Chapter 39: I Just Can’t Sleep
There was silence all around as the two people looked at each other, with unexplainable emotions in each other's eyes.
Compared to the pure love in the man's eyes, Su Yunci's eyes were more complicated and confused than his.
"Thank you, Kamano..."
"I'm telling the truth. Life after marrying you is much better than I imagined."
Pu Ye's eyebrows softened as he looked at her steadily, his uneven hair swaying lightly between his brows. He spoke softly, "I'm glad I didn't disappoint you about married life."
"If, I mean if," Su Yunci hypothesized, "if you married someone other than me, would you treat her the same way?"
"What kind of stupid question are you asking?"
As if punishing her, Pu Ye squeezed the woman's face with his hands, forcing her mouth to pout high. The man then leaned forward and gave her a kiss.
"I'm not someone who would marry anyone casually, so, I mean... it's only you."
Su Yunci dodged his restraints, "Men's mouths are deceitful. They told me it was only me, but they would definitely say the same thing to other women."
“…”
Pu Ye stared at the woman's rosy cheeks and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you going to force me to admit that I've fallen for you?"
"ah?"
Su Yunci seemed to have lost her soul for a moment, and she was so dazed that she missed the red on the man's ear.
Pu Ye suddenly became furious. He stood up and tucked the little woman into bed without any gentleness. "What? It's time to go to bed!"
"Why are you so fierce... I think you have the potential to be a domestic violence man."
“…”
Su Yunci lay straight, occupying a small space by himself, with most of his face buried in the quilt, leaving only a pair of seductive eyes exposed.
Pu Ye gave in and hugged the woman to coax her, "Sleep ancestor"
"But I sleep too much during the day..."
"Whoever speaks from now on is a puppy"
After placing the bet, the man put his chin on her head and closed his eyes, pretending to be dead.
Su Yunci: "..."
The lights went out and the room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that even the man's breathing could be heard clearly.
"Woof woof~~"
In the quiet room, the woman suddenly felt playful. She propped herself up and pressed against the side of Pu Ye's face, making a "woof woof" sound like a puppy.
"I want to talk."
Su Yunci kept rubbing the tip of his nose against Pu Ye, "Hurry up and bark like a dog and talk to me."
“…”
Pu Ye's solar plexus was throbbing, and his patience was exhausted by the torture of the little woman. The little girl Su Yunci was becoming more and more lawless.
"Kamane..."
Su Yunci shook his arm and almost learned to bark like a dog for him.
“Woof woof…”
Pu Ye was completely unable to resist the woman's rare entanglement, and he couldn't control his mouth and shouted out what she wanted.
"Hehe o(^▽^)o, can you chat with me now?"
Su Yunci acted like a few years old again, pestering his parents to tell him bedtime stories and making unreasonable demands.
She grabbed the man's palm and pinched his fingers lightly and then hard.
Through the loose curtains, Pu Ye saw the woman's crescent-shaped eyes and the sweet dimples on her cheeks. He accepted his defeat and leaned his head against her shoulder.
"What do you want me to talk to you about?"
"We can talk about anything..."
Su Yunci had an idea, "How about you tell me a story?"
“…”
Pu Ye was desperate. "I've lived for twenty-seven years and haven't heard many stories. How can I tell them?"
"Just make one up now."
After Su Yunci let herself go, she didn't care about the man's life or death at all.
"Does your stomach hurt anymore?"
Pu Ye's gentle breath hit the woman's snow-white neck. "I've taken good care of you first, and now you're trying to make trouble for me, right?"
"No."
Su Yunci was depressed. "I used to look forward to my parents telling me bedtime stories before going to bed, but they always accompanied me to practice piano until late at night..."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Can I tell you all night long?"
She knew Pu Ye's lifeblood very well. As long as she brought up the hardships of her childhood, Pu Ye would definitely not be able to hold on for more than three seconds.
"Telling fairy tales, warm and sad"
“…”
Even if Pu Ye emptied his brain, he couldn't come up with a fairy tale that met the requirements, but once he lowered his eyes and met the woman's expectant smile...
"I've already told you. If it's not good, it's not my fault. Just make do with it and listen."
"Yeah, yeah."
The man cleared his throat and spoke in a low, clear voice as he spoke.
[Once upon a time, there was a goldfish who fell in love with the little duck over there]
Just as he finished speaking, Su Yunci interrupted, "Can a goldfish really fall in love with a duck? They are obviously not the same species."
"What do you care? I just fell in love with it."
"You're squeezing me..."
Pu Ye warned, "Are you listening or not?"
Su Yunci closed his mouth and said, "Listen, I promise not to interrupt you."
The man changed his sleeping position and stretched out his long legs to press on the woman's thin calves.
【Goldfish Duck said: I want to kiss you, okay?】
The little duck shyly nodded and said, "Just one kiss."
[The little goldfish pecked her cheek carefully, then pecked it again, and then pecked it again.]
…
Su Yunci listened attentively, occasionally looking up at the storyteller, and her earlobe happened to brush against the man's lips.
The duckling pushed him away. He looked frustrated and apologized profusely: "I'm sorry, fish only have a memory of seven seconds. When I kissed you, I forgot everything."
[The little duck comforted him: "It's okay, I know."]
【Later, the two of them got together.】
【Goldfish said: I lied to you at that time.】
[The little duck turned around and smiled, saying: I know.]
…
Pu Ye finished speaking from memory.
When Xiaobao lived with him, he also asked for bedtime stories every night.
He held the book and talked about whatever Xiaobao pointed to.
Once, Xiaobao pointed to this article. Pu Ye took a quick glance at it, knew the content of the story, and then changed to another one without anyone noticing.
He is so young that he doesn't understand even when you explain it to him. He keeps asking questions and he just skips it.
Su Yunci was immersed in it, and began to envy the love story of a fish and a duck with amusement.
"Kumano, does this story have a name?"
"Yes, I have"
Pu Ye's brows were knotted, and he tried hard to recall the glance he had taken and what the name of the story was.
“It’s called ‘Memory of Fish’.”
“It fits the story very well”
Su Yunci invited the man to answer his speech: "Pu Ye, do you think goldfish and ducklings are a good match?"
"They're a perfect match. One plays dumb, the other sees everything but says nothing. A perfect match."
The two chatted incoherently, and gradually, Su Yunci yawned. Pu Ye saw it and said thank God in his heart that the little girl was finally sleepy.
"Tell me another one, I want to hear it"
Kamano:?
