Chapter 47 Measuring Clothes Sizes: Red and Snow White
Li Chengyi then realized that Lin Yanshu hadn't slept at all.
He dared not move an inch, yet Lin Yanshu pressed herself tightly against his arm. Li Chengyi felt something soft, no, not just soft, but also…
Li Chengyi was in turmoil.
Li pulled his arm away, quickly propped himself up, and sat up. Lin Yan didn't know what was wrong with Li Chengyi. She blinked her big eyes and sat up as well.
Li Chengyi knew very well what had just pressed down on him; it was incredibly soft and carried Lin Yanshu's unique fragrance. The more Li Chengyi thought about it, the hotter his body became.
If it were just Lin Yanshu pressing down on him, he wouldn't be in this state. The problem is that it's too... Lin Yanshu is like he's not wearing anything at all. He can clearly feel the hardness within the softness.
Li Chengyi felt completely stunned, his head was spinning, and he couldn't say anything. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but as soon as he breathed, the air was filled with Lin Yanshu's fragrance.
This is even worse...
He covered his eyes with his hands, trying to escape this embarrassing situation.
Seeing that his face was flushed, Lin Yanshu thought that Li Chengyi had a fever. She knelt on the couch, straightened her body, reached out and pried off Li Chengyi's hand covering his eyes, and placed her own palm on Li Chengyi's forehead.
Women are naturally cold-blooded, unlike men who are warm-blooded, especially in winter. Lin Yanshu's fingertips were cold as she touched Li Chengyi's forehead.
Li Chengyi looked up at her. Lin Yanshu was the same height as him. He looked up and saw everything clearly. Lin Yanshu wasn't wearing... a bodice underneath.
The impact of turning speculation into certainty and then seeing the facts unfold before your eyes is unique.
Li Chengyi blinked repeatedly, trying to banish the round and full image from his mind, but it was like a brand, deeply imprinted in his eyes.
Li Chengyi was panting heavily. He arched his back, not wanting Lin Yanshu to notice the strangeness in his body.
Lin Yanshu felt that Li Chengyi's forehead was burning hot, and she looked at him with concern:
"Why are you so hot? Are you very hot?"
Lee Seung-ik thought that if she didn't touch him, he wouldn't be so hot.
Just as he was about to speak, a warm liquid flowed from his nose.
He had a nosebleed.
Fresh blood dripped onto Lin Yanshu's pristine white undergarment. The droplet instantly blossomed into a flower-like shape, a stain against the pristine silk, a defilement. The two colors juxtaposed, creating a striking contrast.
Lee Seung-ik closed his eyes resignedly, took a heavy breath, suppressed his desire, and said in a muffled voice:
"fine."
"Yan Shu, don't touch me yet."
Lin Yanshu withdrew her hand, staring intently at Li Chengyi. How could he be alright? Li Chengyi had a nosebleed, and it was still bleeding.
Lee Seung-ik tilted his head back, trying to stop the nosebleed. After a while, he lowered his head and asked in a hoarse voice:
Why aren't you wearing anything underneath?
Lin Yanshu lowered her head; she was already dressed.
"What do you mean inside? I'm dressed."
Li Chengyi resigned himself to his fate. Lin Yanshu was so dense; he could only get her to understand when he spoke very bluntly.
Li Cheng blushed deeply, his entire earlobes turning a deep red that seemed to bleed.
"No...not this dress."
"It is... a bellyband."
Lin Yanshu then exclaimed "Oh!" as if suddenly realizing something, and explained quite frankly:
"It was too tight to wear, so I didn't wear it."
Li Chengyi opened his eyes as she spoke. Lin Yanshu had indeed gained some weight recently. And... she had gained some weight there too.
It was his oversight that he failed to notice the recent changes in Lin Yanshu's health.
He stammered, "Although... the clothes don't fit, you should tell me."
"I can't go without this!"
Lin Yanshu knew, and she nodded. She was just bored at night and didn't wear it. Besides, she slept with her mother, so why would she wear it?
"knew."
“But I sleep with my mother, why should I wear it?”
Li Chengyi was in a real bind.
"No, you have to wear it even if you're with me! Forget about tonight."
Li Chengyi's words were beyond reproach, so Lin Yanshu could only nod blankly and then say:
"I understand. Can we go to sleep now?"
Li Chengyi, unexpectedly provoked by Lin Yanshu, had no desire to sleep. But he had no excuse not to sleep, otherwise Lin Yanshu would cry again.
Li Chengyi was exhausted, very exhausted. Being a mother is so tiring.
Li Chengyi lay down, covered himself with the blanket, and closed his eyes:
"Go to sleep."
Lin Yanshu happily lay down beside him. She felt a little cold, so she covered herself with one quilt, and Li Chengyi covered himself with another.
She turned to face Lee Seung-ik, who had his eyes closed and was breathing steadily.
Lin Yanshu stared intently. Li Chengyi was actually pretending to be asleep, but he dared not open his eyes, afraid that if he did, Lin Yanshu would do something else. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Lin Yanshu carefully sketched Li Chengyi's features in her mind.
Beautiful, so beautiful.
Lin Yanshu couldn't help but move closer. She nimbly slipped into Li Chengyi's quilt, kicked her own quilt aside, and naturally snuggled up to Li Chengyi.
Lee Seung-ik lay stiffly. Although somewhat surprised, he wasn't as startled as he had been at first. He forced himself to remain still.
Lin Yanshu found Li Chengyi's bed exceptionally warm, especially Li Chengyi himself, who was like a warm charcoal stove. Lin Yanshu draped her arm over Li Chengyi's chest and fell asleep leaning against him.
Li Chengyi remained stiff and didn't sleep a wink until dawn.
During the day, Lin Yanshu stretched and opened her eyes. She looked to her side and saw that the bed was empty.
She sat up, still covered by the blanket, and sat there blankly for a while. After a short while, Li Chengyi came in, and a servant brought in several sets of clothes.
Li Chengyi got up very early and took a cold shower. He was afraid that Lin Yanshu would not see him and would make a fuss, so he came back.
He showed these outfits to Lin Yanshu:
"Choose one."
As Li Chengyi spoke, he handed Lin Yanshu another set of undergarments. He turned his face away and said in a hoarse voice:
"Your undergarment is dirty, change it."
Lin Yanshu groggily hummed in agreement, took the undergarment, and pulled out a bodice from inside to slip it on. The undergarments Li Chengyi brought were all old ones that he had sent someone to fetch from Lin Yanshu's room.
Lin Yanshu's clothes were a little small.
Li Chengyi turned his back, closed his eyes tightly, and silently recited the strategy in his mind, trying to ignore the rustling sound of clothes behind him. He felt that the cold water from the morning shower had evaporated into steam, and the chill had been swept away.
Lin Yanshu was dressed, wearing a light yellow cotton coat. She jumped off the bed, in a great mood.
"I'm dressed!"
Li Chengyi opened his eyes, looked at Lin Yanshu, and hummed in response. He put his hand on Lin Yanshu's shoulder and turned her around, so that she was facing away from Li Chengyi.
Lin Yanshu didn't know what Li Chengyi was going to do. She stood quietly. Li Chengyi nervously swallowed and looked down at Lin Yanshu in front of him, her black hair hanging down.
He bent down, his tall figure looming over Lin Yanshu, casting a shadow over her head.
Li Chengyi carefully opened his arms, then slowly closed them, his movements deliberate, until he had completely encircled Lin Yanshu in his embrace. His arms tightened slightly against Lin Yanshu's chest, pressing against her breasts.
Lin Yanshu looked up, smiling at Li Chengyi, and asked:
"What are they doing?"
Li Chengyi, fearing that Lin Yanshu would say something shocking again, casually replied with a nonsensical statement:
"Let me hold my little Yanshu."
Li Chengyi memorized Lin Yanshu's current measurements. Upon hearing Li Chengyi's words, Lin Yanshu immediately turned around.
She opened her arms and hugged Li Chengyi tightly, pressing her entire body against him. She tilted her head back, her eyes crinkling into bright smiles, and said:
"Then I'll hug my mother too."
Li Chengyi looked down at Lin Yanshu's lively expression and smiled unconsciously.
A seductive little cat.
…………
Li Chengyi asked Huo Zheng to find an embroiderer to make Lin Yanshu's undergarments:
"Your Highness, the embroiderer has arrived."
Li Chengyi was in a hurry, and it was the first time the embroiderer had ever seen a man come out to order a woman's small garment.
She asked:
"What kind of items do you want, and how many? What is your wife's size?"
What styles do you have?
The embroiderer took out the design sketches and began to explain them in detail:
"Our store has the most diverse styles in Beijing; no other store has them!"
"Look at these red phoenixes and mandarin ducks, and plum blossoms and green bamboo, and even landscape paintings. They're perfect for you young couples! There are so many colors, bright red, light pink, sir. Which one do you like to see?"
What kind of clothes does the lady like to wear?
Li Chengyi looked down at the design sketch, coughed awkwardly. He had never seen Lin Yanshu wear it, so how would he know if he liked that style?
He randomly picked ten based on his intuition and gave the measurements to the embroiderer.
"Yes, sir!"
"Make it tonight and send it over."
The embroiderer's face stiffened. This man was really impatient, wanting it today. But his family paid twice as much as outsiders, so she might as well ask for more from her master.
The embroiderer accepted the order and hurriedly began to work. As dusk fell, they delivered these ten undergarments. Li Chengyi didn't dare to examine the girls' items closely; if he had, he wouldn't have given them all to Lin Yanshu.
Lin Yanshu came to his room as usual that night, but unlike last night, she wore her undergarments today.
Although it was a bit stuffy, Li Chengyi had repeatedly told her to wear it yesterday, so she had no choice but to.
Li Chengyi was already waiting for her by the bedside. Hearing the sound, he slightly raised his eyes, feigning composure, and called out to Lin Yanshu:
"come over."
Lin Yanshu obediently walked over. Li Chengyi pointed to the small garment on the bed and said:
"These are for you. Try them on."
Lin Yanshu sat on the couch with curiosity and picked up the small garment to take a look.
One, two, three... eleven items.
Each one was different, but one in particular stood out. Lin Yanshu picked up the unusual undergarment with one hand, held it up to Li Chengyi, and asked curiously:
"Mother, why does this dress look like this?"
Li Chengyi looked over and saw Lin Yanshu casually holding a brightly colored, semi-openwork bodice in mid-air.
The vibrant colors of the bodice and Lin Yanshu's snow-white fingers complemented each other, striking Li Chengyi's gaze.
Li Chengyi blushed instantly. This… how could there be something like this in here? He clearly didn't want this kind of marital toy.
Lin Yanshu, still shameless, shook it in the air and offered it to Li Chengyi's face.
Li Chengyi sending Lin Yanshu a small garment was already beyond his limits, and now he's being provoked by something like this.
Li Chengyi reached out and grabbed Lin Yanshu's wrist as she moved forward.
