Shuxin squatted down to spread the quilt and said, "I'll sleep on the floor."
Huo Yanqing walked over to Shuxin. He bent down to pick up the quilt on the floor and folded it.
"Fifth Uncle, what are you doing?" Shuxin frowned.
"It's too cold to sleep on the floor. It's not good for your health." Huo Yanqing folded the quilt and carried it to the closet.
"But where else am I going to sleep if not on the floor?" Shuxin considered sleeping on the sofa in the living room. However, what if Yao Huiqin woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and saw her? Wouldn't her identity as his fake girlfriend be exposed?
"I'll sleep on the bed."
"What about you?"
"I'll sleep on the bed too."
"…" Shuxin's heart began to race. She would never have the guts to sleep on the same bed as Yao Huiqin's Fifth Uncle.
Huo Yanqing put down the quilt and came back. He took Shuxin's hand and led her to the bed. "Don't worry. I won't touch you."
Huo Yanqing's words made Shuxin freeze in the middle of pulling her hand away. Her face instantly turned red and she felt a little disappointed. She lowered her head and said softly, "I know. Fifth Uncle, you don't get close to women. Even if you want to touch someone, you won't touch someone as insignificant as me."
Huo Yanqing stopped in his tracks. He turned to face Shuxin and smiled. "Are you upset?"
"No." She had no right to be upset. She was nobody to him. As if afraid that Huo Yanqing would not believe her, Shuxin said solemnly, "I'm really not upset. I just think that we're not a real couple. It's not appropriate for us to sleep together."
Huo Yanqing pursed his lips and remained silent for a few seconds. He raised his hand and gently rubbed Shuxin's head. "You're still young. Don't get a boyfriend."
Shuxin said sullenly, "Okay."
Huo Yanqing held Shuxin's hand as they walked to the bed, and the two of them slept separately.
Shuxin lay straight on the bed with her hands by her side. Her heart was pounding, and she could clearly hear Huo Yanqing's steady breathing.
She was nervous and shy, but there was also a hint of excitement and sweetness. So this was what it felt like to share a bed with Fifth Uncle.
Shuxin's small hands slightly clenched at the sides of her body, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. She had been quietly listening to Huo Yanqing's breathing, and she actually felt that it was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to fall asleep.
After an unknown amount of time. "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Shuxin was shocked that Uncle Wu was still awake. She pursed her lips nervously and said, "… I'm thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Yanqing raised one hand and placed it behind his head. His bent elbow happened to rest on Shuxin's head.
Shuxin froze for a moment and gently moved her body down. "Isn't it inappropriate for us to lie to Auntie Yao like this?"
"Yes." Huo Yanqing paused for a moment and said, "So we can't lie to her."
"Yes, yes." Shuxin nodded in agreement. "How about I tell her the truth tomorrow?"
"No, it'll be fine after a while."
Would the lie automatically become the truth after a while? Or would she confess to Yao Huiqin after a while?
Shuxin didn't quite understand what Huo Yanqing's words meant, and in the end, she just obeyed and said, "Okay."
"Go to sleep."
"Okay."
Shuxin was afraid that she would fall asleep and wake up in Huo Yanqing's arms like last time at Tingzhu Villa, so she slept on tenterhooks the whole night. She got up as soon as dawn broke.
Shuxin washed up and made breakfast. Huo Yanqing and Yao Huiqin were both up.
