When the weather was hot, although the two of them wore conservative pajamas, they would still choose loose ones to wear. But now that the temperature was gradually dropping, Xiao Zheng picked up the long johns that he hadn't worn for a long time. Firstly, it was to keep warm, and secondly, he was afraid that he would expose his embarrassing leg hair and be despised by Lin Huayin, who was as naked as jade.
Naturally, Lin Huayin couldn't wear loose pajamas when he dressed like that. And once the restraining ability increased, the occasional friction between the two of them under the blanket would become more sensitive and intense.
Of course, it wasn't that Lin Huayin didn't suggest that they each have their own blanket. But Xiao Zheng rejected it, saying that the blanket was too big and that it was easy to fall off the bed and catch a cold. Lin Huayin didn't insist, but she clearly stated that they must wear pajamas and couldn't just wear underwear for warmth.
As a coastal city and a typical riverside city, Pearl City's climate could be said to be constantly changing and unpredictable. It might still be sunny in the afternoon, but at night, it might be cold and wet. Therefore, autumn in Pearl City was always the peak season for influenza. It also made it hard for citizens who weren't physically strong to guard against it. If they were careless, they might fall sick in bed.
With Xiao Zheng warming the bed, Lin Huayin, who was afraid of the cold, could naturally sleep comfortably. But the two of them wrapped in the same blanket also had a certain degree of risk. Especially when Xiao Zheng didn't sleep well and liked to move around …
The two of them lay quietly on the bed, but the sound of the wind came from outside the window. Just listening to it was enough to send chills down one's spine. Xiao Zheng, who had experienced too many accidents that night, wasn't sleepy at all. He stared at the ceiling with both hands on the pillow, and his expression wasn't relaxed.
After Lin Huayin crawled under the blanket, she habitually slept on her side and never took the initiative to talk to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng, who couldn't sleep, tilted his head and glanced at Lin Huayin, whose side profile was covered by her silky black hair. His heart was filled with regret and guilt.
If it wasn't for him, why would Lin Huayin be maliciously harassed by the Han Family? It was one thing to fail to get listed, but now, almost half of the core team had been poached. How was she going to deal with this problem on Monday? Was she going to gather a hundred elites and rush to Yan Jing?
Once the plan is put on hold, Xin Ao's internal morale will be shaken. They will question Xin Ao's ability to execute and internal problems. They might even suspect Lin Huayin, thinking that this ice-cold woman was not capable enough to steer the ship.
He quietly gazed at Lin Huayin's slender and delicate back for a while. In fact, sometimes, she didn't appear so cold and aloof. At least, Xiao Zheng could sense the fatigue in Lin Huayin's heart after getting along with her for a long time.
After all, she was just a woman.
Moreover, she was a woman who isolated herself and did not talk to anyone, not even her family. The fact that she was able to get to where she was today was enough to make countless people look up to and worship her. But how difficult would the road ahead be for Lin Huayin?
Xiao Zheng called out with heartache, "Are you asleep?"
She didn't say it because she simply didn't want to tell Xiao Zheng, and she felt that there was no need to tell Xiao Zheng. But who knew that she didn't say it because she didn't want Xiao Zheng to worry about her?
"No." Lin Huayin, whose back was facing Xiao Zheng, said faintly. Her tone was clear. She sounded tired, but not sleepy.
"Is there something on your mind?" Xiao Zheng didn't dare to say that he looked at her computer. As a woman who cared a lot about her privacy, Xiao Zheng could imagine the terrible consequences if Lin Huayin found out that she had peeked at her computer.
"No." Lin Huayin was still as calm as water.
"I guess you do." Xiao Zheng teased. "Otherwise, you would be asleep now."
"I drank coffee at night. Insomnia. "Lin Huayin explained casually.
"I just looked at the amount of coffee. You didn't drink coffee tonight." Xiao Zheng said.
"— —"
This guy actually had the habit of looking at the amount of coffee?
Lin Huayin couldn't continue and said faintly, "Go to sleep."
"I can't sleep." Xiao Zheng said.
"Then don't disturb me." Lin Huayin gently changed to a more comfortable sleeping position and said in a weak voice. "I am sleepy."
"Liar." Xiao Zheng tempted. "You have been looking at the computer just now. Obviously, something big happened. I think even if you lie down for a night, you may not be able to sleep. "
Lin Huayin's movement was slightly stiff, and she said unhappily, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to help you." Xiao Zheng said. "And I believe I have the ability to help you."
"No need." Lin Huayin said coldly. "I don't need anyone's help."
"Even if it's your husband?" Xiao Zheng asked straightforwardly.
Lin Huayin was silent.
Although from a certain point of view, she and Xiao Zheng had nothing to do with each other. They were not even bound by the law. But from another point of view, she and Xiao Zheng did have a special relationship. Otherwise, how could they still sleep in the same bed?
Some things were not pointed out, but it didn't mean that they didn't exist. Therefore, Lin Huayin couldn't refute Xiao Zheng's words against her will. On the contrary, when she heard this, she felt an inexplicable throbbing and warmth in her heart.
Yes.
She didn't have any friends, and she never poured out her difficulties and troubles to any of her relatives. In fact, since she left the Lin family, she had never asked for anyone's help all these years. Whether it was in terms of money or work. She relied on her own hard work to get to where she was today step by step. She didn't lower her head to anyone, and she didn't ask anyone for help.
But at this moment, Xiao Zheng said that even her husband couldn't help her?
Could a woman refuse her husband's help? If she refused, how could she be considered a good woman or a good wife?
"I know that our relationship as husband and wife is over," Xiao Zheng said with a solemn look in his eyes. "But we didn't end this relationship because of any unpleasant reasons. So, I can still care about you and help you as your ex-husband. And you shouldn't refuse. You can't refuse. "
In the end, Xiao Zheng's tone was slightly domineering. It revealed an unquestionable majesty.
"It's just a small problem. I can solve it myself, "Lin Huayin said with a complicated tone.
"Even if you don't need my help," Xiao Zheng paused and continued. "Can't I help you bear it?"
"It's enough for one person to have a headache. Why do you have to get involved? "Lin Huayin said lightly.
"I am the person who sleeps beside you," Xiao Zheng said honestly. "I feel that I have this obligation and responsibility."
"You just said that you are no longer my husband," Lin Huayin said meaningfully.
"Then I have more advantages than other men," Xiao Zheng said boldly. "Even if I pursue you again, I only need a marriage certificate. I don't have to start with holding hands and confessing."
Then, he held Lin Huayin's slightly cold palm and said word by word, "What do you think?"
