I never expected that Xiao Yi would actually want to sleep with me! I lay inside while he lay outside. There was just a screen separating us. Although I had shared a bed with Xiao Yi before, I had just woken up then and felt weak, so I didn't have time to think much about it. But now that I had recovered, I naturally couldn't share a bed with Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, if you're going to sleep here, you should at least ask me first," I said.
Xiao Yi lay on his side, propping his head up with his hand, looking at me with amusement.
"Qian Qian, you're in the royal residence, and you still want to sleep in separate rooms?"
"What's wrong? Do you want to go back and sleep?"
I was momentarily speechless by his retort and didn't know how to respond.
"Qian Qian, even though I haven't been in the royal residence for the past three years, we are still considered husband and wife."
"Now that you are fully recovered, if you insist on sleeping separately, it might raise suspicions."
"What should I tell others?"
Xiao Yi's words made me feel a bit guilty. He was right; he was in the capital now, and many eyes were watching him. If someone discovered that I was an imposter, then Xiao Yi...
"Fine, let's just sleep," I said as I turned away from Xiao Yi and stopped talking.
Xiao Yi also fell silent, and the room was filled with quietness. My thoughts began to drift away, and my consciousness started to fade. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard Xiao Yi's voice.
"Qian Qian, why don't you want to sleep with me?"
I jolted awake and turned to look at Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, you haven't slept either, have you?"
Xiao Yi smiled and reached out to pull me up from the bed.
He pressed me against his chest and gently stroked my back.
"Qian Qian, are you afraid of me?"
I shook my head.
"No, I'm not."
"I just..."
"I just feel that since we are husband and wife, we should treat each other with respect."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi suddenly laughed.
"Respect each other? Qian Qian, you really dare to say that."
"If you want to treat me with respect, why are you being so sneaky?"
I was momentarily taken aback by Xiao Yi's words and didn't know how to respond.
Perhaps it was the warm afternoon sun, or perhaps the storybook was too dull.
As I continued to read, I gradually felt drowsy.
When I woke up, it was already evening.
I intended to continue reading the storybook, but suddenly realized that the romantic tale had turned into a ghost story.
I curled up in the corner, clutching the blanket, and anxiously called out Xiao Yi's name.
"Xiao Yi..."
Holding the blanket tightly, my mind was filled with the ghostly stories from the book.
After thinking for a long time, I ultimately decided to find Xiao Yi.
I walked out from the inner room and found Xiao Yi lying on the couch in the outer room, resting.
"Xiao Yi..."
I felt a bit scared and didn't dare to walk over. Xiao Yi opened his eyes and turned to look at me.
"What's wrong?"
I bit my lip, feeling a little embarrassed to speak up. But thinking about those ghosts, I finally said, "Xiao Yi, I'm scared."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi sat up and looked at me with amusement.
"Scared? What are you afraid of?"
I lowered my head, feeling shy.
"I read about the ghosts in the stories, and I'm a bit scared."
Xiao Yi chuckled at my words.
"Qian Qian, you're really useless."
"Just ghosts from stories, and they can scare you like this?"
I felt a bit angry, but Xiao Yi was right; I was indeed very scared. Seeing that I didn't respond, Xiao Yi sighed lightly and waved me over.
"Come here."
I walked over and stood in front of Xiao Yi. He patted the bed, so I sat down as he indicated.
"If you're scared, just sleep here."
"I'll go get you a blanket."
Xiao Yi got up from the bed and took a blanket from the cupboard, laying it out on the bed for me.
