Chapter 22: A Man's Self-Esteem Was Hurt

Seeing his movement, Lin Xiuqing also understood what he wanted to do and turned her back to him directly.

Ye Yaodong reached out and rested his hand on her waist, calling out in her ear in a low voice, "A-Qing? Sleep later, it's only past 7 o'clock, still early."

"Early what, I still have to get up early to work tomorrow, sleep your sleep."

His own wife, if he wanted to sleep with her, could she not let him?

Ye Yaodong went directly for it.

Mouth soft from eating, Lin Xiuqing bit her lip, wanting to refuse but unable to. If she had known, she wouldn't have eaten just now!

Ye Yaodong teased her ear for a while before straightening her body and leaning over to press on her.

"You... you hurry up."

"Got it!"

After being busy for a while, just as he entered the main topic, Ye Yaodong frowned tightly, his face showing an expression that was both painful and pleasurable. He couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Damn!

"Are you done?"

Facing his wife's incredulous eyes and surprised tone, embarrassment climbed onto his face. "It was you who told me to hurry up!"

Lin Xiuqing was speechless for a moment. "If you're done, get down, lie back in your position."

He felt he needed to explain. "A bit tired lately, I'll rest for a bit, I'll come again in a moment!"

Eating and drinking every day, not doing any work, and still have the nerve to call it tired? She didn't even want to pay him any mind and pushed him away.

Ye Yaodong felt his self-esteem had been hurt!

Hadn't done it for more than ten years, suddenly returned to his youth, it was normal to be excited and finish in a second...

He was still immersed in the emotion of his poor performance just now, and his wife had already cleaned up, put on her vest and shorts, and lay down beside their two sons.

"What are you lying there for? Lie over here, sleep together?"

"Ah? Come over here? Haven't slept together for quite a while."

"Hear that? Lie over here?"

"Is it because I didn't perform well? Wasn't it you who told me to hurry up?"

Lin Xiuqing's head grew big listening to him. What kind of nonsense was he talking?

"Shut up, sleep!"

"Can't sleep, you lie over here, let's talk!"

"Talk during the day!"

"You don't have time during the day, either bringing the children or making fishing nets, going to pan for seafood again tomorrow, hurry up and come over..."

Talking as if it were her fault. Who was the one who never stayed home all day?

"Come over, come over~"

"Then if you don't come over, I'll lie over there."

Seeing she didn't make a sound and didn't respond, Ye Yaodong had no choice but to climb over himself.

"What are you doing? Annoying? Not crowded enough? You just lie there and sleep, why move back and forth?" She glared at him impatiently.

So annoying, took the wrong medicine tonight? In the middle of the night, he had to find her to talk, talk about what? Couldn't he let her have some peace for a while?

Ye Yaodong lay on his side with a cheeky grin, holding her in his arms, smelling the faint soap scent on her, feeling a bit at ease.

"Are you hot? Is it crowded? On a hot day, you have to stick together. Then you lie here, I'll lie at the other end."

"No, it's quite cool with the window open, and it's not very hot."

At this time, there was no air conditioning, and their house didn't even have a fan, but rural areas were quite cool. At most, take a cattail-leaf fan to fan some wind.

Lin Xiuqing patted the big palm on her waist. Ye Yaodong just wouldn't let go, and one leg lay across her body, imprisoning her and not letting her climb away.

"In the middle of the night, what kind of nerve are you having, not letting people sleep?"

"Sleep a bit later."

"You don't do work, I still have to get up early to work, don't annoy me!"

"I do work, I'll go pan for seafood with you tomorrow, watch the children for you, is that okay?"

Believe his ghost! Didn't even watch for a while this afternoon before slipping away, and still had the nerve to mention watching the children to her!

"Where are you touching, don't mess around!" Lin Xiuqing grabbed his hand that was moving around, knowing he didn't just purely want to stick to her and talk.

"Oh, be good, don't wake the children. If they wake up, you'll have to coax them for half a day again!"

Having said that, she didn't dare to struggle randomly again. It was hard enough to coax them to sleep, if they woke up again, she would collapse, so she could only let him be, feeling depressed.

Ye Yaodong was very satisfied with her being afraid of the consequences, and pushed his luck, saying, "Change position, let's lie at the other end, avoid waking the children."

She didn't want to move!

If she didn't move, he would pull her up!

Lin Xiuqing patted away his claws, looked at her son who was twisting and turning, and had no choice but to glare at him, moving to the end of the feet half-pushed and half-willing.

This time he succeeded again!

But the bed board, creak, creak, made him a bit annoyed...

Turning over and such were all fine, it was just when this exercise happened, the sound was a bit rhythmic...

Lin Xiuqing bit her lip. "Keep the movement smaller!"

"I've already tried to lighten it..."

This old frame bed was just like this, moving once made it sound. Turning over daily only sounded once, which was acceptable. Now, like this, it made him a bit broken!

Could only finish in a rush again...

Damn it!

He wanted to earn money to buy a bed!

Doing this for a long time, he felt it would affect his function!

"Took half a day, dawdling, the children are going to be woken up by you!" Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but mutter after he was done.

"It was you who complained I was fast, it was you who complained the sound was too loud, and it was you who complained I was long. You women are really hard to serve." Ye Yaodong grabbed her, saying lewdly.

"Go away, you just lie at this end and sleep, I'll accompany the two children to sleep."

"Sleep together!"

Held by him and unable to break free, Lin Xiuqing was half-dead with anger, opened her mouth wanting to scold him, but was blocked back by him saying don't wake the children.

Full of unwillingness, she could only lie with him and sleep.

Ye Yaodong, however, was somewhat satisfied!

After his wife passed away in his previous life, he finally repented. A fifty-year-old man, didn't even have two hundred yuan in his pocket, no ability and no thought of remarrying, had been a bachelor for more than ten years.

Anyway, he had always been drifting on the sea, only returning to the village for the three months of the fishing ban. Not having a wife didn't matter, anyway, he was already old.

Now, however, he had a sense of satisfaction of having lost and regained.

"A-Qing, after the family divides, let's live our lives well!"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes. "You don't plan to live your life well before the family divides, right? Don't find excuses for your laziness."

"No, I'm speaking from the heart."

She closed her eyes, not wanting to talk to him about this.

For so many years, she had long since been disappointed. Good or not, anyway, this life was already like this, just make do and live it!

Seeing she didn't seem to want to talk much, Ye Yaodong didn't force it. Time reveals a person's heart, he believed that in this life, no matter what, he wouldn't make life worse.

Touching her face, he said gently, "Sleep."

Closing his eyes, he felt he hadn't slept for long, and in a daze, he heard the sound of the children crying and calling for their mother. The person in his arms got up directly.

Before long, his wife threw the two children's bedsheets onto the table by the window, and the bedsheet on him was also taken away and covered on the two children.

"Wet the bed?"

"Mm!"

"This little rabbit, I'll beat his butt until it blossoms tomorrow!"

The wish to hold his wife and sleep until dawn all night, the first night, fell through.
