Bear with It

"You saw it?" Jing Tong said. "Stay here. I'll sleep in a motel for a night."

When she had to agree to take that man in, she had made this decision. She wouldn't be in the same room as that man no matter what, even if she knew that he was cold and boring and wouldn't do anything overboard.

Jiang Yu frowned.

He had been thinking about the possibility of them sleeping together, but he hadn't expected Jing Tong to have such plans.

He wouldn't agree.

"No," Jiang Yu said. "If you're not home, there's no point in me staying here."

Jing Tong's eyes widened. "What are you doing? Why do you need me to cover for you?"

"You won't be in danger. Don't worry," Jiang Yu explained.

"That's not the point. The point is that I don't want to be in the same room as you at all!" Jing Tong held the door frame and glared at him, looking like she wanted to lock him outside.
