"Oh! It turns out that my uncle's son and daughter-in-law are coming back. This is really something to be happy about." Cheng Haoyu responded casually, with a forced smile on his face.
"Okay, everyone, let's sit down and eat!" Liu Yun said with a smile.
Cheng Haoyu sat down at the dining table with a humble attitude. He soon finished his bowl of rice and then slowly stood up. "Everyone, take your time eating. I'm a little tired today. I'm going to sleep first."
After he finished speaking, Cheng Haoyu turned and left.
Liu Yun glanced at his departing figure and placed a comforting hand on Xinyi's hand: "Child, don't be anxious, take your time."
Zheng Xinyi raised a wry smile and nodded slightly.
Cheng Haoyu lay quietly on the bed, listening to the excited voices outside because of the news that Huang Lei and Zhao Yuenan were coming back, and he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loneliness in his heart.
The moment Zheng Xinyi pushed the door open, Cheng Haoyu immediately closed his eyes, leaving Zheng Xinyi with the same cold back.
"Haoyu." Zheng Xinyi called softly, but Cheng Haoyu did not respond, giving Zheng Xinyi the illusion that he was asleep.
Zheng Xinyi turned off the light and lay down quietly beside him.
The room was pitch black, and Cheng Haoyu slowly opened his eyes. Every time they lay in bed together at night, Cheng Haoyu felt most helpless. He didn't know how to face the woman lying next to him. Although he knew that she was his wife and that they had done that kind of thing before, for Cheng Haoyu now, she couldn't reach out and touch him naturally. If he was a little bad enough, perhaps he wouldn't have this discomfort.
Zheng Xinyi knew that Cheng Haoyu had not fallen asleep at all, and she also knew that he was trying his best, but every time he gave her a cold back at night, Xinyi couldn't help feeling sad.
Since Haoyu is unwilling to take the initiative, maybe I can be a little more proactive. As long as I break this feeling of discomfort, everything will be fine.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xinyi raised her eyes and glanced at Cheng Haoyu, mustered up her courage, clenched her fist slightly, swallowed, and then slowly stretched her arm towards Cheng Haoyu's body.
The moment her arm landed on Cheng Haoyu's back, Cheng Haoyu was startled. His eyes widened like copper bells and his breathing became rapid.
Zheng Xinyi deliberately moved her body closer to him. When her hands completely hugged Cheng Haoyu, Cheng Haoyu could no longer suppress the tension and fear in his heart. He stood up suddenly and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Zheng Xinyi stared at him with wide eyes. Beads of sweat appeared on Cheng Haoyu's forehead. He swallowed lightly and said in a stuttering tone, "I...I'm going to the bathroom."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Haoyu fled at lightning speed.
Zheng Xinyi slowly stood up and looked at his fleeing back, feeling sad and uncomfortable.
Cheng Haoyu stood in the courtyard, gasping for breath and trying hard to breathe in the fresh air outside. Just a moment ago, he felt suffocated by lack of oxygen.
After sitting on the bed in a daze for a long time, Zheng Xinyi bit her lip helplessly, picked up her coat and walked out of the room.
"It's cold at night, you'd better put on some clothes!" As she spoke, Zheng Xinyi put clothes on him.
Cheng Haoyu, who was in a daze, was suddenly stunned. The moment he turned around and saw Zheng Xinyi, he became embarrassed.
