Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Why Is There Only One Blanket Left?

No need for Lu Youxi to answer, Zhou Shuyan said, "I don’t think that’s appropriate either. Youxue is older now, and even though he’s your brother, it’s not suitable for you two to sleep together."

"Of course I wouldn’t stay with Youxue," Lu Youxi widened her eyes, shocked that Zhou Shuyan could even speculate such a thing. Caught up in the moment, she temporarily forgot her shyness and looked up at Zhou Shuyan, "I know better than that. Youxue is so grown up, how could I possibly sleep with him?"

"Besides, if I slept with him and let my parents know, wouldn’t they find that strange?" Lu Youxi said, looking puffed up at Zhou Shuyan.

In the eyes of Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu, her relationship with Zhou Shuyan was going well; they were newlyweds after all.

Usually, because she stayed at school, they seldom had the chance to live together.

Now during her vacation, they finally had the chance to be together, but to not stay together would make her parents suspicious, wouldn’t it?

Zhou Shuyan looked like he was learning a lesson, "Indeed, I didn’t consider that thoroughly. Then you..."

This time, to avoid Zhou Shuyan recklessly guessing more unreliable ideas, Lu Youxi plucked up her courage and said, "How about... how about we sleep together?"

"That works," Zhou Shuyan said, seeing Lu Youxi’s face turn tomato-red, looking like she was about to explode, he couldn’t bear to tease her further.

Although he loved to tease Lu Youxi, enjoying watching her blush and stutter, he didn’t want to tease her too harshly.

Zhou Shuyan even took the initiative to say, "Don’t worry, I sleep very still and won’t move around once I’m asleep."

Lu Youxi nodded, walked to the wardrobe, opened it and said, "We’ll each use our own blanket, it’s fine."

The double bed wasn’t big, but if they each had their own blanket, they wouldn’t touch each other, making it less awkward.

"Okay," Zhou Shuyan nodded obediently at this time.

Being able to sleep in the same bed with Lu Youxi was already a big step forward; he wasn’t greedy.

But just as the word "okay" landed, Lu Youxi froze in front of the wardrobe.

"What’s wrong?" Zhou Shuyan got up and walked to the wardrobe, "Is the blanket too heavy?"

He had experienced the Lu Family’s blankets before.

The ones Lu Youxi bought in the Imperial Capital were very light.

But the ones Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo brought from their home to the Imperial Capital were very heavy.

It was indeed a bit difficult for a young girl like Lu Youxi to handle.

"It’s not that..." Lu Youxi was confused and looked inside the wardrobe, "Why is there only one blanket left?"

In Lu Youxi’s memory, the wardrobe was always quite full.

Although there weren’t many clothes, because she didn’t like to throw away old ones, keeping them for possible use, they were all kept.

There were many sheets and blankets for different seasons.

So, the already small wardrobe was always stuffed full.

But now, the wardrobe was half empty.

Not many clothes, and even fewer blankets—just one.

"Just a minute," Lu Youxi said to Zhou Shuyan and went to find Liu Yushu.

Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo were in their bedroom packing.

They packed a bit every day to avoid forgetting something after they left.

That would be a hassle to run all the way back.

Lu Youxi stood outside Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo’s bedroom door and called, "Dad, Mom, are you asleep?"

"Not yet," Liu Yushu got up to open the door, "We’re packing."

"Mom, why is there only one blanket left in my room?" Lu Youxi asked Liu Yushu.

"Oh, your dad and I went to the Imperial Capital before. We took some stuff with us including your blanket and left only one in your room," Liu Yushu explained, "Thinking it’s warm now, and you won’t need that many blankets, one should be enough."

After explaining, Liu Yushu asked, "What’s up? Isn’t one enough?"

"I thought Zhou Shuyan and I could each have one," Lu Youxi explained.

Hearing this, Liu Yushu laughed, "You two, why would you need one each? One blanket for the both of you is enough. Your dad and I use just one together."

Lu Youxi: "..."

"Do you have any extras here?" Lu Youxi still held a sliver of hope.

"No, didn’t you say to bring as much as we can to the Imperial Capital from here that we wouldn’t be using temporarily?" Liu Yushu said, "We figured we really don’t need that many blankets, so we brought them with us, leaving only one here."

Lu Youxi: "..."

"You really choose what you want to hear," Lu Youxi said helplessly, "I even said I bought new blankets in the Imperial Capital, and you didn’t need to bring them and occupy space."

"Oh, I just thought our blankets are still good, and we could continue to use them. Why spend money to buy new ones?" Liu Yushu explained, "Since we could take them, we took them to continue using, not minding the weight on the way."

"I’m going back to rest then, you should rest early too," Lu Youxi said, giving up.

"Alright, go rest, you’ve been tired all day," Liu Yushu urged, then added in a low voice, "Have a good rest tonight!"

Young people, missing out on one night’s activities isn’t a big deal.

However, Liu Yushu’s words were too subtle, and Lu Youxi didn’t grasp her implication.

She never thought about it that way, assuming Liu Yushu was reminding them to rest early, so she naturally nodded in agreement.

After Lu Youxi left, Liu Yushu closed the door and smiled at Lu Zhenguo, "I see Youxi and Xiao Zhou getting more and more natural together, they really seem like an old married couple."

"How can you tell?" Lu Zhenguo asked, puzzled.

"Didn’t I just tell Youxi and Xiao Zhou to rest early because they were tired today and not to do the usual newlywed things tonight?" Liu Yushu said, covering her mouth and giggling, "Youxi agreed so naturally, they must be very used to each other by now for her to react that way."

"That makes sense," Lu Zhenguo nodded.

Like an old married couple, they wouldn’t avoid such topics as they got older.

In their village, there were even some women who joked about these matters without any reservations.

Lu Youxi returned to the bedroom and upon entering, saw Zhou Shuyan leisurely sitting on the bed. The pillow that had initially been at the head of the bed was now propped against the headboard as a cushion. His posture was relaxed, casual, and natural as he leaned back, his legs crossed, reading a book under the bedside lamp.

Hearing the door open, he looked up, meeting Lu Youxi’s gaze straight on.

That sight made Lu Youxi pause in her steps.

Zhou Shuyan, in that moment, truly resembled a husband very accustomed to living with her.

Way too casual and natural.
