Chapter 142 Pinocchio (6) Sleeping with someone
After a round of communication, He Yuan became indifferent again.
His coldness wasn't ignoring people, but rather a distant communication, as if his actions just now were merely an accidental transgression.
Reason told Tirnan that the other woman was already in her thirties and had been married three times; it was impossible for her to be completely ignorant about relationships.
Both Mikhail and he expressed their liking in an almost straightforward manner.
He Yuan couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
He could have simply stated his thoughts and expressed his interest in them, but he chose not to.
It's like sitting behind a glass window, watching Tirnan and Mikhail's performance from the perspective of an outsider.
Was it always like this? Tirnan couldn't help but wonder.
Was Akivili treated the same way before?
It's not hard to see from Pam's words that most of the time, it was Akivili who revolved around Heyuan, and most of the intimate gestures were initiated by Akivili to see if Heyuan would accept them.
He always has the power to deny and refuse.
This perspective and position is great, but for the individual being looked down upon... it's not so pleasant.
Trying to guess what he's thinking is the hardest thing.
As a sea patrol ranger, Tiernan always has clear goals and tasks to accomplish, and his drive to act is at its peak.
But with He Yuan, he experienced helplessness for the first time, unable to use his own methods.
Their relationship didn't progress any further until the end of dinner.
Tiernan knew this was only the first day; it couldn't be that fast.
But after learning about the young man's affectionate side, how could one accept his coldness?
"Hmm...so the train will depart in three days, right?"
Out of the corner of his eye, Tirnan saw Heyuan talking to Pam.
“Yes, Pam!” Pam replied.
He Yuan seemed to be thinking, "Then can I go back to Luofu tonight and sleep for the night, and then take the train back tomorrow morning?"
Pam looked a little reluctant, but still said, "Okay, Pam..."
He tugged at He Yuan's sleeve reluctantly, "You must come back tomorrow!"
Don't let it happen again like last time, when you suddenly disappear one day!
To be fair, this was the first time He Yuan had met Pam, and she had only spent a few hours with the train conductor, so they didn't have much deep affection for each other.
But—but the train conductor is so cute!
The last time we had such adorable creations was with Diting and our two kittens.
So He Yuan changed her mind without any principles, "If Pam has prepared a room for me, I'll stay here tonight."
"I need a single person."
Pam replied without hesitation, "Your room has always been cleaned, Pam!"
It may sound unbelievable, but when Akivili was around, Tsurugi and Akivili each had their own rooms. However, when they slept together at night, Tsurugi would choose Tsurugi's room.
Akivili's rooms are mostly empty.
"It's yours alone!"
Pam almost jumped up.
He Yuan squatted down and spoke to him, "Can I bring someone up to keep me company? These past few years, if no one is with me, I might have trouble sleeping at night."
Pam looked at the young man nervously, "What...what happened, Pam! Are you alright, Pam?!"
He Yuan shook her head. "It's all in the past. I'm doing very well now, except for some sleep problems."
"What will happen after the train departs?" Tirnan asked after listening for a while. "What will happen to your sleep after the train departs?"
Pam chimed in, "Yeah, what are we going to do then? We can't just watch you lose sleep, can we?"
Faced with their anxious and concerned gazes, He Yuan simply smiled and said, "Things will work themselves out. Who knows, I might actually adapt to train life and cure this problem?"
Tirnan wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate, so he could only suppress his thoughts.
Mikhail, who had only vaguely heard a few words, asked directly, "What do I need to do to sleep with you? Or is it just sleeping together?"
He Yuan seemed surprised by his bluntness, paused for a moment, and then said, "I just need someone to be with me, I don't need to do anything extra."
"I won't cause any trouble for anyone," the young man added, trying to cover up his misunderstanding.
Mikhail immediately said, "Then can I go with you?"
"ah--?"
The two people and the handkerchief both uttered sounds of doubt.
Mikhail spread his hands. "It's just sharing a bed, nothing else. As long as it's someone of the same sex, it's fine, right?"
You might hesitate a bit between people of the opposite sex, and it might require some trust, but there aren't as many problems between people of the same sex.
Mikhail had a vague feeling that things weren't so simple, but he quickly convinced himself otherwise.
He felt he was helping his "vulnerable and pitiful" new companion, helping a good-looking young man who shared common interests with him. He was helping, and doing it willingly.
So he said it.
He Yuan had never seen anyone like this before.
Despite knowing nothing and being clueless, they always manage to do things that are... earth-shattering, yet perfectly reasonable.
Given Mikhail's personality, he would indeed say such a thing.
He Yuan had expected this, but he hadn't anticipated that he would be so blunt, leaving him unsure how to respond.
"Don't you mind?" He Yuan asked. "Wouldn't you feel awkward sleeping in the same bed with someone you've only known for a few hours?"
Mikhail shook his head. "Why would I feel awkward? I think we have a lot to talk about—but I won't keep you up all night chatting, you can rest assured about that."
"I won't investigate why you're like this; I just want to help you."
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
He Yuan had to admit that he was somewhat moved when Mikhail said those words.
However, his threshold is very high, so it was not breached.
"Well... thank you," He Yuan paused, as if she was having some difficulty asking, "If it's alright, could we try it tomorrow night?"
"I want to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Mikhail replied without hesitation, "Of course, no problem. I don't have any plans for tonight anyway, so you can just contact me directly."
The matter was settled in just a few words.
While Tirnan was still hesitating, Mikhail rushed in without thinking twice and secured a job as a "sleep companion".
Pam looked completely stunned.
He was even planning to find some melatonin or something similar for He Yuan, but someone else came to the rescue.
No wonder Akivili said that if He hadn't acted quickly, the crane and kite would have been snatched away by someone else long ago.
It doesn't mean snatching in a physical sense, but rather being taken away.
Therefore, Tirnan's actions were not quick enough, causing him to miss a golden opportunity.
He was the one who arrived first to find out, but Mikhail, who arrived later, beat him to it.
Pam finally understood what "fighting and snatching" meant.
Mikhail may have been unintentional, but his actions perfectly matched the word and the "Aha" that Akivili spoke of.
It's true that Aha got on the bus back then, and it's also true that he liked and pursued Heyuan. It's just that Heyuan didn't give him a good look, which made Aha lose face—although Aha didn't care anymore.
But Pam can never forget what happened back then.
After all, it's unimaginable for ordinary people how low the limits of the God of Pleasure can be.
While Pam was still in shock, Mikhail had already made a time appointment with He Yuan and asked about her habits.
"Do...do we need to ask this?" He Yuan had been hit too many times and was starting to panic. "Are there really so many things to be careful about?"
Mikhail stated firmly: "Of course, sleep is very important, and your feelings should definitely come first."
"I've always had good sleep quality, so I'm fine with anything, so it's up to you!"
Crane Kite began to think.
Was Mikhail truly acting out of genuine concern for him, or did he have ulterior motives?
But before she could even begin to think, Mikhail's words made He Yuan realize... he was genuinely looking out for him.
Because Mikhail pulled Tirnan aside, he said, "If you're not satisfied with my sleeping arrangements, you can try Tirnan!"
“He is more attentive than me and sleeps more soundly. You probably need someone who sleeps soundly, right? Sometimes I roll around and wake up up to find myself upside down or on the floor.”
Crane Kite: "..."
Fortunately, he was experienced and quickly replied, "...That's fine too, but I don't have many requirements. I just need to feel that someone is around me."
Mikhail blurted out, "That's easy, I'll just hold you!"
For a moment, the three of them and the handkerchief fell silent.
Mikhail slowly realized what he had just said and didn't know how to explain it.
He was genuinely worried!
He really didn't mean anything by it!
—Okay, it seems there is, but he didn't intend to take advantage of others' misfortune.
He Yuan paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "I've always been like this."
He always sleeps in his partner's arms, feeling their warmth and breath, closing his eyes in a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere.
"Misha, I have no objection to your proposal."
Rather, this was his original idea.
Sometimes you have to use some tricks to get someone to understand.
A few words from him reignited Mikhail's excitement, which had been clearing his head somewhat. "Do you have a favorite flavor? I can go to Luofu right now to buy it and provide you with a good sleeping environment."
"I'll prepare this myself," He Yuan said, tilting her head slightly. "You've already helped me a lot by coming here, so I can't trouble you any further."
He Yuan said "you," not "you all."
Tirnan, who had not spoken, was naturally excluded, but he did reveal a little bit of information.
—Take the initiative, I won't refuse.
Tirnan could no longer discern the truth of the information, but he clearly sensed that if he did not take action, there was no possibility of anything else happening.
“I can help too.”
"If Misha ever needs anything, I can come and help," Tirnan said.
He Yuan smiled and asked, "What if you and Misha both have something to do?"
The young man's eyes crinkled into crescents, clearly indicating that he was teasing them.
Mikhail, however, fell for it.
"So, what are your requirements for the person you want to sleep with? I'll see if I can find a few more?"
Tirnan: "..."
What an idiot!
Isn't this just creating more rivals for my affections?
Fortunately, He Yuan didn't have any ill intentions towards others. She said to them, "I was just joking. We're companions, how could we possibly be separated?"
Mikhail chuckled and agreed, "Yes! I promise that either Tirnan or I will always be by your side!"
He Yuan couldn't help but laugh. "Then thank you, Misha."
"I'll go pick someone up first, you guys rest first."
