Goodnight, Silly Bear

Chapter 261

At dinnertime, the family of four gathered around the dining table.

Gu Ran, looking serious on the surface, held his bowl and ate his rice, but under the table, he quietly extended his leg and used the back of his foot to stroke the soft, tender calf of the young girl, teasing her wildly.

Having endured too much stimulation throughout the day, the girl's body instantly tensed up.

Her knuckles turned white as she gripped her chopsticks, biting her lower lip tightly, forcing herself to endure the waves of numbness coming from under the table.

"Zhenzhen, what horror movie did you guys go see? Was it really that scary? Look at how frightened you are, your face still looks pale."

Ye Shulian asked while serving vegetables to her daughter.

"Ah... we watched Kayako, it was indeed quite scary."

Ye Zhenzhen stammered in reply, while fiercely stomping on the mischievous foot under the table.

"Mom, if you have the chance, you and Uncle Gu should go see it too, right... little brother!"

The girl emphasized her words, practically gritting her teeth on the last two words.

The person named remained expressionless, and his movements under the table became even more brazen.

He gently placed his foot on the inside of her knee.

"This movie is really good, it strikes deep into the soul..."

Watching Gu Ran describe it so vividly, Ye Shulian got goosebumps.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm getting older, my heart can't take it!"

Gu Xiangcheng chimed in at the right time: "Your aunt is timid, if she watched it, she'd be so scared she wouldn't sleep for nights!"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Ye Shulian gently curled her hand into a fist and placed it by her lips, coughing a few times in warning.

Gu Xiangcheng, having a strong desire to survive, immediately shut up.

"Eat, eat, Shulian, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"

"Hmph~"

Ye Shulian gave him a flirtatious glare and continued asking.

"This is just the first day of the holiday, how are you guys planning to spend the rest of the days? Do you want Mom to go shopping with you?"

"N-no need, Mom! We... hiss..."

Ye Zhenzhen gasped, almost throwing the bowl in her hand away.

This dog, where is he touching!!

"What's wrong?"

Gu Xiangcheng, sitting across from her, looked up in confusion.

"N-nothing, I bit my tongue."

The girl quickly lowered her head to hide her flushed cheeks.

She felt like she would sooner or later be driven crazy by this bastard!

With the elders right in front of them, how could he be so arrogant!

After dinner, having finished cleaning up, the girl left a sentence and rushed into her room.

"Mom, I'm sleeping in my own room tonight, I need to review my lessons."

Ye Shulian looked deeply at her back, without exposing her.

"Okay, then rest early."

Then, she turned to Gu Xiangcheng on the sofa.

"Old Gu, you're moving back to the master bedroom to sleep tonight."

"Alright," Gu Xiangcheng happily followed his wife back to their room.

In the master bedroom, the door closed.

Ye Shulian sat at the dressing table, applying skincare products while seemingly casually bringing up a topic.

"Old Gu, I heard from Mrs. Wang next door that she has a relative in a blended family. Both sides brought a child, and guess what?"

"These two kids actually got together. What do you think about this?"

Gu Xiangcheng, who was making the bed, suddenly trembled.

He knew there was a reason his right eyelid had been twitching all day!

So she was digging a hole for him here!

Did Shulian... see through it?

That shouldn't be, he had covered it up quite well!

To be safe, it was better to play it cool!

He laughed it off, speaking vaguely.

"That depends on the parents' thoughts, I think..."

He paused, secretly observing Ye Shulian's expression in the mirror.

Was she fishing for information, or did she really mean to let it go?

Ye Shulian, not hearing the rest of his sentence, stopped what she was doing and glanced at him in the mirror.

"Hmm? What do you think?"

Seeing her slight frown, Gu Xiangcheng secretly calculated.

Given his wife's conservative nature.

If she asked this, she probably disapproved.

Better to go along with her for now, and deal with the rest later!

Going along with her, he, Old Gu, was quite good at that!

He then confidently said: "I think it's too outrageous! Since it's a blended family, they are actual brothers and sisters, how can they mess around together?"

Ye Shulian sighed heavily in her heart.

Sure enough, the older generation's mindset wasn't so easily changed.

"Don't you agree!"

Ye Shulian ignored him, took off her shoes, and got into bed.

Gu Xiangcheng thought it over, not understanding where he had misspoken.

He took off his shoes, got into bed, and hugged his wife from behind.

Before he could do anything else, Ye Shulian swatted away the paw on her waist.

She turned over and looked at Gu Xiangcheng, her tone serious.

She had wanted to sound him out, but hearing his righteous tone, she figured he wouldn't easily agree.

On second thought, although she had a plan in mind, she was also afraid that the two kids would progress too fast in their fiery passion.

"I think the two kids are getting a bit too close."

Ye Shulian's tone remained serious.

"Tomorrow morning, you go for a morning run with them!"

Gu Xiangcheng's head swelled.

He had personally bumped into the two of them in the kitchen, that wasn't "getting close," they were practically welded together.

But he could only bite the bullet and agree repeatedly.

Secretly rejoicing that he hadn't taken the wrong side just now.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even have a corner of this master bedroom bed tonight.

Meanwhile, in Ye Zhenzhen's bedroom.

The girl turned off the light and wrapped herself up like a silkworm cocoon.

As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with Kayako's pale face and twisted limbs from the movie.

She shivered in her blanket, not even daring to stick her toes out.

Eventually, her fear of the female ghost triumphed over her shyness.

She reached for her phone, gritting her teeth, and sent an SOS to a certain bastard.

[Doctor Ye: I... I'm a bit scared.]

Less than a minute after the message was sent, a very light noise came from the sliding door on the balcony.

A moment later, Gu Ran smoothly pushed the window open and entered.

The girl watched this overly practiced movement from the crack in her blanket, her face turning red again.

This guy, so fast?

He probably hadn't even taken his clothes off, just waiting for her signal!

Dog!

The boy glanced at the floor mat already laid out on the ground by the moonlight and calmly chose to ignore it.

Braving the girl's shy, angry, and helpless gaze.

He shamelessly lifted the corner of the blanket and squeezed onto the large bed that smelled of osmanthus.

He hooked his long arm around her and tightly hugged the stiff girl.

"Dog, pushing your luck! Who told you to come up! Roll down and sleep on the floor!"

The girl tried to kick him off.

Not only did she fail, but her small foot was tightly clamped by Gu Ran's legs.

"Protecting you, how can I protect you if I'm not close? If I'm so far away, I won't be able to save you when the female ghost comes."

I don't even want to expose you!

Is that protecting?

You clearly just want to take advantage of me!

Ye Zhenzhen bit her lip, wanting to resist but afraid of making too much noise and being heard by her parents.

Gu Ran took advantage of this hesitation and contentedly tightened his arms.

He gently kissed the top of her head.

Ye Zhenzhen's entire body tensed up, and her mind started racing.

She thought that with this bastard sneaking into her bed in the middle of the night, he would definitely take the opportunity to try something naughty.

However, after waiting for ages, the person beside her didn't make another move other than that earlier touch on the top of her head.

His breathing gradually grew steady.

Wait... that was it?

That wasn't like this jerk at all!

He wasn't going to take the chance to do anything else??

Realizing exactly what she had been expecting, the girl wanted to slap herself.

What are you thinking, Ye Zhenzhen!

You are completely crazy!

In the darkness, her cheeks burned as she buried her face into the boy's chest, unable to stop the corners of her lips from curling up into a smile.

Goodnight, you silly bear.
