Chapter 65: Sir, Please Marry Me! p2
The next day, Xue Yu finally realized the true meaning of Zhou Siyan’s “I’ll wake you up tomorrow morning” from last night.
This was what Zhou Siyan used to do most often when they were dating. He would wake her up with his mouth in the morning.
Xue Yu was startled awake from her deep sleep, so scared by this mouth alarm clock that she was not light.
Her physical fitness had improved greatly now. She subconsciously wrapped her legs around him and almost broke Zhou Siyan’s neck.
Zhou Siyan held her knees to break free and coughed violently.
Only then did Xue Yu realize that it was him. She sat up and checked. “Are you okay? Are you alright?”
Zhou Siyan had recovered a little and said, “It’s nothing. I choked on some water.”
Xue Yu helped him pat his back. “How did you get in? Did you pick the lock? Be careful. I’m a key target of the supervisors now. Don’t let them find out.”
Zhou Siyan held her shoulders and had her lie down again. “I didn’t pick the lock. I climbed in through the window.”
“Such a high floor, just for this?” Xue Yu touched his hair. “I’m so touched.”
Zhou Siyan had no time to respond to her.
“There’s a skilled oralist in the White Tower. From now on, the honest person won’t get up,” Xue Yu’s thoughts were blank, her eyes glazed over as she stared at the ceiling. Then she trembled violently, her body curling up. “Zhou Siyan, are you trying to murder me? What is this!”
Xue Yu pushed him away and curled up in a corner.
The blackout curtains were drawn tightly. Xue Yu fumbled to turn on the light, and the room brightened. She found that Zhou Siyan had slight signs of bestial transformation. His eyes, which were usually not at all conspicuous, had turned into the golden pupils of a wild beast.
“Don’t panic. I’m just trying out a new trick on you.”
He licked his lips, leaned towards Xue Yu, and held her in his arms, sticking out his bright red tongue for her to see.
Zhou Siyan’s tongue was very healthy, a clean, bright red.
Xue Yu looked closely and finally found the clue. There was a layer of fine barbs on Zhou Siyan’s tongue. It was these fine barbs that had been scraping her just now, and her three souls and seven spirits had been hooked away.
She stuck her fingers into Zhou Siyan’s mouth and touched it. “What is this? Are you mutated or perverted?”
Zhou Siyan’s tongue played with her fingers. “These are the barbs of a feline beast. I’ve been able to easily control the degree of bestial transformation recently, so I brought them out for you to play with.”
“This is too…” Xue Yu couldn’t find the right words to express her feelings. “This is too much fun.”
Zhou Siyan kissed her palm. “Don’t worry. I can control the hardness of the barbs. I won’t hurt you.”
Xue Yu patted her red face. “You have so many tricks.”
It seemed that Feng Qizhou still didn’t understand Zhou Siyan very well. That childish doctor-patient drama couldn’t compare to these dense barbs.
“Want to play some more?” Zhou Siyan raised an eyebrow.
Xue Yu went with the flow. “If you want to play, I can’t refuse. I’m a responsible and good woman.”
Zhou Siyan first kissed her. When he kissed her, he retracted the barbs, and his tongue was smooth and flowing.
But when he kissed other places, the fine and obvious barbs gradually came into play. Xue Yu almost couldn’t take it. Her soul left her body, and she was half-conscious, unable to come back to her senses.
When she woke up, the bed sheet under her had been changed.
There was the sound of running water from the bathroom. Xue Yu put on her slippers and went to look. She saw Zhou Siyan washing the bed sheet by hand, his expression focused, his movements skilled.
Xue Yu walked over and hugged him from behind. “Seeing you wash clothes like this, I always feel like we’re married.”
“Do you want to marry me?” Zhou Siyan turned his head and kissed her.
Xue Yu’s face was full of determination. She took out a simple ring from her pocket. “I bought this in the South Continent. I specially bought it for you.”
Zhou Siyan took the ring. “I should wear it on my ring finger, right?”
The rings in the White Tower had no meaning. He had only learned from Xue Yu before that the ring worn on the ring finger was called a wedding ring and could only be worn after getting married.
“Yes, you should wear it on your ring finger,” Xue Yu said.
“Xue Yu, if you had to choose someone to marry, who would you choose?” Zhou Siyan asked this question for the first time.
Xue Yu didn’t even have to think and blurted out without any hesitation, “Of course it’s you. You are the most suitable marriage partner in my heart.”
Xue Yu sincerely felt that Zhou Siyan had a strong husbandly vibe, especially after having a child, he had an even stronger husbandly aura. If she were to get married, it would definitely be Zhou Siyan.
Zhou Siyan’s position in her heart was unshakable.
Zhou Siyan had prepared breakfast for Xue Yu. He observed the situation in the corridor and, in the second that the camera turned, he quickly left her dorm.
After Xue Yu finished her breakfast and rested, she went to the Manster Building to wander around, planning to find a chance to spend time with the child.
She walked back and forth on the stairs and in the corridor, exercising and looking for an opportunity. A supervisor, like a ghost, was always staring at her. No matter where she went, that supervisor was following her.
Xue Yu simply went up to the supervisor and told her in a low voice, “Sister, go and watch Lu Sen and Bai Qi. Those two kids are very restless. If you watch them, you’ll definitely get something.”
The supervisor believed Xue Yu’s words and turned her attention to Lu Sen and Bai Qi.
Only then did Xue Yu have a chance to go to Zhou Siyan’s office to see Xue Xiaohai.
Xue Xiaohai could walk very steadily now. She ran around the office, playing hide-and-seek with her little seahorse, sometimes hiding behind the curtains, sometimes hiding under Zhou Siyan’s desk.
She was full of energy. She climbed up Zhou Siyan’s leg and sat on the desktop screen. “Daddy, I want Mommy!”
“Mommy will be here in a little while.”
“She’ll be here in a little while,” she repeated Zhou Siyan’s words, took off the lamb hat on her head, and tried to grab Zhou Siyan’s hair. “Daddy, hat. Put the hat on Daddy.”
This time, Zhou Siyan stood up straight and resolutely refused to let her ruin his hairstyle. “Mommy will be here in a little while. Baby can’t mess up Daddy’s hair. If Mommy comes and sees that Daddy is not handsome, she won’t come over in the future.”
Xue Xiaohai didn’t understand. She pulled at the hat and put it back on her own head.
Xue Yu finally arrived and sent a message to Zhou Siyan at the office door. Zhou Siyan pressed the open door button on his desk, and the door opened a small crack.
Xue Yu squeezed in and rushed over to hug Xue Xiaohai. “My sweetie, did you miss Mommy?”
“I missed Mommy,” Xue Xiaohai grabbed Xue Yu’s face and couldn’t stop smiling.
Xue Yu watched the child run around the office and sighed, “She’s only eight months old, and she can already run like this. What will she be like in the future?”
She then held Xue Xiaohai on her lap, opened the screen of her Cloud Sound Box, and showed the child the pictures she had taken on the island.
“Xiaohai, this is our new home. When Mommy has built our new home, I’ll take you and your sisters there. We can run on the beach together, okay?”
Xue Xiaohai was engrossed in the pictures. “Beach?”
Xue Yu pointed to the picture of the beach. “Yes, this is the beach.”
She then pointed to other pictures. “This is the sea, this is a tree, this is a boat.”
While waiting for the new shipping mission, Xue Yu had nothing to do. She simply had Feng Qizhou send Xiaobei and Xiaonan to the office, and she played with the three children in the lounge all day.
The children were so happy that they all clung to Xue Yu.
In the afternoon, Xue Yu remembered that she still had some toys on her ship that she hadn’t brought for the children. She was about to go to the pier to get them.
But she received a message from the head deacon. The order was serious, and she was asked to go to the office for a talk.
Xue Yu had a bad feeling. She told Zhou Siyan and left the office.
On the way, she ran into Meng Wu. Meng Wu was walking in the corridor, as if he were taking a walk.
Xue Yu ran over and asked, “Sir, how have you been thinking?”
Meng Wu and she went to the corner of the stairs to talk. “Do you really want this child?”
“I really want it, I really want it, I really want it! I even dream about it!” Xue Yu said, looking heartbroken. “The thought of such a small life disappearing makes me so sad.”
Meng Wu: “Do you really know how men have children?”
Xue Yu: “I know. Zhou Siyan and Feng Qizhou are both experienced. If you want to have one, you don’t have to cross the river by feeling the stones. I’ll just carry you across!”
Meng Wu’s eyelashes lowered. “Give me one more day to think about it.”
“Okay!” Xue Yu was in a hurry to go to the head deacon’s office and had no time to talk to Meng Wu anymore. She turned and ran.
When she reached the head deacon’s office, the usually kind and gentle head deacon had a straight face and gave Xue Yu a severe scolding.
The reason was that since Xue Yu had joined the extreme sexual conservatives, besides the first initiation ceremony, she had never participated in any other meetings.
Xue Yu explained seriously, “Head Deacon, I’m so sorry. I’m a captain now. The water transport center sent me to the South Continent to transport goods. It took me a month and a half to go back and forth. I couldn’t help it.”
The head deacon drew a few crosses on her attendance record.
“Xue Yu, this is not good. How about this? You resign from the position of captain and stop doing shipping. I’ll arrange a new job for you. You can be my assistant here. The salary is much higher than a captain’s.”
Xue Yu certainly couldn’t accept it. “I’m sorry, Head Deacon. I can’t resign from this position. I love this job very much. I want to contribute to the White Tower.”
She said with sincerity, “Please, give me a chance to contribute to the White Tower! The job of a captain is hard and tiring, and no one is willing to do it. I chose to be a captain because I want to give my sincere heart to the White Tower.”
The head deacon was actually moved by her.
However, if Xue Yu continued to be a captain, she could not attend the meetings on time, which was against the rules.
If she was kicked out of the extreme sexual conservatives, Xue Yu would not be able to hold two positions, both a mercenary and a captain, which Xue Yu was also unwilling to do.
In the end, the head deacon showed Xue Yu a way out—marriage.
And it had to be with an open-minded person. This way, according to the rules, she could transfer from the extreme sexual conservatives to the regular sexual conservatives.
In this way, she would not have to attend meetings and could also continue to serve as a captain and a mercenary.
“Do I have to marry an open-minded person?” Xue Yu asked.
The head deacon: “That’s right. And you have to have that open-minded person also join the regular sexual conservatives.”
Xue Yu gritted her teeth. An open-minded person, that can only be Meng Wu.
She first went to Zhou Siyan’s office. “Zhou Siyan, can you give me back the ring I gave you this morning?”
Zhou Siyan: “Why?”
Xue Yu showed a look of heroic determination. “Because I’m going to propose to someone else!”
Just then, Meng Wu also came to Zhou Siyan’s office.
Xue Yu took a deep breath and said to him directly, “Sir, please marry me!”
Zhou Siyan’s face visibly turned ashen.
