On the day Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu held their wedding, she had only just celebrated her 18th birthday a few days prior. Her husband was a full 8 years older than her.
In the eyes of outsi...
She not only became his habit, but Bai Xiaoruo also got used to the person lying next to her.
He turned over to sleep, facing him. Xian Mingyu kept his eyes closed, and it was hard to tell if he was really asleep.
He held her tightly in his arms, and the two of them were very close.
Why do you always want to hold me while you sleep?
Xian Mingyu didn't open his eyes, but tightened his grip on her waist. "Didn't I tell you you're my body pillow?"
"It's just a body pillow?"
Bai Xiaoruo pouted. She had been watching a lot of TV dramas lately, and seeing how other people's husbands always called their wives "little baby," "sweetheart," or "cutie." But she was just a pillow to Xuan Mingyu!
What if one day he finds his "pillow" too old? Will he go outside and find a new "pillow"?
"What else do you want? I even warmed the bed for you."
This little girl should be content.
I have no idea what's going on in that little head of hers all day long.
"Then... I'll warm it for you next time."
“No need…” Under the covers, Xuan Mingyu’s foot accidentally brushed against Bai Xiaoruo’s fair and delicate foot, which was so cold that he immediately pulled his foot back. “Tsk! Bai Xiaoruo, did you bring ice to bed with you? Why are your feet so cold?”
"No, I've always been like this since I was little... I'll move it further away then." Bai Xiaoruo moved her feet, almost to the point of going outside the blanket.
While other people's feet are still warm after a shower, her feet quickly turn into ice blocks again, especially in winter, and it's impossible to warm them up.
"Put your feet in."
"But......"
He stretched out his thigh and hooked her legs, which were about to fall out of the blanket, back in place, trapping them between his legs.
Bai Xiaoruo tried to pull her foot back, but failed. "It'll get cold."
"I'm not as weak as you. Go to sleep." He pulled the blanket over Bai Xiaoruo and covered her up, leaving only her nose and above exposed. She felt warmer in his arms than when she slept alone.
She mustered her courage, reached out and hugged him back, then obediently closed her eyes and went to sleep.
My heart feels sweet.
It's so good to have him by my side.
