Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Sacrificing Image Too Much Just to Sleep with Wife

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Lu Youxi’s mind, and she figured out why the embrace felt so familiar.

Zhou Shuyan was holding her just like a pillow while sleeping, wasn’t he?

Lu Youxi finally took a deep breath and completely relaxed.

This meant that Zhou Shuyan was so sound asleep that his mind wasn’t clear, and he had no idea what he was doing.

If Zhou Shuyan were awake, he wouldn’t hold her like a pillow, right?

Just as Lu Youxi was mumbling to herself, Zhou Shuyan suddenly turned over while still holding her.

The two of them shifted from one lying on their back and the other lying on top, to facing each other on their sides.

But even then, Zhou Shuyan did not let go of her.

Instead, he intensified the embrace by lifting one leg and placing it over hers.

Lu Youxi: "!!!"

If there had been any doubt before, now Lu Youxi was completely sure that Zhou Shuyan was treating her as a pillow!

Lu Youxi thought she’d never expected that Zhou Shuyan had a habit of sleeping while holding a pillow.

Thankfully, Zhou Shuyan didn’t know what Lu Youxi was thinking.

To hold his wife while sleeping and sacrifice his image seemed too great a price.

Lu Youxi was held by Zhou Shuyan, her face buried in his chest.

Her cheek rested against the warmth of Zhou Shuyan’s chest, the heat evident even through his pajamas.

His heartbeat, strong and thumping, reached her ears.

Zhou Shuyan’s chin rested on the top of Lu Youxi’s head, and with every slight movement, his chin would brush against the fluffy hair on her head, breathing in the fragrance of her hair.

Every slight movement by Zhou Shuyan made Lu Youxi uncontrollably tense up.

And Zhou Shuyan seemed utterly unaware of it.

While he slept, he occasionally brushed the fluffy hair on her head.

Poor Lu Youxi couldn’t fall asleep in Zhou Shuyan’s arms.

Lu Youxi opened her eyes, batting her eyelashes which swept across Zhou Shuyan’s pajamas in front, making a subtle rustling noise.

With her face against Zhou Shuyan’s chest, she felt the rise and fall of his breathing, rhythmic and steady, unlike her own heartbeat which was unnervingly fast.

This man slept so well, yet kept her awake.

As Lu Youxi was inwardly complaining, she suddenly felt a particularly soft and warm touch on the top of her head.

Lu Youxi stiffened all over.

Could it be... She hadn’t felt wrong, had she?

Lu Youxi waited for a while, but didn’t notice any other movements from Zhou Shuyan.

Maybe he had really fallen asleep, completely unaware of what he was doing.

Lu Youxi thought irritably, his movements were so habitual, couldn’t it be that he often did this?

Thinking this made Lu Youxi’s heart flop angrily, almost shaking Zhou Shuyan awake to demand what was going on.

While Lu Youxi’s thoughts were in disarray, she finally fell asleep without realizing how much time had passed.

In the morning, Zhou Shuyan woke up feeling his arm heavily pressed, not too comfortable, and slightly frowned upon awakening.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Lu Youxi, who was unconsciously sleeping in his arms.

Zhou Shuyan looked down and saw the peaceful and obedient look on Lu Youxi’s sleeping face, unable to resist, he smiled and didn’t move.

He remembered how Lu Youxi ended up in his arms last night.

Last night, he pretended to be drunk, leaned on Lu Youxi all the way back, and after lying down, he still heard Lu Youxi tentatively questioning him.

He probably acted too convincingly, and Lu Youxi, thinking he was completely drunk, began staring at him, not knowing that he knew.

But Zhou Shuyan wasn’t drunk, so how could he not know?

Instead, it was himself, being stared at by Lu Youxi, who almost couldn’t hold back.

At that moment, Zhou Shuyan thought, if Lu Youxi kept staring like this, he didn’t know if he could restrain himself.

Zhou Shuyan really feared he couldn’t control himself, so he decided to open his eyes, scare Lu Youxi a bit, and make her stop staring.

Who knew that would end up scaring Lu Youxi right into his arms.

Zhou Shuyan himself didn’t know why, but he ended up holding Lu Youxi and couldn’t bear to let go.

But fortunately, he restrained himself and did not take advantage of the situation while she was vulnerable and he was ’drunk.’

He was quite persistent about that.

Otherwise, he would have despised himself.

But he still couldn’t resist indulging a bit by holding Lu Youxi while sleeping.

Initially, he thought to just hold her for a while, secretly satisfy himself, then let go.

But as he continued to hold her, he really fell asleep, and even in his sleep, his grip did not loosen, as if afraid he might lose her.

He only woke up earlier because of the numbness and discomfort in his arm.

He looked down at Lu Youxi, her face pressed against his chest, her lips, squeezed red, slightly parted with soft breaths permeating through his pajamas onto his chest skin.

Lu Youxi must have had good quality sleep, as her face was blushingly rosy.

Her cheeks were a bright red, which made the rest of her skin exceptionally white.

As Zhou Shuyan was looking down, the skin beneath Lu Youxi’s collar suddenly entered his line of sight unexpectedly.

Lu Youxi’s pajama was just the usual pure cotton set, top and pants.

The buttons were properly fastened, but inevitably, while she slept, with also being held by him, the pajama’s neckline got a bit deformed.

A hint of something like marshmallow peeked through.

Zhou Shuyan took a sharp breath, hastily let go of Lu Youxi, and lay back flat, but also didn’t dare to breathe deeply for fear of waking her.

Zhou Shuyan quickly turned over, his back to Lu Youxi.

After a good while, probably because Zhou Shuyan’s gripping strength had disappeared, Lu Youxi felt a lightness over her whole body and also woke up.

She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Shuyan’s back facing her sleeping.

Probably during the middle of the night, he had unconsciously changed positions.

Lu Youxi quickly got up and crawled under the covers, pretending as if nothing had happened.

A short while later, Zhou Shuyan breathed out gently and carefully before sitting up.

At this moment, Lu Youxi, hidden under the covers, was too nervous and embarrassed to fall asleep, and she heard the rustling noises behind her.

Then, she heard Zhou Shuyan’s softened footsteps heading towards the bathroom.

Followed by the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing, Lu Youxi then dared to open her eyes.

Seizing the opportunity while Zhou Shuyan was in the bathroom, Lu Youxi quickly hid under the covers, rustling as she changed her clothes.

Changing clothes under the covers was not easy. After managing to change, she lifted the covers, her entire body exhausted, breathing hurriedly.

When Zhou Shuyan came out, he saw that Lu Youxi had even changed her clothes, slightly surprised, then said in a nonchalant manner, "You’re awake."

"Yes," Lu Youxi blushed and got out of bed, pointing towards the bathroom, "Are you done? If you’re not using it, I’m going to wash up."
