Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Why Don’t... You Sleep on the Bed as Well

The computer of the top student was even more efficient.

The key point was, Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu actually believed it.

Lu Zhenguo nodded, "Alright, since you’ve already bought it, let’s give it a try."

Relieved to have finally persuaded them, Lu Youxi exhaled, "Mom, what’s for dinner tonight? I’m hungry."

"Ah!" Liu Yushu clapped her hands, remembering, "Look at me, I was halfway through cooking and I forgot. I’ll go cook now, wait a bit!"

Liu Yushu hurried back to the kitchen.

After dinner, Lu Youxi suddenly realized a serious problem.

She and Zhou Shuyan had to share a room.

There were no spare rooms in the house, otherwise, they wouldn’t have converted the storage room for Lu Youxi to stay in.

After the Lu Family’s elders moved out, Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo moved into the elder’s room.

Their room was cleaned up and given to Lu Youxi to stay in.

Lu Youxue’s room remained the same.

The room originally belonging to Lu Youxi was not really a proper bedroom; after it became vacant, it reverted to functioning as a small storeroom.

And even if it hadn’t reverted to a storeroom, that small room was truly not suitable for living in, much less for Zhou Shuyan to use.

Moreover, in the eyes of Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo, Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan were husband and wife.

They had already shared the same bedroom in their home in the Imperial Capital; there was no need to live separately upon returning to Hexing Village.

However, the lodging conditions in Hexing Village did not compare to the Imperial Capital.

The apartment that Lu Youxi rented in the Imperial Capital was old, but the decor was much better than in Hexing Village.

It had heating in the winter, air conditioning in the summer, and the floors were covered with hardwood.

Zhou Shuyan, even if he slept on the floor at night, wouldn’t catch a cold, and with enough padding, it wouldn’t feel too hard.

Of course, sleeping on the bed was incomparable.

But it didn’t work out in Hexing Village.

In every household, it wasn’t customary to change shoes upon entering a house.

The floors were cement, hard and cold.

And the ground was dirty, covered with dust and shoe prints.

Lu Youxi’s bedroom was slightly better, but not by much.

After all, even if Lu Youxi liked cleanliness, as soon as someone else came in without changing shoes, a lot of dust would inevitably be carried into her room.

Therefore, Lu Youxi couldn’t bring herself to let Zhou Shuyan continue sleeping on the floor.

At night, when they returned to the bedroom, Lu Youxi hesitated, standing in the room, entangled in her dilemma.

Fortunately, she was now sleeping in the room previously occupied by Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu.

When Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo moved to the Lu Family elder’s bedroom, they left the bed in this room.

A double bed, at least it was somewhat spacious, not like the single bed in Lu Youxi’s old bedroom, which was pitifully small.

However, even this double bed was not the standard size sold in city department stores.

It was narrower.

If two people slept on the bed together, lying flat their arms would bump into each other.

Zhou Shuyan simply took a quick shower and came in, seeing Lu Youxi standing in the middle of the room lost in thought.

Zhou Shuyan misunderstood and smiled, "Not used to this bedroom?"

After the Lu Family’s elders left, Lu Youxi hadn’t really stayed here much and then she went off to the Imperial Capital.

So Zhou Shuyan thought Lu Youxi wasn’t quite accustomed to staying in the former bedroom of Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu.

Lu Youxi was standing in the center of the room, struggling mentally, deeply immersed in her own conundrum, not noticing Zhou Shuyan’s entrance.

When Zhou Shuyan’s voice suddenly filled the room, Lu Youxi was taken aback, snapping back to reality.

Only then did Zhou Shuyan realize Lu Youxi was in deep thought, and it wasn’t because she was uncomfortable with the room.

"What is it?" Zhou Shuyan asked, "What are you thinking?"

"That...," as Zhou Shuyan approached, Lu Youxi became visibly uncomfortable, instinctively stepping back a little before saying, "I was just thinking, it wouldn’t be suitable for you to sleep on the floor here."

Zhou Shuyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why wouldn’t it be suitable?"

"The ground here is too dirty for one, and it’s cold and damp. Even if you layer up the bedding, the chill will penetrate through," Lu Youxi explained, now somewhat too embarrassed to look at Zhou Shuyan.

Zhou Shuyan’s smile widened, his eyes curving slightly, warming his usually cold features.

"So where do you want me to sleep?" Zhou Shuyan noticed that Lu Youxi couldn’t bring herself to look at him, his eyes curling more intensely, the smile on his face becoming increasingly hard to hide.

But his voice remained innocent and full of question.

Unfortunately, Lu Youxi, with her head down, couldn’t see how mismatched his facial expression was with the tone of his voice.

"Ahem." Lu Youxi cleared her throat nervously and awkwardly.

The lighting in the room wasn’t very bright; to save electricity, the wattage of the light bulbs wasn’t very high.

But Lu Youxi’s skin, under the slightly yellowish light, shone brightly, reflecting a glossy sheen with different angles.

At the moment Lu Youxi thought of something, her cheeks flamed as if they had been scorched by fire, so brightly that they seemed to dazzle the already dim bedroom.

"Or...," Lu Youxi’s fingers trembled as she pointed weakly toward the bed nearby, "you can sleep on the bed too?"

Lu Youxi thought to herself, she wasn’t afraid to share a bed with Zhou Shuyan.

How could she, a mature woman who had lived up to 38 years old in her previous life, be afraid of the younger Zhou Shuyan?

Ha! What a joke!

She wasn’t afraid of Zhou Shuyan, nor was it shyness.

What she feared was that Zhou Shuyan might overthink, that Zhou Shuyan would misunderstand her intentions.

As if she wanted to take advantage of the situation to take advantage of Zhou Shuyan.

Right, she was concerned about that, not about being shy or anything.

Thinking this, Lu Youxi quickly followed up with an explanation, "Don’t get the wrong idea! I was just thinking, the apartment in the Imperial Capital, sleeping on the floor might be hard, but it isn’t cold. Here it’s different, if you really sleep on the floor overnight, you might get sick, so that’s why I’m suggesting you sleep on the bed."

Zhou Shuyan watched Lu Youxi intently, but she didn’t dare meet his gaze, naturally missing the warmth and humor in his eyes.

"I’m not overthinking," Zhou Shuyan said in a smooth voice, like a cup of warm water sweetened with honey, just the right temperature to make a person comfortably squint their eyes, with the taste of honey lingering sweetly in the mouth.

"If I sleep on the bed, where will you sleep?" Zhou Shuyan asked softly, "Surely, you’re not going to worry about me getting sick from sleeping on the floor, offer me the bed, and then end up sleeping on the floor yourself?"

"I... definitely can’t sleep on the floor," Lu Youxi stuttered, her face flushed.

A guess formed in Zhou Shuyan’s mind, the smile in his eyes growing richer.

It was as if the mirth was about to spill from his slightly curved eyes.

"So you’re planning to squeeze in with Youxue?" Zhou Shuyan knew his suspicion, yet deliberately asked this way.
