Chapter 9: Not Used to Sharing a Bed

My cousin's wife was passing by to get water. As someone who had been there before, she knew the reason for the first frost and said with a smile, "Children are born to play. They are so cute when they are little, but they won't be so fun in a few years."

Chu Shuang has three cousins. Her second aunt has only one son, Shen Jinyan, and her eldest aunt has two. The eldest cousin is married and has children, while the second cousin graduated from military school and became a pilot, and has been away from home for many years.

"Yuanyuan is sleepy," the eldest cousin hugged his son protectively, "Say goodnight to auntie, and play with her tomorrow."

The child was very good-tempered. He yawned and said to Chu Shuang in a baby voice, "Good night, aunt. See you tomorrow-"

Chu Shuang's heart melted, "Good night, baby."

It's getting late, and I have to go upstairs no matter how late. When I passed by my grandfather's study, I ran into Sheng Ting who had just come out. Did my grandfather want to talk to him?

She returned to Chushuang's room and saw Sheng Ting was dressed in formal clothes and must not have showered. She said, "Why don't you shower first?"

"good."

While he was taking a shower, Chu Shuang quickly tidied up the bedroom, which she had already tidied in the afternoon. She sat on the sofa and looked at her phone only when she was satisfied with everything.

The bathroom door opened with a click, and the man came out. Chu Shuang looked up and saw his black hair drooping slightly due to being wet. His facial features were cold, and he was even more aggressive in private.

Without looking any further, she picked up her clothes and went into the bathroom.

When he came out again, Sheng Ting was drinking milk at the low table. His hand holding the cup was so beautiful that Chu Shuang took a quick glance at him.

Hearing the sound, the man glanced sideways and said, "Here's the milk that was just delivered. Have some."

There is another cup on the table.

Chushuang paused slightly, put down the towel and walked over, picked up the cup, it was warm.

After drinking the milk, she raised her eyes inadvertently and found that the man's dark eyes were looking at her. She didn't know how long he had been looking at her.

Sheng Ting stood up with a normal expression, "Go to sleep."

The double-length pajamas gave Chu Shuang a sense of security. Sheng Ting turned off the light only after he saw her get into bed and cover herself with the quilt.

This was the first time that Hatsushimo slept in the same bed with him while she was conscious. It was also the first time in her life that she slept next to a man. Her nostrils were filled with the scent of men, and she deliberately lowered her breathing.

Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, the person next to him was sleeping peacefully without any other movement, Chushuang gradually calmed down and fell asleep slowly.

Probably because it was her first time to sleep with a man, she woke up very early the next day. When she opened her eyes and saw the handsome face enlarged in front of her, Chu Shuang almost cried out softly.

She held her breath and covered her mouth quietly before turning over slightly. She stared at the ceiling for a while and then silently glanced sideways at the man's high nose bridge and thick eyelashes.

As an artist, she really wants to look at this face carefully and depict it.

The man's eyelashes trembled slightly in her sight, showing signs of waking up, so Chu Shuang quickly closed her eyes.

There was a rustling sound beside him and Sheng Ting woke up.

The woman had long and thin eyebrows, thin and delicate lips, and the quilt only covered her to her waist. Sheng Ting got up from the bed, pulled the quilt for her before going into the bathroom.

The National Day holiday will end tomorrow, so after lunch we will return. It will be evening when we arrive at Qingyu Garden.

After dinner, Chushuang took the dog for a walk in the garden. She found that the garden was as big as a maze, with lush vegetation and crisscrossing paths. It was easy to get lost when going deep into the garden for the first time.

While taking a walk, she found that several plots of land were too empty. Chu Shuang, who grew up in a vegetable garden with her grandfather, suddenly wanted to clear them and build a vegetable garden.

Let's discuss it with Sheng Ting after we get to know him better.

Hatsushimo was groping slowly in the maze-like garden, thinking about something in her mind. In the end, it was the smart little golden retriever who brought her out.

I went upstairs to the master bedroom, but there was no one inside. When I went out, I met Aunt Yuan, who said my husband was in the study.

Hatsushimo didn't intend to disturb others' work, so she took a shower, took out her tablet and began to think about the character style of the new comic.

After drawing the first layout, Sheng Ting pushed open the door and came in. He saw the person sitting on the sofa, and glanced at his watch. It was 11 o'clock.

"Not asleep yet?"

Hatsushimo put down the pen and said, "Yeah."

The man calmly took off his coat and was about to take off his watch to take a shower when a clear voice was heard from behind him.

"I want to sleep on my side."

Sheng Ting turned and looked at her, his dark eyes calm.

Chu Shuang said slowly and calmly: "I just checked, and the bedding for side sleepers is complete."

Sheng Ting took off his watch and asked, "What's the reason?"

"I'm not used to sharing a bed."

Hatsushimo spoke frankly, but was unsure of the man's attitude.

"what ever."

Sheng Ting went into the bathroom after leaving a word. Chu Shuang looked at the bathroom door, her slightly open lips slowly closed, and the words she wanted to say but couldn't were never spoken.

Actually, she wanted to give her some time to adapt before moving back.

That’s it.

——

After returning to work after the holiday, the two of them returned to their regular work and rest schedule, leaving home early and returning late, and almost only seeing each other every day, living under the same roof.

Chushuang felt that the days of peace and tranquility were not bad, and that marriage gave her a lot of freedom.

After adding each other on WeChat, they had not exchanged many words. The last time they contacted was a week ago. Chu Shuang asked Sheng Ting what time he would be home and whether he should wait for him for dinner. He replied briefly: "You eat first, no need to wait for me."

So Hatsushimo didn't wait for him to eat. After get off work, she went back to her room after dinner. The two of them had unsynchronized lifestyles and sometimes they didn't see each other for two days.

After a month of getting along, Chu Shuang roughly understood Sheng Ting's work and rest schedule and temper. He was a person who took his work very seriously. There was no difference between his private and public behavior. He was both cold and serious. He often went to the study when he got home.

One day, Chu Shuang worked overtime until nine o'clock in the evening. She felt it was too late and Qingyu Garden was too far away, so she went directly to the apartment that Shen Jinyan bought for her.

I sent a message to Sheng Ting with a brief explanation, and they agreed quickly.

As a result, the next day, when Chushuang got off work, she didn't want to rush home during the evening rush hour, so she went to an apartment close to the company as she knew the route well.

Qingyu Garden is too far away, and it takes her 40 to 50 minutes to get there every time she gets off work. For workers who have worked hard all day, time after get off work is golden, and wasting time after get off work will really affect the happiness of life.

There was nothing to do in Qingyu Garden anyway, so she might as well go back to the nearby apartment.

It wasn't intentional, the final outcome of the matter was: moving out of the master bedroom and not returning to Qingyu Garden.

Sheng Ting didn't say much. He was not the kind of person who had the leisure to meddle in other people's business. No, with his aloofness and focus on work, he might not even know that Chu Shuang hadn't been home for a few days.

This was indeed the case. When Sheng Ting heard Aunt Yuan say that the little golden retriever had lost his appetite because he hadn't seen his owner for the past two days, he learned that Chu Shuang had not returned to Qingyu Garden for some time.

Aunt Yuan also saw from his slightly paused expression that he was unaware of the matter. She initially thought that the couple kept in touch with each other and knew each other's situation. If she knew that this was the case, she would have told her husband the next day when Chu Shuang did not come back, which would have caused a big misunderstanding.
