Chapter 161 - Sleeping In (1)
When Huo Chengming returned to the Zhong’s mansion, Zhong Yuhuan had already fallen asleep on the couch while clutching onto a big, thick blanket.
Huo Chengming was thinking more clearly now. He walked over to the couch.
Zhong Yuhuan’s eyes were shut tightly. One of her hands clutched a corner of the blanket tightly, making her look even more petite.
Huo Chengming shook his head a bit.
Suddenly, he felt that his mind wasn’t that clear after all.
He bent down and carried her in his arms, then he turned and headed upstairs.
Luckily, his steps were still stable.
Only after he had carried her to the third floor before he recalled that there was an elevator inside the mansion.
Silly him.
Huo Chengming frowned as he put Zhong Yuhuan down on her bed and pulled the blanket over her, before he quickly retreated back to his own room.
He didn’t even bathe or clean up before he crashed onto his bed.
Perhaps, his mind would be cleared after a night’s rest.
Wearied, Huo Chengming closed his eyes.

Zhong Yuhuan was woken up by a call from Yang Sen. He asked when’s the next time she wanted to go take a racing lesson again.
This was the subject that Yang Sen wanted to teach the most. He only wished he could teach her day and night and pass onto her everything that he knew about car-racing.
Car-racing was fun, but after she had gone home and a night’s rest, she was tired.
She thought about it for a bit and set the next time to be ten days from now.
Yang Sen acknowledged happily and then reminded her, “Don’t forget about the contract!”
“Don’t worry. I won’t forget.”
After she had ended the call, Zhong Yuhuan tossed her cellphone aside and got out of her bed to get ready.
After she was dressed and was checking herself out in the mirror, she suddenly remembered that she fell asleep on the couch downstairs last night. So who carried her upstairs?
Zhong Yuhuan pulled open her bedroom door and walked over to Huo Chengming’s room and walked inside of it. Even though the mansion now belonged to her, both Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan insisted stubbornly on keeping the room on the third floor as their bedroom.
Her footstep got closer and closer, but the man in the bed didn’t wake up. He was still sound asleep.
Zhong Yuhuan called out to him softly, “Huo Chengming?”
The man in bed did not respond.
Zhong Yuhuan sat down on the edge of the bed and pinched his nose.
Huo Chengming’s eyes opened wide immediately, and he also grabbed onto Zhong Yuhuan’s wrist reflexively. His eyesight became clearer by the second and finally made out who was sitting on the edge of his bed. He was about to bring his hand back but his hand, touching Zhong Yuhuan’s soft and smooth skin, lingered on her wrist.
“What time did you finally get home last night?” asked Zhong Yuhuan.
With her sitting on the edge of the bed and him lying down, she was sort of looking down at him from a higher place.
From Huo Chengming’s angle, her neck was pale and slender, her chin was beautiful, and that smile on her was also charming…
She had always been a pretty girl.
Ever since the first time she had walked inside that Welfare Service, she was pretty enough to have stunned every kid there.
One would think that he’d have gotten used to her look by now, but at this moment, Huo Chengming reflexively looked away from her. He didn’t know why he did what he did. It was like an instinct that was telling him that he couldn’t spend too much time staring at Zhong Yuhuan.
Zhong Yuhuan, unaware of Huo Chengming’s odd reaction, repeated herself again softly. “Chengming-gege, what time did you get in last night?”
She thought perhaps he only didn’t respond to her because she didn’t address him as big brother?
Huo Chengming recollected himself and said, “I think around 1:30 or so.”
