Chapter 181: Chapter 181: It feels pretty good when you press it

Every time Lu Youxi heard Zhou Shuyan make that uncomfortable sound, she became tense along with him.

"Should we have the driver stop by the side of the road so I can buy you a bottle of water?" Lu Youxi frowned and suggested, no longer caring about her own motion sickness.

Zhou Shuyan didn’t lift his face from Lu Youxi’s shoulder and shook his head against it, "No need, I just need to rest at home."

Lu Youxi thought that made sense, getting home earlier would let Zhou Shuyan relax sooner.

Lu Youxi hesitated, raising her hand, her fingertips hovering beside Zhou Shuyan’s face, yet she delayed in making contact.

At that moment, Zhou Shuyan’s brow suddenly furrowed deeply.

Lu Youxi promptly asked, "Do you have a headache?"

"A little," Zhou Shuyan murmured in a low voice.

"Then... should I give you a massage?" Lu Youxi asked softly.

"Okay," Zhou Shuyan said, his voice seeming even more delicate.

Lu Youxi didn’t understand why his voice sounded so weak, but her fingertips had already touched Zhou Shuyan’s temples.

In order to press the right spot, she had to turn her head to look at Zhou Shuyan.

Although her lips were careful not to touch him this time, her nose inevitably brushed across Zhou Shuyan’s forehead.

Her breath, so close, sprinkled lightly across his brow and on his gently closed eyelids.

Zhou Shuyan’s eyelids trembled fiercely, as if his breathing trembled along with them, entwining with Lu Youxi’s own.

Lu Youxi pursed her lips nervously, afraid to speak.

After massaging for a while, Zhou Shuyan, feeling sorry for Lu Youxi, worried that she was getting tired, spoke up, "Take a break for a while."

Lu Youxi stopped and asked him, "Do you feel a bit better?"

"It felt quite nice while you were doing it," answered Zhou Shuyan, implying that the discomfort returned when she stopped.

Lu Youxi: "..."

It was then that the taxi finally came to a stop.

Lu Youxi’s attention was fixed on Zhou Shuyan, and being so close to him made her truly nervous, to the point of not noticing anything else.

And with the dark night outside, the surroundings were not as easy to recognize as in the daytime.

If the driver hadn’t announced their arrival, Lu Youxi wouldn’t have realized they were already at the entrance of their apartment building.

Lu Youxi paid the fare and helped Zhou Shuyan out of the car.

Zhou Shuyan was unsteady on his feet, leaning on Lu Youxi as they walked.

With Lu Youxi’s support, Zhou Shuyan simply leaned all his weight onto her, his arm snug against hers.

Lu Youxi pressed the elevator button and was relieved while helping him into the elevator that her rented apartment had one; otherwise, just helping Zhou Shuyan up the stairs would have been trouble.

Lu Youxi was also perplexed—Zhou Shuyan had seemed perfectly upright and proper at the entrance of the restaurant, showing no signs of intoxication.

How had he become even more drunk after the car ride?

"Zhou Shuyan, how much did you actually drink?" Lu Youxi couldn’t help wondering. "You seemed fine at the restaurant entrance earlier, didn’t you?"

"..." Zhou Shuyan dodged the question for a moment before saying, "Maybe it was the breeze, coupled with motion sickness, that brought out the alcohol."

"At the restaurant entrance earlier, it wouldn’t have been proper to lose face in front of the clients," said Zhou Shuyan leaning on Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi thought to herself, you sure don’t lose face in front of clients, but you dare to be wilful with me.

When the elevator arrived, Lu Youxi helped Zhou Shuyan to the entrance of their home. Just as she was about to fish the key out of her pocket to unlock the door, Liu Yushu’s voice came from inside, "Is it Youxi and Xiao Zhou returning?"

"Mom, it’s me," Lu Youxi quickly replied.

As soon as her words fell, the door was opened by Liu Yushu, who was surprised to see that Zhou Shuyan had been helped back by Lu Youxi. "Did Xiao Zhou drink a lot?"

Lu Youxi covered for him, "Discussing business, meeting clients, it’s all inevitable."

Zhou Shuyan smiled at Lu Youxi, and Liu Yushu almost saw honey dripping from his eyes at the sight, which made her chuckle.

Lu Youxi helped Zhou Shuyan to the room while Liu Yushu stood at the doorway of her bedroom saying, "I’ll make Xiao Zhou a cup of honey water."

Zhou Shuyan had just sat down at the edge of the bed and immediately got up, saying, "Mom, don’t bother, I’ll take care of it."

"Hey, you can’t do it in your condition, don’t overdo it," said Liu Yushu, about to leave but Lu Youxi stopped her.

"I’ll do it," said Lu Youxi. "You and Dad should rest."

Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu woke early in the morning and went to bed early at night.

Plus, with Lu Zhenguo supervising the internet cafe renovation during the day and Liu Yushu in charge of house cleaning, cooking, and taking care of Lu Youxue, her days were anything but easy.

Additionally, to quickly adapt to life in the Imperial Capital and to avoid troubling Lu Youxi, Liu Yushu took any spare time to explore, expanding her range further each time, hoping to familiarize herself with the Imperial Capital as soon as possible.

Thus, both were quite tired now.

"Okay," Liu Yushu yawned, leaving the space to the young couple.

Lu Youxi went to the kitchen and made Zhou Shuyan a cup of honey water to bring back, handing it to him, "Here, drink some."

"Mhm," Zhou Shuyan drank the honey water all at once, then stood up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Lu Youxi quickly asked.

"To wash the cup," Zhou Shuyan said, he couldn’t let Lu Youxi wash it.

"Just sit down, I’ll wash it," said Lu Youxi, taking the cup from Zhou Shuyan’s hand.

Zhou Shuyan regretted pretending to be drunk, now causing Lu Youxi to be busy back and forth.

When Lu Youxi came back, she was surprised to find that Zhou Shuyan had already changed into his pajamas.

Had he moved that quickly?

"Do you want to shower first?" Zhou Shuyan, sitting on the bed in his pajamas, looked especially well-behaved.

Lu Youxi shook her head, "I had showered before coming to get you. You go ahead."

Lu Youxi realized that she was starting to get used to sharing a room with Zhou Shuyan.

Even discussing something like bathing had become completely natural.

Zhou Shuyan nodded and steadied himself against the wall as he made his way to the bathroom.

Acting had to be thorough.

Lu Youxi was a bit worried about Zhou Shuyan’s condition, wondering if he would be alright showering.

She prepared a bed on the floor for Zhou Shuyan.

Zhou Shuyan was quick to shower this time, and not long after Lu Youxi had finished preparing, he came out.

Lu Youxi quickly lay down in bed.

Although she had become accustomed to sharing a room with Zhou Shuyan, she still felt a bit shy every time it came to sleep.

Zhou Shuyan turned off the light.

Lu Youxi didn’t turn on the bedside lamp this time.

Her room wasn’t large, and Zhou Shuyan, now accustomed to it, was familiar with the layout.

No need to worry about him bumping into anything after turning off the lights anymore.

In the darkness, she heard the rustling sound of the duvet being lifted at the side of the bed. After a while, the noise ceased, and Lu Youxi knew Zhou Shuyan had settled down.

Lu Youxi lay flat, her gaze aimlessly falling outside the window.
