Chapter 806: Chapter 807: A Sudden Knock at the Door
Yet, just as he had lifted the blanket, set the pillow, and was about to turn off the light and lie down, there was a knock on the door.
His expression taut, he picked up the blanket and pillow with the utmost speed, dashed to the bed, lifted the thin comforter, and quickly lay down!
“You—” A stunned Huo Yishan, seeing him suddenly rush into her comforter, was about to speak, but was silenced by Li Yuan’s gesture.
“Shh.”
At this time, the only person who would knock on the door was his mother.
“Come in.”
Lying down under the comforter, Li Yuan then answered the door, a mere five seconds later.
Soon after, the door was gently pushed open, and Xia Ximeng walked in carrying two glasses of milk.
However, upon seeing the two lying in bed, her expression was slightly stunned.
Because she saw the light still on in her son’s room, she thought they hadn’t slept yet, so she brought the milk over, not expecting her son and future daughter-in-law to have already lain down.
“Mom, you’re still awake so late?”
Xia Ximeng smiled, “Mom saw the light in your room was still on and thought you hadn’t slept yet, so I brought you two glasses of warm milk.”
At this, Huo Yishan instinctively crawled out from under the comforter and sat up in bed, finally understanding why Li Yuan had rushed into her comforter the instant before.
If his mother had discovered they were sleeping in separate beds, she would definitely have been suspicious.
Then, Xia Ximeng handed a glass of milk to Huo Yishan, noticing her face was severely flushed, seeming quite certain it was an inconvenient time for a visit.
Indeed, it was quite inappropriate to barge into her son’s room during bedtime hours.
After handing the other hot glass of milk to Li Yuan and watching him drink it, Xia Ximeng dared not linger even half a second longer and quickly left the room with the empty glasses.
“Rest early, Mom’s leaving!”
After finishing, seeing Li Yuan seemingly about to lift the comforter and get out of bed, Xia Ximeng quickly stopped him, “No need to get up, Mom can leave on her own!”
With her words, Li Yuan indeed stopped his motion to leave the bed, waiting until Xia Ximeng completely disappeared outside the door before the two in bed finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After breathing out, they both simultaneously looked up, and at the moment their gazes met, an inexplicable flush crept over Huo Yishan’s face, adding to her discomfort.
Because at that moment under the comforter, his leg was right against hers.
Quickly averting her gaze, she seemed unable to face him directly, raising her hand to scratch the back of her head, “That…
Seemingly realizing her discomfort, Li Yuan did not trouble her further and got out of bed, taking the blanket and pillow back to the sofa.
However, this time he was cautious, locking the door to prevent his mother from ‘attacking’ again and also to prevent someone from suddenly bursting in the next morning and finding him sleeping on the sofa.
“Good night.”
In the dim light, his deep, resonant voice carried through.
Lying in bed, Huo Yishan was momentarily stunned, then also responded with two words, “Good night.”
That night was not very difficult to endure, and soon, Huo Yishan fell asleep.
As for Li Yuan on the sofa, lying on his side, he watched her sleeping until deep into the early morning before he closed his eyes and slept…
.
After spending two days in Country A, Li Yuan found an excuse to take Huo Yishan back to Jingcheng on the third day.
Only seeing her son for the first time in a long while, Xia Ximeng naturally found it hard to let go.
“Going back already?”
Looking at his mother, Li Yuan smiled gently, “Yes, because there’s a surgery waiting for me, and Yishan is also still working. I will come back to visit you when I have time.”
