Chapter 57: Let People Sleep

Looking at the only bed in the room, Tang Qiaoqiao and Shen Yue looked at each other.

Shen Yue glanced at Tang Qiaoqiao's slightly uncomfortable expression and took the initiative to speak, "I'll give you the bed. I will make do in the wheelchair." His wheelchair's back could be adjusted to turn into a recliner.

Tang Qiaoqiao blurted out, "No, sleeping curled up in a wheelchair all night will make your body stiff. Your body is already not good. Absolutely not. I will feel sorry for you."

Shen Yue said, "Then how do you want to sleep?"

"Simple. I'll just lay on the floor."

Shen Yue was silent for a few seconds. "It's up to you. As long as you won't tell me that I have no manners in the future."

"No," Tang Qiaoqiao said relaxedly, "I can lay an extra layer of quilt. It would be soft. No different from being on the bed."

She asked again, "Where's the quilt?"

Shen Yue pointed to the cloakroom inside. "There are spare quilts in the big cabinet against the wall."

Tang Qiaoqiao went to move a quilt. Two quilts and one pillow were spread beside Shen Yue's bed.

Tang Qiaoqiao patted the pillow and set it in place. "That's it. It's very comfortable. When your mother is gone, I can go back to my room."

Shen Yue can only let her be. "You go take a shower first."

"Oops, I forgot to bring my pajamas upstairs." Tang Qiaoqiao patted her head, stood up, and said, "I'll go downstairs and take it now."

Shen Yue quickly said to her, "No. In case you meet my mother, what will you do? She stays next door. At this time, she is certainly still awake?"

Tang Qiaoqiao frowned. "What to do? Or should I ask Aunt Wang to help me get it?"

"Aunt Wang will also pass through her room, or she may see it."

Shen Yue glanced at Tang Qiaoqiao, who has a tangled face and coughed lightly with his fist covering his lips. He suggested, "If you don't mind, I can lend you a shirt I have not worn."

Tang Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up. "Of course. I don't mind." 'Why didn’t you say it earlier?'

Shen Yue: "Go to the closet to get it. Remember to wash it for me."

Tang Qiaoqiao whispered, "Don't be stingy. A president still cares about a shirt?"

She found the white shirt Shen Yue mentioned in his closet.

There are spare washing tools in the bathroom. Tang Qiaoqiao thought of the big man outside the bathroom, so she didn't take a leisurely time to take a bath. She just rushed to wash.

"I'm done." Tang Qiaoqiao said.

Shen Yue heard the sound of Tang Qiaoqiao coming out of the bathroom and looked up. He thought he would see a pair of the girl's slim legs in his imagination because idol dramas are all like this.

Instead, it was a pair of fat pants that ran into his sight.

Tang Qiaoqiao actually wore a pair of his gray trousers under the white shirt. Because they were too wide, the leg trousers were so long that she mopped the floor, so she rolled it up several times.

"Why do you still wear pants?"

Tang Qiaoqiao looked down, "I found it next to the shirt. It should be clean too. Can't I wear it? Don't be so stingy."

Shen Yue: ...

He suddenly raised his forehead and laughed at himself. What sort of peach blossom thoughts was he thinking?

No matter how beautiful Tang Qiaoqiao was on the screen, this woman may not have the words "amorous feelings" in her dictionary.

Tang Qiaoqiao didn't know the turbulent waves in Shen Yue's heart, and while wiping her hair, she said, "You go and wash. Do you want me to help you?"

Shen Yue said nonchalantly, "No, I can do it myself."

After so long, he had adapted to how to take a bath by himself. Besides, his toilet and bathroom had been remodeled according to his current situation.

Tang Qiaoqiao: "Okay, be careful."

When Shen Yue came out of the bathroom, Tang Qiaoqiao had gotten into the quilt and laid down on the floor.

Shen Yue climbed onto the bed and slept on the same side as Tang Qiaoqiao.

"I'm turning off the light."

"Yeah."

When the light went dark, the room was silent. Only the faint breathing of two people could be heard.

Tang Qiaoqiao stared at the dark ceiling with wide eyes and heard the looming breathing of the man next to her. She finally felt that there was a real big man beside her.

"Shen Yue, are you asleep?" Tang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but ask.

Shen Yue whispered, "No."

Tang Qiaoqiao turned over and faced Shen Yue's... foot of the bed. "How many days will your mother stay here?"

Shen Yue put his arm under his head. "At most two or three days. She never liked the environment here very much. She likes the quietness of the old house."

"Your character is not at all like your mother."

Shen Yue hasn't had time to reply to her, but Tang Qiaoqiao added, "It would be nice if you had half the easy-going enthusiasm of your mother."

Shen Yue: "You take people too simply. You only met her twice. You don't know what kind of person she is not at all."

Shen Yue was unhappy, was there such a person who complained about a person in front of their face?

She was sure that he would not be angry.

Tang Qiaoqiao was curious. "What kind of person is she?"

Shen Yue sneered, "What you saw was just the outward appearance. She is strong, controlling, and has a lot of drama. Do you think a good and cheerful person could be the head of the Shen Group?"

Tang Qiaoqiao curled her lips. "I don't believe it. I think she is a very kind and talkative old lady." While she was talking, the door of the bedroom was suddenly knocked.

The two of them went silent for a moment.

"Son, daughter-in-law, are you asleep?" Madam Shen's voice sounded outside the door.

The two looked at each other in the dark. They wanted to pretend to be asleep and didn't hear her, but Madam Shen obviously didn't believe that they were asleep, and she was still knocking.

"Can I come in?"

"What to do?" Tang Qiaoqiao lowered her voice.

Shen Yue sat up. "Hide the quilt and pillow in the closet first."

"Oh, good." Tang Qiaoqiao hurriedly got up, rolled the quilt, and stuffed it into the closet indiscriminately.

Shen Yue moved to the other side of the bed again, leaving half of the space for Tang Qiaoqiao.

"Come up so she can't see the clothes you are wearing."

"It's reasonable." Tang Qiaoqiao got in the bed without hesitation. How could a woman wear someone else's clothes to sleep in her own bedroom?

At this time, Shen Yue turned on the light, raised his voice, and said, "Come in."

Mother Shen pushed open the door and saw two people lying side by side on the bed with a cheerful expression on her face. "Am I bothering you?"

Tang Qiaoqiao pretended to have just woken up. She rubbed her eyes and poked her head out of the quilt. "Mom, what's the matter?"

Madam Shen looked around the room casually and said with a smile, "It's okay. I just wanted to ask if you want to eat midnight snacks. If you want to eat, I will ask Aunt Wang to cook it together."

Shen Yue heard a clumsy reason from his mother and said speechlessly, "We won't eat it. You have to eat by yourself."

Madam Shen gave him a glare and walked to the bed to look at Tang Qiaoqiao before she cordially said, "Qiaoqiao, do you want to eat or not? I can ask her to make some white fungus and lily porridge?"

Tang Qiaoqiao thought quickly when she saw Mother Shen approaching. She got up and laughed forcefully, "I don't want to eat. I have to stay in shape. Otherwise, I will look disgustingly fat on the camera."

"Oh, look. I forgot that you are an actress. It is very hard for a female star to keep in shape. I understand," Madam Shen smiled, "Okay, if you don't want to eat, then I won't eat as well."

"Aunt Wang is too busy." Tang Qiaoqiao had to smile "happily."

Shen Yue said blankly, "Anything else?"

"Nothing. Go to sleep. I won't disturb your little world." Madam Shen smiled.

Madam Shen walked back to the door. Tang Qiaoqiao waited for her to leave the room, jumped up from the bed, ran to lock the door, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Shen Yue was right. This old lady was indeed not simple.

It was obvious that she was here to test them. Could it be that she had noticed something?

Tang Qiaoqiao took the quilt and pillow out of the closet again and put them on the floor again.

Shen Yue moved his lips but didn't talk.

With the personality of the old lady, this evening may not be so peaceful.

After this round of fright, Tang Qiaoqiao didn't want to chat anymore. She just wanted to quickly close her eyes and only open her eyes at dawn.

Only after she lay down for more than ten minutes, Madam Shen came again.

Twice in a row!

"Hahh!" Tang Qiaoqiao sighed up to the sky. Wasn’t this old lady on the plane for more than ten hours? How come she was not sleepy?

Shen Yue had expected this situation a long time ago. He was not surprised.

Tang Qiaoqiao had to hide the quilt again.

Madam Shen's reason this time was to ask what they want to eat tomorrow morning so that they could eat it as soon as they get up.

Obviously, it was nothing important.

However, this was not the end. It didn't take long for Madam Shen to come again.

Tang Qiaoqiao simply pretended to sleep and let Shen Yue deal with his mother.

After sending Madam Shen out of the room again, Tang Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly at Shen Yue. "Now I really believe you. Your mother is too difficult. Will she come again?"

Shen Yue said slowly, "Even if she doesn't come tonight. She might come again tomorrow night."

Tang Qiaoqiao waved her hands in the air, felt frustrated, and said angrily, "Sleeping is like a war. She has to engage in counter-reconnaissance tactics and prevent people from sleeping."

She suddenly asked Shen Yue, "If I slept on the bed, and the quilt moved around too much, would you mind?"

Shen Yue paused for a moment, seemingly embarrassed, "It will only be temporary. She will go soon."

"Thank you. Anyway, your bed is so big. It is not crowded." Tang Qiaoqiao said quickly.

She also drew a line with her hand in the middle of the bed. "From there to here belongs to you, and from here to here belongs to me."

The corners of Shen Yue's mouth curled up slightly.

After turning off the lights, the room returned to darkness again.

After being tossed by Madam Shen one after another, Tang Qiaoqiao was not sleepy at this time.

Although she and Shen Yue were a little apart, they were lying on the same bed after all. The man's warm breath faintly spread to her, and she could detect it even if he moved a little. She couldn’t ignore it at all.

Some things don't matter, but once you had the thoughts, you couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Tang Qiaoqiao's relationship with Shen Yue was only a nominal husband and wife relationship, and it was also kept secret. Not many people knew about them. She had always only regarded Shen Yue as a friend and sometimes even forgot their relationship. She planned in her heart to wait for Shen Yue's legs to be healed, and then they would dissolve their marriage peacefully and go their own ways.

But who knows why, she now was a bit reluctant to separate from Shen Yue in the future.

Tang Qiaoqiao was shocked all over.

Damn it. She actually started to be reluctant to bear that stinky mess, Shen Yue? Has she formed a habit or something?

The emotional world of human beings was too complicated and really annoying.

Although Shen Yue's eyes were closed, he could feel the woman next to him moving uncomfortably.

He asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do? Why do you keep looking at me?" Tang Qiaoqiao was caught staring at him and felt embarrassed, so she just sat up.

"I can't sleep."

"Then?" In fact, Shen Yue couldn't calm down either. How could he be able to sleep when she was staring at him faintly?

Tang Qiaoqiao: "Let's do some exercise."

Shen Yue: "..."

Tang Qiaoqiao turned on the light, knelt on the bed, and said vigorously, "I'll give you a leg massage. Anyway, neither of us can sleep."

As she said that, her hand was already very friendly with his leg.

In the middle of the night, two adults, a man and a woman, were on the same bed. But they were either chatting inside a quilt or working on some professional rehabilitation massage.

If they told people about this, who knows if anyone would believe it.

Tang Qiaoqiao seemed to be trying to vent her extra energy. This time, her strength was greater than usual. In addition, Shen Yue's legs could already feel pain. So every time she pressed, he grinned in pain.

"Ah! be gentle, okay?"

Tang Qiaoqiao encouraged him, "Forbearance and tolerance. You have to feel pain before there are results."

Shen Yue's face is twisted. "Ah!"

Tang Qiaoqiao started so roughly. Even if he had a little bit of thoughts, they were now gone.

...

Madam Shen leaned on the wall, her ears pressed against the wall, listening carefully to the movement in the next room.

In fact, she had long known that Shen Yue and Tang Qiaoqiao were sleeping in separate rooms. She didn't expose it because she felt that they should be given time to get along with each other. After all, they were very hasty when they got married.

But it couldn't go on like this. Since the two of them couldn't break the window paper, she had no choice but to give them a boost.

She went to their room several times just now because she was worried that they would do things like lying on the floor or sleeping on the sofa.

Although she hadn’t seen any flaws, she still felt uneasy and wanted to listen in the corner of the wall.

There was no movement at first, but now she finally heard a little rustle.

The noise was quite in line with her expectations, but how did it sound like the screaming voice was more like her son's? Could it be that this was a special play between young couples nowadays?

In any case, after hearing that the two of them had made significant progress, Madam Shen could finally go to sleep with peace of mind.

…

Early the next morning.

When Shen Yue opened his eyes, the sky was already bright. Sunlight poured in through the gaps in the curtains.

He felt his body was a little heavy. When he looked down, Tang Qiaoqiao's white porcelain-like arm was lying on his chest. One of her feet was still drooping on his lap as if she was half hugging him.
