Chapter 1511: Sleep
Night fell.
Outside, the rain drizzled continuously.
The wind swayed gently as if singing a lullaby.
Dong Xuebing and Jiang Min sat on the bed inside the small wooden hut, enjoying their late-night snack. The scent of milk filled the air, creating a warm atmosphere.
"How's your child?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"Doing well, just a bit early to talk about relationships," Jiang Min replied.
"Well, getting married early is common nowadays. It's not a big deal," Dong Xuebing said.
"Whether it's a big deal or not, these kids nowadays have their ideas," Jiang Min sighed.
"Kids never like to listen to their parents. How about your spouse? How's their health?" Dong Xuebing inquired.
"Average. Constantly dealing with minor illnesses, so they didn't come with us this time," Jiang Min explained.
"You should take care of yourself too. I noticed your eyesight is quite poor," Dong Xuebing commented.
"Yeah, I have a bit of presbyopia. I need reading glasses for close work but must take them off for distance vision. Dealing with numbers in books all day is inevitable," Jiang Min said.
Ring, ring, ring.
Jiang Min's phone rang, and she retrieved it from her bag. After a brief conversation, she hung up.
"Your spouse is worried about you," Dong Xuebing remarked.
"Yeah, she's always worried about me, afraid that something might happen to me when I'm alone," Jiang Min replied.
"Well, you have me now. Let her rest assured. My skills might be unknown to you, but I can take him down from several meters away if there's ever a bad guy. Dealing with a few of them is no big deal," Dong Xuebing boasted.
"Alright, I'll rely on you to protect me," Jiang Min smiled.
Before long, they finished their late-night snack and exchanged a few more words. Dong Xuebing noticed Jiang Min yawning, indicating she was getting tired.
"It's almost ten o'clock. Let's rest," Dong Xuebing suggested.
Jiang Min nodded. "Yes, it's time to sleep. I rest around this time every day."
The room was also enveloped in moonlight.
Dong Xuebing was tempted by Teacher Jiang's large and intimidating chest and mature figure, but he didn't dare to have any thoughts about Teacher Jiang. So, he didn't just politely exchange a few words; he wanted to sleep on the floor or make do with the table. Now, seeing Teacher Jiang's shadow slowly approaching in the moonlight, her fleshy buttocks pressing down on the mattress with a "huh" sound, Dong Xuebing also felt highly uneasy. He always felt a bit inappropriate, and his body was quite stiff. So he squeezed against the wall again, facing her directly.
Tap, tap.
A woman's hand patted the thin blanket the waiter had brought, then lifted a corner and wrapped her hot body, clad in a bathrobe, inside.
Both of them lay on their pillows.
"Is it okay over there?" Dong Xuebing asked with concern.
Jiang Min adjusted her body for a while. "It's a bit precarious."
The bed was small to begin with, just a regular single bed. Two people sleeping on it were already quite cramped, and now their blanket was taking up some space. So, the space on the bed became even more cramped.
"How about I sleep outside?" Dong Xuebing suggested.
"No need, let me try lying on my side. Hmm, this is much better," Jiang Min replied.
Jiang Min turned to the other side with her back to Dong Xuebing, lying sideways. Although the space was tight, they wouldn't fall off.
"Okay, let's sleep."
"Goodnight, Teacher Jiang."
"Mm, goodnight."
A hand reached out in the moonlight, removing the glasses and placing them on the table.
Dong Xuebing closed his eyes, too, but his posture was awkward, and he couldn't get comfortable no matter how he tried. Ultimately, he couldn't fall asleep and opened his eyes again. Teacher Jiang probably hadn't slept in such a crowded space before either; it seemed she wasn't asleep either. Dong Xuebing could feel her adjusting her position a few times.
It was so narrow; their bodies would be pressed together, unavoidable.
Suddenly, something soft pressed against Dong Xuebing's leg, making him shiver involuntarily. He lowered his head to see Teacher Jiang's fleshy buttocks wrapped in the blanket. The summer blanket wasn't very thick, so it was pretty obvious. It felt like his thigh had sunk into a large piece of flesh. Dong Xuebing could almost feel the warmth of Teacher Jiang's buttocks under the blanket. He felt a tingling sensation in his heart, and his normal physiological reaction kicked in. Dong Xuebing quickly knocked his forehead, trying not to overthink. The buttocks disappeared from his leg in an instant.
There was nothing he could do.
"There's no way around it.
No matter how they adjusted, it was still cramped.
Dong Xuebing closed his eyes in torment. He dared not think anymore, hoping he wouldn't move around too much at night and accidentally kick Teacher Jiang off the bed."
