Chapter 1326 Sleeping Together
"Yeah, I know, but... I just want you to eat with me."
There was not only a hint of coquettishness in Fu Yanchen's voice, but also a hint of grievance, as if being rejected by Xu Xiaoxiao was a very sad thing.
He held Xu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, as if afraid that she would suddenly run away. His eyes were full of anticipation, just like a child looking at his favorite candy, making people unable to refuse.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Yanchen, feeling a little helpless.
She knew that Fu Yanchen would sometimes act like a child, occasionally acting coquettish and throwing tantrums, but she didn't expect him to be like this today.
"Fu Yanchen, you are not a child anymore, stop being so childish, okay?"
Xu Xiaoxiao tried her best to make her tone sound gentler. After all, she didn't want to hurt Fu Yanchen's feelings.
However, Fu Yanchen didn't seem to listen to her words. Not only did he not let go of her hand, but he held it even tighter, as if to convey his persistence to Xu Xiaoxiao.
Fu Yanchen didn't care about Xu Xiaoxiao's thoughts at all. He reached out his hand without hesitation, grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's wrist tightly, and then pulled her hard, forcibly pulling her to the seat next to him.
Xu Xiaoxiao was startled by this sudden action. She widened her eyes and looked at Fu Yanchen in surprise.
However, Fu Yanchen seemed to ignore her reaction. He just pushed Xu Xiaoxiao into her seat and said to her with a smile, "Sit down and watch me eat."
Although his tone was a bit overbearing, it also contained a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at him helplessly, muttering to herself, "Why is this person like this..."
Although somewhat reluctant, Xu Xiaoxiao still sat there obediently, staring straight at Fu Yanchen.
She found that Fu Yanchen ate very seriously, chewing each bite carefully, as if he was tasting some delicacies from the land and the sea.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at him and suddenly thought he looked cute.
She couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart, and the haze in her heart seemed to be swept away at this moment.
After finishing the meal, Fu Yanchen stood up and began to clean up the dishes quickly and naturally.
He gently stacked the dishes on top of each other, then picked up the plates and walked towards the kitchen.
Xu Xiaoxiao sat at the table, looking at his back with some surprise.
Fu Yanchen was busy in the kitchen. He turned on the faucet and washed every dish carefully.
Then he wiped the table carefully with a clean rag, not leaving out any corner.
In a short while, the originally messy dining table became as clean as new.
Xu Xiaoxiao watched all this quietly, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
Fu Yanchen is the kind of person who doesn't know how to do housework, but I didn't expect him to be so diligent.
When Fu Yanchen turned around and saw Xu Xiaoxiao staring at him, he smiled slightly, revealing his charming dimples.
"Fu Yanchen, why... are you so diligent today?" Xu Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help but ask, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
Fu Yanchen walked to Xu Xiaoxiao, looked at her tenderly, and said softly: "I want to make you happy. I want you to see that I am just an ordinary person and I can do ordinary things."
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
In the past few years, Fu Yanchen has been working hard silently, trying to make her happy and let her see his good side.
"Fu Yanchen, you... don't have to do this." Xu Xiaoxiao said, tears flashing in her eyes.
Fu Yanchen gently touched her hair and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, I just want you to be happy."
Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Fu Yanchen, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.
Although she once harbored hatred towards Fu Yanchen, that hatred had now disappeared without a trace. Perhaps, she had never truly hated him.
After a moment of silence, Xu Xiaoxiao said softly: "Well, Fu Yanchen, it's getting late, you should go back."
However, Fu Yanchen did not seem to have any intention of leaving. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, his eyes fell softly on Xu Xiaoxiao, and he said slowly:
"Xiaoxiao, Lin Nuo just told me that Lu Feng has occupied my presidential suite. As you know, I am not used to staying in a room that has been occupied by others... So, I will have to make do with it and stay at your place tonight!"
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard what Fu Yanchen said, she couldn't help feeling speechless.
She stared at Fu Yanchen with wide eyes, muttering to herself, "What kind of excuse is that? Didn't you say you're not used to living in someone else's room?"
Fu Yanchen slowly approached Xu Xiaoxiao, his breath gently brushed her ears, with a hint of warmth, and whispered softly: "You are not someone else! You are my wife."
Xu Xiaoxiao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if she was hit by an electric current, and her cheeks instantly flushed, like a ripe apple.
She turned her head away in a panic and quickly denied, "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't agreed to remarry you yet."
Fu Yanchen didn't seem to take her words to heart. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said, "It's only a matter of time."
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Yanchen's determined expression and couldn't help feeling helpless.
She knew that no matter what she said, Fu Yanchen would not change his mind easily, but she had not yet made up her mind to remarry Fu Yanchen. She had forgiven him, but...
Xu Xiaoxiao was silent
Fu Yanchen saw that Xu Xiaoxiao was worried, so he changed the subject and asked, "Um... where do I sleep?"
Xu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses. She looked around the room, then pointed at the sofa and the floor and said, "Sofa, floor, whatever you choose. But I don't have any extra toiletries here."
Xu Xiaoxiao was about to place an order for him to buy it, but Fu Yanchen interrupted and said, "You can use yours."
Xu Xiaoxiao's cheeks turned red again, "Aren't you a germaphobe?"
"Mysophobia is for outsiders, not my wife."
Xu Xiaoxiao blushed again and whispered, "I'll get you a blanket."
Fu Yanchen, he is not a monster... Fu Yanchen grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's slender wrist, the force was not strong but enough to stop her from escaping.
The moonlight shone through the half-drawn curtains, casting patches of light on them, adding a sense of ambiguity to the quiet night.
Fu Yanchen's eyes were deep, with a hint of sadness, sorrow, and loneliness in them. He asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, you... me... can't we sleep in the bed together? It's not like there is no..."
Xu Xiaoxiao's heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer and began to tremble violently. A trace of panic that was difficult to describe in words quickly flashed across her eyes.
I couldn't help but raise my hand and gently stroke my cheek, as if this could calm my inner panic a little.
She took a deep breath, tried to keep her voice calm, and said slowly: "Fu Yanchen... do you remember what you promised me?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yanchen curled up a bitter smile. He naturally reached out and picked up the cup that Xu Xiaoxiao was drinking water from on the table. His fingertips inadvertently touched the coolness of the rim of the cup, as if they also touched the coldness in her heart.
He said slowly: "How could I forget? You said that you need time to confirm your heart and space to adapt to this sudden feeling. As long as you don't want to, I, Fu Yanchen, swear that I will never cross the line. I have been through four years, and I can wait another year, or even longer."
Having said this, he paused slightly, and a barely perceptible trace of pity and helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"Besides, I haven't been feeling well these past few days, and sleeping on the floor will only make the situation worse. Just take pity on me and let me sleep there for one night, okay?"
Xu Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, "Why is this guy acting pitiful? Really, forget it, it's just a bed, right? Just think of it as... just think of it as giving him some comfort."
As she thought about this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, but then she quickly pressed them down, fearing that Fu Yanchen would see her wavering.
"Then... remember to keep your promise."
She finally spoke, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, which was both a reminder to herself and a warning to Fu Yanchen.
"Of course." Fu Yanchen's answer was brief and firm, his eyes full of tenderness and commitment, as if to say that as long as she was willing, he was willing to spend his whole life to protect this trust.
Fu Yanchen came here in a hurry and felt very dirty. He went to the bathroom and took Xu Xiaoxiao's toiletries and rubbed them on himself.
By the time Fu Yanchen finished his shower, dried his hair, and returned to the room in his comfortable pajamas, Xu Xiaoxiao had already "pretended" to be asleep.
She had already turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a faint moonlight shining through the gap in the curtains and onto the floor, adding a touch of softness to the quiet night.
In the silent night, only the occasional chirping of insects outside and the sound of the air conditioner echo in my ears, making the tranquility seem even deeper.
Fu Yanchen's footsteps seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet environment. Every step seemed to be stepping on Xu Xiaoxiao's heart, making her heart beat more violently.
Even with her eyes closed, she could clearly feel him approaching, as if his every movement was magnified several times in her ears.
Here, Fu Yanchen walked very lightly, as if he was afraid of waking up Xu Xiaoxiao who was "soundly sleeping".
He walked slowly to the bed, every step he took was so cautious, as if the bed contained a piece of fragile porcelain.
However, despite his caution, when he finally climbed onto the bed and lay down, even the slightest movement caused the mattress to sink slightly due to his weight.
Although this impact was very slight, it was enough to attract Xu Xiaoxiao's attention.
Her body tensed up involuntarily and her heartbeat quickened instantly.
As the mattress sank, the air seemed to become heavy at that moment.
An indescribable ambiguous atmosphere spread between the two of them, making Xu Xiaoxiao's breathing become a little rapid.
Fu Yanchen,,,,,
Xu Xiaoxiao was not actually asleep. She closed her eyes tightly and pretended to breathe evenly, but her heart was in turmoil.
She could feel Fu Yanchen's breath getting closer and closer to her, and could even feel the slight vibration caused by him lying down.
Her heartbeat quickened and her cheeks felt slightly hot, but she still resisted the urge to open her eyes.
Just like this, two people were in the same bed, each with different thoughts in their minds, but they both chose silence tacitly.
The night flows quietly, carrying a hint of sweetness and expectation, as if indicating that more stories will be waiting for them tomorrow.
Just when Xu Xiaoxiao was about to fall into a daze and her consciousness was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt something heavy pressing down on her body. The heavy feeling made her very uncomfortable.
She slightly opened her hazy eyes, and with the faint moonlight coming in from the window, she realized that it was Fu Yanchen's arm that was inadvertently pressing on her.
The arm seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it impossible for Xu Xiaoxiao to ignore its existence. Most of her sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
She moved her body carefully, as if any force would wake up the people around her.
She moved her body slowly, hoping to find a more comfortable position to relieve her physical discomfort and move Fu Yanchen's hand away.
At the moment she turned over, Fu Yanchen seemed to notice her movement, and Xu Xiaoxiao's heartbeat quickened. She was afraid that Fu Yanchen would wake up and do something to her.
Fortunately, he was not woken up. Instead, he cooperated with Xu Xiaoxiao to turn over.
Xu Xiaoxiao, when did Fu Yanchen sleep so well?
She successfully turned over and felt her body feel a little more relaxed.
However, just as she lay down and prepared to relax, Fu Yanchen's arm slowly fell back onto her body as if it had its own consciousness.
Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,,
The sudden contact made her body tremble violently and her heartbeat accelerated instantly.
That arm seemed to be deliberately teasing her bottom line, making her feel a little complicated.
Xu Xiaoxiao was now completely sober. She whispered helplessly and angrily, "Fu Yanchen, you... take your hand away."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Yanchen suddenly turned over and pressed her firmly under him.
His eyes flickered with amusement, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Are you not pretending to sleep anymore?"
Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that he had already noticed that she was pretending to sleep, and everything that had just happened was intentional!
She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, and her cheeks blushed unconsciously: "You...you did it on purpose!"
Fu Yanchen looked at her shy appearance, and the love in his heart grew stronger.
He kissed her forehead gently, his voice low and gentle: "I just want to be closer to you, Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, I will keep my promise."
Xu Xiaoxiao listened to his words and felt the warmth coming from his body, and the defenses in her heart began to collapse little by little.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she was making some kind of decision.
"Fu Yanchen,,,,,"
