Chapter 28: Can I Hold You to Sleep?
Wan Feng shook her head again, trying to clear these distracting thoughts. But a warm hand rested on her forehead, followed by a gentle inquiry, “What’s wrong? Do you have a headache? You don’t feel like you have a fever.”
Wan Feng looked up at her. The moonlight shone on her face, making her look like a fairy descended to earth. Her beautiful face, paired with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, made it impossible for one not to fall for her.
By the time Wan Feng reacted, she was already very close to Zhang Can’er. But the person opposite her still had a look of confusion. “What’s wrong with you? I’m asking you, but you’re not saying anything.”
Because they were too close, the hot breath Zhang Can’er exhaled sprayed onto Wan Feng’s face, causing Wan Feng’s breathing to hitch. She quickly pulled away, the bright red tips of her ears betraying her current mood. Her heart was pounding wildly, as if it were about to jump out.
She clutched her chest, not understanding what was wrong with her. She had never had this feeling before. This feeling of being out of control made her panic, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to face Zhang Can’er.
She wanted to escape, to escape to a place without Zhang Can’er, so that she wouldn’t be in this situation again.
But Wan Feng knew that her heart strongly disagreed with this decision. And in the current situation, she couldn’t go anywhere.
Zhang Can’er stared at Wan Feng, who was far away from her, with a puzzled expression and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Is your head uncomfortable?”
Wan Feng didn’t dare to look up, just shook her head as a response.
Zhang Can’er directly turned her to face her and reached out to feel her forehead again. But she was caught by Wan Feng’s scalding hand, and she was startled by the heat for a moment.
“Do you have a fever? Why is your hand so hot?”
“I, I’m fine,” Wan Feng’s voice was slightly hoarse, not as clear and bright as before.
“You look fine?”
Zhang Can’er frowned, not believing her at all.
Wan Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked up slightly and said, “Since you’re awake, I’ll sleep for a while. Can I hold you to sleep?”
If this request were made before the apocalypse, she would definitely be treated as a hooligan and slapped a few times by the girl opposite her. After all, they had only known each other for less than half a month.
But Zhang Can’er was used to it. Every time she leaned on Wan Feng to sleep, Wan Feng’s hand would reach over and wrap around her waist. And she didn’t feel any discomfort. On the contrary, it made her sleep more soundly.
So, Zhang Can’er didn’t think much of it and nodded. But she still asked with some concern, “Are you really okay? You must tell me if you’re not feeling well. Don’t be like a clam and not say anything.”
Wan Feng nodded, got up, and sat down beside Zhang Can’er. Although both of them were thin, the seat was too small. The two of them had to be pressed tightly together to sit steadily.
“Is it very crowded? Should I move over a bit?” Zhang Can’er asked in a gentle voice, looking at the person leaning on her.
“No need, this is fine.”
Wan Feng lifted her body slightly so that the tip of her nose could smell the medicinal fragrance. She wrapped her arms around Zhang Can’er’s waist and soon fell asleep.
Zhang Can’er felt the hot breath on her neck, which made her feel a bit itchy. She couldn’t help but turn her head to the side, wanting to move a little further away.
But with this movement, Wan Feng’s lips pressed against her collarbone. The cool and warm sensation made her feel that something was wrong. But when she looked down, she could only see Wan Feng’s head, so she gave up and peacefully acted as a pillow.
When the sky brightened, the people in the car finally started to move.
Zhang Can’er glanced at her fully charged phone. It was already 10:30 in the morning, almost noon.
But the person on her was still not moving at all. If it weren’t for the even breathing, she would have thought Wan Feng was gone.
Mainly, this person’s sleeping posture was too quiet. From the time she fell asleep until now, she hadn’t moved at all.
Xiao Feng’s eyes were still a bit blurry when she opened them. She stood on the grass and stretched, then walked toward Zhang Can’er.
When she saw the two people hugging each other, her mind was still a bit foggy. “Sister Can’er? Why are you two hugging?”
Xiao Feng’s voice was not loud, but not soft either. Basically, everyone in the car heard it.
Zhang Can’er was stunned for a moment, and her heart couldn’t help but panic a little. But on second thought, they hadn’t done anything wrong. What was there to panic about?
“Oh, Sister Feng’s head was uncomfortable last night, so she wanted to lean on me to sleep for a bit.”
Xiao Feng had a look of disbelief. Looking at Wan Feng, who was almost lying on top of Zhang Can’er, who would believe that she was just leaning on her to sleep?
She squinted her eyes and sized up Zhang Can’er for a while. Seeing no guilty expression, Xiao Feng became a little less confident. Could it be that there was really nothing between these two?
“Why are you still standing here?” Zhang Can’er asked with a frown.
For some reason, she didn’t want others to see Wan Feng sleeping, not even her best friends.
Xiao Feng blinked. She inexplicably felt that Zhang Can’er was a bit angry.
She tactfully walked away. When the others also wanted to come over, Xiao Feng stopped them.
“You guys shouldn’t go over.”
“What’s wrong? I wanted to see what you meant by hugging. I can’t let that Wan take advantage of Sister Can’er,” Xiao Hou said.
“Sister Can’er is willing. It’s none of your business,” Xiao Feng shot him a look, said no more, and turned to leave.
Xiao Hou scratched his head, his mind not quite catching up. He blinked and looked at Xiao Hao and Xiao Li next to him. “What do you mean, Sister Can’er is willing? It’s none of my business?”
The two of them looked at him with some speechlessness. “It means that Sister Can’er is willing to be taken advantage of by Miss Wan. Maybe the two of them are already together.”
Xiao Li said with a hint of helplessness.
Xiao Hou’s eyes widened, and tears instantly filled his eyes. He said with red eyes, “I don’t believe it! I’m going to ask her myself!”
The two of them quickly grabbed him and dragged him away from the car.
Among these few people, everyone knew that he liked Zhang Can’er. He had liked her since he was a child. When he was young, he always said he wanted to marry Sister Can’er. It was only after being sternly rejected by Zhang Can’er after he grew up that he restrained himself a lot. But how could that feeling just disappear?
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken so tactlessly before. It was mainly because he was anxious, afraid that Zhang Can’er would be snatched away.
But Zhang Can’er had already rejected him many times. To be honest, this kind of person was very annoying. But the only good thing was that Xiao Hou knew how to restrain himself and wouldn’t stare at Zhang Can’er all the time. He also knew that this would make Zhang Can’er dislike him.
After the group had eaten, Wan Feng slowly woke up. She squinted her eyes, shaking off the sleepiness. The familiar medicinal fragrance at the tip of her nose made her nuzzle comfortably. But only after she had done it did she remember that she was lying on Zhang Can’er.
With bright red ear tips, she quickly got up.
“Is your head any better?” Zhang Can’er asked in a gentle voice. She had always thought that Wan Feng’s head was uncomfortable, but Wan Feng didn’t want to say it, so she couldn’t ask further.
“I… I’m much better. Thank you.” She had wanted to say that she didn’t have a headache, but yesterday, for the sake of her own desires, she had made an unreasonable request. She still felt it was better to let Zhang Can’er continue to think so. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why she had suddenly made that kind of request. God only knew how fast her heart had been beating after she said those words.
