After hearing this voice, Su Cheng's expression froze, and he turned his stiff neck and lowered his head following the voice.

As soon as he lowered his head, Su Cheng saw Alyssa's face in front of him.

Alyssa was raising her head and looking at him blankly.

At this moment, Su Cheng and Alyssa looked at each other, and their eyes happened to meet. Alyssa's light green eyes and red lips were less than a finger's distance in front of Su Cheng's nose.

Looking at Alyssa's beautiful face, Su Cheng forgot to look away from his face and eyes for a moment.

However, Su Cheng reacted quickly and hesitated with a slightly red face:

"Then, that... Alyssa... our current postures... but, there may be some misunderstandings... inside..."

"Hmm..."

Alyssa didn't seem to wake up yet. She continued to murmur softly and greasyly with a confused look on her face, then turned her eyes around Su Cheng's face, which was very close to her own.

Then, Alyssa lowered her head and looked at her body being hugged tightly by Su Cheng.

Finally, Alyssa raised her head again and looked at her left hand, which was clasped with the fingers of Su Cheng's right hand.

After seeing her left hand clasped tightly with Su Cheng's right hand, the confusion on Alyssa's face dissipated quickly.

At the same time, Su Cheng also saw Alyssa's face turning red rapidly.

"...?" Alyssa whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "Last night they were just holding each other normally, why did they become clasped together this morning..."

Alyssa's voice was so low that even if she listened carefully, she couldn't hear clearly, so Su Cheng didn't hear what Alyssa was saying just now.

At this time, Su Cheng was racking his brains to think about how to solve the current "dilemma"

"Ai, Alyssa!" Su Cheng said in a panic, "I, I, the reason why I held you, there must be some misunderstanding! I promise you, I will never take advantage of you to sleep.

, secretly hug you or something!"

"...let me go now..."

"Ha ha?"

"I said let me go! While saying that there was some misunderstanding in holding me, I continued to hold me tightly! How can I believe you when you call me like that?"

"Ah! Hug, sorry!"

Su Cheng hurriedly let go of Alyssa in his arms, and at the same time released his right hand that was tightly clasped with Alyssa's left hand, then retreated to the bed and distanced himself from Alyssa.

"I really didn't secretly hug you while you were sleeping!" Su Cheng continued to defend in a panic, "When I woke up, I found that I was hugging you... I'm so, so sorry! I definitely wasn't.

on purpose!"

After saying that, Su Cheng, who was sitting by the bed, bowed his head deeply toward Alyssa, closed his eyes tightly, and gritted his teeth.

The reason why I lowered my head was because I wanted to sincerely apologize to Alyssa.

Rather, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth because he was preparing for the beating that might be coming.

Although he and Alyssa were good friends, such an intimate hug was still too much.

This is especially true for Alyssa who is easily shy.

Alyssa might get angry and beat him to relieve her anger.

Therefore, Su Cheng is now ready to be beaten up by Alyssa later.

However... when Su Cheng closed his eyes tightly and prepared for the coming beating,

"...Let's change clothes quickly."

"?"

Su Cheng raised his head in astonishment and looked at Alyssa in surprise.

"I said change your clothes quickly." Alyssa said angrily.

"Is this, is it over?" Su Cheng asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to scold me or hit me?"

"...Why did I scold you and hit you..." Alyssa's cheeks were still slightly red, "Okay, go change clothes quickly. I'll change them in the bathroom. You can change them in the room. Change quickly.

Finished, we two should go home quickly..."

After saying that, Alyssa walked into the bathroom holding the dress she wore last night.

Su Cheng was left alone, sitting by the bed with a blank look on his face.

…

Sand, sand, sand, sand...

Su Cheng and Alyssa walked side by side on the streets of Pendragon.

Along the way, neither of them said a word. The only sound they made was the sound of "rustling" on the snow.

So embarrassing...

Su Cheng secretly said this in his heart while secretly glancing at Alyssa beside him.

The blush on Alyssa's face has not dissipated yet.

Looking at Alyssa's still red face, Su Cheng said silently in his heart:

It seems... when she woke up and found herself being held by me, this incident still had a big impact on Alyssa...

After Su Cheng sighed softly in his heart, he began to think seriously about what he should say now. After all, the atmosphere between him and Alyssa now, even a passerby could see that it was very awkward.

Just when Su Cheng was thinking about what to say, Alyssa suddenly said:

"...Su Cheng, we've reached the fork. Your home is still ahead, so we have to keep going straight, right? So let's separate here. I'm going to go left next."

"Ah, okay, then...goodbye."

"See you."

After the two said goodbye to each other, Alyssa turned and walked towards the left side of the fork.

Looking at Alyssa's leaving back, Su Cheng couldn't help but feel a touch of loss, and thought to himself:

I still couldn't break the awkward atmosphere along the way... I have a headache... I don't know how to face Alyssa in the future, and I don't know if my rude behavior of holding her to sleep will attract Alyssa.

Lisa's displeasure and disgust...

Just when Su Cheng was worrying about whether he would incur Alyssa's displeasure and disgust

Alyssa stopped.

Then he turned around and faced Su Cheng.

There was a rich and tender smile on his face.

"Su Cheng!" Alyssa said loudly to Su Cheng, "What happened from the time we checked into the hotel together last night to now, just treat it as a secret between the two of us!"

"Everything that happened in the hotel last night, and everything that happened this morning, I will keep it secret and won't let anyone know!"

He didn't know if it was Su Cheng's misunderstanding, but he felt that Alyssa seemed to be deliberately emphasizing when she said "everything that happened in the hotel last night."

"So Su Cheng, please keep it a secret too! Everything that happened from the time we checked into the hotel last night to now is a secret between the two of us!"

Speaking of this, Alyssa showed a naughty smile, then stretched out her right index finger and put it on her red lips, making a "silence" gesture.

After seeing Alyssa's naughty behavior, Su Cheng couldn't help laughing, and then replied loudly:

"Well! That's it! I'll keep it a secret!"

After hearing Su Cheng's answer, Alyssa put down her right index finger that was touching her red lips.

As she put down her right index finger, the gentle smile on Alyssa's face became even gentler.

"Su Cheng. Thank you. Because you have always been with me, chatting, joking, and eating and drinking, last night's year-end dinner was not a bad one."

"After attending last year's year-end dinner where no one played with me and a bunch of people harassed me, I had no expectations for the subsequent year-end dinner."

"But"

Alyssa, who was hesitant to speak, took a deep breath.

“After attending this year-end dinner with you, I’m starting to look forward to next year’s year-end dinner!”

He said this with a smile on his face.

Then, Alyssa turned back without waiting for Su Cheng's answer, and walked on the road home with joyful steps.

It was not until this moment that Su Cheng came to his senses.

"...Because you had so much fun with me, are you looking forward to next year's year-end dinner..." Su Cheng said in a low voice.

Then, Su Cheng changed into a joking tone and joked in a low voice:

"Why does it always feel like this is a disguised confession?"

After teasing in a low voice, Su Cheng also put on a bright smile and walked briskly on the way home.

…

…

"Ah, I'm finally home..."
