Chapter 858 Jeppard x Original Heroine 68

"Brother, where have you been?" At noon on the third day, Xuexi was taking a break in the office and finally couldn't help but send a message to Jeppard to ask.

Xuexi's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat's claws, and she was afraid that something unexpected had happened to Jeppard.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I've just been busy with military matters lately."

Jeppard stood outside the newspaper building where Xuexi worked, staring at Xuexi's workstation by the window on the second floor with sharp eyes.

The sight of the petite figure lying on the table softened his expression and he replied softly.

Seeing Jeppard's reply, Xuexi curled the corners of her mouth. She would not believe it easily.

In the past, no matter how busy Jeppard was, he would always take time out every day to see her.

She didn't believe that Jeppard didn't come to meet her just because he was busy.

As night fell, Xuexi quietly came to Jeppard's residence outside. She was hoping to try her luck and see if Jeppard was hiding there.

However, to Xuexi's disappointment, Jeppard was not there. After Xuexi had packed up, she lazily lay on the sofa in the living room, listening to the course.

She will be leaving Belloberg in a few days to go to Pierpoint to take a very important exam on journalism, and Xuexi is now reviewing intensively.

As Xuexi listened, fatigue came over her like a tide. Her eyes gradually closed, and without waiting for Jeppard to come back, she slowly fell asleep.

It was almost ten o'clock when Jeppard came back after treating his wounds. His eyes were as bright as stars, and he saw Xuexi sleeping soundly on the sofa.

After changing his clothes and washing his hands, Jeppard found a blanket and gently covered Xuexi's body with it like a gentle breeze.

However, just as he stood up, Xuexi, who suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed Jeppard's collar tightly.

"I caught you." Xuexi, who had been sleeping uneasily to begin with, felt someone approaching in her daze.

The moment she opened her eyes, what she saw was indeed the familiar face of Jeppard. Xuexi quickly reached out and grabbed Jeppard's collar tightly.

Their eyes met, and each other's gazes were like two blazing flames, which seemed to burn each other to ashes in the silent night.

But just like the hazy moonlight, it is difficult for each other to distinguish the truth.

"Xiao Xi, how come you have time to come back today?" After Xue Xi let go of Jeppard's collar, Jeppard stood up and slowly sat next to Xue Xi.

Jeppard then tightened his hands around his collar, as if there was something to be hidden there.

Since Xuexi had Brian, she hasn't been back here, so Jeppard was a little surprised that Xuexi came here today.

"Humph, if I don't come over, I don't know where my brother is hiding and doesn't want to see me."

Xuexi pouted, climbed up from the sofa with difficulty, picked up the remote control and turned on the light in the living room.

"Hey, what's wrong with brother's chest?" The moment the light was turned on, Xuexi noticed that Jeppard was wearing such a high-necked dress, so she crawled over directly.

Xuexi moved her legs over and gently pressed one leg on Jeppard's leg.

Xuexi faced Jeppard and began to unbutton the collar of his clothes without hesitation, with a look of worry in her beautiful golden eyes.

Because Xuexi's mind and eyes were filled with the fact that Jeppard was injured, she did not notice that her posture and actions at the moment were so ambiguous, as if the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

"I'm fine." Jeppard looked at Xuexi who was so close to him, his eyes like a deep lake.

Jeppard raised one of his big hands, like a firm mountain, and held Xuexi's hands firmly, then gently put her hands down.

Feeling the warmth on his legs and looking at Xuexi, who was only wearing a thin nightgown, Jeppard's eyes unconsciously turned away and his breathing seemed to become slightly rapid.

After Jeppard repeatedly assured her that he was fine, Xuexi finally stopped unbuttoning the collar of Jeppard's clothes and realized how inappropriate her actions were.

Xuexi quickly climbed down from Jeppard's body. Because she moved too hastily, she seemed to have kicked something accidentally. Xuexi's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple.

Jeppard's eyebrows wrinkled slightly at that moment, like the surface of a lake wrinkled by the breeze, and then quickly relaxed.

At the same time, Jeppard's earlobes turned red like burning flames, and instantly turned bloody.

Xuexi curled up in the corner of the sofa with her head buried, while Jeppard sat quietly beside Xuexi.

Xuexi and Jeppard seemed to be afraid that the other would discover their embarrassment, and they didn't even dare to look at each other.

"Xiao Xi, aren't you angry with me?" Jeppard quickly adjusted his sitting position, crossed his legs, and spoke first.

While Jeppard was speaking, he sat upright and looked straight ahead, not daring to shift his gaze to look at Xuexi beside him.
