Chapter 8: Sleep for another ten minutes
Shen Shi, who was lying on the bed next to him, sat up with graceful movements. Only in the dim light of the lamp could Pei Heng see Shen Shi leaning against the headboard.
Pei Heng said nothing, but pulled the thin blanket up to cover half of his face.
Shen Shi was silent for a few seconds, and then Pei Heng felt the mattress beside him sink slightly.
Shen Shi held his quilt and lay down next to him carefully, with a tiny distance between them.
"Just coax her like this, okay?"
Shen Shi's voice was gentle, like a breeze blowing through the window screen on a summer night.
Pei Heng was already feeling a little tired, but he didn't say anything bad, he just moved to the side.
Chen Shi did not massage the acupoints like last time. Instead, he placed his warm palms gently on the back of Pei Heng's neck through the thin pajamas.
With a reassuring warmth.
Chen Shi's hands were soft and light, and he stroked slowly and gently along the curve of the back of the neck.
It just relieved Pei Heng's tense nerves.
Pei Heng's body immediately relaxed honestly, and his heavy eyelids closed little by little.
Very strange.
Pei Heng thought in a daze and began to suspect that the sleeping pills prescribed by the psychiatrist were fake.
After eating it, I either feel drowsy or it has no effect. How can it be better than Shen Shi's simple touch?
Just as his consciousness was about to sink into the edge of sleep, he felt Shen Shi's breath getting closer, "Did you always have trouble sleeping before?"
Pei Heng was too sleepy to think, and only made a lazy sound from his nose as a response.
Chaotic fragments of memory flashed through his mind. It seemed that he had this problem since he was very young.
Pei Heng's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he instinctively resisted going deeper into his memories.
Suddenly, a warmer breath enveloped me.
Pei Heng subconsciously lifted his heavy eyelids a little, his vision hazy, he only saw Shen Shi approaching.
Meeting Pei Heng's tired and exhausted eyes, Shen Shi's breathing seemed to be disordered.
Chen Shi's nose rubbed against Pei Heng's gently, his voice low and hoarse, filled with an inextricable desire.
"Heng... can you give me a kiss, just once..."
Pei Heng opened his eyes silently and looked at Shen Shi in the dim light.
He raised his hand and pressed it weakly against Shen Shi's cheek, which was leaning too close. "Not good."
Pei Heng thought that Shen Shi must not have been a dignified princess consort in her previous life, but rather a vixen.
Specifically here to defeat him.
Pei Heng simply pulled the quilt over Shen Shi's head, then buried his face in the pillow and said, "Go to sleep."
Blinded by the quilt, Chen Shi silently curled the corners of his lips.
He lay quietly, listening to Pei Heng's breathing gradually become even and steady.
After waiting for a while, I confirmed that Pei Heng was asleep.
Shen Shicai carefully pulled down the quilt covering his head, turned sideways, and stared at Pei Heng's peaceful sleeping face in the dim light coming in from the window.
He held his breath and gave Pei Heng a feather-light kiss on the corner of his slightly pursed lips.
one time.
Again.
With infinite attachment and cherishment.
Finally, Shen Shi contentedly rested his forehead against Pei Heng's warm neck, raised the corners of his mouth in pleasure, and then closed his eyes contentedly and fell asleep.
A few seconds later.
Pei Heng, who should have been fast asleep, had his eyelashes trembling and pursed his lips.
—
This time, Pei Heng slept more soundly than ever before.
It was as if he wanted to make up for all the sleep he had missed in the past at once.
So much so that when the morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains, he was still deeply immersed in a soft dream and had no energy to get up.
Chen Shi had already woken up. In the morning light, he sat quietly beside Pei Heng's bed with his phone, replying to messages from time to time.
Boom boom boom.
Zhou Jingming knocked on the door loudly, accompanied by his loud voice.
“Pei Hengheng, Shen Shi, it’s eight o’clock this morning, are you awake?”
Pei Heng's handsome brows immediately frowned, he snorted, and shrank back into the quilt impatiently like a cat whose sweet dream was disturbed.
Seeing this, Shen Shi lowered his head and covered his ears, while raising his voice to respond to the outside of the door, "I know, you go first."
"Oh, okay, then we'll go first. I'll bring you some delicious shengjianbao from the restaurant at the East Street entrance!"
The voices of Zhou Jing and Chen Yu gradually faded away.
Shen Shi then let go of his hand, looked down at Pei Heng who still had no intention of opening his eyes, and went to wash up first.
He waited until he had washed up and changed into a clean shirt before turning on the headlights.
"Heng, it's time to get up."
Pei Heng didn't even raise his eyelids, "...sleep for another ten minutes."
Shen Shi glanced at his watch. If he left in ten minutes, he would definitely not be able to catch up with 8am.
Looking at Pei Heng's appearance of lying in bed, he thought of the cold winter in his previous life when the prince always acted like this when he didn't want to go to court. In the end, he either claimed to be sick or unwell. Finally, the emperor saw through his trick and sent half of the imperial hospital to see him. The prince was so angry that he spread the news that the emperor had a hidden illness.
Thinking of the past and looking at the young prince now, Shen Shi's heart softened.
He leaned down slightly, breathing closer.
As if sensing something, Pei Heng finally opened his eyes and glared at Shen Shi, “Shen Shi, I got up in a bad mood.”
Shen Shi paused, but was not scared away. Instead, a deeper smile appeared in his eyes.
He stretched out his fingers, and with the warmth of his fingertips, he gently smoothed Pei Heng's frown. "I know. You can continue to sleep when you come back at noon."
Maybe it's because Shen Shi's hair-smoothing skills are really good.
Pei Heng's irritability and inexplicable anger dissipated like a popped balloon.
Pei Heng: “…”
He was a little dazed and blinked. The remaining sleepiness was still there, but the urge to lose his temper was really gone.
So he stared at Shen Shi for two seconds and slowly sat up.
After washing up, Pei Heng stood in front of the bright washbasin and looked at Shen Shi who was adjusting his collar next to him.
Even in the height of summer, the elegant and dignified Crown Princess was meticulously dressed, with her shirt buttons buttoned to the top, regaining her appearance of a cool and elegant flower.
Pei Heng suddenly had an idea to play a prank.
He stretched out his hand, reached out unexpectedly, and rubbed Shen Shi's soft black hair hard twice.
In an instant, Shen Shi's carefully groomed hairstyle became messy, adding a bit of youthfulness and... cuteness.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, looking at his messed hair in the mirror.
Two young faces were reflected in the mirror, one with the pride of a successful prank, the other with a smile full of indulgence.
