"I am your husband, call me hubby." The words startled him as soon as they left his mouth, not knowing why such a phrase had suddenly popped out.
Shi Youxuan crisply said, "Hubby."
She switched terms swiftly, her smile even more radiant.
Sheng Hanyu felt inexplicably cheerful, but that cheerfulness didn't last long.
The cold air in the bathroom and the sickly sweet scent emanating from the bathtub made Sheng Hanyu vigilant and he promptly stopped Shi Youxuan's hands that were helping him undo his buttons, "Are you running cold water?"
"Right."
The woman's tone was cheerful and innocent, "That's how I bathe our cute son, to get clean and smell nice."
"Who is the cute son?" The man's frown deepened.
Shi Youxuan laughed heartily, "Hahahaha..."
"Others say I'm the fool, but I think you're the foolish one, not even knowing who our cute son is. Our cute son is the teddy bear I brought."
Sheng Hanyu: "...".
Finally, Shi Youxuan got what she wanted and was chased out of the bathroom by Sheng Hanyu.
After he had bathed and came out of the bathroom, Shi Youxuan was already fast asleep on the bed, hugging the teddy bear.
He lay down in his pajamas, the distinctive sweet fragrance of a young girl wafting into his nose in waves. The man's physiological indicators were all very normal, and it was another wedding night.
Sheng Hanyu reached out to pull the fragrant body into his arms... and it was fuzzy!
The teddy bear?
The teddy bear was thrown out of the bed and lay forlornly on the floor.
In no time, the little woman clung to him like an octopus, draping her arm across his chest, her leg over his, her head resting in the crook of his arm, and even nuzzling into his chest.
The woman's pretty eyebrows knitted slightly, her plump lips puckered in a display of grievance.
Murmuring as if in a nightmare, "Don't run away, cute son, where are you going? Don't leave me behind, you're my only friend..."
...
All night long.
Sheng Hanyu maintained the same position, awake until daybreak.
In the morning, Shi Youxuan opened her eyes, not to the familiar large face of her teddy bear, but instead to the handsome face of a man.
"Ah—"
She screamed and sat up, "Why are you in my bed? Where's my teddy bear?"
Shi Youxuan had a serious case of morning grumpiness, being startled awake like this made her mood quite unpleasant!
Sheng Hanyu was expressionless, "Help me get dressed."
"Why should I?" she blurted out impulsively.
After speaking, she realized she had acted too "abnormally".
She was supposed to be "simple-minded," acting abnormal was her normal; acting too normal wouldn't last two days without giving her away, but Shi Youxuan didn't want others to know she was feigning innocence just yet.
So...
She started wailing, "Where's my teddy bear? I want my teddy bear, not you. You're a bad man..."
She had used this tactic yesterday, but it seemed ineffective today.
Sheng Hanyu didn't leave the room as he had yesterday, instead, he quietly waited for her to stop crying!
Shi Youxuan "cried" for quite a while, and seeing he had no reaction, she gradually quieted down and hopped off the bed to hug the teddy bear to her chest.
"Teddy bear, behave. Xuanxuan is good too. We are good people; we don't care about the bad man."
"Bad man" sat on the edge of the bed, his voice calm and steady, "If you don't take good care of me, you won't have anything to eat today."
...
Was this exploiting the situation?
However, beggars can't be choosers, and Shi Youxuan had no choice but to put down her teddy bear and help him dress.
First the shirt, then the pants. Thankfully, Sheng Hanyu was somewhat cooperative, and the process wasn't too complicated.
It was just that being so close to a man for the first time made Shi Youxuan's cheeks blush deeply.
