Chapter 17: The Seventeenth Day of Reservedness I must sleep in the same bed with you, ...
"Don't be shy. How are you and your brother-in-law? Is he really that good? Tell me, and I'll give you the best medicine. I guarantee you'll have super harmonious sex!"
Jing Rouyue has a loud voice with a strong voice. Although her Chinese is not very fluent, it does not prevent her from speaking like firecrackers, with long strings of words popping out.
After hearing this, Shan Yin was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't care whether the water bottle was full or not, and hurriedly carried the two cups to the table.
When I got closer, I saw Pei Yunhe looking up, leaning back in his chair with his arms folded, just watching.
Shan Yin was embarrassed and didn't dare to look at him. He put down the glass of water and went to get his cell phone.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yunhe suddenly coughed, and the whole restaurant became quiet again.
"Sing?"
Jing Rouyue finally lowered her voice and tried.
"moon……"
"hello."
Before Shan Yin could call Jing Rouyue, Pei Yunhe, who was sitting lazily, suddenly leaned over, approached the mobile phone on Shan Yin's table, and whispered hello.
Shan Yin was stunned, and Jing Rouyue on the other end of the phone was also stunned. After a long while, she stammered in an uncertain voice: "Who are you..."
"Your brother-in-law."
I don't know if he did it on purpose or what, but he actually replied in Jing Rouyue's mixed Chinese and English accent.
When Shan Yin heard Jing Rouyue mutter "God bless me", she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.
"Brother-in-law, hello...congratulations on your wedding!"
Jing Rouyue wanted to save him again, but she didn't expect that it would be better not to say it.
Pei Yunhe raised an eyebrow and replied to Jing Rouyue, but looked at Shan Yin. "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. Everything is fine. I won't be in trouble."
"No, that's not what I meant. My Chinese is very good! No, I mean my Chinese is not very good!" Jing Rouyue knew that she seemed to have made a big mistake. She collapsed and cried out, "Sorry! I didn't catch that!"
Then the call came to an abrupt end.
The whole room was silent, the air was stagnant. Dan Yin pondered for a long time, wondering if it would seem too deliberate if she went back to the kitchen to get water.
But Pei Yunhe never gave her this opportunity.
He raised his eyelids and stared at Shan Yin, but Shan Yin avoided his gaze and heard him chuckle.
Memories from a week ago surfaced and then faded, his gaze slowly focusing on the dishes on the table: leeks, young bamboo shoots, Chinese toon, crucian carp soup...
"So you really think I'm not good enough?"
How dare she think that?!
Shan Yin subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but in her haste, she was frightened by him and her hands trembled, causing the full glass of water to fall onto the table and spill all over her skirt.
A chill ran down her body, and she suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity. While Pei Yunhe was still not reacting, she shook her hand again and poured out the other half cup of water.
“You…”
"My clothes are wet, I'm going to change first!"
Without waiting for Pei Yunhe to say anything else, Shan Yin picked up his cell phone and almost ran upstairs.
She closed the door. Changing was just an excuse. It was not appropriate to go down and face Pei Yunhe at this juncture. She simply took her clothes into the bathroom and ran a bath.
It was still a little cold after being soaked in April. After sitting in the hot water, Shan Yinfang took a long breath. The skin exposed outside the water was a little cold. She shivered and shrank into the water.
After she felt a little more relaxed, her phone was placed on the small chopping board when Jing Rouyue's message popped up again, cautiously asking her if her brother-in-law was difficult to mess with.
Shan Yin tilted his head, thought for a while, then pulled his hand out from under the water and answered her.
In fact, Pei Yunhe is not someone who is easy to mess with. His temper never goes beyond the limit. They are husband and wife, and there is no limit in some things.
Shan Yin had been prepared for the marriage as early as when she decided to arrange it. It was only a matter of time before she and Pei Yunhe became close. She shouldn't mind it so much, so as not to really hurt Pei Yunhe's self-esteem.
Jing Rouyue also agreed repeatedly and sent a voice message: "Sing, men all have self-respect. If your brother-in-law is really not good enough... just bear with it, and then go back to raising someone else! But don't show it, otherwise it will definitely affect your marriage relationship!"
“…”What’s going on?
She didn't seem to mention whether he could do it or not...
But, is it really not possible?
Shan Yin didn't dare to think about it. Jing Rouyue was still talking: "But don't worry! The special medicine in my research institute is really good. I will send it to you! Oh no, when I have a holiday and my mommy takes me back to China, I will bring it to you personally!"
Jing Rouyue and her aunt were going back to China. Shan Yin was happy to hear that, but he decided not to mention the special medicine anymore.
She chatted with Jing Rouyue for a while, put down her phone, thought of Pei Yunhe again, and sighed to herself.
Jing Rouyue was right. She and Pei Yunhe were in an arranged marriage, and it was only a matter of time before things got to that point.
Instead of being hesitant and unable to let go, it's better to be generous. Just like Jing Rouyue said, a good sex life helps to make the marriage harmonious.
She had been preparing herself mentally like this for a long time, so why did she feel embarrassed again after spending a few days with Pei Yunhe?
Most of the children from wealthy families are promiscuous, and she was probably afraid that Pei Yunhe would be the same.
But I only heard him say today that he is loyal, and I don’t know if it is true.
If that were the case, she could save herself a lot of trouble and be responsible for both parties' health.
But if he was just lying to me...
"Why."
While sighing, Shan Yin seemed to hear several knocks on the door outside. It could only be Pei Yunhe.
He didn't call her, and she didn't respond. She lay a little deeper into the water, her mind gradually becoming empty.
As the water temperature gradually cooled, even the body gently wrapped in the water felt a chill. Shan Yin shook his head slightly and got out of the bathtub.
There was another hurried knock on the door, and this time Pei Yunhe spoke, calling her name loudly.
"Dan Yin, Dan Yin! If you don't make a sound I'm coming in!"
He seemed very anxious; Dan Yin rarely heard him speak so loudly.
She quickly responded, changed her clothes and went to open the door.
Pei Yunhe was about to knock on the door again when he suddenly saw Shan Yin open the door from the inside, his hand still hanging in the air.
He just glanced at her, and the anxiety in his eyes instantly turned into anger. He was angry and stared at Shan Yin.
"What were you doing in there? You were changing clothes? You spent over an hour changing?! You didn't even answer my messages or phone calls!"
The anger was like a heat wave, and she was speechless. Her heart throbbed with the waves, and the coldness in her body was forced behind her, condensing into fine beads of sweat on her back.
"Do you know how worrying this is?"
Seeing Shan Yin standing there in a daze without saying anything, Pei Yunhe's brows were filled with heaving and worry. He couldn't bear to be annoyed with Shan Yin, so he grasped the door panel with his hands and clenched them tightly.
"I was just taking a shower..."
After she finished chatting with Jing Rouyue, she turned on the mute function and didn't pay much attention to it when she was free.
She wanted to explain, but seeing the mountains between Pei Yunhe's brows, she felt that explanation was useless.
"I'll be more careful next time," she said softly.
Shan Yin felt a lot of guilt because of Pei Yunhe's anger. She lived with him under the same roof, which really caused him trouble. Moreover, he prepared the meal, and she left after eating halfway, which was very disrespectful. Now she hadn't even cleaned up the food, which was really impolite.
She walked out of the door in small steps. Pei Yunhe stood there like a wall, motionless.
"What are you going to do?"
Shan Yin raised his eyes, knowing he was in the wrong but still being extremely meek, "Have you finished eating? I'll go clean up."
"Tsk, since no one is eating the meal I worked so hard to make, of course I have to eat it myself."
"...Then I'll go wash the dishes."
"You're still waiting for me to wash? I've already packed it up." Pei Yunhe's anger faded quickly. He lowered his head and glanced at Shan Yin. "Of course, if you're hungry, I left some for you."
"I'm not hungry." She shook her head gently again.
"If you're not hungry, then you're not hungry." She always rejected his kindness. Pei Yunhe was used to it. Even if he was unhappy, he was too lazy to say anything more.
It was already approaching evening when they landed at the airport. They had been busy cooking and eating for a long time. Now it was almost time for Dan Yin to rest, and Pei Yunhe glanced at the wall clock in the master bedroom.
"If you're not hungry, then go to sleep."
Without waiting for Shan Yin to reply, he let go of his hand and closed the door lightly.
This man came up to her and got angry, then left without saying anything.
However, Shan Yin couldn't bring herself to want Pei Yunhe to stay. She blinked, loosened her hand on the door handle, and turned back to the bedroom.
But she didn't expect that twenty minutes later, Pei Yunhe knocked on her door again.
Shan Yin opened the door and saw Pei Yunhe outside. He had already changed into a neat set of pajamas, his hair was slightly wet and hung neatly in front of his forehead. The familiar smell of orange soda was floating in the air.
He held his pillow and was about to go inside.
"you……"
As if he had prepared a script in advance, Pei Yunhe finished it in one breath before Shan Yin opened his mouth: "In order to avoid leaving your family with the impression that I am incompetent, and to prevent my wife from having any accidents in my house without me, the male owner, knowing anything about it——"
He turned around and squinted his eyes at Shan Yin: "So I must sleep in the same bed with you and clear my name."
“…”
While he was struggling between conscience and desire, Pei Yunhe had already strode into the bedroom.
This was originally his room, so he was naturally familiar with it. He turned over to bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Shan Yin was in a dilemma for a long time, so long that the fresh breeze from outside blew in, and she felt both hot and cold.
In the end, I followed my plan when taking a bath and lay back on the bed pretending to be calm.
The mattress sank slightly, and she lay down obediently, glancing at Pei Yunhe not far away who still had his eyes closed.
He sleeps much better than me. Whether before going to bed or after waking up, I always see him lying flat on his back.
Shan Yin didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly counted Pei Yunhe's breaths, each one longer than the last.
She thought he was probably tired as he hadn't gotten enough rest during these days of business trip.
She didn't want to disturb him, but she lay in the same bed with him again. Dan Yin couldn't sleep, clutching the corner of the quilt, her heart trembling with anxiety.
Because of the embarrassment during dinner, and also because of Pei Yunhe's nervousness when he was anxiously looking for her.
Shan Yin felt a little hot, so he quietly reached out to the bedside table and turned on the air conditioner.
She glanced at Pei Yunhe's profile out of the corner of her eye. There were distinct wrinkles on his face, his eye sockets were like clear lakes, and his eyelashes were like the flowers and plants growing by the lake, trembling in the wind.
The high nose bridge is the peak of a mountain, and below the peak are their lips that were once tightly pressed together.
Her thoughts went back to the day of her wedding. The light kiss was sacred and solemn, without any romantic touch. But she still felt hot and dizzy, and she turned over in her sleep again.
There was a small hole on her back because the quilt was open, and a cool breeze blew in. After a long time, she still couldn't fall asleep. Instead, she felt even more uncomfortable because of the alternation between cold and heat.
So she turned over again, carefully tucked the quilt in twice, and because she was embarrassed to sleep facing Pei Yunhe, she turned over again.
A few minutes later, he turned back again.
"Dan Yin, you're tossing and turning late at night, what are you thinking about?"
A low voice suddenly sounded, and Shan Yin was like a child who was concentrating on his homework but was suddenly called upon to answer a question.
She was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Pei Yunhe's eyes reflecting the moonlight.
Some words just came out of my mouth: "I was wondering if we should give it a try."
