After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 17

Lin You fiercely wiped her face dry. In the end, she could only droop her shoulders and go downstairs to eat. They still had to go out for a walk tonight, so she could not delay it.

The system simply could not bear to watch anymore and silently hid itself.

In the spacious dining room, only three people were eating. Lin You silently ate her own meal, occasionally passively accepting the dishes Fu Xinran placed into her bowl.

Lin You looked at the fragrant, colorful, and delicious-looking food in her bowl. She really wanted to wipe sweat for herself. She could only lower her head and eat wildly, not daring to look up at all.

Fu Xinran, on the other hand, ate very comfortably. She was not hungry at all right now. In the afternoon, she had eaten a little, though she had thrown it all up, but the food at home still suited her stomach better.

After the family doctor and chef communicated, the meals at home were gradually adjusted according to Fu Xinran’s taste: refreshing and delicious, trying their best not to make her uncomfortable.

The corners of Fu Xinran’s lips carried a faint, comfortable smile. She used her chopsticks to add food to Lin You’s bowl, one bite after another. Watching Lin You’s entire body tense up as she quickly shoveled the food in her bowl was also a kind of enjoyment.

Aunt Gui treated herself as blind throughout the whole meal and happily ate dog food. After one meal, she had not eaten much food, but she was full of dog food instead. She put down her bowl and left first. This old woman would not disturb the young couple’s deep affection.

Lin You widened her eyes as she watched Aunt Gui leave. She wanted to call Aunt Gui back, but with a pa, another chopstickful of food landed in her bowl. It was even the kung pao chicken she liked. Lin You could only lower her head and tearfully eat three big bowls of rice.

The night breeze was very cool. Fu Xinran had a loose, thin jacket draped over her shoulders as she leisurely walked through the small garden. The bright streetlamps made the darkness of night fade away.

Lin You’s face was tense, and her lips were pressed tightly together. She was deeply afraid Fu Xinran would bring up the unfinished topic again.

Having taken the initiative, Fu Xinran was now in a wonderful mood. Fishing required skill. One pull, one release. This way, she could both consume the fish’s strength and let it relax along the way.

Seeing that Fu Xinran did not mention dating again even until they went to sleep, Lin You breathed a sigh of relief. She closed her eyes, preparing to sleep, but then realized the person beside her was lying a little far away. Afraid Fu Xinran would be cold, Lin You reached out and tucked the thin blanket tightly against Fu Xinran’s back.

Fu Xinran had closed her eyes and was brewing sleepiness. Sensing the movement of the person behind her, she directly turned over. Her head turned, and her eyes met the eyes of the person who was still tucking in her blanket.

Lin You looked at the person who had suddenly turned around, and her hand stiffened.

Under the dim night, Lin You clearly saw a certain someone’s bright eyes. She lowered her hand and calmly withdrew it. Only the heartbeat inside her chest was like a battle drum, pounding high and fiercely.

Lin You held her breath and stared at the ceiling above her. She did not dare turn her head, nor could she lie on her side facing the other direction, afraid Fu Xinran would misunderstand and think she disliked her.

She could only straighten her body and stare hard at the ceiling she could barely see, as if doing so would allow her to ignore the faint gaze beside her.

Little did she know that her breathing gradually exposed her. Her rapid breathing, stiff body, and the clear scent that could not be ignored were all challenging the silence of the night.

Fu Xinran burst out laughing with a pfft. Lin You turned her head in confusion and looked at the person who had already laughed so hard she had curled into a ball.

The night was suitable for murmured whispers. Fu Xinran leaned against Lin You’s pillow. Lin You felt the burning breath by her ear, and her heartbeat was already almost impossible to hold back. It was only one wall away from exploding out.

“I want you to hug me.”

A lover’s whisper, soft and hoarse. The cool, clear fragrance and slightly warm breath made Lin You feel as if she had fallen into an illusion. Listening to the voice beside her ear, she raised her hand and pressed that light, slender, soft body onto herself.

The night was the easiest time for people to lose themselves, and hazy beauty was something both men and women could be intoxicated by.

Fu Xinran lay on top of Lin You, breathing in her scent. Unfortunately, the pheromone-blocking patch covered Lin You’s pheromones tightly. Otherwise, her scent would have smelled even better. Even Fu Xinran could feel the heart beneath her, pounding and jumping.

Lin You blinked her large eyes. The weight pressing on her did not seem to affect her ability to hold her breath at all.

It was just that her body felt painfully swollen. Lin You had forgotten the characteristics of this body. When Fu Xinran slightly raised her leg, she touched something so hot it made her blush.

Only then did Fu Xinran react. So the person who had been completely motionless had a body honest enough to frighten people.

Fu Xinran laughed softly. That clear, tinkling laughter made Lin You turn her gaze over. She blinked, not understanding why Fu Xinran was laughing. Fu Xinran suppressed her shyness and wanted to slide down from Lin You’s body.

Lin You’s arm tightened, pressing down her movement. She looked at Fu Xinran in confusion. Fu Xinran bit her lip. Although she liked Lin You, she was still not very skilled at handling this kind of situation.

She could only bury her head in Lin You’s neck and whisper softly against her skin, “Do you want to go to the bathroom?”

That soft, warm breath on her long, fair neck made Lin You want to call the system and ask whether she had bent. She felt her thoughts were starting to wander.

In her confusion, she heard Fu Xinran ask whether she wanted to go to the bathroom. Lin You shook her head. Her short hair rubbed against the pillow, making a sound heavier than breathing.

“Do you need to go? I’ll take you.” Lin You reacted and thought Fu Xinran wanted to use the bathroom. She lifted the blanket and was about to raise her leg when she discovered something.

Something so awkward that Lin You instantly pulled her body out from under Fu Xinran with a whoosh. Fu Xinran watched Lin You flee in panic and forcefully held back her laughter.

She buried herself in the blanket, rolling back and forth while covering her mouth, desperately suppressing her laughter. If she really laughed out loud, Lin You might immediately start sleeping in a separate room from her.

Hahaha, she was truly too cute. Fu Xinran wiped away the tears of laughter at the corners of her eyes with her fingers, her shoulders trembling nonstop.

Lin You stood in the bathroom, lowering her head to look at the bulge in her pajama pants. Her face was bright red, and her entire body was steaming with heat. It was truly too embarrassing.

Although she had already gotten used to the occasional reactions this body should have, and even had intimate contact with it every day—using the bathroom—this should be the second time Fu Xinran had bumped into it. Lin You covered her face. She truly could not live anymore.

“System, are you there?” Lin You called the system in her mind. She wanted to ask whether the points shop had medicine that could make people clear-hearted and free of desire.

“Host, aren’t you sleeping?” Wearing a sleeping cap, the system yawned and swished its tail as it swam back and forth in front of Lin You.

“Data also sleeps?”

“Isn’t it to match your schedule? Host, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?”

“Cough. Is there any medicine in the points shop that can help someone stay clear-hearted and free of desire?”

“Hm? I don’t know either. I haven’t opened the points shop before. Host, you need to work hard. Once you reach 1,000 points, the shop can open. Then you can have whatever you want!”

The moment Lin You asked about the shop, the system immediately became energetic and hurried to seize the chance to coax her. It had been coveting skins for a long time, but unfortunately, it had no points and could not buy them.

“How many points do I have now?”

“Zero.”

“…”

The silent Lin You told the system to go wash up and sleep. Her first mission had not been completed yet. Only now did she realize that the system was very stingy. The first mission—accompanying Fu Xinran home for dinner—only gave twenty points.

Thankfully, the system did not know what she was thinking. If it knew, it would definitely cry to death. Lin You had shown little interest in doing missions before and had even seemed likely to go on strike, so the system could only choose the easiest task to attract Lin You and make her save some points.

Who would have thought that now, Lin You would turn around and despise it for giving too few points? The system would be so wronged it would almost cry.

Lin You stood in the bathroom and felt her body ache with swelling. It was swollen enough that she wanted to do a hundred push-ups on the spot.

Even though Fu Xinran was right outside, she still missed Fu Xinran’s soft, delicate body very much. She felt like she could go downstairs and run ten marathons right now.

A little below her left shoulder, that spot was burning hot. Lin You reached out and touched it. She knew that was where she had placed the pheromone-blocking patch she had changed that morning. When she put her fingertip to her nose, a strong bitter tea scent rushed at her, making her dizzy.

Fortunately, there was a blocking patch. Otherwise, if her pheromones triggered Fu Xinran’s bonding heat, then she truly would have committed a great sin.

Lin You worriedly covered her face. How should she solve this now?

She had run too fast just now and forgotten to take her phone. Tears.jpg.

Fu Xinran lay on the bed and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She could not help laughing again. Holding the blanket in her arms, she lay on Lin You’s pillow and looked toward the place where the light was on. Listening to the rushing water, she fell asleep before long.

When Lin You finally restored her body to its original state, she saw that Fu Xinran had already fallen asleep on the side where she usually slept.

She turned off the light and carefully climbed into bed, lying in the spot that originally belonged to Fu Xinran. The fragrance lingering on the pillow from Fu Xinran’s hair almost made Lin You go back to shower again.

The night was quiet. Smelling the scent beside her pillow, Lin You soon fell asleep.
