"I didn't!"
Bai Xiaoru buried her face in the blanket. If it weren't for the fact that Xuan Mingyu was still holding her tightly around the waist, she would have wanted to hide herself completely.
How can he always talk about such embarrassing things so directly and easily?
"Will you... be living here from now on?"
"Won't."
"oh......"
Sure enough, I was overthinking it. He'll probably go back to his own place tomorrow night.
“It’s too far from the city center, and it’s inconvenient for me to go to work. I bought a new house, so you can pack up some odds and ends and move there in the next couple of days.”
"A new house? You already have two houses, why do you want to buy another one? It's such a waste of money." Although this place is indeed far from the city center, the air quality is very good, and it's quiet at night without the noise of passing cars.
Having lived here for several months, Bai Xiaoruo had long since gotten used to it and had no desire to move away.
"Can I not move out?"
Give me a reason.
"I like it here."
"Reason rejected."
What the heck! He's being way too domineering, demanding a reason from her and then refusing to approve it.
"If I move there, can I come back here later?"
"Can."
"Will Uncle Bi and Aunt Qin move in as well?"
“They only live here and are responsible for cleaning the yard and rooms every day.” Xian Mingyu doesn’t like too many people serving him. Besides, Aunt Qin and Uncle Bi are from his grandparents’ side, and they might report on his and Bai Xiaoru’s usual relationship.
Although the two elderly people had taken care of Hsien Ming-yu since he was a child and treated him very well, his strong sense of defensiveness made him never willing to open his heart and completely trust someone without reservation.
"What about Uncle Chen?"
"Uncle Chen went back to the old house to be Grandma's driver."
Where is Xia?
"Stay here."
"That......"
"Are you going to ask all your questions at once?!" Xuan Mingyu was getting impatient. Why did this little girl talk so much? She kept asking one question at a time.
"sorry......"
"I didn't ask you to apologize!"
What else does she do all day besides saying sorry?
Bai Xiaoruo felt a little wronged; she hadn't meant to make Xian Mingyu angry.
"I only have one last question... Will I be living alone in this new house from now on?"
Originally, with Aunt Qin, Uncle Bi, Uncle Chen, and Xia Xia by her side, she wouldn't feel too lonely. But when Xuan Mingyu suddenly forbade them from moving to the new house with him, Bai Xiaoruo felt inexplicably sad. After all, she had spent several months with them and they really felt like family.
"I live there too."
he......
Bai Xiaoruo was somewhat surprised.
"Really? But if we live together, and we sleep together every night..."
"Stop thinking about all that nonsense and go to sleep. I'm not so desperate as to have any ideas about a little kid like you."
As if he already knew what Bai Xiaoru was going to say, Xuan Mingyu interrupted her directly.
"I'm not a little kid..." Although there is a significant age gap between them—he was eight when she was just born—she is now an adult, with all the necessary qualities, and is no longer a little kid.
"What if I grow up in the future?"
"Bai Xiaoruo, do you really want me to eat you up?"
"No... I'm going to sleep." She obediently closed her eyes and didn't say anything more.
These days, especially recently, Xian Mingyu seems to be paying special attention to her. He hadn't come back to see her for months, but he's been coming very frequently these past few days.
Although Bai Xiaoruo was still very scared about that kind of thing, she thought that he was, after all, her husband. If... he really wanted it, she shouldn't refuse him, right?
I'm just not mentally prepared yet, but if they see each other all the time and live together frequently, I might gradually get used to it.
***
The next morning, the two people in bed were woken up by the alarm clock set on Bai Xiaoruo's phone, which was placed on the bedside table.
Because she sleeps so comfortably, Bai Xiaoruo is always afraid of oversleeping, so she sets a wake-up call that will automatically wake her up when she goes to school from Monday to Friday.
Yesterday was my grandfather's birthday, so I took the day off. Today I have to go to school, so I can't stay in bed any longer.
Hsien Ming-yu held the person in his arms, maintaining the same position all night.
My eyes aren't even open yet; I haven't had enough sleep, and I don't want to get up at all.
Bai Xiaoruo yawned, sleepily fumbling for her phone on the cabinet, and turned off the alarm.
Ugh, so sleepy.
Even though I went to bed early last night, I still feel very tired.
It's true that it's always easier to sleep when the weather gets cooler.
In particular, these past two nights, I've been constantly embraced by a "big heater," which has been incredibly warm.
She picked up the black-rimmed glasses from the cabinet, put them on, gently removed the large hand that was wrapped around her waist, and slowly sat up from the bed after lifting the blanket.
I put on the slippers by the bed, got up, and walked towards the bathroom.
After washing up, Hsien Ming-yu was still fast asleep in bed, showing no signs of waking up at all.
Bai Xiaoruo didn't dare to wake him from his sweet dream. She tiptoed to open the wardrobe and took out her school uniform.
As she unbuttoned the first button of her pajamas, she suddenly remembered something and quickly pulled them back up.
