Qi Taiguo was indeed dissatisfied, but compared to his dissatisfaction with Cheng Su’s refusal to visit the troop, he was even more discontent with his own attitude and emotions because hearing Cheng Su say no made him very unhappy.
Why, though? Didn’t this play right into his hands?
But why, when Cheng Su showed such an unwilling attitude, did he feel unhappy and even a bit disappointed and desolate?
Could it be that marriage changes a person’s moods?
Incredible.
Cheng Su, however, couldn’t care less about Qi Taiguo’s feelings. Seeing him lie down, her body stiffened, and without thinking, she asked, "You, you’re going to sleep here?"
What a ridiculous question!
Qi Taiguo turned around, wanting to ridicule her, but seeing her face tense and her temple throbbing, he sat up, stared at her, and asked, "If not here, then where should I sleep?"
You better not say anything unpleasant, Cheng Su, or you’ll regret it later!
"I, just now I meant to talk to you about this," Cheng Su chuckled awkwardly, saying, "That is, I’m not quite used to sharing a bed with someone..."
Her voice faded under Qi Taiguo’s piercing stare.
"So? Why aren’t you talking anymore?" Qi Taiguo sneered, "Aren’t you usually quite talkative?"
What an attitude!
Cheng Su’s temper flared up too, and she bluntly said, "Then, why don’t you go sleep in another room?"
Qi Taiguo’s face turned completely dark as he stared at her intensely.
Unwilling to show weakness, Cheng Su met his gaze.
"No need to explain! If you want to leave, feel free!" Qi Taiguo snorted and said, "Rest assured, I’m not interested in you either, and there’s no need for you to put on that violated look. I won’t touch you!"
"Whoever touches whom is a pig!" Cheng Su was infuriated and abruptly lay down, turning her back to him to sleep on the inside.
Qi Taiguo was furious to death, yanked the light cord, and moved to the other side of the bed, also turning his back to Cheng Su.
The two lay back to back, leaving a space wide enough for a third person in between.
Cheng Su grabbed the blanket and covered herself, thinking she’d endure one night since he was leaving for the troop the next day. If he dared to make a move in the middle of the night, she was ready to punch him.
Qi Taiguo was equally angry, thinking of Cheng Su’s affectations. It was fine by him; it spared him the need to feign fondness. As for the future, she better not come to regret or clingily say he didn’t lay a finger on her!
Just you wait and see!
Husband and wife, each with their own thoughts, took a long time to finally fall into a deep sleep.
