Chapter 243: Really Didn’t Do Anything
The next day, early in the morning, the sun was high in the sky. Lin Tian felt something pressing on his stomach, making it hard to breathe.
Slightly opening his eyes, Lin Tian saw Mei Ruyan resting her head on his lower abdomen, sleeping soundly.
A person’s head doesn’t weigh much, but having it press on one spot constantly would be uncomfortable for anyone!
Lin Tian had no idea how long Mei Ruyan had been sleeping like this; he just felt a sore and bloated sensation in his stomach.
Raising his right hand, Lin Tian was about to lift Mei Ruyan’s head and then use the opportunity to shift his body away.
Just as Lin Tian’s right hand touched Mei Ruyan’s head, she unexpectedly turned over, without Lin Tian knowing if it was intentional or not.
This turnover moved her head further down from his stomach.
"Gulp!" Lin Tian swallowed, finding himself in a dilemma. He didn’t dare to move; if he tried moving Mei Ruyan’s head again, would she turn over again?
"Oh god!" Lin Tian clasped his hands together and prayed, while using his right hand to move Mei Ruyan’s head again.
"Mmm!" Perhaps because Lin Tian was afraid that Mei Ruyan would turn over, he used a bit more force this time, which ended up waking her up.
Stretching lazily, Mei Ruyan, without any warning, turned over...
"Oh my god!" Those four words perhaps best reflected Lin Tian’s thoughts.
If Mei Ruyan turns over like this, wouldn’t her face be at a critical spot?
Lin Tian was scared, scared that Mei Ruyan would wake up, even more scared that if she did, she would punch him or bite him in a fit of anger.
So he had to stop Mei Ruyan from turning over.
There was no room for hesitation. He directly controlled her head and pushed it back.
In her sleep, Mei Ruyan didn’t turn over, and Lin Tian’s force was indeed a bit strong. Mei Ruyan’s beautiful eyes opened, staring dully ahead.
Lin Tian’s dark eyes blinked, and Mei Ruyan’s eyes blinked.
"Ah...!" A sharp, ear-piercing scream rang out.
"Wife, you’re screaming too loudly!" Lin Tian, frightened beyond belief, covered his ears with his hands, shouting innocently.
"Lin Tian, you big jerk, what did you do last night!" Mei Ruyan held the quilt tightly against her body with both hands, staring at Lin Tian in horror.
If there was a knife in front of her, Mei Ruyan would have wanted to stab him immediately.
"I didn’t do anything!" Lin Tian didn’t dare joke with his wife anymore. If he didn’t explain things clearly now, he’d be done for!
"Don’t misunderstand. We just slept together last night; we didn’t do anything!" Lin Tian swallowed.
"Slept together?"
Mei Ruyan rubbed her temples, which throbbed slightly due to last night’s drinking, and fumed, her chest heaving: "You say you did nothing after sleeping together!"
"We just slept together, nothing else happened!"
"You slept together, and as a man, you don’t even have the guts to admit it!"
"The issue is I didn’t do anything, so what am I admitting to?"
Lin Tian felt his head ache, almost unable to explain it: "You sleep on your side, I sleep on my side; we were on the same bed but we didn’t sleep together together!"
"Heh, so all you know is how to quibble?" Mei Ruyan sneered. Originally having a good impression of Lin Tian, her heart turned cold, her affection dropping from heaven into a pit.
"If I did it, I’d definitely admit it!" Lin Tian’s eyes sparkled: "It’s something you admit if you did; if not, you don’t!"
Lin Tian spoke with unusual certainty. Mei Ruyan calmed down, coming to her senses after just waking up, initially assuming something had happened between them last night.
"Really just slept together?" Mei Ruyan asked, and reached under the quilt, feeling her clothes—nothing at all on her.
Checked the bath towel—who knows where it had gone. In other words, all Mei Ruyan had on her was a Summer Quilt.
"You’re lying, I’m completely naked!" Mei Ruyan’s earlier calmness changed to agitation once again.
"First, you were the one who took a bath first, and said to wait for me to finish bathing so we could sleep together!"
"When I came out after bathing, you were already asleep. Also, after your bath, you emerged with only a bath towel, and your clothes, including your undergarments, were in the bathroom, so your being naked has nothing to do with me!"
Lin Tian paused, continuing to explain: "After I finished my bath, you were already asleep, so I just slept on the other side of the bed!"
"And then we get to the things that happened this morning. I’ve explained everything, whether you believe it or not!" Lin Tian shrugged helplessly.
"What you said does ring a bell!" Mei Ruyan calmed down, carefully recalling last night’s events. Lin Tian wasn’t wrong, but how did he know all her undergarments were in the bathroom?
"How did you know my undergarments were in the bathroom?" Mei Ruyan frowned, her mind conjuring an unsavory image of a man sneakily going to grab her undergarments with a sly grin...
"I..." Lin Tian was tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.
Should he admit he did sniff them?
"What do you mean you?"
"I didn’t mean to touch your clothes; it’s just that I had to undress too, and they ended up mixed together. So when I was getting dressed, I grabbed the wrong one!" Lin Tian made up a random excuse.
"You even got dressed?" Mei Ruyan stared at Lin Tian, blinking her big eyes. This lie was full of holes.
Lin Tian felt guilty under her gaze, suddenly recalling that he too emerged with only a bath towel last night.
Just now claiming to have dressed, wasn’t that an obvious lie? This was one big embarrassing moment.
"Heh... and then took them off again?" Mei Ruyan added with a laugh, with a thick sense of irony.
"Yes, then I had to undress to get into bed to sleep!" Lin Tian’s face was turning quite unsightly.
"Then how did we wake up in such a position?" Mei Ruyan got back on track, returning to the main topic.
"You ask me as if I know?"
Talking about this made Lin Tian feel wronged: "I was sleeping peacefully, but you toss and turn in your sleep, end up on me, and if I hadn’t stopped you, you’d have turned right onto my crotch!"
"What did you say!" Mei Ruyan was infuriated by Lin Tian’s last sentence.
"I’m telling the truth; if it wasn’t for your turnover and my pushing you away, who knows what kind of sleeping position we’d be in now!" Lin Tian stood his ground this time; he hadn’t done anything wrong here.
Mei Ruyan knew herself to have a habit of tossing and turning in her sleep. Lin Tian wasn’t wrong on this point.
"Really didn’t do anything?" Mei Ruyan confirmed again.
"Really didn’t do anything! We just slept together!" Lin Tian exhibited an innocent expression.
