After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 196 - 194: Back to Square One

When it was time to sleep at night, Qin Yun once again took out her pillow technique, placing two pillows between them. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"You sleep on the left, I’ll sleep on the right." Qin Yun decisively pointed at the bed and said.

Pei Yan looked at the pillows separating them, pondering: Could it be that things have progressed too fast recently and scared her?

After Qin Yun said this, she crawled into her own side of the bed. Seeing Pei Yan still standing there with his peach blossom eyes open, she asked, puzzled, "Aren’t you going to sleep?"

Pei Yan pressed his lips, "I request to remove those two pillows in the middle."

"Request denied." Qin Yun rejected him expressionlessly.

While taking a bath just now, she suddenly recalled the question she had while soaking in the hot spring; perhaps it’s because they’ve had too much contact that Pei Yan has changed from before. Maybe it’s due to the mating season, but if they reduce contact and only touch when absolutely necessary until the season ends, he should soon return to normal.

So now they were in this situation.

After being rejected, Pei Yan could only helplessly lift the blanket and get onto the bed.

To restrain herself, Qin Yun even wrapped herself up in a circle on both sides, turning herself into a cocooned baby to prevent herself from rolling over to Pei Yan’s side again.

Seeing this, Pei Yan suddenly felt a bit of a headache.

Qin Yun saw him silent and thought he was worried she would cross the line again in the middle of the night. She solemnly assured him, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t roll over to your side tonight. Trust me!"

Hearing Qin Yun’s assurance, Pei Yan was not relieved but extremely displeased!!

His handsome face visibly darkened, lips tightly pressed, and his temple twitched hard.

The little habit he had worked so hard to cultivate!! It’s just gone like that!!

Qin Yun looked at Pei Yan again, seeing his eyes slightly drooping, face solemn, lips tightly pressed, visibly radiating coldness, she smiled satisfactorily, this is the Pei Yan she knew!

She thought, as long as they continued like this, Pei Yan should soon return to normal.

Qin Yun silently gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

Having resolved a troublesome issue, Qin Yun happily turned over and soon fell into a deep sleep.

However, Pei Yan felt not a hint of sleepiness, his gaze was fixed on the soundly sleeping, cocooned Qin Yun, and his mood became even more agitated.

Her sudden move completely disrupted all his plans.

Did she sense something was wrong and became alert?

This thought was quickly dismissed by Pei Yan. If Qin Yun had really caught on, she would know the mating season didn’t exist, and knowing this, with her temperament, it wouldn’t be settled so simply.

Rarely anxious, Pei Yan furrowed his brow. Once Qin Yun intentionally kept her distance, he couldn’t openly close the gap anymore.

It was like going back to before liberation.

No, at least before liberation, she was defenseless, and some small actions could still be done. Now, it’s not even as good as before liberation!!

That night, Qin Yun, having soaked in the hot spring, slept very soundly, and when she woke up, it was already past nine. She turned her head and saw that Pei Yan was still sleeping, with a faint shadow of blue beneath his eyes caused by his eyelashes.

Qin Yun looked surprised at that patch of blue. Did Pei Yan not sleep last night?

She lay there for a while, touching her flat stomach, feeling so hungry...

It seemed like it had been a long time since she felt this clearly hungry.

But looking at the still sleeping Pei Yan, in the end, Qin Yun had to get up and find something to eat herself.

She gently lifted the blanket and got out of bed, only to be pulled back by Pei Yan’s long arm as he felt her move. With a morning huskiness akin to a murmur, he said, "Stay with me and sleep a bit longer."

Qin Yun fell onto the pillow between them, her head bumping directly into his chest, and she let out a low cry, "Ow— it hurts."

The hit woke Pei Yan up too, and as he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a fluffy head.

"What are you doing in this position?" Pei Yan asked with a hoarse voice, mingled with a slight nasal tone from just waking up, though there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.

"You have the nerve to ask; if you hadn’t suddenly pulled me, how would I fall like this." Qin Yun sat up and complained.

Then her gaze fell on the bluish shadow under his eyes, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Did you not sleep last night? Your dark circles are so heavy."

Pei Yan lazily yawned, "Yeah, suddenly felt empty without you, couldn’t sleep, so I just thought about some things."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun fell silent for a while: "..."

So, Pei Yan didn’t sleep last night because she didn’t let him hold her?

Qin Yun thought maybe she was overthinking; they hadn’t even slept together that many times.

She wasn’t conceited enough to think that Pei Yan had gotten so used to having her in his arms after only a few nights; it was probably because he had a habit of hugging something while sleeping, and the sudden change of bed made him unaccustomed.

That made more sense.

Although Pei Yan seemed to be yawning, he was watching Qin Yun from the corner of his eye, capturing all her expressions. Seeing her sudden realization, his eyes darkened a bit, and he furrowed his brow.

"Do you want to sleep a bit longer? I’ll get up and order something to eat, I’m hungry." Qin Yun said as she was about to get out of bed, giving him a pillow thoughtfully, "How about you make do with this?"

Pei Yan: "..."

He looked at the extra pillow in front of him with mixed feelings, staring at Qin Yun with her wide, expectant eyes. This was too much!!

He could only silently accept the ’replacement’ pillow, sighing as he said, "I’ll order for you; you go freshen up."

"Okay!" Qin Yun immediately nodded.

Qin Yun went to freshen up, and Pei Yan didn’t continue to sleep; he got up as well.

After they had breakfast, they headed straight to the next variety show recording location, B City.

Their luggage would be taken there directly by Pei Yan’s manager.

While they were still on the private plane, messages in their group chat started coming in fast and furious.

Six-person team.
