After everything was over, Shang Shiyu sat in the bathtub, leaned on his shoulder, and asked him with disordered breathing, "When do you plan to return to Judea City?"
Tang Wei hugged her from behind, "I just got here, and you want to chase me away?"
Shang Shiyu spoke to him with her face turned sideways, her wet lips brushing his neck faintly, "But you have to go back to work. You were answering the phone the whole way, I can see you are very busy."
"Yeah. I've been gone for so long, and I'm having a headache with so much work." Tang Wei kissed her lips as tender as petals. "Before I left, I wanted to give all these things to you, hoping that you could help me. But in the end, you refused to help me at all. Yu Sheng said that many documents would only be valid if you signed them, but you refused to even answer his calls. As a result, he failed many projects in the past two years. He complained to me that you were too ruthless."
Shang Shiyu stuck out his tongue, "How could I know so much? I was too sad at that time to care about these things. Besides, I don't want to touch anyone or anything related to you."
As she spoke, she turned around and hugged him coquettishly, "Tang Wei, you haven't had a good time in the past two years. In fact... I haven't had a good time at all either."
Tang Wei said sullenly, "So, I'm back."
He knows it all!
She felt relieved. After a while, she thought of the question she had asked before, "You haven't told me when you plan to return to Judea."
"Let's talk about it later. I haven't been here for a long time, and I want to spend time with Uncle Shang and Aunt Liu."
"What about me?" Shang Shiyu pouted, "Shouldn't you accompany me?"
Tang Wei smiled indulgently, "Okay, I'll keep you company by the way."
"I'm just a by-product!" She was dissatisfied and maliciously splashed water on him. As a result, the two adults were having a lot of fun in the bathtub like children.
Until Tang Wei made a 'hush' gesture and said in a restrained manner: "Shang Shang, if we continue to make a scene, I'm afraid we will really wake up Uncle Shang and Aunt Liu. If we are caught on the spot like this, even if I want to stay here, they will immediately drive me back to Youcheng."
Shang Shiyu immediately fell silent, stretched out his hands and begged him, "I'm so tired, you've tormented me so much that I don't have any strength left, carry me out."
Tang Wei picked her up from the bathtub, used a towel to wipe the water off her body, and then carried her to the bed.
"Go to bed, it's already past 4 o'clock." Tang Wei took a look at his watch beside him, "You have to go to work tomorrow."
"If we sleep like this today, won't our parents know about it tomorrow morning?"
"Is it better to let them know, or pretend nothing happened?"
"It's better to pretend nothing happened." Shang Shiyu took the alarm clock from the bedside and set the time to six o'clock. "I'll wake up at six and sneak out. My mother will definitely not find out."
Tang Wei just indulged her wishful self-confidence, set the alarm clock for her, and hugged her to sleep.
She smells so good.
He rested his hand against the top of her head and murmured, "It's been a long time since I could have a good sleep like this."
Shang Shiyu hugged him tighter, "Me too..."
In the past two years, he was almost always in a coma and rarely woke up. But in the past two years, she was almost always awake, and the continuous insomnia was also a torment for her.
———
Six o'clock.
As soon as the alarm rang, Tang Wei reached out to turn it off.
There was no movement outside. It was obvious that the two elders had not yet gotten up. He lowered his head to glance at the little woman who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, feeling very satisfied.
He kissed her on the cheek, somewhat reluctantly.
Just as he was lifting the quilt and preparing to get up, she suddenly reached out and grabbed him.
"Tang Wei?" She called his name in a soft, sleepy voice. The two words sounded particularly alluring when she called them.
"Yes, I'm here." Tang Wei answered immediately, and instinctively held her in his arms. "Did I wake you up?"
She rubbed her eyes and lay on his chest looking at him. Her eyes were straight, staring at him intently. He was a little confused by this look, and waved his big hand in front of her eyes, "Why are you in a daze as soon as you wake up?"
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Shang Shiyu asked cautiously.
"What dream?"
"Dream that you're back."
Tang Wei was moved, "Do you often have dreams like this?"
"Often." She nodded, still leaning sleepily in his arms, "I always dream that you're back, and then I'm so happy that I feel like I'm in heaven. But when I wake up, reality hits me hard. After a few such experiences, I'm numb. When I see you, my instinctive reaction is that I'm dreaming. I can't be too happy, otherwise, it will only be a false happiness."
"Then you can be happy now." Tang Wei pinched her cheek lovingly, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt at all." Shang Shiyu looked like he was about to cry, touching his cheek, "Tang Wei, am I really still dreaming?"
He laughed, leaned closer to her, and looked at her ambiguously, "Will I do those things with you in my dream?"
Shang Shiyu blushed, "That also happens in my dreams."
"So, you've had wet dreams?"
"… Occasionally."
He smiled even more deeply, "Tell me later how far we have come in the dream."
She was mesmerized by his smile and blinked, "What now?"
"I should get up now." Tang Wei pointed at the alarm clock, "If I delay any longer, Aunt Liu will get up to make breakfast. You continue to sleep here, I'll go outside."
He said as he was about to stand up.
Shang Shiyu pulled him back again, "I'm going to sleep outside."
"You have to go to work tomorrow, stop moving around."
"No, if I move, doesn't that mean I'll tell my mom everything?" Shang Shiyu said, getting out of bed and tucking him in, "You'd better get some sleep."
After saying that, she put on her slippers and turned to leave. Tang Wei held her back, Shang Shiyu looked back at him suspiciously, only to hear him say, "Goodbye kiss."
Shang Shiyu is funny.
"Mr. Tang, this isn't a goodbye. I'm just going out to sleep for an hour or two."
Tang Wei stood up and sealed her lips. After kissing for a while, he reluctantly let her go and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go back to Jude City."
"Why?"
"At least I don't have to be so sneaky. I can hold you in my arms and sleep openly - all night long."
Shang Shiyu just smiled and said nothing. She broke free from his hand, closed the door and went out.
The two people were both shaken and shocked to varying degrees. This feeling of regaining what they had lost was more wonderful than they could have imagined.
Tang Wei lay on the bed with her scent still on his body, finding it difficult to fall asleep again. He had only slept for two hours and felt tired and sleepy.
Outside, Shang Shiyu was also tossing and turning in bed, with a sweet smile on his face.
Oh God, if this is a dream, then let her stay in this real dream and never wake up again!
