Chapter 6: You Are Playing With Fire
"I am your husband, call me husband." The words left his mouth and startled him; he didn't know why he had blurted that out.
Shi Youxuan said crisply: "Husband."
She changed her tune very readily, and her smile was even more radiant.
Sheng Hanyu's mood improved inexplicably, but this good mood did not last long.
The cold air in the bathroom and the cloyingly sweet fragrance wafting from the bathtub made Sheng Hanyu very alert, and he promptly stopped Shi Youxuan's hand as she reached to undo his buttons: "You filled it with cold water?"
"Yeah."
The woman's tone was cheerful and innocent: "This is how it is when I bathe Zai Zai, wash clean, wash fragrant."
"Who is Zai Zai?" The man's brow furrowed deeper.
Shi Youxuan laughed happily: "Hahahaha..."
"Everyone says I'm a fool, but I think you're the fool; you don't even know Zai Zai. Zai Zai is the teddy bear I brought with me."
Sheng Hanyu: "..."
Shi Youxuan finally got her wish and was chased out of the bathroom by Sheng Hanyu.
When he finished his shower and came out of the bathroom, Shi Youxuan was already fast asleep on the bed, hugging the teddy bear.
He put on his pajamas and lay under the covers; the unique, delicate fragrance of a young girl kept drifting into his nose. The man's physiological indicators were all perfectly normal, and today was, after all, his wedding night.
Sheng Hanyu reached out to pull the fragrant body into his arms... it was furry!
Zai Zai?
The teddy bear was tossed out of the covers and lay all alone on the floor.
A moment later, the little woman clung to him like an octopus, draping her arms over his chest, her legs over his, and resting her head in the crook of his arm, even nuzzling into his chest.
The woman's pretty brows furrowed slightly, and her small, rosy mouth pouted in grievance.
She murmured like a nightmare: "Zai Zai don't run, where are you going, don't abandon me, you're the only friend I have left..."
The entire night.
Sheng Hanyu maintained one position, wide awake until dawn.
Early in the morning, Shi Youxuan opened her eyes, but instead of Zai Zai's familiar big face, she was met with the face of a handsome man.
"Ah—"
She shrieked and sat up: "Why are you in my bed, where is my Zai Zai?"
Shi Youxuan had a very serious case of morning grumpiness; being startled right after waking up made her mood extremely unpleasant!
Sheng Hanyu was expressionless: "Dress me."
"Why should I?" The two words slipped out.
Once the words were out, she realized she had acted too "abnormally."
She was a "fool," so acting abnormally was normal; if she acted too normal, she wouldn't be able to keep up the act for two days before being exposed, but Shi Youxuan didn't want others to know the truth about her feigning foolishness right now.
And so...
She let out a "Wah—" and began to cry loudly: "Where is Zai Zai? I want Zai Zai, I don't want you, you're a bad person..."
She had used this tactic yesterday, but today it didn't seem to work.
Sheng Hanyu did not leave the room like he did yesterday, but instead waited quietly for her to cry!
Shi Youxuan "cried" for a long time, but seeing no reaction from him, she gradually quieted down, hopped off the bed, and pulled the teddy bear into her arms.
"Zai Zai is good, Xuanxuan is also good, we are good people, don't pay attention to the bad person."
The "bad person" sat on the edge of the bed, his tone calm and unruffled: "If you don't take good care of me, you won't have anything to eat today."
Is this taking advantage of someone's predicament?
However, when one is under someone else's roof, one has to bow one's head; Shi Youxuan had no choice but to put down Zai Zai and come over to help him get dressed.
First the shirt, then the trousers; fortunately, Sheng Hanyu was somewhat cooperative, and the process of dressing him wasn't too complicated.
It was just that this was her first time in such close contact with a man, and Shi Youxuan's face was flushed red.
