Chapter 9: Not enough fun last night, let's continue tonight.
On the other side, Bai Rongbei and Su Wanwan sat in the room, the atmosphere a little awkward.
There was only one bed and two chairs in the room.
Bai Rongbei sat in a chair, and Su Wanwan sat on the edge of the bed, more than a meter apart, and neither of them spoke.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the wind on the Gobi Desert picked up, making the windows rattle loudly.
In the end, Bai Rongbei spoke first.
His voice was calm, revealing no emotion: "I know we got married for a reason. Your family wants someone to rely on, and my family... wants to fulfill our parents' wishes."
He paused, then looked at Su Wanwan: "I can't have children. You know that."
Su Wanwan nodded gently.
"As for our sex life," Bai Rongbei said directly, "I respect your decision. If you don't want to, we don't have to."
Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him.
In the dim light, half of Bai Rongbei's face was in shadow, making it impossible to see his expression.
But you could tell he was serious and wasn't just saying things out of anger.
Su Wanwan suddenly felt a little uneasy.
She felt that Bai Rongbei's words were implying that she was incapable, so he was giving her a heads-up.
She thought for a moment, then said softly, "It's okay. Medical technology is getting more and more advanced now, and I can get treatment..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Bai Rongbei's face darken.
He stared at her, his eyes deep, a fleeting emotion flashing across them, but he quickly regained his composure.
"No need," he said, only two words.
Su Wanwan shut her mouth.
She realized she had said the wrong thing.
Silence fell in the room again.
This silence was even more awkward than before, as if it had a tangible weight, making it hard to breathe.
Su Wanwan was restless, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers.
Bai Rongbei stood up: "I'll go get some water."
He went out carrying the thermos.
Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
Bai Si'an's dormitory had the same layout as Bai Rongbei's, only it was more chaotic.
The table was piled high with blueprints and reference books, and several wooden boxes stood in the corner, their contents unknown.
The bed was tidy, with the military green sheets laid out neatly and the quilt folded into a perfect square.
After entering the room, Lin Weiwei looked around and finally her gaze fell on Bai Si'an.
Bai Si'an closed the door, turned around and saw her staring at him. He pushed up his glasses somewhat awkwardly: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much," Lin Weiwei said frankly, walking to the table and casually flipping through the drawings. "I just think you look quite refined with your glasses on."
Bai Si'an looked at her lowered profile; her eyelashes were long, her nose was slightly upturned, and her lips...
He remembered last night.
He was drunk at the time, and the room was dark. He only remembered that the woman hugged him and called him "husband" in a soft voice and with a soft body.
He assumed it was his wife and didn't think much of it.
Now that I'm awake, looking at this face again, it's actually quite different from the one in the photo.
The Lin Weiwei in the photo is gentle and graceful, but the one in front of me is more lively, and her eyes seem to have a light in them.
Lin Weiwei stood up and sat down on the edge of the bed, very close to him.
She had a faint fragrance, not like a face cream, but more like her own natural scent.
Bai Si'an moved to the side.
Lin Weiwei saw this and chuckled, "Why are you hiding? Do you think I'd eat you?"
Bai Si'an pushed up his glasses but didn't say anything.
Lin Weiwei stared at him, then suddenly reached out and gently touched his glasses frame: "What's your prescription?"
"Three hundred," Bai Si'an said.
"Let me pick it and see," Lin Weiwei said.
Bai Si'an hesitated for a moment, but still took off his glasses.
Without his glasses, his eyes appeared clearer.
She has deep double eyelids with slightly upturned corners, giving her a somewhat aloof look when she looks at people. But right now, because she can't see clearly, her gaze is somewhat blank.
Lin Weiwei leaned closer and looked at her carefully: "Your eyes are quite beautiful."
Bai Si'an felt uncomfortable under her gaze and tried to put his glasses back on, but Lin Weiwei snatched them away.
"Let me try them on," she said, placing the glasses on her nose.
Her glasses prescription was quite strong, and she felt dizzy after putting them on. She quickly took them off, saying, "I'm so dizzy!"
Bai Si'an took the glasses and put them back on; the world became clear again.
Lin Weiwei was still looking at him when she suddenly said, "Actually, you're quite handsome."
Bai Si'an was stunned for a moment, his ears burning: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not making this up," Lin Weiwei said seriously. "You're a bit fairer than your brother, and your features are more delicate. You look quite refined with glasses on, but without them... well, you're a bit wild."
Her words were so blunt that Bai Si'an blushed and looked away, saying, "Ladies, please watch your words."
"What's there to be concerned about?" Lin Weiwei asked matter-of-factly. "I complimented my husband on his looks, so what?"
Bai Si'an choked.
He recalled last night, when this woman was just as bold, hugging and kissing him, her hands also wandering...
As I thought about it, my face grew even hotter.
Lin Weiwei noticed his ears were red and found it amusing, so she leaned closer and asked, "Hey, are you shy?"
Bai Si'an stepped back and almost fell off the bed.
Lin Weiwei reacted quickly and grabbed him: "Be careful!"
With that pull, the two of them got even closer.
Lin Weiwei gripped his arm, feeling the firm muscles beneath the fabric.
She remembered touching it last night—that hard chest, those defined abdominal muscles…
"You have a great figure," she blurted out.
Bai Si'an's neck turned red: "Lin Weiwei!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Weiwei blinked. "I'm telling the truth. I felt it last night, it's a six-pack."
Bai Si'an took a deep breath and tried to remove her hand, but Lin Weiwei held on tightly.
"Let go," he said.
"I won't let go," Lin Weiwei said, her eyes fixed on his lips.
His lips were thin and pale; they were warm and soft when he kissed her last night…
