After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 26

The disliked system got angry and threw down a huge pile of missions with a clatter.

Lin You’s mind was full of ding ding ding ding ding ding sounds. She could not scratch inside her ear, so she could only lie in Fu Xinran’s arms.

She kept poking her right ear with her pinky while whining. Fu Xinran had no choice but to pick up a tiny ear pick and humor her.

The white ear pick gently scraped inside her ear. Lin You narrowed her eyes comfortably in Fu Xinran’s arms, like a satisfied cat.

The thin blanket was pressed beneath her long legs. Lin You’s fingers kept sliding back and forth over Fu Xinran’s lower abdomen.

Pa.

“Don’t move. Lie still.” With reddened ear tips, Fu Xinran slapped Lin You’s fingers away.

The abundant pheromones had also stirred Fu Xinran’s body into a natural reaction. The pheromone gland at the back of her shoulder had been passively receiving Lin You’s pheromones this entire time.

Too much pheromone made Fu Xinran’s cheeks pink, her whole body soft, her eyes watery, charming and gentle. The faint coolness and snowmelt beneath the first warmth of sunlight rushed into the bitter yet sweet aftertaste of tea.

Lin You narrowed her eyes and felt the gentle movements on her body. Soon, smelling that cold, clear fragrance, she fell asleep.

Fu Xinran listened as Lin You’s breathing gradually became steady. She lowered her head, her fingers gently brushing across Lin You’s nose bridge. Seeing that Lin You did not open her eyes to look at her, she knew Lin You had already fallen asleep.

An Alpha in nesting period exhausted their energy very quickly. Aside from clinging to their partner, they liked sleeping to recover their spirit.

She put away the ear pick in her hand and spread the thin blanket a little, covering Lin You with it. Her right hand pinched Lin You’s ear.

“Let’s see if you’ll listen next time. If you don’t listen, I won’t clean your ears for you anymore. Hmph.”

Fu Xinran’s fair fingers traced back and forth over Lin You’s face. Lin You moved her ears, then turned over toward Fu Xinran’s abdomen, burying herself there to avoid her fingers.

That burning, drawn-out breath made Fu Xinran’s body stiffen. She carefully tried to push Lin You away from her lap. The pheromones inside Fu Xinran’s body were already full.

If the two of them kept touching more and more, she was worried that her own bonding heat would be triggered. At that time, things would truly be impossible to clean up.

Sensing that what belonged to her was leaving, Lin You frowned and followed Fu Xinran’s moving legs forward, refusing to leave Fu Xinran’s body by even half a step.

Fu Xinran had no choice but to pinch Lin You’s nose bridge and wake her up.

“Wake up. Wake up.”

Lin You opened her eyes in confusion. The moment she saw Fu Xinran, she gave her a huge, satisfied smile—foolish, silly, and adorable. What could Fu Xinran do? She could only coax Lin You to get up and switch positions with her.

“Ranran, what’s wrong? Do you want hugs?”

Before Fu Xinran could react, she had already been pulled into a full embrace. Even though Lin You’s eyes had not opened, her hands still held Fu Xinran tightly.

At that moment, Fu Xinran’s eyes grew a little wet. She suddenly understood what Ruirui meant by love. Love was when you had not even spoken yet, and the other person already knew what you needed.

Fu Xinran buried her head in Lin You’s arms. Lin You held her tightly and even wrapped the blanket on herself around Fu Xinran, holding her like a child.

Fu Xinran quietly looked at Lin You, whose eyelids were half-drooping but who was still forcing herself to smile foolishly at her. Fu Xinran covered Lin You’s long, thick eyelashes with her hand and carefully leaned forward.

Soft, warm lips overlapped.

Lin You’s steady breathing paused. Her trembling eyelashes swept across Fu Xinran’s palm.

Holding her breath, Lin You gradually opened her eyes. The lips covering hers had not moved away. They had only left a distance of one millimeter.

The sweet tea fragrance clumsily hooked onto the towering, pure snow mountain. Damp, soft red lips pressed tightly together.

A blankness flashed through Lin You’s mind. At some unknown point, her long, beautiful fingers had pressed the back of Fu Xinran’s head. Her damp, slippery pink tongue captured the red lips close to her.

The atmosphere in the room gradually heated up. Lin You’s long-absent reason finally returned. She worked hard to pull away from those fragrant, soft, delicious lips she did not want to leave. Their rapid breathing stopped both of them.

“No. The baby is still watching.”

Lin You’s sudden sentence made Fu Xinran laugh until her whole body trembled like flowers in the wind. She almost laughed tears out, and she moved away the hand covering Lin You’s eyes.

Lin You’s eyes saw light again. Looking at the clear, gentle, charming woman, she forcefully pulled her into her arms and pressed her face against Fu Xinran’s, mumbling softly, “You’re not allowed to laugh. Not allowed.”

“I’ll laugh. I’ll laugh. What can you do about it? Can you make the baby come out and stop me?” Fu Xinran teased.

Lin You looked around at the dog nest she had built neatly, and both her ears burned. When shame was broken through too many times, one truly became hopeless.

“Are my blocking patches here? The pheromones in the room are too strong. Are you all right?” Lin You looked worriedly at the woman leaning in her arms.

“Hmph. If I had waited for you to react…” Fu Xinran twisted Lin You’s arm in embarrassment and anger.

Fu Xinran pushed Lin You’s chin and gestured. “There. Get up yourself. I placed them at the head of the bed for you. Later, I’ll give you another suppressant injection.”

“I knew Ranran was the best.” Lin You happily got up and kissed Fu Xinran on the face, then picked up the blocking patch and had Fu Xinran help her put it on.

“Congratulations, Host. You completed six missions at once and achieved a 100% completion rate. Reward: one □□ grand lottery draw. Villainess big BOSS Fu Xinran’s favorability is at 50%. Please keep working hard, Host.”

“When did I complete so many missions?” Lin You listened to the system’s report, and memories of completing those missions shakily emerged in her mind.

Lin You felt as though a steam engine had been installed in her head, and her ears were only one step away from emitting steam. She could not believe she had actually acted cute, acted spoiled, and begged for hugs. As expected, when her bottom line was broken through enough times, she could successfully die of social embarrassment.

Fortunately, certain places had remained obedient. Otherwise, Lin You really would have shut herself away again.

“Mm? Why aren’t you talking?” Fu Xinran wondered why the person hugging her had suddenly gone silent.

Lin You, eyes flickering in avoidance, glanced at Fu Xinran and asked in a tiny voice, “Will you dislike me?”

“Mm? Where did that come from?” Fu Xinran curiously touched Lin You’s chin and urged her to speak.

Lin You buried herself against Fu Xinran’s back as if escaping, her voice muffled. “Am I very lacking in Alpha aura like this?”

“Mm? Do you still think your usual aura isn’t enough?” Fu Xinran pinched Lin You’s fingers and asked her in return. Lin You opened one eye and discovered that she could not see Fu Xinran’s face.

With both hands lifting and pulling, Fu Xinran was brought face-to-face with her.

Suddenly being lifted, Fu Xinran naturally wrapped both arms around Lin You’s neck and scolded delicately, “Hey, what are you doing?”

“Nothing.” Lin You lowered her head awkwardly, curling her tall body into Fu Xinran’s arms. Fu Xinran was like someone holding a large dog, and she even had to be responsible for comforting its mood.

“Lin You, have you ever dated before?” Fu Xinran asked faintly.

Lin You raised her head and immediately sat up straight, saying seriously and properly, “I’ve never dated before. I’ve never even held hands with anyone else. I’m completely innocent.”

Seeing this person so serious, Fu Xinran burst out laughing. Then she immediately put on a stern face.

“I haven’t dated either. But I married you. It’s still the same question from last time. Before we become a family of three, I want to have a romance. You figure it out.”

“Ah?!” Lin You murmured. She anxiously scratched behind her ear, not knowing what to do.

Now, she had kissed her, hugged her, and it was impossible to say she had no thoughts about Fu Xinran. If she truly had no thoughts, then before Fu Xinran could even approach her, she might have thrown her out.

But she had never dated before. And right now, she had not even figured out the situation in this world. She could not become a substitute for the original body just for the sake of dating.

After all, Lin You had also discovered that Fu Xinran was not without feelings toward the original body. There was even a faint liking there. Otherwise, Fu Xinran would not have forced Lin You step by step to get closer to her.

Thinking of this, Lin You raised her eyes and looked at Fu Xinran, who was pretending to be casual and not looking at her. The uneasiness and anticipation in Fu Xinran’s eyes burned Lin You’s heart.

Lin You threw away all the messy thoughts in her mind. Lowering her head, she lovingly reached out and pulled Fu Xinran into her arms, rubbing against the tips of her hair.

The corners of her mouth uncontrollably lifted, and her eyes hid shyness. “I haven’t dated before either. Then from now on, Miss Fu, please give me lots of guidance.”

Fu Xinran had not expected to hear the answer she had been waiting for. Her fingertips exerted slight force, gripping Lin You’s blue-and-white pajamas.

Tears suddenly filled her eyes, and within the glistening tears was pure happiness.

“Hmph. That depends on your performance. If you perform badly, I can refuse to accept delivery.”

Fu Xinran lifted her head to make the tears recede and spoke arrogantly.

“No, no. Look, the nest I built is big and round. It’s very good.” Lin You pulled at Fu Xinran and acted spoiled, pointing at the nest she had neatly piled up, proudly lifting her head and asking for praise.

Fu Xinran rolled her eyes at her. Her custom-made clothes could no longer be worn, but she still could not help finding Lin You cute. She touched Lin You’s beautiful chin. “Let’s see how we sleep tonight.”

Lin You’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stood. “Isn’t that easy? Watch me.”

Lin You pushed all the clothes on the bed off, then happily picked up Fu Xinran, who let her fool around.

“Ah.” The sudden princess carry made Fu Xinran let out a small cry. Lin You found it fun and stood on the bed, bouncing Fu Xinran in her arms.

Gently tossing her upward, Fu Xinran nervously hugged Lin You. “Ah, what are you doing?” Fu Xinran pinched Lin You’s earlobe and elegantly rolled her eyes, telling her to let go.

Lin You refused. She carried Fu Xinran around the bed once and declared grandly, “Beloved consort, look. This entire land is the kingdom I have conquered for you. Does beloved consort like it?”

“It’s too small. Your Majesty, why don’t you change to a bigger kingdom to fool around with?” Fu Xinran firmly grabbed Lin You’s earlobe and narrowed her eyes in threat.

That tender earlobe bore pain it should not have borne at its age. Lin You shrank her neck and gave Fu Xinran a silly laugh. She carefully stood by the edge of the bed. Seeing that Lin You was preparing to get off the bed, Fu Xinran felt a little afraid when the mattress sank downward.

She leaned by Lin You’s ear, her voice like gauze drifting lightly onto someone’s heart, soft and itchy. “Lin You, put me down first. I’ll get down by myself. It’s too high.”

Lin You’s heart felt as if it had been swept by an invisible feather. Fu Xinran’s voice was very pleasant, especially when she lowered it. It was especially sexy and teasing.

She knew Fu Xinran did not truly want her to put her down, but Fu Xinran was also a little afraid in her heart. Like a cat, her whole body was rejecting it, yet her tiny paws could not help itching to try.

“I don’t want to.” Lin You steadily carried her off the bed. The sudden drop in height made Fu Xinran tighten her arms around Lin You’s neck. Only when Lin You stood steadily on the ground did the nervousness in her heart fade.

Fu Xinran’s eyes shone. She felt it was actually quite fun. Deep in her heart, she had the impulse to do it again, but she felt too embarrassed. No one had ever played with her like this before.

Seeing that Fu Xinran still wanted to do it again, Lin You’s arms holding her trembled slightly. After going up and down just now, only now did she realize her arms were sore.

But a woman could not say she could not do it. She endured the soreness in her arms and asked, “Do you want to play again?”

Hearing Lin You ask, Fu Xinran’s eyes lit up. “Can we?”

Lin You laughed aloud. “Who was the one who told me to put her down just now, hm?”

Fu Xinran turned her head away as if she had not heard and said softly, “It wasn’t me anyway.”

“Hahaha. Then let’s do it again?” Lin You’s happy, hearty laughter pierced through the walls. The old butler waiting outside maintained an unshaken smile, and if one looked carefully, there was a little more kindness in it.
