He whispered something, then turned and used one of his hands, which was supporting her back, to hug her shoulder.
With his other hand, he reached under her legs and, with a little effort, lifted her up and put her in the bed. He then took off her coat and shoes.
After tidying up Shu Ying's blankets, Xie Zhiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was quite late, he took off his coat, turned off the light, and went to bed.
Just as Xie Zhiyan lay down and was adjusting his position, Shu Ying suddenly rolled over and ended up in his arms.
As if she had a radar installed on her head, she precisely moved upwards, nestling her head against Xie Zhiyan's chest, rising and falling with his breath, and her legs pressed against his without hesitation.
Xie Zhiyan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle.
When the two of them go to bed around the same time, she seems quite well-behaved.
Why are you so clingy when our schedules are slightly apart?
Xie Zhiyan found it amusing and moved his body a little to the side.
Shu Ying immediately followed and rested her head on the center of his chest once again.
After adjusting my posture, I breathed a sigh of relief and then fell into a good sleep.
Xie Zhiyan's lips curved into an even higher smile.
He's already quite satisfied with playing the "feigning indifference" trick once.
Xie Zhiyan stopped teasing her and reached out to put his arm around Shu Ying's slender waist.
Without even looking down, Xie Zhiyan noticed as soon as he placed his hand on her waist that it seemed to have become a little fleshier than before.
Now when you put your hand on it, it feels soft and squishy.
Unlike before, when you could only feel a bunch of bones pressing against him when you put your hand on him, his waist was also very thin.
He felt much more at ease now that things were as they were.
I wonder if Shu Ying will pout and be unhappy when she notices that her waist has gotten bigger.
Thinking of Shu Ying's sullen and angry appearance, Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but chuckle, then hugged her even tighter and kissed the top of her head tenderly.
He has seen how hard she's been working lately.
It's already quite remarkable that she has so much fat around her waist; he's even worried that she might accidentally get even thinner.
It looked as if it could be blown over by a gust of wind, which made people feel uneasy.
It seems I should make more trips to the market these next couple of days to buy more nutritious chicken, fish, and meat.
Or, when he has free time, he can ask his mother and sister for advice and cook a meal for her himself.
The "feeding his wife" plan thus began to take shape in Xie Zhiyan's mind.
Nestled in Xie Zhiyan's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, Shu Ying slept exceptionally well for the first half of the night.
But in the latter half of the night, for some reason, the scenes in my dream suddenly changed from peaceful and tranquil to gradually distorted, becoming bizarre, chaotic, and disorderly.
In her dream, she was having a picnic on a lawn in springtime with Yangyang, Yueyue, and Xie Zhiyan.
Yangyang and Yueyue each held a small kite. They had just finished eating and immediately turned around and skipped off to fly their kites.
The family is warm and harmonious.
But this harmonious scene began to become distorted at some point.
Suddenly, the scene before my eyes flashed, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. The sky began to darken and gloomy, and I could hear the booming sound of waves crashing against the shore, which was terrifying.
That loneliness, that salty, damp scent of the ocean, lingered around my nose.
Shu Ying blinked hard, then looked down and realized she was standing on a rock.
This reef is right next to the sea; if you take one more step forward, you'll fall into the sea.
Shu Ying felt a sense of fear and turned to leave when she heard a cry for help.
"Help me! I've fallen into the sea! Yingying, help me!"
