Mingchen raised an eyebrow, his cool, red lips slightly pursed, his deep eyes shifted slightly, landing on her hand holding his. He stared for two seconds, then looked at her again and uttered two words, "Reason."
Nangong Ran broke out in a sweat. Reason, of course, is to not let you bother my third brother!
But she dared not say it outright, so she said, "I'm scared to sleep alone."
That reason should be enough, right?
It's normal for a girl to be afraid of the dark and such.
"Who did you sleep with every night before?" Mingchen couldn't help but want to laugh. This reason was really absurd.
"I slept with Nangong Xiao," Nangong Ran answered. "I slept with Xiaoxiao every night."
Mingchen: "..."
This explanation really left him speechless, too absurd. Sleeping with a five-year-old kid and you're not scared?
This logic is really...
"What about when Nangong Xiao wasn't there?" Mingchen asked again. Nangong Xiao had gone on a trip with her grandmother not too long ago.
