Chapter 1436: Chapter 1340: Mom, it’s so crowded, I want to sleep on the inside

Gu Qichen finished applying the medicine on Xia Yangyang and then turned and left.

Xia Yangyang let out a sigh of relief.

The water pipe at home had already been fixed.

Gu Qichen was helping Xia Ye with his bath.

Xia Yangyang was waiting outside.

There was nothing for entertainment in this room.

Xia Yangyang could only sit by the bed and zone out.

In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall the scene from the day when Gu Qichen carried her on his back.

Xia Yangyang remembered that feeling very clearly.

No, she couldn’t think about it anymore.

Xia Yangyang felt that she was nearly succumbing.

At night.

The three of them squeezed onto one small bed.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t sleep no matter what.

The bed was very small.

Xia Yangyang slept on the inside, Xia Ye in the middle, and Gu Qichen on the outside.

Because the bed was not so big, Gu Qichen always slept on his side so that there would be room for three.

And Xia Yangyang, leaning against the inside wall, just happened to be next to a window.

From Xia Yangyang’s perspective, she could perfectly see the night scenery outside.

The interwoven branches shook in the night breeze.

And a bright moon hung peculiarly atop the treetops.

The moon here seemed different from the one seen in the city, like a huge white jade plate.

Moonlight penetrated through the window, scattering over the small bed.

Xia Yangyang turned her body slightly and looked at Xia Ye’s side profile.

The child was sleeping very peacefully.

Even in sleep, one could discern his calm demeanor.

She had to admit, the child had a handsome face.

To have given birth to such a good-looking child filled Xia Yangyang with a small sense of pride and satisfaction.

And when Xia Yangyang slightly raised her head, she saw Gu Qichen’s profile.

Xia Yangyang had always thought Xia Ye looked very much like Gu Qichen.

But she had never observed closely.

Now, from the same angle, they really looked like a mini version carved out of the same mold.

This feeling was truly magical.

Xia Yangyang had completely lost the urge to sleep.

She was fully engrossed in looking at those two faces.

On a typical day, she wouldn’t dare to stare so blatantly at Gu Qichen.

Now, she seemed unable to get enough of looking at him.

The more she looked, the more a strange sense of fulfillment grew inside her.

It was only in the dead of night that Xia Yangyang dared to let these unruly and inappropriate emotions slowly trickle out.

Just at this moment, Xia Ye suddenly mumbled something.

Xia Yangyang hadn’t heard clearly, and thought he was waking up.

Leaning over, Xia Ye said: "Mommy, it’s so cramped, I want to sleep on the inside."

Xia Ye seemed to be half-awake, almost as if he was dreaming.

But each time Xia Ye furrowed his brows, Xia Yangyang’s heart would clench.

Xia Yangyang, without much thought, made space for Xia Ye.

Making Xia Yangyang sleep on the inside.

After Xia Ye shifted his position, he seemed to quiet down all at once.

The little guy turned over and fell asleep against the wall.

By the time Xia Yangyang realized it, she found herself already sleeping in the middle.

And next to herself, besides Xia Ye, there was also Gu Qichen.

It was very cramped in the middle.

If Xia Ye, a small kid, felt uncomfortable sleeping there, not to mention her as an adult.

Xia Yangyang was sleeping in the middle and could hardly move.

And her position just happened to face Gu Qichen.

Gu Qichen’s face was mere inches away, right in front of her.

So close that their breaths intertwined.

Xia Yangyang felt especially uneasy and just wanted to turn over.

Xia Yangyang slowly moved under the covers.

She was afraid of waking Gu Qichen, so she made her movements very slow.

Just when Xia Yangyang thought she was about to succeed, finally turning over to face Xia Ye,

She found that an extra force had appeared around her waist.

Xia Yangyang was unexpectedly pulled into an embrace.

Xia Yangyang almost cried out.

In fact, she did let out a soft cry and then instinctively covered her mouth.

Because there was a surveillance camera installed in the corner of the room.

Although the lights are off and the footage from the night won’t be shown to the audience,

Yet it still felt like being watched in secret.

Xia Yangyang covered her mouth, not letting herself make any noise.

But the hand across her waist was something Xia Yangyang simply couldn’t ignore.

And now, her back was pressed tightly against Gu Qichen’s chest.

Xia Yangyang could even feel Gu Qichen’s body heat and the sound of his heartbeat.

Xia Yangyang could no longer care about anything else, for her own heartbeat was getting faster and faster as if it was about to leap out of her chest at any second.

Xia Yangyang didn’t dare to move.

Her body stiff, she just shrunk in Gu Qichen’s embrace.

The room was very quiet.

So quiet that one could hear the breathing of Gu Qichen and Xia Ye.

Both of them seemed to be in deep sleep, their breaths steady and prolonged.

Only Xia Yangyang, at this moment, seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.

After an unknown period of time, Xia Yangyang finally calmed her emotions.

She reached her hand under the covers to try and move Gu Qichen’s arm from her waist.

But just as Xia Yangyang exerted some force,

Gu Qichen’s arm tightened, pulling her slightly closer to him.

Xia Yangyang felt as if she was being wrapped up in an invisible net.

The more she struggled, the tighter it became.

Xia Yangyang dared not try any longer.

But how was she supposed to sleep in this position?

Xia Yangyang thought she was sure to have a sleepless night.

However, Xia Yangyang didn’t expect that drowsiness would quickly overcome her,

And she soon fell asleep.

When Xia Yangyang’s breathing became even, the eyes behind her suddenly opened.

Gu Qichen took a deep, heavy breath.

Who would have known that pretending to sleep and regulating breathing would be such physical labor?

It was even more exhausting than staying up all night reviewing documents.

Even Gu Qichen felt he could hardly keep the pretense up any longer.

Fortunately, Xia Yangyang fell asleep at this time.

Gu Qichen finally could open his eyes.

How long...

had he not held her like this?

There was a faint fragrance in her hair, not the smell of shampoo.

It seemed to be inherent.

That fragrance was extremely familiar to Gu Qichen.

But it had been so long, he thought he had nearly forgotten it.

Xia Yangyang’s sleeping posture was like that of a child,

Always liking to curl up on her side into a ball.

Just like the position of a baby in the womb.

Gu Qichen read somewhere that such people are naturally lacking a sense of security.

In the past, Xia Yangyang always liked to sleep curled up against him,

And Gu Qichen was always accustomed to pulling her into his embrace.

Their forms seemed to fit together just perfectly.

Although Xia Yangyang was quite tall, she was thin, and when he held her in his arms, she was just a tiny bundle.

Always exceptionally heart-wrenching.

Gu Qichen held Xia Yangyang, watching her.

As if holding some treasured possession that had been lost and then found.
