She put one hand around Jiang Chenyu's waist and led him to the bed.
"I'll go lie down on the sofa for a while," Gu Nuannuan said with difficulty. "The sofa is too small, it can't hold you. If you fall down in the middle of the night, I can't help you. You'd better lie on the bed... ah, turn over, you're crushing my hand."
She put her hand around Jiang Chenyu's waist to help steady him while he walked, but when she placed him on the bed, his weight pulled her down with him. His back ended up pressing on her hand.
Gu Nuannuan lay beside him, her left arm trapped under the man's body.
She let out a long breath, "Jiang Chenyu, turn over, you're crushing my arm, do you hear me!"
Although Jiang Chenyu was drunk, he still had some awareness.
He felt something under his back, so he turned to his right.
To his right was Gu Nuannuan.
Without warning, Jiang Chenyu's body pressed down on her, pinning her in place.
At the same time, her arm was freed.
But...
"Jiang Chenyu, are you taking advantage of me? You're crushing me! Get off now." Gu Nuannuan pushed against the man on top of her, but she couldn't budge him.
Jiang Chenyu found that lying on his stomach felt more comfortable than lying flat. However, there was a chattering little sparrow beneath him, continuously talking and annoying him.
"Shut up."
"I won't shut up! Jiang Chenyu, you're crushing me! If you crush me to death, you'll have to pay for it! Now hurry up and—"
Gu Nuannuan didn't finish her sentence. She was suddenly stunned, as if struck by lightning.
The warm sensation on her lips reminded her, in her dazed state, that she had just been kissed.
The strong aroma of wine filled her nose, and Gu Nuannuan's heart started racing uncontrollably, as if it was about to leap out of her chest.
She forgot to push him away, and the hands gripping her waist tightened, nearly breaking her in half.
"Let go, let go!"
Gu Nuannuan's first reaction after being kissed was to save her waist. She used both hands to pry Jiang Chenyu's hands off her.
The redness of her lips from his kiss felt like a bucket of cold water being poured over Jiang Chenyu's head, sobering him up a bit.
The girl underneath him was still squirming, and his grip loosened slightly.
Gu Nuannuan's waist was finally free, and she pushed against Jiang Chenyu's chest with both hands. "Hah, I must be the first woman to be crushed to death by her own husband."
Jiang Chenyu: "..."
He and Gu Nuannuan locked eyes.
His gaze, once clouded, was now clear and focused, as if he were no longer drunk.
Gu Nuannuan thought about the kiss that just happened and blushed immediately. "You... you did it on purpose!"
Jiang Chenyu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he gripped Gu Nuannuan's waist with both hands, rolling them over. Now, he was beneath her, and she was on top of him.
Finally free from being crushed, Gu Nuannuan quickly disentangled herself from Jiang Chenyu.
She pressed against his chest with her hands and stood up easily.
"Huh?"
Why did she feel so light all of a sudden?
She turned around and noticed that his hands, which had been around her waist, had let go at some point.
She glanced at her husband lying on the bed. He had his eyes closed and appeared to be sleeping.
Gu Nuannuan patted her chest in relief, thankful that he had been drinking.
She tossed him onto the bed and hurried out of the room.
As soon as the door clicked shut, the man on the bed opened his eyes.
This time, the clarity in his gaze was unmistakable.
He sat up in bed, stretching his neck and looking straight ahead with deep, thoughtful eyes.
He was momentarily stunned by his earlier impulse. At that moment, all he had felt was his body soften, and there was a soft, boneless pillow in his arms that made him feel incredibly comfortable. But why did he kiss her?
