"What did you say?"
Shen Meiyu was immediately terrified by her mother's words, and the grogginess she had just felt after waking up vanished without a trace.
She stared wide-eyed at her mother and Chen Jiang, who was sitting on the sofa watching her and laughing, her face filled with panic.
Why are you making such a fuss?
Mother Shen frowned, staring at her as she said, "You don't want to?"
"I stopped Xiao Chen from leaving just now."
"We're all family now, there's no need to be so formal. Let him stay here tonight and leave tomorrow. Even if he goes back home, he'll be all alone anyway, so it's better for him to stay and have some fun at our house."
"Is it Xiao Chen?"
"Yes, Auntie is right." Chen Jiang gave Shen Meiyu a wry smile and could only nod in agreement.
"My mom..."
'
Shen Meiyu immediately wore a bitter expression, but she had no way to refuse, since she had already made up her mind about her relationship with Chen Jiang, and it was a firm commitment with no room for argument.
Moving closer to the sofa, Shen Meiyu looked at Chen Jiang, who had a half-smile on his face, and angrily reached out and pinched him hard, causing Chen Jiang to hiss and gasp in pain: "Why did you pinch me?"
Shen Meiyu chuckled coldly, too lazy to answer him.
"Alright, since you're awake, you can sit here and keep Xiao Chen company. It's getting late, I need to wash up and go to bed too." Mrs. Shen wasn't interested in watching the young couple flirting. After giving Shen Meiyu a few words of advice, she got up from the sofa to go to the bathroom: "Xiao Chen, I won't stay here with you. If you need anything, just let this girl take care of it for you. Don't be shy, make yourself at home."
"Auntie, don't worry, this is my home from now on. I won't be polite." Chen Jiang quickly said in a cheesy way, which made Shen Meiyu roll her eyes again.
"Alright, then I won't disturb your private space." Mrs. Shen didn't find it cheesy at all and walked away with a smile.
Suddenly, only Chen Jiang and Shen Meiyu were left in the living room. Shen Meiyu couldn't keep up the act any longer and quickly moved closer to Chen Jiang, asking in a low voice, "What's going on? You're not really going to stay at my house tonight, are you?"
Chen Jiang was also helpless. He really didn't intend to stay. He shrugged and said, "What can I do? I was just about to leave when your mother grabbed my sleeve and wouldn't let me go. I can't exactly start a fight with your mother on my first visit, can I?"
"But you..." Chen Jiang looked at her with amusement, teasingly saying, "What's your rush? Even if I could stay, so what? You're not afraid I'll do something to you, are you?"
"Or do you actually believe that I've been plotting against you all along, and that I'm going to do something nefarious tonight?"
"..." Shen Meiyu was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, sneered at Chen Jiang, and clenched her fists: "If you dare to make any improper advances towards me, I dare to castrate you!"
"Then what are you afraid of?"
Chen Jiang shrugged: "At worst, I'll just sleep on the floor. Anyway, we can't leave, unless you want your mother to suspect our situation."
"Sigh... what's going on?"
Shen Meiyu also looked dejected, let out a long sigh, and leaned weakly against the back of the sofa.
She never expected things to develop in this direction, but since she was the one who created this situation, she could only swallow it down.
However... after a moment of silence, Shen Meiyu suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to Chen Jiang, asking, "By the way, if you stay at my house, what about your girlfriend?"
"Won't she call you tonight?"
"I don't want to get angry and fight with you because of this, or I'll be in big trouble."
"It's okay." Chen Jiang waved his hand dismissively. "First of all, I didn't tell her I was here to pretend to be your boyfriend. Secondly, even if she found out, she wouldn't say anything. And even if something did happen, we can just break up."
"Huh? You just broke up with me like that?" Shen Meiyu was a little incredulous. She was even attracted to that foreign girl's looks. How could Chen Jiang be willing to break up with such a beautiful girlfriend over this?
Chen Jiang smiled and looked at him: "What, you still feel sorry for me?"
"How about I give you a chance to rise in my position after I break up with my boyfriend, as a reward for your concern for me?"
"Get lost!" Shen Meiyu rolled her eyes. "I'm just concerned about you, don't try to pin this on me again!"
"What nonsense is this?" Chen Jiang argued. "Because I helped you, my girlfriend ran away. You're going to compensate me by becoming my girlfriend. Isn't that perfectly reasonable?"
Shen Meiyu, however, wasn't fooled by his tricks. She wasn't love-struck, and immediately chuckled, "I think you're just got ulterior motives!"
Chen Jiang couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, hey, hey! How am I being impure-minded?"
"I went through so much trouble, effort, and money today to come all this way to help you solve your problem, and this is how you evaluate me?"
"Sigh, I'm so sad..."
"
Shen Meiyu didn't want to waste any more words with him. This man was full of empty talk, and she couldn't hear a word of truth in his words. She was afraid that if she kept arguing, she would get confused herself. "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Are you sleeping on the sofa or in my room?"
Chen Jiang smiled, but didn't take advantage of the situation: "Just sleep on the sofa. If I really sleep on the floor in your room, I'm afraid my old back will be ruined when I wake up tomorrow."
Shen Meiyu rolled her eyes, ignored him, and turned to walk straight into her room.
Then, after about seven or eight minutes, he came out of the room again and called out to Chen Jiang, "I've finished making the bed, come over here."
"Um?"
Chen Jiang was a little puzzled. He got up and went to her room to look inside, only to find two pillows and a blanket already laid out on the bed. "Hey, I was sleeping on the sofa, why did you make the bed?"
Shen Meiyu was too lazy to explain: "If you really want to sleep on the sofa, I can put a mattress on it for you too."
Chen Jiang waved his hand in refusal: "Then there's no need. I think it's fine as it is."
After saying that, he didn't stand on ceremony at all, went straight into the room, lay down on the bed, and even rubbed against it a couple of times.
Shen Meiyu shook her head repeatedly, and was about to say something to him to make him pay more attention when she suddenly saw Chen Jiang turn over and sniff her blanket twice.
Shen Meiyu blushed instantly and quickly came over to push him away, saying, "What are you doing?"
Chen Jiang looked completely innocent: "I just smelled a fragrance, so I picked it up and smelled it. What's the rush?"
Shen Meiyu was genuinely embarrassed this time. She ignored Chen Jiang, pulled her blanket aside, and prepared to walk out with it.
Ultimately, she's still a virgin. Although she's a bit outgoing and tomboyish, she's not quite a tomboy.
She doesn't usually like to wear pajamas to bed, and this is the only blanket she owns.
As a result, Chen Jiang went over and started smelling her... How could she stand that!
"Hey, where are you going?"
Chen Jiang was a little confused when he saw Shen Meiyu grab her blanket and head out without warning.
He wasn't a pervert; he just didn't treat Shen Meiyu as an outsider. He genuinely picked up the quilt and smelled it after subconsciously smelling the fragrance.
While it's possible she was a little aroused, Shen Meiyu shouldn't have reacted this strongly. She quickly grabbed the blanket from her hand and asked.
"You sleep here, I'll sleep on the sofa!"
Shen Meiyu didn't really know if she was angry or not. She only felt her face burning and her legs a little weak. She couldn't muster even a fraction of her usual strength. Chen Jiang pulled her to a stop.
Hearing Chen Jiang's question, she didn't dare to turn around and answered with her back to him.
"What the hell am I supposed to sleep on..." Chen Jiang said helplessly, "I came to your house saying we were boyfriend and girlfriend, and now your own daughter has made me, the son-in-law, sleep on the sofa! What are your parents going to think of me tomorrow?"
"You may not care about your reputation, but I do."
"You might as well let me sleep on the sofa!"
Shen Meiyu was sulking when she heard this, and hummed twice: "Then you can go sleep on the sofa..."
"
Chen Jiang wasn't inexperienced; he could easily tell that Shen Meiyu was genuinely embarrassed.
I never expected that Shen Meiyu, who usually looks so heroic, would be so shy and act like a little girl... You really can't judge a book by its cover!
However, he did have a way of dealing with it. Nina was usually very obedient, but Gao Wen always liked to make a fuss and tug at him, which was similar to what was happening now.
Without further ado, Chen Jiang pulled her close and then grabbed Shen Meiyu's hand.
Shen Meiyu struggled instinctively, but Chen Jiang tightened his grip, and she immediately lost the strength to resist, letting Chen Jiang pull her closer to him: "Alright, stop being stubborn. Your mother isn't asleep yet, and she might be secretly eavesdropping on us."
"Who's arguing with you?" Shen Meiyu persisted, "I..."
Chen Jiang suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek as she was about to argue back, forcing her to turn her head to look at him.
The two pairs of eyes met instantly, and Shen Meiyu swallowed back all the words she was about to say.
Forget about being stubborn; her entire mind went blank for a moment. Looking at Chen Jiang, her thoughts raced. What was he going to do? Was he going to kiss her? Was he going to confess his feelings? But he already had a girlfriend. Should she say yes? Could things really turn out this way?
She waited for a good ten seconds, which felt like half a lifetime to Shen Meiyu, but Chen Jiang still hadn't spoken. Gritting her teeth, Shen Meiyu demanded, "What are you trying to do?"
"It's nothing..." Chen Jiang looked at her bright eyes, white teeth, and blushing face, and couldn't help but laugh: "I just think you look quite cute with your face all red right now."
These words instantly snapped the string that had been taut in Shen Meiyu's mind.
She rolled her eyes, reached out and pushed Chen Jiang onto the bed. Too lazy to be angry with him anymore, she turned and went back to the other bed, tossed the blanket over herself, and lay down: "Sleep!"
Chen Jiang continued rambling, "Oh, aren't you going to wash up?"
Shen Meiyu didn't want to talk to him at all. She raised her hand and slapped the light switch, plunging the room into darkness.
Oh no... this is a disaster!
Chen Jiang shook his head helplessly, then adjusted his position and lay down as well.
However... to be fair, Shen Meiyu's room wasn't very big to begin with. Although her bed wasn't small either, it was still narrower than a proper double bed.
It could fit two people, but neither Chen Jiang nor Shen Meiyu were petite.
This resulted in the two of them being barely able to fit on the bed, yet they could touch each other with the slightest movement.
Shen Meiyu was determined to get along with Chen Jiang and didn't want to talk to him, so she deliberately avoided him.
But Chen Jiang wasn't really sleepy right now. He wasn't a big fan of sleeping in bed, but it had been a long time since he'd slept in an unfamiliar bed, and there was someone next to him who seemed like a hedgehog that would bounce at the slightest touch... It wasn't realistic for him to just close his eyes and fall asleep.
After lying quietly for a while, Chen Jiang tentatively spoke to Shen Meiyu, "Shen Meiyu?"
She didn't answer or move, but Chen Jiang knew she wasn't asleep.
So he reached out and poked her, and Shen Meiyu immediately swayed.
"Did you hear me when I spoke to you?"
Shen Meiyu remained silent, so Chen Jiang nudged her again.
She finally spoke impatiently: "What do you want?"
"Nothing much..." Chen Jiang was just bored and wanted to tease her, so he asked, "Don't you take your clothes off when you sleep?"
Upon hearing this question, Shen Meiyu felt an urge to turn around and stab him. How could a human being ask such a question?
She does want to sleep naked, but the key is that she has to be able to take her clothes off first!
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chen Jiang nudged her again.
Enraged, Shen Meiyu immediately turned over, grabbed Chen Jiang's hand, and angrily said, "If you keep poking me like a child, I'll chop your hand off! Don't worry, I, Shen Meiyu, mean what I say!"
"Forehead......
Chen Jiang obediently removed his hands, but he didn't stop there. Instead, he sat up and started taking off his clothes: "If you won't take them off, I will... I usually sleep naked at home, I really can't sleep without taking my clothes off..."
'
Shen Meiyu didn't want to listen, so she covered her ears and turned over to lie down.
Hearing the rustling sounds of Chen Jiang taking off his clothes behind her, she felt her heart start racing again. After Chen Jiang finished taking off his clothes, she crawled back into bed.
After a while, she suddenly felt hot, and sweat began to appear on her forehead without her realizing it.
The heat made it uncomfortable for her to lie down, let alone fall asleep.
After tossing and turning several times, she gritted her teeth and sat up. In no time, she took off her shirt and pants, leaving only her underwear.
After she finished taking off her clothes, she subconsciously glanced behind her at what Chen Jiang was doing, and then her body involuntarily stiffened—Chen Jiang was staring at her with wide eyes.
For some reason, even though the lights were off, the moonlight shone through the curtains onto the bed, making Chen Jiang's eyes appear very bright. It made her feel quite uncomfortable, even though he wasn't naked.
It felt as if he had seen through her completely, and goosebumps suddenly rose all over her body, instantly washing away the heat.
He felt like he had lost his mind and was so ashamed that he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
"A beautiful jade?"
Chen Jiang never expected that Shen Meiyu would suddenly take off her clothes.
Under the dim moonlight, he couldn't see much in the darkness, only a vague outline. But this indistinct form suddenly made his throat dry.
He called out to Shen Meiyu, but she pretended to be dead and didn't make a sound.
Chen Jiang hesitated for a second, then slowly raised his hand and reached towards the other side of the bed...
