Chapter 123 - Why Don’t You Go Sleep In My Room?

“You wouldn’t say that when you view the bacteria under a microscope.” Song Chuyi turned and walked towards the bathroom to take a shower.

Changqing changed slowly by herself.

Although her fever had subsided, she still didn’t have much strength. After putting on a T-shirt, she realized it ended around her thighs and wearing a skirt would make sleeping uncomfortable. Besides, Song Chuyi didn’t like her wearing the clothes she wore at the hospital to sleep either.

After thinking about it, she took the skirt off.

Revealing her fair thighs made her quite embarrassed and she used a clean blanket to cover herself.

She wanted to wait for Song Chuyi to come out but she fell asleep not long after listening to the rushing sound of the water.

Song Chuyi came out after his shower. The thin blanket that was covering her was kicked all the way down to her waist. The black men’s tee contrasted with her snow-white skin and further down, he could tell she wasn’t wearing her bra from the faint shape of the little pea.

His profound eyes squinted slightly and he watched her for a while. He lay on the other side of the bed and covered her stomach with the blanket.

He had long been tired and the moment he lay down, the sleepiness kicked in. However, when he was fast asleep, he could faintly feel a warm body rolling on top of him.

He opened one eye slightly and saw the woman on top of him. He pulled the blanket up a little with all his might and fell back asleep within a second.

Both of them slept in and neither of them woke up the next morning. It was Robben, who started scratching on the door because he was starving, who roused them.

Song Chuyi opened his eyes. The woman sleeping on his chest was still fast asleep and didn’t seem like she would wake up.

He pushed her away lightly and got up to feed Robben.

The weather today wasn’t very good. It was drizzling outside and the sky was gloomy.

He took a look at the time. It was 10:30 am.

He was extremely unused to the jet lag and wanted to make breakfast at first, but he was still very tired so he went back to the room again.

When he was exhausted, his shut eyes were like zippers that were difficult to open.

However, not long later, he felt her small body moving in again and something was pressing on his waist horizontally.

At that moment, Changqing’s eyelashes fluttered open like butterfly wings. Her eyes were moist.

She first took a good look at the man beside her, then rubbed her eyes. After that, she felt a cooling sensation in a certain area.

She looked over towards the end of the bed and held her breath. What on earth happened?

She shrieked with a blushing face and quickly retracted her legs while looking for the blanket to cover up. She was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

“You… what did you do?” She buried her face into the blanket shyly.

Song Chuyi didn’t feel good all over either. It was a subconscious act when he was almost falling asleep. He wasn’t such a person at all in the past…

He clenched his teeth and walked to the bathroom. Right now, he was in need of a cold shower.

Changqing peeked out, looked at his back and retracted her long legs. She felt weird right now too. Actually, she was dreaming earlier. She dreamt about the two of them…

She covered her face, embarrassed to think on.

He came out after the shower and Changqing had also steadied her complicated feelings, sitting quietly at the edge of the bed, looking at her phone with her head down.

“Are you still feeling unwell?” Song Chuyi asked as he cleared his throat.

Changqing looked up at him with her amorous eyes and lowered them again, saying softly, “It’s much better than yesterday but my stomach doesn’t feel too good right now. I’m starving.”

“You basically vomited everything out yesterday. It’s normal to feel hungry, so I’ll make breakfast.” Song Chuyi walked out and opened the refrigerator. He hadn’t been back for a week and Auntie Wang hadn’t come over either. There were basically no groceries at home.

He thought for a while and made some porridge.

After he was done, he realized Changqing was still taking her sweet time in the washroom. She took her toothbrush and towel when she moved out and right now, she was wiping her teeth with her index finger as a replacement for her toothbrush, filling her entire mouth with toothpaste foam.

Song Chuyi pulled his towel from the rack and threw it to her. “Use this to wash your face. Come out quickly to have some porridge.”

He turned to go out. Changqing held the clean, sky blue towel in her hands and wet it with water. When she was wiping her face, it seemed as though her entire face was covered with Song Chuyi’s smell.

She came out after she finished washing up and there was just a simple bowl of lean meat porridge on the dining table. It wasn’t even garnished with spring onions and there was just a layer of sesame oil floating on top with a boiled egg at the side.

“Auntie Wang hasn’t been over recently. Make do with this for now.” Song Chuyi lowered his head to deshell an egg with full concentration.

Changqing felt her heart choking up. Did he not even ask Auntie Wang to come over the moment she left?

“Take your medicine after you’re done with breakfast,” Song Chuyi continued as though he didn’t care, “Are you resting today?”

“I’m filming in the afternoon.” Changqing ate a spoonful of the porridge. It was quite bland but it was simmered until it was thick.

He nodded. “When you were on your drip yesterday, your sister and brother-in-law came over to visit you.”

Changqing was in a daze. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

He glanced at her and remained silent.

Changqing stirred the porridge in the bowl. Just then, her phone in her room rang.

She went in to look for her phone and it happened to be a call from Yan Changxin. “Has your fever subsided?”

“Mm,” Changqing rubbed her eyes. “When are you going back to Beijing?”

“I booked an afternoon flight. Let’s have lunch together, just you and me,” Changxin said in a tone which allowed for no objections.

Changqing felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness. “Without Dad.”

“Without Dad.”

After hanging up, the porridge in Song Chuyi’s bowl was almost gone. Changqing was thinking about her sister’s tone just now and was perturbed. “You… what did you say to my Sis yesterday?”

Song Chuyi took another look at her with his calm and profound eyes and said, “I told her about our divorce.”

Changqing felt even more upset. She lowered her head and her eyes stung. “Do you really… want to divorce me so much?”

Song Chuyi looked at her trembling eyelashes and a secluded light flashed in his eyes.

She clenched her teeth tightly and her voice was soft and weak as though it came out from her nose. “Am I… so detestable… to you?”

She gripped onto the spoon tightly.

She knew herself. Appearance-wise, she wasn’t as beautiful as Guan Ying. Intelligence-wise, she wasn’t as smart as Ruan Yang. She wasn’t considerate and was also arrogant and willful. However, there should at least be something about her… worth being liked.

In the past, it was Fu Yu, and now, it was Song Chuyi.

Every time she felt like she could have someone she liked, heaven seemed to let her continue being alone mercilessly.

Song Chuyi looked at her with mixed feelings. In his mind, he was thinking about what Changxin said last night. Could she really like him?

However, if she did like him, then what was going on between her and Fu Yu?

He pressed his glabella and said as nicely as he could, “Changqing, I hope you can figure out what kind of life you want and even more, what kind of person you want to be with. I don’t want to hear you say that you’ve already forgotten Fu Yu but still hang around with him like you’re a couple. A few days before I ran into Guan Ying and Fu Yu at Sound of Snow, Guan Ying always had various excuses to say that she was busy, that she had to film, that she didn’t have time, but in the next moment, she pounced into Fu Yu’s embrace. I really don’t want something like this to happen to me a second time. However, if this goes on, it will only be a matter of time before it will happen a second time.”

“You don’t believe me?” Changqing looked at him blankly. “There’s nothing going on between me and Brother Fu Yu at all.”

“Nothing at all?” Song Chuyi sneered. “In Guan Ying’s ward, you knew I was around, yet you allowed him to pull you away. The two of you were together the entire night, right? You didn’t explain, there was no phone call, no message, no apology… Changqing, do you even have a little awareness as a wife?”

“I… it was because I wasn’t in a good mood that day,” Changqing explained with a pale face. “My mind was blank as well then. When I came back to my senses, I realized I was already in the outskirts. I had no choice but to have lunch with him. He then said that Auntie Shen had always wanted to see me. I only went to his villa to visit Auntie Shen. Auntie Shen is like a mom to me. She kept me for dinner and when night fell, it was raining heavily. It wasn’t good for me to drive, so I slept over there. However, I slept with Auntie Shen… I never thought of anything happening with Fu Yu.”

“You don’t, but he does.” Song Chuyi’s gaze subconsciously became severe. “Because there’s Shen Lu between the two of you and on top of that, you two grew up together, so your relationship with Fu Yu is even more complicated. In the future, Fu Yu will keep using Shen Lu as an excuse to see you. This is only the beginning right now. Changqing, you should ask yourself whether or not you want to get this divorce. My heart isn’t so big. If my uncle wasn’t getting a promotion now, I can’t guarantee that I wouldn’t do something uncontrollable to Fu Yu.”

He picked up the bowl and returned to the kitchen blankly after saying his last word.

Changqing looked at his back and suddenly thought back to his cold and ruthless look that day at the hospital. The way he fought was clear-cut and agile. It simply looked as though he fought often.

At that moment, she seemed to finally understand a little why he got along so well with Li Shaobin.

Even Li Shaobin listened to him so well.

They were either the same kind of person, or he was more ruthless than Li Shaobin in certain areas.

In a Chinese quadrangle-styled teahouse.

Changxin got out from the car and pushed the door to enter. Before she reached the suite, she saw Fu Yu, who was standing on a wooden platform with his hands behind him, watching goldfish. His reserved manner made him almost blend in with the greenery above him.

She took in a little breath and went up to him, stopping by his side.

“You’re here, so let’s go in,” Fu Yu said gently with his right arm stretched out as he turned around.

“I’m not going in, I’m meeting someone for lunch later. I just wanted to say a few words to you.” Changxin looked like she was in a difficult position but she clenched her teeth and said, “Fu Yu, please don’t look for Changqing again in the future, alright?”

Fu Yu looked deeply at her. That look was so sharp it seemed like he was going to prick through the depths of her soul.

Perhaps it was the sudden rush of the aura of a leader that made Changxin feel strange. She looked away subconsciously and said, “I know you can’t accept it because of what happened back then. Perhaps you feel that it was because of my Dad and your Mom who caused you and Changqing to separate, but you were the one who chose all the paths you took. Now that Changqing is married, no matter the reason for her marriage, what you’re doing now will affect their marriage. The two of them still want to live their lives together.”
