Chapter 50 Agreeing to kiss is the first step to breaking the relationship between siblings
He leaned into her arms, shaking like a puppy caught in the rain, and his hoarse throat made a sound that sounded aggrieved and tender-hearted, making it hard to refuse him.
Not to mention that Shen Yunshu had ignored him at that time because she misunderstood that he was having a wet dream, which delayed him and made him uncomfortable for so long. He was feeling extremely guilty, so he finally gave in to him, took off his outer clothes, put on only his pajamas, lifted the quilt and lay down.
She passed her arm behind his neck, asked him to rest his head on her shoulder, and then she carefully hugged him, avoiding his wound.
"Are you feeling better?"
"No," he said, his hot breath spraying on her neck. He clung to her regardless, "Hold tighter."
Shen Yunshu quickly supported his shoulder: "Be careful with the wound."
He refused to listen and stubbornly pressed himself against her, wrapping his arms and legs around her: "My dear, please don't ignore me anymore."
After hearing her call her "wife" so many times, Shen Yunshu no longer found it irritating.
"Pei Huaian, do you really want to be my wife?"
"I do, I really do..." He didn't dare to think about it before, thinking that he was not worthy of her, but when he heard with his own ears that she was leaving in broad daylight, he didn't care about anything else and wanted desperately to keep her.
"But I'm afraid I can't be a good wife and mother who stays at home..."
"You are already very virtuous. It's good enough now."
Shen Yunshu stroked his hair and told him about her plan: "I originally planned to take the examination to become a female official in the Forbidden City after we divorced. I can take the examination next spring. If I pass, I will have to serve in the Forbidden City. I am afraid that I will not be able to have children with you within three years..."
"You want to take the exam for a female official?" Pei Huaian looked up at her. Shen Yunshu thought he would be unwilling, but unexpectedly he said with inferiority, "Then after you pass the exam, will you dislike me, your husband, even more?"
Shen Yunshu burst out laughing: "You are so handsome, how could you be a widow?"
He turned his worry into joy: "My lady likes my face?"
Shen Yunshu took the opportunity to pinch his cheek, which was flushed due to the fever: "If it weren't for this face, you would have offended me so many times and I don't know how many times you would have been beaten by me."
Pei Huaian was complacent: "Fortunately, in my wife's eyes, I am not useless. I still have a face to look at."
Seeing that he was talking more now and seemed to be in better spirits than before, Shen Yunshu freed one hand and groped down along his shoulder until she touched his hand.
My fingers are still a little cold, but my palms are starting to feel warm.
I think after a while, I won’t feel cold anymore.
"Stop talking nonsense and be at peace for a while. You'll be fine after taking the medicine."
"After taking the medicine, will you still hold me?"
"Why didn't I know you were so clingy before?"
"I won't stick to you all the time," Pei Huaian said, getting closer to her. "If you want to take the exam to become a court lady, go ahead and take it. It would be best if you pass it next spring. I'll also work hard to get into the Imperial College in the summer. You can be a court lady at ease, and I'll concentrate on my studies. In three years, I'll be able to take the exam..."
Then he went back to the topic of having children: "Don't even mention that my wife won't have a child within three years. Even if she doesn't have a child in six or nine years, I won't be in a hurry. Grandma is anxious to have a grandchild, so she asked her to urge my eldest brother and his wife to have one. I see that their relationship is getting closer and closer, so they will definitely have a child before us..."
Shen Yunshu listened to his plan carefully. If that was the case, there would be nothing wrong with being his wife.
If she followed her previous plan, after divorcing him, she would have to leave the Pei Mansion. Whether she returned to the Shen family or the Lu family, if she failed to pass the examination for female officials next spring, she would definitely be urged by the elders to remarry. If she remarried, her future husband would definitely not be as obedient as the one she was holding in her arms now. It would be better for her to stay in the Pei Mansion. If she failed the examination next year, she could just take it again in three years...
In the palm of her hand, his fingers gradually became warm, and that warmth climbed up along the palm of her hand, warming her heart.
"Well, let's give it a try," Shen Yunshu gently rubbed the top of his head, "Let's try and become a real couple."
When Pei Huaian heard her agree, he was instantly overjoyed. He raised his head and said, "Then my lady, kiss me..."
Beneath his thick, dark lashes, his eyes were full of affection and clarity, capturing her clearly, as if enveloping her in their depths. The blush on his cheeks, brought on by illness, added a touch of beauty and charm to this unparalleled, handsome face...
Since she had already agreed to be his wife, kissing was the first step to breaking the previous brother-sister relationship.
Shen Yunshu lowered her head and kissed him from the forehead.
Soft, feather-like kisses fell on his plump and smooth forehead, then on his eyes, nose, cheeks, and finally...
Those lips, filled with nervousness and anticipation, trembled uncontrollably, and were pursed to welcome her arrival.
Shen Yunshu pursed her lips and smiled. Just as she was about to kiss him, she suddenly felt something hit her leg...
She was stunned and stopped moving.
The next moment, Pei Huaian, who had waited for the sweetness to come, also opened his eyes.
The heat wave came from under her body, and her already rosy face turned completely red in an instant, and even her neck was dyed red.
He pouts and retracts his mouth, his face flushed, and he stammers to explain, "Mom, don't be afraid, it just wants to say hello to you..."
*
Three days later, Shen Youran gradually came out of the shadow of being held hostage. Pei Huaijin still didn't let her go out, so she ran to Ciyouyuan, helped her sister deal with all the affairs in the mansion, and then went to visit Pei Huaian who was injured because of her.
Pei Huaian was young after all, and his wounds healed well. He was unwilling to lie in bed to recuperate, but instead had someone prepare a soft couch for him in the study so that he could read while recuperating.
Shen Youran looked surprised: "Your injury hasn't healed yet, there's no need for you to work so hard, right?"
"My wife will take the exam for a female official next year. As her husband, I can't fall too far behind her..."
"Wait, what did you call my sister just now?" If I heard correctly, he just called her...wife?
"My wife."
"I vaguely remember that you didn't call me sister like this before..."
"What are you saying? She is my wife. If I don't call her madam, what should I call her?"
Shen Youran recalled his confession in the carriage that day and asked curiously, "You said that day that you have liked my sister for a long time. When did you start to like my sister?"
That day he was out of breath in the carriage and spoke incoherently. She thought he was going to confess his love to her and was so scared that she didn't dare to listen or stop him. Fortunately, he changed the subject in the end and confessed his love to her sister.
Thinking back to the night of the bride exchange, he had vowed that he didn't want her to marry his elder brother, nor did he want to marry her elder sister. He even didn't mind her innocence and insisted that she choose him.
It has only been three months since the marriage, but he said he has liked my sister for a long time.
Although it's a good thing that he likes my sister, it's too quick for him to change his heart.
If he is so unfaithful, if he meets another beautiful girl in the future, will he immediately change his mind and like someone else?
Shen Youran was very worried about this.
Pei Huaian had thought about this question many times. If he started counting from the time he had his first erotic dream, he should have fallen in love with Shen Yunshu before getting married.
But the strange thing is that he clearly fell in love with Shen Youran at first sight at the temple fair, so why did he dream about Shen Yunshu later?
Pei Huaian looked at Shen Youran in front of him.
Shen Youran was also looking at him, her eyes, which were very similar to Shen Yunshu's, were now full of inquiry and suspicion.
Eyes that are extremely similar to Shen Yunshu's...
Similar eyes...
Pei Huaian's body trembled, and he suddenly thought of something. He raised the book in his hand, covering half of her face, leaving only her eyebrows and eyes exposed.
Her eyes, as clear as morning dew, were filled with spirit and a hint of childishness, like a fawn grazing in the woods, lively and clever.
But it lacked the charm that had attracted him at first sight.
Why is there no such charm in her eyes?
"Do you... like reading?"
He didn't answer her, but asked such a baffling question. Shen Youran said unhappily, "Do you think I look like someone who likes reading?"
"Do you buy books on weekdays?"
"I only buy storybooks..."
My heart was pounding in my chest, and the answer was on the verge of coming out: "Did you ever stop by the bookstall at the temple fair when we first met?"
Although a long time had passed, Shen Youran still answered him with certainty: "No."
She had intended to buy some storybooks at the temple fair, but he had offended her that day by not only lifting her curtains but also taking off her veil. She was so frightened that she didn't even have time to run away, so how could she have the mood to continue shopping?
After she said the word "no", she suddenly saw him holding the book and burst into laughter: "So that's how it is, hahahaha, so that's how it is..."
It turned out that the person in front of the bookstall that day was Shen Yunshu.
It turned out that the person he fell in love with at first sight was Shen Yunshu.
Pei Huaian had never been so happy as today. His hearty laughter echoed in the study. He laughed until his stomach hurt and the wound seemed to have broken open. Then he rubbed his stiff cheeks and said to Shen Youran in front of him: "It's not you. I have never liked you..."
Shen Youran was startled by his laughter just now: "If it's not me, then it's not me. As for laughing like that? What's going on?"
Pei Huaian covered his wound and asked, "Did you and your sister wear the same fur coat on the day of the temple fair?"
"yes."
"That day, I fell in love with the girl in front of the bookstall at first sight, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then I saw you," Pei Huaian recalled the scene of that day, "Your eyes are very similar to hers, so I mistook you for her..."
Shen Youran let out a long "Oh": "So you liked my sister back then."
"It turns out I'm not a fickle, fickle, or promiscuous person..."
It turned out that the dreams he had were telling him who the person he liked was.
Pei Huaian threw down the book in his hand and couldn't wait to tell Shen Yunshu about this.
At that time, Shen Yunshu was still sorting out the accounts in the main hall.
When she was away from home a few days ago, the affairs of the mansion were temporarily handed over to the second wife. It was also because of this that her grandmother lifted the second wife's house arrest ahead of schedule.
The second wife's accounts were a bit messy, so it would inevitably take her some time to sort them out.
She was only halfway through tidying up when she heard someone calling "Madam". She looked up and saw that the person had already walked around the table and came to her side.
Before she could ask him what was the matter, her body lightened and he lifted her up from the stool, with her feet dangling in the air.
Shen Yunshu was terrified and held his shoulders: "Put me down quickly, you are still injured!"
"My lady, I like you," he tilted his head back, his eyes sparkling, "It has always been you that I like."
"What's the point of saying this?" Shen Yunshu's cheeks flushed red as she caught a glimpse of her sister standing outside the hall. "This is rude. Youran is still here..."
Shen Youran: “I’ll be gone soon.”
