Chapter 14 Sleepwalking Are you sure you want to sleep alone tonight?
At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang in the room. It was the alarm clock that Yu You set specially in order to arrive early for the morning show.
Yu You slept soundly in Jiang Xunzhou's arms, his eyelashes closed. He didn't hear anything. When he was woken up, he was completely confused: "The alarm clock rang?"
Jiang Xunzhou sighed, "This is the second time it's happened. Little Fish Baby, why don't you change your name to Little Pig Baby?"
Yu You was a little unhappy about what he said, but remembering that Jiang Xunzhou was still his boss and an indispensable partner during the passionate period, he swallowed his anger and sat up by himself: "Thank you, husband, for waking me. You can continue to sleep."
Jiang Xunzhou was woken up and no longer sleepy. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "No need to sleep. I'll take you to the crew."
Driver Wang knew Yu You's itinerary, so he drove outside and waited for them. He picked up the two of them and drove to the filming set.
When they arrived at the destination, Yu You was about to get off the car when Jiang Xunzhou stopped him again.
Jiang Xunzhou thought for a moment and then said, "I have a party to attend this afternoon, so I might not be able to pick you up after get off work."
He was prepared to coax Yu You into a fight if he was unhappy, but Yu You didn't object at all and nodded obediently: "Okay, okay."
Jiang Xunzhou was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Yu You got out of the car and left without looking back.
Shi Sanlin was waiting outside in advance and came over happily to greet him: "Xiao Yu!"
Yu You greeted him warmly: "Brother Shi!"
As Shi Sanlin walked him inside, he asked with a smile, "How was it? Did you sleep well last night?"
Yu You curled up the corners of his lips: "Yeah, I slept well."
The passionate period officially ended last night, and when he woke up this morning, he felt the changes in himself.
The dependence on the Alpha partner quietly recedes like a wave, and the body no longer craves the comfort of pheromones and skin contact.
Even when she smelled the scent of vetiver coming from Jiang Xunzhou, she only felt it was fresh and pleasant, without the obsession she had in the past two days where she wanted to stick close to him.
Yu You walked with a light step, and felt that the whole world was brand new.
Shi Sanlin was worried that Yu You would be upset by the online discussions last night and would have trouble sleeping, affecting his performance during filming today. Seeing Yu You so energetic this morning, he was completely relieved: "That's good!"
Yu You arrived at the set to get his styling done. He felt people whispering around him and glancing at him from time to time.
Jiang Mingyan came over to comfort him: "Xiaoyu, don't listen to what those people say online. They just believe what they hear and don't understand you at all."
In addition to Fang You's original fanatical fans, many fans of the original novel also questioned the fact that Yu You, who has no works to his name, would play the third male role.
Jiang Mingyan was also the one being condemned, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for Yu You.
She even sent a message to Jiang Xunzhou, asking why he didn't let the public relations department control the comments for Xiaoyu. She wondered how upset Xiaoyu would be if she saw these things online. But she didn't expect Jiang Xunzhou to directly refuse.
The reason given is that covering the mouth and controlling comments at this time will only cause more dissatisfaction. It is better to wait until the entire drama is finished and broadcast, and then see the public's reaction.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingyan couldn't help but feel sympathy when she saw Yu You's expression. "It must be hard to be in a relationship with my brother, right? As long as something is work-related, my brother will only deal with it rationally and put work first."
Yu You was bewildered: "Ah? Putting work first, isn't that normal?"
Jiang Mingyan's eyes suddenly changed: "I can't tell, Xiaoyu, you are a workaholic just like my brother."
Yu You smiled shyly.
At noon, because of the role positioning, Yu You needed to lose weight in the later stage, so he did not receive the lunch box from the crew, but only received the fat-reducing meal brought by Shi Sanlin.
Yu You poked the boiled chicken breast with a plastic fork and felt that life was bleak.
He had just arrived and didn't have many friends. He was munching on broccoli while boredly texting Jiang Xunzhou on his phone: "What are you having for lunch?"
Not long after, Jiang Xunzhou sent back a photo.
The background of the business banquet was filled with extravagance and decadence, and the food on the table was luxurious and exquisite.
The Arctic scallop sushi has an attractive color, and the black truffle ham slices have a salty and delicious taste that you can almost imagine in your mouth. The artichokes with pesto sauce are served on a snow-white round plate, sprinkled with a little chopped parsley as a garnish, which looks very appetizing.
Yu You closed his eyes in pain. The broccoli in his mouth tasted like wax and he couldn't eat it anymore.
Why did he ask Jiang Xunzhou when there were so many people he could ask?
Jiang Xunzhou: [What did you eat?]
Yu You also replied with a photo.
Jiang Xunzhou: [The crew is running out of funds?]
Yu You: [No, I've been filming the early stages of my role these days. Later in the filming, I'll be transforming into someone new, and my image requires me to lose weight.]
I can still eat a few bites of tasteless chicken breast these days, but before the later scenes start shooting, in order to meet the standards, the portion may have to be reduced by half, and I may not even be able to eat chicken breast.
The more Yu You thought about it, the more desperate he felt. He anxiously asked Jiang Xunzhou, "Is Arctic scallop sushi delicious?"
Jiang Xunzhou: [General.]
Jiang Xunzhou: [If you want to eat, I'll take you to a restaurant after we finish filming. Their seafood is all airlifted in that day, so it's very fresh.]
Yu You: [Really?]
Jiang Xunzhou: [Really.]
Yu You's fighting spirit ignited: "Okay! After filming this movie, I'm going to eat a lot!"
The food he ate at noon was not enough to satisfy his hunger. Yu You's body was only that of a 19-year-old boy, and he digested it quickly. He was already starving when he was filming in the afternoon. When he got a meal for dinner that was almost the same as the one he had eaten at lunch, he felt so aggrieved that he almost cried.
Shi Sanlin comforted him: "It's all to fit the character's image. Just reduce your diet during this period. After half a month of filming, you can stop eating these."
Yu You responded dejectedly.
In his previous life, he had also lost weight specifically for filming, but perhaps because this body was young, it had never been as difficult as it is today.
After finishing today's scenes, Yu You got in the car and found that Jiang Xunzhou was also in the back seat.
Yu You was stunned: "Didn't you say you had work today and didn't have time to pick me up?"
Jiang Xunzhou's lips curled slightly: "It ended early over there, and since I had time, I came over on the way."
Jiang Xunzhou stretched out his hand, grasped Yu You's wrist, and with a gentle pull, pulled the young man into his arms.
Yu You fell onto Jiang Xunzhou's legs, subconsciously holding onto his shoulders to steady himself, stunned and unable to come to his senses.
The next moment, Jiang Xunzhou's palm reached in through the gap in the corner of the clothes, and his broad palm touched Yu You's thin abdomen and pressed lightly.
The moment their skin touched, scorching heat was transmitted, causing the boy's sensitive waist to tremble as if it couldn't bear it, and his nose also made a pitiful sound.
"I checked, I didn't eat anything secretly, I'm so hungry."
Jiang Xunzhou looked at him, his tone containing a slight smile: "Why is our little fish baby so pitiful?"
Yu You's ears burned red, and his eyes glared at him angrily: "You finished work early, are you here to laugh at me?"
Jiang Xunzhou nodded calmly: "Yes."
The business banquet was filled with celebrities, and everyone was drinking and chatting, wearing a perfect mask of fake smiles and flattery.
He suddenly felt bored and wanted to leave early to meet a hungry kitten.
As he expected, the kitten was so hungry that it was wilted. Even when it got angry, it lost its usual arrogance when scratching its claws. It looked pitiful no matter how you looked at it.
Yu You pushed him away and sat in the corner dejectedly.
Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "You won't take the initiative to rub against me today?"
Yesterday, I didn’t want to be separated for even a moment.
"Yesterday I was—"
Yu You wanted to explain, but couldn't explain it clearly, so he just said directly: "There's no one else here now, so Mr. Jiang and I don't need to put on a show."
Is she angry because of him and is starting to keep her distance from him?
Jiang Xunzhou just found it amusing and nodded: "Yes, yesterday he sat on me in the car for a long time and refused to get off, it was just a play. At night he sleepwalked into my room and snuggled into my arms, it was also a play."
Yu You's cheeks were hot. "I already said it was sleepwalking. Where I go is not something I can control. And I will sleep alone tonight. I promise I won't sleepwalk around."
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes became meaningful: "Really?"
"Of course."
Yu You confidently said, "I'll sleep in the guest room tonight. I absolutely won't come to your place. I don't have any work tomorrow morning, so I want to sleep in alone!"
His passionate period is completely over and he no longer needs an Alpha partner to be by his side.
Yu You clenched his fist silently.
He will prove it to Jiang Xunzhou tonight!
Jiang Xunzhou nodded calmly: "I understand."
He also kindly gave her a way out: "But I understand, sleepwalking is uncontrollable. If you miss me in the middle of the night... well, if you have a sleepwalking attack, come find me. I won't blame you."
Yu You said confidently: "Absolutely not."
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes held a smile, his face clearly showing disbelief. He replied slowly, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
After returning home, Yu You went to the guest bedroom, quickly washed up, got into bed smelling fragrant, and rolled around happily in the quilt.
Alone! Enjoying the big bed all to myself! The joy!
Just when I was feeling happy, there were two knocks on the door.
Yu You’s rosy face emerged from under the quilt.
Jiang Xunzhou was standing at the door wearing a black nightgown. The laces were tied very loosely, and the lapels on both sides were loose. His wheat-colored chest muscles were tight, and water droplets rolled down, which was very sexy.
Wow……
Yu You's gaze was slightly straightened, and he couldn't help but stick to it, swallowing gently, and he felt a little dizzy watching it.
Is Jiang Xunzhou showing off his muscles?
The man had a handsome face and a half-smile on his face: "Are you sure you want to sleep alone tonight and not come over?"
Yu You drove away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, came back to his senses, and nodded firmly: "I won't come."
I added in my heart.
——Not only tonight, he also didn't come before the passionate period.
Jiang Xunzhou said, "Okay."
Yu You lay down and said, "Hubby, please turn off the lights and close the door for me. Good night."
Jiang Xunzhou didn't get angry at being ordered around, he just smiled and said, "Good night."
The lamp holder clicked shut, the door gradually closed, and the light coming in from the corridor narrowed until the room was plunged into darkness.
Yu You folded his hands and placed them on his abdomen obediently, closing his eyes in peace.
Before he fell asleep, only one thought lingered in his mind.
Tomorrow morning I can prove to Jiang Xunzhou that he can sleep alone...
The early morning light falls on my face, gradually awakening my consciousness.
Yu You's long eyelashes moved slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
"woke up?"
A deep and hoarse male voice sounded, like an electric current passing through the eardrum.
Jiang Xunzhou half leaned on the bed, his arm supporting his chin, looking down at him, a slight curve at the corner of his lips: "Good morning, little fish baby."
Yu Youren was still not fully awake. He was stunned for a long time before he could see clearly. He was so scared that he sat up suddenly and looked around frantically.
——The decoration here is clearly that of a master bedroom.
"Why am I here?" Yu You was dumbfounded. "I clearly, I clearly..."
Jiang Xunzhou replied considerately, "You were clearly in the guest bedroom before you woke up, and you ended up here when you woke up, right?"
Yu You nodded eagerly.
Jiang Xunzhou said: "That means you are sleepwalking again."
Yu You was stunned: "I...sleepwalking again?"
"Yes." Jiang Xunzhou said slowly, "Otherwise, is there any other reason to explain why you appeared in my bed again?"
The boy sat on the bed in a daze, his hair disheveled and his face confused and at a loss.
But sleepwalking was an excuse he made up.
Could it be that this body really had a habit of sleepwalking before?
