Chapter 255: Chapter 255: But I Don’t Want to Resort to Tricks When It Comes to You

He also said that she had just posed in a docile manner, waiting.

She certainly hadn’t!

Lu Youxi, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed, retorted in her mind.

After a while, she heard Zhou Shuyan say, "I don’t want to offend you."

"I’m afraid you’ll think I’m too hasty and have a bad impression of me."

Lu Youxi’s face turned red, but she slowly opened up the blanket, letting it fall on her shoulder.

"We’ve known each other for so long, my impression of you is already quite complete," Lu Youxi murmured.

The implication was that she probably wouldn’t have a bad impression of him.

From under the bed came the sound of the blanket rubbing, as if Zhou Shuyan had moved a bit. She heard him ask, "So, do you want me to continue?"

"Good night!" Lu Youxi bit out.

This man, he had just stopped continuing, and now he’s teasing her!

"Youxi," Zhou Shuyan called out again.

Lu Youxi was too embarrassed and annoyed to respond to him.

"Youxi," Zhou Shuyan called out again.

This time, there was a hint of helplessness in his voice, as well as a pleading look.

Lu Youxi’s heart softened, "What is it?"

"You agreed, right?" Zhou Shuyan asked uncertainly, "We’re not getting divorced."

Lu Youxi thought to herself, hadn’t he just said that her silence meant agreement?

Zhou Shuyan explained, "I took advantage before, knowing you couldn’t answer at that moment."

Zhou Shuyan paused and said, "It was also because I was too nervous, afraid you would reject me, so I said it to myself, to encourage myself."

"But to you, I don’t want to resort to those little tricks," Zhou Shuyan said as he lay flat, looking at the ceiling.

From time to time, the ceiling reflected the light and shadow of passing car headlights.

He paused nervously for a moment before asking, "Youxi, will you agree?"

Zhou Shuyan waited nervously for a long while, nearly getting up to see Lu Youxi’s expression.

"Mhm," Lu Youxi finally responded, "For now... we won’t get divorced."

Zhou Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a big weight lift from his heart, and then he asked, "For now?"

"If you don’t behave well, we’ll divorce," Lu Youxi declared.

Zhou Shuyan genuinely laughed, "Of course."

Even couples who go through the proper process to get married may divorce for many reasons.

If he behaved poorly, being divorced would be deserved.

"Good night," Zhou Shuyan said, "go to sleep early."

Lu Youxi had been busy all day and would have to sign a cooperation agreement with the school tomorrow.

Lu Youxi: "..."

He got her all worked up like this and now tells her good night, to sleep early?

She needs to be able to fall asleep too!

If this man can just say sleep and sleep, she’d definitely kick him awake.

So after a while, Lu Youxi secretly glanced at her phone, half an hour had passed, and she whispered, "Zhou Shuyan."

"Hmm?" Zhou Shuyan immediately responded.

"Did you fall asleep?" Lu Youxi asked.

Zhou Shuyan sighed helplessly, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep tonight."

Not only was he wide awake, but he was also excited.

The corners of Lu Youxi’s mouth curled up slightly.

So it wasn’t just her who couldn’t sleep.

That man had a conscience after all.

Lu Youxi’s heart felt a lot more balanced.

After a while, it was Zhou Shuyan’s turn to call her, "Youxi."

"Hmm?" Lu Youxi responded promptly.

"Can’t you sleep either?" Zhou Shuyan asked.

"It’s... it’s okay," Lu Youxi didn’t want to admit defeat, "I was almost asleep just now."

Zhou Shuyan smiled without exposing her lie.

He had long known that the young girl liked to save face.

"Youxi," he called again.

"What’s the matter now?"

"Can I... come up to bed to sleep?" Zhou Shuyan took the opportunity to ask, "The floor is really quite hard."

"..." Lu Youxi said without hesitation, "Why didn’t you find it hard before?"

"It was also hard," Zhou Shuyan’s voice was pitiful, "I just bore it without saying anything."

"So you’re not bearing it today?" Lu Youxi asked again.

Zhou Shuyan was silent for a moment, then called out in a coquettish manner, "Youxi..."

Hadn’t she already agreed not to divorce him?

How could she have the heart to let him continue to sleep on the floor?

After a while, with no response from Lu Youxi,

Zhou Shuyan was about to give up.

Then there came the rustling sound of movement from the bed.

Lu Youxi moved her pillow further in, and she scooted towards the wall, "Come up."

"Bring your blanket and pillow," Lu Youxi added, "We’ll use separate blankets."

"Okay," Zhou Shuyan’s voice contained evident joy.

Within two seconds, and God knows how he moved so fast,

Lu Youxi found Zhou Shuyan lying next to her.

This single bed was rather cramped for two people to begin with.

Now both lying flat, their arms were pressed tightly together.

At least there was a blanket between them.

Lu Youxi could only feel Zhou Shuyan’s arm, their body heat blocked by the blanket.

"Good night," Zhou Shuyan said happily.

"Good night..." Lu Youxi thought about how many times they had both said it tonight.

And yet they still hadn’t fallen asleep.

With Zhou Shuyan by her side, Lu Youxi was too nervous to sleep.

Fortunately, Zhou Shuyan didn’t speak to her again.

To lessen the presence of Zhou Shuyan and to make their sleeping positions a bit more comfortable, she turned her back to him, facing the wall.

Out of sight, out of mind.

She didn’t expect Zhou Shuyan to be so respectful.

Even though she turned to give him some space, he didn’t come closer.

Lu Youxi still couldn’t fall asleep with her eyes closed, occasionally opening them to peek.

Unexpectedly, the outside sky finally brightened.

The originally pitch-black sky turned a shade of blue.

Birds on the branches woke up and started chirping.

Lu Youxi stealthily reached out for her phone at the edge of the pillow.

It was nearly five o’clock.

Lu Youxi thought to herself that if she endured for another hour and a half, she could get up.

Although 6:30 am was still a bit early, it wasn’t too unusual.

So she closed her eyes again and waited.

She didn’t know how long she waited, but Zhou Shuyan behind her moved first.

Lu Youxi felt the place behind her lighten, then heard the sound of Zhou Shuyan getting out of bed.

She didn’t know if Zhou Shuyan, like her, hadn’t slept at all during the night.

After a while, the sound of the shower came from the bathroom.

Lu Youxi kept her eyes closed, not daring to open them.

Because she hadn’t figured out how to face Zhou Shuyan yet.

Although she hadn’t planned to go back on her agreement to Zhou Shuyan,

she was a little... shy, and she didn’t really have the courage to face Zhou Shuyan at the moment.

Then, she heard the sound of Zhou Shuyan changing clothes, and after he left, Liu Yushu’s and Zhou Shuyan’s voices conversed outside. Only then did Lu Youxi get up.

She hurriedly changed clothes and went to the bathroom. After washing up and looking at her face, she saw the bags under her eyes were alarmingly dark.
