My Heart Aches For You
Huanhuan returned to the cabin and wanted to climb into bed to sleep, but she realized that she was too short and couldn’t climb into bed!
In that instant, she felt as if the whole world was against her.
A pair of big hands reached out from behind her, picked Huanhuan up, and gently placed her on the bed.
Huanhuan looked back and saw that it was Bai Di.
Bai Di said, “Take off your clothes.”
Huanhuan immediately covered her small flat chest. “What do you want? I’m so young now. Are you really gonna be heartless?!”
Bai Di didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What are you thinking? I’m trying to mend your dress.”
Huanhuan: “…”
She was too dirty-minded to judge a gentleman by her own standards.
She looked embarrassed as she took off her dress and handed it to Bai Di. Then, she lifted the blanket and crawled under it.
Bai Di took out a needle and thread. He sat on the edge of the bed and helped her remove the crooked stitches. Then, he sewed the dress again. The thread had to be hidden under the fabric so that it wouldn’t scrape Huanhuan’s delicate skin and make her feel uncomfortable.
Huanhuan lay under the blanket and popped her head out. She was impressed by how meticulous and serious Bai Di was. “Bai Di, you’re so kind.”
Bai Di folded the sewn dress and took out the deerskin to make her new boots.
As he cut the leather, he asked, “How long will this last?”
Huanhuan had already asked Little Brat this question. Little Brat said that it would take at least a month.
She said, “It should be another month before I go back to normal.”
“Do you feel uncomfortable in any way other than becoming smaller?”
Huanhuan shook her head and said no.
The little yellow chick flapped her wings and flew in. She circled around Bai Di and landed on Huanhuan’s head.
Xue Ling then chased after her. “Eggy, you have to sleep with me tonight. Don’t disturb your mother’s rest!”
Eggy turned around and faced Xue Ling with her butt.
She wanted to sleep with her mother!
Xue Ling came to carry her, but she pecked him.
Eggy refused to leave.
Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She said to Xue Ling, “Let Eggy sleep with me tonight.”
Xue Ling immediately followed suit. “Then I want to sleep with you too!”
He looked at Bai Di.
Bai Di smiled, his gaze gentle. However, he had no intention of backing down.
Huanhuan was in a difficult position.
She looked at the bed under her butt. It was a double bed. Under normal circumstances, it could not accommodate three adults, but Huanhuan was a small girl now and did not take up much space, so the three of them could fit on the bead.
Huanhuan shifted her butt. “Then let’s sleep together.”
Anyway, she was a flat-chested little girl now. Bai Di and Xue Ling couldn’t do anything to her. It didn’t matter if the three of them slept together.
Bai Di and Xue Ling had no objections.
In order not to be discovered by Shuang Yun that the three of them were sleeping together, Bai Di and Xue Ling tacitly kept quiet. They quickly took off their coats and climbed into bed. The three of them lay down side by side.
Huanhuan slept in the middle, while Bai Di was on the left and Xue Ling was on the right. Eggy slept on Huanhuan’s chest.
Huanhuan slept very deeply.
Early the next morning, Shuang Yun came knocking on the door.
Bai Di answered the door.
“It’s not even dawn yet. Why are you knocking?”
“I’m here to ask Huanhuan to watch the sunrise. The sunrise at sea is beautiful!” Shuang Yun squeezed past him and walked in. He realized that in addition to Huanhuan, there was also Xue Ling on the bed.
Shuang Yun immediately stopped. He first looked at Xue Ling, who had just woken up, then at Bai Di, who was smiling calmly. He was furious.
“The three of you actually slept together behind my back!”
After a night, Xue Ling’s seasickness acted up again. His face was a little pale, and he didn’t have the strength to speak. “Eggy insisted on sleeping with Huanhuan last night, so I followed her. It was too late, so I didn’t tell you.”
Bai Di smiled and added, “And this bed is too small for a fourth person.”
Shuang Yun refused to listen to the explanation. “It’s all an excuse! You slept with Huanhuan behind my back. You’re too disloyal!”
Huanhuan stuck her head out from under the blanket. Her hair was messy from sleeping the night before, making her face look even smaller and rounder. “We were just sleeping. We didn’t do anything.”
“I don’t believe it!”
Huanhuan extended her fair and chubby arms. “Look, I’m clean. There are no marks at all. They really didn’t do anything.”
Her skin was so pale that it seemed to glow.
Shuang Yun’s gaze seemed to burn as he quickly moved aside. The tips of his ears were slightly red. Although the words he said were still firm, his tone had softened. “Even if you guys just slept, you shouldn’t have done it behind my back. It’s not fair to me.”
“Then we’ll call you along the next time we sleep together.”
“You said it. No going back on your word.”
“Yes, I definitely won’t go back on my word.”
After receiving Huanhuan’s promise, Shuang Yun’s anger finally subsided.
He urged, “Put your clothes on. I’ll take you out to watch the sunrise.”
Xue Ling wanted to get up and help Huanhuan put on her clothes, but Huanhuan stopped him.
“You’re not allowed to go anywhere in this state. Lie in bed and rest.”
Xue Ling lay back and looked at her serious expression. He couldn’t help but pinch her red face. He deliberately smiled frivolously. “Are you feeling sorry for me?”
“Yes, my heart aches for you,” Huanhuan admitted bluntly.
Xue Ling’s heart softened.
It felt too good to be loved.
Huanhuan climbed out of bed and put on her clothes. Then, Bai Di picked her up and lowered her to the ground.
Bai Di helped her put on the small boots she had made last night.
“Although the floors on the ship are flat and clean, it’s humid out at sea and the climate is cold. You’ll catch a cold running around barefoot. You have to wear shoes.”
Huanhuan looked down at the new boots of the right size, and her heart warmed.
She held out her arms. “Hug.”
Bai Di bent down and picked her up.
Huanhuan immediately leaned over, hugged his head, and kissed his lips. “The shoes are very comfortable.”
Bai Di’s lips curved. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll eat you up if you tease me so early in the morning?”
Huanhuan puffed out her flat chest. “I’m not afraid.”
Bai Di couldn’t do anything to her. He handed her to Shuang Yun and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Shuang Yun brought Huanhuan to the deck to watch the sunrise.
He picked Huanhuan up and placed her on his shoulder so that she could see further.
The huge morning sun rose bit by bit from the end of the horizon. Golden light sprinkled onto the sea, covering it with a light and delicate golden veil.
The clouds rolled in the sky.
Huanhuan’s eyes widened, attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
Eggy sat on her head, clearly shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her. Her red eyes didn’t blink. They were especially shiny like two small rubies.
