You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 157 Sleeping in one bed

"But..." Shen Yuege hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"But what?" Priscilla Chan looked at her daughter with some confusion. "You're married now, why are you still shy?"

Shen Yuege blushed and didn't refute anymore. She was afraid that if she said too much, her fake marriage would be exposed. She could only bite the bullet and help Lu Ran walk to the guest room.

Although it's called a guest room, it was actually Shen Yuege's private room before she started working, and it was later renovated and turned into a guest room.

There was only one large bed in the room.

The princess bed with curtains that Shen Yuege loved most when she was a girl, although the curtains have been removed now, the bed is still very large.

"Mom, this..." Shen Yuege looked at the bed, somewhat embarrassed.

"What's wrong? You two want to sleep in separate beds?" Priscilla Chan said matter-of-factly. "Help him upstairs, you two should get some sleep."

Shen Yuege sighed and could only join Chen Huixian in dragging the unconscious Lu Ran to the bedside.

It seemed that Lu Ran was really drunk. After being tossed around by the two of them, he could only mumble something vaguely before collapsing limply onto the bed.

Priscilla Chan helped Lu Ran take off his shoes and tucked him in. Turning to Shen Yuege, she said, "You should get some rest too. Don't you have to go to the studio tomorrow?"

"Okay, Mom," Shen Yuege replied.

"Remember to keep an eye on Lu Ran tonight. If he throws up, make sure to clean him up."

After giving this instruction, Priscilla Chan gently closed the door.

The moment the door closed, the room fell silent, with only Lu Ran's even but slightly heavy breathing and Shen Yuege's slightly rapid heartbeat.

Shen Yuege stood by the bed and stared at Lu Ran on the bed for a long time.

Lu Ran was fast asleep, his brows furrowing slightly and then relaxing, as if he were having a dream.

Shen Yuege bit her lip, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind: Could he be faking being drunk?

Once the thought came to mind, I couldn't suppress it.

Shen Yuege remembered that during the competition, when the two were in the hotel, Lu Ran had said some ulterior motives to her.

If he was faking sleep this time, Shen Yuege thought it was highly likely.

After all, Lu Ran drank one glass after another tonight without any hesitation.

If he has a high alcohol tolerance, why have I never seen him drink before? If he doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance, he should have gotten drunk long ago.

The more Shen Yuege thought about it, the more reasonable her guess seemed.

"Hmph, you little brat, I've seen through you, haven't I?" Shen Yuege's face showed a smug look.

"Lu Ran?" Shen Yuege called out tentatively first.

Lu Ran on the bed did not react at all.

"Lu Ran, wake up, want some water?" She raised her voice slightly.

Lu Ran remained motionless, and even his breathing began to become steady.

However, Shen Yuege was still not at ease. She tiptoed to the bedside and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Still no response.

She thought for a moment, then stretched out her index finger and gently poked Lu Ran's cheek, even pinching his nose.

After all that fuss, apart from getting Lu Ran to turn over, nothing seemed amiss.

"Really drunk?" Shen Yuege muttered to herself, but inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

She sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Lu Ran's profile, and suddenly felt that this man, who was usually so shrewd and resourceful, looked rather cute at this moment.

Since she couldn't prove whether Lu Ran was faking sleep, Shen Yuege had no choice but to give up.

"Whether you're truly drunk or not," Shen Yuege leaned down and whispered a warning in Lu Ran's ear, so only the two of them could hear, "You better behave yourself tonight and don't cross the line. Do you hear me?"

Lu Ran smacked her lips in her sleep, seemingly responding vaguely with a "Mmm..."

Shen Yuege was slightly relieved and got up to wash up.

By the time she finished tidying up and came back, it was almost 1 a.m.

Lu Ran remained in the same position as before, sleeping soundly.

Shen Yuege looked at the large bed, then at the single sofa in the corner of the room.

The sofa is too small; there's no way I can sleep on it.

She gritted her teeth, and finally lifted the covers, carefully lying down on the other side of the bed.

The bed was large, and the two were nearly half a meter apart.

Shen Yuege lay stiffly with her back to Lu Ran, not daring to move.

The room was quiet; she could clearly hear her own heartbeat and Lu Ran's breathing.

The two sounds intertwined, making the night seem exceptionally long.

Shen Yuege's nerves were on edge for the first half of the night, so she barely slept.

She was constantly alert to any movement behind her, and if Lu Ran turned over even slightly, she would immediately tense up.

Lu Ran slept very soundly, making almost no other movements except for the occasional soft snore.

Gradually, drowsiness crept in.

Shen Yuege's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and her consciousness began to blur.

She told herself: Just a little sleep, it'll be over soon...

Then, she really fell asleep.

...

Lu Ran slept very well that night and even had many dreams.

In his dream, he saw many delicious foods, including his favorite braised pork knuckle, which was fragrant and tender.

Just as Lu Ran was about to open his mouth to eat, the large pork knuckle flew straight at him and hit him in the face.

Lu Ran was jolted awake from his dream by this sudden movement.

When he groggily opened his eyes, he felt something pressing on his face, something soft and even carrying a faint fragrance.

When he regained some consciousness, he was stunned.

It was a foot—a fair, slender, and adorably rounded size 37 foot, resting squarely on his face.

The owner of the foot was sleeping in an extremely unrestrained posture, lying across the bed with his upper body wrapped around the other man's left leg, his chest pressed tightly against the other man's calf, and his face buried in the blanket, fast asleep.

The worst part is that, because it was morning, and because of the close contact with Shen Yuege, Lu Ran had a reaction.

At this moment, Lu Ran couldn't help but recall the words Liu Bei said to Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms period.

Lu Ran instantly regained consciousness and didn't dare to move.

He carefully moved his eyes, observing Shen Yuege's condition.

She was still asleep, breathing evenly, her entire upper body tightly wrapped around her legs, completely unaware of how wild her sleeping posture was. She seemed to be fast asleep, and hadn't even been woken up by the kick she had just received.

At this moment, Lu Ran's brain was working at lightning speed:

What should I do?

If there's any disturbance now and she wakes up, and sees this scene, wouldn't she be in a situation where she can't clear her name no matter what?

He'll definitely be seen as a pervert who took advantage of her while she was asleep.

But not moving... this stalemate isn't a solution, and I'm feeling really uncomfortable. The worst part is I haven't been able to go to the bathroom all night!

Just as Lu Ran was struggling with his inner conflict, he sensed that Shen Yuege seemed to be making a move.

I'm about to wake up!

Lu Ran made a quick decision, immediately closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and pretended to be asleep.

As for going to the toilet, bladder, hang in there a little longer.
