Guest Room
Seeing that he was about to pass by her and leave, Dong You immediately said, "Xiao An, don't you see me standing here like a grown man?"
Perhaps he was sleepy. When Chen Qi'an raised his eyes after hearing what he said, Dong You could see the sleepiness in his eyes. He said "Hmm?" and was about to speak. But Dong You said first, "Are you sleepy? Come on, I'll blow dry your hair for you."
Chen Qi'an was led into the room by Dong You in a daze and was asked to sit on the chair next to the dressing table. He half-closed his eyes and felt the warm air from the hair dryer blowing across his face.
His hair wasn't too stiff, but rather smooth. Dong You played with his hair and could smell the scent of shampoo.
It’s so strange, why does this smell make her feel so comfortable?
Logically, the shampoo she uses should be the same as his, so why doesn't she have this feeling when she smells her own?
Chen Qi'an's head nodded, feeling extremely sleepy. Dong You glanced at the clock on the wall in surprise. It was only half past ten, why was he feeling as sleepy as if it were the early morning?
After blowing his hair, he still squinted his eyes. It was obvious that he was trying hard to open them, but he couldn't resist his instinct. He stood up dazedly and was about to walk out: "Well... Thank you, Sister Xiaoyou, good night... I'm going to bed first..."
"Hey—" Dong You didn't expect him to do this. She immediately grabbed his hand and said, "Where are you going?" She glanced at the bed, which was an extra-large double bed. "Isn't there a bed here?"
Chen Qi'an was indeed a little sleepy and confused, but he was not completely irrational.
Dong You's words woke him up a little. He gently pulled Dong You's hand away. Although his eyes were still half-closed, the words he spoke out were clearer than before: "I'll go to the guest room."
"Just sleep here." Dongyou said firmly.
At this time, Dongyou didn't want to give in to him anymore.
Dongyou didn’t know why, maybe she missed Chen Qian’an’s clingy and coquettish behavior towards her?
The few words Chen Qian'an mumbled with hazy eyes just now sounded very, very, very like his childhood. In a trance, Dong You felt that he had returned to a long time ago, to the time when he had a little follower, and to the time when they were so close.
Chen Qi'an lowered his head in silence, his voice tinged with sleepiness: "This... isn't good."
His voice was so soft that even in a quiet space, Dong You had to listen carefully to hear it clearly.
"What's wrong with that?" Dong You took his hand and walked towards the bed, pressed him to sit on the edge of the bed, put his hands on his shoulders, lifted his face, looked at him seriously, and said, "Have you forgotten? We are already married."
Chen Qi'an looked at him quietly, his eyes still hazy.
"So," Dongyou continued, "the idea of 'men and women shouldn't touch each other' doesn't work for us."
Chen Qi'an moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something else. Before he could utter a word, he was forcibly shoved back into the bed.
Dongyou's voice sighed helplessly in the air: "Go to sleep quickly."
Chen Qi'an was already sleepy, so he lay down and fell asleep in a daze as soon as he touched the pillow.
Very quiet.
Dong You heard Chen Qian'an's breathing gradually become steady.
She walked to the other side of the bed, gently and carefully lifted the quilt and went to sleep.
Remembering that Chen Qian'an was always afraid of heat, she turned on the air conditioner and adjusted it to a more suitable temperature.
She closed her eyes and could hear Chen Qian'an's breathing clearly.
She suddenly felt her lips dry.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Whose heartbeat is that?
Strange, why is her hearing so good tonight?
The whirring sound of the air conditioner was clearly right next to her ears, but she still felt a little hot.
I usually don’t go to bed so early during winter tours.
She is very busy at work and often works until late at night.
Today was her most indulgent day. She hadn't dealt with any work the entire day. It was her only real day off.
It could be a large person lying on his side.
His breathing, his heartbeat, the sounds of his slight movements were all clear in the darkness.
It’s not the same as when I was a child.
When she was a child, she could just hold Chen Qi'an and fall asleep.
Now she was a little reserved.
Winter travel is inevitably depressing.
Is it because I’ve grown up?
*
“Ding-ling-ling——!”
The two people lying on the bed habitually kept touching each other slowly without opening their eyes.
“!!!”
The two of them suddenly opened their eyes.
The annoying alarm clock is still ringing, but no one reaches out to look for it.
They touched each other's hands.
After a pause, Chen Qi'an tried to withdraw his hand, but before he could move, Dong You grabbed his wrist.
Dong You remembered that she had fallen asleep with her eyes open until 2 a.m. last night, and she must have dark circles under her eyes. She gently held Chen Qi'an's wrist, stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, and asked, "What time is it now?"
After a while, I heard the person next to me answer: "...I don't know."
Dongyou sat up, looked around, and found that it was his cell phone that was making the noise.
She picked up her phone from the bedside table, turned off the alarm, and glanced at the numbers on the screen: "It's only half past six."
As she spoke, she released her grip on Chen Qi'an's hand, threw back the covers, put on her shoes, and said, "You go back to sleep." She stood up and walked towards the door, "I'm going to work soon."
Chen Qi'an blinked and sat up, "I'll make you breakfast."
Dong You refused without a second thought: "No, just sleep well, I can handle it myself."
"I've slept a lot, and it's time to get up now." Chen Qian'an had already walked to her side, his eyes clear.
Dongyou’s working hours are nine o’clock. Fortunately, she set the alarm clock an hour earlier last night, so there is more than enough time now.
Of course, she wouldn't let Chen Qian'an prepare breakfast alone in the kitchen, so after washing up, they went into the kitchen together.
There are a lot of things in the refrigerator, including fruits and vegetables, milk, bread and eggs.
Chen Qi'an put two slices of toast in the toaster and washed the pan to fry two eggs. Dong You walked behind him, heated two cups of milk, and washed some vegetables.
Breakfast was a simple sandwich, but he enjoyed it very much during the winter outing. He even said goodbye to Chen Qian'an happily when he left.
As a result, Chen Qianan followed her, and he and Dong You sat at the entrance to put on their shoes.
"Are you going out?" Dong You asked.
Chen Qi'an carefully tied his shoelaces without even looking up: "...My car is still parked in that neighborhood."
Dongyou then remembered this matter.
She stood at the door, "Oh, let's go."
The two of them walked out of the door together. Dong You walked towards the garage, opened the passenger door and was about to invite someone in, but when she turned around, she found that the person was gone. She looked again and found that the tall figure was standing at the gate of the yard, about a hundred meters away from her.
Aren’t you going to get the car?
"Xiao An——" Dong You shouted in that direction: "What are you doing standing there——"
She saw Chen Qi'an turn around, but couldn't quite make out his expression. He just shook the phone in his hand, and a faint voice came over: "I'm waiting for the bus."
It seems that this means taking a taxi.
"?" Dong You immediately walked over and dragged him to his car. "Cancel it quickly. Don't we have a car?"
As she spoke, she protected the person's head and stuffed him into the car without any explanation.
Dong You was very strong, and Chen Qian'an had no intention of resisting, so he just sat in the passenger seat in a daze.
It was not until Dong You slammed the door shut that she heard Chen Qi'an's muffled voice in the car: "It's not on our way..."
With another "click", Dong You got into the driver's seat. She turned the key, turned her head and looked at Chen Qi'an helplessly and said, "The steering wheel is in my hands. I can handle any road."
Seeing that his phone was still on the taxi-hailing page, she snatched it away and clicked "Cancel", then smiled and gently put it back in his hand.
“…” Chen Qianan silently put the phone back into his pocket.
Seeing that he was still frowning, Dong You knew the reason and felt helpless. He smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry about me being late. It's still early."
Chen Qi'an had no choice but to give up.
An An sat quietly, looking at the messy boxes in the garage in front of him. He said to Dong You who was carefully reversing his car: "What about your stuff?"
Chen Qi'an didn't look at her. Dong You was concentrating on reversing and didn't look at him either: "What is it—Oh, oh, it's okay, it's nothing important, don't worry, don't worry about it."
Chen Qianan blinked and said nothing.
Finally, they backed the car out and officially drove onto the flat road. Dong You finally realized: She was fine, and Chen Qi'an would drive his car back and there would be no room for it.
You can't park both cars in the yard. The road is so small and the rest is lawn.
Dong You didn't think much before he said, "Please help me clean it up." As soon as he finished speaking, his mind seemed to work and he changed his words: "No, you ask the gardener and the housekeeper to help move the things into the living room, and I'll clean it up when I get back, okay?"
Although Dong You didn't have many things, and he helped collect many of them, they were still Dong You's personal belongings, so Chen Qi'an couldn't touch them casually.
He nodded subconsciously, then remembered that Dong You couldn't see him while driving, so he added, "Okay."
Dongyou was reluctant to let Chen Qian'an do such chores on weekends.
She could clean up her own things, but she couldn't make the lunch that Chen Qianan had prepared.
And of course, his company.
On the surface, Dongyou was driving seriously, but in his mind he had already gone through several twists and turns. Then he said casually, "What are you going to do today?"
Chen Qi'an thought for a while: "Interview Auntie."
This is not the answer Dongyou wanted.
She didn't give up and said again: "Don't worry, don't tire yourself out, you can take a rest at noon."
She thought to herself, this hint is obvious enough...
Chen Qi'an didn't understand Dong You's hint, but gave Dong You the answer he wanted: "Yeah, I know. I'll come to you for lunch at noon."
The new home is closer to the company than the place I rented during my winter trip, making commuting much more convenient.
Chen Qi'an had been to the winter tour company so many times that he knew how short the lunch break was. If the tour was a long and arduous one, there wouldn't be much time left to rest.
Dong You's heart leaped with joy, but he only smiled faintly: "Okay."
"What do you want to eat?"
Today's journey was smooth, with only a few red lights. When people are in a good mood, they don't think too much before speaking. Dongyou said directly, "You did everything well."
I didn't have lunch during the winter outing.
