Chapter 240: A Sleepless Night
When Xiao Yun came out of the bathroom, he was bare-chested, wearing only a pair of loose shorts and slippers.
At that moment, Qin Yun was sitting under the Table Lamp on the sofa, flipping through a thick book. Hearing the sound of slippers on the floor, she slightly raised her head.
As she looked up, her eyes landed on Xiao Yun walking towards the bed. Uh, why is this guy not even wearing a shirt? What kind of behavior is this?
But when she took a second glance at him, she couldn't believe her eyes. Huh? How did those scars on his body disappear in an instant?
“Xiao Yun, what happened to your injuries…” Qin Yun put down the book and rubbed her eyes to ask.
“Oh,” Xiao Yun smiled, “Sister Yun, while you were taking a shower, I practiced my luck and healed those injuries!”
Uh, it sounded like nonsense to Qin Yun: “You can heal yourself and remove scars?”
Xiao Yun chuckled and said, “Hehe, just a little secret technique!”
“So you’re saying your injuries are completely healed?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, since you’re healed, you should go home and get some sleep!” Qin Yun urged.
!!!
Upon hearing this, someone wished he could just beat himself up right then and there.
Damn it, what was he thinking healing his injuries? Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?
“Sister Yun, let me explain…”
Xiao Yun was suddenly anxious and said, "It's not safe now that your bodyguard is not by your side. Let me stay close to you for now!"
Qin Yun shook her head with a smile and replied, "You don't need to worry about that. I know my bodyguard very well. Although I asked him to go downstairs to find a room to rest, he will always keep an eye on my safety."
"But..."
"But what?"
"I'm still feeling a bit dizzy. You know, after being ambushed by several people in one night, even a bull would turn into a little sheep..." He seemed to be deliberately trying to stay.
There was another layer of meaning in his words; even if he were to cuddle with this Beautiful Hall Master tonight, he would still just be a little sheep in front of her, lacking the energy for anything else...
Sigh, but speaking of which, when did the esteemed Master Xiao ever admit to being cowardly in front of a beautiful woman?
Hearing him say this, Qin Yun thought it made sense. After all, those people were the strongest experts around Long Yan. Xiao Yun must have exerted a lot of effort to defeat them...
She glanced at his strong, bare torso and said lightly, "Then put on some clothes!"
"It's fine, I'm not cold!" Xiao Yun replied nonchalantly.
This stubborn fool didn't realize how inappropriate it was to be bare-chested in front of a woman?
Qin Yun almost bit her lip as she said, "I'm not worried about you being cold; I just find it distracting... being so bare..."
But despite saying that, she didn't insist any further.
Saying too much would only make it seem like she was overthinking things.
"Oh!" Xiao Yun said with a hint of annoyance as he put on his shirt.
In the next moment, Qin Yun caught a glimpse of a certain part of someone and was almost startled enough to scream.
Below that guy, it looked like there was a steel rod propping up his shorts, and without needing to think, Qin Yun knew exactly what that object was.
"Xiao Yun, you..."
"Sister Yun, what's wrong with you?"
That guy had an innocent look on his face, completely oblivious to the fact that what was below had already invaded the beautiful woman's captivating gaze.
Qin Yun struggled to swallow and said, "Oh, it's nothing... How about this, you sleep on the bed, and I'll read on the sofa."
Xiao Yun asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to sleep on the bed?"
"Do you really think I would sleep on the same bed as you?" Qin Yun replied with the same astonished tone.
Uh,
Xiao Yun was momentarily speechless.
Pfft!
Seeing Xiao Yun's silly expression, Qin Yun couldn't help but laugh.
For some reason, at that moment, something unusual stirred within her heart, as if a warm current had risen up, making her feel a sudden tingling sensation all over.
To be honest, it was her first time being alone in a room with someone at such an hour, but she didn't feel anything wrong about it.
What exactly was the reason? Even she couldn't explain it clearly.
If Long Yan were to find out, it would definitely make that girl furious enough to spit blood.
Thinking of Long Yan, Qin Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt towards the guy in front of her. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been ambushed tonight.
Fortunately, his skills were truly unexpected. It is known that for anyone, no matter how skilled, escaping the attack chosen by Long Yan from Wulong was nearly impossible.
This was Qin Yun's first time telling Old Dragon that she wanted to choose Xiao Yun as Wulong, and she didn't expect it to lead to such a bloody incident.
She glanced at Xiao Yun and found him awkwardly standing by the bed, unable to sit or stand comfortably. She couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated, playfully saying, "Alright, I was just joking with you. Hurry up and get into bed. This bed is quite big anyway, and I'll be sleeping here too."
Fortunately, there were two blankets on the bed, so they could each have one.
"Really? Sister Yun is so good to me!" Xiao Yun exclaimed joyfully.
What does that even mean? Sharing a bed with you is being good to you?
Qin Yun felt almost faint from embarrassment.
She shot him a fierce glare and warned, "Hmph, don't think too much! I'm telling you, don't move around in bed. You’re not allowed to touch me!"
"I understand," Xiao Yun replied with a cheeky grin. "The best thing about me is that if a woman doesn't take the initiative, I never force myself on her. Besides, being able to share a bed with Sister Yun, even if we can't sleep under the same blanket, is already a blessing I've earned in my past life!"
This made Qin Yun feel like she might faint again. What on earth was going through this guy's mind?
She decided not to engage with him further and took her side of the bed, each having their own blanket.
Hehe, finally sharing a bed with the Beautiful Hall Master.
Xiao Yun felt delighted inside but couldn't suppress the stirring of his emotions; there was a warmth in his lower abdomen and an irresistible impulse bubbling within him.
No, the woman lying beside him is neither Cold as Ice, nor Luo Mingyue, Nie Xiaoqian, or Tang Yan. She is a high-ranking official from the province, the highest leader of the Dragon Team in Jiangnan Province...
For such a noble woman, one must not act recklessly!
It seems that to truly win this woman over, he must take his time.
To avoid losing control and putting himself in danger, Xiao Yun decided to press on his sleep point. Just as he was about to drift off, he thought to himself:
Hehe, Sister Yun, sooner or later you will become my woman!
At that moment, Qin Yun had no intention of sleeping. She turned over and heard a steady snoring coming from the foot of the bed.
This guy actually fell asleep?
She sat up, curled her body, propped herself up with her hands on the bed, and quietly crawled over to Xiao Yun. Looking at his sleeping face, an unexpected thought popped into her mind:
This wooden man!
Quickly, she was startled by her own thought.
—What’s wrong? Do you actually have some feelings for this guy?
Uh, that’s impossible. This is only our second meeting. In terms of status and other aspects, we are not from the same world.
But so what? Aren't you just a Deputy Director? Besides this nominal position, what else is so impressive about you?
At this moment, Qin Yun hugged her knees and quietly sat beside Xiao Yun, observing his sleeping posture while her mind wandered.
What kind of person is this guy really?
Although she had already received plenty of information about Xiao Yun from Ouyang Bing, in her mind, Xiao Yun remained an unsolvable mystery.
It is this man before her who, in just a few short months, has caused enough uproar after moving from the countryside to the city that both Song Chaoyang in Beijing and Wilson in America are devising ways to deal with him. Even the military of the Island Nation has developed a keen interest in him.
Qin Yun knows that for Xiao Yun, these events are just the beginning, and it remains uncertain what more perilous and bizarre occurrences lie ahead.
She can also see that although Xiao Yun has been selected into the Dragon Team's Wulong unit, he will not be as devoted to the Dragon Team's affairs as the other members. From the information available, it is clear that he is not accustomed to being constrained by others; he has always acted freely, like a wild horse roaming across the plains or a wayward son wandering the world. No one can easily rein him in.
Given his temperament, will he face disdain from the Old Dragon or conflict with other high-level members of the Dragon Team? After all, there are many like Long Yan within the Dragon Team, and some may even surpass her.
This is not without precedent. There have been members of the Dragon Team who could not endure its strict constraints; some were unable to settle down for life, while others fled midway, resulting in some being hunted for life, some imprisoned on remote islands, and others left to die in the wilderness.
For members of the Dragon Team, there are too many secrets known only to them. Once one steps into the Dragon Team, there is no option to withdraw.
Thus, it has been said within the Dragon Team:
"Joining Wulong in the Dragon Team means taking national security and interests as one's own responsibility, obeying orders without question, with no alternatives. In their eyes, there are no trustworthy friends or family; at any time and place, one is destined to live a life of solitude!"
Because of this, most members of the Dragon Team have eccentric personalities and ruthless natures.
In an instant, Qin Yun seems to regret her decision. She truly wonders if bringing someone like Xiao Yun into the Dragon Team will harm his future path in life.
After thinking it over, Qin Yun found herself unable to sleep all night. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
