Chapter 146 The sky has fallen, my wife wants to sleep in a separate bed.
After chatting with Xia Yuhuan, Zhang Xianya's mood improved considerably.
She smiled at Xia Yuhuan and said, "Thank you, Xiaohuan, for patiently comforting me."
"I'm fine now. I'll go wash up and tidy up, then I'll go down to the kitchen to help. Are you going upstairs to get something? Go ahead and get busy."
Xia Yuhuan carefully observed Zhang Xianya's expression and, seeing that she had indeed regained her composure, replied with an "okay."
Just as Xia Yuhuan was about to open the door to enter the room, the door opened and Chi Shaokang walked out of the room.
"Xiao Huan, you're up here."
"Dad, I came up to get a jar of wine. The teacher and Uncle Yan said they wanted to have a drink at noon to liven things up," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.
“Okay, then go get it. Do you need my help?” Chi Shaokang’s eyes lit up immediately as he asked.
Xia Yuhuan looked at the light in his eyes and almost laughed.
Before, she would never have believed that Chi Shaokang, who was so capable and seemed like such a serious boss, would have such an adorable side in private.
He turned out to be a heavy drinker.
Fortunately, although he enjoys wine, he is not addicted. He likes to drink in moderation but doesn't overindulge. He's not the kind of drunkard who drinks recklessly.
The main thing is that he listens to advice; if you really don't want him to drink, he can simply refuse.
"No need, I can carry it myself."
“I’m right here. How can I let a little girl like you carry this? Tell me where it is, and I’ll carry it down.” Chi Shaokang said immediately.
Seeing his insistence, Xia Yuhuan didn't stand on ceremony with him.
"Then please come with me."
Then she went into the room, went to a corner, lifted the lid, and said, "They're all here, Dad. Just take any jar; they're all the same."
Upon seeing this, Chi Shaokang was immediately surprised: "When did you stockpile so much wine? How come I didn't know?"
Xia Yuhuan stepped forward and handed a jar of wine to Chi Shaokang.
"This was something I made before. You're busy with work, so you naturally wouldn't know."
Chi Shaokang took the wine: "It wasn't steeped for very long, was it? The quality of the wine is already so good after such a short steeping time. If it had been steeped for a long time, how delicious would it have been?"
Xia Yuhuan said, "The medicinal herbs used to make the wine have been pre-treated and soaked before being added to the wine. As long as it is soaked for a month, the wine will taste good."
"However, the longer the wine is steeped, the more fragrant and delicious it becomes. We're just happy today, and if anyone wants a drink, feel free to bring it."
Chi Shaokang looked pained: "What a pity, it would have had to soak for a longer time. I still have a few bottles of Moutai, otherwise I'll drink Moutai at noon and let this wine sit for a while longer before drinking it."
Xia Yuhuan burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"It's okay, it's not a pity. The most important thing is that everyone is happy together."
"And there's already so much brewed here, so besides the drinks, we can just let the rest sit for a while longer."
"And Dad, if you like wine, we have plenty of space at home. I'll set up a wine cellar and brew a lot for you to store. You can keep it for as long as you want and drink it whenever you want."
"That's great, that's perfect, let's go with it." Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang's eyes lit up, and he walked away with a smile, carrying the wine jar.
Although he knew he shouldn't overindulge in alcohol, having it was something to be happy about.
Xia Yuhuan covered herself with the cloth and turned around to find Chi Yanzhou staring at her.
She paused, stepped forward, and asked him, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Chi Yanzhou shook his head: "No, it just feels like I just took a long nap and woke up to find I have a wife. It feels pretty strange."
Xia Yuhuan: So he's treating her like a monkey?
She couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Chi Yanzhou: What did he say wrong? Why is my wife's face so dark?
He hesitated, wanting to say something, when Xia Yuhuan spoke up.
“I know our marriage came as a complete surprise to you, and I understand your unease.”
"I shared a room with you before because of my parents' arrangement. They would feel uneasy if I didn't share a room with you."
"Since you're awake and not used to it, how about I tell Mom and Dad that we should sleep separately?"
"Once we spend more time together, you get used to it, and you develop feelings for each other, then we can become a normal married couple?"
Xia Yuhuan tentatively made a suggestion.
She felt that Chi Yanzhou would agree to the proposal.
After all, Chi Yanzhou was completely unfamiliar with her and certainly didn't want a stranger like her to stay by his side and take up his bed.
Just as Xia Yuhuan was looking at Chi Yanzhou expectantly, fully expecting her to agree, she heard Chi Yanzhou refuse.
“No, we can’t sleep in separate beds.” Chi Yanzhou’s refusal was direct and thorough.
When Chi Yanzhou heard Xia Yuhuan say that she wanted to sleep in a separate bed from him, he felt like his world had collapsed.
He woke up to find his wife wanted to sleep in a separate bed? That's outrageous!
No, no, absolutely not! We can't sleep in separate beds!
Once you start sleeping in separate beds, it will be difficult to get back together.
He hadn't even won her over yet, so he couldn't just let her fly away like that. If she really did, it would definitely be even harder to catch up with her.
Chi Yanzhou didn't want his journey to win back his wife to become even longer.
Therefore, the suggestion of sleeping in separate beds is absolutely unacceptable!!!
Xia Yuhuan fully expected that Chi Yanzhou would agree to her request to sleep in separate beds.
Unexpectedly, Chi Yanzhou refused so directly and with such a strong attitude, leaving him somewhat stunned.
She paused for a moment before asking, "Why? Aren't you still not used to my presence? You'd probably feel uncomfortable and resistant if I shared a bed with you, right?"
Her suggestion was clearly something that benefited both herself and others, so why did he refuse?
Xia Yuhuan didn't understand.
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Chi Yanzhou's mind raced.
You're so dense! Quick, give me an excuse to deal with my wife!
Chi Yanzhou slowly spoke: "Haven't we been sharing a bed for a while now? I'm not that uncomfortable with you."
Xia Yuhuan frowned: "Didn't you say you weren't often conscious? How come you've gotten used to sharing a bed with me?"
Chi Yanzhou argued confidently: "Although I am not often conscious, many of the times I am conscious are at night, and I can hear your breathing."
"Besides, you like to hold me while you sleep, pressing down on me. Sometimes when I wake up, half of my body is numb. How can that be considered not being used to it?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan's face turned bright red.
He even knew that she liked to use him as a pillow when she slept?
Is there anything he doesn't know?
Seeing her blush, Chi Yanzhou dared not provoke her further, fearing he might anger her, and made his decision without regard for his opinion.
He added, "Besides, you immediately started sleeping in a separate bed from me as soon as I woke up. What will my parents think? They'll definitely worry."
"We're already married, and I'll definitely take responsibility for you. Since we're destined to be together, why separate now?"
"As for matters between husband and wife..." Chi Yanzhou said, then paused and coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed.
"I can't do anything right now, so your safety is not a problem at all, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Even if I recover in the future, I will respect you and will never force you. Besides, I am not the kind of person who would force someone. If you don't want to, I will never do anything to you."
"Ayu, trust me, let's not sleep in separate beds, okay?"
For some reason, Xia Yuhuan heard a pitiful tone in Chi Yanzhou's voice at the end.
She almost thought her brain had gone mad and she'd just gone crazy.
When she looked up and saw Chi Yanzhou's pitiful eyes staring at her, her mind went blank.
