Chapter 41 The Real World: Sharing a Pillow
Fu Cinian hugged Su Jinyue tightly in his arms, then pulled the blanket over them to wrap them up tightly.
Su Jinyue struggled, but was stopped by Fu Cinian.
"do not move!"
After Fu Cinian finished speaking, Su Jinyue really stopped moving.
With her back to Fu Cinian, Su Jinyue had no idea what he was planning. She stared blankly into her mind for a long time before finally hearing Fu Cinian's steady, even breathing.
So, is sleeping really just sleeping?
……
The next day, Su Jinyue woke up very early. She had no choice but to go to bed early the night before.
Su Jinyue shifted her body, still being held by Fu Cinian. She cautiously tried to get up, but as soon as she moved, Fu Cinian instinctively pulled her closer again.
Su Jinyue gave up. She turned around in Fu Cinian's arms. As long as she didn't leave him, this action was still acceptable.
She was openly observing Fu Cinian's features; he was fast asleep with his eyes closed.
He lay quietly on the bed, his face with strong yet gentle features, like a meticulously sculpted work of art.
Beneath her long, thick eyelashes were tightly closed eyes. She remembered how deep those eyes were, as if they wanted to drown a person in them.
With a high nose bridge and thin lips slightly pursed, Fu Cinian, who was asleep at this moment, seemed to have completely let down his guard.
Fu Cinian's actions of holding Su Jinyue were completely out of character for him. Even before his rebirth, he never behaved like this in front of Su Jinyue.
Only on the day Su Jinyue died in a car accident did Su Jinyue, in her spirit form, glimpse Fu Cinian's disheveled state and loss of composure.
Su Jinyue carefully traced Fu Cinian's outline, thinking that Fu Cinian in this life seemed to be a bit clingy...
Lost in thought, Su Jinyue fell asleep again.
When Fu Cinian woke up after a good night's sleep, it was already past ten o'clock.
After a week, Fu Cinian finally got a good night's sleep.
Fu Cinian stirred, but his fingers touched soft, smooth skin. He opened his eyes and saw the warm, fragrant body in his arms.
Fu Cinian was slightly taken aback, then remembered what had happened last night. His headaches had kept him on edge for a week.
As soon as he got home last night, his headache disappeared. Once he relaxed, the fatigue that had been building up inside him surged up. He forced himself to finish dinner, take a shower, and then fell asleep while waiting for Su Jinyue on the sofa.
He was woken up by Su Jinyue. He was so exhausted that he couldn't even remember what he had said to her. He only remembered smelling a comforting scent and not wanting it to disappear, so he held it tightly in his arms. And then he remembered nothing more...
So, did he hold Su Jinyue and sleep all night?
Fu Cinian released Su Jinyue and lay flat on the bed, gently rubbing his temples, feeling an unprecedented clarity.
As soon as Fu Cinian moved, Su Jinyue woke up as well. She rubbed her eyes, still a little confused, and mumbled, "A-Nian, you're awake?"
Upon hearing this form of address, Fu Cinian raised an eyebrow. Although the address was somewhat intimate, given their relationship, it wasn't anything unusual.
Su Jinyue had already spoken when she seemed to remember something, suddenly stood up, and looked at Fu Cinian with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to explain something.
She hesitated for a long time, but felt that nothing she said would be appropriate.
At this moment, Fu Cinian spoke up.
"I'm sorry, I've been too tired lately. I was rude last night."
"No, no! This is your home, you are only obligated to do whatever you want here," Su Jinyue hurriedly explained.
Thinking about what happened last night, Su Jinyue blushed a little. She bit her lower lip and added another sentence.
"Moreover, we already got our marriage certificate yesterday."
They were together for seven years in their previous life, but she never had the courage to express her love to Fu Cinian when she died.
This time, they got married after only meeting once. Logically, Su Jinyue should have been satisfied, but hearing Fu Cinian speak to her so politely, Su Jinyue felt dissatisfied at all.
Su Jinyue lowered her head in grievance, secretly cursing her own greed, but she seemed to hear a soft laugh.
She looked up to see what was going on, but instead heard her own stomach rumbling.
Last night, Su Jinyue didn't eat much for dinner, and now it's already past ten o'clock, past breakfast time, and she's starving.
Su Jinyue clutched her stomach, never expecting to embarrass herself like this in front of Fu Cinian. Her face flushed with shame, and she dared not look at Fu Cinian's expression.
She hurriedly got out of bed, said "I'm going to wash up," and ran to the bathroom without looking back.
Fu Cinian, who was left behind, smiled and relaxed, whether because he had finally had a good night's sleep or because of the person in front of him, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
Even when Fu Cinian went to wash up, he was still smiling.
When Fu Cinian was brushing his teeth, he saw the transparent glass cup that Su Jinyue was using to brush her teeth and found it a bit of an eyesore.
When he saw Su Jinyue's pitifully small amount of toiletries while washing his face, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
When Fu Cinian went to change his clothes and saw that Su Jinyue's wardrobe in the dressing room was empty, with only a few clothes hanging on it, he was already at peace with himself.
After changing his clothes, Fu Cinian left the bedroom and walked into the living room. He saw Su Jinyue wandering around in the kitchen, seemingly thinking about what to cook.
He stepped forward and said, "No need to cook, I'll take you out to eat."
Su Jinyue thought about it and agreed. Fu Cinian must be hungry too. Even if they started cooking now, it would take a long time. It would be better to eat out.
When Fu Cinian changed his shoes before leaving the house, he noticed that Su Jinyue's shoes had faded from washing. He thought to himself that he should tell Assistant Lu to prepare some extra things for Su Jinyue.
Fu Cinian was off work today and drove himself. He didn't drive the car that almost hit Su Jinyue before, but instead drove an Audi.
"Jinyue, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Su Jinyue was sitting in the passenger seat when she heard Fu Cinian call her name. She was in a daze and it took her a while to hear herself answer.
"Mr. Fu, I'm fine with anything, you can decide."
Su Jinyue seemed to see Fu Cinian frown slightly, but upon closer inspection, he had a completely calm expression.
Fu Cinian took Su Jinyue to a restaurant near the neighborhood that served Kyoto-style food. Fu Cinian ordered a few dishes and then asked Su Jinyue to see if there was anything she wanted to eat.
Knowing that Fu Cinian had a sensitive stomach, Su Jinyue added a soup and didn't order anything else.
Perhaps it wasn't mealtime yet, because the dishes were served very quickly. Su Jinyue was also hungry, and although she had to maintain her image in front of Fu Cinian, she ate very quickly.
Fu Cinian was actually hungry, but he couldn't eat because of his headache. He forced himself to eat in order to prevent his body from collapsing.
After taking a nap, Fu Cinian found that he had a great appetite.
In the end, the two of them actually ate almost all the food on the table!
