“You’re up so early?” Song Anchen raised his arm and covered his forehead. With his other hand, he brought Yisheng closer and said lazily, “Did you have a dream just now? Why are you laughing so slyly?”
Yisheng hurriedly denied it, saying guiltily, “I didn’t, you were dreaming.”
“Is that so?” Song Anchen tightened his embrace and brought Yisheng into his arms. He lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance in her hair, muttering, “Wife, I had a dream just now.”
“Hm? What did you dream of?” Yisheng’s face turned red instantly and she used both her hands to press against Song Anchen’s body, very embarrassed.
“I’ll tell you if you call me hubby,” Song Anchen’s hand started to move around on Yisheng’s back. It caused Yisheng to turn even redder. She gritted her teeth and heard the strong heartbeat by her ear. It was very irregular. She felt confused, her heart was beating faster, but why was Song Anchen’s heart beating so fast as well?
“Hubby,” Yisheng hid shyly in Song Anchen’s arms, asking in a small voice, “What kind of dream did you have?”
“Hmm…” Song Anchen suddenly flipped over and pressed down on her, narrowing his eyes with an extremely ambiguous expression. Yisheng suddenly realized that she had been tricked. What he said did not refer to his dream, instead, it was something he wanted! Yisheng blushed even more.
“About something I love doing,” Song Anchen started to move and started to do what he liked doing.
“You’ll be tired at work later,” Yisheng maintained her rationality with much difficulty. She was never calm when it came to Song Anchen. Along with his techniques, she no longer had any ability to resist.
“Then you can eat me,” Song Anchen said that, but continued to press down on her. Yisheng looked at him dully, pitifully motioning for him to get down.
“The next time,” He said vaguely.
Song Anchen ignored Yisheng’s signals and injected a ‘needle’. Song Anchen’s skill with injection was extremely perfect and merciless. Yisheng waved her hands and Song Anchen had five more bloody nail marks on his back instantly. Nurse Ye’s skill was not bad too.
This so-called making love was just a matter of bedside violence. After the matter, it was simply planting hickeys.
***
Just as Yisheng had said, Song Anchen had really tired himself out. It was partly due to lack of sleep, and partly due to the intensity of the ‘morning exercise’. On the way to work, Song Anchen had one hand on the steering wheel and would occasionally press on his forehead with his other hand.
Yisheng saw this and did not know what to say at that moment. When the two of them went their separate ways for work, Song Anchen instructed her, “When you get off work these few days, there’s no need to wait for me. You can head home first.”
“Okay,” Yisheng agreed, but she felt empty inside, a little sad. They were spending quite a lot of time apart now.
Zhao Jixiang was currently lovelorn, so Yisheng had to spend a lot of time comforting her. Zhao Jixiang looked at Yisheng with pitiful eyes, “Yisheng, after work, come with me to the bar to drink.”
Yisheng was quite sensitive to the word ‘bar’, and she truly did not dare to go, But when she saw how pitiful and sad Zhao Jixiang looked, her heart softened and she reluctantly agreed.
Yisheng had to admit that Zhao Jixiang’s condition was very bad. She needed a few tries to find the blood vessel when she was injecting patients, causing so much pain that the patients complained to the Head Nurse. Zhao Jixiang endured it at first, but after she got scolded many times, she could not help crying, which caused the Head Nurse to be at a loss about what to do.
Zhao Jixiang had become so fragile because of a man.
After work, Zhao Jixiang couldn’t wait to drag Yisheng to the bar to drink and express her sadness. Yisheng could only stand at the side and watch as Zhao Jixiang drink one cup after another. The bar was quite classy, and the people that came and left were all wearing very beautiful clothes. Yisheng let her guard down a little.
She watched as Zhao Jixiang sat at the bar and drank several glasses of brandy. She was also getting a little drunk. Yisheng pulled the cup Zhao Jixiang was trying to drink from away from her, “That’s enough, you have to stop before it’s too much, it’ll hurt your stomach.”
“Yisheng, Xiao Zhuozi told me that when we broke up in the past, one night, Song Anchen and he drank two bottles of brandy each,” Zhao Jixiang sobbed, “he said that he was in a lot of pain and he hated me. He blamed me for abandoning him.”
Yisheng pursed his lips, wanting to comfort Zhao Jixiang when Zhao Jixiang suddenly pointed at Yisheng and said, “Xiao Zhuozi said that we were the same kind of people. Both of us liked to abandon others and escape,” Zhao Jixiang hiccupped, then said, “Xiao Zhuozi complained that I always compared him to Song Anchen. The hell, I’m being polite when I compared him to a prince. How can he compare to Song Anchen? Yisheng, you treated Song Anchen like that, causing him to be so upset that he drank so much and had to be hospitalized, almost dying, but he’s still loyal to you. Not only has he never touched another girl’s hand, but he also did not even look at other girls. And what about him? He f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g̲ finds another woman to comfort him, saying that he was feeling hopeless and did not know what to do, wanting to find a woman to heal him? And that woman just happened to jump into his arms? He’s f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g̲ good at finding excuses. There were so many women throwing themselves at Song Anchen, why didn’t he find one too?”
Yisheng was a little shocked. She did not know that Song Anchen had gone to the hospital before, and had even almost died.
Zhao Jixiang wiped her nose and said angrily, “Yisheng, why do you have such a good life? How did you find such a pure man and why did I meet such a scummy man?”
“You’re drunk,” Yisheng took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Zhao Jixiang, motioning for her to wipe her nose with the tissue instead. Zhao Jixiang took the tissue and used both her hands to press it on her nose, blowing her nose hard before she threw the tissue on the ground, grabbing Yisheng’s shoulders, “Does Song Anchen have an older brother or a younger brother? Introduce one to me.”
“He’s an only child,” Yisheng sighed, “Jixiang, pull yourself together.”
“Aren’t I pulling myself together if I find another?” Zhao Jixiang hiccupped, looking at Yisheng dazedly. Zhao Jixiang suddenly covered her mouth and ran for the bathroom, her body unsteady. Yisheng had wanted to follow behind, but she saw that Zhao Jixiang was running quickly and seemed to be decently sober, so she did not follow. However, she was feeling strange.
Why did Song Anchen drink so much in the past? Was it because of her?
Just when she was engrossed in her thoughts, a woman sat down in the bar seat next to her. She leaned against the bar on one hand, the other hand casually resting on the bar counter. She said with a smile, “Hello.”
Yisheng took a glance at her. She knew this woman. The world was truly so small, she had once again met this wild woman. Yisheng responded, “What a coincidence.”
“It’s really such a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you again,” The woman could not help but show a thought-provoking smile when she saw the several glasses of emptied alcohol. “You have a high alcohol tolerance, you’re not drunk despite drinking so much.”
“I came here with a friend, she’s the one who drank all of these.”
“Oh? That’s interesting, I came with a friend as well,” The wild woman chuckled, “But the last time I saw your husband, he was perfect. In terms of his looks, his figure, or his personality. I like it all,” There was burning admiration in her eyes.
Yisheng’s expression instantly turned bad. When faced with someone coveting her man, she felt a sense of crisis and uneasiness. This woman had enough enthusiasm, which was something she could not compete with. Her whole body exuded a sense of superiority, and the only thing that Yisheng could compete with her in was the fact that she got to know Song Anchen first and got together with him first. However, this woman showed some disdain, as if she did not mind being a third party in their relationship as long as she could get him.
Yisheng was a little angry, and her expression was dark as she said, “You can find someone better.”
“No, I’ve been dating around for many years, your husband is a perfect guy in my eyes.”
(T/N: The ‘your husband…’ part was originally in English in the raw.)
Towards the woman suddenly speaking English, Yisheng was noticeably stunned for a moment. Of course, she could understand it, but she was stunned at how ‘trendy’ this wild-looking woman was.
The wild woman shrugged and stretched out her hand, introducing herself in a friendly manner, “My name is Judy, I’m a French-born Chinese.”
Yisheng saw that her face was innocent, and she did not look like she had ulterior motives. But when she talked about Song Anchen just now, her eyes projected a stinging and burning heat that made Yisheng feel worried.
She hesitated and was just about to shake Judy’s hand and introduce herself when there was a voice that sounded not far away from them, “Judy, you’re so early today.”
Judy smiled pleasantly at the person behind Yisheng and said, “I met the wife of the perfect person I saw that day,” Yisheng turned her head at the appropriate moment to smile at the person behind her.
However, both of them stiffened. Lin Ruohan’s smile instantly disappeared and what took its place was disdain, “Ye Yisheng, what a coincidence!”
“Ah? She’s Ye Yisheng?” Judy was shocked, “Ruohan, this is the Ye Yisheng that harmed you?”
