Chapter 158: Night Raid

The old house only had three rooms.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang shared one room, while Jiang Linyuan and Jiang Zhiyao each had their own.

Since Yu Songsong was staying overnight, she could only share a room with Jiang Zhiyao.

Technically, she could have shared with him, but New Year's Eve didn't mean things had to get sticky down there, so he needed a proper shower for the new year.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Linyuan felt some movement in his room and woke up.

Could it be a rat?

He opened his eyes, felt something warm pressed against his back, something heavy weighing down on him.

The feeling was full and plump, heavy and warm.

Whoa, it was a big-breasted rat.

And why wasn't she wearing her clothes properly!

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Linyuan didn't turn around, mainly because it wasn't convenient to do so.

Yu Songsong pressed herself against Jiang Linyuan's back, her pretty face slightly flushed, and whispered:

"Did I wake you, Senior?"

If you didn't wake me, were you going to... jolt me awake?

"Why are you in my room? Why aren't you sleeping properly!"

"I can't fall asleep without you beside me, Senior."

And I can't sleep with you here!

"Then what about your clothes? Why are you only wearing pajamas? And no bra?"

Jiang Linyuan asked, feeling the smooth, slick sensation against his back.

"It's uncomfortable. It feels better to let them loose."

As she spoke, Yu Songsong wrapped her arms around Jiang Linyuan again and murmured in his ear:

"Aren't you comfortable, Senior?"

Let me show you how comfortable I am!

Jiang Linyuan suddenly turned around, startling Yu Songsong. Her delicate body trembled slightly, her face blushing crimson with shyness.

She didn't dare look down, nor did she dare look at Jiang Linyuan's face. She closed her eyes and stammered:

"I... can I help you?"

With that, her hands started moving.

Damn! You've got some nerve!

"The soundproofing in the old house isn't great, and there's no protection either..."

Jiang Linyuan struggled to think, so he didn't do anything.

"You're cringe, Senior!"

Yu Songsong's face was red as she raised her voice, then lowered it again:

"I... I don't want it to be like this either. I want to keep it... a good memory... but right now, it's okay..."

Jiang Linyuan said nothing.

"Why isn't this door shut properly?"

Suddenly, Jiang Zhiyao's voice came from outside.

Yu Songsong only felt a tingling numbness in her chest, her body seeming to go limp, her hands losing their strength.

She quietly nestled in Jiang Linyuan's arms, her eyes shimmering like spring water.

"Are you asleep?"

Jiang Zhiyao knocked on the door and asked.

Jiang Linyuan didn't answer, and Yu Songsong didn't dare make a sound.

"Asleep?"

Jiang Zhiyao muttered to herself in confusion, and then there was silence.

Alright, alright, thank goodness she left.

Jiang Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then the sound of the door opening came.

Are you kidding me! I said I was asleep, why are you coming in!

Is there a second round too!

Jiang Zhiyao walked into Jiang Linyuan's room, looking left and right.

The old house room was only this big. Where could Yu Songsong have suddenly run off to hide?

You troublemaker!

She slowly approached Jiang Linyuan's bed.

The footsteps were very close. Yu Songsong tried to hide deeper in the blanket, fidgeting restlessly, and the passive wave attack hit him again.

You idiot Thief Saint! Don't move! What are you hiding! We haven't even done anything yet!

The more you hide, the more guilty you look!

Jiang Linyuan felt this wouldn't work. If Haji Yao really misunderstood this, she would definitely explode.

"What's all that noise?"

He pretended to have just been woken up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the expressionless Jiang Zhiyao by his bed.

She pointed at the bulging blanket:

"You don't know someone's in your bed?"

Do you think I'm blind? Do you think I can't tell someone's hiding under the covers! And you're moving!

This Yu Songsong!

Jiang Linyuan put on a shocked expression, threw off the blanket, and revealed the Thief Saint.

Her face was very red, she was wearing pajamas, and she looked up at Jiang Zhiyao:

"I... I was half-asleep and went to the wrong room after using the bathroom."

Do you think I believe that?

Jiang Zhiyao's face was ice-cold as she pointed outside:

"Get out."

Oh no! Getting caught by my future sister-in-law!

Ugh! This is so awkward! If I ever do it with Senior, I'll never be able to forget this day!

Yu Songsong had nothing to say. She'd been caught, so she had to run out quickly.

I'll come back next time.

Only Jiang Linyuan and Jiang Zhiyao remained in the room.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Jiang Linyuan smiled slightly.

"I'll sleep with you, to make sure she doesn't go to the wrong room again."

As Jiang Zhiyao spoke, she pulled another blanket from the room's cabinet.

Good, Haji Yao wasn't being too aggressive.

One bed, two blankets, sleeping separately.

The two of them lay quietly, neither able to sleep.

Jiang Linyuan couldn't sleep because his unborn children were a bit lively, causing a ruckus and wanting to play outside.

Right now, should he suppress it, or give in to impulse?

How to choose?

It's not like he could choose to both suppress and indulge at the same time, right?

"You're not asleep, are you?"

Jiang Zhiyao suddenly spoke up.

"No."

Jiang Linyuan answered quickly, trying to shift his focus by talking.

"You didn't do anything just now, did you?"

She asked.

"No, no matter what, I wouldn't do something like that in the old house."

Jiang Linyuan said.

Jiang Zhiyao was silent for a moment:

"There are some things you need to think clearly about. Once you start, there's no turning back."

Now she's lecturing me?

"Mm-hmm, I understand."

Jiang Zhiyao stretched her foot into his blanket and kicked him.

"What do you understand! You jerk!"

Jiang Linyuan grabbed her foot:

"Don't move around!"

I'm trying to adjust my mindset here, and you're just pouring oil on the fire!

"What are you doing!"

Jiang Zhiyao quickly pulled her small foot back, her heart pounding wildly, and shot Jiang Linyuan a fierce glare with her reddened face.

Pervert!

"I probably know what's on your mind."

She turned her face away, her voice a little muffled.

"Oh."

Jiang Linyuan replied.

That was normal too. He hadn't been hiding this kind of thing, and after years of living together, it made sense that Haji Yao could see it at a glance.

"If you're going to be a jerk, then be a complete jerk."

Jiang Zhiyao said this.

Jiang Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then hummed in acknowledgment.

He didn't need to be told that.

"Scoot over a bit. I have something to whisper to you."

Jiang Zhiyao suddenly lowered her voice, calling out to him.

Jiang Linyuan shifted his body, leaning his head closer.

"What is it?"

"It's related to Su Muzhi coming to our house tomorrow."

Jiang Zhiyao also shifted her body.

"Mm, go on."

Jiang Linyuan wondered what she wanted to say.

"It's just that..."

Jiang Zhiyao said, looking at the boy beside her, then stopped abruptly.

Once again, a gentle touch.

A soft sensation on his lips.

Only this time, it wasn't her index finger.

Jiang Zhiyao quickly retreated, covered her face with the blanket, and said in a muffled voice:

"I've said what I wanted to say. Sleep. Goodnight."
