Chapter 32
Dai Shiyuan was woken by the sunlight outside.
The moment she opened her eyes, she found it so glaring that she had to raise a hand to block it.
Last night, she had slept very uneasily. She kept feeling a little hot, and in her dreams, it seemed as though someone was always covering her with the blanket.
Dai Shiyuan lowered her head and glanced down. The blanket had already slipped to her waist.
Her gaze moved upward, and she could see her pajamas hanging loosely on her body, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.
Dai Shiyuan’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly fixed her clothes.
Fortunately, the female lead was not in the room. Otherwise, she really would have felt a little awkward and ashamed.
If the female lead had really been covering her with the blanket all night yesterday, didn’t that mean she would have seen the way Dai Shiyuan had exposed her skin?
Would she laugh at her for having a small chest?
Dai Shiyuan frowned and placed her hands on her chest, sinking into deep contemplation about her dignity.
When Shan Yaxin came in carrying breakfast, what she saw was the person on the bed lowering her head with both hands placed on her chest, her posture strange.
Shan Yaxin immediately lowered her eyes and quietly backed out.
Her younger sister-in-law’s habit of rubbing her chest after waking up was truly special. Shan Yaxin completely could not understand it.
Dai Shiyuan sat there for a while and finally dispelled her sense of shame.
When she had been in university, the girls in the dormitory liked comparing chest sizes, and some would even expose their bodies without the slightest concern.
She had never participated in such behavior. She always felt it was very embarrassing.
Occasionally, when she heard other people discussing adult topics, she would silently listen, not interested in those things.
Compared with dating, she wanted to study hard, find a good job, earn money, and reduce the pressure on her family.
So in certain aspects, she counted as the conservative type in other people’s impressions.
Dai Shiyuan sighed, got out of bed, and went to wash up. In the mirror, what reflected back was a pair of eyes filled with complicated emotions.
The previous person who had tirelessly covered her with the blanket like this had been her mother.
Now, it was actually the female lead “taking care” of her like this. It truly made her feelings a little complicated…
Dai Shiyuan spat out the water from rinsing her mouth, organized the expression on her face, then walked out of the bathroom.
When she turned her head, she saw the female lead arranging breakfast by the bed. The action of bending down and lowering her head looked gentle and virtuous.
In that instant, it was as if Dai Shiyuan’s heart had been struck by a hammer, shaking fiercely.
Although she did not want the female lead to take care of her, when there really was someone willing to take care of her, her heart still stirred with a trace of emotion.
It would have been even better if this person were not the female lead.
Hearing the sound behind her, Shan Yaxin raised her head and turned around, a gentle smile appearing on her beautiful face. “Xiao Yuan, eat some breakfast.”
Dai Shiyuan narrowed her eyes. She did not know whether it was because of the sunlight, but she felt that this smile was a little too dazzling.
Suppressing the waves in her heart, Dai Shiyuan answered calmly with an “mm.”
While she ate breakfast, the female lead stood quietly to the side and watched her eat, just like she had done back at the villa.
Several times, Dai Shiyuan wanted to ask the female lead to eat breakfast with her, but she still held back.
For the sake of her little life, she absolutely had to keep her distance from the female lead.
Watching Dai Shiyuan finish eating, Shan Yaxin smiled lightly and said gently, “There are some matters at school I need to handle. I’ll come back at noon. Xiao Yuan, if anything happens, contact the nurse or call me.”
“Mm, I know.” Dai Shiyuan nodded lightly and sat by the bed, holding back from asking about the blanket-covering matter from last night.
Shan Yaxin did not mind this cold attitude at all. With a mild expression, she took the breakfast trash and left.
Listening as the female lead’s footsteps grew farther and farther away, Dai Shiyuan immediately sat up. After thinking about it, she walked to the window and stood there.
After a while, the female lead’s tall figure appeared in her field of vision.
She did not know who Shan Yaxin was talking to on the phone, but her face was overflowing with an extremely happy expression. Even from far away, Dai Shiyuan could feel that joy from the female lead.
It was completely different from the polite smile she revealed when facing Dai Shiyuan.
Dai Shiyuan frowned.
Was it because she had acted too unapproachable that the female lead felt somewhat uneasy, making the smile she showed Dai Shiyuan never quite sincere enough?
After thinking for a while, Dai Shiyuan did not arrive at any good conclusion.
But being able to maintain distance from the female lead was still not bad. At least, it achieved her goal.
Without the female lead staying here, Dai Shiyuan felt much freer.
She happily played on her phone for a while, when suddenly, pain came from her abdomen.
After a few seconds, that painful feeling disappeared again.
Dai Shiyuan rubbed her stomach and thought about what she had eaten in the past few days, discovering that she had not eaten anything random.
This pain had come very inexplicably.
Dai Shiyuan thought seriously for a while, but still could not find a reason. She could only attribute it to being too exhausted from military training recently.
Fortunately, it only hurt that one time, and there was no reaction afterward.
Dai Shiyuan happily played on her phone, and time quickly reached noon.
She glanced outside the door, but there was no sign of the female lead.
Touching her somewhat hungry stomach, Dai Shiyuan pursed her lips and continued playing on her phone, only occasionally lifting her head to look outside the door.
About half an hour later, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the corridor.
Dai Shiyuan pricked up her ears and listened for a while, then knew it was the female lead. She immediately lowered her head and pretended to be focused on playing with her phone.
After silently counting to ten in her heart, a tall figure appeared at the door, with that familiar smile on her face.
Shan Yaxin held a boxed meal in her hand. After calming her heartbeat, she smiled and said, “Xiao Yuan, sorry. I was delayed by something, so I came late. I hope you won’t blame Sister-in-law.”
Dai Shiyuan put down her phone and nodded calmly.
