Chapter 455 - Sleepy
Chapter 455 – Sleepy
As her biological clock struck, Raelle's eyes opened right on her usual time. As always, the last night's activities had not managed to make her feel like she needed to sleep in. In fact, the concept of sleeping in had never even existed in her life.
She was still wrapped in Shui Xian's arms. She didn't know how he never seemed to get tired of holding her in his arms every single night. She tilted her head up to look at his sleeping face. His eyes were closed, she could hear his calming breath, she could even feel his strong heartbeat under her hand.
She stared at his long eyelashes for a minute too long before she attempted to get up. The point was, her attempt failed since Shui Xian's arms tightened around her and he pulled her body back down. This time, her upper body fell on him. Making her nose bump into his chin slightly.
"If you're awake, let me go," said Raelle.
"Let's just stay in bed for a while," suggested in his groggy voice. His eyes were still closed but he had a satisfied smile on his lips. "We can cuddle."
"No," replied Raelle straightforwardly.
His eyes opened into a slit as he looked at her face and said, "Why not? Darling, don't you think last night was… intense?"
"So?"
"So, you should give your body some recovering time after such a heavy exercise," he tried to convince her.
"I'm very healthy," she told him. "My body doesn't need such a long recovering time."
She had a habit of exercising since she was young, she also had healthy habits in life. Whether it was her meals or lifestyle, there wasn't one single thing unhealthy about it. And that's why she definitely didn't think her body was as weak after sex. Even if she couldn't describe it, if she felt some discomfort, she'd know it.
However, the only discomfort she had was right after the first time they had sex. Later on, it was just normal.
Shui Xian opened his eyes to stare at her, "Why is it so difficult to make you laze around for a while?"
"Waste of time," she replied. "And time is money."
"Then can I pay you to laze around?" he asked.
"Sure," agreed Raelle immediately. "How much are you paying?"
Shui Xian sighed out, "Sweetheart, all my money is yours. All of me is yours."
Raelle nodded her head, "That's true. Then you're paying me, my own money? I don't think that's a profitable deal for me."
Shui Xian looked helpless as he said, "Then how about you do something fun?"
"What fun?"
His hand brushed against her back sensually, "What we did last night was fun?"
"Fun!" she answered.
Shui Xian smiled, "Then…"
Raelle kissed his cheek and sat up, "Don't even think about it. No matter how fun it was, currently, it's not time for it."
"Why does my wife have to live such a disciplined life?" he lamented to himself.
"I'm going to change and go for a run," told Raelle.
"I'm going to go back to sleep," said Shui Xian. He really couldn't get up and accompany her today. He just couldn't. Last night was too crazy. Too crazy!
He wasn't complaining though. He loved it. And it wasn't like he had weak stamina, it was just that he was feeling too lazy today. Especially when he thought about how he had to go to work. How sad!
He couldn't believe he had come to a point where he'd have hated going to the office.
Raelle didn't insist on taking him with her. She never asked him to follow him before. He did so on his own. And today he didn't want to, so she had nothing to say about it. She washed her face, changed into a tracksuit, and left.
Before leaving, she turned her head to look at Shui Xian who had his eyes closed even now. With his hugging the blanket, he seemed really cute. Raelle didn't even realize how her eyes seemed to be drawn to him.
As soon as she closed the door, Shui Xian's eyes opened and he groaned. That warm beauty he held at night was gone, and it seemed she took his sleep with her as well. What kind of talent was that?
However, that didn't mean he got out of bed. He was still buried in his cozy blanket with his eyes closed.
And when Raelle came back, she found him just like that. She opened the door of the bathroom but before she stepped inside, she called out, "Xian!"
"Hm?" he responded lazily.
"Are you still sleepy?" she asked.
"Yup!" he replied.
"What a pity," was her response. "I was hoping you'd help scrub my back but you look really sleepy."
Shui Xian threw his blanket away and got up in a hurry, "I'll do it!"
"Didn't you say you're sleepy?" reminded Raelle.
"What is sleep? Can you eat it?" he shot back.
"Then you can eat me?"
Shui Xian stepped closer to her and smirked, "I can gobble you up!"
"Oh?"
Shui Xian hugged her waist and stepped inside the bathroom with her saying, "Baby, you need to have faith in me. I'll rub your back nicely!"
"I'm not in the mood to let you rub my back anymore," said Raelle.
"Well, it's not in your hands anymore," he retorted as he gave her a rascally smile.
See? It was that easy to get him worked up. He was eager to cling to her all the time. She didn't even have to do much. Just a minute ago, he wanted to laze around but one word from her and he was out and about, looking so excited.
As Shui Xian turned on the hot water, he could only sigh to himself. He was really easy. What a disappointment he was. It seemed his father saw through him correctly, he was a wife slave.. If she said right, he definitely won't say left.
