Chapter 37 37 is really cool
That night, Tang Ke slept soundly, feeling as if she was surrounded by enemies and was afraid of being attacked by enemies everywhere. She was both self-disciplined and polite, fearing that her posture would be wrong and cause extra physical contact. She was even worried in her dreams. What if she accidentally put her leg on the person next to her and killed him? How would she explain herself if she was heartbroken?
Although last night's conversation did not develop into the topic of "whether sleeping in the same bed with a plastic couple is as harmful as putting them in a microwave oven", Tang Ke could somewhat understand Fu Yu's views on plastics from his hesitation.
They had never openly discussed matters of love, so when she heard the word "sex" clearly from Fu Yu's mouth, her mind fluttered, and she instinctively replied with a conciliatory attitude. Before she actually fell asleep, she closed her eyes and thought for a long time. He might be dissatisfied with this excessive playfulness, but he didn't point it out directly out of consideration for her feelings. Fu Yu, usually calm and composed, felt a strange sense of oppression when he asked her if she was also okay with matters of love.
She didn't know if her answer hurt him, but that was indeed her true thought. Although couples like them didn't need to distinguish between what they should and shouldn't do, for certain things, such as sleeping in the same bed in an emergency, they had to be prepared for "Well, that's expected, so let's just treat it as playing house and solve it happily without following the routine!"
Her casualness and his seriousness caused a little friction, but it didn't matter. He later understood her casualness and even surpassed her. She also understood his seriousness and wrapped herself up tightly, making sure not to offend him in the slightest.
Tang Ke woke early and reached out to touch the empty bed on her left side. The sheets were icy cold from the air conditioning. She got out of bed and sat at the dresser to comb her hair. She yawned, her jaw jerking, and then leisurely went to the bathroom to wash up.
The living room was bathed in the overwhelming sunlight from the balcony. Fu Yu, seated on the sofa, buried his face in the quilt. Unable to match Hou Yi's abilities, he could only obediently ignore what was happening. Tang Ke tiptoed over to the slumbering creature, squatted down, and listened carefully.
I can't hear anything.
So she poked his forehead - maybe it was his forehead, she had no idea which part of his body was inside the blind box. According to the proportion, she should have poked his forehead, not his belly button or something.
"Um......"
The person under the quilt made a short but very sticky response.
Fu Yu pulled off the quilt. The glare made it hard for him to open his eyes, and he couldn't help but frown and avoid it. His messy hair flew everywhere, revealing his smooth forehead.
Tang Ke was stunned. Fu Yu was really handsome without glasses, with a high and straight nose and flawless fair skin. His troublesome bangs were thrown back, which further magnified his superior facial features and his skin without a single pore.
How can someone have such good skin?
So, the best moisturizer is actually your mother's amniotic fluid, right? You lucky person who was born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
Fu Yu struggled to open his eyes, saw that it was Tang Ke, then closed his eyes again and asked, "What time is it?"
"A little after eight."
He raised his arm to cover the upper half of his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why are you up so early?"
Tang Ke curiously observed his struggle between waking and sleeping, and said, "See if my brother is awake."
Fu Yu paused for a second, then silently turned over with his back to her, his knees curled up, looking like he was ready to continue sleeping.
"He won't wake up at this time. He will sleep until at least eleven."
"Oh." Tang Ke poked him again, "Go to your room and sleep. I'll go out and buy breakfast."
"No need, I'll get up after taking a nap." Fu Yu said.
"Hey, is the sofa comfortable to sleep on? It's better to lie down inside than here! And what if your brother comes out? Go, go quickly!" Tang Ke urged, pulling his quilt manually.
Fu Yu would rather she pulled his hair.
He reluctantly carried his pillow and quilt into the bedroom. On the bed, she had already folded her own bedding neatly, and the area where he had slept last night was also neatly made. He lay down again, surrounded by her scent.
Fu Yu's nap didn't last long. When Tang Ke came back with a few bags of breakfast, he was brushing his teeth and washing his face.
"I bought you tofu pudding and soup dumplings. I didn't know what my brother likes to eat, so I bought the same as you." Tang Ke had already eaten the egg pancake and drank soy milk, and said to Fu Yu who came late.
Fu Yu pulled out a chair and sat down. "Why is there still a place for him?"
"Otherwise, since he is here, he must have a share." Tang Ke said nonchalantly, drinking soy milk and swiping his phone.
"So thoughtful." Fu Yu opened the plastic lid, scooped a spoonful of tofu pudding into his mouth. It was the sweet kind he loved.
Hearing the seemingly compliment, Tang Ke raised his head. "It's not exactly considerate, but if you put yourself in their shoes, no one wants to be ignored, right? It's just like having someone to answer your conversation or having a pair of chopsticks to eat with. It's just basic etiquette."
Fu Yu nodded and said nothing more.
"Hey, how many days of holiday do you have for National Day?" Tang Ke put down his phone and asked.
Fu Yu felt sad. The overtime culture in his company was so terrible that it made her ask such a question that ignored national regulations.
"Seven days, not a day less," he replied.
"Great, do you want to go to XX Comic Convention? Let's go together." Tang Ke clenched his fist in anticipation.
She just saw online that the comic convention she had always wanted to go to but could never get a ticket for would soon be selling tickets. With Fu Yu as her right-hand man this year, she had hope of getting a ticket!
Fu Yu agreed naturally: "Okay, which day are you going?"
"Numbers 6 and 7 are both fine. We'll see if we can get one."
"Yes." Fu Yu clicked on the official notification page. "It takes two hours to get to Hangzhou by train. Should I go and come back the same day, or stay there overnight?"
Tang Ke pondered. The comic exhibition was in Hangzhou. Members could enter at 8:00 AM, regulars at 9:00 AM, and the exhibition closed at 6:00 PM. If she went and left the same day, plus the time it would take to get her hair and makeup done, there would be very little of the fan art she wanted left.
After thinking about it, she made the final decision: "Stay one night in advance!"
"Hmm." Fu Yu looked at the hotel calmly, as if the tickets were already there and he was sure to get them. "Two rooms or one?"
Tang Ke's eyelids twitched. "It feels so strange, buddy. It's like it wasn't you who slept next to me last night."
Fu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Then I'll book a king-size bed room."
"Hello."
"Standard room." Fu Yu changed his tone, a hint of teasing leaking out of the corner of his mouth, "What are you afraid of?"
Tang Ke was both angry and amused: "Am I the one who's scared? Weren't you the one who accused me so confidently last night and looked even more scared?"
This isn't what I'm afraid of, Fu Yu thought.
I’m afraid that you won’t like me but will accept this, and then I won’t be anything special.
"It seems to be me." He said ambiguously.
"You."
"Well it's me."
The two chatted about their plans for the exhibition. When Fu Zhou got up, they had already moved from the kitchen to the living room. When he came out, they greeted him, "Breakfast is in the steamer. Heat it up on low heat and you'll be ready."
He woke up at a moderately fast pace, and after a quick bite, he was ready for lunch. Tang Ke had a meeting with a colleague, so he didn't eat at home. He simply packed up and left. Only when they were alone in the house did Fu Zhou finally relax. Before leaving, he even took advantage of his brother's PS5.
"You are an aspiring young man with flying ideals in front of your sister-in-law, but a beggar who eats, drinks, lives and plays for free in front of me. Sometimes I really wish I were not your brother." Fu Yu said.
Fu Zhou ignored it, "That's not very kind. Am I of no use to you? If you don't know how to dress for your next date with your sister-in-law, you can always come to me."
Fu Yu refused coldly: "No, it's useless."
"Useless?" Fu Zhou's gaze shifted from the screen to his face. "Sister-in-law said you're not good-looking?"
"Anyway, I didn't say it looked good."
"That's because you're usually too unsophisticated."
"Put the controller down."
Fu Zhou held it tighter. "You're so unfashionable, don't you dare say anything else in your wardrobe besides solid-colored short-sleeved shirts? You never take off your glasses, and your hairstyle never changes. Even if you were Daniel Wu's wife, you'd get tired of it."
Fu Yu thought for a moment and said, "She is not such a superficial person."
Fu Zhou's eyes looked strange, then returned to normal: "She is not always someone else. Sister-in-law looked so fresh and beautiful even after dressing up casually just now. If you go out with her, you will look like a waiter, and others will think you are not worthy of her."
His personal experience tells him that in a relationship, not only material and personality compatibility is required, but appearance is also essential. Although everyone always says this is the least important, the fact is that couples who look well-matched receive more blessings.
"So you think I'm not worthy of her?" Fu Yu was about to turn off the power of the host.
Fu Zhouzhi shook his head: "Brother, you are also very handsome, really, I mean, you can be even more handsome."
"Tell me more about it." Fu Yu crossed his arms and listened attentively.
"You can take off your glasses and comb your hair to show a little forehead. I'll share a few tutorials with you. Um... then spray some perfume to create a little atmosphere or something, that's about it. Oh, by the way, don't wear tight jeans and plaid shirts, they're too deadly." Fu Zhou shared his experience of spreading his peacock tail.
Fu Yu silently noted, "She doesn't like perfume."
"Perfume is optional, as long as you feel comfortable hugging each other." Fu Zhou said in a relaxed tone.
"?" Fu Yu interrupted him as he manipulated the game controller and asked sternly, "Have you ever had sex with a girl?"
"Ah?" Fu Zhou was stunned. He didn't know why his elder brother suddenly questioned him like a patriarch. "Ah... yes, it's normal..."
"when?"
It's unbelievable that the old man would ask him such a private question. Someone who doesn't even tell dirty jokes is actually curious about his sexual experience.
Realizing that Fu Zhou's eyes were too incredible, Fu Yu came back to his senses, let go of his hand, and apologized: "It's okay, I just want to remind you not to mess around."
Fu Zhou couldn't help but curse, "Fuck, you don't think I'm the kind of scumbag who plays around casually, do you? First of all, I'm upright and have never been in love without sincerity. Secondly, this is a matter of mutual consent, and I am very careful about the limits. Finally, why is it that when talking about premarital sex, your first reaction is that it must be bad? Isn't this just being in love and unable to extricate yourself? Unable to extricate yourself, brother, don't you understand? You can't not understand!"
"Okay, shut up."

The author has something to say: Fu Yu: There is no point in saying more, just drag him away and behead him, he is unclean.

=v=Good luck to everyone. This update in the middle of the night may surprise you.
Last week I had gastritis, enteritis, fever and respiratory infection, which almost burned out all my energy, so there were few updates. I apologize to everyone.
I put down my other work and went home to recuperate for half a month. I'm slowly getting better. The bad news is that I have to take very bitter medicine every day. The good news is that during this half month of recuperation, I have time to concentrate on writing! Let's see how many consecutive days I can update daily! (Setting a shaky flag)
