What to do if I've locked myself in a book! - Chapter 26

When Ling Qianqian came out of the washroom, Bai Yiyan was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he had gone upstairs to write, or maybe he was in the yard.

Hunger struck, and her body still ached. She conveniently heated up the food on the table and ate it, recalling what had happened in the washroom while she ate. The more she thought about it, the more absurd it seemed, but there were always many things in this world that were beyond comprehension.

Was the one she was talking to really herself from a different dimension? And what was the relationship between the patron mentioned at the end and this whole thing?

There was too much information to digest, making it difficult for her to sort things out.

She took a deep breath and glanced at the gray fabric sofa. Was she really going to have sex with Bai Yiyan there tonight?

Her gaze shifted upwards, and a flash of light caught her attention. Looking closely, she saw that there was indeed a hidden camera in the corner of the wall diagonally above the sofa.

Cheng Ye was truly perverted. Perhaps if she let him see her having sex with Bai Yiyan in the living room tonight, it would dispel his doubts, allowing him to properly return to the main storyline and stop obsessing over her.

To achieve this goal, she didn’t necessarily have to actually do it with him. In fact, as long as they colluded in advance, struck a pose using forced perspective, and acted it out, making Cheng Ye mistakenly believe they were having sex, the goal would be achieved.

Thinking of this, she suddenly perked up.

After finishing her meal, she couldn’t find him in the yard, so she went up to the third-floor study.

The study door was tightly closed, which was a bit strange. Usually, whether he was inside or not, the study door was always open.

Dong dong—Ling Qianqian stopped at the door and lightly knocked on the door with her knuckles. “A-yan, are you there?”

She waited for a while, but there was no response from inside. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a voice came from the room, “Come in, Qianqian.”

She noticed that the man’s voice was a bit hoarse, and wondered if he was sleeping inside and she had woken him up.

When Ling Qianqian walked in, Bai Yiyan was facing away from her, sitting at his desk, looking like he was writing. This was rare, because he usually only started writing at night.

“Did I interrupt your train of thought?”

“No, I thought of some ideas and was just jotting them down. Sit.”

Whether it was her imagination or not, his voice sounded a bit hoarse, like someone who had just woken up, with a hint of indescribable strangeness.

She sat down on the sofa next to the desk. As she walked over, she noticed that there was an open book lying on Bai Yiyan’s lap, its cover facing up, covering his crotch like a triangular roof, which seemed a bit out of place.

Looking closely, his eyelashes seemed to be coated with a layer of glistening mist, and the corners of his narrow eyes had a rare touch of red, as if adding a subtle hint of carnal desire to his usually aloof and handsome face.

“Ayan, there’s a troublesome matter… I’d like to ask for your help.”

She nibbled on her lower lip somewhat hesitantly, wringing her fingers together.

The man put down his pen, slightly turned his body, and gave a faint smile. He remained seated in his writing chair without directly facing her. “Tell me, if it’s something I can help with.”

As she spoke, she told him about her desire to pretend to be a couple with him on the living room sofa that night. The reason she gave was that she didn’t want to be pestered by Cheng Ye, so she hoped to make Cheng Ye believe that she and Bai Yiyan were in love through the surveillance footage.

“That’s the situation… If you find it inconvenient, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“It’s not a difficult thing. I have no problem with it.”

“That’s great.”

Ling Qianqian didn’t expect him to agree so readily. This time, she could finally achieve her goal without completely following the ‘prompt’.

She excitedly stood up to leave, but as she walked in front of him, she stumbled, her calf hitting the corner of the coffee table. Coupled with the fact that her body was already sore and weak, she lost her balance and fell.

“Careful!”

Bai Yiyan didn’t have time to catch her. The woman had already fallen in front of him. Her hands grabbed onto his thighs, and her entire face pressed against the book covering his crotch. Through the open book, she seemed to feel something hard hidden underneath, pressing against the pages. She suddenly realized her embarrassing situation, and her face flushed red to the roots of her hair.

Thump thump—

Her heart pounded wildly. She quickly removed her hands from his strong thighs, grabbing haphazardly at the edge of the desk, eager to stand up. She didn’t dare to look at his reaction, wondering what the man would think.

As she stood up, the book also slipped to the ground due to inertia. In her peripheral vision, the large bulge between his legs was excessively prominent, intruding into her field of vision.

Suddenly, all his strange behavior from earlier seemed to fall into place.

Could it be that she had failed to ‘cuddle and hug’ him downstairs earlier, causing him to… get aroused?

He wants to sleep with you.

The shameful prompt began to act up again, repeating endlessly in her mind, causing her already flushed face to become even hotter, and her heartbeat to accelerate even further.
