“Then I’ll wear it.” Chi Yan suddenly spoke up, his voice inexplicably hoarse.
The flickering candlelight brushed past Shen Tangning's eyebrows and eyes, and she lowered her gaze and responded.
He moved very gently, as if afraid of accidentally breaking her hair, but Shen Tangning's black hair was as smooth as brocade. The hairpin itself was also smooth, so he was a little unsure of how to do it and only managed to put it on properly after several attempts.
Chi Yan's palms were slightly damp with nervousness, and she stepped back as if granted a pardon: "Alright."
Shen Tangning examined herself in the mirror but couldn't see anything, so she turned to Chi Yan and asked, "How is it?"
Chi Yan was caught off guard and met her gaze. Her eyes were not as cold as usual; they reflected the candlelight and had a shimmering quality. The slightly upturned corners of her eyes revealed an innocent and pure look.
He barely noticed the hairpin, just nodded haphazardly, "It's pretty! I'll go make the bed!"
Watching his awkward back, Shen Tangning hid her smile in her eyes and suddenly said, "The weather is getting colder and colder. Husband, you don't need to sleep on the floor anymore."
Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned her head: "What do you mean?"
Shen Tangning raised an eyebrow slightly: "You can sleep in the bed."
As the weather turned cold, Chi Yanruo fell ill from sleeping on the ground and caught a cold. She didn't know how to explain this to her mother-in-law.
Chi Yan finally realized what was happening, looking embarrassed: "This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Shen Tangning smiled slightly: "Of course, if you want to continue sleeping on the floor, I have no objection."
Chi Yan: "..."
No, can't a person even have a little self-respect?
Chi Yan promptly picked up the bedding from the floor, afraid that Shen Tangning would change her mind. Who would want to sleep on the floor when they could sleep in a bed?
When Shen Tangning said he would sleep in the bed, she meant only the words; she meant he would share half of the bed with her, and they would each use their own blankets.
Half a year later, Chi Yan lay on the bed he had personally commissioned to be made again, and he was still quite unaccustomed to it. He thought to himself in a daze, "Is this fragrant and soft bed really his bed?"
Shen Tangning was also a little uncomfortable. She didn't feel anything when Chi Yan was sleeping on the ground, but suddenly there was a living person next to her, and his presence became very strong.
She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, but failed several times. Chi Yan couldn't help but say, "If I snore, just kick me off the bed."
Shen Tangning's eyelashes trembled a few times, but she didn't speak.
Chi Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Don't worry, I sleep very well and won't take advantage of you."
Shen Tangning, unable to bear it any longer, said: "Shut up and go to sleep."
"..."
Chi Yan finally behaved himself.
After a while, he heard even breathing sounds beside him. Chi Yan turned his head to look at Shen Tangning. Her sleeping posture was very standard. She was lying flat on her back with her hands folded over her lower abdomen, just like her personality, very proper and orderly.
Chi Yan propped his head up and stared at her, then suddenly chuckled softly, "Little old-fashioned, even your sleep is so proper."
——
The next day, Shen Tangning woke up feeling suffocated.
Chi Yan, who claims to be a very well-behaved sleeper, is currently wrapped around her with both feet. Her blanket is still properly covering her, but Chi Yan's has disappeared.
Shen Tangning took a deep breath, her neck slowly turning red, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
Xueqing pushed open the door carrying a basin and was suddenly greeted by this scene:
"hiss!"
