By the time Gong Jie and Mu Yazhe returned to their room, Hua Jin was fast asleep on the sofa.
Gong Jie walked over to him to find him sleeping peacefully. For some reason, he stood by the sofa in a daze for a long time. When he realized that he had been staring at the sleeping figure, he frowned, creasing his brow sullenly. He didnât know if it was anger or something else, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked the actor mercilessly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The kick landed squarely on someoneâs butt. That someone jolted in alarm and sat up on the sofa in shock. He shouted, âAhhh! Fire!â
ââ¦â Gong Jieâs expression darkened.
Fire? What sort of fake military intelligence was he reporting?
Very quickly, the man snapped out of that scene in his dream and realized heâd been dreaming. He looked up and saw Gong Jieâs irritated expression. He wasnât sure how heâd woken up, but heâd felt a vague cramp-like pain on his butt.
âWhatâs going on?â Murmuring, he massaged his bottom gently, then glanced towards Gong Jie and immediately sat upright.
âYou⦠youâre back!â Somehow, at first glance, he actually looked like a wife waiting obediently for her husband to return. That knowledge irritated Gong Jie even more.
He snorted. âFire?â
ââ¦â
âWhereâs the fire?â
âUhâ¦â The actor licked his lips and laughed. âA dream. I must have been dreamingâ¦â
In fact, the moment he woke up, he couldnât remember what he was dreaming about. He only felt that he seemed to have jumped off a very high rooftop. In fact, he fell off because someone had kicked him. Behind him, the fire in the building was spreading.
He woke up shouting in fright. It turned out to be a dream. The actor had no idea that Gong Jie had kicked him awake.
Gong Jie shot him a dirty look, and said in an extremely dangerous tone,
âDid you snitch on me to my sister?â
Ah?! The actor felt a sudden pang of guilt and immediately said, âNo⦠no I didnât!â
Gong Jie looked skeptical. âThen why did she chide me today about letting you sleep on the couch?â Yun Shishi had accused him of not being gentlemanly enough, to have let a girl sleep on the sofa. It was too much.
âI ⦠I didnât say anything.â The actorâs voice trailed off as he spoke, obviously guilty.
Gong Jie retorted coldly, âIf you didnât say that, then who did?â
At once, the two men turned their heads to look at Mu Yazhe.
The man casually poured a glass of milk, aware of two different pairs of eyes on him. Without bothering to acknowledge them, he shuffled back to his room like an old cadre.
Hua Jin recoiled for a moment, then said, âWell⦠it doesnât matter. I donât think youâre ungentlemanly!â
âPeople behave like you when they feel guilty.â
He smiled deeply as he spoke. âNo matter. You can have the bed today.â
â⦠????â
The actor looked puzzled.
âEh?â
Just when did the Great Demon King Gong Jie become so reasonable!? It felt abnormal that he should be so kind. He wasnât exactly a meticulous person.
Hua Jin asked, âWhere would you sleep if I slept on the bed?â
âIâll sleep next to you.â
ââ¦â The actor was glad he hadnât drunk the water, or he would have choked on it.
âDonât bother!â He immediately refused. âI⦠Iâd be better off sleeping on the sofa!â
