Insufficient balance

  When Su Wen Yu walked out of the bathroom with a red face, it had already been 10 minutes. As soon as she appeared, she vigilantly looked around, afraid of running into Ye Jun again who was wandering around naked. However, seeing the culprit sitting uneasily on the sofa, wearing that dirty clothes that smelled of sweat, he quickly said: "Sister Su, I really didn't know you were taking a bath in there just now, so..."

  "Alright, don't say anything more. You go take a bath first, you're all dirty and smelly. Remember to undress after going in, then throw your clothes at the door so I can put them in the washing machine."

  When Yu Jun mentioned the previous embarrassing incident, Su WenYu quickly stopped him. After all, it was a scene that made her blush and feel embarrassed. Although she reminded herself not to think wildly again, after keeping her purity for twenty years as a daughter, Ye Jun had seen everything he should have seen, and almost everything he shouldn't have seen. At this moment, she felt quite wronged.

  Ye Jun also knew his place and was clear that if it weren't for the bet he had with Su Wen Yu, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to get what he wanted. To put it bluntly, in Su Wen Yu's eyes, Ye Jun was just an uneducated and incompetent playboy, a thoroughbred lecher. As someone with strong opinions and outstanding abilities, Su Wen Yu would never like such a mediocre man, and Ye Jun knew this himself.

  She hastily rushed into the bathroom like she was escaping, quickly took off her wet and dirty clothes that were stuck to her body, and gently tossed them outside the door.

  When Su Wen Yu picked up the dirty clothes on the ground, listening to the sound of water splashing from the bathroom, her mind once again emerged with that ambiguous scene, and her body also involuntarily generated a traitorous mark. The restless Su Wen Yu could only turn on the air conditioner, while putting the changed clothes into the washing machine, listening to the humming sound of the washing machine, the originally shy and red face gradually floated up with a determined expression.

  When Ye Jun wiped his wet hair and walked out of the bathroom, he saw Su Wen Yu lying on the sofa in her pajamas, looking like nothing was wrong. However, Ye Jun had a thorough understanding of Su Wen Yu's temperament. This woman, who seemed strong on the outside, actually had an extremely weak heart. All along, Su Wen Yu had been using work to numb that fragile heart.

  "Sister Su, I'm sorry."

  Actually, Su Wen Yu had been suppressing the resentment and fear in her heart all along. She didn't want to let Ye Jun see her weak side, but hearing these words and catching a glimpse of Ye Jun's guilty face, as well as a kind of remorse that surprised Su Wen Yu, she was stunned for a moment: "I'm not blaming you, I know it was an accident."

  "It's indeed my fault, I'm sorry."

  Su Wen Yu didn't expect that her words would again be met with Ye Jun's apology, and she felt a bit strange in her heart. After all, Ye Jun's behavior was really too abnormal. Just as she was about to get up, she saw Ye Jun's eyes turn red, and he said in a tone that shocked Su Wen Yu: "Sister Su, please forgive me!"

  Ye Jun's words shocked Su Wen Yu because of the guilt they implied, leaving her momentarily at a loss. To be honest, she did feel wronged, but not to the extent of being desperate. Yet, from Ye Jun's tone, it seemed as if he had really done something terribly wrong to her. In this moment, Su Wen Yu sadly discovered that even her usually self-proclaimed exceptional thinking could short-circuit.

  But Su Wen Yu obviously didn't know that Ye Jun's repeated apologies had nothing to do with the previous intrusion into the bathroom, but rather the guilt that had been entwining in his heart since last life, the cruel guilt towards Su Wen Yu.

  Su Wen Yu was not a heartless woman, seeing Ye Jun filled with sorrow, relying on her years of experience following Dong Su Ning in the business world, her intuition told her that Ye Jun's words were genuine and not meant to elicit sympathy. Although she couldn't understand what Ye Jun was thinking, but today, after meeting Ye Jun, she felt like he was a different person from before, plus Ye Jun's true feelings were revealed at this moment, Su Wen Yu's rejection in her heart faded a lot.

  At this moment, she quickly helped Ye Jun sit on the sofa, and Su Wen Yu smiled: "Good boy, Sister Su doesn't blame you, don't do it again in the future."

  Ye Jun nodded as if he was in a trance, and Su Wen Yu couldn't tell whether Ye Jun had heard her or not. However, to avoid any similar awkward situations in the future, Su Wen Yu had decided to make things clear with Ye Jun while they were doing laundry earlier. She smiled and said, "Xiao Jun, listen up! From now on, I'll be taking care of your daily needs, but we must maintain a distinction between us as male and female. Since we're living together in the same room, we should respect each other. The chairman has already made it clear that you're not a young master here, and I'm not a subordinate either. Got it?"

  "Sister Su, you wouldn't be thinking of making a three-chapter deal with me, would you?" Ye Jun smiled and said.

  "Guessed it right, can't tell, Xiao Jun became a different person after being hit by the brick, at least he's getting smarter and smarter."

  Su Wen Yu didn't expect Ye Jun to guess her thoughts so quickly, and was somewhat surprised for a moment. But thinking about it, she still had to make things clear: "Firstly, because this is a three-bedroom two-hall suite, apart from the bathroom outside, the master bedroom inside also has one attached, in the future you'll be living in the master bedroom, going to the toilet or taking a bath are all done inside, can that work?"

  "No, Su Jie, the master bedroom should be left for you, it's more convenient for you."

  Ye Jun's head shook like a drum, but Su Wenyu said displeased: "What? Since you agreed to make three rules with Sister Su, why are you unhappy with the first one?"

  "No, Sister Su, I'm a boy, not afraid of the dark. But you're a girl, whether or not you're afraid of ghosts I don't know, but what if we bump into something and get hurt? That wouldn't be good. If you don't agree, I'll immediately call my mom and ask her to hire an ayi for me, so you can go back home."

  Ye Jun was well aware that Su Wen Yu had been in poor health since childhood, especially when the weather turned cool, his calves would go numb and ache. The guest room and bathroom were not far apart, but not close either. Ye Jun dared to guarantee that with this distance, it was likely that Su Wen Yu would hold back until the next day if he had an urgent need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

  Fortunately, Ye Jun's words were effective, and Su Wen Yu did not want to betray Dong Su Ning's trust so soon. For now, she could only agree: "Alright, secondly, after school starts, you are not allowed to return late, nor can you stay out all night."

  "I promise you, Su Jie."

  This time, Ye Jun didn't hesitate, and Su Wen Yu also didn't expect Ye Jun to answer so readily. She was taken aback for a moment before smiling and saying: "As for the last one, it's about mutual respect. Except for private matters, if there's something going on, you're not allowed to hide it from each other, got it?"

  "Alright, but Su Jie, I've got a terrible headache. Can you help me massage it? I don't know if it's the aftereffect of being hit by that brick."

  When Su Wen Yu heard Ye Jun's shameless request, she was furious for a moment and almost slapped him in the face. But calming down, she suddenly realized that Ye Jun's eyes were unfocused, his brow furrowed, and his face showed signs of pain, seemingly without any pretence. Her expression changed, and she quickly let Ye Jun rest his head on her lap, but unfortunately, he was indeed suffering from a splitting headache and had no time to enjoy this rare opportunity to sleep on the beautiful woman's knees.

  Su Wen's face was slightly red as she massaged Ye Jun's temples, gazing at his gradually relaxing face. To her surprise, putting aside her previous biases, this face was indeed handsome. She couldn't help but ask, "Little Jun, why did you let Su Jie sleep in the master bedroom? Actually, Su Jie isn't afraid of ghosts, and even if it's midnight, she can turn on the lights."

  Ye Jun had already been tormented by the pain and was dizzy, subconsciously saying: "Because Su Jie's body is not good, when it's cold, her legs are prone to soreness, I don't want Su Jie to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and endure the pain of walking such a long distance."

  After finishing speaking, Ye Jun's consciousness was flooded with an extremely strong sense of fatigue, and he fell into a deep sleep.

  Tick-tock...

  A crystal tear quietly fell on Ye Jun's hair, and at this moment, Su Wen Yu's heart was greatly shocked, almost crying into a tearful person. She wasn't clear how Ye Jun knew about this secret, after all, except for her, including the parents who raised her for over twenty years, were completely unaware. However, Su Wen Yu had once made a wish to the moon at a young and confused age, if she must marry a certain man in this lifetime, she hoped that this man could understand her suffering and comprehend her sorrow.

  At this moment, Su Wenyu's pretty face was unusually gentle, looking at Ye Jun snoring on his thigh, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up with a sweet smile, and she murmured: "Is this... fate?"

  A ray of morning sunlight entered through the window, startling Ye Jun out of his sweet dream. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he felt a wave of dizziness in his head. Ye Jun vaguely sensed that something was off, feeling as if his head was being topped by some "lively jumping" unknown creatures. Summoning up courage, he turned his body sideways and saw a constantly undulating "curtain".

  Curtains?

  "Terrible!"

  Yu Jun, who suddenly woke up, got out of bed at the first time and only then saw clearly that what was in front of him was not a curtain, but the corner of his pajamas. As for why it was fluctuating, nonsense, it must be Su Wenyu's belly fluctuating due to breathing.

  Such a big movement obviously woke Su Wen Yu from his dream, and he lazily stretched out his arms, making the waves in front of his chest seem like a deadly weapon. However, it seems that Su Wen Yu didn't notice the kind of visual impact this action had on Ye Jun, and he said to himself: "You're awake so early, I thought you'd sleep until the sun shines on your butt."

  "Alright, Sister Su is going to make you breakfast."

  Right after that, ignoring Ye Jun who was stunned, Su Wen Yu suddenly wanted to get up, but her pretty face scrunched up and she let out a pained cry: "Ah! So painful!"

  "What's wrong? Su Jie?" Ye Jun also 'happened' to come back to his senses, saying anxiously.

  Su Wen furrowed her cute little nose, constantly rubbing her thighs, and bitterly smiled: "Maybe it's because I let you lean on me for the whole night, now both legs are sore and numb, unable to move."

  "Sorry, Su Jie."

  Ye Jun scratched his head like a child who had done something wrong, and Su Wen Yu furrowed her brow unintentionally. Just as she was about to say something, Ye Jun laughed and said: "Sister Su, how about this? Let me take care of this breakfast. You're not convenient to move around now, so just humor me and try my cooking."

  Ye Jun finished speaking and didn't care whether Su Wen Yu agreed or disagreed, he quickly ran towards the kitchen, leaving behind Su Wen Yu who wanted to speak but stopped herself.
