Chapter 1061: Double Standards

The night was dark and silent.

Wen Xinya laid in Si Yiyan’s arms and opened her eyes to see that it was already half-past two in the morning. She was so tired that she could not even open her eyes. However, she struggled to keep herself awake.

Although she could not experience the pain that Si Yiyan was going through because of his insomnia, she could accompany him through his sleepless nights. Although she knew that she was being rather silly, she could not imagine leaving Si Yiyan alone in the dark to wait for daybreak to arrive while she slept soundly.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Si Yiyan asked, tightening his grip on her waist.

Wen Xinya answered softly, “I can’t sleep!”

Afraid that she would disrupt Si Yiyan’s sleep, she remained still for the entire night and tried her best not to move. As a result, she was overwhelmed with discomfort. She did not expect... that she would disturb him just by opening her eyes.

Si Yiyan moved her into a comfortable position and kissed her on her cheek. “You’re such a silly lass.”

Does she think that I won’t know that she’s been staying awake just because she doesn’t dare move or make a sound? Her irregular breathing and stiff body have already given everything away.

She could not remain still at all whenever she was sleeping. She would kick her blanket off and toss and turn in bed. Hence, he would often have to adjust the blanket for her several times throughout the night. The fact that she stayed still simply meant that she was pretending to be asleep.

Pouting indignantly, Wen Xinya retorted. “If I’m silly, you definitely have a peculiar taste in women. You actually fell for a fool like me.”

She sounded rather coquettish and smug.

Si Yiyan smiled and nibbled her ear gently. “You’re right, I just like silly lasses.”

His insomnia was the reason she decided to stay up late together with him. She was obviously being silly, though he felt extremely touched by her actions.

Wen Xinya pursed her lips and remained silent.

Si Yiyan exclaimed, “Go to bed!”

Wen Xinya expressed assent vaguely.

Si Yiyan felt rather helpless because Wen Xinya refused to sleep unless he did. “Don’t worry, my insomnia is not as serious as it was previously. Besides, my condition has already improved after the nourishments that you’ve been giving me.”

For the past few days, she had been painstakingly brewing medicine and soup for him to soothe his senses in a bid to cure his insomnia. She would also give him head massages and light up some aromatherapy incense which smelled like her. He could sense that he was starting to relax even though he was still suffering from insomnia.

Wen Xinya purposely said, “Who’s worried about you? I was just afraid that I’d oversleep because I had a nap in the afternoon. That’s why I decided to stay awake.”

As soon as Wen Xinya finished speaking, she was overwhelmed with fatigue and stifled a yawn before blinking as much as she could in a bid to wake herself up.

Si Yiyan laughed and said, “Your eyelids are so heavy and yet, you still said that you’re not tired!”

Wen Xinya pushed Si Yiyan and exclaimed, “Those are double standards!”

He’s not sleeping but he’s making me sleep.

Si Yiyan held her in his arms resignedly, unsure of what he should say.

Wen Xinya’s fatigue almost made it impossible for her to even open her eyes. Having lacked sleep for two nights, Wen Xinya finally experienced a headache. She could feel her temples throbbing and the excruciating pain caused her forehead to crease into a frown.

However, she knew that her misery was nothing compared to Si Yiyan’s!

She felt that she could understand Si Yiyan’s pain.

When she found out that Si Yiyan had suffered a relapse previously, she felt as if she was drowning and unable to breathe. She jumped into the icy cool swimming pool without hesitation, after which the freezing water traveled from her nose to her throat and into her lungs. The unbearable pain was enough to cause someone to develop emotional trauma.

Wen Xinya asked softly, “Si Yiyan, does your head hurt? Why don’t I give you a massage? I learned some massage techniques from Grandpa Du today, which he said would help with soothing the cerebrum. It also relieves fatigue, aids with sleep and strengthens the brain.”

Holding her tightly in his arms, Si Yiyan said, “Leave it for when we have time tomorrow. Go to bed now.”

If it weren’t because of his insomnia, he wouldn’t have known how brilliant her massage skills were. She frequently massaged him to ease his body.

Beyond fatigued, Wen Xinya began to forget about giving him a massage. She found a random excuse to keep herself awake. “Si Yiyan, when are you going to be free? Zhou Tianyu and the rest have been pestering me to get you to treat them to a meal.”

After giving it some thought, Wen Xinya felt that she should have introduced Si Yiyan to her friends way back, lest they get upset and make things difficult for Si Yiyan.

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Arrange the date and time according to your own preference. I’ll do anything to accommodate to it.”

Si Yiyan was obviously pleased to meet the people from Wen Xinya’s social circle. After being in a clandestine relationship for three years, they could finally stop hiding their relationship. He felt rather proud of being able to openly let everyone know that he was her boyfriend.

After some careful consideration, Wen Xinya said, “My friends are real pieces of work. You have to be careful when dealing with them.”

Miss Wen, is it really appropriate of you to degrade your friends like that?

Si Yiyan asked, “Are you worried about me?”

Wen Xinya’s friends would be devastated to know how much she valued her boyfriend over them.

Glaring at him, Wen Xinya retorted. “Who’s worried about you? I’m just afraid that you’d embarrass me.” Feeling self-righteous, she added, “Yes, that’s right!”

Wen Xinya was truly relentless.

Si Yiyan did not expose her for saying one thing and meaning another. “I believe your friends will go easy on me for your sake.”

Wen Xinya pouted. In fact, she was worrying for nothing. Si Yiyan could even handle Old Mr. Mo, let alone her friends. However, she still could not help but feel a little concerned. After all... she wanted the love of her life to gain the approval of her friends and get their blessings.
