Chapter 846: Chapter 887 A Little Bit of AffectionXu Yingying tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep. Even though she could hear Li Yifeiâs steady breathing and his faint snoring, she still didnât quite believe that Li Yifei was actually asleep. Instead, she suspected he was feigning sleep, waiting for her to fall asleep before he would start to make his moves.
This might be a trait shared by every girl who shares a bed for the first time with a guy she isnât very close with, but, after all, there arenât many girls who would have such an experience.
Xu Yingying didnât know when she had fallen asleep, but when Li Yifei nudged her, she woke up immediately, clutching the blanket tightly and asking, "What are you trying to do?"
Li Yifei pointed outside the window and said, "Itâs already light out. Shouldnât we be getting up?"
"Ah? Daylight already..." Xu Yingying noticed only then that the room was very bright and that the voices of her parents could be heard from outside.
"You definitely didnât sleep well last night. I called you for half the day, and you didnât wake up. Really, donât you trust me at all?"
"Well... with you sleeping next to me, I really felt uneasy, so I couldnât sleep."
Li Yifei let out a chuckle and said, "It was the same last year at this time, and after a year, nothing has changed."
Xu Yingying gave an awkward smile and said, "Then you go out first."
Li Yifei nodded, pointed to Xu Yingyingâs dark circles, and asked, "Do you want me to rub them a bit? Youâve got dark circles under your eyes."
"No... no need! I can do it myself." Xu Yingying was even more embarrassedâshe had worried for nothing all night, and Li Yifei hadnât done anything after all. She really made a fuss over nothing, and even ended up with dark circles.
"I should help you out. Otherwise, when you go out later and mom and dad see your dark circles, they might think we were fighting last night and thatâs why you didnât sleep well."
"This... you really know how to do it?"
"I have some confidence. If it doesnât work, you can do whatever you want with me."
Xu Yingying hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded her head.
Li Yifei sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "Lie down. Itâs inconvenient for me to do it while youâre sitting."
Xu Yingying did as told and lied down, clutching the blanket to just below her neck. Although her eyes were closed, her eyelids couldnât help but twitch involuntarily.
"Relax. You donât see me as your husband, but you donât have to be on guard against me like Iâm a thief."
"Iâm not..." Xu Yingying stubbornly replied, but her heart felt rather uneasy; she indeed treated Li Yifei that way.
"Sure, sure. You donât see me as a thief. You just guarded against me like a pervert all night long."
Xu Yingying opened her eyes and glared at Li Yifei, but then she couldnât help but let out a laugh and said, "Alright, I know youâre not a pervert. Hurry up and help me with this."
"Thatâs better. Guarding against your husband like heâs a thief, you must be the first in the world to do so."
As Li Yifei spoke, his fingers had already touched Xu Yingyingâs forehead, and he immediately felt her head twitch slightly.
Li Yifei was truly caught between laughter and tears. This was his own wife, and yet she reacted so much at a mere touch. He had no choice but to pretend he didnât notice, his fingers massaging around the orbits of Xu Yingyingâs eyes. This would help improve the blood circulation there and naturally make the dark circles disappear quickly.
At first, Xu Yingying was indeed very tense, but as Li Yifei continued to massage for a while, she began to feel very comfortable, and her spirit also relaxed. Li Yifei didnât make any unnecessary movements and was actually very proper.
But after a while, Xu Yingying felt that Li Yifeiâs movements were getting slower, and then his hands were directly placed on her face, even gently caressing.
"What... what are you doing?" Xu Yingying suddenly tensed up again and stared at Li Yifei, stammering.
Li Yifeiâs body shook slightly, and with tender eyes still on her, he apologized, "Sorry, I couldnât help myself looking at your face like this."
"Hurry... get your hands off." At that moment, Xu Yingying was like a little girl, no longer having the aura of the commanding CEO.
Only then did Li Yifei remember that his hands were still on Xu Yingyingâs face, and he quickly took them away, saying a bit sulkily, "Youâre not really mad, are you?"
Xu Yingying wasnât angry at this moment, and beyond the shyness, she truly felt apologetic. She said, "Iâm sorry, I really canât step into the role of a wife right now. Give me some time, okay?"
Li Yifei was genuinely surprised and delighted. He asked, "Honey, do you really think so?"
Xu Yingying met Li Yifeiâs gaze, and from his eyes, she could tell how overjoyed he was, which made her tone soften as she said, "Although I canât remember at all how you became my husband after waking up, from all the signs, itâs certain you are my husband, and Iâm not denying that. Iâve been unfair to you, and Iâve hurt you, so I still want to slowly accept you as my husband."
"Alright, alright, then I wonât rush you, as long as you can think this way," Li Yifei stood up, rubbing his hands and turned around twice, clearly showing his excitement to the point that even with his self-restraint, he made such an unconscious gesture.
Seeing Li Yifei like this, Xu Yingying couldnât help but let out a chuckle and said, "Look how happy you are."
Li Yifei ruffled his hair and said with a naive smile, "Of course Iâm happy, ecstatic!"
A sweet feeling surged in Xu Yingyingâs heart. To make a man this excited just from a few words from her felt truly wonderful. She playfully said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. We are legally married, what, are you afraid Iâll run away?"
Li Yifei nodded repeatedly, cheered by Xu Yingyingâs flirtatious smile. Only after she urged him again did he leave the bedroom.
In the bathroom, Li Yifei did his business first. Just as he was about to pull up his pants, the door opened, and Xu Shanshan appeared before him. The two looked at each other, finding the situation somewhat amusing. This scene was just like last year when Li Yifei first came to Xu Yingyingâs home and encountered Xu Shanshan in the bathroom. It was as if time had reversed, and they both had traveled back.
"Stinky brother-in-law, why didnât you lock the door?" Xu Shanshan pretended to scold Li Yifei, then glanced at him and covered her nose, saying, "It really stinks." She turned and saw Xu Yingying.
Xu Yingying happened to come out at that moment and frowned upon seeing Xu Shanshan behaving in such a manner. She said, "Shanshan, donât you know to knock first before entering the bathroom?"
"I didnât see anything, what are you afraid of?" Xu Shanshan said with a mischievous laugh and then called into the bathroom, "Brother-in-law, donât forget to turn on the exhaust fan. Otherwise, I wonât be able to wash my face later."
Li Yifei inside responded, and then Xu Shanshan stuck out her tongue at Xu Yingying and said, "I let you go first, after all, heâs your husband, you wonât mind the stink."
Xu Yingying spat at Xu Shanshan. Recently, she could feel that Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan got along really well, but she didnât sense anything inappropriate between them, at most Li Yifei would give Xu Shanshan a foot rub. She had been a little worried there might be something between Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, but now she wasnât worried anymore.
However, at that moment, Xu Shanshan was sizing up Xu Yingying with a tilted head. Xu Yingying felt uncomfortable being stared at and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Xu Shanshan suddenly grinned, saying, "I say, big sis, you seem in a really good mood today, huh..." Then she leaned in close to Xu Yingyingâs ear and whispered, "Did brother-in-law give you some ânourishmentâ last night?"
Xu Yingying immediately blushed and pinched Xu Shanshanâs arm, both shy and annoyed, and said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Xu Shanshan had a mischievous smile and said, "Well, look at you all spring in your eyes. It must be, hehe... But you and brother-in-law are a legitimate couple, so whatever you do is normal, thereâs nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Naughty girl, keep spouting nonsense, and watch me tear your mouth!" Xu Yingying threatened, scrunching up her hand.
Xu Shanshan giggled and ran away just as their mother came in, laughing, "You two sisters are all grown up, and still, first thing in the morning youâre at each otherâs throats."
Xu Yingying huffed and asked, "Whereâs Yifei?"
The mention of her granddaughter instantly brought a smile to Xu Yingyingâs motherâs face. "She went to bed late last night and hasnât woken up yet. Let her sleep a bit more, and weâll call her for breakfast."
By the time Li Yifei came out after freshening up, Xu Shanshanâs eyes were immediately on him, asking, "Brother-in-law, you also seem to be in a great mood today."
Li Yifei laughed heartily and replied, "New year, new atmosphere, naturally I need to be in high spirits."
Xu Yingyingâs parents also noticed that Li Yifei was very spirited today, and Xu Yingying herself looked much better than yesterday, which made them very happy. A loving couple would lead to more harmony, and thatâs what parents like to see the most.
Xu Yingying read something in her parentâs expressions that made her feel rather awkward. She thought they must assume she and Li Yifei had done âthatâ last night, which was a big misunderstanding, but, of course, she couldnât explain it. She could only let her parents misunderstand, thinking the more they misunderstood, perhaps the less they would worry.
But seeing Li Yifei there smugly snickering, Xu Yingying felt a bit annoyed. When no one was paying attention, she stealthily pinched Li Yifei and said in a low voice with glaring eyes, "Canât you stop smiling so smugly?"
Li Yifei chuckled again and said, "If Iâm happy, of course Iâll want to smile."
"Look at your silly face," Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Yifei but couldnât help but reveal a smile herself. Making Li Yifei happy also suddenly gave her a sense of happiness.
