Paranoid Girlfriend [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 31

Dai Shiyuan lowered her head and played on her phone, not disturbing the female lead, and the female lead did not disturb her either.

She somewhat hoped that after the female lead finished eating, she would go back, so the two of them would not have to spend the night staring at each other in speechless silence.

When the female lead finished eating and began tidying up the dishes, Dai Shiyuan immediately put down her phone, lightly cleared her throat, and said, “Teacher Shan, you don’t need to stay with me tonight. I can take care of myself. If anything happens, I’ll call the doctor or nurses.”

Hearing this, Shan Yaxin’s hands paused. Disbelief appeared in her eyes, and she hurriedly sat by the bed to persuade her. “I’m your sister-in-law. It’s only right for me to take care of you. How could I feel at ease leaving you alone in the hospital? If this gets brought up in the future, Dad will definitely blame me.”

Dai Shiyuan was momentarily stuck, not knowing how to respond.

She had not expected the female lead to instantly come up with so many reasons to refute her, and every sentence was in the name of being good to her.

The key was that the female lead spoke with such sincere feeling that Dai Shiyuan could not easily refuse.

After thinking for a while, Dai Shiyuan finally came up with a good reason. She smiled and said sensibly, “I know Sister-in-law has been very busy lately. Today, you even brought me to the hospital and haven’t rested properly. I’m actually fine. Sister-in-law doesn’t need to stay overnight. Go back and rest well.”

Hearing the word “Sister-in-law” again, Shan Yaxin felt somewhat moved.

Her younger sister-in-law had always avoided her and seemed to dislike her very much.

All this time, she had been calling her “Teacher Shan.” Now that she suddenly called her “Sister-in-law,” Shan Yaxin was actually a little pleasantly surprised.

Shan Yaxin froze slightly, and a sense of vigilance rose in her heart.

She should be guarding against this person. How could she feel happy just because of one word from her?

Her younger sister-in-law was trying to send her away now. Perhaps there was some scheme behind it.

“Xiao Yuan, I’m not tired. Tonight, I’ll stay and take care of you. Only when I see you discharged safely will my heart feel at ease. Dad entrusted you to me, so naturally, I have to be responsible for your safety.” Shan Yaxin gently shook her head. Her voice was soft, but her expression was firm.

The corner of Dai Shiyuan’s mouth twitched, and she turned her head away in a bit of a sulk.

Why was the female lead so impossible to reason with?

Seeing her small angry appearance, Shan Yaxin instead found it somewhat amusing. She softened her voice and coaxed, “I’ll go back now and get some clothes. Be good and don’t move around recklessly.”

Dai Shiyuan gave a humph, twisted her body, lay down, and pretended to close her eyes.

The female lead was actually treating her like an unreasonable child.

She was not a child.

Listening to the female lead’s footsteps fade away, Dai Shiyuan opened her eyes, blinked twice, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Too many things had happened today. She had to properly digest them.

Time passed without her realizing it as she stared into space. When she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, Dai Shiyuan startled. Seeing that it was a nurse, she immediately let out a breath of relief.

Just now, she had subconsciously thought it was the female lead.

Even after the nurse finished making her rounds, Dai Shiyuan still had not sorted out her messy thoughts.

Today, she really could not understand the female lead a little.

When talking to her, not only had the female lead been gentle, but she had even carried a trace of strange indulgence.

Dai Shiyuan felt that the icy dividing line between her and the female lead seemed to have cracked a little.

Dai Shiyuan rubbed her overused brain and decided to recover first. After she was discharged, she could consider these things again.

Around seven o’clock, the female lead returned with her clothes and toiletries.

Not only had she brought a change of clothes, she had not even forgotten her pajamas.

So meticulous and thoughtful that Dai Shiyuan almost wanted to praise her.

“Thank you, Sister-in-law.” Dai Shiyuan smiled politely and thanked her, abandoning her previous cold-treatment approach.

“Xiao Yuan, don’t be so polite. Do you need my help?” Shan Yaxin asked with a smile, her expression gentle.

Dai Shiyuan hurriedly shook her head.

She was only physically weak, not crippled in her hands and feet. She could still take care of her basic needs.

Dai Shiyuan took the clothes and toiletries to wash up. When she came out after washing, she saw the female lead with her head lowered, writing something.

They were too far apart, so she could not see clearly what the female lead was writing.

“I’m done washing,” Dai Shiyuan said in a low voice, neither too loudly nor too softly.

Hearing this, Shan Yaxin straightened up, turned her head, and smiled gently. “Rest first.”

Judging from the female lead’s appearance, she definitely still had work to do.

Dai Shiyuan nodded, climbed into bed, and lay there playing on her phone.

Now that she was staying in the same room as the female lead, how could she possibly fall asleep peacefully?

In the quiet room, the rustling sound of the pen writing and the sound of pages turning came from time to time. Dai Shiyuan’s eyes stared at her phone screen, but her ears had been paying attention to the movements on the female lead’s side all along.

Suddenly, the female lead stood up. Dai Shiyuan instinctively turned off her phone and closed her eyes.

She listened as the footsteps went into the bathroom, and soon, the sound of water came from inside.

After confirming that the female lead would not come out for the time being, Dai Shiyuan let out a breath of relief and lit up the screen again.

A text message popped up. It was from Zuo Jia.

“Shiyuan, is Sister Shan taking care of you tonight?”

Dai Shiyuan raised her head and glanced at the bathroom, then briefly replied with one word: “Yes.”

“Wow, that’s so nice. Sister Shan is very attentive. She’ll definitely take very good care of you,” Zuo Jia sent another message.

Just from the words alone, Dai Shiyuan could sense the happy emotion hidden inside.

She was currently carrying her heart in her throat. How could she have the energy to be happy?

Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom stop, Dai Shiyuan hurriedly turned off her phone, put it under her pillow, and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep.

Shan Yaxin walked out of the bathroom and glanced at the person on the bed. She seemed to be sleeping soundly, but her blanket was not properly covering her.

The air conditioner was on in the room. Sleeping with her stomach exposed like this would easily make her catch a cold.

Shan Yaxin lightened her steps and walked over. Bending down, she gently covered her with the blanket.

Afraid of waking her, her movements were very slow and very light.

Dai Shiyuan felt the female lead’s presence close at hand, and her heart suddenly tightened. Her body unconsciously tensed, and her slender eyelashes trembled beyond her control.

Every time the female lead’s breathing drew closer by one degree, her heart beat more fiercely by one degree.

In the silent space, her heartbeat seemed to be magnified countless times, filling her eardrums and leaving her unable to hear anything else.

Dai Shiyuan was so nervous that her entire body heated up. Her breathing unconsciously became chaotic, but she herself did not notice at all.

After covering her with the blanket, Shan Yaxin straightened up. Only then did she notice that her younger sister-in-law’s thick lashes were trembling terribly, fluttering in a rather interesting way.

Listening to that breathing growing more hurried with each breath, she lightly curved her lips.

It seemed her younger sister-in-law had not fallen asleep.

Since the other party was pretending to sleep, Shan Yaxin was happy to cooperate.

Shan Yaxin watched for a while, then turned around and continued working.

Feeling the female lead’s presence move away, Dai Shiyuan waited for a while. Only after hearing the rustling sounds again did she quietly open a slit of her eyes.

Sure enough, the female lead had gone back to writing.

Dai Shiyuan secretly let out a breath of relief and reached up to touch her burning cheeks.

Just now, when the female lead came close, she had nearly been unable to keep herself from giving herself away.

No matter how hot she got now, she would not kick off the blanket again, lest the female lead kindly come over again.

After staring at the female lead’s back for quite a while, Dai Shiyuan gradually began to lose the strength to stay awake.

The moment she closed her eyes, she hurriedly shook her head to keep herself conscious.

Before the female lead fell asleep, she absolutely could not sleep!

She had to rouse herself to one hundred and twenty percent and guard against the female lead.

Dai Shiyuan covered her left eye with her hand, using only her right eye to stare at the female lead.

This way, one eye could rest.

After switching back and forth several times, time finally dragged into the early hours of the morning. Dai Shiyuan’s eyelids gradually closed beyond her control.

A few seconds later, she suddenly startled awake, forcefully widening her eyes to continue staring at the female lead.

If not for training exhausting her physical strength, in the past, she would have had no problem going an entire night without sleep.

Dai Shiyuan bit her lip, doing her utmost to keep her mind clear.

Before long, her eyelids slowly drooped again. After struggling only a few times, they closed completely.

By the time Shan Yaxin finished working, it was already two in the morning. She looked back and saw that her younger sister-in-law had already fallen asleep, both hands folded together under her head, looking somewhat cute.

Only, she had kicked off the blanket again, revealing a pair of fair, straight, long legs.

This set of pajamas was made of very good material, gently wrapping that graceful body and revealing all its lovely curves.

Especially with the bright yellow color, her skin looked even fairer and more tender.

Suddenly, the person on the bed turned over, her movement so large that it pulled open her collar.

Even from a distance, Shan Yaxin could see that patch of pale softness.

After looking for a while, she realized that her younger sister-in-law’s figure had developed quite well.

Only, in ordinary times, this person always treated her coldly, which made Shan Yaxin overlook this aspect.

Shan Yaxin sat for a while, then got up and covered the person on the bed with the blanket.

At a closer distance, she could see her younger sister-in-law’s figure even more clearly.

A person with such superior conditions could easily obtain everything and all the happiness that others struggled for. In her previous life, why did she insist on treating Shan Yaxin so viciously?

She had even destroyed herself without hesitation.

Shan Yaxin’s eyes darkened. She stared at that sleeping face, and only after a long time did she withdraw her gaze.

She walked toward the small bed beside her to sleep. But just as she lay down, the blanket on the other side was kicked open again. This time, it was even kicked onto the floor.

Shan Yaxin had no choice but to get up, pick up the blanket, and cover her again.

At this moment, she had no sleepiness at all.

Staying in the same room as the person she had hated most in the past made her cerebral cortex so excited that she could not sleep.

One voice in her heart urged her to vent her hatred, but another voice stopped her and told her to remain rational.

A trace of distortion gradually appeared on Shan Yaxin’s beautiful expression. Fortunately, she adjusted herself very quickly.

Before her younger sister-in-law did anything bad, she would not take revenge on this person.

But she was not stupid enough to wait for the other party to do something bad either.

The best method was to watch this woman and prevent her from doing those vicious things.

That night, Shan Yaxin barely slept at all, helping someone pick up and cover the blanket from time to time.

And the person on the bed knew nothing about it.
