Li Sisi asked: "What should we do then?"
Xiao Yunchen said calmly, "Stay in my room first. I'll send you out tomorrow when I find the chance."
"Okay then." Li Sisi pointed to the end of the bed, "You sleep there tonight!"
Xiao Yunchen looked at the empty end of the bed and said cautiously, "I can't get used to sleeping without a silk pillow."
Li Sisi looked up at the handsome man in the candlelight, his brows slightly furrowed. "Tsk, so delicate."
She angrily threw the pillow from the headboard to the foot of the bed: "Here! It's for you to sleep on."
Xiao Yunchen lowered his eyes and looked at the person who had already lain in bed with her eyes closed. He was silent for a moment and whispered, "Sister, you can rest your head on my arm. This way, you and I can both sleep more peacefully."
Li Sisi folded her hands behind her head, without even opening her eyes, and snorted coldly: "Go to sleep, you can do whatever you want in your dreams."
She said softly and slowly, "You don't have to think too much. I'll leave tomorrow. Just be casual tonight."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunchen took the silk pillow at the end of the bed, bent down and placed it on the head of the bed: "Sister is right, it's only one night."
Li Sisi noticed his movement and suddenly opened her eyes, then saw Xiao Yunchen's handsome face approaching. Her breathing stagnated and she pushed him away with both hands.
He asked in a low voice: "What are you doing so close to me?"
"Here's the silk pillow for you," Xiao Yunchen paused, then said, suppressing his pounding heart, "I won't sleep tonight..."
Li Sisi looked at his reaction in confusion: "Not sleeping? Then what are you going to do?"
Noticing his red cheeks, Li Sisi sat up curiously: "Why are you blushing?"
"No, it's just that the room is a little stuffy." Xiao Yunchen was so nervous that his heart was beating wildly, his mouth and tongue were a little dry, and his mind was full of her rosy lips.
Afraid that his shameful reactions would be discovered, he hurriedly turned away, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, "I'm going to read a book."
Li Sisi looked at his hurried and strange footsteps and frowned in confusion.
Confused, I asked the system, "What's wrong with him? Was I too harsh just now? Is he angry?"
That's not right. Wasn't he blushing just now?
System reply: [It seems that he has thoughts about you in his mind, but he doesn’t dare to act.]
Li Sisi [Hmm?]
[Just think about it, sleeping in the same bed with the person you love, but not being able to kiss, hug, touch, or sleep with them, how torturous would that be?]
Li Sisi was puzzled: [Is it torture?] It's okay? As long as I focus on my thoughts and stop overthinking, won't it be fine?
She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yunchen who was sitting at the table. The yellowish candlelight illuminated his jade-like profile, as if coating his elegant and handsome face with a layer of glow.
The noble young man with picturesque features lowered his eyes, reading a book quietly and attentively.
Li Sisi swallowed unconsciously.
He is so handsome...
She couldn't help but called out softly, "Xiao Yunchen."
The man who was quietly reading looked up at her with a gentle gaze: "Hmm?"
Li Sisi suddenly came to her senses and waved her hands: "It's okay. Read a book!"
Li Sisi pulled the quilt over her and lay down, her heart beating wildly.
System: [Host, this is such a great opportunity tonight, don't miss it! A handsome man is right in front of you, and he likes you very much. Are you really not tempted?]
Li Sisi said succinctly: [No, I'm not interested.]
"If you sleep with him tonight, I'll give you more health! Think about it, how much health have you wasted on him lately? You have to take this opportunity to earn it back!"
Li Sisi's face was full of strangeness. "Tongzi, please don't make this matter sound so profit-oriented, okay?"
System: [It's not beneficial. If you're emotional, why don't you just sleep? I really don't know what you're entangled with.]
Li Sisi sighed softly: [Knowing it would be fruitless, knowing I wouldn't choose, I should have cut it off completely.]
The system rolled its eyes inwardly: [Have you completely broken up? You could have run away for him, but instead you came back. Doesn't that mean you can't let him go?]
[Since you can't let go, just hold on to it! Why think so much? My host once said, drink while you can! Enjoy it when you can!]
The system is also speechless about the two hosts it is bound to.
Neither of them was ambitious! After several years of nothingness, it was finally time for host Li Nian and the Son of Heaven to get along, and it finally lived a good life with plenty of energy.
The result! They separated again!
According to the progress of the two of them, it will take an eternity to accumulate enough energy to leave this world and return to the system headquarters!
The system continued to persuade him kindly, "Host, you've slept with him so many times, a few more won't make any difference. Think about all the health points you've wasted on him. If you don't make it up this time, you'll be losing a lot!"
At this moment, Xiao Yunchen walked over slowly and asked softly, "Sister, are you unable to sleep because you are in an unfamiliar environment?"
He sat down on the bed and asked, "Do you want me to read to you?"
Li Sisi's eyes drifted towards the scroll in his hand and she asked in a low voice, "What book?"
"There are no storybooks, only some history books on qualifications, which may be a bit boring to listen to." Xiao Yunchen answered truthfully.
Li Sisi didn't pick it up anymore. It was better to divert her attention than to have her mind filled with dirty trash.
"Okay, read it!" She closed her eyes.
In the quiet room, a clear voice reads the obscure history book.
After a while, Li Sisi fell asleep.
Seeing her breathing gradually calm down, Xiao Yunchen stopped reading and his eyes fell on her peaceful sleeping face.
As far as he could remember, only in the early days of their marriage, every time he woke up early in the morning, he could see his wife waking up in his arms.
Half-drowsy, without even seeing his face, I called him "Chenchen~" in a dazed voice that sounded sweet and dependent.
He hadn't heard it for a long, long time.
Xiao Yunchen leaned closer and gently kissed her forehead.
She whispered softly, "You obviously have me in your heart, why do you keep rejecting me?"
His white, cold knuckles gently stroked the hair of the person on the bed, and his voice was low and slow: "My lady, please don't be tempted by others again. It will not benefit him, and it will only make you sad. Why bother?"
Xiao Yunchen took off his outer robe, lifted the quilt, and lay quietly on his side next to Li Sisi, gently wrapping his long arms around her waist.
At this moment, he seemed to be back to the beginning of their marriage, when they would fall asleep quietly in this way after every night of lovemaking.
Xiao Yunchen closed his eyes and sighed with satisfaction.
Outside the window, a bright moon was in the sky, illuminating the capital's carved beams and painted buildings, making the eaves and corners look as if they were sprinkled with white salt.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
Li Nian suddenly woke up.
The window that was originally closed was broken open.
With the bright silver moonlight, Li Nian saw a black shadow jumping in from the window and landing on the ground with a dull "bang!"
"Who!" Li Nian shouted in a low voice, staring at the black shadow on the ground outside with vigilance.
This person was able to break in through the window on the second floor, which shows how skilled he is.
But apart from Xiao Yunyu and Jinhe, no one else lived in Xiao Yunyu's Liuli Pavilion.
