You're Nervous

Su Jian paused for a moment. When she saw Jin Pingchuan listening quietly, she continued, "While taking the salary level of white-collar workers into consideration, the materials used are modest. For a house of this quality, the monthly rent of two to three thousand dollars is a little high. However, it's a new house. That value might be passable. By the way, who did you rent the house from?"

Jin Pingchuan leaned against the door and replied, "It was recommended by a friend. I took a look at it yesterday and thought it was okay. I bought some daily necessities in the afternoon, but I haven't bought them all yet. If you're free tomorrow, why don't we go together to take a look?"

Su Jian nodded, "Alright." She was satisfied with this house because it was close to the hospital. It allowed her to come back anytime to make some soup for Yao Qin. However, due to its excellent location, the price per square meter was very high. Buying a house here would cost at least 1.5 million dollars. She couldn't afford the down payment at the moment.

"Su Jian, it's getting late. Go wash up and sleep. You can use the master bedroom's bathroom while I'll use the one outside," Jin Pingchuan said while glancing at the time.

Su Jian hesitated. "Um... I didn't bring any change of clothes. I think I'll just go home and sleep..."

Jin Pingchuan smirked, "When I went shopping this afternoon, I picked out some things for you. The pajamas are in the closet. You can wear them for the night. If you don't like them, I can bring your clothes over later. Oh, and I also bought two sets of clothes for you to change into. They're all in your size."

Su Jian was dumbfounded. This person was too thoughtful for her good!

"Go wash up. You've had a busy day." Jin Pingchuan smiled as he gently stroked Su Jian's hair. He took out his pajamas from the closet and walked out.

Su Jian looked at the open wardrobe with a headache. Inside, she saw a silk nightdress in a light purple color. It was beautiful... but she wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. What should she do? Was she really going to sleep with him?

Su Jian spent more than an hour taking a shower. All the while, she felt indecisive. Finally, she walked out of the bathroom. Jin Pingchuan had claimed to have only bought some daily necessities, but in reality, he had bought everything. This included skincare products and makeup removers! They were all from a well-known brand that Su Jian had never been willing to buy before.

By the time she emerged from the bathroom, it was already midnight. Jin Pingchuan was dressed in black pajamas. He was leaning against the headboard of the bed, casually flipping through a magazine. When he heard the door open, a mischievous smile appeared in his eyes as he looked up.

"Come over and sleep," Jin Pingchuan patted the spot beside him.

Su Jian hesitated. She didn't want to go over, but... she also couldn't run away. They were husband and wife, and it was normal for husband and wife to share a bed. But she wasn't mentally prepared.

"I...," Su Jian nervously gripped her pajamas. "I'm not sleepy. I'm thirsty. I'll go get some water..."

Su Jian was certain that she looked very flustered and awkward because she noticed the light in Jin Pingchuan's eyes flickering.

Unable to bear it any longer, Su Jian turned around and intended to leave. But to her surprise, Jin Pingchuan suddenly got off the bed and grabbed her hand. "No need to go out. I've already poured water for you. After being in the bathroom for so long, you must be thirsty when you come out..."

Su Jian sighed internally. How could he even consider such a thing?!

"Thank you," Su Jian forced a smile. She looked up and saw a glass of water on the bedside table. She gently broke free from Jin Pingchuan's hand and went to pick up the glass. She drank it all and then said to Jin Pingchuan, "There's not enough water. I'll go get some more..."

"Su Jian, are you planning to drink water all night?" Jin Pingchuan couldn't help but laugh.

Su Jian blushed and lowered her head awkwardly.

"What are you so nervous about?" Jin Pingchuan stepped forward.

Su Jian took a step back and mustered up her courage to look at him. "Jin Pingchuan, can we discuss something?"

Under the soft light, Su Jian's long hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her light purple nightdress complemented her skin tone. Although it was a conservative style, it revealed her slender and fair arms. There was also a faint scent of shower gel on her body. As she struggled to meet his gaze, she was blushing in embarrassment. It ignited a fire somewhere deep within Jin Pingchuan.

Jin Pingchuan suppressed the urge to embrace her and asked, "What would this discussion be about?"

"C-Can we sleep in separate rooms?" Su Jian forced herself to express her unreasonable request. She thought Jin Pingchuan would be angry. To her surprise, he responded resolutely.

"No!"
