Chapter 42 "Xu Heyi, let's sleep together."
Jiang Nuanzhu sat in a wheelchair and walked to the toilet door. He was silent for a long time as he looked at the two small steps of the toilet.
Jiang Nuanzhu could jump up with one foot, but if something unexpected happened, she might get hurt even more.
She sat at the door of the toilet and thought for three seconds, then sent a message to Xu Heyi.
【Mr. Xu, I think I might need you.】
Jiang Nuanzhu thought, if Xu Heyi didn't receive the message, she would try it herself. If something happened then, Xu Heyi wouldn't be able to blame her?
Unexpectedly, just after three seconds, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Nuanzhu opened the door and met Xu Heyi's eyes.
Jiang Nuanzhu said guiltily: "...I thought I could do it myself, but I forgot that the toilet has steps."
"Um."
Xu Heyi responded calmly, bent down, picked up Jiang Nuanzhu and put her into the toilet.
He didn't ask any more questions.
After Jiang Nuanzhu finished, he carried her back to bed with a blushing face.
Xu Heyi even dragged the wheelchair away and said, "I'll have someone build the steps tomorrow."
"No need..." Jiang Nuanzhu quite likes this kind of small steps.
Xu Heyi said without hesitation: "Wait until your injury is healed and then repair it."
Well, this is what it means to be rich and willful.
After finally returning to bed, Jiang Nuanzhu hadn't even warmed up the quilt when she felt the sensation again.
The more you try to endure, the stronger the feeling becomes.
After a long silence, Jiang Nuanzhu numbly sent a message to Xu Heyi.
How about you come and sleep with me tonight?
This sounded very suggestive, but Jiang Nuanzhu felt that Xu Heyi should be able to understand her implication.
Jiang Nuanzhu didn't ask Xu Heyi to come and help directly because she was afraid it would happen again... She had no face to lose anyway.
【good. 】
Xu Heyi replied quickly, seemingly not bothered at all.
He knocked on the door twice out of habit, then pushed it open and came in. When their eyes met, Jiang Nuanzhu was left feeling embarrassed.
When everything calmed down, Xu Heyi tucked her in and said, "Go to bed early."
After saying that, he prepared to go back to his room, not taking Jiang Nuanzhu's words to heart.
Jiang Nuanzhu hesitated for a moment, raised her hand, grabbed his hand, and buried her face in the quilt.
"Xu Heyi, let's sleep together."
It was so late, but Xu Heyi always appeared the first time Jiang Nuanzhu called him, which meant that he didn't sleep well.
If it happened again... Jiang Nuanzhu felt a little disgusted with herself for being so troublesome.
Xu Heyi didn't respond. He took her hand in his and stuffed it into the quilt, saying in a deep voice, "Mrs. Xu, I won't take advantage of others' misfortune."
Jiang Nuanzhu was annoyed and raised her head from the quilt, saying fiercely, "I just want to ask you whether you want to sleep or not?!"
Nuomi, who was standing next to him, woke up while rubbing his eyes. Not knowing what was going on, he raised his little head and howled fiercely.
The man and the cat move in sync, looking fierce yet delicate, which makes people laugh.
Xu Heyi's gaze dropped downwards, and a touch of whiteness passed before his eyes. His eyes darkened and he responded heavily.
"sleep."
Jiang Nuanzhu quietly moved to the side, trying to make room for Xu Heyi, but she felt a chill in her chest.
She looked down and her cheeks heated up again.
While Xu Heyi was moving the kitten, he quietly rolled up the collar of his pajamas.
I can't wear this pajamas next time.
Only after Xu Heyi got into bed did Jiang Nuanzhu breathe a sigh of relief and try to forget all the embarrassment of tonight.
At this time, her foot was still injured, so she was not worried about what Xu Heyi would do to her, and she did not feel the nervousness and shyness she had on the first day when they shared bed.
The room was quiet for a long time, and Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly said, "Xu Heyi, let's sleep in the same room from now on."
"Why do you say that suddenly?"
"Don't you want to?" Jiang Nuanzhu's soft voice became a little lighter.
"think."
He answered so quickly and confidently that Jiang Nuanzhu wondered if he had been waiting for her to speak first.
Jiang Nuanzhu's voice became lower and lower. "I just feel like I'm getting used to your presence."
He suddenly chuckled, and his magnetic voice was like a feather scratching the tip of my ear.
"I'm honored."
In the night, Jiang Nuanzhu's cheeks were flushed.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly said, "Xu Heyi, I actually had a cat before."
A low, magnetic voice came from beside him: "I know."
"You knew?" Jiang Nuanzhu was startled at first, then realized: "Qing Yin told you, right?"
"Yeah." Xu Heyi said slowly, "Qing Yin mentioned it once. You have a cat named Tao Su."
"Peach cake was a birthday gift my grandfather gave me when I was six years old."
When Jiang Nuanzhu thought of the past, she felt a kind of indifference like smoke, but also a bit of melancholy and sadness.
Just like that day in the temple room, she leaned quietly on Xu Heyi's shoulder, smelling the aroma of tea and ink on him, and gradually opened her closed heart.
"When I was nine years old, I went to Xishan Mansion once."
After Jiang's father and mother successfully started their business, they bought their first villa in Xishan Mansion, and later lived there with Jiang Nuanyu.
Jiang Nuanzhu: "My grandparents were worried that I would be separated from my parents for too long and our relationship would become distant, so they sent Taosu and me back to Xishan Mansion. They had originally planned for me to live with my parents."
Xu Heyi's eyes moved slightly, and his expression was somewhat mysterious in the darkness.
He whispered, "I remember you didn't officially live with your parents until you were sixteen?"
"You remember correctly." Jiang Nuanzhu: "When I was nine years old, it was the first time I spent the night away from home alone. I was scared and wanted to sleep with Tao Su, but my parents wouldn't let me."
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang thought the kitten was full of viruses and was unclean.
"And then?"
"Later, I left Taosu at the door, but when I woke up the next day, it was gone. When I asked, I found out that Jiang Nuanyu was upset because Taosu was pretty and wanted to get a cat, so they got angry and thought Taosu was the trouble, so they threw her away."
Xu Heyi's Adam's apple rolled, as if he was trying to hold something back. "I vaguely remember Grandpa mentioning that you ran away from home when you were nine. Is that related to this incident?"
"...I guess so. I was clamoring to find Taosu, but they ignored me, so I quietly slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, crying as I searched for her, and finally made my way back to Grandpa's house."
Xu Heyi: "Did you find it later?"
"No."
"Did you look for it later?"
"Grandpa helped me look for it, but he couldn't find it."
"Were you scared walking alone at night?"
Jiang Nuanzhu's heart moved slightly, and she had an indescribable feeling.
Xu Heyi always reveals his gentleness and delicacy silently, and from her perspective, he truly feels sorry for her.
How could she not like a man like this?
"I was scared." Jiang Nuanzhu used a gentle smile to hide the emotions in her heart: "But it's over now."
Through the quilt, Xu Heyi held her hand with his big palm, and his low voice echoed in the room.
"Mrs. Xu, from now on...I'll be with you at night."
Jiang Nuanzhu responded gently: "Well, I'm not afraid anymore."
"Did you encounter anything else along the way?"
