Chapter 40 The Real World: Sharing a Bed
Fu Cinian's headache came on and off, and he knew his judgment was correct; there was definitely someone among the group of people he had just met whose condition was related to his.
Fu Cinian treated his headache as an alarm, trying to find out who was the one who could stop his headache.
He quickly identified the person as the beautiful young girl who had accompanied her younger brother. Fu Cinian followed her around the consultation room, the cashier, and the laboratory.
She's just an ordinary girl, maybe a little pretty, so why did she end up having this kind of connection with him?
As Fu Cinian followed behind Su Jinyue, he suddenly remembered that this girl had also appeared on the day he had his headache. She had been hit by his car and he had taken her to the hospital.
He remembered that the headache only lasted for a moment that day, probably because she was in the car, and then it didn't recur.
After she arrived at the hospital and left, her headache returned.
Fu Cinian sat outside the ward where Su Jinyue's younger brother was, reflecting on the events of the past few days. He realized that she seemed to have become his cure, although he didn't understand how he had gotten sick in the first place.
Subsequently, Fu Cinian asked his assistant, Lu, to investigate the girl, and that's how he learned about her situation.
She was an orphan and is currently in college. She also has a younger brother who was adopted but abandoned because of illness.
Fu Cinian held her information and thought about it all night, eliminating all possibilities and coming to the most unlikely conclusion.
His symptoms absolutely could not be known to his competitors, so Su Jinyue could only keep them under his control.
Fu Cinian originally wanted to sign a cohabitation agreement with her, but for some reason, a voice in his head kept telling him that he couldn't do it.
Therefore, Fu Cinian followed his heart and married her directly.
He left the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning after a busy day at the company. Fortunately, he had gotten used to the headache after these past few days, and after finishing today, he could finally rest at home for a few days.
Fu Cinian looked up and saw Su Jinyue, who had just finished cleaning the kitchen and was still somewhat reserved.
As soon as he entered the door, his headache disappeared. After suffering for the past few days, he realized how fortunate it is to be a healthy person.
Finally free from the unbearable headache, Fu Cinian just wanted to rest.
But seeing the cautious Su Jinyue, he went to eat first.
"Is that your luggage by the door?" Fu Cinian glanced at the suitcase by the door; it was small and probably contained very little.
The room remained unchanged, except for Su Jinyue and the suitcase.
Su Jinyue glanced at her suitcase, nodded, and replied, "It's mine. I don't know what to do with it. Today I just read a book on the balcony for a while, and then I cooked..."
“Hmm,” Fu Cinian listened, then suddenly stood up, walked over, and pulled her suitcase inside.
"Come on, I'll take you to the bedroom."
Su Jinyue didn't know how the topic suddenly turned to this, but she couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so she could only follow Fu Cinian and walk towards the bedroom.
Fu Cinian led Su Jinyue into the bedroom, turned on the light, and without stopping, pushed his suitcase directly into the walk-in closet.
The walk-in closet was already half empty. Fu Cinian placed Su Jinyue's suitcase in front of the empty wardrobe before turning around to talk to Su Jinyue, who had followed him in.
"This is the walk-in closet. The space has been cleared out. Just pack your things and put them in. Since we don't know your style, we haven't prepared any clothes for you yet. Tomorrow, Assistant Lu will have someone from the store bring some clothes to your home, and you can choose directly."
Fu Cinian spoke in a deep, methodical voice about his arrangements for her.
Su Jinyue knew that once he made a decision, no one was allowed to refuse, and besides, these things were nothing to Fu Cinian, so she nodded in agreement.
Seeing Su Jinyue nod obediently, Fu Cinian's expression softened, and he seemed somewhat pleased.
"Then you can pack your things first. The bathroom is just outside the walk-in closet, feel free to use it. I'll head out now."
As he spoke, Fu Cinian took a set of pajamas from the wardrobe opposite and went out.
Su Jinyue looked back in the direction Fu Cinian had left before opening her suitcase to pack.
She didn't have many things; just a few lonely items hung in her wardrobe. Compared to Fu Cinian's wardrobe, which was crammed full, the contrast was indeed stark.
After packing her clothes, Su Jinyue hesitated for a moment, but decided to take a shower first. She had already showered once during the day, so a quick rinse would be fine.
After taking a shower, Su Jinyue slowly returned to her bedroom wearing an elegant cotton dress that reached her ankles.
The bedroom light was not very bright; Fu Cinian must have turned off the previous incandescent bulb, and the warm-toned light looked very soft now.
There was no one in bed. Su Jinyue looked around before finally spotting Fu Cinian's silhouette on the single sofa on the side of the room.
Su Jinyue tiptoed over, and Fu Cinian had his eyes closed, seemingly already asleep.
Mr. Fu,
She called softly, but he didn't respond; she didn't know if he hadn't heard her or was asleep.
She took another step closer, thinking that if he was tired, it would be better for him to rest in bed.
Just as Su Jinyue's hand touched Fu Cinian's arm, Fu Cinian suddenly woke up, grabbed Su Jinyue's wrist with his strong hand, and pulled her forward, causing her to lose her balance.
Before she could figure out what was going on, Fu Cinian pulled her into his arms.
Su Jinyue sat on Fu Cinian's lap, her waist held firmly by him. With her back to Fu Cinian, she could even feel his breath hitting the back of her neck.
“Mr. Fu,” Su Jinyue said, somewhat nervous and uneasy.
"Hmm?" Fu Cinian's voice was heavy with weariness, and hoarse from being disturbed from sleep.
Are you tired? Should you get some rest?
Fu Cinian did not answer. He reached out and brushed Su Jinyue's long hair, which was draped over her back, aside. He lowered his head and buried it in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent.
What do you smell like?
Su Jinyue's body was a little stiff, after all, they were not familiar with each other at all, but the current posture made them look like intimate lovers.
She leaned gently against Fu Cinian's chest and whispered, "I didn't bring any shower gel. The bathroom has all your toiletries, so I used yours."
"Okay, let's go to sleep then." Before Su Jinyue could react, Fu Cinian moved his hand from her waist to her knee, and picked her up as he stood up.
Caught off guard, Su Jinyue instinctively hugged Fu Cinian's neck. The next second, she was placed on the bed, and then a warm body pressed against her.
