Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

The two were locked in a silent standoff.

Suddenly, Pei Wanyun seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked out the window.

Chen Lianshu looked over in that direction, puzzled as to what had happened.

Soon, very light footsteps could be heard outside the side hall.

The sound was soft, but it was extremely clear in the night.

The person who came in was Mu Qianxue.

For some reason, Pei Wanyun instinctively wanted to avoid it.

She knew she absolutely couldn't let her disciple see her in her husband's room.

Her expression immediately changed.

Immediately afterwards, he practically jumped up, frantically looking around, his eyes anxiously scanning every possible hiding place—

Where is it hidden?

Under the bed?

No, too short.

cabinet?

No, that won't work either, it's too small.

Jump out the window?

Even worse, if I go out now, that girl might catch me red-handed.

"Master?"

Chen Lianshu lowered his voice, looking at her flustered actions with puzzlement.

Pei Wanyun had no time to pay attention to that.

In a moment of desperation, she threw off the covers and crawled inside, pressing herself tightly against her husband and curling up into a ball.

"Don't make a sound."

"?"

Before Chen Lianshu could react, the door to the side hall was pushed open.

"Junior brother?"

As soon as Mu Qianxue entered, she saw that Chen Lianshu was not asleep, but was sitting quietly on the bed.

She couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"You're still awake?"

"..."

Chen Lianshu did not respond immediately.

He glanced subconsciously at his master hidden under the covers, not understanding why, but he didn't expose him.

"No, I just woke up too."

He tried his best to keep his voice steady, refusing to feel the soft, warm fragrance of the body pressed tightly against him under the covers, and said:

"Senior sister, what brings you here?"

"No...no, I...I just came to find you for morning practice."

"Morning study?"

Chen Lianshu repeated it afterward.

He glanced instinctively at the barely dawning sky outside the window, and couldn't help but wonder:

"Is it really necessary to do it this early?"

"Um."

Mu Qianxue responded very quickly, as if she had already prepared her answer.

"The early bird catches the worm," so the earlier you start your morning exercise, the better.

"Yesterday, I thought it was my junior brother's first night staying at Jade Spirit Peak, so I didn't call you earlier."

"But today is different, and it's about time."

In fact, Mu Qianxue did not think so.

Even if she cultivates diligently, it is still too early for Chen Xiu to start now.

The reason I came so early was simply so I could see my husband's sleeping face a little longer.

She woke up yesterday morning before she had seen enough of him.

So today I thought I'd come early and spend more time here.

But to my surprise, my husband had already woken up.

Perhaps it's because I'm not used to it, or I didn't sleep well?

"..."

However, Chen Lianshu had no time to savor these words at this moment.

Because inside the blanket—

Her soft, delicate body, pressed tightly against his, gradually tensed up as Mu Qianxue drew closer.

Pei Wanyun gently hugged his waist.

Even through the fabric, you could clearly feel the warm, rapid breathing.

The other person's hand gripped his clothes tightly, trembling slightly.

He was clearly extremely nervous.

"..."

But at this moment, Pei Wanyun's expression was not what he had imagined.

I am a little nervous.

But more than anything, it's the thrill of being so intimately close to my husband.

The stimulation made her heart tremble.

"...I see, then you're very kind, Senior Sister."

Chen Lianshu tried his best not to be disturbed by the soft, warm fragrance of the woman beneath him.

But I have to say, her figure is really amazing.

Even without thinking about it, the sensation alone is enough to evoke contemplation.

"Junior brother..."

Mu Qianxue seemed to have noticed something, and her usually cold voice carried a hint of worry.

"You don't look well. Is something wrong?"

She took a few more steps closer, as if trying to see her husband's expression clearly in the dim moonlight.

If the other person is truly unwell, it's best to prepare in advance...

"!"

But before Chen Lianshu could reply.

Pei Wanyun, still in bed, noticed that Mu Yatou was getting closer and closer, and her fingers tightened quietly, almost pinching his waist.

"hiss--"

Caught completely off guard, Chen Lianshu gasped.

"Junior brother?"

Mu Qianxue's worries deepened, and she quickened her pace.

"stop!"

It's unclear whether this rebuke was directed at Pei Wanyun, who was still in bed, or at Mu Qianxue, who was gradually approaching.

However, upon hearing this sound, the two of them stopped their actions almost simultaneously and with remarkable tacit understanding.

Pei Wanyun remained silent, but Mu Qianxue asked in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

"fine."

Chen Lianshu could only give an awkward smile and continue making up stories without changing his expression:

"Junior brother just woke up, his clothes are disheveled, and he is not presentable..."

"Senior sister, that's fine."

"oh…"

Mu Qianxue responded faintly, though somewhat disappointed, she obediently stopped in her tracks.

Upon hearing this conversation, Pei Wanyun, lying in bed, smiled silently.

She suddenly felt that this... seemed quite exciting.

They even felt it wasn't enough.

So she leaned closer and pretended to kiss her husband's waist "accidentally" or "by mistake".

The soft, warm touch made Chen Lianshu stiffen instantly, and she subconsciously swallowed.

"!"

"Is Junior Brother really alright?"

Mu Qianxue witnessed this scene and became even more suspicious.

"It's really nothing."

Chen Lianshu smiled faintly, feigning composure, and said:

"I'm just not fully awake yet, haven't had enough rest, and am feeling a little dizzy."

At the same time, under the covers, Pei Wanyun gently patted her husband's lower back, as if to comfort him.

But the reassurance only made the other person value the contact even more.

"Didn't you get enough rest?"

Mu Qianxue repeated it again, offering her advice earnestly:

"If you really can't get used to it, why don't you follow my suggestion from yesterday and move in with me for a few days?"

"After all, my place is more secluded, and it's not much different from your residence in the outer gate."

"Don't worry, as long as you agree, I'll let you handle things with Master..."

"...No need."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Lianshu interrupted him.

Because at this moment, Pei Wanyun's hand was gripping his body even tighter, her fingertips almost digging into his flesh.

Fortunately, I was prepared and managed to hold back this time, but I didn't dare to move an inch.

However, he roughly understood what his master meant.

"cough!"

Chen Lianshu cleared his throat:

"Don't worry about it."

"Senior sister, it's still early. Junior brother really didn't get enough rest last night."

"Why don't you come over, Senior Sister? I'll rest for a while and then come to your place for morning practice, how about that?"

"As for accommodation, we can discuss that later, shall we?"

Chen Lianshu did not refuse immediately.

After all, simply denying it would only embarrass her.

Now, he has no time to delve into the anomaly he detected yesterday.

At this moment, all he wanted was to end this farce as soon as possible.

"..."

Mu Qianxue remained silent for a moment in response.

That reason is quite reasonable.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally nodded.

If she insists on this, it will only cause her husband to feel disgusted.

It would be better to retreat in order to advance; that would be a better move.

"Alright."

Actually, she felt a little guilty and wasn't sure how much her husband had actually noticed yesterday.

Seeing his current appearance, it's truly impossible to guess what he's thinking.

And so, the two of them tacitly kept quiet about it.

One didn't think about it, and the other didn't dare.

"Then I will wait for you at my residence."

After saying that, Mu Qianxue turned and walked towards the door.

Just as Chen Lianshu breathed a sigh of relief—

"By the way, junior brother."

She suddenly turned around, her gaze falling on the quilt on the bed, as if she had something to doubt:

"Why is your bed so bulging?"
