Chapter 107: Being Slow in Love

Translator: Flying Lines

Little Ye’s hands almost felt sore and he then started talking. “Little Ye, I’ve been treating you poorly lately. You must feel very wronged, don’t you?”

“It’s...it’s alright.” Little Ye was also very tense. She was not used to the current Xiao Baoshan.

“I used to think that as long as I don’t touch you but take responsibility for you my whole life, I’d make a good husband, but now I find that it isn’t so. The only way that I’ll make a good husband is by treating you as my real wife.”

Little Ye’s heart started beating like crazy and she also blushed.

His real wife? What was he going to do? Was he going to do it with her on the spot? But there was not even a vacant room in this yard.

After Xiao Baoshan finished talking he actually put his arms around her.

Little Ye was totally in shock. Why did he suddenly take her in his arms? And this tightly?

Well, she would hug back then.

She just put her hands on his back and he began to hug her even tighter which almost suffocated her.

Little Ye was already in shock but now it became greater.

After a long while Xiao Baoshan loosened up and said, “Little Ye, I’ll treat you really well my whole life!”

“Mhmm.” She did not know what to say.

It was not really romantic this night and the atmosphere was not quite right also. Firstly, there was no moonlight with only some dimly lit lantern’s. Secondly, they had snuck out and others were all sleeping.

Little Five and Little Six were snoring really loudly and Li Hongmei also coughed now and then which made Little Ye rather tense.

After a long long time she was still regretting what happened that night. She felt that if circumstances were different and they had been in the suburb when Xiao Baoshan said all these words with his arms around her, with fireworks and candles, then maybe she would be so moved that could not wait to give herself to him.

Although Xiao Baoshan had confessed his love to her and apologized, what would they do the next?

In this atmosphere they would not even feel at ease kissing each other. Besides, even if they did kiss, what would be next? Which room should they go to?

As they could not do anything they just looked at each other for a long while until Little Ye yawned and Xiao Baoshan let her go back to her room to sleep.

When Little Ye went back to her room she could not sleep again. She was tossing and turning on the bed, thinking that maybe she could ask Xian to sleep in Li Hongmei’s room.

No, everyone would know what she and Xiao Baoshan did at night.

Or they could go to a lodge?

It would be a wasting a money and many diners knew her. She would be going to a hotel with her husband alright, but what if others thought that she was having an affair?

She was thinking and thinking but came up with no solution and then gradually drifted off to sleep.

Little Ye, having had Baoshan confess his love for her, was not in a particularly good mood. She did not feel that life was special or anything but everything remained the same. She mainly felt that she had already become used to living with Xiao Baoshan in the same family, besides, he could not do anything after confessing his love to her, so would the life not still be the same?

On that day he was looking after the fire for her as usual but she was not very passionate and still just did her usual job.

Xiao Baoshan was disappointed but could not do anything so he also just did his usual job.

Little Ye was also disappointed.

She thought that she would be very excited like a woman in love being all affectionate and everything after Xiao Baoshan confessed to her, but in fact she was not.

Am I too calm? Or have my feelings already died because I’ve been resurrected?

Another late night.

Little Ye had lied down on her bed as usual when Xian said that she heard rats outside the door. She suddenly sat up from the bed, thinking that it was Xiao Baoshan who was outside.

“Xian, you sleep first. I’ll go out to check and also tidy up the yard,” said Little Ye.

“Do you need a hand?” Xian yawned.

“It’s alright. Off you go to bed.”

Xian had long been sleepy and crashed as soon as she lay down.

Little Ye pushed open the door and, as expected, Xiao Baoshan was standing outside again.

Little Ye was a bit upset, thinking how thick this man was. It was late at night and so cold yet she had to sneak out to date him with her nerves straining. She was not happy in the slightest. He did not even know to change location!

However, she just finished thinking when Xiao Baoshan suddenly turned around and hugged her, with a bit strength added and her body suddenly flew up into the air and before she realized she was already standing stably on top of the roof.

Lightness kung fu!

Little Ye finally felt a trace of excitement.

Xiao Baoshan did not let her go but put his hand around his waist, saying, “Shall we have a chat here?”

Little Ye somehow just listened to him obediently. Xiao Baoshan had obviously come here in preparation as he had another coat with him and put it on Little Ye in case she caught a cold. After he wrapped her up warmly he put his arm around her, making her lean into him.

The other night Little Ye was not feeling much but now, with starlight above them, tranquility surrounding them, the night as cool as water and no worry of being disturbed by anyone, before Li Hongmei realized it her heart began to beat faster.

“Little Ye, is it tiring to open up a restaurant?” asked Xiao Baoshan.

“It’s alright, I can manage. The important thing is that we are making money. I’m happy as long as there is money.”

“How can you cook so many dishes?” asked Xiao Baoshan again.

“I just come up with them randomly.”

“You’re amazing. The dishes you come up with randomly are so tasty.”

Little Ye and Xiao Baoshan then chatted away on the rooftop. She then had learned something new about Xiao Baoshan. It turned out that he was so talkative after getting more familiar.

It was true that the other name for “being in a relationship” was “talking crap”. Men and women who were in love just talked crap all the time.

It was no wonder that in the modern era there were many rich people who claimed that they had no time for being in relationships. Surely they would need a lot of energy for talking so much crap, wouldn’t they? Those rich people just found someone who suited them, who were useful but not somebody with whom they could chat happily. Anyway, what they chatted about was already crap so what was the difference of talking different crap?

Little Ye felt rather sleepy from all the chatting and she stayed there in Xiao Baoshan’s arms, so she leaned into him and then had no idea what Xiao Baoshan talked about afterwards. She did not even remember when she came down from the roof. In short, when she woke up she found herself in her bed and the day was also bright.

Xiao Baoshan was going back to the dock that day so he bid Little Ye goodbye after helping her buy vegetables.

“Little Ye, I’m going back to the dock. If I don’t have to go sailing I’ll come home and see you.”

“Right,” said Little Ye.

Not knowing why, when she heard that Xiao Baoshan was going back to the dock she felt relieved instead of being upset. He had been too passionate during this time which made her a little uncomfortable.

After he left she could work with Xian again. She did not have to check on him while cooking and did not have to deal with his “dates” at night. She had already become used to his absence anyhow.

However, Little Ye did not expect that after Xiao Baoshan left she would begin to feel that there was something missing from her life, which made her feel empty.

What is it? Being slow in love?
