Chapter 10 You're such a restless sleeper!

Gao Yang called out softly for a long time, but the only response was a flat breathing sound.

"Sleeping so soundly..." Gao Yang muttered softly, then realized that Lu Jinghe wasn't holding her very tightly.

She was able to move around, and Lu Jinghe wasn't sure if she wanted to sleep there or if she was just curious and wanted to take a stroll before going back, so he didn't hold her too tightly.

"Move slowly and gently; he's sleeping so soundly, we can't wake him up."

Gao Yang carefully turned over and positioned herself face to face with Lu Jinghe.

"These eyelashes are so beautiful..." Gao Yang stared intently at Lu Jinghe under the warm light emanating from the glass talisman lamp placed by the door.

"It's curved, how did it come about? I really want to touch it... but if I touch it, Lu Jinghe will probably wake up."

Although Gao Yang kept his voice very low and muttered very quietly, he was too close to Lu Jinghe and Lu Jinghe heard him clearly.

Lu Jinghe's lips curled up, and Gao Yang jumped in surprise.

Gao Yang's heart was pounding so hard that he stopped breathing.

"Huff... Huff... No!" Gao Yang held his breath for a long time, and only when he saw that Lu Jinghe did not react did he let out his breath. He couldn't control himself and all the air he exhaled blew onto Lu Jinghe's face.

Her loose hair and beautiful eyelashes were all blown around.

Gao Yang exclaimed in surprise, then immediately covered his mouth, because the "No" he had said was too loud.

"How can you be so stupid! You used to be so smart, what happened to you today?" Gao Yang started to dislike herself in a very unhelpful way, and then glanced at Lu Jinghe.

Just now, when she covered her mouth with her hand, her right hand accidentally hit Lu Jinghe's arm, which was wrapped around her.

Seeing that Lu Jinghe still did not react and his breathing was steady.

"Sleeping like a log... not even reacting, what sweet dreams could he be having?"

Gao Yang muttered under his breath, his tone tinged with a hint of resentment.

He had a beautiful woman in his arms, yet he slept like a log, without reacting at all. Was that acceptable?! Was that acceptable?!

It's not that Gao Yang is narcissistic, but in the entire Tang Dynasty, how many women could surpass her in figure and appearance!

No, absolutely not!

Even if there are differences, they are only in style and the feeling they convey are different.

In terms of looks, I can only be on par with her at best.

Lu Jinghe was unaware of Gao Yang's inner monologue. If he had known, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold back his laughter, but he was already trying his best to control himself.

As Lu Jinghe listened to Gao Yang's incessant muttering, he thought, "Since you want to know what kind of sweet dream I'm having, then I have to play along."

So, before Gao Yang could react, Lu Jinghe tightened his arms and pulled her completely into his embrace.

Lu Jinghe was afraid that if he hugged her directly, Gao Yang's face would be pressed against his, and she might turn into a steam engine, so he changed the direction when he hugged her, pulling her down a little so that she could lean against his chest.

Before Gao Yang could react, her face was almost instantly pressed against Lu Jinghe's chest.

Her face instantly turned bright red, even her breathing changed, and her little heart pounded wildly.

"Hoo...hoo...so soft, no, so hard, no, that's not right either!"

"How does his chest manage to be both hard and soft? It feels so comfortable to lean against. It's different from a woman's chest. Usually, when I rest my head on Qingwu's chest, it just feels soft."

Gao Yang seemed to have already determined that Lu Jinghe was a dead pig when he slept, and that his quiet muttering wouldn't wake him up, so he let loose and kept muttering.

Lu Jinghe smiled, preparing to scare her a little.

He pulled his arms closer, holding Gao Yang tightly in his embrace. His other hand naturally slipped under Gao Yang, and he wrapped his arms around her. Then Lu Jinghe rolled over and lay flat on his back.

Gao Yang was bewildered. She had been muttering to herself, and then inexplicably found herself lying on Lu Jinghe's chest.

He even hugged me!

He hugged me!!!

I've got a hug!!!

Lu Jinghe could clearly feel Gao Yang's heart pounding, and he chuckled to himself, thinking, "Well, you don't know I wasn't asleep..."

Lu Jinghe smacked his lips and mumbled, "Wife...wife, hug...hug me~"

Lu Jinghe's words were fragmented and sounded more like he was talking in his sleep.

"Mother...Wife!" Gao Yang's heart was pounding even faster. Lu Jinghe roughly sensed it and estimated it to be around 120 or 130. Then he secretly made a hand seal and checked Gao Yang's body.

There were no problems, so I felt relieved.

His large hand rested firmly on Gao Yang's back. Lu Jinghe pressed his advantage, murmuring, "My wife... I long to marry you..."

"Marry...marry me...ahhh...what kind of dream is this?"

Gao Yang really wanted to rub her breasts to express her shyness, but since she was lying on Lu Jinghe, she didn't dare to at all.

What if she wakes up? She's a lady from a prominent family, a royal princess, and one of the most favored princesses.

With this kind of status, how could Gao Yang climb into a man's bed in the middle of the night? Doesn't she have any dignity?

I should have left... I should have left a long time ago.

Gao Yang had this thought in her mind, but she was somewhat reluctant to leave Lu Jinghe's embrace.

"Don't leave me... I will marry you, I promise."

Sensing the right atmosphere, Lu Jinghe stopped muttering and suddenly shouted, "I want the whole world to know that you are the wife of Lu Jinghe, the Celestial Master of the Great Tang Dynasty!"

Gao Yang was taken aback, looked up at Lu Jinghe who was breathing steadily, and carefully poked the corner of his upturned mouth.

Gao Yang withdrew her hand in alarm. Whether she was bewitched or not, after Lu Jinghe uttered those words in his sleep, she desperately wanted to wake him and tell him:

I, Gao Yang, will marry no one but you in this life!

But she eventually gave up. Putting aside the fact that Lu Jinghe was just talking in his sleep, she wondered if he would still remember his dream of marrying her after he woke up. And how would she explain it to Lu Jinghe after he woke up?

Climbing into a man's bed in the middle of the night... how do I explain that...?

Lu Jinghe stopped pretending to be dreaming and talking in his sleep, and instead relaxed his hands, gently placing them on Gao Yang's back.

He didn't open his eyes and didn't know Gao Yang's current state. He was inexplicably poked on the corner of his mouth and didn't know what Gao Yang meant.

He planned to give up, he'd had enough of making a scene, he was happy, and it was time to go to sleep.

If she wants to leave, let her go.

Gao Yang stared at Lu Jinghe for a long time, making sure he was asleep. The dream seemed to be over. Should he leave?

You can go.

I think I'll pass... Anyway, I can get the imperial decree for the marriage when I go back to the palace in the morning.

We're family sooner or later, so what's wrong with husband and wife cuddling and sleeping together?

Gao Yang felt a little reluctant to be embraced by Lu Jinghe's large and comfortable arms, and lay there motionless.

"Hmm~ I feel a little sleepy."

"Why don't we just sleep like this? As long as we get up early tomorrow, it's fine."

"Okay, that's settled."

So Gao Yang closed his eyes and stopped muttering.

After a while, the two fell asleep almost at the same time.

……

The next day, when the sunlight shone through the window onto Gao Yang's face.

She groggily opened her eyes, and then...

Then she saw Lu Jinghe staring at her with a wide smile.

"Ah! What are you doing in my bed!"

"What? Your bed? This is my bed! You're such a restless sleeper, did you sleepwalk into my bed?"

"What do you mean I'm not behaving properly? You're the one who's not behaving properly in your sleep! Last night you..."

The more Gao Yang spoke, the softer his voice became, until it gradually faded away.

"What happened last night?"

"It's nothing, I slept very well last night."
