Chapter 133 Spending the Night in a Courtyard House
The rain started pouring as soon as I got back to the courtyard house.
The rain poured down, splashing white smoke as it hit the ground.
Anmi stood under the veranda, shaking the rainwater off her trouser legs, thankful that they had returned early.
The two walked along the covered corridor toward their room. As they passed the pond, the plump koi in the water swam forward with them.
Upon arriving at the main hall, there was a cleaning lady tidying up inside; she must have been called over by Yan Jinnian during the meal.
Rose ginger tea was brewing in a health-preserving kettle on the table.
He had his aunt prepare it in advance.
Anmi poured herself a cup of ginger tea and held it in her hands to warm it. She paced around in the main hall, then walked to the window. The courtyard was soaked by the rain.
The ginkgo trees had fallen leaves all over the ground, and ripples spread across the surface of the pond.
This scene, coupled with the antique pavilions and corridors, brings a sense of tranquility to the viewer without them even realizing it.
"Wife!" A voice suddenly called from behind.
Yan Jinnian called her from somewhere.
She followed the sound to the side room next door.
Inside the side room was a large daybed, covered with a bright yellow cushion, resembling the bedding used by ancient emperors.
Yan Jinnian leaned against the daybed and beckoned to her: "Wife, come lie down for a while."
After lunch, it's time to feel sleepy.
Anmi placed the teacup on the small table next to him and lay down beside him.
The cushions on the daybed were very comfortable, and from the angle she was lying down, she could see streaks of rain sliding down the windowpane.
Despite the strong winds and heavy rain outside, the small room was so warm that it made one feel sleepy.
She yawned without realizing it: "Honey, I'm so sleepy~"
Yan Jin chuckled softly, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy."
He gently rubbed her earlobe, then bent down to kiss her cheek.
"Baby, let's not go home tonight, how about we sleep here?"
Anmi was stretching and yawning when she saw him lean down. She simply wrapped her arms around the back of his neck in that position, their noses touching.
The two of them kissed affectionately for a while.
"But we didn't bring anything..."
"Have the auntie bring it over."
"…Oh well."
Anmi genuinely liked this place.
After all, such a large courtyard house is not common.
"Which room will we sleep in?" she asked.
Yan Jinnian straightened up: "You can sleep in whichever room you want, it's up to you."
“Hmm…” Anmi put her feet on his knees and thought for a moment.
"Then I'll choose the one on the left in the back yard."
Before the man could speak, she added, "Go sleep in the room next to mine, the one on the right."
"?"
Yan Jinnian frowned: "Why do we have to sleep separately?"
Anmi glanced at him: "Don't you think this quiet place is perfect for lying in bed alone, listening to the rain and meditating?"
What a great atmosphere!
Besides, her period hasn't ended yet, so whether she sleeps in the same room as him or not shouldn't make much difference...
Ke Yanjin disagreed.
“Let’s sleep in one room. Or I can lock the door now and we can sleep here tonight.”
Anmi protested his sudden assertive attitude: "Hmph! You just said you could choose whatever I wanted, and now you're backing out!"
She grabbed a bright yellow cushion from above her head and placed it between the two of them.
"You broke your promise, I'm ignoring you! I'm going to draw a line between us!"
She turned her face away and really ignored him.
Yan Jinnian sighed helplessly.
A kitten in heat is really quick to ignite, like a little firecracker.
He gently lifted Anmi's head and placed a cushion underneath to make her more comfortable.
"I'm letting you choose whichever you like, not making me stay alone in an empty room."
He spoke up for himself gently: "I haven't even complained yet, but you're already complaining."
Anmi, with her back to him and her head resting on a soft pillow, began to hesitate.
She hasn't slept alone in a long time.
After marriage, sleeping together has become a habit for the two of them.
She remembered that the morning before yesterday, Yan Jinnian had gone to the company early because of something. When she opened her eyes and didn't see him, she panicked for a while.
The little grass in her heart swayed back and forth... Anmi turned her face back.
Yan Jinnian added fuel to the fire at the opportune moment: "Actually, these old houses only look quiet during the day; I wonder what they're like at night..."
Anmi frowned: "What do you mean!"
As if in response to her guess, a bolt of lightning flashed outside the window at just the right moment.
The dim ceiling was instantly illuminated, and the colorful paintings and wood carvings covering it looked strangely eerie.
Like a horror movie set in an ancient mansion.
"!"
This scared Anmi into submission.
"Waaaaah! Honey, I don't want to sleep in separate rooms anymore!"
"I'll sleep with you tonight!"
…
After playing around for a while, Anmi's eyelids started to droop.
She used the cushion as a pillow and quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was dusk, and the drizzle was still falling outside the window.
The room was pitch black, with only the floor-standing candlestick behind the daybed providing light.
A fluffy, thin blanket had been placed over her body sometime while she was asleep; it must have been Yan Jinnian who covered her with it.
She looked up and saw the man leaning against the armrest, his eyes closed in rest, a warm glow gently emanating from his brows.
Long eyelashes resting on either side of the nose bridge—this scene is heart-melting.
She instinctively draped half of the blanket over him, but unintentionally startled him.
"Awake?" Yan Jinnian's eyes were deep.
"Mmm." Anmi gently rubbed against his leg and said in a coquettish tone, "Honey, I want a hug."
A smile appeared in the man's eyes as he lay down on his side, pulling her close to his chest.
Anmi buried her face in his neck, listening to his breathing.
Yan Jin patted her back lightly: "Will you sleep with me tonight, wife?"
Anmi just had a good sleep and her mind is still very clear.
Her voice was soft and gentle: "But I slept for so long just now, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight..."
Yan Jinnian bit her earlobe: "Then let's do something else."
Something else?
She blushed instantly: "I'm still on my period..."
"Wife..." A wicked smile appeared on the man's lips.
"It can be used elsewhere."
"you!"
Anmi was frightened by his outrageous words.
What other place!
It's a complete mess, utterly shameless!
Her ears were flushed red as she tried to get off him: "Dream on! I don't want to..."
But Yan Jinnian held her waist, preventing her from moving.
"Honey, give it a try..."
He coaxed in a hoarse voice, "You should learn some new knowledge too."
Waaaaah!
Anmi is most afraid of hearing 'new knowledge' now!
Previously, her back would suffer every time he finished sharing 'new knowledge'.
Although it might not be my back that suffers this time, but...
“I think meditation is great.” She became serious in a second.
Yan Jinnian didn't stand on ceremony with her: "I'm learning new knowledge."
"No, I want to meditate!"
"Learning has no end; keep learning new knowledge!"
"Waaaaah, I don't want to learn!"
"Sweetie, you only need to learn one part tonight..."
"Ahhh, you're talking nonsense about tonics!"
After some 'refusals,' I still learned the new material that evening.
They not only studied, but also practiced repeatedly until late at night.
Before going to sleep, Anmi lay on the carved wooden bed, rubbing her bright red lips, and kicked someone hard.
Afterwards, someone feigned concern, asking, "Honey, is your throat still bothering you?"
"roll!"
He had barely finished speaking when he was kicked again.
He continued shamelessly coaxing, "Honey, don't be angry, I'll do it next time..."
"Aaaaaah, don't even think about a next time!"
The candle went out, and in the end, he pitifully clung to the blanket covering his wife as he slept.
After all, a disobedient man needs to be taught a lesson.
Otherwise, how will he learn his lesson?
Of course, this statement was made by An Xiaomi, the owner of our Beijing courtyard house and a master of taming her husband.
