Chapter 4 Sleep

Yu Nian suddenly turned around.

He was still wearing the white shirt, but not as meticulously as he was outside. The cuffs were rolled up to his arms and a few buttons were undone, revealing his delicate collarbone. Compared to the business elite style I had seen him with the previous times, he looked a bit more uninhibited and casual.

The scene before my eyes seemed to overlap with a scene from many years ago.

Perhaps because she didn't say anything, Ji Yanxing asked again, "Have you packed up?"

Yu Nian suddenly came back to his senses, "Yeah."

Ji Yanxing walked towards the master bedroom and said, "Go take a shower and then go to bed."

Yu Nian subconsciously asked, "Which room do I live in?"

Ji Yanxing turned around and looked at her.

Somehow, Yu Nian felt a little guilty, and she looked at him with gritted teeth.

"Mrs. Ji." He seemed to be more accustomed to calling her that.

Yu Nian: "...huh?"

"We are not playing house, we are living together for a lifetime. There are some things that you need to be mentally prepared for in advance." Ji Yanxing's voice was neither hurried nor slow, and his magnetic voice and face were very pleasing to the eye.

"I understand, but..." Yu Nian's brain short-circuited for a moment, and she blurted out, putting the blame on him, "I thought you would think sleeping in separate beds is good for sleep quality."

After the words fell, Ji Yanxing smiled lightly and raised his eyebrows: "I think?"

Yu Nian: "..."

"I think couples should sleep in the same bed," he said in a slightly frivolous tone, "Mrs. Ji, what do you think?"

To be honest, when Yu Nian asked this question, she thought he would let her sleep in the second bedroom, or be more gentlemanly and give her the master bedroom.

I never thought that he would sleep in the same bed with her on the first day after getting the marriage certificate.

From Ji Yanxing's perspective, they just met on a blind date last month. To him, she was just a stranger he had met a few times. Yu Nian was not so narcissistic as to think that Ji Yanxing coveted her beauty. The only explanation was -

He got into the role quickly.

In his concept, couples should sleep in the same bed, and there is no such thing as sleeping in separate beds.

And now they are husband and wife, so it should be so.

Whether there is emotion or not.

Yu Nian almost scratched her palms, but she didn't avoid looking away. She didn't want to be too far behind Ji Yanxing in adapting to his new identity, so she pursed her lips and tried to speak in a calm tone, "I think so, too."

Ji Yanxing stared at her for a few seconds. She was indeed very calm, and her expression seemed no different from her usual calm and steady self. The only difference was that the pair of eyes that looked at him were a little fluctuating, and her ears were a little red.

His wife, Ji, seemed a little nervous.

Ji Yanxing raised the corner of his lip slightly and said, "Then live in the master bedroom."

Yu Nian nodded and followed him into the master bedroom.

Compared to the coldness of other rooms, the master bedroom has a bit more of his flavor. When the door is opened, a faint wood fragrance sweeps in. The door to the terrace is open, the white weft yarn sways in the wind, and the fragrance lingers for a long time.

Ji Yanxing turned around and looked at her. "Go take a shower first. The toiletries are all in there."

"Oh." Yu Nian nodded, and then thought, "I need a study room. I sometimes work at home."

Ji Yanxing put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Isn't there a study on the second floor?"

Yes, but that is his study. Yu Nian explained: "That study is yours. If we both need to use the study, who will use it first? Is it first come first served?"

What she meant was that she wanted him to set up a separate study room for her.

Ji Yanxing understood what she meant, "I'll ask someone to clean up a study room tomorrow. What do you want?"

Yu Nian: "No special requirements, a normal study room will do."

Ji Yanxing: “Okay.”

After discussing the matters in the study, Yu Nian took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After she left, Ji Yan walked to the terrace and lit a cigarette. Just then, a phone call came in. He looked at the number and it was a call from his father Ji Zhenguo.

"Have you received the certificate?" Ji Zhenguo's voice came over as the call was just connected.

Ji Yanxing leaned lazily on the railing and said "hmm" without any emotion.

Ji Zhenguo's voice was emotionless. Perhaps because he had been in power for a long time, he habitually spoke to his son in a commanding tone: "Come home this weekend."

Ji Yanxing: "Let's talk about it later."

Ji Zhenguo didn't get angry after receiving an ambiguous reply. As long as the marriage certificate is obtained, the subsequent cooperation can be carried out as planned.

As for the rest, they are all dispensable.

The father and son didn't say anything extra and hung up the phone after they finished talking.

The cigarette was quickly finished and Ji Yanxing lit another one. The night wind blew and he stretched out his hand to block it. The scarlet flames gathered together and after lighting it, he took a deep puff of the cigarette.

Smoke swirled around his handsome and cold face.

This was the scene Yu Nian saw when he came out of the bathroom. His heart skipped a beat.

Ji Yanxing heard the noise and turned his eyes to look at her, "What's wrong?"

"My mother called and asked us to go back this weekend. Are you free?" Yu Nian was getting ready to take a shower when she received a call from Ms. He. Ms. He's nagging gave her a headache, so she decided to come out and ask him if he was free.

Ji Yanxing held a cigarette between his legs and said calmly, "I understand. I'll keep those two days free."

"Oh." After receiving the reply, Yu Nian was about to tell Ms. He, when a half-smiley voice suddenly sounded above her head, "Aren't you busy these days and don't have time to move?"

Yu Nian: "..."

She was really busy, but her mother's words were obviously more important. Plus, she could work online, so she agreed to He Manlian's request. But from her tone, it sounded like she was making up an excuse to avoid moving.

Yu Nian explained: "I am indeed busy, but I can take leave."

Ji Yanxing dusted off his cigarette ashes and looked at her with a raised eyebrow: "So you can take leave to go home, but not to move?"

Cigarette ash fell down, and Yu Nian saw him leaning lazily on the railing, holding a mobile phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other, with his eyebrows slightly raised, giving him a cynical and handsome temperament.

Yu Nian's palms were slightly sweaty. She scratched her palms, looked up to meet his gaze, and defended herself: "I didn't mean that."

Ji Yanxing didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he stopped flirting with her and said in a voice that was a little hoarse due to the cigarette smoke: "I'm going to go out for a while, you take a shower and rest first."

-

After Ji Yan left, Yu Nian replied to Ms. He's message and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

There was a bathtub next to the window in the bathroom. Considering that Ji Yanxing would have to take a shower later, she only planned to take a simple shower. But he was out now, so Yu Nian decided to take a bath tonight.

She had been too busy recently and hadn't had a comfortable bath for a long time. Today happened to be her free day, so she lay in the bathtub, took out her cell phone and chatted with Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was her college roommate. When he learned that she was going to get married with a blind date whom she had only met a few times, he kept advising her to think twice. If he hadn't had to film a movie during the day, he would have probably kept nagging her in her ear for a long time.
