Thinking about how he and Xie Jing had to sleep in separate beds for over a year before they gradually became intimate in their previous life, could Zhou Jiyun accept repeating the same mistake? He certainly wouldn't want to. With his sweet and soft wife right in front of him, only a fool would want to sleep in separate beds.

Given how obsessed he is with Xie Jing and how he doesn't keep her within reach, Zhou Jiyun is worried that he will go crazy sooner or later.

Xie Jing stared at Zhou Jiyun, who refused to give in and even seemed quite reasonable: "We're in the old house, we're newlyweds, if you and I sleep in separate beds, Grandpa will easily notice. You don't want him to worry, do you?"

Xie Jing wanted to struggle again: "Then we... are not that familiar with each other yet..."

Zhou Jiyun always has a reason: "That's why we need to get to know each other. The first step to getting to know each other is to sleep in separate beds on your wedding night."

Xie Jing was helpless: "Then when we're at the old house, we'll each have half of the bed, and no one is allowed to cross the line."

As she spoke, she took a pillow and placed it in the middle of the quilt, meaning that this was the 38th parallel.

Zhou Jiyun heard the subtle wit in Xie Jing's words, but he pretended not to hear it. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Are you an elementary school student? You're still drawing the 38th parallel? Isn't that childish?"

Xie Jing was too lazy to argue with him: "It's up to you to sleep or not. If you don't want to sleep, you can sleep on the couch. Anyway, I'm sleepy, so I'll go to sleep first."

"Okay, no one is allowed to cross the line," Zhou Jiyun raised his hands in surrender. He was already very satisfied with the progress. Thinking about holding hands and hugging during the day, and sleeping in the same bed at night, Zhou Jiyun felt that he was in such a good mood today.

Besides, once Xie Jing falls asleep, the so-called 38th parallel will naturally be of no use.

Lying down next to Xie Jing, Zhou Jiyun looked at Xie Jing with her back to him and couldn't fall asleep. "Jingjing, are you asleep?"

Xie Jing couldn't sleep either, so she simply turned over and said, "I can't sleep. I'm not used to it."

Zhou Jiyun chuckled twice: "You'll get used to it slowly."

Xie Jing wanted to struggle again: "How about I just go to sleep on the couch?"

"Just sleep here," Zhou Jiyun said forcefully, "Aunt Yun is very considerate, and the old house is very quiet at night. The couch is next to the window, and there's wind outside... You just asked me if there's anything wrong with the old house..."

"I'd better sleep here," Xie Jing immediately changed her mind. "I didn't expect the old house to be so scary. Are you sure there's no truth to the rumors? Didn't your friends tell you that sleeping here at night might be a little scary when they came over to visit?"

She now hated herself for reading too many and too diverse books. When she arrived at such a Chinese-style courtyard, she inevitably thought of Lanruo Temple, Red Embroidered Shoes, etc.

"Which house hasn't had someone die?" Zhou Jiyun said calmly, "Especially an old house like this..."

"Yu Linjun and his friends came to sleep in the old house once, and then never came again." This was pure nonsense. Later, these people came as usual. As the saying goes, you will become calm once you get used to it.

"That's enough, that's enough," Xie Jing stopped him, "That's very well said. Don't say it next time. Do you think it's appropriate to tell me this on your wedding night?"

Zhou Jiyun laughed twice, the sound seeming to come from his chest, and in this quiet night, it sounded even deeper and more magnetic. "I'm following your words. Are you thinking about the books you've read? I heard that you usually like reading."

"Actually, the old house is very beautiful. I'll take you around it tomorrow, and you won't be so scared anymore."

Xie Jing responded, "I really don't have to get up early tomorrow? Isn't that inappropriate? Sleeping in until noon on your first day of marriage?"

"No need. Grandpa said there aren't so many rules. Uncle and Aunt are not serious elders. You don't have to care about them." Zhou Jiyun crossed his hands behind his head, and his words showed disdain for Zhou Zhida and his wife.

Xie Jing turned over and faced Zhou Jiyun: "Is there a story?"

"Yeah," Zhou Jiyun responded, "I found that my parents' accident might not really be just an accident, but I haven't found any conclusive evidence yet."

Even the accident that Xie Jing got into later was probably caused by Zhou Zhida's family.

Unfortunately, on his way to get the evidence, he also got into trouble...

So now everything needs to be re-investigated by Zhou Jiyun. Fortunately, Xie Jing is now in front of him and there are no regrets or misunderstandings between them. He has seized the initiative.

Xie Jing felt a chill on her back: "That sounds dangerous."

"No matter how dangerous it is, I will protect you," Zhou Jiyun's voice darkened. "Xie Jing, in this family, you only need to remember one thing."

Xie Jing heard Zhou Jiyun's seriousness and couldn't help but become serious as well: "Which point?"

"Don't trust anyone except Grandpa. Don't bother with others. The interests of our small family always come first."

Zhou Jiyun sighed: "I guess grandpa should know something, but he won't tell me anything."

"If it was really Zhou Zhida who did it, I can understand Grandpa's thoughts. He already lost one son and can't send another one in. But from my point of view, I can't agree with his idea."

"If I don't seek justice for my parents, who in this world will remember them?"

Xie Jing was silent for a few seconds before deliberately livening up the atmosphere: "You said that no one can be trusted except Grandpa, including you?"

"I was wrong. Don't trust anyone except grandpa and me." Zhou Jiyun sighed: "I originally wanted you to live a peaceful and stable life, but on my side... sigh..."

Xie Jing thought for a moment before saying, "How can everything go as planned in life? If there's danger, we just need to work together to get through it. As long as we are determined, no matter how many difficulties the future holds..."
