Chapter 174
After eating and drinking their fill, and having sat in the car for so long today, Chu Yang was feeling a bit drowsy and didn't pay attention to Chi Yan's little gestures.
Chi Yan, full and warm, began to indulge in those thoughts, starting with kisses—kissing her forehead and cheeks. Chi Yan was quite restless, becoming a big wolf pup. His hands were constantly stroking Chu Yang's hair, which was very smooth and easy to brush through.
Originally, Chu Yang was nestled in Chi Yan's embrace, but now she was lying on the sofa. She was wearing a dress with a cardigan today, a typical fairy-like outfit, though now it seemed to have taken on a disheveled appearance. Chi Yan really liked this look on her...
After a long while, Chu Yang felt a bit tired, opened her eyes, and glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already past nine.
Chu Yang pushed him, "Time to shower."
Chi Yan rested his head on her shoulder, "Yeah, but... wait a bit."
Chu Yang's entire body looked as if it had been painted with rouge, "Let's just go shower."
Chi Yan raised his head pitifully to look at her, while Chu Yang averted her gaze, as if saying, "It's not my fault, don't look at me, I don't know anything."
Suddenly, Chi Yan started laughing, stood up, and picked Chu Yang up... even twirling her around once.
Chu Yang: ???Her expression asked what he was doing.
Chi Yan just smiled, not saying a word, and then Chu Yang understood.
Chu Yang's eyes instantly widened as she stared at him. She was about to refuse, but then she remembered the scenes she had seen when she traveled back in time, and looking at Chi Yan's joyful expression now, she ended up not refusing him after all.
They loved each other, were boyfriend and girlfriend, and had been together for so long. It seemed alright, so she decided not to refuse!
After a while, Chi Yan carried the exhausted Chu Yang out, but he was still unsatisfied, and the two headed back to the bedroom to continue... Chu Yang suddenly remembered something and forcefully pushed him away, "No! Not happening."
Chi Yan realized it too, immediately getting up to fetch some clothes, "I'll go buy them! Wait for me."
Chi Yan rushed out in a hurry. On the way, the security guard asked him what he was up to. "Buying some things."
The security guard found it strange. What did he need to buy so late at night? After thinking about it, he understood. Ah, I see, I get it.
When Chi Yan returned, the security guard said, "You could have just asked me, you know!"
Chi Yan muttered a few words.
Security guard: ???Mind your manners?
By the time they were mostly done, they were both tired and sat on the couch to rest. The TV was on, playing the latest variety show. Chu Yang lay down, resting her head on Chi Yan, watching TV while he carefully stroked her hair, which was quite long and easy to brush through.
Chu Yang also realized her hair had gotten a bit too long and difficult to manage. "I'll go to the hair salon to get it trimmed a bit tomorrow."
"Yeah. I'll go with you."
"Okay."
While watching TV, Chu Yang felt sleepy again and let out a big yawn.
Chi Yan checked the time—it was past one o'clock. "Want to take a nap?"
Chu Yang nodded.
Chi Yan carried her to the bedroom, but still went to get her some pajamas to change into first.
The two embraced each other as they napped. Outside, it was hot, but the air conditioning inside was set to a comfortable 26 degrees Celsius, just a bit cool.
Since they had nothing else to do, they ended up not wanting to get up. Although they woke up once during that time, neither of them got out of bed. Gradually, when they woke up again, holy crap! It was already dark outside!
Chu Yang opened her eyes to a pitch-black room. She tapped Chi Yan beside her, "Chi Yan, what time is it?"
Chi Yan checked his phone, "...7 p.m."
Chu Yang: "..."
Silence...
After a while, Chi Yan spoke up, "Should we cook or order takeout?"
Chu Yang agreed immediately, "Let's order takeout, it's too late to start cooking now."
"Okay, let me see what to get."
"Mmhmm."
After the takeout arrived and they finished eating, it was already almost nine o'clock. Just like that, the day had passed. More importantly, because they had slept so much during the day, neither of them could fall asleep that night.
It was past eleven, and Chu Yang was still reading The Black Magic, while Chi Yan was working on his laptop, occasionally stepping out onto the balcony to take a call. It seemed to be work-related, as he was muttering professional terms like games, planning, promotion, and so on.
After hanging up, Chi Yan looked at Chu Yang, who was still reading, "Chu Yang, it's getting late. Shall we go wash up and then sleep?"
