The wedding of the eldest son of the Yan family should have been a joyous occasion, but due to the husband's physical condition, there was no festive atmosphere in the old Yan family mansion.
But the servants were all quite surprised. The young master's new wife was sweet and lovely, with a gentle personality and the demeanor of a well-educated noble lady. She spent her days reading in the young master's room and was certainly not as arrogant and unreasonable as the rumors suggested.
More importantly, the lady did not seem to mind that her husband was in a vegetative state. She still stayed with him affectionately, even holding his hand while reading. If it weren't for the fact that the young master's eyes remained closed and his pale face remained unchanged, the servants would have even doubted that they were indeed a newlywed couple.
In the past few days, Gu Qingqiu seized every opportunity to be close to Yan Shengxiao, and except for eating and going to the toilet, she was inseparable from him, successfully raising her experience bar to 11%.
In fact, Gu Qingqiu stayed in the room not only to seize the opportunity to get close to Yan Shengxiao, but also to avoid running into Yan Yanan or Yan Anjian in the house, which would be very awkward. However, in the past few days of observation, Gu Qingqiu has also grasped some information.
Yan Yanan and Yan Anjian do not usually live in the Yan family's old house. They only return occasionally for large family events, such as the birthday banquet of Old Master Yan Mingzhong. However, their room has always been preserved, and servants go in to clean it every day.
However, Gu Qingqiu hadn't had a chance to rest for more than a few days when she received a message from her family saying that they would take her to visit the Yan Group when they had time.
That's really shameless.
Gu Qingqiu naturally pretended to be clueless, saying that she would give them a proper tour after Yan Shengxiao woke up, since she was also unfamiliar with the place.
The Gu family didn't know if Gu Qingqiu was truly stupid or pretending, but it was likely that Gu Qingqiu harbored resentment at being forced into marriage. Although the Gu family was eager to take advantage of her, they were too embarrassed to push Gu Qingqiu too hard, fearing that she might suddenly change her mind, so they had no choice but to give up for now.
Gu Qingqiu's feelings were also complicated. On one hand, she hoped that Yan Shengxiao would not wake up too early so that she could stick to the patches to her heart's content. On the other hand, she was worried that she would not be able to delay for long enough to protect Yan Shengxiao's things. She was afraid that if she was not careful, Yan Shengxiao's house would be raided.
The week-long honeymoon was coming to an end before she knew it, but Gu Qingqiu couldn't apply for an extension because her final exams were approaching.
Looking at the pile of textbooks on the table and the lessons she had missed, Gu Qingqiu felt an urge to bite her tongue and commit suicide. She could only seize the time to study hard, fearing that she would be gossiped about at school for failing a course and being "heartbroken and devastated."
Yan Shengxiao has been in a bad mood these past two days. His little bride has been busy with something these past two days, and she hasn't even held his hand anymore.
Although I could sense that the bride was still in the room, I didn't know what she was doing, and this feeling was too uncomfortable.
Women are indeed fickle creatures; how could they fall for someone else after only a few days?
Yan Shengxiao felt wronged, and for the first time in his life, he doubted his own personal charm.
Could it be because I've been lying down for too long and my figure has gone out of shape? Otherwise, why isn't the young bride infatuated with me anymore?
Yan Shengxiao failed to mobilize his body for the thousand and first time, and fell into a depressed mood.
Fortunately, although the young bride was busy with something, she still took her to take a bath on time, and she still held her hand to sleep at night as usual.
Yan Shengxiao felt that he was in love, otherwise why would he be so anxious and insecure?
No! How could he fall in love so easily? And it's one-sided, with... a complete stranger, a bride.
Yan Shengxiao tried hard to control his emotions and brainwash himself to ignore the little bride's approach. Just when he thought he was finally making some progress, his little bride disappeared.
Yes, Yan Shengxiao has already figured out the bride's daily routine in the past few days.
His young bride would stretch every morning after waking up, then go to the bathroom to wash up, and then go downstairs to eat.
About half an hour later, his little bride will return to the room, affectionately take his hand, and then the sound of turning pages or fingers touching the screen will be heard beside her.
But today... a long time has passed, and his little bride still hasn't returned to the room.
Perhaps this morning was too lavish? Yan Shengxiao tried to comfort himself.
But... a long time passed, and by lunchtime, the bride still hadn't returned.
Then... it was dinner time again, and the bride still hadn't returned.
Yan Shengxiao was extremely anxious. He desperately wanted to open his eyes and grab the little bride himself, but his body was completely out of his control.
He felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Had his little bride... run away?
The bride didn't even take a shower today, which made Yan Shengxiao feel very wronged. He couldn't help but recall the strangeness of the morning. The bride seemed to have gotten up earlier than usual today, spent more time in the bathroom, and seemed to have rummaged around in the dressing room for a while.
Could it be... she's putting on makeup and picking out clothes? Is she getting ready for a date?
Yan Shengxiao felt a surge of anger rising within him, stuck in his chest, ready to explode at any moment.
It wasn't until around eight or nine o'clock in the evening that Yan Shengxiao heard the sound of the young bride opening the bedroom door.
Yan Shengxiao almost laughed in anger. They'd only just gotten married and he dared to come home so late? Would he be spending the night out soon? Was he trying to get out of control?
Gu Qingqiu had no idea what Yan Shengxiao was thinking. She just felt exhausted. She hadn't felt like she was working a regular 9-to-5 job in a long time.
She's been sleeping in until she naturally wakes up lately, but today she got up early because she was worried about traffic during the exam. She not only had to memorize her notes but also had to think about her outfit and makeup.
I was already exhausted from one exam, but after lunch I had to take two more exams in the afternoon. After finally finishing the exams, I still had to go to the counselor's office to submit the paper materials I had applied for earlier.
This whole ordeal resulted in me walking over 10,000 steps a day. By the time I got home it was almost nine o'clock. I listlessly dragged my tired body to wash up.
After leaving the bathroom, Gu Qingqiu intended to go straight to bed to rest, but when she turned off the bedside table light, she accidentally noticed that Yan Shengxiao had a pimple on his forehead.
Wait a minute... Yan, Sheng, and Xiao have pimples???
Gu Qingqiu stared in shock as she moved closer to Yan Shengxiao's face, and there really was a red and plump pimple.
Can a person in a vegetative state also get heat rash? Is it because there's too much nutrient solution and an overabundance of nutrients? Gu Qingqiu felt somewhat dazed.
Yan Shengxiao had been sulking all day. He finally waited until his bride got into bed. Just as he was waiting for her to take his hand, he suddenly felt her breath close to his cheek.
Could it be... that the little bride is going to kiss him? Yan Shengxiao was a little nervous, feeling his heart beating faster.
Then... Yan Shengxiao felt a cold finger touch his forehead.
It feels a bit painful and itchy, could this be...?
Yan Shengxiao thought in disbelief: I actually got pimples?
