Chapter 81 Tossed Around for Half the Night
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi walked on the path in the night. It was so quiet around them that only the sound of each other's footsteps could be heard.
There were many wars in the past few years and things were not peaceful at night, so people almost always closed their doors at night.
Even though it is peaceful now, this has become a habit after all. No one goes out for a walk at night, and there is no so-called night market to visit.
It was dark all the way and there were gusts of cold wind. It was really boring to walk on the road.
Xu Qingmeng had a lot to say, but she didn't know how to start.
She stole a glance at Gu Yunyi, the moonlight shining on his chiseled face, and then she saw him rubbing his belly with one hand and walking slowly.
Looking at him like this, Xu Qingmeng just wanted to laugh, but she felt it was not right, so she could only cover her mouth behind her back and laugh secretly.
Even so, Gu Yunyi still noticed something. He turned around, looked at her blankly, and asked, "Is your husband funny right now?"
Xu Qingmeng shook her head and said, "No, I just suddenly thought of something interesting." Then she thought of him rubbing his stomach non-stop, so she said, "By the way, you've eaten so much, are you feeling uncomfortable? How about going to the clinic to get some hawthorns to soak in water and drink?"
"Don't bother, it's much better now." Gu Yunyi hesitated for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Did you...did you notice that there was something wrong with mother and sister-in-law today?"
Xu Qingmeng pretended not to know, "No, what's wrong? Isn't it the same normally? What makes you feel it's wrong?"
"Mother was scolding me for being lazy yesterday, but today she seems a little too enthusiastic." Gu Yunyi thought carefully.
Xu Qingmeng comforted him, "Alright, you must be overthinking it. You are the one that I love the most. I usually scold people with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I have been running around since I came back from the exam. I must have seen that you have lost weight today, so I want to help you replenish your body."
"Yeah?"
Xu Qingmeng: "It must be."
Gu Yunyi stopped talking. He was not a person who didn't know the difference between different kinds of food, but except for the pigeon, all the dishes tonight were familiar to him at home, so he couldn't think of anything else.
My brother is also cleaning up at home, so it is understandable that he is doing these things.
On the way, Gu Yunyi repeated what Madam Huang had asked him to convey today.
"Mrs. Huang owns shops on West Street and East Street. There are five or six vacant shops of varying sizes. I was wondering if you have any idea of opening a pastry shop."
After Gu Yunyi submitted the list in the provincial capital, he had completely stood on the side of Magistrate Huang.
The pastry shop that had previously refused to accept the offer in order to protect its own interests no longer had to worry about it.
However, Gu Yunyi has no scruples, but that doesn’t mean Xu Qingmeng has no scruples.
The Huang family and the Shen family are old friends, so Mrs. Huang naturally knows Miss Shen, the official match of the male protagonist in the original book, so she was very hesitant.
However, these are Xu Qingmeng's own concerns, and Gu Yunyi may not know them yet.
"Let's not talk about this for now. The shop hasn't been renovated yet, and I can't leave."
"I'll talk to Madam Huang tomorrow."
Xu Qingmeng shook her head: "I'll go by myself. It's time for me to visit in person.
"Then I'll go with you." Gu Yunyi said.
Xu Qingmeng did not refuse at that moment.
When I got home, the lights in the main room were off and the yard was quiet.
Xu Qingmeng followed Gu Yunyi into the east wing and suddenly felt a little nervous.
There is a small platform extending from the windowsill of the east wing, about the width of a palm, where some small things are usually placed. Today, there are a few scissors for cutting peppers on it.
"The weather is getting hot. I'm sweating after walking for a while." Gu Yunyi relaxed his neck and pushed open the door to the east wing.
Xu Qingmeng paused, reached out to pick up a pair of scissors from the windowsill and put them into his sleeve.
Xu Qingmeng casually poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Have a cup of cold water, it probably won't be so hot later."
Gu Yunyi waved his hand: "No, drinking cold water at night will probably make you catch a cold. You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the bamboo couch by the window. I'll open the window slightly so it's cool."
Xu Qingmeng's eyes fell on Gu Yunyi's tall figure.
Don't be fooled by his skinny appearance, he is actually quite tall. Xu Qingmeng knew this on the first day she came here.
Xu Qingmeng's eyes swept over him and then fell on the narrow bamboo bed.
"The bamboo bed is too small to sleep on. I'd better sleep here." Xu Qingmeng sat on the bamboo bed, as if she was going to sleep.
Gu Yunyi thought that she would not sleep well, so he walked to the bedside.
Xu Qingmeng's whole body tensed up, and her palms felt the coldness in her sleeves.
"You...what are you doing?"
In the darkness, a trace of doubt flashed across Gu Yunyi's eyes. He always felt that her voice seemed a little nervous?
Or maybe there is something she doesn't know and is hiding from it. If she doesn't tell it, it will just keep it to itself.
Here, Xu Qingmeng fell asleep soon after lying on the soft quilt, smelling the unfamiliar but soothing scent of the quilt, and slowly fell asleep.
Gu Yunyi, lying on the bamboo couch, couldn't fall asleep because he had eaten so many nutritious foods and felt hot in his heart.
I originally thought that the bamboo bed was too small and that was why I was not sleeping comfortably, but not long after, I still felt like my heart was on fire.
Gu Yunyi had no choice but to open the window a little, and the cool night breeze blew in, making him feel a lot more comfortable.
But before I slept for long, the heat swept over my body again.
Just like that, Gu Yunyi had no choice but to open the window wider and wider, and finally opened the entire window. He then took a cold shower and tossed and turned for most of the night before he could fall asleep.
The next morning, Xu Qingmeng sat up and found that the room was a little chilly.
Then the whole open window was visible.
"A-choo!" She stood up without noticing the quilt slipping off quietly. Her thin clothes seemed so powerless in the face of the sudden cold wind.
The breeze in the early morning brings a coolness that cannot be ignored.
Gu Yunyi was startled by her noise, and his body turned slightly a few times, then he opened his eyes.
The future Prime Minister had just woken up, with a clear and slightly confused light in his eyes.
He looks like an innocent child, exuding an innocent and lovable aura, like a docile puppy, completely harmless.
Xu Qingmeng's gaze fell on the chair at the end of the bamboo couch again. Gu Yunyi's feet were resting on it, looking so awkward.
At this moment, a trace of guilt surged in her heart, and she suddenly felt that she seemed to have gone too far.
In fact, after this night, Gu Yunyi was still able to hold himself back, which shows that his character is still safe.
Besides, it’s not like they haven’t had sex before.
Although the first time was not perfect, at least.
It's not impossible to give him half of such a big bed.
