Xue Lin looked straight at him and said, "Don’t worry about it. I won’t fall. This bed is huge." She was almost touched that he was caring for her but she was still feeling uneasy. Though he was her husband, she felt strange to share the same bed with him.
Ge Chen politely said, "You can try coming a little closer." His grey eyes were flickering with amusement. She looked like a guarded bunny as she wrapped the comforter around her small body tightly and her eyes were sharply gazing at him. Unknown to her, he had a good night vision. In the faint light of the stars, he could see her facial expression as much as she could his.
"You are worrying too much. You must be tired. Please sleep," replied Xue Lin. She was dead tired. She didn’t want to argue with him anymore about it. She tried to be polite as much as she could but it’s getting on her nerve. She didn’t have the strength to control her emotion at that moment. She might beat him to death if he tried to take this conversation any further.
Ge Chen could sense that she was at the limit of her patience. He calmly said, "Okay, but... why aren’t you asleep?"
Xue Lin took a deep breath and said, "...I’ll sleep." Then, she closed her eyes.
Ge Chen smiled and said, "Good night, my wife." This is the first time he slept with a woman other than his mother. The last time he slept with someone was the night before his mother died. There was only one person he ever slept with and that’s his mother. And now, there’s another one beside him. That’s his wife.
’Finally, she is mine.’ Just thinking about that was making him delighted all over. When the first time he met her in the bar, he never thought that the four eyed girl would be sleeping beside him one day. For now, he would let her stubbornness slide. If it’s too hard to control himself, he can ask Mu Liang how he controlled himself.
[A/N: I’m afraid Mu Liang could never answer that question.]
Xue Lin replied, "Good night, my husband.... Try not to stare at me like that. You might drill a hole into my face." She bluntly said exactly the same thing she was feeling.
Ge Chen’s eyes widened. "How did you-" He could really see that her eyes were tightly closed. She didn’t even peek at him.
Xue Lin casually said, "For your information, I can sense it if anyone is looking at me no matter how far you are from me. I can even tell which part of my body you are looking at. My sixth sense can be scary sometimes."
Ge Chen had a hard time believing it. Only trained people had that type of power and she was just a Psychiatrist. He told her, "I think it’s amazing. Can you tell me where am I looking with your sixth sense?" He wanted to test how good she was at it.
Xue Lin’s eyes were still closed. She replied, "Easily, you are looking at my left cheek... and now my lips... hey!" Her eyes flew open and her grey eyes glared at him. She covered her virgin red lips with the comforter. Her eyes were burning in anger as she gazed at him in the dark.
"!!!" Ge Chen was startled. ’Did I just see her eyes glowing?’ He could swear that he saw grey lights glow in her eyes just for a moment. The sky was clear and there was no thunder, he couldn’t mistake it. He quickly regained his composure and said harmlessly, "I was just testing. Your whole body is covered and I couldn’t look at anywhere else."
Xue Lin couldn’t believe him at all. "You could look at my forehead, nose, head, left ear, left temple, and even the strands of my hair." Her eyes became even more suspicious.
"I cannot see well at night. Everything is so dark." Ge Chen sounded pitiful. He lied without hesitation.
Xue Lin’s heart softened a bit but she was still careful. "Alright, go to sleep." At that moment, she couldn’t see the flaw in his words. He said it was too dark to see her forehead and hair. If that’s so, how did he manage to see her lips? She was too tired to realize it.
"Alright, sweet dreams." Ge Chen coolly said. Xue Lin said nothing after that. She completely covered her head to toe with the comforter. It looked like a giant cocoon.
He was thinking while looking at the ceiling, ’It’s a good thing that she is cautious about her surroundings. She won’t face danger easily and can avoid dangers too. But it’s no good when she is around me.’ He realized that it could be a serious problem in their married life.
’We have time. Let’s take this thing slowly. However, I wonder if I can win her over if I’m too slow.’ He pondered deeply about it before closing his eyes. It had been a long day. He was tired.
The next day, Xue Lin opened her eyes with black eyebags. She successfully turned into a panda mama. She didn’t have a wink of sleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, she felt like she was sleeping beside a predator. No matter how tired she was, she couldn’t sleep nor she could move. She was facing him when he slept and she stayed like that whole night.
Her eyes landed on the other side of the bed and her heart dropped. ’Who is this guy?’ She quickly got up. Her heart was racing. It took her whole five seconds to understand that he was her husband. She relaxed her body and sighed deeply. She also started sweating in tension.
"What was his name again? Ah, it’s Chen. I have to get used to it.’ Xue Lin had a hard time memorizing people’s names and faces. Her memory’s so bad that she would forget her own face if she didn’t see her face in the mirror every day. She recited Ge Chen’s name fifty times like a ritual as usual before getting off the bed. Reciting his name became her habit.
