“Don’t argue, you two are the best to each other.” Guo Bao Rou patted her little belly. “Your most adorable daughter Guo Bao Rou has reached her bedtime. Aren’t you going to coax your little darling to sleep?”

Yan Jin looked at the sky. Converting to modern time, it was probably around 9pm. It was indeed time for children to sleep, so she said, “Go brush your teeth first. I’ll clear out a room for you.”

“You’re going to let her sleep alone?” Yu Shu widened his eyes. “She’s only four years old. She needs an adult to sleep with her. Otherwise, she might kick off the covers and catch a cold at night, or accidentally roll over and fall off the bed, hitting or bumping into something.”

Yan Jin nodded and asked Guo Bao Rou, “Do you kick off the covers at night?”

Guo Bao Rou shook her head. “No.”

Yan Jin continued asking, “Do you toss and turn at night and fall out of bed?”

Guo Bao Rou shook her head again. “No, I have a great sleeping posture!”

“She says she won’t kick the covers or fall out of bed.” Yan Jin turned to look at Yu Shu. “She can sleep alone.”

Yu Shu took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm. “Xiao Xiao, Guo Bao Rou is only four years old this year. Just because she says she won’t do something doesn’t mean we can really believe her.”

“But she’s already four years old. She should be the one who knows best what she will or won’t do.” Yan Jin felt that her words made sense. “She’s the one who understands her own situation the clearest.”

Yu Shu took another breath. “When you were four years old, did you know what you did in your sleep?”

“Yes, I did.” Speaking of this, Yan Jin couldn’t help but complain. “Back then, my parents pinched my hands and feet while playing with me. They almost woke me up.”

Yu Shu held back again and again, but finally couldn’t help it. “Listen to me on this!”

“Guo Bao Rou has to sleep with you. She’s so young, we can’t let her sleep alone.”

Yan Jin’s voice suddenly rose. “I’ve never had a girl sleep in my bed.”

[I really believe Yan Jin is as formidable as her classmates said, to an unspeakable degree. After all, she can be really lacking in emotional intelligence sometimes, like right now.] [Oh wow, Yu Shu’s face has turned green.] [Vinegar you have no right to drink tastes the most sour.]

Yu Shu, who was secretly unhappy, “hmph”ed. “Who cares who you’ve had in your bed.”

Yan Jin suggested, “You’re more attentive, so maybe it’s more suitable for her to sleep with you.”

“No.” Yu Shu turned his head and dropped a sentence in a hard tone. “I don’t lie in the same bed with anyone of the opposite sex except my future wife-master.”

Yan Jin was helpless. “Guo Bao Rou is only four years old. In modern times, she wouldn’t even be in kindergarten yet.”

Yu Shu: “I don’t care.”

When the two were at an impasse, Guo Bao Rou interjected, “Mom, Dad, what are you talking about? Didn’t I always sleep with you before?”

Yan Jin and Yu Shu immediately widened their eyes. “You want to sleep with us?”

“Mom and dad haven’t divorced yet, of course I should sleep with you.” Guo Bao Rou scratched her head. “Isn’t that how it’s always been before?”

Yan Jin turned to ask Yu Shu, “So I have to sleep with you?”

Hearing the surprise in Yan Jin’s voice, Yu Shu complained unhappily, “Why are you so shocked? Is it such a big deal to sleep with me?”

[Sharing a bed so quickly? Color me shocked. I originally thought Guo Bao Rou would be a stumbling block to their relationship development, but unexpectedly she’s a great wingman.] [Yu Shu’s words are really slapping his own face. He just said he’d only sleep with his future wife-master, now he’s dissatisfied that Yan Jin is reluctant to sleep with him. Men, tsk tsk tsk.]

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t share a bed with anyone of the opposite sex except your wife-master?” Yan Jin thought Yu Shu was being weird. “Isn’t this exactly what you want?”

Yu Shu opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but he had made that statement earlier and couldn’t justify it at the moment.

Fortunately, Yu Shu noticed Guo Bao Rou nodding off out of the corner of his eye. As if he had found a savior, he raised his chin with righteous indignation. “For the child’s sake, I can reluctantly make do for this one night.”

“Don’t worry,” Yan Jin said “earnestly”. “I definitely won’t let your future wife-master know about this.”

“Yan Jin!” Yu Shu was embarrassed and annoyed. “You’re so annoying!”

Although Yan Jin had just said she would clear out a room for Guo Bao Rou, she had only tidied up for a little while when Yu Shu, who was good at organizing, couldn’t stand watching and pushed her out. “You go next door and help Guo Bao Rou change clothes. I’ll clean up here.”

By the time Yu Shu had made the bed, Yan Jin, dressed in long sleeves and pants, was already leading Guo Bao Rou in.

Yu Shu looked down at his own t-shirt and shorts, then looked up at Yan Jin in long sleeves and pants, and asked from the bottom of his heart, “…Aren’t you hot?”

It was August, the kind of August where in modern times you can’t make it through the night without air conditioning!

Yu Shu thought Yan Jin in long sleeves and pants was strange, while Yan Jin thought Yu Shu in short sleeves and shorts was strange.

“It’s cold at night, I’m afraid of the cold. And…” Yan Jin pondered, “A man and a woman, alone in a room, if I wear short sleeves and shorts, what if you have improper intentions?”

“Who has improper intentions?!” A layer of blush floated in Yu Shu’s eyes. “I’m not that kind of person!”

[This is the first time seeing them in pajamas. Before the novelty wears off, they’re arguing again.] [These two never have a day without arguing. It’s giving me a headache.] [Although I’m really looking forward to their first live stream of sleeping together, their constant bickering is a bit much for my ears.]

Because Yan Jin still had to comb her hair, Yu Shu went to bed first to coax Guo Bao Rou to sleep.

While Yu Shu was telling Guo Bao Rou a bedtime story, his gaze kept glancing at Yan Jin combing her hair.

Yan Jin’s hair was very long, reaching her waist when let down. Although Yan Jin washed her hair diligently, with such long and thick hair, it was inevitable to encounter tangles when combing.

Unfortunately, Yan Jin was impatient in this regard. After combing a few times and finding it didn’t untangle, she would press down on the comb and forcefully pull, trying to yank out the tangled hair.

Even with a lot of hair, it can’t withstand this kind of abuse!

Yu Shu really couldn’t stand watching anymore. He put down Guo Bao Rou and went to help Yan Jin comb her hair.

Compared to the impatient Yan Jin, Yu Shu was quite patient. When he encountered places in Yan Jin’s hair that couldn’t be combed through, Yu Shu would carefully use the comb teeth to tease apart the knots. Once the knots loosened, he would comb through bit by bit.

Throughout the whole process, Yu Shu never tugged on Yan Jin’s scalp, in sharp contrast to the rough way she had just combed her own hair.

While Yu Shu’s hands were earnestly combing Yan Jin’s hair, his mouth didn’t forget to tease her. “Clumsy Yan Xiao Xiao.”

Being serviced by Yu Shu, Yan Jin was at ease, but her mouth didn’t forget to retort, “Nagging Yu Yuan Yuan.”

Help, I forgot about the time. I thought I had set this chapter for 3 o’clock, but it turned out to be 6 o’clock. I’m posting it now.
