Chapter 133 -133: If You Keep Moving We’ll Have a Kid
Once, when she was battered all over by Lin Yueqin, a little boy took her to buy some ointment.
In the pouring rain, he carefully and patiently applied the medicine to her, telling her to hide the ointment and money well so that no one would find out.
She obediently did as he said, and his medicine and money helped her through a dark and difficult childhood.
She couldn’t help but speak up, “Sheng Tingyuan, you remind me of a friend of mine.”
“Didn’t you say you don’t have any friends?”
“It was a friend from my childhood, but strictly speaking, maybe not a friend. I unilaterally considered him my friend.”
“Male or female?”
“Male.”
“First love?”
Ye Chuyi glared at him, “What are you thinking, it was purely a friendship.”
“I thought maybe another platonic male friend had come along.”
Ye Chuyi frowned, “What do you mean by ‘another’? Do I have a platonic male friend? How come I don’t know about it?”
“Didn’t you run away from marriage for three years?”
“I…”
Ye Chuyi opened her mouth and then shook her head helplessly.
Forget it, there was no way to explain without inadvertently revealing her identity.
Being misunderstood about having a platonic male friend was better than him finding out she was an imposter.
Sheng Tingyuan didn’t press the matter, though. He continued attentively applying ointment to her as if the previous conversation didn’t bother him.
Right, that was more like him.
After he finished applying the ointment, Ye Chuyi then realized, “Sheng Tingyuan, I still need to take a bath later, isn’t this application in vain?”
“It’s alright, you can apply it again after the bath. There’s plenty more ointment.”
Ye Chuyi shook her head, not realizing he could be such a patient person.
It seemed that high-end medical talents were indeed valuable to the young masters of wealthy families; she would have to take good care of her hands in the future. When her identity was eventually revealed, perhaps these hands could earn her a reprieve.
Sheng Tingyuan then handed her a bracelet, “I’ve also brought this over for you.”
Ye Chuyi took it, gently caressing it.
This was the imperial green jade bracelet given to her by Tang Jin, which she had not dared to wear and had kept at her bedside.
She didn’t expect Sheng Tingyuan to bring it over for her.
After handing her the bracelet, Sheng Tingyuan left the bedroom and went to the study.
Ye Chuyi didn’t mind him. She looked through the clothes in the wardrobe one by one, finding each piece beautiful and not even knowing which one to pick for the next day.
As a child, she always had no clothes to wear, mostly wearing Lin Yueqin’s old ones, which were neither fitting nor age-appropriate.
Tang Jin had prepared so many clothes for her, being so kind to her that she felt grateful yet somewhat melancholic.
If Tang Jin also found out she was an imposter one day, would she feel heartbroken and angry?
No, she dared not think about it. Thinking about it would keep her up at night.
Ye Chuyi closed the wardrobe and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When she came out of the bathroom, she found that Sheng Tingyuan had already bathed, changed into pajamas, and was lying in bed browsing his phone. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
She stood still for a long while, and Sheng Tingyuan looked at her, “Are you planning to stand and sleep all night?”
Ye Chuyi had no choice but to gather her courage, walk over, and get into bed.
“Reapply the ointment on your hand.”
“I already did it myself.”
“Let me see.”
Seeing that he didn’t believe her, Ye Chuyi reluctantly stretched her hand out for him to see, “I really did.”
If she didn’t, he would do it for her, and between the two options, it was better for her to do it herself.
Sheng Tingyuan saw that she really had applied it and let her be.
He turned off the light, ready to sleep.
However, half an hour later, the person beside him was tossing and turning, the rustling of the sheets causing him some distress.
To prevent accidentally touching something inappropriate like last time, he directly grabbed her wrist this time, “What’s the matter now? Did you drink an energy beverage?”
Ye Chuyi, with her wrist in his grasp, as if under a Binding Spell, immediately froze, “I’m just not used to having someone next to me.”
“Should I leave?”
“Thank you.”
“You really want me to leave.”
Sheng Tingyuan laughed at her response and teased her, “Continue tossing and turning without sleeping properly, and we’ll have to have a child.”
The trick worked marvelously, Ye Chuyi stayed still.
The world finally quieted down, and Sheng Tingyuan released her wrist and fell asleep.
But when he woke up the next morning, she was nowhere to be found by his side; it was only when he checked the adjacent bedroom that he discovered she had somehow moved there at some point.
