei Ningle jumped in fright, quickly broke free from the demon claw behind her, turned around and said: “Finding inspiration!”
“Keep your voice down, he’s still asleep!” Han Yixuan pulled her to sit back by her own bed, “And what finding inspiration, isn’t it stealing a kiss?”
Pei Ningle said without thinking: “Of course not, do I look like that kind of person!”
Han Yixuan sneered: “Heh heh…”
Pei Ningle carefully thought about her actions just now, realizing they indeed weren’t easy to explain. Since that’s the case, might as well not explain.
“You can sneak off, can’t I steal a kiss?” Pei Ningle said in a low voice.
Han Yixuan narrowed her eyes: “Sure enough, you wanted to take advantage while I was asleep…”
The two young girls glared at each other, silent for quite a while.
Finally, Pei Ningle lay down and said: “Alright alright, no one think about secretly doing bad things, sleep!”
Han Yixuan also lay beside her, suddenly grabbing her hand, interlocking their fingers, holding tightly.
“This way, you won’t be able to take advantage when I’m not paying attention…” Han Yixuan yawned, “Friendly reminder, I sleep lightly and wake easily.”
Pei Ningle lightly “hmph”ed, saying no more.
————
Wang Heng didn’t open his eyes, but he heard every word of the two young girls’ dialogue.
He didn’t know exactly what Pei Ningle wanted to do, only that this girl had indeed stood by his bed just now, coming very close. As for whether it was to steal a kiss or something, that was unknowable. But considering Pei Ningle’s past performance, he felt that the excuse of ‘finding inspiration’ wasn’t necessarily false.
He also knew that Han Yixuan did sleep more lightly at night, waking easily at any sound. So, had Han Yixuan just now been awakened by Pei Ningle getting out of bed, or was she pretending to sleep to lure the enemy? Similarly unknowable.
The room quickly returned to silence.
Wang Heng quietly listened; the breathing of the two girls on the bed beside him was still clearly audible. It seemed they still hadn’t fallen asleep?
But fortunately, at this point, a wonderful stalemate had formed among the three, which reassured him a lot—no matter what Pei Ningle or Han Yixuan wanted to do, before he could figure out how to cope, the other would first help stop it.
Could this be the legendary strategic balance?
