Free Web NovelChapter 112: Chapter 112: You Sleep on the Inside, I’ll Sleep on the Outside
"Hinting at what?"
Su Yanyun looked up with a feigned innocent expression. "I’m just calling it like I see it. What I said is the truth."
"Well, let’s just go back tonight then," Jiang Xinghai said, playing hard to get.
Su Yanyun felt a pang of reluctance. How could she let such a perfect opportunity slip away?
"Oh, I just remembered we have a third bed. My two younger brothers used to live in the east wing. I just don’t know if it’s still habitable after all this time." Su Yanyun pointed to a structure on the east side of the main house, which was indeed in a dilapidated state.
"I’m very adaptable. It’ll be fine," Jiang Xinghai said as he stood and walked out, ready to tidy the place up.
Suddenly, he heard faint, indistinct cries coming from the neighboring house.
Jiang Xinghai thought he’d misheard, but when he listened carefully...
There it was.
It sounded like... those kinds of noises.
’It’s only five in the afternoon. Can’t they hold back?’
"Jiang, head back inside. Killing the chicken is a bit bloody."
Just then, Su Maolin, who was about to kill the chicken, also seemed to hear the sounds from the house next door. He cursed under his breath, "Shameless!"
Jiang Xinghai nodded and went back into the main room. "Yanyun, since that’s Su Yanmei’s house, what are we waiting for? Let’s go pay them a visit."
"Let’s wait until after dinner. I don’t want to ruin my parents’ mood, you know?" Although Su Yanyun was itching to teach Su Yanmei a lesson, she couldn’t bear to do it when she saw the weary faces of her parents.
Jiang Xinghai gave a noncommittal nod. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Su Yanyun, meanwhile, started walking toward the outhouse.
However, the outhouse was located even closer to Su Yanmei’s home.
She took one step before stopping dead in her tracks, her face flushing crimson.
That was the voice of her cousin, Su Yanmei!
"Yanyun, you go inside too."
Chicken blood had splattered onto Su Maolin’s face as he killed the bird, making him look rather fierce.
In truth, he was furious.
’In broad daylight, Su Yanmei and her boyfriend... How shameless!’
Su Yanyun went back into the house.
"You heard it?"
Jiang Xinghai didn’t even look up, just chuckled softly.
He was texting Shen Lingxue to let her know he wouldn’t be back tonight.
"Heard what?" Su Yanyun asked, feigning ignorance.
"Oh, just the happy cries of a couple of animals," Jiang Xinghai said meaningfully.
Su Yanyun remained silent, making her bed.
「Half an hour later.」
The sound of firecrackers erupted from Su Yanmei’s house, followed by the cheerful noise of people raising their glasses in celebration.
Meanwhile, at Su Yanyun’s home, the four of them sat around a square table, eating and chatting.
「8:00 PM.」
After dinner, the four of them began a long, heartfelt conversation.
Jiang Xinghai silently became a listener.
「10:00 PM.」
The noise from Su Yanmei’s house gradually died down.
"Yanyun, you and Jiang should get some rest. Your mother and I are heading to bed," Su Maolin said with a smile, taking his wife’s arm as they returned to their bedroom.
At that moment, Su Yanyun and Jiang Xinghai’s eyes met.
Her gaze was direct, signaling it was time for bed.
He, on the other hand, wanted to go find Su Yanmei and get things over with.
"Let’s just sleep early tonight. We can deal with Su Yanmei tomorrow. My uncle is still at home, and I’d hate for him to be upset if he saw anything," Su Yanyun said reasonably. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Jiang Xinghai had no choice but to agree. Looking at the 1.5-meter-wide bed, he smiled. "You take the inside, I’ll take the outside."
"Let’s just get in bed first," Su Yanyun said, reaching up to turn off the light.
The room fell silent, so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
This was the reality of life in a small, undeveloped mountain village.
HUFF...
Only Su Yanyun’s breathing could be heard. "Not asleep yet?"
"You go ahead," Jiang Xinghai said, feeling restless and uneasy.
He really didn’t want to take advantage of her, so he lay down right on the edge of the bed.
However, a slender arm suddenly wrapped around his waist.
"Xinghai, am I not the least bit attractive to you?" Su Yanyun asked, snuggling up against Jiang Xinghai’s back.
"Of course you are," Jiang Xinghai answered vaguely.
"But you... why are you acting so calm?" Su Yanyun’s hand began to move, teasingly caressing Jiang Xinghai’s chest.
"I don’t want to hurt you."
Jiang Xinghai deliberately shifted his body away from her.
"Is it really as simple as not wanting to hurt me?" Su Yanyun’s hand suddenly withdrew from Jiang Xinghai’s body. "I think you’re disgusted with me because I slept with an old man, aren’t you?"
"You were forced into it back then. I’m not disgusted with you, so don’t overcomplicate things. Keep it simple," Jiang Xinghai said, trying to soothe the emotional Su Yanyun. "You need to look at the bigger picture. Your future is sure to be brilliant."
"You’re still lying to me... SOB... SOB..." Su Yanyun suddenly burst into tears, her eyes welling up.
Having no other choice, Jiang Xinghai turned over. "Don’t cry, I’m really not lying to you—Mmph..."
Before he could finish, Su Yanyun pressed her fingers against his lips.
The next moment, Su Yanyun shifted her body slightly, and a gentle warmth enveloped him...
