Chapter 36: Besides that, there is also making love. You also feel...
If you want to play a couple, you can't just play a couple. You have to act out the quarrels in ordinary trivial matters, and also act out the muddled life after getting tired of each other. In short, you don't need to act affectionate when playing a couple.
Tang Ke put on a pair of loose black lace shorts under his pajamas and walked out of the bathroom. He had already made up his mind about how tonight would be.
When I returned to the master bedroom, Fu Yu was standing by the window making a phone call.
"If you think there's a problem, create a few more test data sets and run them instead of using my data to criticize me. There's nothing wrong with my input and output. If you think the output doesn't make sense, you should contact the requirements team instead of questioning my code. Have you read the requirements document? Also, from now on, you can just talk to Xiao Lei with questions like this. Okay, no problem. Bye."
He hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Tang Ke standing at attention in silence for a long time. His frown instantly relaxed, and he said, "What are you holding back? Let it out."
Tang Ke chuckled, "Ni'er's way of scolding people is really exciting."
"Isn't it that you country people don't play this trick?" Fu Yu walked around her and pulled out a large bag of bedding from the top of the wardrobe.
Tang Ke didn't care and got on the kang, crossed one leg, played with his hair with his fingers, and asked, "Did someone call you about work over the weekend? And it's so late."
"There are so many people working overtime at the company at this hour." Fu Yu spread out the quilt. "Where are you sleeping?"
"This is the best place." Tang Ke pointed to the area below his butt, near the window and the dressing table. Then again, "Do you often work overtime on weekends, too?"
"It depends."
"Oh..." Tang Ke thought thoughtfully.
Fu Yu paused in packing the bedding and looked up at her, "You're not trying to persuade me to go to the company to work overtime so that I can occupy the bed naturally, are you?"
Tang Ke covered his legs with the quilt, slowly looked away, and muttered, "I can't even think about it anymore."
Her bad intentions masked her nervousness to a certain extent, but her heart was still beating restlessly, so she had to talk about some pickled sauerkraut-like topics to make the chattering of her teeth seem less abrupt.
"I feel like your brother is quite serious about his work, even though he looks like he's a playful person. He was even the vice president of the student union. I suspect he'll do better than me in the future and have much more experience. I was wondering how he couldn't find a job with such a great resume. Among all the competitors who graduated from non-key universities, he looked like a good candidate. But as we talked, I realized he was a little overconfident. Because your starting point was so high, he assumed everyone's starting point had to be at least that high." Tang Ke sighed. "Ah, finding the path that suits you is the key. You can't rush into things. When I told him he had a bright future, his eyes lit up. To be honest, I'm more in favor of encouraging education than suppressing it."
Fu Yu smoothed the bedding, took out another pillow, closed the closet door, and put his phone on the bedside to charge. He did all this one by one. Finally, when she finished speaking, he lifted one knee onto the mattress and asked, "Can I lie down?"
Tang Ke was suddenly thrown back to the pre-liberation era. Picking at his fingernails, he stammered, "Go ahead, please. Feel free to do as you please."
The rustling of the cotton sheets was amplified in the silent room, and she could clearly feel the mattress sink slightly under the weight of another person. The distance between them was about the same as the distance between the driver and passenger seats in a car, but the feeling was completely different.
There is no need to be nervous, Tang Ke comforted himself, this person is Fu Yu, he is a virgin, he is very stupid, he doesn't know anything, you can eat him with confidence, bah, you can get along with him with confidence.
"Did you hear what I just said? You should encourage your brother more in the future, okay? He is different from you. He has accumulated a lot of experience and has achieved success over time." Tang Ke said, leaning against the headboard.
Fu Yu didn't lie down immediately after getting on the bed. Instead, he crossed his legs and faced the headboard, that is, facing her, and said in a flat tone: "How do you know I'm not a person who accumulates a lot of experience and then has a little experience?"
"You have thin skin and no hairstyle." Tang Ke raised her thumb for no reason, indicating that she was convinced.
"Can you please show the subtitles? I can't understand."
"Click the link below the video to download the express version of the app and make money reading novels!"
Fu Yu stretched out his index finger and poked her calf through the quilt. He poked her again and again...
Tang Ke curled his lips. Although this man was stupid, he was indeed very lethal.
"You're not going to get a knee-jerk reaction by poking like that."
Fu Yu's index finger stopped at the last stroke, pressing against her calf without moving, his eyebrows lowered, making it impossible to see his expression.
"You agreed too readily," he said.
"?" Tang Ke frowned, "Then get out of bed and get back in."
"It's too casual to promise my brother to stay here."
"Well, didn't I tell you that you've helped me a lot? It's only natural for me to help your family." Tang Ke patted his shoulder and said, "Go to sleep. This is over. Don't feel any psychological burden."
Fu Yu watched her flick the light out, leaving only a streak of moonlight streaming through the undrawn curtains. Tang Ke was about to get out of bed to draw the curtains when he grabbed her wrist.
"What?" Tang Ke turned around, unable to see his expression.
"I'll go, you lie down."
"oh."
Fu Yu put on his slippers, walked past the end of the bed and to the window. The room was completely shrouded in darkness, and words gradually surfaced.
"You seemed to accept sharing my bed so easily, so casually."
Tang Ke was stunned. "You don't want to?"
"No." Fu Yu leaned against the window. After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he stared at the person on the bed. "I was just wondering why you were willing to do that and why you were so calm."
"Is there any need to worry about this? We are husband and wife. Even if we are just a plastic couple, it doesn't matter if we sleep in the same bed." Tang Ke said.
"Other than that, is it okay?" Fu Yu's voice echoed in the darkness.
Tang Ke seemed to understand his emotions, but also seemed not to understand. If he felt that the decision she made tonight went beyond the planned distance and was too casual in handling the relationship with the allies, then when she asked him if he was unwilling, his answer should be yes, but he was not unwilling.
"What else is there?" she asked.
Fu Yu said nothing and walked towards the bed.
Tang Ke was a little night blind, and Fu Yu was wearing pure black silk pajamas, so it was difficult for her to recognize human figures in the dark.
She frantically stretched out her hands and groped, "Fu Yu, where are you?"
Fu Yu bent down and put his face into her palm, "Here."
Tang Ke's fingers were impudently playing with that wooden face, pinching her cheeks and nose. She said viciously, "Speak up! Speak up!"
"Okay, okay, my nose is real." Fu Yu grabbed her rebellious hand.
"Fu Yu, what's wrong with you?" Tang Ke was puzzled as to whether he was losing his temper.
Gradually, she seemed to see the crystal light flowing in his eyes, which disappeared immediately the next second, an illusion that was almost fleeting.
"Besides that, there's also sex. Do you think it's okay?" Fu Yu asked.
In fact, his hands were shaking, and the trajectory of his fall was crooked. He deliberately suppressed his turbulent breathing to appear rational and calm. God knows how much courage it took for him to say those two words.
Tang Ke understood completely, lying down comfortably, and taught by example: "If you're still dreaming of such naivety, I advise you to read more news to pollute your mind. My tolerance for marriage is indeed higher than yours, but not to the point of sacrificing chastity. It's better to have sex with someone you like. I'm not that casual, so please don't misunderstand me. Or maybe it's to continue the family line, but I don't have either of those needs. So, one thing for another, I'm not wrong to disappoint the idealistic view of marriage, but I made this decision based on my trust in you."
Fu Yu quietly climbed onto the bed from the other side and said to himself: "Why should I be worthy of your trust?"
"Oh - so you want to sneak attack me?" Tang Ke said in a relaxed tone.
Fu Yu lay flat on his back, looking up at the ceiling. "If I say yes, would you be shocked?"
"Is this true?" Tang Ke put away his joking attitude.
Fu Yu: "Whether it's true or not, you're scared."
Tang Ke was annoyed: "How childish! You just said I was casual, but you are even more casual, okay?"
"Well, I don't care." Fu Yu's depression gradually eased. "If I read more news, can our marriage continue like this?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, one of us will be infertile in a year." Tang Ke replied.
Fu Yu: "Can't we just say we're DINKs?"
Tang Ke: "When my parents heard this word, the first thing that came to their mind was the commercial for Metoclopramide."
Fu Yu: "That's very abstract."
There was a long silence, the only sound in the room being the air conditioner. When Tang Ke almost thought the person next to him had fallen asleep, he spoke again.
"Tang Ke."
"What?"
I like you.
"What?"
"nothing."
Tang Ke turned sideways, making a loud noise, and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, muttering, "If I can't sleep myself, I won't disturb others' sleep."
…
At two o'clock in the morning, everything was quiet. Fu Yu opened his eyes, supported himself on the mattress with his elbows, and slowly sat up.
He looked at the person sleeping beside him, her hair sticking to her lips and cheeks, the quilt tucked in tightly. It was easy to say, but his body was honestly not used to sleeping in the same bed with another person.
He leaned down, close to her face, and could clearly hear her breathing.
Inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale...
Where's your bottom line? Do you realize this is indulgence on my part? If it's bait, I've already taken the bait. I'm not as indifferent as you think. Can you please care about me even a tiny bit? Next time, I'll tell you, "I'm not trusting my gentlemanly ways, I'm trusting my feelings for you."
Um. No.
Don't disturb her sleep.
So Fu Yu just kissed her pillow and left the bedroom with the quilt.
