Chapter 41-42

Chapter 41: Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth

It was late at night and the bathroom was dimly lit.

　　Hot water gushed out of the shower head. Ning Yi stood under the shower head and pulled up all the hair on his forehead. He had been lying on his side reading for a long time. Yu Fengyue came over and said that in order to save electricity, the lights had to be turned off. Ning Yi had no choice but to come out, wash up, and go to bed.

　　After taking a shower and putting on soft clothes, he went out. Yu Fengyue was sitting on the bed in the bedroom, flipping through a familiar book in her hand. She heard him come in but didn't look up.

　　Ning Yi sat down on the edge of the bed, and the quilt sank a bit.

　　"Are you going to bed?"

　　Yu Fengyue seemed to have just noticed him. She glanced at him sideways and threw the notebook to him. "If you can't sleep, read it to me. That's your 'price'."

　　He pronounced the word "price" very lightly and stared at Ning Yi's face.

　　After removing the contact lenses, her eyes returned to the look that Ning Yi was familiar with before.

　　The notebook hit Ning Yi's chest with a loud clattering sound, and then slid from his chest to his legs. "Ah... You're so rough, it will get damaged."

　　Yu Fengyue ignored his complaints, pulled the quilt and lay down, closing his eyes. The warm yellow light from the bedside fell between his eyebrows. Ning Yi glanced at him, picked up the notebook, sorted it out, and opened it.

　　"Do you really want me to read it out loud?" Ning Yi said.

　　Yu Fengyue: "Is it because you are speaking against your will that you can't say it?"

　　"I just feel...very ashamed."

　　"...If you want to stay here, just listen to me." Yu Fengyue said. Although she was threatening, her tone sounded casual and not like a threat at all.

　　"Got it, which part do you want to hear?"

　　"casual."

　　"How would I know if you don't tell me? What if I read something you don't like and make you angry?"

　　"You talk too much."

　　"I just want to be more thoughtful and don't want to see you unhappy." Ning Yi said.

　　Yu Fengyue's cheeks twitched.

　　Are you trying to please him? But he doesn't like it.

　　hypocritical.

　　But honestly my heartbeat was faster.

　　"I said whatever, stop saying annoying things."

　　"Ah... okay." Ning Yi compromised. He opened the notebook filled with his handwriting and paused on a certain page. His voice was low and gentle, and his tone was soothing. "Today is a sunny day. When I washed his hair, the water flowed down his neck. There were teeth marks on his neck that I left yesterday. It turned red. I really want to kiss it..."

　　"Change it." Yu Fengyue interrupted him.

　　Ning Yi said "OK" without any temper, and turned a few pages, reading: "The water cup was knocked over at night, and the water spilled on his shirt. Oh, by the way, the shirt was found with him in a men's clothing store this morning. He looks very good in the shirt, and the muscles on his waist and abdomen are really beautiful. I have touched it many times, and it feels great..."
