Chapter 677: Chapter 377: Even if you follow him, you will still be a living widow
"Ah..." Ivy Miller exclaimed and squatted down, and at that moment, Henry Sullivan also felt awkward.
If it weren’t so dark around them, she would have definitely seen his blushing face.
"You... why are you back again."
"Ahem, the power went out, and I was worried you’d be scared, so I came in to bring you a flashlight."
"Right, then... why did the power go out, is this place some impoverished mountain village?"
"The power goes out here when it’s lights out time."
Ivy bit her lip, "Weren’t you going to boil water for me?"
He put down his phone, "You go inside and wait, I’ll be back in a few minutes."
"Okay."
He groped his way out in the dark, and she picked up his phone and went into the bathhouse, squatting down shyly to wait.
She was timid, not daring to look around; thinking of the moment when they bumped into each other earlier, she also felt shy.
Henry prepared the water and brought it to the door. He turned his back, and she came to take the water inside, quickly washed, and then got dressed and came out.
On the way back, they shared an umbrella again, but this time she wasn’t chattering.
Now it was Henry’s turn to chuckle; it turned out this woman could be quiet at times.
When they returned to his dorm, she was surprised, "You still have power here?"
"This place is not on the same line as over there."
"But there shouldn’t be a power outage."
"It only lasts for an hour, to prevent some people from not turning off the lights when it’s time. It’s a tradition from a long time ago."
She scratched her brow and entered the bedroom as if nothing had happened, "It’s so cold."
Henry prepared cold medicine for her and handed it over, "Drink this before you sleep."
She obediently took it and gulped it down, handing the glass back to him.
He took the glass and said, "You’ve had a long day, you should get some rest."
"What about you?"
"I still have some work to handle, might be up late tonight.
You take the bed, I’ll sleep on the couch in the living room."
Hearing him say that, Ivy felt a bit disappointed, after all, they were already married.
Why was he still avoiding her? Was she going to eat him alive or something?
He opened the air conditioner for her and then closed the door to head to the living room.
She took out her phone and messaged Xiao Qing on WeChat, "Plan to seduce him failed."
It took over ten minutes for the reply to come in, "You’re such a coward."
"Damn it, if you’re so good, you do it."
"If I came, you’d be crying and begging me to teach you the Husband Control Technique."
She sent a disdainful emoji to Xiao Qing, "This guy is getting old, too stubborn."
Xiao Qing couldn’t be bothered to type and sent a voice message, "You’re just a coward. Stand naked in front of him; if he still doesn’t react, you might as well come back.
With your body, if a man sees it and doesn’t nosebleed or get excited, chances are eight or nine out of ten he has some dysfunction.
If you’re with him, you’ll probably end up a living widow. There are plenty of men wanting to sleep with you, so why bother."
Just as she was listening, the door opened, and she was startled, but it was too late.
Xiao Qing’s words were all heard word for word, the awkwardness palpable.
She swallowed, "Hehe, my classmate."
He threw a pillow at her and took his own pillow away, "Try to have less contact with such a classmate in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes, she’s a bit indecent, I won’t chat with her anymore."
She promptly turned off her phone, and as he turned to leave, she blurted out, "Uncle, are you planning to sleep on the couch forever? Are you really... having problems in that area?"
