Rebirth of the Film Emperor's Beloved Wife

Chapter 32 - Half and Half Again

Su Yanyi shook off 001 and wrapped herself in a bathrobe before leaving the bathroom. She was greeted by the sight of Qin Jiran sitting stiffly on the sofa. When he saw her come out, he immediately shot to his feet.

She could tell that he was embarrassed, but she chose not to comment on it. Ignoring him, she picked up a clean towel and started to dry her hair. However, because her hair was too long, a few tresses kept slipping out. Impatient, her movements increased in aggression until her head eventually started to hurt.

Qin Jiran asked tentatively, "I can help you with that?"

He simply couldn't bear to stand by and watch as Su Yanyi destroyed her own hair. It made his heart ache, so the question had involuntarily slipped out.

Thinking he had been too abrupt, he looked at her awkwardly and hurriedly tried to explain, "Your scalp will hurt if you keep doing that."

Su Yanyi stopped wiping her hair and looked up, scrutinizing him as if skeptical about his intentions, but then she recalled his attentive care for her during her time as a human vegetable and relaxed.

"Okay," she agreed, surprising him when she passed the towel over. However, he quickly recovered. Carefully, he helped her dry her hair, and although he actually wasn't very experienced, his movements were exceptionally gentle and attentive. He made sure that he wasn't hurting her at all.

Soon, he became more skillful, and he even started to lightly massage her scalp as he carried out his ministrations. It felt so comfortable that Su Yanyi felt her eyes droop a bit.

As expected, this man was good at taking care of others!

Just as she finished praising him in her heart, a wave of displeasure washed over her. What was she thinking?

Rather than saying he was good at taking care of other, it should be said that he was good at taking care of her, and only her.

After all, this man was hers. How could she let him go and take care of other people?

After Qin Jiran helped Su Yanyi wipe her hair, he went to take a shower. She got on her bed and habitually settled down right in the center. Then, she remembered Qin Jiran and immediately moved over to one side.

She even measured the space with her eyes to make sure it was a half of the bed before she laid down, propped her head up with a pillow, and started to read a book.

Soon, Qin Jiran —now in pajamas— stepped out of the bathroom. There was still heat coming off of him, and he looked very much at home. Glancing over, Su Yanyi realized that it was her first time seeing this side of him.

Normally when she saw him, he would be in formal to semi-formal attire; it was very different from how he looked currently.

Seeing the space she'd made for him on the bed, his eyes flashed, and he got on the bed. He laid down and... remained completely motionless.

On the outside, it seemed like Su Yanyi was reading a book, but she was actually observing Qin Jiran. Seeing him lie there like a corpse with his eyes closed, the corners of her lips twitched, and a trace of amusement appeared in her eyes.

Stupid man! He was so slow-witted and stupid, no wonder her past self never realized that he liked her.

He doesn't even know how to take the initiative, this stupid man!

No matter how much she wanted to interact with him so they could understand each other more, she was helpless to the fact that neither she nor Qin Jiran was good with words. When they were together, work was essentially the only thing they talked about.
