Chapter 12: Carefree and with good sleep quality
Gu Peiyan's voice was still a little hoarse from just waking up.
Wei Dongning didn't seem to be fully awake yet.
I was startled when a second person appeared in the room.
A "Holy crap!" got stuck in her throat, causing her to cough incessantly.
Seeing this, Gu Peiyan quickly stepped forward and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath: "I'm sorry, did I scare you just now?"
"Cough cough cough." Wei Dongning waved her hands repeatedly.
Thankfully, she is still strong and healthy.
If she still had the same body as in her previous life, her life would probably have to start all over again.
I wonder if Xiao Wu's father will give her another chance when that time comes.
Wei Dongning patted her chest: "I'm thirsty, let's finish drinking quickly and go to sleep."
He then quickly poured the wine into two glasses, handed one to Gu Peiyan, and then clinked his own glass against hers.
His bold actions made Gu Peiyan wonder if he had married a sworn brother rather than a wife.
Just as Wei Dongning was about to raise her glass to drink, he hooked his arm around hers and led her to drink the wine in one gulp.
Having satisfied her thirst, Wei Dongning didn't linger and turned back into bed.
He closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
As for Gu Peiyan?
Wei Dongning said: "He's not stupid. He's such a grown man. Doesn't he know he should go to sleep when he's tired?"
Gu Peiyan didn't intend to do anything to her. Seeing that she was already asleep, he lay back down on the small couch.
Qianrong, who was on night watch at the door, heard the sounds coming from the room and assumed that his young master was preparing to move on to the next project.
He was prepared to hide and wait for the young master to finish before returning.
Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't play by the rules.
Qian Rong smacked her lips and muttered under her breath, "Does the young master actually like the young mistress? He said he did, but he didn't do anything on their wedding night. He said he didn't, but he was so thoughtful as to prepare a hand warmer for her and secretly kept her sachet. It's really strange."
The room was now quiet, and Qianrong saw no need to stay.
He pulled his clothes tighter and walked quickly back to his room.
The red candles burned all night.
By the time dawn broke, only a short section remained.
Gu Peiyan was the first to wake up on the small couch.
A tatami mat is never as comfortable as a bed.
After a night's sleep, all his muscles were screaming with soreness.
In contrast, Wei Dongning.
Eat your fill and sleep well.
She is still sleeping soundly.
Gu Peiyan suddenly had a mischievous thought.
The evil hand reached out to Wei Dongning, wanting to pinch her nose and let her experience what it means to be wicked.
But his conscience ultimately prevented him from doing it.
Instead, he nudged her shoulder twice and said, "Get up."
"Brother~ let me sleep a little longer, just a little while~"
Wei Dongning thought it was Su Yizhuo calling her, so she turned over, covered her head with the quilt, and unconsciously acted coquettishly.
Gu Peiyan was taken aback by the word "brother".
Who does she think she is?
Gu Peiyan felt a mix of emotions.
I resisted the urge to shake her awake and ask her what was going on.
The answer I'm about to hear is unlikely to be the one I want, so I might as well pretend nothing happened.
After letting her sleep for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he didn't give her another chance to whine. He pulled her out of the blanket and said, "Don't sleep anymore, we should go pay our respects."
Then, Xiao Fu, who was waiting outside, was summoned in to help Wei Dongning with her hair and makeup.
After a whole washing and grooming routine, even if Wei Dongning wasn't fully awake, she was still woken up.
With her eyes half-closed, she mentally complained to Xiao Wu, who had also just woken up: "If I had known that getting married required waking up early, I wouldn't have gotten married."
Xiao Wu, having slept well all night, was now full of energy. Like a curious child, she scanned the room and exclaimed in surprise, "You guys actually slept in separate beds last night?"
"I don't know? I guess so." Wei Dongning yawned. "I fell asleep first, and he woke up first."
"Your sleep quality is truly unparalleled, Ningbao. Even if a bad guy kidnapped you while you were asleep, you wouldn't know!"
A master once said: "Those who are carefree sleep well."
"Ningbao, do you think it might be that Gu Peiyan isn't good enough? Otherwise, why would he be so indifferent to you? Yesterday was our wedding night."
One of the four great joys in life, he was able to refrain from doing anything.
Xiao Wu expressed his admiration.
Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs.
The main problem is that she didn't know either.
“I’m not young,” Xiao Wu argued.
Gu Peiyan couldn't hear the conversation between Wei Dongning and Xiao Wu. Seeing that Wei Dongning's eyes were still closed and her head was bobbing up and down, she was quite speechless.
How can she sleep so much?
If you think about it carefully, she slept from the time she finished the wedding ceremony and had lunch yesterday until this morning.
"Miss, you're all done with your makeup," Xiao Fu whispered gently in Wei Dongning's ear.
I was afraid that my voice would be too loud and scare her.
Wei Dongning slowly opened her eyes, her thick, long eyelashes fluttering like two small fans.
"Sigh." Wei Dongning pouted, wanting to ask the man standing behind her, "Is it really necessary to invite An?"
But considering that this is ancient times, I gave up the idea.
"Let's go."
Wei Dongning stood up, walked to Gu Peiyan's side, and let him drape a thick cloak over her shoulders.
Gu Song got up early, dressed neatly, and sat in the main seat, waiting for the newlyweds who had just gotten married yesterday to come and pay their respects to him.
Her furrowed brows were exactly the same as Gu Peiyan's.
This was the second time Wei Dongning had met her father-in-law, and she felt that he looked a lot like her high school dean of students.
Every day, he would walk around the teaching building with a stern face and his hands behind his back, checking the appearance of every student who passed by.
Wei Dongning always avoided him.
It saves you from having to worry about everything when you go out.
Gu Peiyan pulled Wei Dongning to bow to Gu Song and sat down in the lower seat, waiting for Gu Song's instructions.
Gu Song frowned as he looked at how unfamiliar they were with each other.
There was no trace of the shyness of newlyweds on their faces.
If Qianrong hadn't mentioned that they slept in separate beds, he would have thought that the two of them had already settled into the mundane life of an old married couple.
To be fair, he had no objections to his daughter-in-law.
But just thinking about her unreasonable father gives him a headache.
There's a saying, "When a scholar meets a soldier, reason is useless," and that's absolutely true.
Gu Song had no experience in talking to little girls, so he could only give Gu Peiyan some pointers first.
"Now that you are married, as her husband, you should be more considerate of her, especially since you are a few years older than her. Don't bully this young lady."
"Yes, Father." Gu Peiyan nodded slightly.
"I do have a disagreement with her father, but it has nothing to do with you. Those are just normal exchanges in the court, so please don't let them affect your lives."
"I understand."
Seeing that they were having a pleasant conversation, Wei Dongning continued to complain to Xiao Wu in her mind: "Hey, if Gu Peiyan's dad were a bit bald, he would really look a lot like our head teacher. What do people in ancient times use to grow their hair? How come they didn't show any signs of baldness even in middle age?"
