Ou Luoxin cleared her throat lightly, "Ahem, can you scoot over a bit? I'm feeling a bit hot..."
"Alright." Really scooted over... just a bit.
Ou Luoxin turned over to face away from him, thinking it might be a bit better this way, but this completely unguarded posture only made her more nervous.
So she turned back again.
About ten minutes passed, and still no sign of sleep. Completely at a loss, Ou Luoxin asked softly, "Xiaobai, are you asleep?"
"No, I'm not."
"Shall we chat? Talking might make the awkwardness go away."
"You talk, I'm listening." His lazy, deep voice teased her ears.
"I'll talk, I'll talk... I just want to say, Xiaobai, maybe I should go back to sleep..."
"Why?" Xia Nuobai asked.
Ha, trying to escape? This means she's not completely hopeless.
"I can't fall asleep," Ou Luoxin mumbled.
"Why can't you sleep? Do you have feelings for me? If you just thought of me as a little brother, why would you be nervous? Are you... shy?"
