Chapter 136 The Man with Insomnia
Chapter 136 The Man with Insomnia
It's been such a long day.
Xu Sui was a little tired and stopped thinking about it. She simply covered herself with the blanket, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
She has always had good sleep quality; whenever she feels sleepy, she can fall asleep within minutes of closing her eyes.
So, before long, Qin Yunzhou, who seemed to have fallen asleep long ago but had actually not fallen asleep yet, quickly realized that Xu Sui was already fast asleep.
He couldn't sleep at all. Every time he closed his eyes, all he could think about was the sentence he'd heard during the day: "Abort the child, divorce him, and I'll marry you."
This sentence seemed to keep repeating in his mind, disturbing him and making it difficult for him to fall asleep.
Qin Yunzhou felt a little depressed. The person next to him was asleep, so he simply opened his eyes and turned his head slightly to look at his profile.
The lights have all been turned off by now.
The night was pitch black, and even in autumn, there was little moonlight.
He couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but he could imagine Xu Sui's sleeping face based on their previous nights together.
At this moment, Xu Sui should have her eyes closed, with thick eyelashes, fair skin with a rosy glow, and a faint healthy pink hue. Her wispy hairs were messy, and her lips were a tempting red, making one want to look at her a few more times.
Her mother made her pajamas, and she wasn't used to buttoning them all the way up, so when she lay down, especially while sleeping, the neckline was always a little loose, clearly exposing her delicate, fair collarbone—a stark, white expanse…
Outside the window, autumn rain was falling steadily, and a cold wind was blowing.
The more Qin Yunzhou thought about it, the hotter and more unbearable he felt. Sweat beaded on his forehead. He subconsciously tugged at the collar of his pajamas and unbuttoned a few buttons to let in some fresh air, but he was still too hot. So he pulled the blanket off a little more.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little fortunate that he and Xu Sui had always slept under their own blankets, otherwise, what if they had woken up with all the noise tonight?
Thinking of this, Qin Yunzhou glanced at the woman sleeping soundly beside him, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment before finally settling on her stomach.
He raised his hand and gently touched it through the blanket.
The blanket was too thick; I couldn't feel anything with my fingers.
But at this moment, my empty heart seemed to be gradually filled by something, and I felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
It's as if the warmth of home that I've been longing for has finally become a reality.
No one knew that he actually disliked children at all, never had since childhood, never thought he would have children, and never thought about getting married and having children.
But fate is such a wonderful thing.
Qin Yunzhou still finds it hard to believe that he actually has a child and is a father.
When he married Xu Sui, he never thought they would have children until he found out she was pregnant.
are you happy?
I didn't seem particularly happy; I felt more surprised, bewildered, and responsible.
But gradually, they watched as the baby in Xu Sui's belly grew bigger and bigger.
His heart will gradually fill with joy and anticipation, looking forward to the child's healthy growth and birth.
Qin Yunzhou couldn't help but touch Xu Sui's belly every night, without missing a single one.
He used to read military books, but now the books he reads have unknowingly turned into parenting books.
……
Xu Sui slept very well that night.
She also had a dream.
I dreamt that two chubby little babies hugged my legs and called me "Mommy," refusing to let go and pestering me to tell them stories and play games.
She told them stories all night in her dream, and took them to wade in the clear stream and lie on the soft grass to bask in the sun.
The two little ones are so well-behaved, nestling on her chest, hugging her face and kissing her. Apart from being a bit clingy, they have no other problems.
I woke up to find it was already daylight.
Time to go to work.
A good night's sleep makes you feel different when you wake up in the morning; your skin may even be smoother, and you'll feel better.
Xu Sui had just opened her eyes and was getting ready to get up and go to work.
The next second, she lifted the covers, got out of bed, and saw the man still sleeping on the bed. She was a little surprised and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
She remembered that Qin Yunzhou always got up early, even though he had difficulty walking, it didn't stop him from getting up at six or seven in the morning.
Looking at the sky outside, it must be past seven in the morning.
Why is he still sleeping?
There were still some dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating that he had stayed up late and hadn't slept well. This was hardly like the self-disciplined and upright Qin Yunzhou.
This person clearly went to bed earlier than her last night.
Xu Sui was busy eating breakfast before going to work. She didn't think much of it and quickly got ready before leaving.
In front of the stove.
Seeing that she had gotten up, Tianhua quickly brought over the warm rice porridge that was on the stove. "Suisui, time to eat."
"By the way, why didn't I see Yunzhou this morning? Did he go out?"
She found it strange when she talked about it.
In this family, Yunzhou is usually the first to get up. Every morning, he exercises in the yard for a while and goes out for a walk.
However, they should have been back by now.
Why can't I see the people I usually see today?
Tian Hua didn't even consider the possibility that Qin Yunzhou was still sleeping; mainly because her son was so self-disciplined, she was used to it.
Xu Sui sat down and took a sip of the porridge. The porridge was just the right temperature, and it had been cooked until it had layers of rice oil on top. It tasted pretty good, much better than the corn porridge she had eaten before, as long as it didn't get stuck in her throat.
"Mom, Yunzhou is still sleeping inside."
"Still asleep?" Tian Hua was stunned, and instinctively asked hurriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Sui thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be, Mom. Don't worry, I'll go in and take a look after I finish my porridge."
She noticed that Qin Yunzhou looked like he hadn't slept well all night.
If he were really sick, given Qin Yunzhou's personality, he would probably get up and take his medicine himself.
Tian Hua breathed a sigh of relief for the moment, but her eyes couldn't help but dart towards Xu Sui and the others' room, and she began to have some doubts.
Has something happened?
The atmosphere was off when the young couple came back from outside yesterday.
Back then, I was busy arranging blind dates for Xiaomei and didn't have time to ask. Now that I want to ask, it's a private matter between the young couple, and it's not appropriate to interfere too much.
I thought about it and hesitated for a long time.
Tianhua took off her apron and sat down, asking softly, "Suisui, did anything happen between you and Yunzhou last night?"
"No, Mom, why would you think that?" Xu Sui took a sip of porridge, took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then answered before continuing to drink her porridge.
This porridge is cooked until soft, tender, and sweet; it tastes pretty good even without any other ingredients.
As for last night.
She and Qin Yunzhou got along well; they simply settled their accounts, and nothing else happened.
