But no matter how much Pei Yang coaxed and pleaded, Xu Jiayue still refused to give in.
Pei Yang could only lie on the bed in frustration and focus on 'nurturing the egg'. His recovery ability was quite amazing, and he was completely pain-free by the next day.
That evening, seeing Xu Jiayue come out in her pajamas after taking a shower, I started to have wandering thoughts again.
Because of the egg incident, he'd been allowed to sleep in bed since yesterday, though we weren't in the same blankets. Just looking at her lying so close to him last night filled his mind with all sorts of romantic images.
Now that she smells so sweet in bed, how could he just stand by and watch?
"Put your claws away!" Xu Jiayue had just lain down when she felt a hand slip into her blanket, and she slapped it hard.
"Wife, I'm all better now. You're not planning to just let me watch like this forever, are you?" Pei Yang said, feeling a little aggrieved. He had been abstaining from sex for a very, very long time.
"Besides this, is there nothing else on your mind?" Xu Jiayue pinched his persistent 'perverted hand'.
"It's so late at night, what else could a couple be doing lying in bed?" Pei Yang ignored being pinched and insisted on rubbing and touching her waist.
"You! You married me just for this?!" Xu Jiayue glared at him angrily.
"Of course not. I married you because I love you, and because I love you, I want to be closer to you."
"Really? I think you can get intimate with someone even without love." Xu Jiayue snorted.
Pei Yang felt a chill run down her spine. When would she be able to forget his past?
Seeing that he was speechless again after she had retorted, Xu Jiayue felt no pleasure. She would rather he didn't have those people she could retort to.
She lowered her eyes, released her grip on his hand, pursed her lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "Pei Yang, do you think I'm petty and not cute at all?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Pei Yang withdrew his hands that were messing around in the quilt, and pulled her and the quilt into his arms from the outside. He pressed her head against his chest and said in a low voice, "I'm just upset with myself. You didn't do anything wrong. Even if you can't get over that in your heart and don't want me to be close to you, that's okay. I love everything about you. Your body is just a small part of everything. I won't lose the big picture for the small thing."
Xu Jiayue raised his eyes, his expression sincere, as if he were speaking from the bottom of his heart.
She smiled slyly and replied, "Alright then, from now on we'll have a Platonic spiritual love, and we can't think about anything physical."
"Huh?" Pei Yang didn't really intend to be a vegetarian for life. He gently advised, "Then how will you have children? Don't you really like children?"
“Yes, we can have babies artificially,” Xu Jiayue said with a grin.
Pei Yang was in a bad mood. Had he shot himself in the foot?
“If you go abroad for artificial insemination, you can even choose the gender yourself. Do you want a son or a daughter?” Xu Jiayue asked earnestly, resting her elbow on his chest.
Pei Yang didn't care whether he wanted a boy or a girl; he just wanted her.
"Artificial treatments seem to be bad for your health, requiring hormone injections and such. Let's not do that. I can't bear to see you suffer." He made up a plausible excuse.
"Really? Then let's just adopt him." Xu Jiayue said this deliberately, to see what else he had to say and to make him reveal his true colors.
