Obviously, she was crying.
"But you are hurting me even now, though?" Yun Shu’s voice came out of her hands as she peeked at Bai Yunxian, who seemed puzzled by her words.
"What? How did I...?" Before Bai Yunxian could finish his words, a pair of hands crept up at him in full speed as they pulled his wrist, drawing him close to her.
"You are calling me with the title again. You obviously promised me that you would call me intimately, like how I call you, wife." Yun Shu pouted like a child, glaring at the guy who almost laughed out loudly.
"My Lord, you should calm down! What if someone saw you act like this? Your reputation—"
"My reputation can go to wasteland for all I care! Call me Husband right now, or Hubby isn’t a bad option either. Or you want to call me Darling? Sweetheart? Gege doesn’t sound bad either..." Yun Shu pulled the guy over to her lap, putting him between her legs as she acted like a shameless, spoiled baby.
"Husband, I said you can stop now! Someone will hear us, lower your voice!" Bai Yunxian panicked as he covered Yun Shu’s mouth with his hands, looking around as he couldn’t help but to laugh out loud.
’I can’t believe what I’m seeing right now...
To think the fearsome lord of the battlefield would act like a child so shamelessly and confidently, it’s unbelievable...’
"Put off those stupid titles, from now on I’ll punish you according to the rules!" Yun Shu threatened him lightly which sounded pretty funny.
And Bai Yunxian couldn’t stop laughing as he looked away.
"Wife, it’s not fun at all. But why do I feel like you are still afraid of me?" Yun Shu tried to sound as natural as possible as she asked Bai Yunxian the question, holding his hand in her palm while circling around his waist with the other.
Now, he didn’t have a way to escape without answering her, like he always does.
Bai Yunxian also froze at the unexpected question as his body turned stiff, turning his head towards Yun Shu, only to discover she was also staring at him.
"Xian xian? Are you... really afraid?" Yun Shu’s face sank as she asked him.
Maybe it would’ve been best if she didn’t ask that?
But... Yun Shu didn’t want him to be afraid of her....
She sincerely wanted him to enjoy the fun and happiness of being with others...
"I’m not afraid of my husband."
Bai Yunxian’s words were pretty reliable and confident, which made Yun Shu feel lighthearted, as if a big burden was taken down from her heart.
"But you didn’t tell me who it is that swapped the letter? Is it something... I shouldn’t know?" Bai Yunxian inquired as he looked up at Yun Shu.
"Hmm... of course not. I’m just speculating who it might be right now, I’ll tell you after I’m sure of it. But now..." Yun Shu pondered over her thoughts before answering Bai Yunxian. But her next course of actions were pretty surprising that left him speechless.
"First of all, you should get some proper rest, Xian xian."
Yun Shu lifted him up in the air and put him down on top of the bed, tucking him in for sleep.
"What about you? Aren’t you also coming to sleep?" Bai Yunxian asked as he looked at Yun Shu with a pouting face.
"Of course I’ll sleep when my wife invites me to join her willingly. However..."
For some reason, Yun Shu’s eyes flickered in a strange light as she smirked, leaning closer to Bai Yunxian as she whispered in his ears.
"It’s not the normal kind of sleep that I want, Xian xian."
"...!!!"
Bai Yunxian immediately understood what she meant as his face turned red as a tomato, hiding himself inside the blanket as he pinched her leg.
"Why you! I was just asking you to have some rest because your body is still weak! Forget it if you don’t need to!" Bai Yunxian’s fake anger wouldn’t scratch Yun Shu, instead, she was surprised to find out his keen observation of her.
’He actually managed to pick up the hints that my body is currently weak...’
As expected of the person I like.
Even if her body was weak, many people couldn’t tell the difference despite being with her for long. But Bai Yunxian was able to tell that with just a few glances, Yun Shu couldn’t help but feel proud.
"Well, even if I’m a little exhausted, I can still pretty much go on for the night you know... I..." Yun Shu teased Bai Yunxian a bit more, and he lashed out at her finally, unable to hold himself back.
"Stop it! Stop talking, you!" By now, Bai Yunxian tumbled down Yun Shu on the bed as he sat on top of her, his face was red as if blood was dripping out of it. While his mouth and hands were trembling in shame.
"Hmm, what? You want to be on top? Well, usually I prefer to be at the top, but anyway, I’ll fulfill your wish..." Yun Shu flexed her arms as she put her hands on his waist, making him sit stably on her stomach.
"Or should we..."
"Stop it!" Bai Yunxian couldn’t take her teasing anymore, and covered her mouth with his hands again.
But this time, Yun Shu didn’t stop her progress. Instead, she grabbed his wrist with one hand as she opened her mouth.
At first, Yun Shu only wanted to tease him a bit. But after watching his reactions, her inner self was triggered. And she couldn’t resist him anymore.
Soon, Bai Yunxian felt something thick, warm, and slippery touch his palm.
"Eek! What are you doing?! Let go!" Bai Yunxian wanted to take his hand away from her mouth, but it was too late.
"What were you talking about? Say it again, I don’t remember."
The chilly voice sent shivers down his spine as he locked eyes with Yun Shu.
