She took a taxi to the villa in Longyu. The guard, recognizing her, let her in without a fuss. Ye Ye entered the hall, and the night watchman looked at her in surprise, “Miss, why are you here?” “Where’s Yu?” Ye Ye asked instead of answering. “Young Master Long has already gone to bed!” the servant replied. “Oh, I’ll go up myself!” Ye Ye went upstairs on her own. The servant didn’t know what else to say.
Familiar with the place, she entered Long Yu’s room with the help of the dim wall lamps and the streetlights outside. She saw a figure under the covers on the bed. Without thinking, Ye Ye climbed onto the bed and leaned her face close to Long Yu’s sleeping face. “Yu—” Ye Ye called softly.
“—Hmm, baby, what brings you here at this hour?” Long Yu’s voice was hoarse. He had known since Ye Ye entered, the scent of her unique perfume was unmistakable. He pretended to be asleep, waiting for her move… “Yu, I’m scared, I’m alone in the apartment…” Ye Ye buried her head into Long Yu’s chest, seeking a safe harbor… So Ye Ye could be scared too, Long Yu smiled, “Okay, baby, come up and sleep!” He patted the bed beside him.
“Mm!” Ye Ye stood up, went to Long Yu’s wardrobe, where he kept clothes for her. With her back to Long Yu, she undressed and changed into a long-sleeved silk nightgown without turning on the light. Though it was dark, her silhouette was still visible. Watching her change so unabashedly in front of him, Long Yu chuckled, “Baby, do you not consider me a man? You’re so bold.”
