Overnight (Part 2)

In the Music Academy, Jiang Qiuyi's grades in her major courses were beyond doubt.

However, when it came to cultural subjects, Jiang Qiuyi had always had a severe imbalance in her studies.

In contrast, Chen Wen, although Accounting was chosen for him by his family and he didn't particularly like it himself.

University undergraduate courses weren't too difficult, especially economic majors like Accounting. Basically, if you listened attentively in class and completed your assignments, you could pass comfortably.

So, for Chen Wen, final exams weren't something that required special preparation.

Even his previous three roommates would come to him for his class notes and exam key points.

"You don't have to worry about yourself," Jiang Qiuyi argued unreasonably, giggling. "But you have to help me review my cultural subjects too~ Teacher Chen~"

"Oh," Chen Wen replied, already immersed in his work, carving and drawing on the white peach wood.

Jiang Qiuyi made a gesture in the air, feeling bored. She pouted helplessly and ran out of the workshop to watch dramas.

Chen Wen didn't notice, completely absorbed. After drawing the initial lines, he took out a wood saw and cut off the sword body of Lambent Light.

Compared to Zitan wood, white peach wood was slightly softer and easier to polish.

After the hellish mode of polishing Zitan wood, making Lambent Light was significantly easier.

However, compared to the previous Elucidator, Lambent Light had one difficult point: its circular sword guard.

Its sword guard was not on the same plane as the sword body, but rather wrapped around the hilt like a bracer.

It was aesthetically pleasing but seemed to have no practical use.

This circular sword guard required a curved arc, and it definitely couldn't be made from hard white peach wood.

Chen Wen planned to use high-frequency heating with flames to soften oak into this shape and combine it with the white peach wood sword body.

The design blueprints had been drawn long ago, and now he just needed to proceed with the production step by step.

Since white peach wood was easier to polish, it was estimated that it would be completed in four to five days.

Coupled with the fact that he might need to edit the Elucidator video these few days, Lambent Light should be successfully finished by next weekend.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after preliminary polishing of the sword body, Chen Wen turned off the camera, cleaned up the workshop, and headed to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw Jiang Qiuyi, dressed in pink pajamas, lying on the bed, watching a TV series on her phone.

Jiang Qiuyi was already feeling sleepy, holding her phone, her head nodding, seemingly about to fall asleep at any moment.

But as soon as Chen Wen entered, Jiang Qiuyi immediately perked up, lifted the covers, and burrowed in, wrapping herself tightly.

"..." Chen Wen took out clean clothes from the wardrobe and said as he left, "Don't fall asleep, remember to go back to your own room later."

"Got it~" Jiang Qiuyi agreed verbally, but a sly smile played on her lips, like a kitten that had stolen a sausage.

Seeing Chen Wen leave the bedroom for the bathroom, Jiang Qiuyi quickly took out the eye drops she had prepared and hid them by the pillow.

More than ten minutes later, hearing footsteps in the hallway, Jiang Qiuyi immediately took out the eye drops, put two drops in her eyes, and then lay on her side pretending to be asleep.

So, when Chen Wen walked in, he saw Jiang Qiuyi already asleep on the bed.

This made things difficult...

Chen Wen walked to the other side of the bed, lifted the covers, and sat down, unsure whether to lie down.

He had rented this apartment in Hu City. At the time, he thought that if he lived alone, the bed didn't need to be too big.

So, the bed in his bedroom was not a standard double bed, just a little wider than a single bed.

It was possible for two people to lie down, but after lying flat, they would inevitably brush shoulders, and even touch more private areas.

This put Chen Wen, who had just begun to adapt to steps like holding hands and hugging, in a dilemma.

Maybe he should wake her up...

Thinking this, Chen Wen lowered his head to look at Jiang Qiuyi on the bed, and then froze.

Jiang Qiuyi was crying...

What was going on?

Chen Wen found it strange and leaned closer to observe. He found that Jiang Qiuyi was indeed shedding tears.

Her delicate little face was turned to the side, and tears flowed down her fair cheeks, making one's heart ache just looking at her.

Could she have dreamt of something scary or sad?

Chen Wen scratched his head. Just as he was about to wake Jiang Qiuyi up, he saw her open her eyes and wake up on her own.

"Chen Wen..." Jiang Qiuyi's eyes were teary and pitiful. Upon seeing Chen Wen, she immediately threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

Chen Wen's legs were originally outside the bed. Now, to embrace the girl in his arms, he had to put his legs on the bed, otherwise, his old back wouldn't be able to take it.

Chen Wen had never dealt with such a situation. He stiffened on the bed, mechanically hugging Jiang Qiuyi, unable to say a word.

After a long while, Chen Wen couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Should I send you back to your room to sleep?"

"No," Jiang Qiuyi shook her head, looking up at Chen Wen pitifully. "I had a nightmare."

"..." Chen Wen didn't know what to say and could only ask, "What did you dream about?"

"I dreamt that He Ran was feeding you in the school cafeteria."

"You even dreamed she called you Master, Master, and ran into your arms."

"And she was holding your arm, walking with you in the school."

"Finally, you watched her dance..."

Jiang Qiuyi pouted as she spoke, becoming sadder and sadder, and actually started to cry again.

After finishing, she buried her face in Chen Wen's chest, "I don't care, I'm sleeping with you tonight. Otherwise, as soon as I close my eyes, I'll see the dream I just had. I'm scared~"

Chen Wen was tightly hugged by Jiang Qiuyi, his thoughts still stuck on her previous words, and he was even a little confused.

"Um... who is He Ran?"

"Pfft..." Jiang Qiuyi couldn't help but burst into laughter in Chen Wen's arms, "Giggle giggle giggle! You, how could you be like this! The atmosphere was clearly so good just now, and you ruined it!"

Chen Wen was speechless.

It was normal to not remember someone he met a week ago and hadn't seen since, right?

But none of that mattered.

Seeing Jiang Qiuyi's state, it seemed she had come out of her nightmare, so Chen Wen suggested again, "Should I send you back?"

"No!"

Jiang Qiuyi stubbornly lay down to the side, pulling the covers up to reveal only her bright eyes, "I don't care, I'm sleeping here today anyway."

Chen Wen stared at Jiang Qiuyi until the girl closed her eyes with a giggle.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, he could only shake his head helplessly, turn off the light, and lie down.

As he lay down, his arm immediately touched Jiang Qiuyi beside him.

Because of the hot weather, Jiang Qiuyi's pajamas were very light and thin. Chen Wen could even feel the delicate skin exposed at her waist.

This made him retract his hand and move his whole body a little closer to the edge of the bed.

He turned his head to look at the girl's profile next to him, faintly visible in the moonlight. Chen Wen glanced at the air conditioner – set to 24 degrees.

It was very cool.

But why did he feel so hot?
