Chapter 34: Have You Caught A Cold Part 1

Seeing that there was only one bed in the room, they looked at each other, but no one said anything. Obviously, they didn’t know what to do.

Ye Sui spoke first to break the awkwardness, “There is only one bed.”

“Hmm.” Chen Shu nodded.

Ye Sui was distressed. She naively thought that if she and Chen Shu came here, they could still sleep separately. But the reality hit her hard.

Did she really have to sleep in the same bed with Chen Shu tonight? What should she do?

Ye Sui suddenly thought of something. “Maybe there is another mattress and quilt in the cabinet.”

She walked quickly to the front of the cabinet and opened it, but her beautiful fantasy was ruthlessly broken. There was no quilt or mattress; thus, the possibility of two people sleeping in separate beds was utterly smashed.

Chen Shu noticed Ye Sui’s smile a while ago was gone, and now she came back with a sad face.

Chen Shu said, “If it is really not feasible, let’s talk about it with the aunt.”

Ye Sui refused. “No, I can’t let my mother know.” The two were nominally husband and wife. If Yan Lan knew the truth, she would worry again.

She could only accept reality. Wasn’t it just a night’s sleep? And Chen Shu was good; she fully trusted his character.

Ye Sui glanced at Chen Shu. Maybe in his eyes, she was the one who would take advantage of him.

In addition, she also thought that Chen Shu had concerns toward her, that she would make advances in the middle of the night, combined with her previous deeds of taking advantage of his hand.

Ye Sui looked Chen Shu, somewhat embarrassed. “I move around a lot in sleep; do you mind sleeping with me?”

Chen Shu felt funny: “I have no problem, and you?”

“Of course. I don’t mind either,” Ye Sui said, in a hurry. The night was getting deeper and deeper. After showering, Ye Sui, wearing pajamas, did not dare to look at Chen Shu. She quickly got into the quilt and lay in it.

Chen Shu silently thought that just now, she was the one who said not to worry.

Chen Shu also opened the quilt and got in. He held out his hand and pressed the lamp switch. The light went out, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

Ye Sui was lying on her side. She curled up and faced the wall. Chen Shu lay on the bed with one hand behind his head and looked at the ceiling, his mood indiscernible.

In the same bed, two people had different thoughts running through their minds.

In the dark, their breathing was peaceful. Outside the window, the quiet moonlight was illuminating the floor and enlighten those subtle unknown thoughts.

Ye Sui suddenly said, “Chen Shu, are you asleep?”

“No.”

Ye Sui sighed, “I can’t sleep.” In this strange place, even if Ye Sui was familiar with Chen Shu—while lying beside him—she was not used to it.

Chen Shu did not speak. After a while, his voice sounded in the darkness. “Aren’t you tired after walking outside all day?”

When Chen Shu mentioned this, Ye Sui felt as if she was really quite exhausted, and when she thought about it, she felt sleepy. Ye Sui said softly, “Good night.”

Ye Sui’s breathing became slow and calm. Chen Shu knew that she was asleep.

Chen Shu was also not used to sleeping with people. He felt strange, but if this person was Ye Sui, he unexpectedly wasn’t as opposed to this notion.

Chen Shu’s sleeping posture was normal. But he couldn’t bear the presence of someone with unusual habits. After falling asleep, this person loved to roll.

Ye Sui turned over, subconsciously wanting to find a comfortable place to nest. She aimed at the object that she thought was safe and then stuck it on one end.

Ye Sui’s head was buried in Chen Shu’s neck, and her breathing was close to his ears. The faint scent of her body also burst out and overwhelmed his senses.

Chen Shu’s body was stiff. In the silent darkness, he clearly felt his heartbeat accelerating while thinking that the two of them had never been this close.

Because of this, Chen Shu’s current situation was dire. This kind of feeling was more intense, very difficult to ignore.

In a daze, Ye Sui did not know what she was doing. She leaned forward again, and her cheek pressed against Chen Shu’s. It felt soft and delicate.

Chen Shu’s heart beat faster again, and he breathed a long sigh. In this quiet autumn night, even his breath became hot.

After a few seconds, Chen Shu moved carefully to the side, just a little distance away from Ye Sui.

The next second, Ye Sui stuck up again. She seemed very satisfied with the comfortable place. Not only that, she even caressed Chen Shu’s neck.

Ye Sui’s action was unintentional, but Chen Shu’s mood was in a mess. His body became taut, and breathing suddenly became heavier. It took a long time to regain composure.

Afraid of waking up Ye Sui, Chen Shu kept this posture for a long time. Along with Ye Sui’s time to time “harassment”, Chen Shu felt that this night was particularly difficult.

Without knowing, Chen Shu’s breathing became soft and long. He also fell asleep not long after. Both of them were leaning towards each other as the quiet space was surrounded by ambiguity.

When Ye Sui woke up, she opened her eyes, glanced aside, and saw Chen Shu’s face. She was clearly reminded of the fact that the two of them had slept in the same bed last night.

Ye Sui did not know what had happened the previous night. Looking at Chen Shu, she felt that he perhaps had a good sleep.

Ye Sui’s eyes unconsciously fell on Chen Shu’s face.

Chapter 34: Have You Caught A Cold Part 2

Ye Sui’s eyes unconsciously fell on Chen Shu’s face.

Chen Shu’s eyes were closed, and his eyelashes were hanging down, leaving a faint shadow under his eyelids. Ye Sui sighed; his eyelashes were longer than hers.

Ye Sui wanted to continue to appreciate Chen Shu’s sleeping face. However, at this moment, Chen Shu’s eyelids moved, and he seemed to be waking up soon. She hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. It would be embarrassing if Chen Shu caught her red-handed.

A few seconds later, Chen Shu also opened his eyes, looked to the side, and saw Ye Sui quietly sleeping. It took him a long time to fall asleep last night, and his arm was still sore.

Chen Shu kept his gaze on Ye Sui, and the episode passed through Chen Shu’s mind again. His eyes contained unreadable emotions.

Ye Sui was pretending to sleep and wanted to wake up at an appropriate time. But strangely, Chen Shu had woken up, so why hadn’t he made any noise? She was almost unable to hold it.

Chen Shu glanced at Ye Sui. Though Ye Sui had closed her eyes, her eyelids trembled slightly, and a faint red blush rose from her snow-white neck.

Chen Shu knew clearly that she was pretending to sleep. He chuckled, didn’t look away, and continued his stare.

Ye Sui almost couldn’t wait anymore as she pretended to blink. She slowly opened her eyes and looked into Chen Shu’s, which were as dark as ink.

Ye Sui did not know that her futile attempts were already discovered: “Morning.”

“Morning.” Chen didn’t expose Ye Sui.

The two of them got up and washed separately. Chen Shu did not mention what transpired last night. The things were like a secret, hidden quietly in his heart.

When Ye Sui walked out of the room, she saw Yan Lan sitting in front of the computer, typing gracelessly. The sound of tapping the keyboard was very loud.

Ye Sui walked over, but Yan Lan didn’t hear her footsteps and finally finished the sentence.

When she saw the computer screen, Ye Sui was dazed. Displayed were several forums of Ye Sui’s videos, and Yan Lan was posting comments under one of them.

A mother, who was not very smart, had learned how to use computers, how to post on forums, and how to make comments, just to watch her daughter’s video online?

Yan Lan could only use this method to understand Ye Sui.

The Crown Prince series had been on the air for half a month, and the production still hadn’t released Ye Sui’s original part. According to the novel, her role was sinister, and she would be cursed miserably by the fans.

But Ye Sui had read this novel before shooting and knew how to portray the princess.

In every plot that the screenwriter randomly changed, Ye Sui’s performance would not make people lose interest. (T/N: she did give her best)

At first, the drama was divided into different scenes of Ye Sui. On the forums, there were videos with different content: the Rebirth of Princess with Vengeance and Guide to becoming a Proper Princess.

[How could the princess character be so weak? Although the editing is obviously foolish, Ye Sui’s acting skills make up for it. Looking at her eyes, I can visualize the plot is great.]

[Starting today, I’m going to turn from sinister to good. Ye Sui acts well and is worth starting with.]

Before the follow-up plot was broadcast, the netizens had already written about Ye Sui as a fan. She was a little star, and her popularity was getting higher and higher. During this time, the number of her fans on Weibo could even match that of male and female protagonists.

Ye Sui thought her mother understood the popular internet language as she was using her clumsy hand to tap. She saw that the latest comment was made by her mother.

[Ye Sui is the best performer and will definitely become a big star in the future.]

Yan Lan was found by Ye Sui. She was a little embarrassed and explained awkwardly, “Sui sui, you see, the netizens are all praising your performance.”

Ye Sui’s eyes began to turn red. She let out a cry, looked away from the computer, and hugged her mother.

“Mom, I will go home later.” Ye sui was an orphan in her previous life and did not feel the warmth of her family. She would undoubtedly treat Yan Lan well in the future.

Yan Lan’s eyes were also a little red as she turned and shed tears.

Before dinner, Ye Sui and Chen Shu were pushed out of the house. Yan Lan said that the air outside was fresh, so they should go for a walk.

Yan Lan also knew before that their relationship was casual. In order to promote their feelings, she expended a lot of effort.

In this little town, the buildings were not that tall. The fragrance of food came from the small houses along the way.

A railway line extended far away, and the wind blew the waist-high weeds on both sides, making the road cooler at dusk.

The air was a bit strong. Chen Shu suddenly sneezed. Ye Sui stopped and turned her head. He also faced her and mumbled. “Nothing.”

Ye Sui asked with great concern: “Have you caught a cold?”

Chen Shu came up with the picture of Ye Sui snatching the quilt from him at night. She was so intense that she had exerted her full strength. At that time, Ye Sui held the quilt with a face of satisfaction, and he was too embarrassed to wake her up.

Chen Shu was always in good health and did not need to take medicine for minor ailments before. He was about to tell Ye Sui that he was not ill, but she suddenly stood on her tiptoes.

The distance suddenly narrowed as Ye Sui looked up at Chen Shu. Her eyelashes were very long and dark, her eyes as if stars on a moonlit night.

The setting sun shone on her, and the light accentuated the outline of her face. It became more and more obvious in his eyes, gradually filling his vision.

Ye Sui reached out and touched Chen Shu’s forehead. Her hand was very soft, and upon touching his forehead to confirm, she frowned, “You have a fever.”

Her breath was so close that it was just a hair’s width apart and caressed his face lightly, but he did not notice it.

There seemed to be an electric current flowing through Chen Shu’s forehead along with her fingers. It slid all the way down the brows and then burst into hot temperature from the ear.

Because of fever, Chen Shu felt his eyes were scorching.

So, his pulse was beating even harder because of the fever?
