Married to the Protagonist

Tch!

Chen Jinyao slept deeply tonight.

It was unclear what was wrong with Yan Cheng, but he decided to get up in the middle of the night. He made sure to keep quiet so as to not wake Chen Jinyao. Who knew that she was sound asleep to the point that she probably wouldn’t even realize if a robber came in to steal things.

When it was near morning, Chen Jinyao had a dream.

The scenes in the dream were so realistic that it terrified her. It was the type of situation where although you knew it was a dream, if you pinch your thigh, you’d immediately feel the pain. Chen Jinyao was bewildered by how real it felt.

There was a little bun by her legs and the child’s eyes were clear as day. He blinked, his eyelashes flickering like a fan. He couldn’t hide his feelings, covering his mouth and saying, “Great grandmother, let me tell you a secret!”

Chen Jinyao was shocked by “great grandmother,” unable to process this for a moment.

The little bun exclaimed mysteriously, “Great grandfather said…”

Before he could finish his words, a forceful voice rang by the door coupled along with the knocking of the cane against the floor serving as warning. “Yan Jiahe, try saying another word. Your great grandfather won’t help you hide your snacks anymore.”

The little bun whose name was Yan Jiahe immediately shut up. He wore a serious expression as to say, “nothing was more important than snacks.” “Sorry great grandmother, I can’t tell you the promise made between men unless you can give me more snacks.”

After that, he smacked his lips, acting clever.

“…” Right after, Chen Jinyao watched as a group of little buns walked out from behind the old Yan Cheng. Each one of them yelled successively, “Little six, you cheated!” It looked as if they were going to drag Yan Jiahe, that traitor, out and bury him alive.

Chen Jinyao stepped back and sucked in a cold breath. She felt suffocated.

She felt this suffocating feeling more and more clearly, and then she was scared awake.

It was May right now, so morning came earlier.

The sunshine climbed through the window and shone on the room brightly through the curtains.

Chen Jinyao gradually snapped out of her dazed expression. Her heart thumped rapidly, feeling startled still. Although this wasn’t a nightmare, this…

She pursed her lips, her expression a bit complicated.

After a while, Chen Jinyao moved slightly over and her gaze landed on Yan Cheng next to her. The man was active most of the night, and now he basically blacked out. She liked him more while he was sleeping than when he was wearing an arrogant expression. He had bags under his eyes, but it wasn’t that visible. When his eyes were closed, his black eyelashes seemed much longer. Unconsciously, Chen Jinyao extended her hand and pinched his eyelashes with her index and middle finger. She didn’t dare to tug on it too hard.

As a result, she naturally woke Yan Cheng up as expected.

Chen Jinyao was speechless.

“Tch, I dare you to move.” Yan Cheng lazily yawned.

This sentence reminded her of her dream. Chen Jinyao immediately thought of that dream. She had finally calmed down and wore a pleasing expression when that diminished after hearing his words. She narrowed her eyes and then sighed.

Yan Cheng was extremely observant. He supported his head up with one hand and cut straight to the chase, “It’s one thing that I don’t get a morning kiss, but why are you giving me this expression?”
