Otis lifted a shoulder in a casual shrug.
"I can sleep on your bed. Or the sofa works too."
Mei narrowed her eyes at him immediately.
"You want to sleep on my bed… you're not planning to sniff my sheets, are you?"
Otis stared at her, speechless.
"No. What in the world do you think I am? Normal people don't actually do stuff like that… that would be downright perverted."
Mei, who had secretly sniffed his clothes before, fell silent.
There were people who did that.
Specifically… her.
She turned away, staring at the wall.
"Forget it, I'll just endure the heat. I can manage with the fan."
Silence settled between them as the room grew hotter, the air thick and heavy. Otis finally asked,
"You really sure?"
Mei inhaled slowly. She wasn't sure. With this kind of sweltering heat, she absolutely wouldn't sleep.
Otis lifted his glass, took a sip of water, then asked hesitantly,
"In that case… how about we share the same room?"
"So you do want to pull something on me!"
