"You mean you don't remember what happened last night?"
Zhou Yuexi's thought processing crashed with those words. She didn't want to be believe that she had really done 'that' with Zhang Yixing, it just didn't made sense. If they really did 'that', how could she not have even a second of recollection?
Zhang Yixing painted a look of disbelief in his face. "Ha! You really don't remember anything? I can't believe you!"
"Hey! What am I supposed to do? I really can't remember anything!", Zhou Yuexi complained. She was already having a hard time trying to remember anything that transpired the night before and Zhang Yixing's words just added to the pressure.
"Okay, I'm really hurt by this. I did such great service last night and not only is my hard work unappreciated you also can't recall it!", Zhang Yixing exasperatedly said.
When Zhou Yuexi heard this, a pinkish color crept from her neck all the way to her ears. Everything that Zhang Yixing said seemed rather suggestive for her.
Zhang Yixing was not lying though, he was just being vague with his words, making it easy for Zhou Yuexi to misunderstand. He was just speaking that way on purpose so he can make fun of his adorable little wife but of course, Zhou Yuexi doesn't need to know that.
"I can help you to recall last night's events."
"Really? How?", Zhou Yuexi interestedly answered.
Zhang Yixing grinned at Zhou Yuexi as he said, "We can always do a reenactment."
Zhou Yuexi couldn't help but imagine inappropriate things. Her face turned from it's former pinkish blush into a bright red color.
"What reenactment?! You reenact by yourself!", Zhou Yuexi defensively said.
"I did it to you last night. How am I supposed to do it again by myself?", Zhang Yixing innocently replied.
Zhou Yuexi who can no longer stand the thoughts in her mind, looked away from Zhang Yixing. Seeing him makes her imagine crazy things and she didn't like it.
"I don't know. You're the one who did it and I don't remember anything, so you think of a way yourself."
Seeing that his wife's reactions, Zhang Yixing felt satisfied with his prank and decided to finally enlighten Zhou Yuexi of what really happened.
"It's not really hard to do actually. It's just a little awkward. Imagine, I would carry nothing from the car till here and then ask a maid to change the clothes of nothing. So you see, I need your participation. After all, the only thing you need to do is pretend you're asleep.", Zhang Yixing explained.
Zhou Yuexi's mind which is in a state of disaster instantaneously calmed down when she heard Zhang Yixing's explanation of what really happened. She breathed out a sigh of relief after knowing that she was just overly anxious and imaginative. Still, she wanted to confirm if that was really all that transpired the night before.
"That's all that happened? We didn't do anything else?", she asked as confirmation.
"Yeah, that's pretty much everything. Why? What do you think we did last night aside from that?"
After verifying that what Zhang Yixing stated was true Zhou Yuexi finally had her peace of mind. "Nothing. Nothing."
"Good. For a second there I thought you were thinking of strange and inappropriate things."
Upon being reminded of her dirty thoughts, Zhou Yuexi lost her peace of mind once again. She was mortified of thinking how Zhang Yixing might have guessed what was going through her mind. She was so embarrassed of her self that she doesn't have the courage to even face Zhang Yixing.
"Well even if you did, it's not like it's wrong to imagine doing 'that' with me. We're married anyways.", Zhang Yixing grinned.
The way Zhang Yixing justified it seemed sensible. When Zhou Yuexi thought of it carefully, it deemed that it was fine if she did think of doing 'that' with him since it's a normal thing to do between married couples. But does that also mean that he thinks of doing 'that' with her?
Noticing that her thoughts were wandering to the wrong direction once again, Zhou Yuexi immediately stopped contemplating on what her husband has said.
Zhang Yixing who enjoyed playing with his adorably cute wife wanted to pay her back. "What do you want for breakfast? I'll cook while you freshen up.", he extended.
Zhou Yuexi denied his offer. "No, I should be the one cooking for you. I haven't thanked you for taking care of me last night so consider this as my compensation."
"It's fine, really. You were as light as a feather, I didn't have a hard time carrying you so there's no need to thank me for."
"There's no convincing me out of this. I'll feel bad if you don't let me treat you this meal." Zhou Yuexi insisted.
Zhang Yixing just scratched his head in defeat.
Zhou Yuexi smiled sweetly at her victory. "So now, tell me what you want for breakfast."
"Anything's fine."
"Hmm... I'll make American breakfast then.", Zhou Yuexi said then she strolled out the door while humming a song.
Zhang Yixing who was left in the room found himself staring at the door where his wife went out. Her sweet smile accompanied by her cheery attitude was imprinted in Zhang Yixing's mind and it made him brighten up as well.
In the kitchen, Zhou Yuexi was busy preparing the ingredients to her breakfast menu. She decided to cook poached eggs, bacons and toasts together with brewed coffee.
By the time she was finished cooking, Zhang Yixing descended from the stairs and smelt the aroma of coffee. When he entered the dining room, Zhou Yuexi was done plating the food she prepared.
"Oh, you're just in time. Sit and let's eat.", Zhou Yuexi invited.
What Zhou Yuexi prepared was just a simple breakfast but it all looked appetizing to Zhang Yixing who can't wait to have a taste of his wife's cooking.
"Seems like I hit the jackpot! Not only is my wife stunningly beautiful, she also has outstanding culinary skills.", Zhang Yixing praised.
Zhou Yuexi was flattered with his commendation. "Have a taste of it first before you rain your praises. It might not taste as good as you imagine it to be.", she humbled herself.
Zhang Yixing just smiled and started eating. To him, it was the most delicious american breakfast he ever had his whole life. All five star restaurants can't amount to the taste of what Zhou Yuexi cooked, not even the chefs in Azure Hotel can compete with it. There was nothing special with the food itself but what Zhang Yixing liked about it is the fact that it was his wife who made it for him, especially just for him. It was a different kind of satisfaction.
Zhang Yixing enjoyed his breakfast very much. There was not even a crumb of the toast left in his plate, it was literally wiped clean and even the coffee was finished until the very last drop.
Zhou Yuexi on the other hand barely even touched her food. She just had a few bites of the toast, a strip of bacon and drank her coffee halfway. Zhang Yixing noticed it and he was not happy about it.
"Hey! I finished my part, so you should also finish yours. I told you, last night when I carried you, you were as light as a feather that I didn't even sweat even if I climbed the stairs with you on my arms. You should eat a lot so you can gain some weight.", Zhang Yixing scolded.
Zhou Yuexi pouted in response. "But I'm already full.", she said complainingly.
"No buts darling. This is for your own good. What you ate is just as bad as not eating anything at all. If this is how you usually eat, I no longer wonder you look so exhausted yesterday. Your body doesn't have enough fuel to burn for all the work load you have.", Zhang Yixing said as he shook his head in disapproval.
"What am I supposed to do? I really don't have the appetite to eat more."
"If you don't finish your food, I will personally feed you.", Zhang Yixing threatened.
Zhou Yuexi smiled at him weakly, "You feeding me doesn't give off the effect of helping me gain appetite. Even if you do, It's not like I can force my self to eat more than what I can stomach."
Zhang Yixing smirked, "Darling, I wasn't done speaking. If you don't finish your food, I will personally feed you... from my mouth."
"How are you going to..." Zhou Yuexi's words got stuck on her throat and her cheeks uncontrollably blushed a light shade of red when she understood what Zhang Yixing meant with his words.
"He wouldn't really do that, would he?", she thought.
As if able to read Zhou Yuexi's mind, Zhang Yixing said, "I'm not kidding here, darling. If that's the way I can make sure you always finish your food I won't think twice to do it."
Zhou Yuexi was dumbfounded with Zhang Yixing's resolve. She never had an issue with her eating habits. With all the stuff that she needs to do, she never prioritized meals and would happily skip them if it meant more time to focus on her work. And as time passed, she got used to eating little.
Now, faced with Zhang Yixing's threats of shoving food into her mouth by kissing her, she was debating whether to push her self to eat her remaining food or not. She doesn't want to be forcefully kiss fed by Zhang Yixing but she really felt full with what she ate already.
After some consideration, she decided to eat her leftovers and shot an accusing glare to her husband who was grinning in his victory.
"So that's what will get you to eat more...", Zhang Yixing laughed to his self.
Zhang Yixing felt half happy, half disappointed. He was glad that Zhou Yuexi finally ate the right amount of food but also disappointed as he was tempted to really kiss Zhou Yuexi when she pouted to him in complaint.
He watched Zhou Yuexi half-heartedly eat but his eyes can't keep but stare at her lips. Her lips were plump and slightly pale but a little shiny from the bacon's grease which made it enticing in his eyes. He once again felt the urge to sneak a kiss into those luscious lips.
"What on earth am I thinking about?! I must be out of my mind!", he thought as he tried to focus somewhere else.
