Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After applying the ointment, Yan Xi lay on the bed.
The bed was not small. Both of them were lying on it, and there was still space between them. She moved to the side and moved further away from Gu Shen.
Yan Xi was slightly exhausted from so many things that happened today.
She yawned. “Good night, Gu Shen.” The instant she finished saying it, she fell asleep.
Gu Shen murmured, “Goodnight.”
It was also Gu Shen’s first time sleeping on the same bed with someone else.
However, he didn’t reject it. Instead, he secretly rejoiced.
After a long time, Gu Shen’s eyes were still wide open.
As he turned sideways, he saw Yan Xi’s fair skin. Her undulating waist under the thin blanket was shallow and her breath was light.
After staring at her for a while, Yan Xi suddenly turned around and got closer to him. She was so close that Gu Shen could put his hand on her waist.
Gu Shen reached out his hand uncontrollably but it froze in midair.
He looked down between his legs and said in a frustrated tone, “Damn it, why are you up again.”
…
Lying on the same bed with Gu Shen, Yan Xi thought that she would not be able to sleep well, but she slept very soundly. When she opened her eyes again, it was already seven o’clock.
Gu Shen was not in the room. Yan Xi changed her clothes and went downstairs after washing up.
There were already many people seated at the dining table. On the main seat, there was Old Master Gu. His face was slightly pale, but he was in good spirits. When he saw Yan Xi, the corners of his mouth curled into a rare smile.
“Come and eat.” He smiled kindly. “If there’s anything you want to eat, just tell the kitchen to prepare it. Make yourself at home.”
This special treatment caught Yan Xi off guard.
“Thank you.” Yan Xi revealed an obedient smile. “These are enough. There’s no need to trouble the kitchen to make more. Do you want some porridge? I’ll get you a bowl.”
“Yes, please!” Old Master Gu’s tone was light. “Bring me more fried dough sticks as well.”
Yan Xi paused and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Grandfather, the fried dough sticks are too greasy and they’re bad for your health. Should I get you an egg?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the few people at the table looked a little shocked.
Gu An shot her a look, wanting Yan Xi to take back her words. Gu Cheng coughed as well, looking at her and shaking his head slightly.
Yan Xi realized that she had said something wrong. With Gu Hai’s personality, he would never allow others to refute him.
She was just in time to explain when Gu Hai spoke first.
“Fine, for Yan Xi’s sake, I’ll eat healthy today. Pass me an egg.”
Yan Xi swiftly peeled the egg for him and heard Old Master Gu’s cranky voice again. “It’s just that this egg yolk is too choking. Every time I eat it, I’ll have a hard time swallowing it.”
“Yes, this is a little hard to swallow.” Yan Xi agreed, then changed the topic. “Then I’ll break it and put it in the porridge. That way, It’ll be easier to swallow and the taste will be better.”
Old Master Gu was much more straightforward this time. “Sure.”
Gu An secretly gave Yan Xi a thumbs up. She really did not expect that after Grandma passed away, someone could persuade Grandpa to eat healthily.
Her fourth sister-in-law had brought more surprises than she had expected.
Yan Xi peeled another egg for Old Master Gu and one for Gu Shen as well.
He glanced at her and opened his mouth to bite the egg while it was still in her hand.
“What are you doing?” Yan Xi retracted her hand and asked in a low voice.
Gu Shen said matter-of-factly, “I think yolk is choking, too.”
“You are not making it less choking to eat it like that.”
“Yes, I am.”
Yan Xi didn’t understand what Gu Shen was thinking. She looked up and saw Gu An looking at them excitedly.
“Wow.. You two look really lovey-dovey.”
