Chapter 41 Sleeping together?

Xiao Peiyin stood in front of the bedroom window, looking at the lights outside. The sound of water dripping from the shower came from the bathroom. Every drop of water seemed to hit her heart. Thinking of Gu Cunxi's injuries, Xiao Peiyin couldn't help but feel a little worried. She turned around and walked quickly to the bathroom door and knocked gently.

"Cunxi..."

Hearing Pei Yin's voice outside, Gu Cunxi hurriedly turned off the shower and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Peiyin stood at the door, hesitating for a long time, not knowing how to start. She paused and said, "Do you... need..."

Xiao Peiyin fell silent again mid-sentence. How should she explain that she was worried about Gu Cunxi's injury and wanted to ask if she needed help?

Gu Cunxi stood in the bathroom, and when he heard Pei Yin hesitate to speak, he was confused. He just stood there quietly, waiting for her to speak.

"Um... your wound makes it inconvenient to take a shower. Do you want me to help you..."

The moment she said it, Xiao Peiyin felt her heart beating like thunder, her cheeks burning, and she became more and more shy.

“…”

Gu Cunxi stood inside the door and heard everything clearly. He didn't know how to respond for a moment. He only felt that the atmosphere around him was hot and full of desire. It was indeed not convenient for him because of the pain in his shoulder. He couldn't stretch his arm freely. The hot water flowed over his cheek, and the wound felt like it was burning.

But if Pei Yin comes in to help me...it will only be more inconvenient...

The bathroom was eerily silent. Xiao Peiyin stood at the door, her fingers twisted together unconsciously. She felt awkward and regretted asking the question.

The two of them were separated by a door and remained silent for a long time. Xiao Peiyin became more and more annoyed. After a long time, Gu Cunxi's voice came from the bathroom.

"It's okay... I'm... I'm fine! Pei Yin, I'm... not inconvenient. I'm done washing. I'll be there soon!"

“!!”

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gu Cunxi froze in place. He was so nervous that he didn't know what he was saying...

"You're so stupid! You said you'd be there soon! Where are you going? I wonder what Pei Yin would think if she heard this..."

"Pei Yin! That's not what I meant! I meant I'll be done soon!"

Xiao Peiyin stood at the door and heard Gu Cunxi's nervous and incoherent words. Her original awkwardness and annoyance were swept away. She couldn't help but chuckle. She didn't know what kind of expression Gu Cunxi would have inside the door at this moment. Thinking of this, Xiao Peiyin decided to tease her. She spoke slowly with a hint of teasing in her tone: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the bedroom!"

After saying that, Xiao Peiyin turned and walked into the bedroom with a smile on her face.

Seeing the figure disappear outside the door, Gu Cunxi lowered his head in annoyance. Pei Yin must have been thinking about something else because of what he had just said! He wanted to explain, but the more he opened his mouth, the more it got worse. His tongue felt like it was tied...

After a long time, Xiao Peiyin heard the sound of the door opening outside. She looked at the bedroom door and became more and more nervous. She thought Gu Cunxi would come in to find her, but she waited for a long time and did not see Gu Cunxi's figure appear at the door. Only some noises came from the living room from time to time. She felt a little disappointed. Thinking of Gu Cunxi saying that he wanted to sleep in the living room, Xiao Peiyin felt a little reluctant and got up and hurried out of the bedroom.

Gu Cunxi was sitting on the sofa outside the living room, his hair wet and his frail body hidden under a loose shirt. A medicine box was placed in front of him. Xiao Peiyin's heart tightened when she saw this and she quickly walked over to him: "Did your wound hurt from taking a shower just now?"

"Well...it hurts a little bit. Don't worry, I'm fine. Just apply some medicine and it will be fine." Gu Cunxi shook his head and chuckled.

Xiao Peiyin felt a flash of pain in her heart, as if someone had grabbed her heart. She reached out and took the ointment from Gu Cunxi's hand and said, "Let me help you apply it!"

She took the medicine box beside her, took out gauze and ointment from it, and gently helped Gu Cunxi wipe the wound on his face: "Sit still, it will be a little painful, bear with it!"

"Yeah!" Gu Cunxi nodded. Xiao Peiyin stood in front of her and leaned forward slightly. The hand holding the cotton swab was shaking a little. The two people who had just taken a shower exuded the pleasant fragrance of shower gel. Gu Cunxi felt her throat was a little dry. Her eyes inadvertently looked at Xiao Peiyin's collar, her slender neck, and the secret scenery inside the collar, looming... Gu Cunxi felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter, her heartbeat was like thunder, and she hurriedly looked away.

Xiao Peiyin was concentrating on wiping the wound and didn't notice anything unusual about Gu Cunxi: "Does it still hurt? Is it feeling better?"

After applying the medicine, Xiao Peiyin stood up and put it away. She looked up and found that Gu Cunxi's face was very red...

The sound of her rapid breathing filled the quiet room. Xiao Peiyin's heart tightened, wondering if she had hurt her. She asked nervously, "Cunxi, why aren't you talking? Did I hit you too hard and hurt you?"

"Uh! No... no, it doesn't hurt anymore. The ointment is cool and comfortable!" Gu Cunxi didn't dare to look at her and responded with his head down.

"You didn't say anything for a long time. I thought I accidentally hurt you. Your face is so red!"

Gu Cunxi didn't want to say that he blushed because he saw the small hill in her collar, although it was a little flat... Gu Cunxi secretly laughed at himself in his heart. Ever since he fell in love with Pei Yin, she has changed more and more. He is inexplicably greedy for everything about her and can't control himself like a demon.

"Cunxi! Let's go together!"

“???”

"What do you mean together?"

Xiao Peiyin stood there nervously, her hands curled up the corners of her clothes, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her face flushed red from holding it in. She pointed at the sofa and said, "The sofa...it's going to be uncomfortable!"

Gu Cunxi was slightly startled, then he realized that Pei Yin's words "together" actually meant sleeping together. The emotions that had just calmed down suddenly surged up again...

"It's okay! I..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Peiyin took Gu Cunxi's hand and walked towards the bedroom, saying as she walked: "You are still injured. I don't want you to sleep on the sofa. It will hurt me!" Her tone was full of persistence that could not be refused.

"Do you have any pillows here?" Xiao Peiyin looked at the only pillow quietly placed on the bed and asked.

"Um... no more. Since I'm alone all the time, I only bought one pillow!"

"It's okay! I don't need a pillow. Give me that little rabbit!"

After that, Gu Cunxi walked to the bed, picked up the rabbit beside him and hugged it to his chest. He imitated the rabbit's expression and made a face at Xiao Peiyin.

Looking at Gu Cunxi's appearance, Xiao Peiyin couldn't help laughing. It was a happy smile from the bottom of her heart. Gu Cunxi was satisfied that she had made Xiao Peiyin laugh. It was the first time since they met that she saw her laugh so happily. Her heart felt like it was filled with candy, revealing an inextricable sweetness.

"Would you like to watch a movie, Pei Pei?"

“!!”

Xiao Peiyin was stunned in place, her mind felt like it was electrified, her body numb. Gu Cunxi didn't call her by her name, but rather called her so affectionately! Her heart almost melted when she heard it...

"Can I... call you that? I don't want to call you Pei Yin or Xiao Pei Yin like everyone else. Do you think that name is too corny? If you don't like it! I..."

Xiao Peiyin walked forward and put her arms around Gu Cunxi's back, interrupting her. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Gu Cunxi's ear, "I like this name very much. Call me again!"

Hearing Xiao Peiyin say that she liked it, Gu Cunxi chuckled happily, turned his head and kissed the corner of his lover's lips. His voice was a little hoarse, and he said in Xiao Peiyin's ear: "Let's watch a movie together, Pei Pei!"

Xiao Peiyin leaned on Gu Cunxi's shoulder, feeling sweet inside. She nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go together!"

After saying that, Xiao Peiyin loosened her arms around Gu Cunxi, climbed onto the bed, leaned to the side and looked at the person in front of her. An unconcealable smile overflowed from her eyes and the corners of her mouth.

"Then wait for me, I'll go get the computer!" Gu Cunxi hurried to the living room, and walked in a moment with a laptop in his arms, his steps bouncing, which made Pei Yin want to laugh even more. Gu Cunxi was like two extremes from his usual appearance, so cold to the outside world, but so cute in front of her.

Gu Cunxi leaned against Xiao Peiyin, holding the computer, and the small quilt was filled with the pleasant scent of shower gel from both of them.

"Pei Pei, what kind of movies do you like?"

"Well...except for romance films, I can accept all other ones. I prefer war, history, and documentaries!"

Gu Cunxi nodded and chuckled with satisfaction. This woman even had the same preferences as him when it came to watching movies.

The two of them flipped through the web pages and finally chose a movie. Gu Cunxi put his arm around Xiao Peiyin's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and gently kissed her forehead.

The movie entered the main part, Gu Cunxi turned on the table lamp beside him, and the warm yellow light illuminated the corner beside the bed. The light music of the movie opening came from the room.

Such a moment is the happiest moment the two have ever experienced. Even the air is filled with sweetness. If they can have such nights forever, they will no longer need to look forward to dawn!
