Chapter 37: If You Have the Ability, Sleep With the Dynamic One! Speaking of Which, He and Xi Yun…
Washed clean, the youth lay in the covers, his whole body relaxed. With fluffy hair, he let out a long, comfortable sigh.
After nestling silently for a while, two slender, beautiful fingers poked out from the dark bedding. Le Can, resting with eyes closed, didn’t open them but lowered his head like a small animal to approach his fingertips, sniffing gently twice.
The clean and refreshing scent of body wash, mixed with an indescribably pleasant fragrance from the quilt.
It didn’t have the soul-destroying smell that filled his nose not long ago, reminiscent of a back-flowing sewer on a rainy day.
Especially at the moment the stinky brine was splashed, the turbid liquid with a strange fermented smell flew everywhere, the stench evaporating wantonly…
Recalling this scene, even lying in the soft, warm quilt, Le Can still shuddered forcefully.
This movement caused the bed to vibrate slightly. The movement was light, but obvious enough in the silent night. An arm’s length away, the person lying quietly in another quilt slowly opened his eyes.
Le Can knew nothing, having even forgotten about his “bedmate.”
He reached out to tuck in the quilt, rubbed his chin against the corner of the duvet, comfortable enough to want to roll around on the bed. Before taking action, the lazy youth suddenly remembered something.
—There wasn’t just him lying on this bed!
Having slept alone for too many years, the subconscious perception couldn’t be corrected in a short while; this couldn’t be entirely blamed on Le Can…
On the bed, the ball of quilt froze just like that.
After about two more minutes, a furry head quietly poked out, peeking towards the side like a sneaking cat.
Presumably, domineering CEOs don’t keep lights on when sleeping at night.
Xi Yun’s side was shrouded in darkness. Le Can couldn’t see the other’s expression clearly, only a vague side profile.
Borrowing the dim light of the small night lamp by his bed, with his back to the faint yellow light, he tried hard to widen his eyes.
Distinct from the messiness of his half of the quilt, the only clearly visible other half of the bed didn’t even have a superfluous wrinkle, fully demonstrating the world of difference between his and Xi Yun’s sleeping postures.
Le Can had already verified this point; it couldn’t be changed for the time being.
Maintaining an awkward posture, he secretly observed for quite a while… catching no movement. If not for the obvious rise and fall of the quilt, he would have thought no one was on the opposite side.
Head planting back onto the pillow, someone let out a very quiet breath.
After staying quiet for a few minutes, a hand slowly extended out of the covers, fumbling in the dark towards the low cabinet by the bed. It crept quietly, bit by bit from the edge to the center of the tabletop.
A cold, square phone, and below it, two thin items.
After touching the items, the sneaking hand paused, seeming to consider or worry about something. But immediately after, it greedily grabbed everything it wanted, bringing them quickly towards its owner.
The worry was correct.
Because before the hand could retract to his side, it overturned due to “overloading.”
Big and small items slid and scattered all the way, all falling onto the quilt surface. Before the phone smashed his face, Le Can reacted quickly and dodged.
He dodged the hidden weapon that was the phone, but another thin little booklet sliding behind it smacked straight onto his face.
“Mmph.” Le Can swallowed the sound caused by the double effect of surprise and pain, clutching his head and pulling the small thing off his forehead.
The smooth, flat leather-like paper surface reflected a luster similar to leather under the dim light. Even if the light wasn’t strong, one could see its festive and solemn jujube red color.
Red background with hot-stamped gold characters. At first glance, it looked like a student ID card had snuck in—Le Can had one in his previous life, and the little soft bun in this life had one too.
But Le Can knew very clearly that it wasn’t a student ID.
—The marriage certificate, freshly baked that day.
His proof of payment for two million in monthly pocket money!
Le Can, the money-grubber, cherished and touched the smooth surface of the little red book, thought for a moment, and flipped to the page with the holder’s information.
To be honest, Xi Yun was too efficient. To keep up with the other party’s rhythm, he only felt one word throughout the license acquisition process—Rush!
Although this marriage was fake, and the process of getting the certificate felt like spinning around with zero experience, but… the certificate in Le Can’s hand was real, possessing multiple tangible legal effects.
Two years later, he could even get a divorce certificate of the same size. Hiss… he would be a person with both certificates complete in the future.
His mind wandering aimlessly, Le Can suppressed the inexplicable emptiness in his heart and held the inner page up to the not-so-bright bedside lamp.
In the upper right corner of the page, on the 2-inch bareheaded photo with a red background, were two young faces that could withstand candid shooting and were hard to hide the handsomeness of even without editing.
Temporarily bought white shirts, solemn and calm facial expressions, backs straight with only shoulders touching…
To be honest, they didn’t look like an intimate couple coming to get married, but like comrades about to rush to the battlefield. Parenthesis: Not very familiar version.
Seeing his own familiar face that he had looked at for over twenty years, Le Can’s expression was indescribable as he wrinkled his current face into a little old man.
In his previous life, Le Can indeed knew his orientation early on, but although same-sex relationships were accepted by the public, the relevant marriage laws hadn’t been introduced.
So, he had never thought that his portrait would one day appear on a marriage certificate.
So weird, look again.jpg
Then his gaze shifted sideways. Xi Yun’s face, looking disdainful, cold, and the model of a solitary king, appeared beside him. That creepy, weird feeling almost made Le Can lose control of his expression.
It really doesn’t work!
The youth pursed his lips tightly, quickly closed the marriage certificate, seeking peace of mind by not seeing it.
Two people who might never have gotten married in their lives, two strange souls from different times… just came together like this, appearing in a small red book.
There was wonder, and there was absurdity.
But Le Can couldn’t deny that the word “fate” really didn’t speak reason, dammit!
He stretched his arm again, putting the marriage certificate back on the low table. As he retracted his hand, he picked up the two larger red booklets on the bed surface.
Those were the two household registers brought back from the Le family, one new and one old.
The corners of the old one were worn, but someone had later prepared a plastic protective cover to place it inside properly.
Flipping through the first few pages, the registration page with “Le Can’s” parents’ information was stamped with a red “Invalid/Cancelled” seal. His old page “survived.”
But Le Can knew that the people corresponding to that page had disappeared from this world…
The new household register was very new, registering only one person’s information, just like the household register Le Can held in the later period of his previous life.
The youth laughed at himself lightly.
【Wasted so many pages of paper in the back for nothing.】
Although he joked that it was best to save paper, Le Can had never considered merging his household registration with Xi Yun’s.
Two years sounded long, but in reality, it would pass in a flash. It would be more troublesome to separate then, so better not to get together from the start.
【When divorcing, leaving will be dashing too!】
In the darkness, a trace of unfathomable fluctuation flashed through the silver-grey eyes quietly gazing at the ceiling overhead.
The household register was moved to be with the marriage certificate. Le Can finally picked up his phone, thinking of taking the opportunity to send the payment to Uncle Xiong.
The Civil Affairs Bureau also worked normal hours and had weekends off. To rush through the process before they got off work, Le Can was transported there non-stop after getting the items from the Le family.
Even Xiong An Guo’s contact information was obtained by going through Xie Jun to add Yin Wuyu, and then getting it from Yin Wuyu!
This marriage was done in a whirlwind, hastily.
【Speaking of which, do Xi Yun and I count as… a flash marriage?】
Le Can was amused by his own inexplicable brain circuit.
With a smile on his face, he opened the chat page with Xiong An Guo and found the transfer page of this new world he had learned not long ago.
Le Wenxin was indeed as Le Can expected, cheap and inhumane!
Xiong An Guo’s group had twenty-one people in total, and Le Wenxin’s hiring fee for them was actually three thousand per person per month. No food or accommodation included, and the employment period was one month only.
Le Can didn’t even need to count on his fingers; after hearing it, he knew the remuneration Uncle Xiong’s group could get—sixty-three thousand.
Twenty-one people, sixty-three thousand, not even as high as the cost of a bag Le Qiushan used to buy, or a card recharge Li Qianping made at the beauty salon.
Oh right, Le Can was still a bit regretful not seeing these two when he went back to the Le family this time.
But listening to the latest news from the two “information brokers” Yuan Cheng and Xie Jun: the former was tearing into her cheating husband Wu Weixing in dark chaos; the latter was watching her child while suspiciously wondering if Le Wenxin was going to find someone else outside to have another son.
Not to mention, Le Can felt his scum uncle could really do such a thing.
Only then did he realize why Le Wenxin could coexist so gently in the same room with Le Ruisi after knowing his only son was gay. And why the latter’s attitude toward the former was diligent with a hint of urgency…
This drama of the Le family was truly full of twists and turns and very exciting.
While applauding expectantly in his heart clap clap, Le Can decisively entered two hundred thousand into the transfer amount.
Admittedly, Le Can liked money, but he wasn’t a miser who only took in and never gave out.
Towards honest people who strictly abided by rules but often suffered losses, he inevitably softened his heart. Compassion was one aspect, but more of it wasn’t that noble; he just thought of his former self.
Moreover, everyone could pounce on a person covered in stinky brine without blinking an eye to help him intercept them barehanded…
【Cough, consider the extra as mental damage compensation.】
Entering the password to transfer the two hundred thousand, Le Can didn’t look at the other party’s reply again. Of course, besides the above reasons, he also harbored the idea of using Uncle Xiong and the others to get close to Jian Minglang.
Naturally, the more the other party felt indebted, the better the effect…
Done with these, Le Can put the phone back on the bedside cabinet, contentedly preparing to meet the God of Wealth in his dreams.
Who would have thought that when he casually looked up ahead, the newly hung mirror on the wall clearly reflected a black shadow sitting quietly behind him!
Before his brain could react to what it was, Le Can’s foot had already kicked out reflexively.
The next second, a palm reacted quickly to block it, the wide-open tiger’s mouth firmly clamping onto the youth’s thin, exquisite ankle.
Le Can’s waist was suspended in mid-air. In his narrowed peach blossom eyes, panic instantly transformed into a strong desire to win.
Like an agile feline, his soft and tough waist twisted in mid-air, and he pounced with a clenched fist.
The next second, the hand holding the youth’s ankle flipped, and another large palm slipped in from the side. It neutralized the force on the swinging fist, backhandedly imprisoned it in the palm, and pressed it heavily onto the bed!
Le Can only felt the world spin, and then his whole person was pressed between the two tangled quilts.
Before the dizziness in his head disappeared, his other free hand smashed towards the head of the person on top of him, unwilling to show weakness.
His two regained long legs also coiled like vines around the sturdy waist and abdomen of the other person hovering above him, restraining the body from pressing down fully!
A muffled grunt came from above.
Before Le Can had time to look up, the hand that had hit something was forced up and pressed against the headboard together with its firmly pinned companion.
Then, the strange, scorching body pressed down seamlessly.
Le Can was firmly pinned to the bed, completely unable to move.
The intense collision had already made him dizzy. While waiting for his eyes to slowly adapt to the darkness to see clearly, he gritted his teeth, his chin forced up to look at the backlit person above: “Xi, Yun!”
Without waiting for the other party’s answer, a piece of soft white light drifted down, covering the sharp, burning peach blossom eyes.
“It’s sleep time now, Le Can.”
Someone who had been making small movements constantly since just now: “…”
Le Can felt a bit guilty, but seeing the person on top of him didn’t loosen up at all after he struggled twice, he couldn’t help curling his lip and stinging him with a few words.
“Just got the certificate, and already starting to dislike me? Xi Yun.”
The accused was silent for two seconds: “I don’t dislike you.”
“Oh?” The youth’s tone carried disbelief.
He tilted his head; the white silk covering his brows and eyes slipped a section but still covered his beautiful eyes completely.
Even if Xi Yun couldn’t see, he could still feel Le Can opening those eyes, looking straight at him.
“Not disliking means liking then.”
“So with this posture now, do you want to consummate the marriage tonight? Husband?”
After a long silence, Le Can felt the force on his hands and body lighten.
Before he could pull away the obstructive white silk, look at the male lead’s face, and properly mock him a few more times—preferably making the other party unable to sleep tonight—
Suddenly, the soft quilt covered Le Can’s head overwhelmingly. He was pushed by a force that allowed no refusal to the territory where he was supposed to stay.
“Shut up, sleep.”
“Heh~”
…
【If you have the ability, sleep with the dynamic one!】
Author’s Note: Some people, however big their talk is now, will have just as much regret later. [Milk tea][Evil smile]
