Chapter 76 Sleepless
"Do not talk nonsense!"
Alice reached out her finger and tapped Ceres's forehead. "I am not. It's just that you do not know he
has a crush on you!"
Ceres's heart was instantly in turmoil, "But... but..."
"But you guys have grown up together since you were a kid. You always think of him as your Johny?"
"Yes!"
Ceres replied immediately.
Alice rolled her eyes, "That's just your opinion. He does not see it that way. If you do not feel that way
about him, you should find an opportunity to make that clear to him. Stop him."
Ceres was still a little surprised and always felt that Alice was maybe a little over the top.
She and Kirs had grown up together. Back then, she and her father still lived in a village down in the
mountains. Kirs was also a child of that village. They often played together, and the relationship
between the two families was also good. It was only when Ceres was taken to live with the Morrises at
the age of twelve that contact between them broke off.
They eventually wrote each other a letter, went to the same university, and met again.
To Ceres, Kirs was still the older Johny who climbed trees, picked fruit, and caught rabbits with her as a
child. She had never thought of him that way.
Then they changed the subject and talked about everything going on at school, Alice's current All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
situation.
What Ceres had not counted on was that she had insomnia the first night of school!
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, occasionally glancing at her phone, not knowing what she
was waiting for, and unconsciously tapping on the contact information for Johny.
Ceres tossed and turned on the bed for an hour and finally could not help but climb down from the top
bunk and lay on Alice on the bed.
Alice, who was already asleep, was stunned.
Alice was an art student. Since there were too many art students in the enrollment year, many people
were assigned.
It happened that Ceres residents did not like the erythema on Ceres and said they got nightmares
when they saw her at night, so they did not want to live with Ceres.
So just when the dorm of Ceres was empty, Alice moved in, and then another girl came in who was not
very talkative, and they did not have much to talk about.
"What are you doing, Ceres?"
"I am waking up. I cannot sleep." Ceres hugged Alice. "I have insomnia."
"You have insomnia?" Alice rubbed her eyes and finally woke up.
"Yes, I have insomnia." Ceres found it unbelievable too. When she was still working at the Morrises,
she had to get up early every day to work, and she had to finish work at night to sleep. She always felt
she was not sleeping enough. When studying at university, she could fall asleep easily, and a
thunderclap could not even wake her up.
But she had insomnia.
"You said I was really in love with Johny?" asked Ceres timidly.
Alice was not surprised at all. Was not it normal for Ceres to fall in love with Johny? Ceres always led
an unhappy life, no one treated her well, so naturally, she fell in love with a man who considered her
the apple of her eye.
"Is it bad to fall in love with Johny?"
Ceres snorted in agony, "But it's impossible for us. Who is he? Although he cannot stand up now and is
in a wheelchair, I do not know how many girls want him. He's the future heir to the Winsors. He's so
handsome. I do not deserve him."
Ceres was still very clear about the status quo, which is the reason for her pain.
"Ceres, how can you say something like that? You are so far off from him in terms of status, but the
others aspects are not bad. And your professors say you are a genius girl, the likes of which have not
been seen in a century. Also, you are generous, optimistic, positive, strong, righteous, and sincere..."
Alice said many merits in one breath, and Ceres rolled her eyes.
"Am I that good?"
Alice pursed her lips and smiled, "My Ceres is a thousand times better than what I said! Okay, do not
think about it. You cannot force feelings, but you cannot hide either. If you cannot hide, just let it be."
"Yeah, yeah, just let it be."
Ceres was finally relieved as Alice comforted her, "Even if Johny leaves me one day, we will have a
good ending. After all, I did not lose in the relationship, did I?"
"You are right about that. Go back to bed. We have to go to class tomorrow."
"I do not want to. I want to sleep with you. That's what I always think of when I sleep alone!"
"Hey Ceres, you guys are sharing a bed. Are you in a relationship?" asked Alice gossiping.
"No. Do not be silly!"
"No, I do not think so! He's thirty years old, at the age of passion, I don't believe at all he didn't touch
you? Either he's a real man who can take it for your sake, or there's a problem with that."
The two laughed.
Ceres was not the only one who had insomnia that night.
Johny was lying alone on the big bed and could not sleep. He had not counted on the fact that he'd
only been sleeping with this little woman for a few days. He would be so uncomfortable in her absence.
The bed next to him was empty, and Johny looked at his phone from time to time.
"No conscience! You did not even send a message!"
Johny tossed the phone aside but could not help but pick it up again after a while, and eventually, he
could not get back to sleep, so he just got up to read.
Ceres wanted to find Kirs the next day, but when he inquired, he knew that Kirs followed his professor
to do R&D, and he was not in Imperial City.
The second night at school, Ceres still could not fall asleep. Finally, she pulled out her cell phone and
sent a message to Johny.
"Are you back?"
Johny saw the message on his phone screen as soon as he got out of the shower. He was as happy as
a child. He wanted to reply to the message but thought it would look like he was waiting for her
message if he replied right away. So, he purposely waited ten minutes before replying.
"I am back."
After receiving the reply from Johny, Ceres laughed in bed, "What did you eat during the night?"
"Rice."
Ceres saw this answer. She curled her lips. Is he so averse to talking to himself? That's too shallow.
"Then I'll go to bed and you'll go to bed early."
Johny thought for a while and immediately replied, "I have to go to your school tomorrow to discuss
something, and it happens to be in the afternoon. If I have time, I will visit you at school and have
dinner on the side."
"Okay, okay!" Ceres was immediately enthusiastic.
