Jiang Yanxin was in a good mood and told Yang Yang another story before coaxing her to sleep.
Yang Yang listened to many stories that night, with both Mom and Mommy accompanying her to sleep. She was in high spirits, her little legs happily swinging back and forth, waiting for Mom to gently pat her to sleep.
Yang Yang always slept well, and it didn’t take long for Jiang Yanxin to lull her to sleep.
Once Yang Yang was asleep, Jiang Yanxin turned her gaze to Chen Wan, who was sleeping on the inside. The lower bunk was quite large, leaving plenty of space on Chen Wan’s side.
Jiang Yanxin looked at Yang Yang, who was sleeping in the middle, and decided it would be safer for Yang Yang to sleep against the wall. This way, neither she nor Chen Wan would accidentally roll over onto Yang Yang.
With that in mind, Jiang Yanxin quietly moved Yang Yang’s small pillow to the inside and gently carried her over, tucking her in with a small blanket.
Now, Chen Wan was in the middle. Jiang Yanxin happily found a comfortable position in Chen Wan’s arms, thinking she should gradually get Chen Wan used to holding her while sleeping.
However, if she and Chen Wan really ended up together, wouldn’t the RV be a bit cramped? Wouldn’t it be inconvenient for them to have some private moments? Jiang Yanxin pondered these thoughts while nestled in Chen Wan’s arms, eventually drifting off to sleep.
Chen Wan had developed a habit of being alert while sleeping, given her previous life’s special occupation, where she could be called for a mission at any time. She was used to being ready for action.
But in the RV, she was surrounded by people she trusted, so her inherent wariness was lessened. She slept soundly in the RV, just like now, not waking even when someone slipped into her arms.
Chen Wan woke up early the next morning, as usual, and was surprised to find someone in her arms.
Jiang Yanxin was sleeping soundly against her shoulder, one hand resting on Chen Wan’s chest.
Jiang Yanxin’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly with her breathing, making Chen Wan’s heart itch, wanting to touch them.
In fact, she couldn’t resist, and her hand moved faster than her mind, gently brushing Jiang Yanxin’s eyelashes with her fingertip.
Jiang Yanxin’s eyelashes brushed against her fingertip like a small brush, making Chen Wan’s heart itch even more, unsure of how to relieve it.
Moreover, Jiang Yanxin looked so peaceful while sleeping, her usually cool face completely relaxed. Her fair skin made her pink lips stand out, and Chen Wan found herself staring at them for quite a while.
Realizing what she was doing, Chen Wan quickly averted her gaze, pulling back the hand that had touched Jiang Yanxin’s eyelashes, and took small breaths to steady her breathing.
Her heart was racing uncontrollably, faster than during any emergency mission in her previous life. Just a few glances at Jiang Yanxin had her heart in turmoil. Chen Wan tried to think of other things to calm down.
But her mind wouldn’t cooperate, even recalling the dream she had the other day, where Jiang Yanxin’s lips were vividly pink and soft, just like she had just seen…
Chen Wan felt like she was burning up. How could she think of that dream! Jiang Yanxin was sleeping trustingly in her arms, and she was thinking such inappropriate thoughts!
Chen Wan berated herself internally for a long time, but with Jiang Yanxin warm and close, she couldn’t ignore it. Her face and ears only grew redder, yet she didn’t dare move Jiang Yanxin away, fearing she’d wake her, so she lay there, enduring the torment.
In truth, Jiang Yanxin had woken up when Chen Wan did. She just pretended to be asleep to see Chen Wan’s reaction, which turned out to be quite unexpected.
Jiang Yanxin hadn’t expected Chen Wan to touch her eyelashes, nor for her heart to race so much afterward.
Yes, Jiang Yanxin was aware of Chen Wan’s heartbeat changes, as her right arm was resting on Chen Wan’s chest, right over her heart. From then until now, Chen Wan’s heartbeat hadn’t calmed down.
Jiang Yanxin thought, Chen Wan’s ears must be red by now, right? She quite liked seeing Chen Wan flustered and red-eared, so she decided to tease her a bit.
However, Jiang Yanxin didn’t open her eyes immediately. She shifted slightly in Chen Wan’s arms before slowly opening her eyes, looking at Chen Wan, who was even more flustered than she had imagined, her whole face flushed.
Feigning sleepiness, Jiang Yanxin turned over, pressing herself against Chen Wan, who was already thinking strange thoughts. With Jiang Yanxin’s weight on her, she froze.
Jiang Yanxin noticed Chen Wan’s reaction and, suppressing a laugh, lay in her arms, looking at her and deliberately asking, “Why are your ears so red? Your face too. Is it too hot in here?”
Saying this, Jiang Yanxin, still lying on Chen Wan, reached out to touch her forehead, then her cheek, and as she withdrew her hand, her fingers brushed against Chen Wan’s burning ear, confirming its heat.
Chen Wan’s ear twitched involuntarily at the touch, feeling like she was on fire, yet Jiang Yanxin showed no intention of moving off her, just smiling at her.
Chen Wan glanced at Jiang Yanxin’s eyes and quickly looked away, not daring to meet her gaze. She forced herself to respond, “Maybe, I’ll open the vent. It is a bit warm.”
Jiang Yanxin chuckled softly and nodded, seemingly not pressing further.
Chen Wan finally breathed a little easier, hoping Jiang Yanxin would get off her soon. She didn’t need to look to know she was completely flushed.
But just as Chen Wan was starting to relax, Jiang Yanxin’s hand moved again. She casually placed her hand on Chen Wan’s left chest, causing Chen Wan’s heart to race once more. She was worried that Jiang Yanxin would notice her fast heartbeat. Blushing and red ears could be blamed on the heat in the car, but how could she explain a rapid heartbeat?
It seemed Jiang Yanxin had already noticed, as she placed her hand there to feel it, looking up innocently at Chen Wan. “Your heart is beating so fast. Let me listen more closely.”
With that, Jiang Yanxin removed her hand and instead pressed her ear against Chen Wan’s chest, listening to the increasingly rapid heartbeat.
Chen Wan lay sprawled on the bed, feeling utterly defeated by Jiang Yanxin’s teasing. Yet, Jiang Yanxin continued to listen to her heartbeat and asked, “It’s really fast. What’s going on?”
Chen Wan gritted her teeth, staying silent, but her mind was racing: “Don’t you know why it’s fast? Please, let me go. Get off me, I really can’t take it anymore.”
At this point, Chen Wan didn’t have time to consider whether she was straight or not. Regardless, she was reaching her limit.
But then, she quickly shook her head. Jiang Yanxin was just being kind and concerned. How could she have inappropriate thoughts about her? That was wrong! Chen Wan reflected on herself and stammered a response to Jiang Yanxin’s question, “Maybe I woke up too early and I’m feeling a bit hungry and anxious.”
Jiang Yanxin nodded thoughtfully and moved closer, leaving only a two-fist distance between their faces. She looked intently at Chen Wan, “Hungry? What should we have for breakfast later?”
Chen Wan instinctively swallowed. She was almost begging Jiang Yanxin to discuss breakfast after getting off her. She really couldn’t handle it anymore.
Chen Wan never expected that in this life, where she wasn’t afraid of challenges and was willing to fight hard battles, she would feel so helpless with Jiang Yanxin. This was much harder than fighting or killing zombies. She really couldn’t do it.
Her mind was in turmoil, but she obediently answered Jiang Yanxin’s question, “I’ll make eight-treasure porridge later. Or should I do it now? I’m really a bit hungry.”
Chen Wan wanted to praise herself for her cleverness. She hadn’t thought much before speaking, but she managed to come up with a reason to get up and make breakfast. She was truly smart!
However, Jiang Yanxin’s next words shattered Chen Wan’s fantasy: “The baby isn’t awake yet. Stay with me a little longer. I’ve gotten used to sleeping in your arms these past few days.”
Jiang Yanxin’s tone was soft, and Chen Wan even detected a hint of coquettishness. This was a stark contrast to when she first met Jiang Yanxin, who had been very hostile and spoke coldly. Now, she was snuggling in Chen Wan’s arms, asking her to stay a little longer.
Just thinking about it made Chen Wan’s heart melt. Jiang Yanxin only wanted her to stay a little longer, and all those strange thoughts in her head were just her own imagination. It wasn’t Jiang Yanxin’s fault; it was her own issue. With that thought, Chen Wan couldn’t refuse any longer and agreed, “Alright, let’s sleep a bit more. We’ll make breakfast when the baby wakes up.”
Jiang Yanxin’s lips curled into a slight smile. It seemed that even now, she hadn’t found Chen Wan’s limits. This realization put her in an even better mood.
She thought to herself, the slow and steady approach was definitely effective. Now, she was sleeping in Chen Wan’s arms, and she had just touched Chen Wan’s face, forehead, and brushed against her ear. In a few days, she could make further advances. Step by step, Chen Wan would be hers in no time.
By then, she wouldn’t have to pretend to accidentally touch Chen Wan’s ear. Once she had her completely, she could do whatever she wanted!
