Chapter 8
If I Woke Up Next To You
"Yun... we have to get at least one hour of sleep..."
It was almost four in the morning, an hour before the assembly time of the Shu army's training. It was also supposed to be their vacation week, but knowing how dedicated Xing Cai is, he almost groaned in frustration. She'd die first before skipping the daily vigorous preparation for the upcoming war. That's his girl. Always standing and ready to defend the kingdom.
Normally, he would be proud at this thought, but not now.
"But, Cai... This is our honeymoon period. Can't we just, I don't know, let them be for just a few days?
His wife sighed after he ran his hand down her bare shoulder, but that didn't mean he already won the argument. She buried her face in the pillow, trying to ignore his caressing touches. Darn it.
"Honey... come on. Just another one, and then we'll really sleep," he continued murmuring, determined not to give up until she gives in. She murmured some incomprehensible words as a response. He poked her again and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said, Father would be mad if we did not show up at the field today," Xing Cai mumured, her almond eyes half closed from sleepiness.
He doubt that. Zhang Fei was actually the one who suggested to let his daughter take a few days off after their wedding. With a playful wink.
"Why would he be? Doesn't he want a grandchild... Ouch!" He yelped when his wife pinched him at his side. He laughed when he saw the crimson flush on her cheeks.
"Love, we haven't got a wink of sleep since last night because you were so insatiable. Can't you just give me at least an hour to sleep?"
"Right after this."
He pulled up the blanket when his wife started to squeal.
