Hunt her

Shen Yi sat on the edge of the bed and turned to her calmly, asking, "You can't blame me for this. We had a whirlwind marriage. If my family had known that I didn't tell them about such a big thing as getting married, I would have been skinned alive when I got home."

Yes.

How could she forget that?

They went on a blind date in the morning, got their marriage certificate in the afternoon, and moved in together in the evening. They accomplished in one day what others take years to achieve.

You can tell from Shen Yi's behavior that his parents are very traditional people, so they must be very careful about things like marriage.

Yan Xu convinced himself: "Okay, I was in a rush to get the marriage certificate before, so who is Su Xiao?"

Changing the subject, she still wanted to find out what his relationship was with the woman who had called and texted him so late at night.

Is she the future daughter-in-law that Shen Yi's parents have their eye on?

Shen Yi placed his hands on either side of her waist, trapping her beneath him, and asked knowingly, "So you're jealous? Jealous of me, aren't you?"

"No!" Yan Xu turned her head away, stubbornly insisting, "Why would I be jealous? Who's jealous? I'm just curious if she has something urgent to tell you."

That reason is so flimsy it would be better not to say anything at all.

It was rare to see Yan Xu willing to be jealous of him, and Shen Yi was secretly delighted: "Okay... then let's ignore her and go to sleep."

After saying that, Shen Yi turned over and got into bed, quickly slipping under the covers and lying down next to Yan Xu.

Not hearing the answer he wanted, Yan Xu was somewhat annoyed.

She elbowed him in the chest with no mercy: "Tell me or don't, I don't want to hear it anyway. Don't even think about touching me tonight!"

Yan Xu became increasingly willful in front of Shen Yi, seemingly able to say anything without restraint when she was angry.

Compared to the previously dull, taciturn, and aloof Yan Xu, Shen Yi prefers the lively, vibrant, and emotional Yan Xu she is now.

Shen Yi hugged her waist tightly, buried his head in her neck, and whispered, "Su Xiao is someone I've known since I was a child. My parents want me to marry her, but I don't like her. If I could be with her, we would have been together long ago."

Fate is something that can't be built up over time.

Yan Xu understood.

"So, you and Su Xiao are like me and Jingxing," Yan Xu said somberly. "Childhood sweethearts... then she should know you very well."

Just like how Jingxing understands her.

However, it seems that she never took the initiative to learn about Shen Yi; it was always him who took the initiative to approach her.

Shen Yi sensed the bitterness in her words and slightly raised his head to meet her gaze: "That's not right."

Yan Xu didn't understand what he meant: "What's wrong?"

"She doesn't understand me," Shen Yi said earnestly and sincerely, "because many sides of me are only seen by you."

Only you have seen it...

The unique and exclusive tone made Yan Xu's heart race.

She avoided his gaze shyly: "Okay, go to sleep."

Such a touching sentence, and all she said was "I understand"...

Shen Yi was displeased. He sat up, crossed his arms, knelt on the bed, and stared straight at Yan Xu, his eyes filled with resentment.

Yan Xu was about to turn off the light when she saw his expression and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yi pouted and didn't say anything; it was clear she was angry.

Did she say something wrong again...?

Yan Xu hooked his little finger around Yan Xu's and wiggled it, asking in a coaxing tone, "What did I do to upset you this time?"

"...Again?" Shen Yi was even angrier. "Is this how you always think of me? That I'm being unreasonable?"

"No." Even if she did, she couldn't admit it. She never expected Yan Xu to be so hypocritical. "I was just saying it casually. So tell me why you're angry?"

Seeing that she had given in, Shen Yi felt much less resentful. He pouted and complained, "I just said such touching things, shouldn't you have been happy and shown some appreciation? Instead, you just said 'I know' with a blank expression."

"I see other couples online are very good at providing emotional support."

How does this provide emotional value?

Yan Xu still didn't know what to do: "So what do you want me to do?"

Shen Yi shrugged helplessly and personally demonstrated: "You have to kiss me first, and then say some... cheesy things."

In the end, he praised himself so much that he couldn't help but smile.

So, he just wanted her to offer him services.

Men are so hard to please; their minds are as complicated as a maze.

"Okay, I'll grant your wish." After saying that, Yan Xu straightened up, grabbed Shen Yi's neck, kissed him deeply, and even bit him.

Shen Yi winced in pain: "It hurts."

Yan Xu gently kissed him to comfort him: "If you know it hurts, next time just tell me what you want, don't throw a tantrum and make me guess."

"Oh." Shen Yi lay back down shyly, nestled beside her.

Yan Xu closed his eyes and slept peacefully, but the hand covering his stomach kept wandering upwards.

He pinpointed a spot, lifted her clothes, and began working intently.

Yan Xu was very tired today and wanted to get a good night's sleep. She grabbed his hair and moved him to the side, saying coquettishly, "...Shen Yi, get some sleep."

"Mmm." Shen Yi leaned closer, his lips moving continuously. "You keep sleeping, sweetie."

"..."

She's still sleeping, what the hell?

I did aerobic exercise for several more hours before finally falling into a deep sleep.

Yan Xu felt that Shen Yi had almost trained his physical abilities to the point where he could improve his physique in the past few days.

......

It was two days later when they returned to Yunzhao County.

Why did you stay an extra night?

Yan Xu slept until 2 PM, feeling weak and powerless all over. He didn't want to go out or walk; he just wanted to lie in bed.

On the other hand, the culprit was well-fed and full of energy, jumping around nearby.

Yan Xu was furious...

dog man!

Yan Xu's purpose in returning to Yunzhao County this time was to resign from his position as manager of Zhenyunxuan and then move back to Kuncheng.

Aunt Chen helped Yan Xu pack his things at Zhenyunxuan and sighed softly, "Sigh, you're back in Kuncheng so soon. I thought you would stay for a few years before leaving."

Humans aren't plants or trees, how could they be without feelings? They've worked together for so long, they've developed feelings for each other.

Yan Xu was also reluctant to part with her; this place had healed her and helped her recover from her past traumas.

Yunzhao County is like her second home; she feels at peace whenever she returns here.

But those who are meant to leave will leave sooner or later.

Yan Xu: "Aunt Chen, I've transferred this month's salary to you, and I've also given you three extra months' salary as compensation. I'll come back to visit you again when I return to Yunzhao County."

Aunt Chen received a text message about her bank card, which deepened her feelings of parting.

I don't know if we'll ever meet again.

She nodded, her eyes red-rimmed: "Okay."

Yan Xu left very few things at Zhenyun Pavilion; they could be packed into a small cardboard box. Shen Yi took the things from her hands.

The two left Zhenyun Pavilion in silence.

"I wonder who the next manager of Zhenyunxuan will be." Yan Xu was curious but more worried, fearing that the next manager would not be able to maintain it well.

Shen Yi said in a deep voice, "Maybe the guesthouse owner doesn't want to run it anymore and will just close it down from now on."

Yan Xu retorted without hesitation: "How could that be? Zhenyunxuan has such a good location, it would be such a waste to close it down. They're not stupid with money to burn."

Shen Yi's lips twitched: "..."

There's no need to curse like that.

Yan Xu thought for a moment: "I don't think I've ever met the owner of Zhenyunxuan before; it's always been the agent who handles the business for him."

Shen Yi: "Maybe other people have more than one store and are just too busy."

Yan Xu thought he made sense: "Perhaps, but after we return to Kunming, will you live at home, or with me?"
