Chapter 186 Where to Sleep
Lu Qingye was thinking about how to fall asleep tonight. His thoughts were in a mess, like a concubine who was picked by the emperor and had no experience in sleeping with the emperor. He was wondering how to cope.
Their marriage agreement was a secret between him and Meng Chuyuan, so sleeping in separate rooms was naturally not within the scope of their agreement.
But before that, they hadn't lived together.
The housekeeper asked again: "Do you need me to get you a coat?"
With the housekeeper's thoughtful reminder, Lu Qingye came back to his senses and replied lightly: "No, I'll be upstairs in a moment."
After thinking it over, Lu Qingye decided to go back to the bedroom first. He stood up and walked towards the stairs. He began to slow down when he stepped on the stairs. This was probably because he had never realized that this section of stairs could take so long to walk.
Lu Qingye returned to his bedroom. He felt more relaxed than ever before and had nothing to do. He stood in front of the bedroom window for a while.
Not long after, Meng Chuyuan came out of the shower and caught a glimpse of Lu Qingye with his back to her, looking at something.
Meng Chuyuan asked: "You haven't slept yet?"
She thought that Lu Qingye had been on the plane for such a long time that he might have gone to sleep after taking a shower, but she didn't expect that he had opened half of the window and stood there to enjoy the breeze and watch the night view.
Lu Qingye turned around and glanced at Meng Chuyuan, then said, "I just finished my noodles."
After hearing his answer, Meng Chuyuan realized belatedly that the bowl of vegetable noodles she made for the housekeeper when she came back was for Lu Qingye.
Meng Chuyuan uttered a soft "oh" and then blurted out, "Have you finished eating?"
He nodded: "Yeah, it's quite light."
"...I should have fried an egg earlier." She thought the vegetable noodles were made for Lu Jinsen.
"Hmm?" Lu Qingye vaguely heard her mumbling something, but he couldn't hear clearly because he was standing far away: "What did you just say?"
"Nothing." Meng Chuyuan walked to the closet, took out a new pillow and quilt, and held them in his arms.
Seeing this, Lu Qingye frowned slightly and thought: Are they going to make a bed for him on the floor?
While he was distracted, Meng Chuyuan had already come to the bed with a pillow and quilt, placed them in another place, and spread them out flat.
“…” Seeing this, Lu Qingye realized that he was worrying too much.
After finishing, Meng Chuyuan put his hands on his waist, turned to look at Lu Qingye, and asked, "Which side do you sleep on?"
Lu Qingye lowered his eyes and spoke slowly: "I'll sleep on the outside."
At night, in the dim bedroom, two figures were lying on the big bed.
Not long after Meng Chuyuan lay down, he felt sleepy and fell asleep quickly.
On the other side of the bed, Lu Qingye still had his eyes open, staring at the dim ceiling, lost in thought for a long time. He didn't even know what he was thinking about, and he had no desire to sleep at all.
Lu Qingye tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Meng Chuyuan's shallow breathing.
“…” I was just about to ask her if she was asleep.
I didn't expect to fall asleep so quickly.
Lu Qingye didn't know how long he had been in that position until he felt his blood circulation was a little cut off. He then gently moved his stiff body. Before he could turn over, Meng Chuyuan also turned over and came face to face with him.
Meng Chuyuan gathered the quilt, making a rustling sound. When he heard it, he was immediately stunned.
His hands were still pressed on the quilt, and he could only lift them up slowly for fear of disturbing Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan had fallen into a deep sleep. She slept with the quilt hugged to her arms, leaving most of her body exposed.
Although the lights were off in the room, it was not so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Lu Qingye could vaguely see that Meng Chuyuan's quilt was rolled up into a ball and was held tightly in her arms.
Lu Qingye propped up his upper body with his elbows and slowly reached out to Meng Chuyuan, wanting to pull the quilt out of her arms and cover her. However, after pulling it gently a few times without any effect, he gave up.
The next second, he pulled his quilt over to cover Meng Chuyuan.
Lu Qingye sighed softly. He moved to the edge of the bed, slowly put his legs on the ground, then stood up, put on his slippers, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
Anyway, he couldn't sleep in there and didn't dare to move. The feeling of restraint was quite uncomfortable.
Lu Qingye opened the door, slowly closed it, and when he turned to go downstairs, he saw Lu Jinsen who had just returned home.
"Brother?" Lu Jinsen looked surprised and blinked suddenly, thinking that he was hallucinating because he was too tired from work today.
He bit his tongue lightly, and when he felt the pain, he finally believed his eyes and asked in astonishment, "Brother, when did you come back?"
“…”
Facing Lu Jinsen's sudden shock, Lu Qingye remained calm. He raised his eyes and said softly, "Today."
Seeing him coming out of the bedroom in pajamas, looking unwell, and thinking that Meng Chuyuan also lived there, Lu Jinsen made a bold guess: "Did she kick you out?"
Lu Qingye was a little displeased, his deep eyes flashing with coldness: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"So... you have insomnia? How about I go downstairs and have a drink with you?" Lu Jinsen walked up to him and said, "A little wine will help you sleep."
Lu Qingye looked at him with disdain and said with some disdain: "If you want to drink, drink it yourself."
He walked past Lu Jinsen and headed towards the study.
“…”
——
The next morning, Lu Qingye came out of the study just as it was daybreak.
Last night he was busy with some work in the study, contacted Assistant Yang, and devoted his full attention to his work. The sleepless night passed quickly.
Normally, Lu Qingye would get up at this time to go to work, so he went back to the bedroom to wash and change clothes.
Meng Chuyuan was still asleep at that time, and Lu Qingye didn't bother her. After changing his clothes and coming out of the cloakroom, he was about to leave when he remembered that his cell phone was still under his pillow.
Lu Qingye walked around the end of the bed, slowly came over, bent down, reached out and lifted the pillow to look for his phone.
He didn't find it on the other side, so Lu Qingye guessed that the phone might be somewhere near Meng Chuyuan, so he leaned half of his body in.
Because the other side of the pillow was very close to Meng Chuyuan's face, Lu Qingye subconsciously slowed down his movements, his eyes fixed on her facial features, while he reached under the pillow and groped around.
Lu Qingye searched blindly for a while and finally found his cell phone. Then, when he pulled his hand out, the cufflinks on his wrist gently brushed against Meng Chuyuan's nose, which was a little cold, and she woke up.
Meng Chuyuan noticed a faint shadow blocking her eyes, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing her open her eyes, Lu Qingye stiffened and said in a low voice: "Did I wake you up?"
Lu Qingye's sleeve was a little close to her face, and a fresh fragrance came from it, which was quite pleasant.
However, it somewhat blocked Meng Chuyuan's sight. Then she tilted her head back slightly, looked at Lu Qingye, raised her eyes slightly, and asked, "What do you think?"
