Taking advantage of him entering the kitchen, Xia Lu immediately turned around, grasped two mobiles in her hands, and ran upstairs with quick steps. She placed one on the bedside table and tucked the other under her pillow before lying down and covering herself with the blanket.
Her heart was pounding, devoid of any sleepiness, yet she forced herself to close her eyes. Within two minutes, Zhou Mingchen returned to the room, pulled the blanket aside, and got into bed without speaking. Xia Lu sensed the bedside light going out; he didn't say anything but covered himself with the blanket and directly went to sleep. In the darkness, she opened her eyes; the curtains blocked the light too well, making it hard to adjust to the dark and she couldn't make out his outline.
Luckily, luckily he just got up to drink some water and didn't notice that the phones weren't on the bedside table, she thought.
