The pair didn’t feel awkward before because the two hadn’t seen each other for so long.
As soon as Lu Ye came back, Gu Yan was too busy being happy.
But now, it was nearly 10 o’clock in the evening. At this time, most people would be resting.
The fireworks session at 8 o’clock was finished. The other round would begin at 12 o’clock. Hence, it was very quiet as of now.
Gu Yan looked up and saw Lu Ye’s crystal eyes staring at her.
She bit her lips and suddenly felt nervous.
She subconsciously clenched her hands.
If she added the age of her two lifetimes together, she really shouldn’t be this nervous.
Moreover, Gu Yan was already extremely certain that she would marry Lu Ye in this life.
So that thing would definitely happen sooner or later…
Even so… she still felt a bit nervous, a bit hopeful, and a bit conflicted.
Lu Ye noticed the contrast between his little wife’s calm face and tightly clenched hands. He was worried she would hurt her injured hand.
Seeing her being this shy and timid, Lu Ye suddenly had another thought.
He grinned and said softly, “Wife, what is wrong with you?”
“I… I’m fine.”
“Oh, then let’s go to sleep.”
Gu Yan suddenly looked up. Her pretty eyes were open wide akin to saucers.
Gu Yan was pondering.
‘Should she reject it now?’
‘Should she even reject it?’
The two of them hadn’t gotten married yet. The people of this era were very conservative. If she didn’t reject it outright, would she make Lu Ye think she’s too…
But if she rejected it, would Lu Ye be greatly disappointed?
Gu Yan suddenly felt annoyed at herself.
Why was she so conflicted?
This was her second life already…
“Sigh, stop clenching. Take care of your hand.” Lu Ye came over and rescued Gu Yan’s two hands.
Gu Yan’s right hand wasn’t wrapped in cloth anymore. Only a small scar was left.
Lu Ye gently rubbed it for her and asked, “Wife, what are you thinking so hard about?”
“Are you trying to…” Gu Yan bit her lips. She was still undecided.
Lu Ye hugged her into his arms and said, “If I’m being honest, I really do want it. I don’t want to wait a single minute, but I can’t be a bastard. Moreover, you’re about to prepare for exams. I can’t distract you.”
To be honest, Lu Ye struggled too. The call of his flesh was too hard to ignore, but his mind remained rational.
This was the battle between fire and ice.
In the end… Lu Ye felt he had to go and stand in the cold northern wind for a while.
Gu Yan felt relieved but also felt a little disappointed.
In order to ease it, she said softly, “Then… how about you go to someone else’s room for the night?”
“That definitely won’t do. Everyone would be asleep by now.”
Gu Yan was stunned. She looked at Lu Ye in confusion.
Lu Ye sighed and kissed her forehead. “We have a couch here. I can sleep on it. Plus, it’s not like we haven’t slept in the same room before.”
Gu Yan soon remembered that Lu Ye stayed with her for the night in the hospital.
