Chapter 32 She Sleepwalks and Rubs Oil

“Chu Chenyin? Wake up?” Fu Yanting sat up and called out to her softly.

Chu Chenyin opened her eyes, her gaze vacant, and she didn’t react for a long time.

Fu Yanting got out of the covers, sat closer to her, and waved his hand in front of her eyes.

“Chu Chenyin?!”

To avoid waking up Fu Jianghong in the next room, he deliberately kept his voice low.

The deep, magnetic voice echoed in the quiet, empty room.

Chu Chenyin, as if startled awake, suddenly grabbed Fu Yanting’s hand and pushed him onto the bed, straddling him.

She was always a master of grappling, and before Fu Yanting could react, she had him pinned down.

“Chu Chenyin, are you awake or not?” Fu Yanting straightened his back and looked up at her.

Chu Chenyin’s eyes were still vacant. She tightly grasped the wrist of the person beneath her, pressed it against her head, and lowered her head, inching closer to him, as if examining the face of the person beneath her.

Her small nose gently approached Fu Yanting’s tall nose.

Their breaths intertwined.

Fu Yanting was very strong. If he flipped over now, he could definitely push Chu Chenyin under the bed, but seeing the little person with vacant eyes in front of him, he couldn’t bear to move.

Especially the warm breath that brushed against his face, soft and warm, carrying a faint fragrance, causing his heart to twitch slightly.

“Chu Chenyin, stop messing around if you’re asleep, be careful…” Fu Yanting softened his voice and grabbed her wrist with his other hand.

“Be careful of setting things on fire!”

Fu Yanting grabbed her hand and sat up abruptly, facing her.

Chu Chenyin was bent over, straddling him, her vacant eyes looking ahead, seemingly innocent.

Fu Yanting was burning hot. He wanted to scold her, but he couldn’t. He could only patiently say, “Be good, go to sleep, we have to move the gold mine tomorrow.”

His voice, which was originally deep, now had a soft, tingling tenderness, as if he were coaxing a kitten.

In her sleep, Chu Chenyin, changing from her previous ferocious appearance, shifted forward, pressing against the buckle of his waist, resting her forehead on his shoulder.

This position was really inconvenient.

Fu Yanting was uncomfortable all over, his ears turned red. He grabbed her arm and said, “Get down first.”

However, Chu Chenyin leaned against his shoulder and murmured in a crying voice, “Daddy…”

“What do you mean by ‘Daddy’?”

Fu Yanting was completely confused. He couldn’t take it anymore, so he grabbed her waist and lifted her up, ready to throw her aside.

But then, Chu Chenyin suddenly reached out and hooked her arms around his neck, burying her face in his neck, and murmured again, “Mommy…”

Mommy sounded very similar to “A Ma” from the north.

Fu Yanting understood now. It turned out she was missing her parents.

He reached out and gently patted her back, like comforting a child, “Hmm… good…”

His voice was soft and gentle.

Chu Chenyin, comforted, calmed down. Her eyes, which had been open, gradually closed.

Fu Yanting breathed a sigh of relief. However, the person in his arms was still sitting in a very inappropriate position.

He was extremely uncomfortable, but he didn’t dare to put her down directly. He could only grit his teeth and endure, reciting the Sutra of Purity and Selflessness over and over again in his heart.

The silvery moonlight outside the window fell on the two of them. Fu Yanting closed his eyes slightly and gently stroked Chu Chenyin’s back.

The quiet, empty room echoed with the sound of two heartbeats.

One was abnormally agitated, the other was slow and steady.

Chu Chenyin often had a dream where she saw her father and mother lying in a pile of rubble, covered in blood.

She ran towards them barefoot, calling out to her father and mother as she ran.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she ran, until her feet bled, she couldn’t reach her father and mother.

But tonight, in her dream, someone hugged her.

It was warm, like being in a soft cloud. She didn’t know who it was, but she was very attached to this embrace.

Gradually, she fell into a deep sleep for the first time, without dreaming again.

As the night deepened, with Fu Yanting’s agitated heart beating continuously, the progress bar of the seventh space moved forward again.

The next morning, dawn broke.

The dazzling sunlight shone in from the window. Chu Chenyin slowly opened her eyes and found herself in Fu Yanting’s arms again.

She quickly sat up and apologized, “General Fu… last night I…”
